Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1688 The Secret Word of the Goddess (Thirty-three)

  The decision to expedition to Egypt was wrong. This was realized from the moment Eugène Boarnet landed ashore.

  The French experience unprecedented pain here, which is different from the pain when crossing the Alps. They must endure the hardship without shade, especially without water to drink.

The sand and gravel under my feet are hot, the sun is dazzling, the wind during the day is suffocating, and the night is as cold as an ice cellar, but compared with Eugene’s childhood experience, these are still bearable, at least in the dark. He thought so before the disease began to spread in the barracks.

  Eugène’s father, Viscount Boarnet, has a serious tendency to domestic violence. He despises Eugène’s mother Rose, a Creole woman who was born on the Caribbean island and had little education. When she married the Viscount, she didn’t even have a rich dowry. Rose’s grandfather, Gaspar Tache, went to Martinique from France to make a fortune from the sugar cane plantation there, but he encountered a hurricane and became a man again. Lazy, in the end, not only did they not make a fortune, they almost went bankrupt like Dumas’s grandfather. Fortunately, they still have an estate in Santo Domingo.

That piece of land has nothing to produce except sugar. Rose has loved to eat sugar since she was a child. It was the only thing that could be called "enjoyment" in the career of her not wealthy aristocratic lady, but this caused her teeth to turn black. The father who had passed the court of Louis XVI taught her not to smile.

  Viscount Boarnet is Rose’s cousin, and their engagement is entirely arranged by their parents. Rose from the island does not understand art or literature, and is completely incomparable with the women of Paris.

  When Eugene was 3 years old, Rose fled to the monastery due to a domestic violence. Viscount Boarnet chased him and kidnapped Eugene, threatening Rose to go home with him. Rose went with him for the baby. At the time, Otense was still very young, only over a year old, but Eugene remembered it.

Josephine is a good woman, who didn’t know how to be "happy". The Viscount Boarnet taught her. He told her to learn art and music, mixing everything the upper class society needs, and let her help her career keep up with some big people. "Intimate contacts".

At that time, the atmosphere of the upper class in France was like this, but Louis XVI was much more loyal to the Queen than Louis XV, and he liked hunting more than Lie Yan. Viscount Boarnet's official career remained painless until 1789. His life was changed only in 1988.

Josephine’s later introduction of Napoleon to the upper class of society was accumulated during that time, but his "good luck" did not last long, because of his aristocratic status and the history of serving as Minister of War, Boarnet The Viscount was suspected of being a royalist. The Public Security Committee ordered his arrest on March 2, 1794. Josephine was also arrested on April 22, 1794, because she tried to rescue her husband. At that time she was imprisoned in the cellar of the Saint-Joseph-de-Cham church monastery on Vojlar Street. It was once one of the scenes of the September 1792 incident. The walls and wooden chairs were full of priests’ blood and Brains, there are only three vents in the dungeon, no toilets, and only one bottle of water per person per day.

  It was cold in the cellar even in midsummer, and the prisoners’ bodies quickly collapsed in this environment. And they have to suffer not only physical torture, but also mental torture. They worry about when they will be guillotined every day.

The reason why Rose survived was also because she was too ill to send her to the guillotine. On the fourth day after her husband died, Robespierre would fall. If Robespierre lived for a while, Josephine would also Will go with her husband.

With Josephine’s release from prison, Napoleon Bonaparte, who had performed well in Toulon and was also considered to be promoted by the Jacobins, was put in prison. The dungeon was also full of stench and the prisoners were down and down. They were as worried as the prisoners during the reign of terror that they would go to the guillotine.

But even such conditions are much better than the prisons of religious courts. There was no such thing as "human rights" at the time, and there were divine verdicts and "witches" who were worried about being accused who refused to confess and used torture to extract confessions. All kinds of instruments of torture, basically a good person enters, it is difficult to get out of prison without being tortured into a useless person.

  Eu Ren was only 13 years old at that time, he could not protect himself, let alone his mother. Indulgence after a long period of depression is an objective law, as it was during the Renaissance and after Louis XIV. Rose desperately needed someone to protect her and her children. At that time, she was interested in General Lazar Osh. However, he was unwilling to leave his wife and marry Josephine with his children.

  She wanted to marry him. There was a practical guarantee. This idea continued until Josephine married Napoleon. At that time, Ballas was tired of her, and introducing her to Napoleon would be beneficial in all aspects.

  Napoleon had no experience in this area at the time. He was short, thin and arrogant. He was not good at quick question and answer in the living room. His clumsy interaction with women earned him the nickname "Cat in Boots" among the ladies.

  This was an unequal marriage from the beginning. Josephine took full control of Napoleon, and she even told Napoleon how much debt she owed under her glamorous appearance. However, Napoleon was ordered to go to Italy not long after his marriage. If he unfortunately died in the war, Josephine would still find a third husband. So for Josephine, this was a fateful gamble, and Napoleon Marriage with Josephine is also related to her French identity and her two children. When he chats with women in the salon, he also discusses the number of children they have. How can such a man please women?

  Later, he became famous, and there were more women around him, including the actress Miss Georgina. Ghostwriting memoirs for celebrities related to celebrities is also a way out for poor literati. Georgina's memoirs were also ghostwritten, but she felt that the content was not "interesting" enough, so she added oil and jealousy to the book and wrote a volume by Napoleon. The story of money stuffed into her bra.

Also writing the "Boom" news was the Italian opera actress Gracini. At that time it was Bonaparte returning from Egypt and coming to Italy for the second time. He was no longer the one holding Josephine at that time. Portrait of Missing her young husband.

  The Venus of Medici is located in the Uffizi Gallery, where it was once the government affairs hall ordered by Cosimo I. Venus was placed in the forum of the government affairs hall.

  She looked a little strange, her head looked to the left, her hands were covering her body, and there was no one beside her at the time.

This sculpture is a replica of a Greek bronze sculpture. She was first moved to her manor by Hariand from Athens, and was transported to the Uffizi Palace by the Medici family in 1677. At that time, the sculpture was painted in color. Yes, blonde and red lips, is the type that Napoleon likes.

   In 1802, she was sent to the Louvre. From Medici’s Venus to "Napoleon’s Venus", she did not return to Florence until Napoleon abdicated in 1815.

  At that time, when Napoleon admired this sculpture, he was not standing in front of her, but standing on her side, which is the direction she looked at.

As we all know, Venus is the wife of the God of War, even though Mrs. Destal in the book published after his death regarded Napoleon Bonaparte as an impolite, homeland, and moral mercenary. He is an Eastern tyrant, a new Atti. Ra is a soldier who only knows destruction and destruction, but Napoleon's title of "God of War" in Europe is almost undeniable.

  The few defeats that made him remembered were his expedition to Egypt and the attack on Saint-Jean-Acre.

The ancient name of Jaffa, Joppa, means a beautiful and lovely city. Since the time of Solomon, it has been the gateway to foreign trade in Jerusalem. The cedar wood used to build the Temple of Solomon was landed in Joppa and then shipped to Jerusalem during the time of Ezra. The timber of the reconstructed Second Temple also entered there.

Starting from Damita, Jaffa is the only port of berthing along the coast. After the occupation of Jaffa, the cargo shipped from the sea can be unloaded. If you occupy Jerusalem without occupying Jaffa, you will destroy your supply line, so Napoleon before attacking Jerusalem Jaffa must be occupied.

  At that time, Napoleon and Kleber acted separately. Kleber was responsible for leading the avant-garde to establish an outpost. Napoleon and Born and Rann led two divisions from Cairo on February 9th.

  However, on February 22nd, Kleber’s avant-garde disappeared. Napoleon sent a guard of two hundred cavalry and a hundred camels on foot to search for them.

  Finally, when the sun was about to set, he didn't find it. Finally, Napoleon ran to a high ground and saw a huge camping ground with many tents. According to the French marching regulations, tents would not be set up for camping in the wild, and Napoleon decided that it was not Kleber's army.

  At this time, the troops were very tired. They had walked 12 fares in 9 hours, and the enemy troops were also on their way. They had to evacuate immediately.

The lack of water in the desert will kill people, but the enemy can also set up ambushes through wells, so the French army retreated to the Zawi wells. The patrol ordered to search for the avant-garde along the coastline did not bring any news until three o'clock in the evening, ten. A patrol consisting of two cavalry on dromedaries came back from Yiyang, and they brought back a local man.

  This person said that he saw Kleber’s avant-garde heading towards Karak. In fact, Kleber was so lost that he didn’t know where he was. He didn’t notice the abnormality until five o’clock in the afternoon without seeing the holy mausoleum.

  After determining his geographic location, Kleber let the troops rest for a while. After drinking the vegetable soup, after the moon came out, he followed his footsteps back to Zavi's well. He did not wait for Napoleon until ten o'clock the next day.

   And Napoleon had decided to let the Arab guide at three o'clock in the morning to find Kleber who was going to Karak.

  Unable to see Napoleon, the soldiers were very discouraged. Some even broke their guns.

  Later they saw Napoleon’s gray tuxedo. Everyone cheered. When they met again, it was almost noon. They were not far from the Zawi well, and the camels carrying water were coming towards them. After all the divisions were stationed and the number was counted, five people died of getting lost and heatstroke. They were replaced by Ran to command the avant-garde.

A strange thing happened at this time. The arid desert actually rained but it never stopped. Many camels fell because of this. The wide soles of these "desert boats" adapted to the desert, not adapted to the muddy and humid climate. Muddy water on February 26 It was knee deep, and the pace of the French army's march also slowed down.

The rain continued until mid-March. On March 4, the French army began to attack the city. On March 1st, they arrived at Ersdod. Because of the presence of scorpions, people were afraid that no one would dare to approach. When camping in these ancient ruins, people read the Bible in the commander-in-chief’s tent every night.

   caught the prisoners to feed them, Eugene and Kruze were responsible for keeping the prisoners in check.

  At that time, the still capable army retreated into a large ancient building with walls around it. Residents in nearby villages became refugees because of the war. They were mixed with captives. There were children, women and old people. They also needed food. The French were unwilling to distribute limited food to the enemy. Eugene asked Napoleon what should they do. Napoleon's answer was "Your mission is to die, not to bring these unfortunate people to me, and then I ask what should I do with these people?"

  These refugees are not Turks, but Anautians and Albanians. They surrendered chanting forgiveness, otherwise they would fight to the last breath.

  The result of the discussion in the tent was to shoot all the captives to stop the killing of all peaceful residents.

  The shooting was executed on March 10, and the blood stained the Nile. On March 18, when Napoleon came to Aker, he sent an emissary to let the guard surrender. The guard chopped off the head of the messenger and hung it on the city gate.

The fatigue and lack of water in the desert march caused the soldiers to complain. They yelled at the riders. Most of these people were scholars. When the soldiers were at war, they dig out archaeology and those "strange things" in the ruins of these ancient cities. It was found there.

  Eugène is a close friend of Napoleon. He participated in a lot of **** things, including suppressing the Cairo riots, but Napoleon did not let him touch those things.

  But young people can't help but curiosity. Eugene took an opportunity and gave a box of candy to a "friend" and asked him something.

  The ancient Egyptians used unique symbolic methods to communicate. Buildings or objects also have symbolic significance. Many people are familiar with the Anka symbolizing the cross of life. There are souvenirs for sale in the British Museum and the Louvre. At the same time, this symbol represents women.

  The commonly known male symbol is an arrow on the circle. The image is derived from the Roman **** Mars, representing shields and weapons. The Egyptian male symbol is a pillar of virtue. This kind of pillar can be understood as an abstract spine, a symbol of stability, and also linked to Osiris.

  Anubis is the guardian of the soul, responsible for guiding the dead to the underworld and helping people make mummies. Osiris is not only the king of the underworld, but also the **** of resurrection, rain and plants, the giver of civilization and the judge of eternal life.

  He was finally buried in the city of Abydos. Scholars at the time believed that they had found the ancient city where Osiris was buried. The evidence was what the scholars found in the city and the rain outside.

  Eu Ren didn't believe this very much. Later, Jaffa was breached and the Black Death began to spread. He didn't believe it either.

  On May 20th, Saint-Jean-Acre was breached. Napoleon has never failed so far. He has been victorious. If the supplies were cut off, the ammunition was low, and the food was low, the French would not force the city to attack the city.

  Napoleon retreated first that evening, and all camels, horses, and donkeys were given to the wounded and sick. At that time, the soldiers had already paid tribute to Napoleon with Roman salutes.

After the horses were handed over, the heavy artillery could not be pulled. They were thrown into the quicksand of Tantora, and a small amount was left for more important purposes.

  On May 22, they came to the ruins of Caesars City. At dawn, someone hid in the bushes and shot Napoleon while riding a horse. They almost hit the head, and they found the assassin without much trouble.

  Many of the people who guarded the city of Saint-Ac were Albanians. They were all sharpshooters. It was them who hit the five-foot-three-inch shorty hat during the battle of Saint-Jean-Ac.

But because Napoleon treated the Albanian refugees graciously, the assassin was the Proxian. Originally, he was going to be shot on the spot. Four soldiers pushed him to the shore. When he was near the water, all four guns could not be fired. The assassin took advantage of it. With this opportunity to jump into the sea, at this time, firing the gun would be extremely smooth, but none of the bullets fired by the whole army hit, but Napoleon remembered this guy, so Kleber should not forget to find him.

Eugène had seen that Napoleon Bonaparte riding on a horse seemed to be lucky. Even if the bullet hit the dirt around his mount’s legs, it would not hit him. His gray coat was already very famous. At that time, the shooter estimated that he was aiming at Napoleon, but killed the colonel five feet seven inches behind him.

Eugene has been a little suspicious since the incident with the assassin. They returned to Cairo on June 14 and they saw a mirage when they were passing through the desert. Although humans can tolerate thirst, beasts cannot. The tired horses rushed forward regardless of the master's orders. Those phantoms, but it didn't take long for the freshwater lake to become a salt-alkali lake, and the horses that drank the salt water died of thirst.

  If it weren’t for the caravan passing by, their small team would have to “simplify” some people. Napoleon would definitely be able to get out of the desert, but not the others.

  Eu Ren saw something in that sea city hall, but he did not see clearly, and later he was busy entering the city and forgot.

  There were 12,000 people who left Cairo at that time, and only half of the expeditionary army came back alive. Napoleon pretended to be prisoners to make up the number and pretended to enter the city with great momentum.

In addition, he also issued some deceitful reports. After the problems of the living were solved, Napoleon took the scholars to the Pyramid on July 14. He stopped in this country of the dead for three or four days. But he didn't enter the pyramid. He led the living to hunt down Muradbay. When the busy side was over, the people who entered the pyramid also came out. Those who had entered told Napoleon that they hadn't seen anything.

On July 15, when they were on a horse-riding walk to Alexandria, an Arab envoy brought news of Marmon that the Turks had landed in Abukir under the protection of the British army. On July 16, Napoleon mounted his horse and rushed to Alexandria. He went to Rosetta before the port, where Marmont was already waiting for him.

   "That city is not the city of Abydos." Eugene said calmly, "In 1857, the real city of Abydos was discovered, and it was still in Egypt."

  Severus did not ask.

  He felt that Eugene seemed to need to slow down, even though he was dead.
