Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1695 The Secret Word of the Goddess (Forty)

  In the age of European medieval castles, strong walls were indispensable. The existing European castle ruins are mostly made of stones, and it is rare to see walls rammed with mud.

  Clay city walls are not uncommon in Asia, especially in areas lacking stone materials. Unless the cost is not considered when the Egyptians built the pyramids, the cost of transporting stone materials from a distance is too expensive.

  This will definitely consume manpower, material and financial resources, but people who live in the city without walls also have no sense of security, but at that time only important cities such as Jerusalem and Constantinople would build all-stone walls.

The prosperity of Paris is constantly attracting new threats, such as the Viking pirates and the pagans in the East. During the time of King Philip August, in order to defend the Arabs, France needed to expand its forces and also needed to strengthen the city defense. It is unrealistic to use all stones. At that time, the people at that time came up with a compromise method, mixing gravel and bricks into the city walls, and covering them with a layer of stone. It is actually not reliable, but no one knows, but at least it seems that the city walls are very strong. At that time, the Louvre was not a palace for displaying artworks, but a part of the city's defense system. In addition, there are pastures, farmland and vegetable gardens to ensure that food supplies can be maintained even when the city is surrounded.

  If the mud is too thin, the bricks will not stick to the wall if it is applied to the wall; if the bricks are not properly burned, it is also impossible to build a strong wall.

Napoleon himself was originally Italian, but after he abdicated, when he was imprisoned on the island of Elba, when chatting with British visitors, he said that Italy was lazy and weak, and the French were at least different from them during the Napoleonic era. the same.

  Anyone can go to the front line, but Victor Hugo can’t. He will do what only Victor Hugo can do.

  Napoleon is already on the front line. Napoleon Bonaparte is small and thin, like a cat in boots, not physically comparable to other soldiers in the legion, but the soldiers are willing to give up their lives to protect Napoleon’s safety.

  He found a sense of belonging in France, especially in the French army. This is like love. There is no feeling of unilateral giving. It requires two people to hit it off. Women disappointed him, but the army did not. He did not treat veterans as tools. The reason why he was buried in Les Invalides was because he often visited the soldiers who lived in Les Invalides, and his stepson Eugene was there. He was still taking care of the veterans after he abdicated and was imprisoned.

He defined his attributes as soldiers, so he knew the soldiers and what they needed. After Napoleon took the throne, he began to build a wall for defense, which also played a role during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. In 1874, the city wall was not demolished, it was strengthened instead. It was not until after the First World War in 1919 that the city wall had lost its function in the face of modern weapons of war, and people only demolished this city wall. This city wall not only became the final dividing line between the city and suburbs of Paris, but It is also a distribution center for antique and second-hand goods, the poor and the homeless.

  Poor people are unavoidable from petty thieves. If you steal something and sell money, you don’t need it. But sometimes the difference between a thief and a thief is not so clear. For example, a thief can steal the Mona Lisa in the Louvre even if he is brave. Sitting on Jinshan, but also to take legally.

The reconstruction of the Ottoman era is essentially the same as the British enclosure movement, except that the British enclosure occupied a large area of ​​land in the countryside, and the builders and banks who built high-end apartments selected the most beautiful locations in Paris, each with a weight of one. Quality is nothing more.

  After the house is big, each room will have its own function, such as study room, reception room and bedroom. The British aristocratic houses after the enclosing were bigger, and there were also cloakrooms and game halls. At that time, Parisians generally had only one bedroom, which had the functions of a study, cloakroom, and dining room. Some poor families also had kitchens and toilets. Even Londoners in high-end apartments have difficulty adapting to the crowded living environment in Paris.

  Although Malfoy is a disguised pure-blood, disguised Anglo-Saxon, his living habits are no different from the ancient pure-blood family. The Malfoy family did not buy any property in Paris. They had a winery in a wine-producing region in the French countryside.

  Although in ancient Rome, scholars such as Cicero once attributed both the Anglo-Saxons and Gauls to barbarians, there are still differences between the two nations.

  Anglo-Saxons are natural gamblers. They don't think about what they will do if they lose, but instinctively think "what if they win?".

Even if they have no chips in their hands, they will continue to gamble, but at this time they will tear through the disguise of civilization. They will use any insidious, cruel and cruel method. Anyway, they will bite the enemy until the last to see who is first. dead.

  Gauls are inherently arrogant. They do not engage in agricultural production, and they look down on farmers and advocate force. Some soldiers can't continue to live the life of the former village occlusion after rehabilitating and leaving the army. Even if they survive the plague and war by chance, the lives of civilians will overthrow them. The battlefield may still be a good home, at least not on the streets.

  If the Paris Commune announces the establishment of an urban republic, even if the "Versailles" do not block the roads, they will not be able to obtain supplies from the countryside and suburbs. France is not allowed to split. Hunger will make some hot-headed people wake up.

  Hugo’s diary wrote: an egg sells for two francs and seventy centimes, elephant meat forty francs per pound, and a bag of onions for 800 francs. Repairing all the broken glass in the Luohan Pavilion only cost 700 francs.

  Some people will starve to death, this is war.

  Will you become the next person to be starved to death? This is human nature.

  After eating human flesh, it is sure to be more ruddy than those who are starving. People trapped in the city look down on that kind of people, but they can’t find suitable food at that time. Should they eat or not?

There are many people who cannot adapt to the transition from peace to wartime. Other member states of the European Union handed over their troops to the United States and mercenaries. The French army has two components. One is the foreign legion, which is the main battle force of France. Some difficult tasks. The other is the national army. Before the Second World War, the biggest advantage was the ability to mobilize too many troops, but they surrendered as soon as the Maginot line broke. The fortifications that cost a lot of money to repair are now It is reduced to a mushroom cultivation base. If it weren't for blowing it up, it would cost a lot of money. Many people would want to tear it down.

  Since the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, they have resurrected the set that previously relied on mercenaries, and the new monarchy acquired by the armed forces of others will eventually be subject to those mercenaries. The emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Heraclius, was also a mercenary. After self-inspection that Dinny I intended to regain Western Rome, and the Eastern Roman Empire was greatly injured by the plague and civil riots, the mercenary dinar system has been integrated into the East. In the system of the Roman Empire. Heraclius easily won the crown, but what he faced was a mess. Later, he borrowed the military system of the Eastern Empire and set up a military district commander similar to the Jidu Envoy, which restored the stability of the empire in a short period of time. .

However, this kind of stability was temporary. At that time, the Tang Empire made a mutiny because of Youzhou Jiedi. The emperor left Chang'an in a panic and fled to the Bashu area. On the way, he passed Maweipo. The soldiers forced the emperor to kill his beloved concubine Yang. Yuhuan, they thought that as long as this woman died, their once wise "Yulongzi" who led them out of Wu Zetian's dark rule would return.

  Historically, it is inevitable that women have been treated as scapegoats, but they have one thing in common. Either Marie Antoinette or Yang Yuhuan will be involved in luxury, and then the crimes of "deficit" and "causing chaos" will be put on their heads.

It is useless for contemporary people to sympathize with them. This is a crime that has already been settled. Reversing the case for them will cause countless troubles. Some people who originally thought that the storm has passed will start to be frightened and afraid, and then do irrational things. Only the past becomes history. Only when the relevant parties are all dead will someone go to the old paper to search for it.

Louis XVI spent so much money and people to help the United States become independent, and finally ruined his own country. There is no trace left in history. The Americans did not regard him as the father of the country, and the American textbooks The founding father of the United States is George Washington, which is already well known.

  Similarly, the United States has stirred the Mediterranean and the Middle East into what they are now, and refugees will not swim across the Atlantic to reach them. What the Abbasid Empire failed to accomplish in the past is now done.

  Perhaps Catholicism is still the number one religion in France, but these Muhammad believers are more religious.

Refusing to believe in God is a Western value. People who believe in are ignorant. Let those who believe in abandon their beliefs and lead a "non-trivial" life like Westerners. Some people cannot do it, and too many people force others to accept their own. Opinions, thinking that they are right.

  Wishful thinking tried to change it and ate closed doors. It really didn’t feel good, but imagined that whose home was blown up by a missile would feel happy?

  Nicola Malfoy opened a hotel when the Black Death was prevalent, and it is said that he killed many Muggle tenants, but Nicola Malfoy was not punished.

  The Wizarding Council is not a religious inquisition, and it cannot be convicted by rumors and conjectures without evidence.

Muggle citizens who are dangerous to witches and little wizards are not a threat to wizards, but it depends on the circumstances. Duke Vincent de Tefler-Pique’s negligence of exercise and lack of vigilance allowed the United States. The Sweeper who came was caught and almost got his head chopped off on the guillotine.

  The "gang" can avoid fighting alone and have a mutual support. Severus and Lucius, who drank the compound soup and pretended to be Alessandro, were smoking cigarettes and waiting for people in the Atonement Chapel.

Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI were buried here. It was built according to the order of Louis XVIII. When the king and queen were chopped off their heads, their bodies were thrown into mass graves. This land was in 1802. It was bought by a royalist judge. He marked the place where the king and queen were buried. He set up a fence and two willow and cypress trees around. The bones of the two were dug out after the restoration of Louis XVIII. At that time, the two had become bones, and Marie Antoinette's body was still identified from the garter belt and lower jaw in the bones.

Their bones were moved to St. Nied’s Cathedral. The two of them were pretty good. People used to paint with strange materials, such as powder made from mummies or corpse oil. Jews gave corpses to them. In the habit of anointing oil, someone specially dug up the tombs of these Jews and sold the corpse oil to painters.

The body of Louis XIV is well preserved, and it does not emit a terrible smell like Louis XV. His heart was taken out and sold to the painter. The painter used Louis XIV's heart to rub it on the canvas. The painting is still in the Palace of Versailles.

Napoleon’s singularity, apart from his 20 years of no decayed body, and his strange living habits, people all want to sleep, he regained his energy after taking a bath, and he has a super memory for more than ten years. He still remembered the name of the soldier who had given him a piece of bread in the battle in Italy, and he even called out the opponent's name accurately.

  He is more like a monster than a superman.

  The key is that there was nothing strange about him when he was young, and he ate, drank, and slept like normal people.

  Either he had an adventure, or he was possessed by the devil.

  The two were chatting, and they saw a beam of lights coming from a distance. Not long after, a small van stopped in front of them.

  The car was not turned off, and a pair of glasses was about the same thickness as the bottom of a beer bottle. The young man in a plaid shirt poked his head out of the car window and looked at the two decently dressed.

  "The eagle spreads its wings." The young man said.

   "Sing triumphantly." Severus said with a smirk.

  "Where's the file?" the young man asked.

   "What document?" Lucius asked subconsciously.

  The young man immediately became alert.

   "I only tell you that no words will be recorded." Severus continued, "Whether it's paper or digital."

  "How do I trust you?" the young man asked.

   "How about this?" Severus said, raising his wand and floating a trash can.

  The young man didn't seem so surprised.

   "This is magic." Lucius said displeased.

   "Come on, I'm not a chick, magic is magic, what magic!" the young man said.

  Lucius turned his head and whispered in Severus’ ear, "Can I teach him a lesson?"

   "How about using the Curse?" Severus said.

   "That's a spell used by children." Lucius complained.

   "Trust me, it's not a kid's curse for Muggles." Severus said with a smile, then he turned and walked aside. It didn't take long before he heard a scream.
