Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 662 The Eternal City

  Before lunch time, the European special train drove slowly into the Gare de Lyon in Paris.

  Paris is a big city. There are only seven railway stations. It was already the capital of Frank in the 9th century.

But Paris at that time was a naturally formed city. Like most cities in Western Europe, people in the Middle Ages believed that bathing was immoral, and feces could be seen everywhere in the streets and squares, and there was a lack of drainage systems. Residents dumped their **** directly. on the street.

Such bad sanitary conditions are not only a hotbed for the outbreak of the plague, but also make the whole city smelly. The climate between the north and the south of France is very different. The north is always rainy. After being washed by the rain, the garbage will make the whole city smelly. The nobles did not want to solve the city's sanitation problems, but invented their preferences for perfume, so Paris, France became the perfume capital.

  Napoleon Panama likes retro, or hopes to build a unified Europe based on the model of the Roman Empire. He has carried out a large-scale transformation of Paris. As early as the time of Louis XIV, Paris began to construct large-scale construction projects. The Champs-Elysées, Luxembourg Palace, Princess Place, and Place de la Concorde, etc., these memorial buildings were linked by widened main roads and became the architectural art center of a district.

  Napoleon I reigned and built the star-shaped square and the Arc de Triomphe, and unified the width of the city streets. Napoleon III made another major plan for Paris. In addition to improving traffic and living conditions and developing commercial streets, he also attempted to build roads for artillery and horse teams to all corners of the city.

  On the map of Paris, there is a grand cross and two loops that run through the city. They constitute the basic skeleton of the city. From this point on, Paris has changed from a medieval city full of sewage to the current “Flower Capital”.

French wizards are mainly concentrated in southern France. Even though France is not large, there are still huge differences between North and South. Northern France loves butter, while South France loves olive oil. The French in the South live a lazy and enthusiastic Mediterranean life. The Northern France region is much more conservative, perhaps because of the influence of its neighbors, the British and Germans.

Philip is from Lyon, which is a southern city. The Parisians on the Lyon train station are not as happy as Philip’s hippy smiley face, and the people here walk and talk faster than the provincials, but even so, the pace of Paris is still higher than that of London. slow.

  British is the black tea culture, France and Italy are the coffee culture. When the train stops, the dining car is also restocked, and bags of coffee beans are carried on the car in the steam.

In addition, passengers from Turkey to Paris got off here. Pomona thought, maybe few people in this world would have the same opinion as her. Both Paris and Constantinople have undergone drastic changes due to the severe cold created by the volcano. .

  In 536 AD, the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian wanted to reunite the divided Roman empire. He also designed Constantinople like Paris.

  The Senate, the library, the racing circuit, the public bath, the now-famous Turkish bath is actually inextricably linked to the Roman bath.

   In 1453, the *** who loves cleaning took over Constantinople, and the Turkish bath became really popular.

  It can be seen from the remains of ancient Rome left in modern times that the Romans used water very well two thousand years ago, and the consumption of water in the baths was huge. The Romans used engineering technology to complete the art of water supply.

An easy life is easy to make people’s spirits decay. The Romans eventually fell. The nobles who were keen on banquets all the time became parasites. Commoners and slaves began to resist. Coupled with foreign invasions, the great Rome eventually became the ruins of today. The unified empire also fell apart.

Reunification of Europe is the dream of every "Augustus". Justinian was a diligent emperor. Many of the codes he wrote still have an important influence on European law, but his imperial dream is erupting with plague and volcanic ash. Was buried.

  Glare fights are considered barbaric. The former Colosseum has become a racing track. The Blue Party, which represents the ocean, and the Green Party, which represents the green, often clashed here.

At the 532 racing meeting, the lower levels of the two parties were dissatisfied with the officials' violent and exorbitant taxes and asked the emperor to remove the two violent officials Tribonian and John of Cappadocia. After being rejected, they erupted even more vigorously. In the "Nika Riot", people in the name of freedom burned many public buildings, including the Hagia Sophia and the Senate.

  Faced with the rioting people, Justinian almost escaped by boat. Theodora persuaded him to stay.

  Later, in order to suppress the riot, Justinian retrieved Belisariu from the front line. Together with the barbarian mercenaries, these elites blocked the gate of the racing circuit and slaughtered 40,000 ordinary civilians.

  Whether it is to build an army or build a city, money is needed. These money will not be scraped out of thin air. They all need taxes. Protesting against taxes is the reason why civilians continue to resist and riot.

More than a thousand years later, due to weather and volcanic ash caused by climatic problems, food production was reduced, Louis XIV’s money spent on fighting and building cities, and Louis XV’s extravagant squanderings, arrived at Louis XVI, and the civilians were facing famine. The nobles still enjoy luxury, serious social inequality makes the common people angry, but it will not rise to the degree of overthrowing the king and nobles.

  But the American War of Independence ignited the powder keg hidden in French society like sparks, and the Revolution finally broke out.

  Religion and law have lost their restraining effect, and the original social order has completely collapsed. Whether it is a noblewoman in the city or a peasant woman in the country, it is precarious.

Before Louis XVI fled in 1791, many people still supported the constitutional monarchy. If Louis XVI can insist on staying in Paris to support the constitution, France may follow the constitutional monarchy and gradually realize democracy like the United Kingdom.

  But on Easter, April 18, 1791, he went to a castle on the outskirts of Paris to celebrate Easter with priests who refused to swear to the constitution. He expressed his refusal to support the constitution by his actions.

  The Constituent Assembly requires priests to swear allegiance to the country, the law and the king, but the priests believe in God, and half of the clergy in the country refuse to take the oath.

After Louis XVI and the priests spent Easter, they were surrounded by a large group of citizens on the way back to the palace. This strengthened Louis XVI's determination to escape. Queen Mary secretly transported jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics out of Paris.

  If Mary can spend less time at parties and refreshments, and read more history, she should understand that running away at this time will not solve any problems. She should support Louis XVI staying in Paris like Theodora.

  But late at night on June 20, 1791, the royal family members slipped out of the palace through secret passages one by one after putting on makeup, and they fled all the way to the northeast.

On the morning of June 21st, news of the king’s escape spread in Paris. Louis XVI left a statement on the table announcing his break with the constitutionalists. A fleeing king lost all his prestige, a radical democrat. Asked for a trial to abolish the king, while the moderates wanted to maintain the throne of Louis XVI.

  At that time, there was no Murphy's law. If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, someone will definitely make this choice.

  If something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

  Queen Mary appeared to say that she made the wrong choice at a critical moment, not only causing the king to lose the crown, but also to lose her head.

  The rabbit is a very cute animal. However, it is flooded in Australia, which eventually led to the ecological destruction of Australia's native area, and the native species were replaced by foreign species.

  While experiencing the Great Revolution, the French had to face the invasion of foreign armed forces and avoid their own country being destroyed. The political situation was relatively stable until the end of the Thermidor coup and entered the period of safeguarding the achievements of the Great Revolution.

The so-called reign of terror was a radical method implemented from 1793 to 1994. At that time, the French had internal and external troubles. The domestic aristocracy opposed the revolution because the revolution deprived them of their privileges; the Catholic Church opposed the revolution because the revolution turned the priests into ordinary clergy. At the same time, the partisan struggle between the Girondists and the mountain factions was intensifying, and the people felt dissatisfied because the revolution did not realize the promise of social equality.

  There are wars on foreign borders, the domestic royalist party and the federalist rebellion and civil wars. In extraordinary times, the Jacobins used terrorist policies to suppress dissidents, and people in all of France were guillotined.

   Robespierre had pursued a girl when he was a lawyer. The girl was chased by another lawyer, who later became a member of the Girondists.

  When the Girondist faction was overthrown and the Jacobin faction gained power, Robespierre found the young couple and sent the girl’s husband to the guillotine.

  Robospierre said to the girl, "Have you seen it! You refused to marry me back then, and your husband is now guillotined. Do you regret it!?"

  This is the case for men, eager to learn a bitter lesson for the woman who dislikes the poor and loves the rich or rejects her for other reasons.

I don’t care when there is no opportunity, but I have such a dream all day long. Once their opportunity comes, they will ruin her happy life like Robespierre and let her understand what it means to regret. ".

How could a person like Robespierre have a sober woman to love? Of course, it is better to be a man like Napoleon who is single-minded no matter how arbitrarily Josephine is. In the end Napoleon became the Roman emperor, if he was not defeated. Waterloo, lost the aura of "God of War", he will continue to be.

  Constantinople no longer has its former glory, but the soul of Eastern Rome still exists in Russia. The emperor who unified Western Rome lost to the emperor of Eastern Rome.

  The patriotic plot of the French is not worse than that of the Chinese. Napoleon was the emperor of the Empire before his death. He implemented a policy of safeguarding the interests of the country and the people. He was supported by the French. When he abdicated, many French were reluctant to let him go. After Napoleon's death, he was buried in the Cathedral of the Army of the Honor of Paris. The number of people who admired him for hundreds of years is unknown. He was regarded as a national hero by France, even though he was a Corsican, not a Gaul.

  This is the same as Genghis Khan who is a Mongolian, and the Chinese just want him to be his own. Being a conqueror is definitely more pleasant than being a conquered object.

  The French saw that their territory still had the fruits of the revolution that they had finally obtained. They were stolen in this way of alien invasive creatures. Their irritation is conceivable, but who made them survive the outsiders.

  The fertility rate of wizards is lower than that of Muggles. If wizards can have a large population, why do they have to live such a shady underground life?

Albus Dumbledore has enough reasons to hate his ruined Muggles. He even became close lovers with Grindelwald. He supported Grindelwald at first, but he recognized a reality. They The dream, or the wizard’s ambition to rule over Muggles, cannot be realized.

  Muggles are just Muggles. They are not fools. There are confused minds among wizards, and there are clear-headed ones among Muggles.

  Although the world of boys is different from that of girls, there is still a place where they meet, especially at the critical moment of life and death. If you take a wrong step, you lose every game.

   "What are you doing?" Severus said drunkly in her ear. He wasn't actually drunk, he just enjoyed the comfort of the gentle country.

   "Thinking." Pomona said, looking at the Lyon station where people are coming and going. Now their clothes are all on and they look like decent people.

  Those werewolves who were pushed to a dead end by the Werewolf Act, as well as the fallen pure-blooded nobles who were robbed of everything, were not as decent as them.

The Girondists were once a revolutionary party. Although they were composed of the bourgeoisie and a few nobles, they were also opposed to the king, but with the soaring food prices, there were too many speculators, and civilian revolutionaries demanded that speculators be punished and the prices of necessities were limited. The Girondists ordered the suppression of civilians, and they have since become a counter-revolutionary party and overthrown by the Jacobins.

  The Duke of Vincent Pick was from the Gironde, and in order to survive, he even thought of using a hidden spell on his neck.

  Why can't he use the method of a wizard to let those who arrest him see what is really powerful?

   Although the magic is blooming in his body, the Duke is no longer a wizard.

  Just like Malfoy, that albino snake won't use wizard's methods to solve the problem, but now turn around and go back, will he throw himself into the net?

  She really needs to think about it.
