Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3318 White and Lucky Star (4)

From Georgiana's office, you can see Milan Cathedral.

Palazzo Marino is actually not far from Milan Cathedral. It is just across a bustling commercial street. The cafe where the Dalmatian literary school gathers should be nearby.

At this time, she was completely in no mood to look at the map. Although she had already guessed it when she appeared in St. Cloud, hearing it from Mu La still made her feel very depressed.

After Napoleon went to Egypt, the Directory fought many battles, but the results were very unsatisfactory. He read the news in the newspaper, and then returned to Paris with other Brumaire Party members.

However, he did not launch a coup immediately after returning. He also made preparations for a period of time. Chiconyala should have met him during this time.

Prior to this, Georgiana had lived with the Lyonnais for some time, and they were familiar with the Genoese. There was a Genoese diplomat. At that time, Genoa was afraid of both Austrian pressure and the French Republic, so the aristocratic oligarchs advocated "neutrality", but the diplomat advocated pro-France because he began to believe that the world had entered a new era. In this era, interests are no longer determined by the ruling party, but by national interests. Only alliances with neighboring republics can form an effective defense.

He did not find the Jacobins who were in power at the time, but found Captain Bonaparte, a rising star who had just emerged from the Battle of Toulon. He was still in Nice at the time. Before that, Napoleon had carried out a mission of Robespierre. An assessment of Genoa's defense. This was despite the fact that the French had just invaded Liguria and war debts were snowballing in Genoa.

He was very worried that Genoa would be sacrificed in future wars, so he formed an alliance with Bonaparte on the condition that they would not send troops but provide supplies. After the Genoese nobles were overthrown, he remained the plenipotentiary ambassador to France.

Massena used high-pressure measures to maintain order in the city during the siege of Genoa, but he was a man who dared to rob even the Pantheon in Rome. Later, the Battle of Marengo ended, but the diplomat was sent to Vienna, Austria, to serve as the plenipotentiary ambassador of Genoa.

Not all diplomats are like Talleyrand. Champoni, who served as the French ambassador in Vienna, had a very difficult time. General Andre, who served as the British ambassador, also had a deputy, Count Seguy. The old aristocracy was saved by Napoleon after the Ming Dynasty failed.

He pays great attention to etiquette. I heard that he is responsible for the internal affairs of the embassy. If there are exiles who come to seek help, he will also receive them.

The timing of this incident was very clever. Melchi had a deputy named Serberoni. He was the former Austrian governor in Milan and was later appointed as the chief police chief of Milan. He was also the on-site commander of the city militia. However, he died last year. Now, the person who took over his job was called Federer. He liked to visit the salon of a female dancer named Theresa. This female dancer also performed in Vienna. Anyway, because of her relationship with the police chief, she was in both Milan and Vienna. Stand firm.

The Directory used to send a sum of money to Italian exiles, who were not only the old aristocrats but also the Jacobins in exile. Federer was said to have pocketed the money, and the newspapers reported this.

In addition to his role as a justice of the peace, Magenta is also the treasurer of the province of Ba Ba. Although British magistrates also collect taxes, they do not care about finances.

There are two parties in the Shannan Republic. One is the "Hungry Party". They advocate the use of mining to restore the economy, so they pay special attention to mineral veins, hoping to use this to drive other industrial resources and build a road network.

The other is Magenta's party. They hope to fully utilize the transport capacity of the Po River. The other is the recovery of the country's industry. As the financial officer of the Lower Po Province, Magenta is naturally concerned about Piedmont.

Georgiana didn't know how an infantry captain knew this. After all, Napoleon himself relied on the Robespierre brothers in the early days.

Before leaving, he said that he would not invest a penny in Italy, which meant that no matter whether it was building bridges, paving roads, or doing anything else, don't expect France to help.

List believed that the railway system and customs were an alliance. Maria Theresa also formed a customs union in Germany, but this alliance was limited to a limited area and did not cover the entire Holy Roman Empire.

If everyone wanted to make a fortune, Naples would grow cotton and provide it to Piedmont. Everyone would hit it off immediately, and Georgiana, the talent for road construction, would also be found. It seemed easy.

First of all, the Jacobins in Italy should be divided into two camps, the north and the south. The northern Jacobins have two newspapers in Pavia. They often cause fierce political debates, call for "the awakening of the national military spirit", and criticize Clergy, they even called for the restoration of the Colosseum.

In 1797, Magenta, as the police chief of Ticino, seized them. Federer also expressed that he did not support them and that he maintained order.

But compared to the Jacobins in the south, those in the north at least provided some progress for freedom and equality. The main thing in the south was to collect the real estate and property in the name of the king's supporters and the courtiers who fled to Sicily. There once existed a republic of Parthenope in Naples. This place used to be the name of the Greek colony that gave Naples a week.

The republic was only established for a year, but they enacted a property confiscation act. They also gave Naples a constitution, but this constitution was completely abstract and ignored local customs and traditions. The revolution had no local support and France was considered an occupation. country.

Soon there was rebellion in Sicily, as well as in other southern villages, where Francophiles and anti-Churchists were doomed. By this time, the French garrison in Italy had been greatly reduced, and it seemed as if a peasant uprising was about to sweep the entire Italian peninsula.

Nelson then came to Naples and met Lady Hamilton, the wife of the Naples ambassador. At that time, Nelson and the British fleet acted as mediators to prevent a group composed of fishermen, craftsmen and farmers from continuing to attack the Jacobins in the fortress. He promised the Jacobins an honorable departure if they surrendered, but upon their surrender Nelson immediately arrested them and shot and hanged dozens of them.

What's more, after the Peace of Amiens was signed, the King of Naples returned.

Just now, Mullah mentioned Madame de Staël, and now Georgiana can’t figure out whether Mullah said it casually or reminded her that Napoleon gave the Italian constitution, and he could also give another one. Georgiana likes Sieye very much. The abrogated constitution concerning a constitutional monarchy in war and peace.

But now that she had been expelled from Paris like Madame de Staël, why should she intervene? Even though the Shannan Republic now looks like a pseudo-regime.

While she was depressed, there was another knock on the door, and Mr. Martin came in with someone.

"This is Mr. Fredinano, the head of Orionda Import and Export Company, a famous banker in Lombardy." Mr. Martin introduced enthusiastically, as if he didn't care at all that Georgiana broke the appointment and did not go to Italy. Afternoon tea at the embassy.

Georgiana has heard about this Orionda Import and Export Company for a long time. With the support of Queen Maria Theresa, they have monopolized the right of way of a highway and participated in the construction of the highway. They often run land transportation. Mr. Martin has been working with them for many years.

When Aldini was governor, there was a thief who specialized in stealing churches. He captured him for more than ten years. After the world was in chaos, and gangs of thieves and deserters were roaming everywhere, so much so that transportation lines were cut off, Mr. Martin took action personally.

In short, Mr. Martin still had to give her face, although she was not in the mood to talk about road construction now.

I heard that the British judicial summons writ will say, "From the date this writ is served, no matter what you are doing, you will be put down immediately to the court for trial. If you do not do it, you will be punished."

She wished she could send a similar letter to a wizard, otherwise why wouldn't he come to her?
