Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2644 Wind and Flowers (23)

   Chapter 2644 Wind and Flowers (twenty-three)

  When the Glorious Revolution took place in England, although the United Kingdom gradually changed from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, but unlike the French Revolution, the alliances, treaties and dispute settlement mechanisms between the United Kingdom and the European monarchies were as usual. France's nascent constitutional monarchy denied all principles and precedents and declared that it would handle international relations as it would domestic affairs, which inevitably intensified friction between France and European monarchical courts.

  The news that Louis XVI tried to flee in 1791 and was hunted back soon spread throughout Europe. This news not only shook the foundations of the entire country, but also meant that once the king escaped successfully, a civil war with foreign intervention was inevitable. This all happened in the Netherlands in 1787. The difference is that William V was driven out of the Netherlands. His Prussian wife flirted all the way to find the regent to support William V, but was persuaded to return by volunteers from South Holland. Her brother, the King of Prussia, used this as an excuse to launch an invasion that eventually led to the collapse of the patriotic cause in the Netherlands.

In the entire German-speaking world, before the Great Revolution, they once supported the "reasonable cause". Before the 1980s, the Enlightenment movement was mainly at the "moderate" level. Frederick the Great himself also liked the French Enlightenment thinkers and even invited Voltaire to come his court.

The departure of the king made the situation deteriorate rapidly, and some factions in France that were still vague and neutral have chosen their own positions. The court and themselves take back everything that was there.

There are many French people who believe that war with Austria, Prussia and the Rhine states is inevitable and likely to happen. The elector of Mainz abandoned the original enlightened reform and denied the Enlightenment, Cologne and Terry. The archbishops of Ernest both imitated the electors of Mainz, and housed thousands of noble exiles in their own territories.

  The French Legislative Assembly issued an ultimatum in November 1791, asking the electors to expel all exiles and the troops that the exiled princes had gathered on their territory by January 15, 1792. In December 1791, the Vienna court responded by threatening war and demanding the immediate withdrawal of the ultimatum from France.

   was followed by Berlin, The Hague, Rome, Turin, Naples and Madrid, all with similar responses. Then the wind in French politics shifted from domestic affairs to the wisdom of going to war with other countries.

   At this time, Louis XVI's position became extremely difficult. Should he support the National Assembly's request for war, or obstruct the war to achieve the purpose of allowing foreign powers to interfere?

  Louis XVI finally chose to go to war, even dismissed the Phillant ministers who obstructed him, and recalled Roland and Clavier of the republican faction.

   The signing of the "Amiens Contract" with the United Kingdom brought Napoleon a great political dividend. After all, "the world is at peace", and someone carved an "Angel of Peace" sculpture for him on the National Day.

He canceled the conscription in 1802, and limited the conditions of conscription. In addition to the conditions of exemption from military service announced by Belgium, the elderly over 71 years old who need to be supported by their sons, the only son of widows, and all family dependants are exempted and do not need to be filled. Because of the "disparity" caused by the Santo Domingo expedition.

These are "grass stories", but they are spread with nose and eyes, so Napoleon seems to be really peace-loving, he forced Prussia to state his position on the Hamburg issue and what Aachen did seems not to start a war, but to Get justice for yourself?

  If anyone really believes in this evil, no one can help you.

   First of all, we must distinguish between two kinds of people, one is a well-educated young man, who may have gone to seminary, teacher training, and university for education, and the other is peasant and casual laborer. A decent bed, a set of clothes, a good pair of shoes, a guaranteed daily supply of bread, and regular meat are enough for the latter, but not enough for the former.

  Georgianna has seen Napoleon's textbooks, and calculus alone gives her a headache, which is necessary for calculating ballistics, and these require young people with good education.

  The other is the ability to travel long distances and to resist bad weather. These require farmers and casual laborers. They are strong and strong, and because of poverty, they have become accustomed to material poverty and hard work. For the elderly who still need support from their sons until they are 71 years old, they are often not rich. He either cannot pay the high fees for his son's education, so he can only work as a farmer and casual worker, or he can't afford to support his son if he pays tuition fees. Exempting these people from military service is not only a great benefit to the poor, but also means that future soldiers will be saved.

   The swearing, rude orders, cauldrons and bread rationed by the barracks were prepared for those student soldiers who enlisted as registered volunteers and felt that life in the army was fresh.

   Napoleon gave the donkey to the scholar when he was in Egypt. For the French army, which lacked horses, the long journey was normal, but for the scholar it was unbearable. It is impossible to make them like everyone else through intense training, just like asking ordinary soldiers to read calculus, which to them is like a book.

   These student soldiers were mixed with ordinary peasants, on the condition that they had to serve ten years, or even for a lifetime. They expanded their enrollment, corresponding to the expansion of higher education institutions, and outstanding students from all over the country gathered in Paris. Substitutes were also allowed to be used if they could not stand the hardships of war, while those deemed useful to the country continued to work and study while they became soldiers.

This means that even if the student's father is a poor ghost, the student can obtain state subsidies to continue their studies in this way. Although there is no salary, they will not pay for food, clothing and housing in the army, as long as they don't go to those flamboyant places, one year. Also save some money.

   Come to think of it, who would go to Palazzo Ronial in an army uniform and what does a gendarmerie do?

  As food prices fluctuated due to the reduction of grain production in the Baltic Sea, more labor was needed to increase grain production, the value of conscripting a peasant into the army was not as high as that produced by his farming at home.

   For those students who don't know what their future will be after graduation, the army gives them a sense of belonging, at least they can live without worry, and they don't have to be instigated by some minded people.

  If the talent is deprived when it is in its prime, it will wither like a plant, so the strength of the people will be weakened, and then the strength of the country will be affected.

  A soldier in his prime, if he does not aspire to be a colonel or a lieutenant general, his limited perspective will hinder his imagination, and his ambition will be in vain.

  The charity tax introduced by Georgiana in Belgium was of course resisted. This money was indeed used to support war orphans and other war victims, but for bachelors, this money they were unwilling to pay. Those war orphans are not his children, why should he raise other people's children?

  Who doesn't want to have a romantic love at a prosperous age?

  Who doesn't want to have fun when there are lots of people?

  How many years is the most prosperous age in your life?

   When Pomona was living in his apartment in South Kensington, he saw an ambulance coming from the building next door, and a Middle Eastern prince in his 30s died suddenly.

  There are many young widows in the Netherlands, rich and free, and few people do not envy them.

  I perceive a beat, step by step, and every sound. What am I perceiving?

   "So, I had a bad idea?" Georgiana asked Raggett.

  Raggert shook his head, "I don't know, ma'am, the only thing I know is that your guardian can't bear the pressure around him."

   She recalled.

   "You mean..."

   "Ireland is only a small country, I suggest you change to a stronger country." Raggett interrupted her.

   "Like?" asked Georgiana.

  Laggett smiled and shook his head, "This is not something that the Netherlands can participate in. I just suggest it. It is up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not."

   "Who would have thought that my guardian would turn into such a complicated matter." She said with a smile, rang the bell, and soon Margaret came in.

   "Please bring us two beers, honey," said Georgiana.

   "Yes, ma'am," said Margaret, and left the room.

   "You didn't ask me what I wanted to drink, ma'am," said Raggett.

   "Oh, do you want to drink red wine?" Georgiana smiled and said, "I thought you were Dutch."

   "I would say, there are thousands of beers to choose from, and maybe you'll love one of them over butterbeer," Laggett said with a smile.

   If it had been a few days earlier, she would have agreed.

   But she just diverted the topic and continued "chatting".
