King's Landing in France

An Ning, who successfully tied with the ancient Greek writers, said, "Well, you can give it a try."

So that night, Napoleon sent a long letter to his father.

A few weeks later a reply came from Napoleon's father, Carlo Bonaparte.

The next morning after receiving the reply letter, An Ning ran into Napoleon on the way to school. The little man looked a little sad, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Napoleon: "Father let me stay in Brienne because we had no money - exactly as we predicted chances before."

An Ning smiled: "Congratulations, you can spend more time with your favorite Plutarch."

Napoleon shook his head: "I have read "The Heroes of Greece and Rome" several times, and I can even recite some passages in it."

"Then you can try watching "Spartacus"...uh..."

An Ning suddenly remembered that the novel version of "Spartacus" was written by an Italian in the 19th century, and it hasn't been born yet.

Napoleon frowned: "Spartacus? Is it the rebellious slave? What's so good about a slave?"

An Ning replied: "He is an oppressed class just like us. I am a commoner, and I am ridiculed by the nobles all day long. One should empathize with Spartacus' situation."

Napoleon was stunned: "Well, where can I see the detailed story of this slave?"

An Ning was silent. At this moment, Spartacus is still an ordinary historical figure, and Giovanio's masterpiece that portrayed him as a revolutionary in the ancient Roman era has not yet been born.

An Ning: "You can listen to me. I also listened to my grandfather telling me when I was young."

An Ning has not only read Giovannio's well-received novel, but also the famous director Kubrick's masterpiece, and later watched the American drama version.

However, the American TV version is somewhat inferior to Kubrick's works.

But it doesn't matter, now An Ning can tell Napoleon vividly about Spartask's life.

Napoleon frowned: "That's interesting, your grandfather was also a cobbler, how did he know about the slave uprising in Roman times?"

An Ning: "Many stories are passed down by word of mouth."

Napoleon shrugged and didn't go into it.

From this day on, in addition to talking to Napoleon about Rousseau, Montesquieu and Voltaire, An Ning would also tell him about the Spartacus uprising.

It was only then that An Ning realized that he had a bit of talent as a storyteller. In this era, he could take a lute and go to a tavern to be a bard, and in this day and age, he could be a taxi driver.

The days went by so uneventfully, and An Ning's life at the Brienne Military Academy entered its third year.

This year the instructors began to teach the cadets how to build fortifications and handle explosives.

In this era, there is a special branch called the Grenadier, which is generally chosen to be tall and strong soldiers, because they want to throw bombs as heavy as a small shot put on the enemy's head.

Because of this, grenadiers are generally not weak in hand-to-hand combat, and they have to undertake ritual tasks from time to time.

The Briena Military Academy didn't know which graduates would be assigned to lead grenadier units, so they taught everyone how to handle explosives and how to drop bombs.

During the bombardment class, Napoleon was laughed at by the nobles again, because he was short, and it was impossible for him to be selected for the grenadier unit.

The stubborn Napoleon threw the unlit bomb as far as the "French trash", and strained his arm for this.

For a few days after that Napoleon grinned as long as he used his dominant hand, and finally had to try to hold a pen with his right hand like a normal person.

An Ning joked, "This way you look a lot more normal."

If someone else had ridiculed him like this, Napoleon would have yelled at him long ago, but there was no problem with An Ning saying that, and the Corsican boy just smiled.

In the third year, there was another change. The Brienne Military Academy divided the large garden of the school into pieces and distributed them to the cadets to take care of them.

An Ning asked the instructor in charge, asking what kind of quality this is for cultivating the students.

As a result, the instructor in charge replied: The school wanted to save money on hiring gardeners, so it was handed over to the students.

The instructor in charge will rate everyone's gardens every week, and those who don't take care of them will be locked up.

An Ning didn't really want to do gardening work, so she wanted to leave the work to Fanny. As a result, Fanny came to the school to take care of the garden on the first day, but the principal bumped into her.

So An Ning received a good training.

Later, Napoleon said that An Ning didn't want to do gardening work, so he would leave it to him. It just so happened that the area that An Ning was allocated was right next to Napoleon's area.

So since then, Napoleon can be seen tending the garden from time to time in the school garden, and he will read in the garden after finishing his work.

Anyone who tried to approach this small world would be driven away by Napoleon brandishing a hoe.

Another year passed, and the 14-year-old Napoleon had caught up to everyone's height—although he was still a little short, but everyone gradually stopped using the pejorative name dwarf.

At noon on a holiday, Napoleon suddenly found peace: "Hey, Andy, are you free at noon?"

An Ning: "Why, do you want to hear stories again?"

Recently, An Ning began to tell Napoleon about "The Legend of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness".

"No, it's my brother Joseph, who wrote to me saying that after graduation from the seminary he doesn't intend to be a priest, but to join the army."

An Ning said "Oh". He remembered that this incident was also recorded in Napoleon's biography. At that time, Napoleon wrote a letter to criticize Joseph.

So An Ning got the bottom line: "What do you think? What kind of person is your brother Joseph?"

Napoleon curled his lips: "He is a flirtatious guy. He can be a good garrison officer. I mean, the kind of air force that is not useful. He is handsome and humorous. He can be like a fish in water in social situations. It's a joke, but he will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield."

An Ning nodded: "There is no room for flirty guys on the battlefield."

"In addition, he can get a good salary as a priest. We need this salary now. You know, Andy, my family is very poor, and only a little salary from my father's management of the Wang Family Nursery supports the five of us.

"It's time for my two younger brothers to go to school, and my younger sister Paulina also needs to be educated. The king just let me and Joseph go to school for free. My younger brothers and sisters all need money to go to school."

An Ning: "Your sister Paulina can come to the Brienne Military Academy... just like those young ladies from noble families who have no money."

Napoleon looked at An Ning dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, I hope my sister can live like a normal girl."

An Ning: "But your family can't afford Paulina's dowry."

Napoleon was silent. He took a breath and stared at An Ning: "Sometimes you, Andy, are quite annoying."

"I'm just stating the facts." An Ning shrugged. Given his current relationship with Napoleon, it's okay to hate him occasionally.

Napoleon shook his head: "Speaking of Joseph, for the sake of his brothers and sisters, he should also become a priest, but now he tells me that he wants to become an officer. The salary of an officer is not as rich as that of a priest!"

An Ning: "The priest is the first rank after all."

"That's right! I can't even imagine what Joseph would look like as an officer. What branch could he go to? Artillery? However, artillery needs to be proficient in mathematics, and my brother is an idiot who doesn't understand mathematics at all. As for the Navy, my brother who is a big turnip , can you bear the monotonous sailing life? No, you can't!"

An Ning smiled and said, "Look, you have already made your own judgment, you don't need my advice at all."

Napoleon was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath: "Yes, I have made a decision. I think I just need an audience, and you are a good audience Andy."

An Ning: "Of course. If you have any troubles in the future, you can talk to me."

After saying this, An Ning could already imagine the scene where Napoleon, who will be the emperor of France in the future, came angrily to find him, slapped the table and complained, "Why are things in Spain always so bad?"

Chapter 048 at the end of briena

The fifth year of Briena Military Academy began with the defeat of France in the Seven Years War, which was 30 years late.

In this 30-year-late war, Prussia still won.

In the history that An Ning is familiar with, Prussia won because the Russian Czar Peter III was a German stick—no, it should be called a Prussian stick here.

Prussian Peter III took the initiative to seek peace with Prussia when the Russian army was superior, returned all the occupied land and turned to form an alliance with Prussia.

But in this era, Russia is already the Russia of Catherine II, and the Tsar of Pokemon died long ago.

As a result, the Prussian army actually defeated the Russian army.

An Ning thought, maybe it is because Prussia in this era has been ruled by the enlightened Frederick the Great for a long time, and its strength has become stronger.

In this way, after thinking about the outbreak of the Great Revolution a few years later, the situation in France will be dangerous.

After all, the army that intervened in the revolution for the first time was mainly Prussia and Austria. The Prussian army was the most ferocious. The army hit it head-on.

However, it is estimated that the time and space to interfere is not the weak and deceitful Prussian army brought by the Duke of Brunswick, but the elite Prussian army of Frederick the Great.

——Is the scene 150 years later going to reappear in the seventeenth century?Is France really going to start speaking German?

While An Ning was so worried, Napoleon beside him was talking eloquently: "The French are nothing to be afraid of. The Prussians can defeat them and make them bow their heads. Naturally, we Corsicans can do the same!"

An Ning freed herself from her worries, and glanced at Napoleon: "I have to remind you, I am also a Frenchman, and my motherland just lost the war and paid compensation."

In fact, An Ning has no sense of belonging to France. After all, the noble instructors who are in the old Paris flag often make things difficult for him when he is in school.

This strengthened his determination as a fencer.

But at this time, I still have to perform a little bit, otherwise it will be too heartless to watch.

Napoleon looked a little embarrassed: "Well, I got carried away and didn't think about it. Well, although you are French, you are very nice and my best friend. I... well, don't be too sad."

An Ning: "I'm not very sad, I just feel that France's financial situation is going to be ruined. It was originally a debt war, hoping to win Prussia to eat a big bite, but now it's all ruined. I guess it won't be long. The king is going to raise taxes."

The tax increase was rejected by the Supreme Court as inconsistent with tradition, and then the king was forced to convene the three-level parliament that had been interrupted for 160 years. As a result, the three-level parliament shouted that the third level is everything, and decided to turn France into a constitutional monarchy. constitution……

The curtain of the Great Revolution was thus opened...

Napoleon didn't think too much about it, he asked An Ning: "Maybe the king will invite the banker who was dismissed before, I remember Necker or something, and invite him back as Chancellor of the Exchequer?"

"There's an old saying in the East that says it's hard for a good woman to make a living without rice, and Necker can't make Leffle." An Ning replied.

Napoleon shrugged: "Then it can't be changed. What does this have to do with us? You and I are civilians and the other is a Corsican. We can laugh at the French king's plight."

"Napoleon, think about it, the king wants to increase taxes, and according to the French tradition, he needs to convene a three-level parliament. At this time, he gathers opinion leaders from all over the world to Paris. What will happen?"

Napoleon looked puzzled: "What will happen?"

An Ning pretended to be profound: "I miss Napoleon, I've told you so much."

Napoleon thought for a while: "Do you think that social conflicts will always erupt? But didn't you say before that natural disasters are needed to erupt?"

An Ning: "Yes, whether there is a natural disaster or not determines whether the eruption will be carried out in a relatively mild manner or in a relatively tragic and stormy manner."

And the French Revolution was just after the natural disaster.

In fact, this is also inevitable. The natural disasters throughout the year in 1788 also exacerbated the financial dilemma of the royal family.

Napoleon shrugged: "Well, although you are always right, but this time I can only say that I think what you said is too mysterious. If you are really right, you will become the leader of my life. most admired person."

--it is good!All I want is your worship!

Ok?

Napoleon actually worshiped someone other than Caesar?

Is there something wrong?

At this time Napoleon changed the subject: "My sister Paulina wrote to me, saying that she is going to study at the Brienne Military Academy like Miss Christina I told her in the letter."

An Ning: "You actually wrote him a letter about Christina?"

"Well, because I found that I don't have anything to talk about with my sister, I had to use Miss Christina to fill in the content of the letter, otherwise the letter is too short to show that I am not enthusiastic enough."

An Ning: "Then you regret it now, don't you? Your sister also came to learn from that Orleans girl."

Because Christina was the daughter of the Duke of Orleans, both Anning and Napoleon jokingly called her "the Maiden of Orleans" in private.

It just so happened that Christina also yearned for the Orleans girl in history, so she decided to join the army.

Napoleon looked a little unhappy: "Yes, I hope my sister can live a normal woman's life, after all, now Joseph is going to be a priest, and I'm about to graduate, our salary can greatly ease the family's financial difficulties.

"In the end, she came to imitate Miss Christina!"

An Ning smiled and said, "I think everyone's choice should be respected."

"When I persuaded Joseph to continue to be a priest, you didn't tell me to respect Joseph's choice."

"Uh... one size fits all. Or do you think your sister Paulina is not suitable for the army?"

At this time, An Ning's impression of Napoleon's sister Paulina comes from two aspects. One is the game "Battle Saintess", in which Paulina is a heroic, flat-chested and beautiful girl in a short skirt, commanding the line infantry The team gallops across the battlefield.

The other one is a series of videos of the game "kanshi" created by the UP master of station B, the "young magician". Free slaves in an alien wasteland.

Paulina in that series of videos is also very heroic.

Therefore, An Ning's impression of Paulina was completely misleading, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with Napoleon's sister joining the army.

Napoleon sighed: "My sister is very lively, like a tomboy. In terms of personality alone, maybe she is quite suitable for joining the army."

--look!Sure enough!

An Ning thought excitedly.

An Ning: "Then it's over..."
