Make France Great Again Chapter 148

In the following days, Jerome Bonaparte visited Tours "History" accompanied by de Renal, and at the strong invitation of de Renal, Jerome Bonaparte participated in several games A dinner hosted by the prestigious bourgeois of Tours.

At the dinner party on September 7th, De Renal and the Bourgeois brought Jerome Bonaparte to a guest room, and he took out a "gift" that Jerome Bonaparte did not expect. "—a title deed to Clorusburg.

"Your Excellency, this is the heart of all the people of Tours for you!" De Rênal said to Jerome Bonaparte with a sincere expression.

Jerome Bonaparte showed a touch of surprise, and he immediately said "righteously": "No! As the president, how can I take bribes from others?"

Mayor de Reine said plausibly: "Your Excellency. This is not a bribe, but a gift from the people of Tours for your patriotism!"

"That won't work either!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to reject De Renal: "Please tell the people of Tours that I am very grateful for their support for me, but I really can't accept such an expensive gift!"

"If you don't accept it, then the sincerity of the people of Tours will definitely suffer." Mayor de Reine insisted that Jerome Bonaparte accept the gift.

Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte and De Renal were at a stalemate, the door of the guest room was suddenly knocked, and Jerome Bonaparte, De Renal and others looked at the door of the guest room at the same time.

A bourgeois quickly opened the door, and found that the visitor outside the door was Colonel Conrobert, who was in charge of the safety of Jerome Bonaparte.

Looking at the anxious Conrobert, Jerome Bonaparte had a hunch that something big must happen, otherwise, Conrobert would not suddenly break in at this time.

"Conrobert, what happened?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Conrobert.

"Your Excellency!" Conrobert hurried to Jerome Bonaparte's side and whispered, leaning in front of Jerome Bonaparte and saying, "Count Persini has received two letters, one A letter from Württemberg, a letter from Paris, the Count said there was something important in it, so call me to inform you!"

Letter from Württemberg?

Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to realize that his cheap uncle was not the current King of Württemberg (William Frederick Karl, known as Karl I).

It's just that since the death of his "mother", his cheap uncle has been unwilling to see their family.

So the old Prince Jerome Bonaparte could only take Jerome Bonaparte and his sister Mathilde to live in the Apennine region for a long time.

Speaking of which, my family hadn't had contact with Uncle Cheap for a long time.

Now that Uncle Cheap has taken the initiative to write a letter to him, Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that it will never be a simple rhetoric.

"Got it!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Conrobert, then showed an apologetic expression to De Renal as he waited to say goodbye, "I have important news in Paris waiting for me to handle, everyone, please forgive me. !"

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte turned and left together with Conrobert, leaving only De Renal and the others in the guest room.

Looking at the title deed of Clolus Castle in his hand, De Renal sighed.

"Mr. Mayor, this title deed!" Bourgeois beside De Renal whispered.

"Send!" De Renal responded briefly.

"But Your Excellency the President, don't want our gift!" Another Bourgeois said to De Renal.

"That's because our method is wrong!" Mayor de Renal thought of a method that could not only preserve the president's integrity, but also make the president acceptable to them: "We can let Mr. President "buy" it what!"

"Buy?" A few Bourgeois instantly understood what Mayor De Reine meant, and they clapped their hands and said, "That's right! The president can "buy" it!"

On the other hand, Jérôme Bonaparte and Conrobert, who had gone out to take a carriage, quickly arrived at the hotel.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had just entered the hotel, was invited into the bedroom by Persini, who was approaching.

"Persini, what happened over there in Paris?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Persini.

Pessini hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Paris side said that both the Prussian ambassador and the Austrian ambassador want to meet you!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte's expression was even more bizarre. He never imagined that he would be unanimously welcomed by the ambassadors of the two countries.

There must be something wrong on the German side!

Jerome Bonaparte, who couldn't remember what happened in Prussia and Austria during this time period, asked again: "Did Paris say what happened in Germany?"

"This letter from Paris!" Persini handed the letter from Paris to Jerome Bonaparte.

After reading the letterhead, Jerome Bonaparte realized what happened in Germany.

Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and said to Pessini: "It seems that the ministers of Prussia and Austria are seeking our support! The Hesse issue is likely to become their fuse!"

Immediately, Jerome Bonaparte showed a schadenfreude expression and said, "Maybe, this time next year, the two countries will face each other because of the Hessian issue!"

After reading the letter from Paris, Jerome Bonaparte realized that the war between Prussia and Austria because of the Hesse-Kassel Principality had already begun.

As for why Prussia and Austria fought in the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel, we have to start before the first great revolution.

The vigorous revolution ignited the consciousness of civil rights of the entire German people, and at the same time, the Napoleon Code and the Declaration of Human Rights, the most troublesome German princes, were sent to the Germans.

This made the German princes after the overthrow of the Napoleon Empire horrified to discover that the originally docile subjects became less docile after being subjected to the Declaration of Human Rights and the Napoleon Code. .

Among them, the resistance of the subjects of the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel was the most intense.

The citizens of the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel recalled their old and new hatred with the Count of Hesse-Kassel.

[During the American Revolutionary War, Count Ludwig II of Hesse-Cassel, in order to help his nephew George III suppress the American independence movement, and by the way to earn pounds. He resolutely leased his 30,000 people to Britain as mercenaries. This resulted in 12.5% ​​of the British army

The army was composed of Hessian Kassel mercenaries. When suppressing the thirteen states in North America, Hesse Cassel also suffered heavy casualties, and many mercenaries died in other places. The most important thing is that Ludwig II also withheld pensions that should have belonged to the dead soldiers. 】

In 1830, the Marquis of Hesse-Kassel was also greatly encouraged by the overthrow of the reactionary Bourbon dynasty in neighboring France. Parliament had to be called.

On January 5, 1831, a new constitution was born, suited to a particularly radical age at the time. The pioneers of the parliamentary system were nominated by electors as cabinet ministers. He miscalculated his position in the public and allowed his mistress, the Countess Reichenbach-Leissonitz, to return to Kassel, where riots broke out again on 11 January. Wilhelm II was forced to flee Kassel and settled in Hanau with Philips Ruhe and Wilhelm Bader.

Since the de facto abdication of William II, the power of the elector has been limited.

This revolution gave confidence to the subjects of the Marquis of Hesse-Kassel.

In 1848, the subjects of the Duchy of Hesse-Cassel, who had endured Frederick William I for 18 years, acted again. They used the power of the Great Revolution to force Frederick William I to promulgate a more liberal document than in 1831. In view of the fact that the Austrian Empire is still in a stage of self-defense, and the parliament of the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel is actively courting the Kingdom of Prussia, Radowitz, the liberal ruler of the Kingdom of Prussia, chose to support Hesse-Kassel kingdom.

Frederick William I, who was not supported by Austria, had to succumb to the Prussian threat behind the parliament and the parliament, and a more liberal constitution was promulgated.

[PS: It is ridiculous that Frederick William I did not officially ascend the throne until 1847. 】

The time lasted for about a year, until August of this year, with the help of the bayonet of the Russian Empire, while completely destroying Hungary, the Austrian Empire planned to return to the German region.

The old German Confederation has been dissolved, and there is no place for Austria in the newly established "Three Kings Alliance". Of course, the Austrian Empire also disdains to act within the framework of Prussia.

The Prussian King Frederick William IV's plan for the German Union to exclude Austria is about to come true.

If the Austrian Empire did not act, they would be kicked out of Germany.

It happened that the Elector of Hesse-Kassel asked for help at this time~www.mtlnovel.com~ This gave Felix Schwarzenberg an excuse to use Hesse as a breakthrough to bring down the "Three Kings Alliance" , let some people in the Three Kings Alliance know what is called the return of the king.

Hesse will be the main venue for Austria and Prussia for the next two years.

"By the way, where is the letter from Württemberg?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pesini again.

"Your Majesty, here!" Pesini handed the unopened letter to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte opened the envelope, which was filled with dense German words.

If the predecessor was not proficient in German, Jerome Bonaparte would be very happy.

The contents of the letterhead were as expected by Jerome Bonaparte.

In addition to a lot of old remarks, the core content is to hope that Jerome Bonaparte can use the advantages of the French Republic to make peace between Prussia and Austria.
