Chapter 256 Napoleon Returns

Xijing——Royal Golf Course

Snapped---

A golden ball flew up and drew a beautiful arc in the sky.

Liu Peng was holding a wooden club and stood there. Next to him stood a bunch of palace maids and guards serving him. On his left, Yan Jun, who was also holding a club, was swinging continuously, but I can't swing it accurately every time.

"Haha - I'm talking about Yan Qing, you, the lion prime minister who dominates Europe, how come you can't even hit a ball well??"

"This is not okay. If this spreads out, I am afraid that outsiders will say that I, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, have no knowledge!!"

“Isn’t this the face of Diugu, the King of Han??”

Liu Peng stood in front of him with the club and teased Yan Jun beside him, his tone full of ridicule to Yan Jun.

"Your Majesty is mighty, but I am not as good as me -"

"If I had three-thirds of your Majesty's strength, I would not have gone through this life in vain."

Yan Jun swung his last empty shot and praised Liu Peng.

When Liu Peng heard this, he waved his hand and said immediately: "You probably didn't develop your mouth in Europe, right?"

"Tell me, how do you feel about Europe??"

Liu Peng casually asked Yan Jun about European affairs.

When Yan Jun heard this, he knew that Liu Peng wanted to ask him, and immediately replied: "Based on my visits in the past few months, I have basically drawn several conclusions."

"Take a few conclusions and talk about it??"

Liu Peng swung another shot and hit the ball directly to the hole. With one more shot, he could basically get into the hole.

Yan Jun took the tea sent by the palace maid, took a sip, and then said: "As I see it, among the European countries, Britain is the strongest, needless to say, after this. It is France, which is also the strongest in the world. Admittedly, there is nothing to question, but if you choose a third child, I can’t choose one.”

“How come you can’t choose??”

Liu Peng asked.

"The remaining European countries all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the Austrian Empire is full of domestic conflicts, Hungary, Croatia, and even several other local principalities are all seemingly inseparable. Once there is a change, I am afraid they will become a kingdom in the sand. The bunker will be shattered with one blow.”

"As for Tsarist Russia, it is so big that it is so big. However, it is located in Eastern Europe and is naturally located on the edge of Europe. If Western Europe, Central Europe, and even Southern Europe in Europe are compared to the Central Plains, then Europe is a barbarian land that deviates from the Central Plains, just like the Spring and Autumn Period. Although Chu is a big country, all the countries in the Central Plains look down upon him."

"In addition, the illiteracy rate in Tsarist Russia is the highest in Europe, and there is a system of serfdom in the country that is not in line with the development of the times. Therefore, I think Tsarist Russia is big, but it is like a fattened polar bear, and it is difficult to get up. ——”

"As for the rest of Prussia, how should I put it? This country is really making progress, but its position is too bad. If it wants to rise, it must first defeat Austria, which is also German, and finally it must fight France. There is no big country. The historical opportunity, I’m afraid it won’t work——”

"But there are no absolutes. After all, the situation in Europe is always changing. Who knows whether Prussia will be able to seize an opportunity."

Yan Jun knows the situation in Europe well.

After listening to Yan Jun's words, Liu Peng's expression changed. At this time, he was constantly comparing the history of future generations with the current situation in Europe. However, he was surprised to find that once similar time and space fluctuations occur again, the history of Europe will be ruined. will be completely off track.

“What do you think of the recent events in France??”

"I think the Second French Republic won't last long. The so-called moral incompatibility is now their upper limit!!" Yan Jun clearly understands the situation in France. This is a fighting arena, not a gangster. Able to control it.

Liu Peng didn't say anything when he heard this, which was regarded as an expression of approval.

This issue is what Liu Peng is most concerned about recently. A little man named Vitlin actually overthrew the Orleans Dynasty, which had changed its destiny, and established the so-called Second French Republic.

This all caught Liu Peng off guard, and what surprised him even more was that the source of the collapse of the Orleans Dynasty turned out to be the Han stock market, which had entered a status adjustment, stemming from the 500 million yuan he harvested.

This all shows once again that the world is coherent. It's not just one thing. The vortex of time and space is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, a monster will pop out. And Liu Peng actually has a premonition in his heart, because this itself is part of his plan.

Swish——

After a few final swings, Liu Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and told Yan Jun: "Let's have dinner with Gu today."

Then he walked into the holiday villa opposite without hesitation. This kind of villa was made of ancient American trees without any unnecessary decoration. It was basically a combination of Chinese architecture and Western architecture.

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Yan Jun's voice came from behind, and a smile appeared on Liu Peng's lips.
-

[Napoleon returned and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte became president of the Second French Republic. 】

[President Bonaparte issued an arrest warrant, and the kleptocratic Wetterling committed suicide at home in fear of crime. 】

On Xijing Street, there are constantly newsboys selling today's news.

The content of the news is that Napoleon has returned.

In other words, it was the return of Napoleon's nephew Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.

For the general Han people, this news is just a distraction at most, but for those who pay attention to the situation in France, it is a huge earthquake.

Han Dynasty Palace, Chongde Hall——

"Let's talk about it, how to deal with this Napoleonic Republic??" Liu Peng was sitting on the throne. When talking about the so-called French Second Republic, he had already started to call it Napoleon. After all, it was controlled by the Bonaparte family. What is the difference between France and the Napoleonic Republic? The French Empire of the original time and space will return again.

When the cabinet personnel present heard Liu Peng's inquiry, they all focused on Yan Jun.

Faced with the attention of everyone, Yan Jun had to stand up and said to Liu Peng: "Your Majesty, Bonaparte, I have heard that Bonaparte rebelled against Louis Philippe in his early years and was later suppressed by the Kingdom of France. He fled the United States, finally returned to the United Kingdom, and now uses conspiracy and tricks to get rid of former President Vitlin, which shows that this person has a deep mind and is probably difficult to deal with."

What Yan Jun actually means is that Bonaparte is not as easy to fool as Louis Philippe. I am afraid that the original method will no longer work and it is best to change to another method.

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Yan said is absolutely true. With the current situation in France, it is probably a foregone conclusion that the Napoleon family will return to power. We might as well wait and see what happens. The so-called plan followed by action is what our country should do at this time." Hu Jun tightened his grip. The one who followed said to Liu Peng.

Later cabinet members basically meant this. To sum up, try not to get involved blindly.

"According to what the ministers said——"

Liu Peng actually had no other good solution at this time. After all, Europe was too far away from Han, and it was difficult to have a relationship. In this case, it was better to wait and see what happened and wait for the opportunity.

After the court meeting ended, Liu Peng spread out the world map, looked at the jagged Europe, and the Ottomans leaning next to him, and then looked at the location of Britain, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Finally, he looked at France, who was in the eye of the storm, and murmured to himself: "Take three, take three, you have to live up to your expectations!!"

.............................................

December 1848, in the Western calendar.

At this moment, the streets of Paris are already empty, and everyone is excitedly standing on the streets, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

Yes, today is the coronation ceremony of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.

Originally, according to the original history, Bonaparte's accession to the throne should have been at the end of 1852, but in this time and space that was disrupted by the Han Dynasty.

The French, who had experienced many turmoils, suddenly discovered that only a prosperous and powerful empire could protect the interests of everyone.

And this is also the main reason why Bonaparte dared to proclaim himself emperor. After all, as his aide Langet said, this is the best time to ascend the throne. It will be difficult after the French adapt.

In this way, today's enthronement ceremony was held.

"Here he comes, he comes!!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!!"

"Long live Napoleon..."

"Long live the French Empire..."

When Bonaparte's golden carriage passed through the streets of Paris, the whole street was filled with cheering crowds.

Such a scene frightened Gabriel, who had defected to Bonaparte and killed Vitlin himself. When his carriage passed by the fanatical crowd, he even felt a tremor.

It wasn't until he saw Bonaparte's golden carriage ahead that he calmed down.

After all, at this moment, he was a vassal of the Bonaparte family and was in an absolutely safe position.

(Bonaparte promised Gabriel the title of Marquis, the largest title at present)

But as the golden carriage in front of him got further and further away, Gabriel suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. It was a feeling he had never felt before.

Just when he was about to say something, a young man in a black coat suddenly ran out from outside. He took out a lit stick of explosives directly from the coat's arms and threw it into the bottom of his car. boom! !

Along with the coachman who was killed in the bombing, and the half-dead and unrescued Zaimaqin, Gabriel disappeared from this world and disappeared into the streets of Paris.

When the explosion sounded, there was chaos on the streets, but it was quickly calmed down by the police who arrived in time.

Just as the French writer Binsey wrote in his past memories of Paris: "That day was the day when His Majesty Napoleon III ascended the throne. There were so many people on that day. I have never seen so many people in Paris. I heard that there were some who were nearly 100 years old. Years old, eighty or ninety-year-old old guard..."

"But what I remember most is not the enthronement ceremony of Notre Dame, because as a civilian, I was not eligible to enter."

"It was an explosion on Street 7. The deceased was named Gabriel. He once served as a school-level officer in the overseas colonies of the Kingdom of France. Later, he was transferred to Paris because of his military exploits. Everyone knows the subsequent story. He suppressed Paris. France revolted many times and was called the executioner. Then he betrayed Louis Philippe, the unlucky guy who was the second to be guillotined and also named Louis..."

"Then, he did it again, I can't say again. After all, so far, his evaluation has always been neutral. I thank him for his contribution to the birth of the Second French Republic and even the birth of the French Empire."

"In short, this is a complex man. If there is a person in France who is most worthy of being adapted into an opera, I think it must be Gabriel, a true legend!!"

This is what later generations would say about Gabriel, and at this moment, the real instigator, Bonaparte, is wearing a luxurious burqa.

In front of Bonaparte was a woman who did not exist in the original time and space, a French aristocratic girl named Jenna.

I met this lucky girl some time ago when Bonaparte held a celebration dinner after he won the presidency.

Originally, according to regulations, Bonaparte should marry a princess from a European royal family, but because of the restoration of the Napoleonic dynasty, no European country was willing to marry, and there was even a vague feeling of hostility.

In desperation, Jenna, who comes from a count family, became the best choice.

"Your Majesty, you look so handsome in this outfit. You look like a figure in an oil painting."

Jenny praised Bonaparte heartily while helping Bonaparte adjust his collar.

At this moment, Bonaparte was already a real emperor in her eyes, at least in terms of appearance, that was indeed the case.

"Ha ha……"

When Bonaparte heard this, he suddenly laughed, then he held Jenna's face, aimed at her red lips and kissed her. After their lips parted, he looked at her and said, "Isn't it a pity that the emperor has no queen?"

When Jenny heard this, she rolled her eyes at Bonaparte, and then continued to choose jewelry. After all, today was the coronation ceremony, so she couldn't neglect it.

Bonaparte, who was fully dressed, stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at himself in it, his eyes became more determined, his lips moved slightly, and he made a sound, as if he was saying to others, but also to himself:

"Uncle, I have done the same thing as you. I will take back the glory that belongs to Bonaparte and Napoleon at Notre Dame!!"

When Bonaparte came to his senses, the back figure in the mirror became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared.

…………

Loud music sounds! !

"Merciful God, you are so kind and loving to all living things in the world..."

"May God bless France and all living beings in this land..."

Bonaparte and Queen Jeanne stood before the bishop and listened to the prayers.

"In the name of God, I grant you the title of Emperor of France, to rule the land of France and all Christians..."

"In the name of God, I grant you the title of queen to assist..."

When the prayer ended, the bishop standing in front of Bonaparte and Jeanne picked up the crown symbolizing the emperor and prepared to wear it in front of Bonaparte.

Unexpectedly, Bonaparte reached out and took the crown directly from the bishop's hand, put it on his head, and shouted in a solemn tone:

"The French Empire will be led by me, and I will spread the gospel of God and the glory of France!!"

"Long live Napoleon!!"

"Long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor..."

When Bonaparte put the crown on his head like Napoleon, whether people admit it or not, at least in the hearts of some people, he has become the new Napoleon, or in other words, Napoleon III! !

Later, Napoleon III followed the etiquette of the Napoleonic era and put on his queen Jenna a queen's crown inlaid with diamonds and various gemstones.

There was a celebration in Paris that night.

Napoleon III stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Palace of Versailles and watched the colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky.

There was an unprecedented pleasure building up in his chest, something he had never felt before in his life. It was like a childhood dream finally coming true, and there was always an unreal feeling.

"His Majesty……"

Empress Jeanne stood behind Napoleon III with her coat and put it on him.

"Queen, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, are you kidding? I think you are the one who is really working hard. You are so handsome today, even more handsome than in the painting."

"Like, like the real Napoleon!!"

Queen Jeanne caressed Napoleon III's face, her eyes full of tenderness.

When Napoleon III heard the name Napoleon, he didn't know why. Suddenly he felt disgusted with the name. He was completely different from the way he looked when he stood in front of the full-length mirror during the day.

It's like a different person.

Queen Jenna still didn't understand and said: "I think you will become a hero in the eyes of the French like Napoleon!!"

"I think……"

"That's enough, Jenna, stop talking!!"

Napoleon III interrupted Queen Jeanne.

"Your Majesty..." Queen Jenna wanted to say something, but was stopped by Napoleon III.

"Queen, I will surpass Napoleon and become a greater person than him. An era that belongs to me, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, rather than a copy of someone else..."

"Do you know what I mean, Jenna??"

Napoleon III looked at Queen Jenna a little crazy. Queen Jenna was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. She looked at the emperor and her husband with shock and fear. She didn't know why she always admired Napoleon's husband and relied on Napoleon. Would a husband who had risen to power be so disgusted with the name Napoleon? ?

Does he know what he just said? ?

Is that his uncle? ?

"Jenna..."

"listen to me!!"

Napoleon III calmed down his excitement, put his arms around Queen Jenna's shoulders, and spoke with sincerity.

"Listen, what I just said is that I don't want to be anyone's shadow, just like no one likes to look too much like another person, even if they are uncles and nephews!!"

"I think you should understand what I want to do. I want to create an era greater than the Napoleonic era. We will be the masters and founders of this era, and then the whole of Europe will cheer for us..."

"Jenna, would you like to see me realize such a big dream??"

"Jenna??"

Napoleon III asked Queen Jeanne.

"Yes, you will make it happen!!"

"My King Louis!!"

Queen Jeanne hugged Napoleon III and said something in his ear that shocked him.

Outside the window, a bunch of fireworks bloomed, lighting up the dark night sky.
