Harry Potter's Morning Light Chapter 1845

Chapter 1845 Witch Club (21)

When a person stands on the stage, facing the thousands of people off the stage, he can't hear what they are talking about.

Everyone was yelling and the sound turned into a noisy ocean wave, but the people standing on the stage could still see the expressions of the people in the crowd.

When a person feels that he is invisible in a crowd, he will feel safe, he can show his true self, and the expression at this time will be clearly seen by the people on the stage.

Cheers are of course pleasant to people, but it is easy for people to get lost in it, not just the people being cheered, but also the cheering people. People who fall into the group will do the same thing with passion. Sometimes it's for the leaders on the stage, sometimes it's for the matches in the arena.

Maybe the United States has a lot of problems, but there is one thing they did.

It is impossible for the president and the county magistrate to have no affiliation in the army, so even if the county magistrate disobeys the president's order, the president cannot expel him. The Frankish King Clovis had hoped to get a vase, but this vase was a trophy belonging to other warriors. He felt that doing so was a violation of the tribe's custom of distributing trophies, and he opposed Clovis's request. Clovey didn't say anything at the time, but later found an excuse during a review and drew a sharp axe to smash the soldier's head.

Caligula's real name is Gayo Caesar, and the soldiers gave him the nickname of Caligula, which means little boots. He was a lovely child when he was young, but his grandfather Tiberius was not a kind old man.

He and the Gragu brothers who initiated the reform at the end of the Roman Republic have the same name, but they are two completely different people. He reduced the expenditure on public entertainment, reduced the scale of the triumphal ceremony, set an example and thrifty, and established a 6000 team. The man's guards were under the direct control of the emperor, and were no longer spontaneously protected by the citizens like Tiberius Gragu.

Caesar also died in the assassination. Although he was a military commander, how could he bring so many guards in the Senate?

It's just that this team that was supposed to protect the safety of the royal family became a major hidden danger from the beginning of its establishment, and it launched many rebellions in the late Roman Empire. The throne is easy to come, and sitting is actually very uncomfortable, but all tyrants are often given the title of licentiousness. Tiberius has a small island. On a summer day in AD 26, Tiberius suddenly left Rome. People knew what he was going to do. At this time, the fortune-teller came out to appease the people, and then they fortune-telled a result that Tiberius would never return after he left Rome.

Tiberius went to Capri, an island full of cliffs on three sides, to live in seclusion. It was difficult for outsiders to approach. He continued to manage the country by letter.

Outsiders didn't know everything that happened on the island. Caligula did become a benevolent dictator for a while after he took the throne. The people of Rome loved him, but not long after he fell ill, the people prayed for him, and there was even one person. Willing to trade his own life for Caligula's life.

This was a kind of "speaking", but Caligula took it seriously. He ordered the civilian to dress up as a sacrificed animal, cut his throat and threw it towards the Roman wall.

In addition, he changed the rules of the sword fighting game. Generally speaking, a light-armored fighter would fight another light-armored fighter. The marine fish fighter wears heavy armor, and Caligula makes a light armor color. The Raisians fight with the fish fighters.

This Thracian gladiator is not Spartacus. Even bloodthirsty Roman citizens oppose this unfair duel, but Caligula hopes that this "game" will continue. Will the gladiator be killed faster by the heavy armor?

It is very unsafe without heavy armor protection, but the Thracian's movements are more sensitive, and the Thracian can kill the marine fish fighter at any time.

But he also knew that if he didn't design a **** spectacle for Caligula, the emperor would not let him leave the arena alive.

Caligula built a pontoon bridge across Baya Bay in order to mock a diviner, because the diviner once said that Caligula's chances of becoming emperor are about the same as crossing the bay on horseback. After becoming the emperor, the fortuneteller ran away.

Compared with beasts, Caligula is a real monster. Gladiators can't run away like diviners, because diviners are free men and gladiators are slaves. Caligula can use the excuse of catching fugitives to send troops. Hunt him down.

When people are forced to have no way to retreat, they will force amazing potential. Maybe the marine fish fighter is also forced to fight, but in that case, what other choice do they have?

Compared with gladiatorial fighting, racing is much more "civilized", but racing is not a sport that the poor can afford to play. It requires horses, chariots, and time to train. Justinian's grand plan made many people suffer, but he also built some wonders. Now the Blue Mosque in Constantinople is the former Hagia Sophia, which was built by Justinian. Its architectural form once aroused the respect of the Greeks. The circular roof has 24 windows for lighting. The entire dome is supported by four heavy stone stacks. The south and north sides of the stone stacks are supported by two Egyptian granite stone pillars. The building is like a Greek cross inlaid in the center of a square.

Justinian made a wise decision not to move any wood except the door into the church. This prevented the Saint Sophia Church from being burnt down in the fire of the Nika Uprising like other buildings. All who have ever witnessed Saint Sophia People in the church cited its magnificence and splendor. Many of the materials used to build the church came from quarries in Asia Minor, Greece, Egypt, and Gaul.

When Western Rome was finally destroyed, many Romans began to flee. Some went to Venice and set up a small fishing village in the lagoon, using the sea as a moat.

Some Romans fled to Gaul, the land that Caesar once conquered, but it already belonged to the Franks. According to the Sakley Code, becoming a vassal of the king will have many privileges. The Romans are no longer superior Roman citizens in this land. They must do everything possible to become vassals of the king.

In the Eastern Roman Empire, Roman citizens still enjoyed privileges. When the Justinian plague broke out, famines and earthquakes followed one after another. Constantinople was shaken for more than 40 days. At the beginning, everyone had food. Eat, and later became a Roman citizen can be allocated food. If anyone intends to fish, look at the floating corpses in the Golden Bay. Too many people are dead. There is no time to bury the corpses. There is no room for burial. All the towers have become corpses. After filling it up, seal it up again. When the tower was full, people would bury their bodies at sea and throw their bodies into the sea.

The elegy of the choir can no longer be heard in the city, nor can the funeral procession be seen. The tide rushed the floating corpse to the shore, and a layer of golden oil floated on it. Who is in the mood to eat fish caught in the sea like that?

Before the outbreak of the plague, there were 750,000 troops in the Eastern Roman Empire, but only 150,000 when Justinian died. Because of the reduction in military expenditures, the treatment of soldiers was inevitably reduced. As a result, the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The defense of the empire The strength plummeted.

These ruthless and cruel blows completely shattered Justinian's dream, and he no longer recalled the glory of the past. If we want to make a ranking of the history of human disasters, the year 536 AD is undoubtedly among the best. In that year, the Icelandic volcano erupted. The volcanic ash caused 18 months of darkness in Constantinople. Even if the sun rose, it was only I can see a red outline, and I can't feel the slightest temperature.

In 1792, the Icelandic volcano erupted again, which caused a reduction in food production. Perhaps Louis XV's free marketization of food was hoping to change the living conditions of farmers. The price of food was too low, but what they did not expect was that it contributed to land mergers and violence. The rich bourgeoisie.

An honest farmer will leave 20% of the grain for himself, and the remaining 80% will be transported to the market. He usually transports it to the market to sell. The food dealers make a big profit, and the farmer has to bear taxes and the cost of producing grain. Because of the risks caused by natural disasters, I had to sell the land to the rich when I had no money.

As for the citizens in the city, watching the price of food rise steadily, their income can't afford bread.

Some people may say that they don't eat bread and eat other things. People need dignity and respect to live. If the rich have money, they should not buy the title of nobility from the king.

Free marketization has only brought the gospel to a small number of people, while the living standards of most people are still stagnant, lacking security and stability, and the theories and knowledge promoted by elites and intellectuals have no effect in the face of panic.

Ignoring the people's income level and their desperate emotions, talking about politics in the salons all day long, or singing and dancing in Versailles, adopting an attitude of disdain to the people, the disrespect of the elite aristocrats to ordinary people is almost the same as that of the people. The economic tragedy is just as painful.

Imperfect market competition will only allow a few people to hold power, and the nobility will not pay taxes, which gives them an advantage in the competition with the bourgeoisie, but it will also lead to market failure. If it were not for the fact that most people's income levels were too low to lead a decent life, this problem would not have become so prominent.

Napoleon took the Frenchman across the Alps. One of the battalions was mutinous because of the problem with the army boots. Is this really because of the boots?

British military uniforms and weapons are self-provided. Of course, the young man is willing to wear a beautiful red shrimp uniform, coupled with bright military boots, walking on the street and watching the scenery. If he walks down the street dressed like a beggar, who thinks it is a decent thing to join the army?

The prosperity brought by the market should not only be held in the wealthy class, but in the entire social class, which will benefit the whole society. When a woman finds that her child is hungry like a gossamer, she also raises her apron and asks the king for bread.

There are rumors that there are many innocent people in the Bastille who have been imprisoned because the nobles handed "small notes". The people of Paris have captured the Bastille under the indignation.

This is certainly a story, which is the same as Marie Antoinette's "They can't eat bread, why don't they eat cake", but is there really no one who abuses power?

The anger is hard to commit, not only the Bastille, but also the city gates of Paris were demolished together. Why should a tax collection place be so luxurious?

As for repairing the Arc de Triomphe, the days of the French were not as tight as before. Although Napoleon was not a perfect monarch, and people would feel confused after cheering for his victory, he gave people a different experience from the imperial examination. Promotion mechanism-the army and the battlefield. If you fail the exam, you can repeat it. If you lose on the battlefield, you will lose your life. There is no chance to come back. He and his "first-term" generals are promoted quickly. This was supposed to be a transparent and fair system, but because Napoleon himself didn't like a lieutenant when he was studying, no matter how capable the person was and how many people recommended, he would not give him a chance. Under this extremely unfair situation , The lieutenant, along with the republican officer who was also coldly received, disguised as a hussar at the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Canal Saint-Martin, and assassinated the dictator who was destroying the Republic.

The assassination was unsuccessful. Napoleon seemed to be alert. He wore a saber during the ceremony, unlike Caesar who was unarmed and wearing Roman robes.

These assassins were hanged after they did not die on the spot. They were put on pure black uniforms instead of the uniforms worn by their previous arms.

Just like the governor of Venice, Marino Fayelli, he is not the only one who used power to kill rivals or plot to overthrow the Republic to achieve hereditary inheritance. His main problem is to try to overthrow the trial results of the "Conference of Ten", and in order to achieve This purpose was assembled with other "dissatisfied people" to try to eliminate the "meeting of ten", so he became the only one covered in black in so many portraits of the Venetian governors.

If public opinion supports the Republic, then Napoleon was assassinated and his execution of those assassins would arouse public opinion. It's just that neither the Supervisory Government nor the previous political parties allowed the people to lead an orderly life. After the balance in people's minds tilted, people were more willing to believe that the lieutenant assassinated Napoleon because of personal grievances. The people saw a decent funeral, but they couldn't see the corpse in the coffin like a black veil, and the inside of the army knew it.

If the assassination in BC was "cannot be done", then the assassination was "cannot be done".

is just a death, and change of clothes, there is no lashing or dismemberment, what's the horror?

Some people say that the wheels of history are rolling forward, but the wheels are installed on the car. Once the Bonaparte's chariot starts, it is best not to stand in the place where the big car passes.

Like the Thracian gladiator, he can kill the sea fish fighter in many mediocre ways, but if he wants to leave alive, he must create spectacles to satisfy Caligula.

The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1816 also brought the same weather as the last days, and a comet passed by in the fifth year of Justinian's succession.

The spectacle is breathtaking and enlightening. If Bonaparte is the magician on the battlefield, the one who plays with pen and ink is another kind of magician. They focus on shaping the things that people pay attention to, and deliberately hide the things that people really need.

The "last time" British newspapers portrayed Bonaparte as a short man. Out of fear of the law and misunderstanding of Bonaparte, people felt that he was nothing great. Sometimes people would be afraid of knowing more, not like nothing. Being so fearless when I know it, I can easily muster the courage.

Theodora gave birth to a daughter before marrying Justinian. She knew very well what would happen in the future, so she personally buried the girl alive.

The girl fell asleep before she felt pain. The question is that the purple robe is the most beautiful shroud. Did Theodora wrap the baby in the purple robe?

After all, this is the last love she can give her as a comedy actress mother.
