Harry Potter's Morning Light Chapter 740

Chapter 740 "Fire in the Backyard"

Gothic architecture is always so dark. The most beautiful Gothic building in Venice is the "Golden House" as an art gallery, and the second most beautiful Gothic building is the Doge's Palace. Its surface almost looks It is lace-like, covered with pink Verona marble and pierced by graceful arched windows.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Porte de la Carta, located between the Doge's Palace and the Basilica of San Marco. Above it is the Doge Francesco Foscari kneeling in front of the Lion of San Marco.

In the Republic of Venice, individuals succumbed to state power, and the current sculpture is a 19th century replica of the original sculpture, which was destroyed when Napoleon's army invaded Venice.

If for another period of time, soldiers like Napoleon would have gone to the military court long ago. When he was in the army, he would be rebellious, able to win battles without observing orders, and when he invaded Italy, his orders to the chiefs would be delayed if they could be delayed. How could it be possible to become the emperor of France.

The Republic of Venice is a trading country. If you can make friends, you should make friends as much as possible. The Genoese are rivals of the Venetians. The Holy See, Venice, Florence, Naples and Milan are five equal countries, although they are quite different in size and nature. However, the balance of political power is generally maintained, which is not conducive to the unification of Italy.

Foreigners' images of Italy are a treasure trove of art. It is rich and divided, and its military power is weak. It is not difficult to defeat and a lucrative trophy.

In fact, the Italians also have ambitions. After all, Rome is on their land. The war between Francesco Foscari and the Milanese is not a trade dispute, but a merger war.

Because of its wealth, it can always pay off on time. Venice's policy of supporting mercenaries to expand its national defense is also very successful, and the Venetian navy is spreading across the Mediterranean.

The same method cannot be used in the army. The results of the successive defeats led to the alliance of Florence and Milan, which were allied with Venice.

After spending so much money in the war and losing, the tenth group finally decided to retreat the Venetian governor.

The Dandolo family enjoys many privileges in Venice, but not every member of the Dandolo family can enjoy it. Blood is a bond, but it does not determine everything. After Andrea Dandolo, there is no Dandor. The Luo family has served as the governor of Venice.

The Republic of Venice is a republic, and there will be no "royal family". The emperor often has military merits. Francesco Foscari has only one son. His son is gone. He wants to "father to die and to succeed." The transfer mode will not happen. The Republic of Venice will not become the second Roman Republic, nor will there be a second pair of fathers and sons like Caesar and Octavian.

Many people are lucky. They were born in wealthy families.

It seems that Freemasonry is not only developing in Europe. It also has members in Asia. Sakamoto Ryoma has a photo with his hands in his arms. Some people say that it is a coincidence. Others say that he is a member of Freemasonry. In a civil turmoil of "Shikashang", the lower-ranking samurai wanted to overthrow the daimyo class of the Tokugawa shogunate and the palace family of the emperor.

Previous samurai who inherited their father's title would have a salary, but Ronin did not, and the places like Nagasu Satsuma were far less wealthy than Kyoto.

The poor countries conquered the rich countries and repeated the process of the destruction of the rich countries. It is not that we cannot accept inequality, but it is ourselves who do not want to be oppressed. If we are a vested interest, who would complain about the unfair destiny?

The interesting thing about Severus is that he is a man who has been treated unfairly by fate, but he dared to face it. On the contrary, the former big winner Sirius Black complained about the unfair fate.

Marriage is the best way to break this class barrier. Sooner or later, the idea of “right to the door” will go wrong.

Napoleon was afraid of the Venetians and even destroyed their lions. He wanted to be an emperor, and his personal will was above the law and the republic. But the Venetians were good at conspiracy and tricks. Napoleon and Josephine had no children. The reason why the Tsar would treat the demon monk Rasputin was brought into the court because he could cure the crown prince's illness, the son-in-law and adopted son-in-law inheritance system of the ancient Roman Empire was forgotten.

How much do men value whether the child born to a woman is their own?

Is your inheritance going to be inherited by someone who is not related to you?

What's the use of studying and martial arts as long as he has a blood relationship with those in power? Anyway, the family property will be inherited by him sooner or later.

The first person who thought of wiping his **** with paper must have thought so.

The Crusaders were played around by the merchants of Venice. The profiteers are certainly abominable, but the Crusaders themselves have problems. The "bottom line" is not clear. Constantinople is a bridgehead against foreign invasions, such as the state Constantinople is still in Christ. With unarmed hands, why did the Ottoman Empire expand afterwards?

Stepping on this bottom line, your mind should be sober and vigilant. If you don't use your brain to think about countermeasures, then you will be fainted and pay IQ tax.

In Murphy's Law, if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, someone will definitely make this choice.

The basic content is: if something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

Pull dozens of boats to make a pontoon bridge, the army can go ashore, and the lagoon can't protect Venice.

Napoleon snatched a lot of books, and he usually found it useless. Now that he needs to use it, he can only go to Turin to try his luck, but now the first problem of Monica and Ali Sandro's grand dream is not this, but persuasion The Lions in China accepted their plan and stopped developing tourism, and instead moved the banking industry to their own country.

Venice is now so poor that sellers produce it. Not only famous paintings, but also islands have to be sold. For Venice, a popular international tourist city, renting an island will definitely cost a lot of money. For this reason, the city government has launched a grand real estate development project. The newly developed island will be the same as Lido Island, with high-end yacht clubs, parks, hotels, restaurants, tennis courts, high-end business districts, etc., and a small island in the Pacific Ocean will cost thousands. Ten thousand dollars, let alone Venice, the 99-year rent of 100 million should be no problem.

It's just that the city government rented it out instead of Toceno or Burano, but the plague island of Povilla. There are always fools who don't know about its history and are fooled.

Who would go on vacation on that haunted island?

Monica also learned about this plan from her teacher. In line with the idea of "turning waste into treasure", there are many local celebrities who support it. It seems that the momentum of "Italian Li" has also blown into Venice.

They stayed in Torcello until the afternoon, and then set off for Lazzareto.

It is said that “Magiaposthuma” appeared on this island. It was a retreat for the sick during the outbreak of the plague in the 16th century. No one knows what happened on the island.

The Muggle archaeological community successfully reproduced the ritual of people driving out vampires at that time-putting bricks into the vampire's mouth.

"According to historical records, the burial at that time had to be wrapped in a shroud. After a period of time, some parts of the mouth of the shroud would be eaten by small bugs or bacteria in the ground, so that the mouth of the dead body would be It is exposed that patients are often buried hurriedly before they really die. These people struggle with pain at the end of their lives and eventually become vampires.” Monica said, she seemed to really like this strange knowledge.” This vampire sounds different from those elegant vampires."

"That's not a vampire." Pomona looked at the sky above her head and said, the sea is still sunny and cloudless.

"what is that?"

"Dementor," Pomona said.

This is a new term, and Monica has no idea what it means.

"Giving up hope is the door to hell." Pomona said helplessly. It seemed impossible for the sleeping lion of the Republic of Venice to wake up again.

No wonder Eugene and Hemingway committed suicide.

Since the metaphor is not clear, it is clear that it is not her style to hide and tuck, and the doctor who saved the life during the London plague will also be driven away. Muggles are Muggles.
