Chapter 1547: The Napoleonic Chronicles

As Ye Tian expected, the second brown paper bag contained the draft armistice agreement that Napoleon forced the Austrian Empire to sign after defeating the First Anti-French Coalition in 1796.

These drafts also have Napoleon's red pen annotations and proposed revisions, and they have more Napoleon's own annotations than the previous manuscript papers, which are more valuable for research!

As before, Ye Tian once again took out two pages of manuscript paper from the kraft paper bag, quickly shook it on the high-definition camera he carried with him, completed the display, and continued to hang everyone's appetite.

Of course, Martinez, who was at the scene, had the privilege of browsing these two manuscripts again, and briefly explained them, making a powerful circumstantial evidence.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian put the two manuscript papers back, put them into the kraft paper bag, and sealed the mouth of the bag with white string again.

Looking at his movements, many historians and other professionals on the live broadcast end were like scratching their hearts with a hundred claws, not to mention how depressed they were, and they couldn't wait to scratch the wall with their hands!

At the same time, they also hated Ye Tian's teeth, but they were helpless, they could only envy themselves in vain and sigh at the unfairness of fate.

After putting the two pieces of manuscript paper back into the kraft paper bag and putting the kraft paper bag back into the box, Ye Tian did not continue to check the remaining documents in the box.

He directly copied the walkie-talkie and asked Antoine, who was staying in the living room, to come to this small secret room and witness the next exploration as a lawyer!

These documents are so important that they touch the nerves of the French government and all French people, and this is the capital of France, Paris, must be extremely careful!

Moreover, Antoine is a French lawyer, who can identify the origin and general content of these documents at the first time, and inform Ye Tian so that he can make the most accurate judgment!

After determining the origin and general content of these documents, Ye Tian will declare his ownership of these historical documents to the world through the live broadcast camera.

In this way, it will make the French government have some scruples, throw a mouse, dispel some dirty thoughts that should not be there, or play some tricks behind the scenes!

In about ten minutes, Antoine, dressed in white overalls, gloves, a mask, and goggles, arrived in this underground chamber.

When he walked into this small underground secret room, this guy's steps were unusually brisk, his eyes were shining, and he was about to fly with excitement!

Seeing him come in, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward to say a few words, and then the exploration action began again.

Next, the rest of the kraft paper bags packed in the first box were opened by Ye Tian one by one, and the documents and materials in the kraft paper bags that had been sealed for more than 200 years were finally rediscovered.

"Steven, this paper bag contains information about the period when Napoleon was appointed commander of the French Italian legion and led his army over the Albis Mountains and into northern Italy.

There are some marching notes written by Napoleon himself, some action orders issued before and after, as well as some analysis of the situation on both sides at that time, and the implementation strategy of related military operations.

Although most of these documents exist in the form of drafts and the official documents that form are not here, they are invaluable and are first-hand materials for studying the history of the French Revolution!

This paper bag contains documents from the period from which Napoleon and his army gained a foothold in northern Italy until the armistice was forced to be signed by the Kingdom of Sardinia,......"

With Antoine's translation, the grand historical picture of Napoleon leading a large army to conquer Italy and crushing the first anti-French alliance like a bamboo, slowly unfolded in front of Ye Tian!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian showed this magnificent history to everyone in front of the live broadcast through the high-definition camera he carried with him!

It was no surprise that the front of the live broadcast was like a boiling pot, and it became extremely lively, and everyone was completely shocked by what Ye Tian said and what he showed!

Especially in the field of historiography, because of these documents displayed by Ye Tian, a huge wave has been set off!

It didn't take long for the documents in the first red sandalwood box to be counted.

Without exception, the documents contained here are all related to Napoleon, and faithfully reflect the process of his army in 1796 to conquer Italy and defeat the first anti-French alliance, which is very detailed!

With the rediscovery of these important documents, like Ye Tian, people have more or less guessed Napoleon's intention to hide these documents.

Perhaps it was a precautionary measure, or perhaps it was a post-defeat arrangement, but Napoleon hid these extremely important documents for fear that his great achievements in Europe would be artificially erased or slandered!

As long as these documents remain on French soil, they will one day be discovered and rediscovered, and Napoleon will still be able to enjoy the worship of the French!

I have to say that Napoleon's move was very wise'

Some historical facts have indeed been drowned in the long river of history, or have been artificially tampered with, and if these documents do not appear, I am afraid that people will never be able to know the truth of history!

Of course, it was Ye Tian who benefited the most.

These documents, which Napoleon had painstakingly hidden, disappeared for more than two hundred years, but by chance became his private property!

At the thought of this, all French historians and related people, and even all French people, felt a burst of liver trembling, and their hearts were so distressed that they gasped and cursed secretly!

Ye Tian sealed the kraft paper bag in his hand, put it back into the red sandalwood box, and covered the box again.

Immediately afterward, he picked up the hydraulic pliers again and reached for the padlock on the second rosewood box.

"Smack"

The padlock was cut in two, and the second red sandalwood box was immediately opened by Ye Tian.

As soon as the box was opened, Ye Tian saw at a glance that there was a line of French characters engraved in the lid of the opened box, and the line of French was also engraved with an eagle pattern, which looked quite beautiful.

Ye Tian was not in a hurry to uncover the moisture-proof oil paper to see what was hidden under the oil paper, and whether it was an important historical document.

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the line of flowery French, and asked with a smile:

"Martinez, Antoine, come and see, what does this line of flowery French mean? Explain it to me, and also to the live audience!"

Hearing this, Martinez and Antoine immediately stepped forward and looked at the line of flowery French.

As soon as they looked at each other, a look of ecstasy flashed on the faces of these two guys, and they almost danced with their hands.

"Steven, this is a famous quote that Napoleon once said, 'Soldiers, forty centuries have watched you from the pyramids!', and this famous saying is very widespread and known in France!

In 1798, Napoleon led an expedition to Egypt, and when he passed by the Pyramids of Giza at the end of July, in the shadow of the pyramids, Napoleon pointed to the magnificent pyramids and uttered this famous phrase to his army.

Soon after, Napoleon led his army to victory at the Battle of the Pyramids, clearing all obstacles to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and then achieving a complete victory on the land of North Africa."

Antoine spoke quickly, his excited eyes shining with reverence.

He was a Frenchman from the ground up, and like most French people, Napoleon was a godlike being in his mind, almost invincible!

Hearing this explanation, Ye Tian suddenly chuckled.

"I have heard this famous quote of Napoleon for a long time, and it is indeed very bold and admirable, but I did not expect to see this famous quote here today, I am so lucky!

As can be seen from this famous quote of Napoleon, this box contains a lot of documents, and they were all formed during Napoleon's conquest of Egypt and his war in North Africa!

By extension, the same is true of other chests, each containing documents from a certain year of the Napoleonic era, which are completely Napoleonic chronicles!"

In fact, as Ye Tian expected, when he uncovered four or five layers of moisture-proof oiled paper, what appeared in front of him was the relevant documents of Napoleon's conquest of Egypt!

The same is true of the later chests, each of which is filled with a variety of documents that record Napoleon's actions in that year, in great detail!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the most detailed historical document about Napoleon, and it is also one of the most important historical documents of the French Revolution.

"In 1799, he secretly rushed back to Paris, staged a coup d'état, and became consul of the First French Republic,......"

As the boxes were opened one after another, Napoleon's magnificent life and the turbulent historical pictures of the French Revolution were presented in front of people's eyes one by one.
