Stafford's pupils shrank, and he grabbed Orichey's collar, "You want to coerce me?" ”

"Sir, you misunderstood, lowly ...... How dare you be lowly? Orichy hurriedly said, "Humble position, low position just wants, wants to invite the chief to dinner......"

Stafford let go of O'Kelly's collar and looked at him, before saying after a while, "Who are you going to use me to scare?" ”

"Sir, wise!" Olikai immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Sir, don't you know, there's a beer hall on Okan Street, which was originally a lowly territory, and then Jarvis of the detective team, sir, don't you know, that kid is the least thing, he has a lot of men, and he just snatched that street. Sir, if you are willing to help and ask the lowly to invite you to sit in that beer hall, he Jarvis will not dare to rob the lowly even if he is a dog, right? ”

"Well," Stafford said after a moment's thought, "Captain O'Kelly, you're very capable!" ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" O'Kelly hastened to say.

"What kind of beer hall are you in there?"

"Amethyst Beer Hall."

"Do you get money every month on that Okan Street? I want half. Stafford said.

"Look at what you said, sir, the money I collected on this street was originally collected for you, sir, where can I take half of you? It's all yours. Sir, you have a lot of money to spend. Don't hide it from you, sir, just let the Jarvis guys know that the lowly position is your man...... Ah, no, it's your dogs, they can't help but give a little face to their lowly duties elsewhere, right? This does not give face to the lowly position, that is not to give face to the chief, and not to give face to the governor is not to give face to the United Kingdom. With this face, the lowly position can also be raised in front of them. ”

Stafford laughed and said, "O'Kelly, you're so good. Very conscientious. However, how can you have a seizure here? Do you really have a relationship with them? ”

"Oh, sir, don't dare to talk nonsense. I don't dare even if I have ten more dares. But sir, you think, where did the traitor's guns come from? It's nothing more than two ways, one is a good gun from the French. This gun is generally only available to regular elite rebels. There is also a British gun that they have captured. ”

Speaking of this, O'Kelly paused slightly, and then said, "Sir, you know, there are new and old British guns, and the new ones are rifled guns equipped by your soldiers, sir, if such guns fall into the hands of the rebels, it will definitely be given priority to those regular elite rebels, and even if there are not many local rebels." The other type is the old-fashioned smoothbore guns of our security forces.

Sir, you also know that it's okay for our 'security forces' to manage the common people, but when it comes to fighting, it's really not good, at most we will fight with those local rebels, and if we encounter regular elite rebels, we are really not opponents. But those traitors are the most important thing, they generally don't dare to fight you, sir, so they will bully us. In other words, when will our entire security force not lose their guns? In this way, what is the gun with the most guns in the hands of the traitors? Of course, that's the gun of our security forces. Especially those rebels, most of the guns in their hands must be exactly the same guns as ours, or rather, they were our guns. So if you seize something or something, don't you just let the people below the lowly position hand over all the guns? There must be more. ”

"That's good, but there's no need to put all the guns away. Generally speaking, even if you win a battle, as long as you don't destroy the enemy, the enemy will take some weapons with you when they flee. Therefore, the number of weapons that can be captured in a battle is much smaller than the number of enemy casualties. How many rebels have we killed? Battalion Commander Stafford asked.

"More than a hundred!" "There were more than a hundred rebels, men and women, old and young. It's just a pity that in the swamp, we can't get all their bodies out. Not even just cutting off the head. ”

"O'Kelly, we're not barbarians with counting heads." Stafford frowned, "If you calculate it this way, there are more than a dozen guns, which should be about the same." Well, these guns are fine, right? ”

"Absolutely. Didn't we die more than forty people? We picked up a lot of those people's guns. It just happened to be a seizure. ”

"Good." Stafford nodded, "In addition to guns, there should be some other things, these little things, you have to prepare them for me." ”

"Sir, I'll do something, you can rest assured. Absolutely. Captain Orichy patted his chest.

"Okay, go back and get some rest, tomorrow you're going to destroy their potatoes." Stafford was in a much better mood.

Because of the new "swamp shoes", on this day, like Stafford and them, there were not a few British troops who entered the swamp to pursue the rebels, but most of the British troops returned with a feather, and not many really achieved results. In contrast, although Stamford suffered a lot of losses, he was also one of the few who actually caught the rebels, and many of them were captured. So later, he was also praised as an "expert in swamp warfare" and was commended. Of course, that's an afterthought.

In France, however, the three brothers, Joseph, Napoleon, and Lucien, were discussing the issue when there was an unprecedented serious dispute.

The dispute was sparked by Napoleon's intention to carry out a reform of the French legal system.

In the original history, Napoleon, who was a fan of Rome, modeled the system of Roman law and created a "Civil Code" with the help of four legal experts: Tronchet, the president of Dali, Marville, the Roman jurist, Preamena, the magistrate of the government, and Porta, the magistrate of the naval court. This is the most famous Napoleonic Code in history.

This code has a very high position in history, and it is the earliest civil code of the bourgeois state. It affirmed the legitimacy of the appropriation of aristocratic and ecclesiastical land property by the bourgeoisie and peasants, guaranteeing protection from feudal forces; The denial of feudal privileges established the principles of bourgeois freedom and equality, stipulating that every citizen has the same civil rights and capacity; The Code clearly stipulates the family, marriage, inheritance and other aspects of social life. This code is the earliest civil code in capitalist countries, which broke the feudal legislative principle and became the legislative norm of the bourgeoisie in Europe and the United States, promoting the development of capitalism.

In later generations, there were two main legal systems in the world, one was the "American and British law system" represented by the United Kingdom and the United States, also known as the "law of the sea" or "customary law system"; The other is the "civil law system" represented by Roman law and the Napoleonic Code, also known as the "statutory law system" or simply the "civil law system", and the "civil law" in the word "civil law system" refers to the "Napoleonic Civil Code".

It is said that in the original history, after Napoleon suffered the defeat of Waterloo and was exiled again, he once sighed very much: "The military achievements of my life have been wasted with the defeat of Waterloo." But only my law will shine for generations. ”

It is not possible to test whether this statement is true or not, but the Napoleonic Code certainly deserves such praise. This is a great achievement that is both "groundbreaking, important, discussable, practical, and popular".

If Joseph is not supported in making such a copy of the Napoleonic Code, then Joseph is of course very supportive. Because this code affirms the principle of people's property ownership in the first place. In the original time and space, almost one-third of the provisions of this code protected the inviolability of private property from different perspectives. This was certainly the best for Joseph, who had made a fortune in the Revolution.

"Since we have already made a fortune by violent means, we should make a rule that prohibits others from making a fortune in this way in the future. We must not allow others to follow our path, leaving us with no way out. Joseph had always been convinced of this. In this regard, Napoleon's code was to elevate the interests of the family to the interests of the state, how could Joseph not support it?

But after discussing the basic principles of the Civil Code, Joseph began to discuss political arrangements with Napoleon. On this issue, their contradictions are revealed.

At first, Napoleon only mentioned his intention to ease the conflict with the Holy See. At the time of the Great Revolution, because the Holy See firmly stood on the side of the counter-revolution, and because the revolutionary government adhered to the fine tradition of "robbing the church if you don't have enough money", France and the Holy See turned their faces completely. During Robespierre's time, France simply banned Catholicism and replaced it with the so-called "Rationalism".

After Robespierre's death, the crackdown on the Church was reduced (because by this time, the Church in France had been robbed), but the government and the Holy See did not reach a settlement, so although the government did not manage it too much (the Directory did not have the ability and spare to do so), and the Catholic faith of the people was restored somewhat, the Catholic Church was still an "illegal organization" at least for now.

However, the influence of this "illegal organization" in France is still very deep-rooted. In the countryside, at least, there are devout Catholics everywhere. So Napoleon felt that if he wanted to further strengthen his position, he needed to reach a rapprochement with the Holy See.

Joseph is also very supportive of this. Because religion or something, as the opium of the people, it is really useful. Without religion, how could the people endure the suffering of the future?

However, while talking about this, Napoleon's words made Joseph frown.

Even the emperors of Rome knew how to use Christianity to justify their position. Therefore, the crowns of the ancient Roman emperors were worn by the pope. Although the Pope was only a servant of the emperor. But compared to making oneself a god, this method can make the common people believe in it more. ”

"Napoleon." Joseph frowned, "There is one very important matter, which I have always hoped to have the opportunity to talk to you about, and that is the question of the future political system of France. ”
