Chapter 160: The Man Called Napoleon!

Han Xing pretended to be indifferent, just to encourage his subordinates who were already panicked and shivering, but in fact, he himself felt that those two legs were like they were filled with lead. However, there is a way to "be the courage of the soldiers", (shēn) is the commander, Han Xing can't show the slightest fear.

There is no way, the crowd in front of him is really spectacular, at least the scale of thousands of people, although this number is not large, but considering that there are only more than a hundred on his side, the number is very different from the real one, and the fear of Han Xing and his subordinates is not difficult to understand!

The gray-blue eyed young man was still looking in Han Xing's direction with great interest, so Han Xing walked towards him, and then said with a smile, "Sir, you seem to be a very special person!" I am Lieutenant Hanschel Segaard, commander of His Majesty's Swiss Guard! ”

"Really? I also happen to be a lieutenant, I am Lieutenant Napoleon Bonaparte who is attached to the French artillery! The young man with gray-blue eyes said with a smile as well.

"Napoleon! It's Napoleon! I won the jackpot! Han Xing's heart was full of joy, and in later generations he was a die-hard fan of Napoleon.

Napoleon is the figure Han Xing admires the most, and he is known as one of the four great conquerors of Europe along with Alexander the Great and Caesar.

He was also one of the grandparents of the legal profession, and his Civil Code (also known as the Napoleonic Code) was the blueprint for the constitutions of many countries in later generations. He was also a mathematician who discovered and proved Napoleon's theorem.

His most pretending moment was when the hundred (rì) dynasty was restored, and he took a few hundred people to impress tens of thousands of French troops with a few words, and then let them willingly (qíng) switch to his side.

Although he has some unique views on the military front, most of the time he is an outsider who points fingers and adds to the problem.

Napoleon was like the Roman hero of modern times, with Hugo calling him "Michelangelo at war", "a great master of rebuilding ruins", and "a successor to Charlemagne, Louis XI, Henry IV, Cardinal Richelieu and Louis IV, the Sun King".

Of course, the most important thing is that his war of expansion was as positive as Alexander the Great, who transmitted the advanced ideas of the French Revolution to the countries of Europe and promoted the modernization process of the European countries.

In Han Xing's eyes, Napoleon is a real hero, a unique existence, whether it is Alexander the Great or Caesar, they are all from famous families (shēn) and even Alexander the Great's father was the king of Macedonia, but in addition to speech and political talent, everything else was thrown away by Napoleon.

How many rulers like Napoleon were there who had outstanding military and political achievements and a wide range of knowledge? Even in the Celestial Empire, I'm afraid I can't find a few such characters! Either the martial arts of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, or the poetry of Li Yu, Zhao Ji (Song Huizong), and of course, the Qianlong Emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, the stamp maniac and the destroyer of cultural relics.

Therefore, Napoleon is a unique hero, a unique figure worthy of Han Xing's admiration! And at this time, he was standing in front of Han Xing's eyes!

"Very good speech, but it won't help much in the plight of His Majesty!" Napoleon said lightly, but Han Xing only noticed the "very good speech", and he was about to faint with happiness, and he was able to get praise from his idol, Han Xing felt that his heart was about to fly to the sky!

Now that Napoleon was close at hand, Han Xing almost felt out of breath, and even his tone trembled unconsciously. "Mr. Lieutenant, why don't we go have a drink together?"

"I'd love to, after all, I have a lot of free time, after all, you can see it, I'm even idle enough to watch (rè) make a fuss here!" Napoleon spread his hands helplessly and put a helpless watch (qíng).

"But you'd better go and change your clothes first, you won't want to run outside the Tuileries Palace in this (shēn)! God knows if those crazy guys will tear you apart or hang you hanging from a street lamp! Napoleon "friendly" reminded him.

Han Xing nodded when he heard this, and went back to the barracks to change into a simple (shēn) clothes, he didn't dare to wear luxurious clothes to swagger through the market, if he was treated as a nobleman, it would be miserable! Given that this exiled nobleman named Hanschel Segaard was not doing well, a normal dress was still easy to find!

"I know a nice tavern, let's go there!" As soon as Han Xing came out, he saw Napoleon sitting on a stone bench with his head bowed, and the shadow of his hat (yīn) covered his face.

It's an Italian-style tavern, not a rè, obviously, his main audience is "Italians" like Napoleon, and in the restaurant of about 200 square meters, there are only a few tables with customers, but judging by their dress, it is clear that they are all Italians. How do you say that? People who have money to go abroad are usually not too poor, are they?

You can even eat authentic sausage pasta here, the noodles are smooth and smooth, and full of toughness (xìng), especially the wide "(shēn) amount", which makes Han Xing (yù) stop it, and Han Xing is a gourmand himself. Han Xing can also make pasta, but he can't do it so well, even though Han Xing knows very well that the trick of pasta is to use salt water when cooking noodles.

"Cheers, Monsieur Bonaparte! I can't get enough of this tavern Italian food! Han Xing picked up the wine glass and shook the dark red liquid inside.

Napoleon nodded, picked up his wine glass and touched it with Han Xing, and only after the two of them were seated did he jokingly speak: "Mr. Segaard, I have to say that as a German, you speak French really well!" And it's weird that you have a penchant for red wine that goes far beyond beer! ”

"That's because I'm not German at all! It's a Celestial Empire gourmand from the future who has tasted all the world's cuisines! Han Xing muttered in his heart.

He took a sip of the red wine in his glass and smiled, "I am indeed a German, but I am also an aristocrat!" Han Xing deliberately lowered his voice when he was talking about the nobles.

"Coincidentally, we are really in love, we are both lieutenants, and we are all nobles out (shēn)!" After taking a few sips of wine and eating a meal of pasta, Napoleon grabbed a piece of pizza and chewed it.

"Can you not fall in love? I'm deliberately following you! Han Xing complained in his heart. In order to be able to complete the tasks assigned by Ali and get close to the idol in his mind, Han Xing basically stuck Napoleon's cold (pì) shares on his face.

"What a trick to get Napoleon to drink in the tavern!" Drinking a small amount of alcohol can help overcome social barriers, reduce tension (qíng), and make people more talkative! It was precisely because of this that Han Xing was able to talk to Mr. Bonaparte.

Han Xing told Napoleon his "story" by arranging the space for his own share of the story of the exiled Earl of Paderborn, Henchel Segaard.

Napoleon also told Han Xing about his recent (qíng) situation. Han Xing learned that this Monsieur Bonaparte had just returned from Corsica, and he tried to return to Corsica to join the National Guard, and inherited his father's mantle to join the cause of Corsican independence.

Unfortunately, tragedy soon unfolded on the twenty-three-year-old lieutenant colonel (shēn), who would not sit idly by while Corsica became independent from France, even in the midst of the revolutionary zeitgeist.

So when Napoleon led his people to try to capture the garrison fortress, he was defeated, and he himself was charged with treason, and even Pauli (Napoleon's childhood idol, the leader of Corsican independence, Napoleon's father was his aide-de-camp) hurriedly betrayed his sincerity to France and threw Napoleon out.

With the help of his relatives and friends, Napoleon escaped and came to Paris to pursue his dream, at this time his heart was full of loneliness and resentment of being betrayed by Pauli, and he tried to find a new opportunity in Paris, the birthplace of the Revolution, to clean up Pauli, a traitor! How he used to admire Pauly, how much he hates him now!

This is how Han Xing met this down-and-out dreamer, and I have to say that he is really very bold and actually knows the truth of darkness under the lamp. (shēn) is a fugitive accused of treason, and he actually ran to the heart of France, Paris!

But in view of the chaotic situation in Paris, where the King and the National Assembly were attacking each other, who cares about a little lieutenant who skips his shift? There are more people in Paris who should be convicted of treason! But aren't they at large? According to the principle that what the king supports must be opposed, the National Assembly will only oppose the king!

After sweeping up the food on the table, Napoleon burped and said, "Hanschel, I didn't say you, do you really intend to die with that foolish majesty?" You don't know that there is no future with him, do you? Now that we have been chatting for so long, Han Xing's (rè) (qíng) has finally touched this "Corsican (ài) countryman" who is at a low point in his life.

Han Xing smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, but what choice do I have?" My life's dream is to reclaim and restore our family's territory! And I'm an aristocrat, and I'm destined to be insulated from the guys in the National Assembly! ”

Napoleon just sighed, Han Xing's fate was very similar to his, and their ideals were to continue their father's career. He wanted to achieve Corsican independence and be a national hero of Corsica. Han Xing wants to reclaim Paderborn and restore his family's territory, but now, a German and a Corsican are sitting in an unknown tavern in Paris, sighing and feeling sad about their uncertain future.

"Sometimes I don't know what I'm going to do next! Corsica doesn't need me, and now I'm still saddled with treason, living in Paris without food and clothing, and with nothing! The twenty-three-year-old lieutenant lamented his life and felt sorry for himself for his current situation.

"Napoleon, you're only twenty-three years old, okay? Look at me, I'm thirty-five years old! I'm 12 years older than you, but I have almost nothing but a false title of nobility! At least you've been a lieutenant colonel! Look at me, I'm going to lose my job, and if I'm unlucky, I'm going to have to lose my head! You're just a minor setback compared to me! Han Xing pointed to his face and said.

A smile flashed across Napoleon's face, and he poured himself another sip of wine, and at this time his face was flushed, and it was clear that he had drunk high!

"Who would have thought that this sāo, resentful, self-pitying guy would become a figure who could make the whole of Europe tremble with a stomp of his feet in 10 years? He even started an era of his own - the Napoleonic era! Han Xing thought to himself.
