Chapter 3314
Milan's social circle can be roughly divided into two, one is the "Literary Society", they often gather in the Zamagna (zamagna) cafe near the Milan Cathedral, Bernardo Zamagna of the Dalmatian School After teaching Greek language and literature there, he later became papal nuncio to Tuscany and left Milan. After he left, students still often gathered in the place where they used to have classes, and it gradually became a coffee shop.
The other is Teatro alla Scala, where the elite gather, mostly exiled artists. The captain, who is good at writing poetry, always goes to the theater, where "Patch's Conspiracy" is being performed in recent days.
The Pazzi family was the family that assassinated Giuliano de' Medici in the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore in 1478. Lorenzo Medici hid in the sacristy and climbed out of the window, but in Machiavelli's case According to Leigh's records, the place of the crime was the Cathedral of St. Repatara.
But it didn't matter where it was. Georgiana, led by Melchi, went to Mulla's residence in Milan.
At the last founding ceremony, Georgiana was still wondering why the Shannan Alpine Republic sent 30 representatives.
These representatives are divided according to jurisdiction, just like the British magistrates, who are in charge of both judicial, civil and administrative matters. The magistrates will report to the "Queen" at regular intervals.
However, Mullah was a restless person. As a garrison commander, he intervened in many affairs and planned to change everyone in the administrative agencies of the Shannan Republic.
That's what constitutional monarchy is, and it's good to be like Queen Anne, even though poets commented that she only ate.
Mullah would not fail to tell Melchi if he wanted to capture Ceroni, and he had to receive Bonaparte's authorization to capture Ceroni.
When he was in Paris, it was too late for the First Consul to be busy with France's affairs. How could he have time to take care of Italy's affairs?
There was originally Talleyrand, deputy lord of the seals, but he was busy complimenting beautiful women, holding banquets, and charming European kings all day long, so he had no time.
On Milan's planning map, there is a large area outside the city that will be used to build squares. Even in the suburbs, it is enough to plan several residential areas. And as Talleyrand said, don't stamp it or put it away immediately. His will is announced. The square was initially round, then changed to a circle on the outside and square on the inside, and now it is a square.
Melchi's suspension of work was not entirely "free". He also had to wait for Bonaparte to decide before executing it.
Anyway, Georgiana dressed in women's clothes, got out of the carriage holding a sword and a pink box, and walked into Murat's house under the escort of the gendarmes and Augereau.
She hoped that Paulina and Caroline had persuaded Mullah, for she disliked the performance.
Caroline's house was more luxurious than Polina's, and it was also crowded. Men and women chatted in the garden and on the porch.
Georgiana ignored those people and walked inside led by a soldier wearing a pink feather.
Mullah not only designed his own uniforms, but also the uniforms of his soldiers.
When she saw Maura, he was talking to Caroline, and the two seemed to have a bit of an argument.
Georgiana searched around the crowd and quickly found Polina and Delmid, who were wearing the same "children's clothing" as Murat's son Ahir, which was a smaller version of the soldier uniform designed by Murat.
When Maura saw someone coming, he stopped talking to Caroline and turned to look at Georgiana.
She remembered that the last time she saw Murat so close was at the Tuileries Palace, when she and Severus were looking for help from these ghosts.
"What's the matter with you?" Mu La said proudly, holding the knife on his waist.
"Do you know who I am?" Georgiana asked.
Maura smiled disdainfully and turned to look at Melchi.
"Is this the reinforcement you brought here?"
Melch stood behind Georgiana, his face sullen and silent.
"Get a chair." Georgiana said to a soldier, and then looked at Mulla. "It's easier now that you know who I am. I'm here to tell you to take back your order."
"That's a traitor. He's going to print this out soon." Mullah said, handing a piece of paper to Georgiana.
She held the box in both hands, leaving no free hand to touch the letter. Just as the soldier brought an armchair over, Georgiana took Bonaparte's clothes out of the box and placed them one after another on the chair.
Especially the three-cornered hat without feathers. After she put it away, there was a buzz in the hall.
"Do you know whose it belongs to?" Georgiana asked Mullah.
Maura looked at the clothes and remained silent.
Georgiana held the sword in front of Mullah.
"Achim Murat obeys. Now, on behalf of the First Consul of France, I order you to bring Leckie back immediately."
Maura sneered and looked at everyone.
"Do you think I should listen to what she says?"
There were many people laughing, but no one answered, as if they were watching a show.
At this time, Georgiana felt a little regretful. Why did her performance as Alexander the Great's secretary go so smoothly?
It's a pity that there are no lines in the history books, she just saw such a plot.
"Are you going to arrest him?" Augereau said suddenly, his eyes always looking at Murat.
"Why are you arresting me?" Mullah asked Augereau in a very angry tone.
"Just because you disobeyed orders." Augereau said without giving up. "She represents the general now."
Maura turned back, glanced at Napoleon's clothes on the chair, and then at Augereau.
"I didn't send the people out, but they were in the theater and something went wrong..."
"Where is the cannon?" Georgiana interrupted Mullah.
Maura stopped confronting Augereau and looked at her again.
"You are the commander of the garrison. Don't you even know where the cannon is?" Georgiana asked.
"What do you want the cannon for?" asked Mulla.
"It's done." Georgiana said to Augereau, and then walked in front of Paulina and Delmid. "Thank you for stopping him."
"Do you want to be like my brother?" Paulina asked.
This was abroad, how could she dare?
But she just smiled, and when Augereau said his greetings, they left.
Maura followed him halfway.
"I'll go get the cannon. You guys will wait for me at La Scala Theater."
Augereau looked at her.
"Hurry up," Georgiana said and got into the carriage.
La Scala was built on the ruins of a burned-down opera house. On February 25, 1776, after a carnival, a fire engulfed the old theater. 90 wealthy Milanese who had private boxes in the old theater wrote a letter To the Archduke of Austria, requesting the reconstruction of a new theater and the construction of a temporary theater for use until the new theater was completed.
This Ferdinand I was the husband of Queen Maria Theresa. After the War of Austrian Succession, she supported her husband to become emperor, but she was the actual person in power. She actually decided on the new theater design. She wanted Built to be the best in Europe.
When Georgiana arrived at the theater, it was in full swing and many people were shouting and cheering.
She was less curious than Theseus Scamander about what the demagogue had said, and instead told the soldiers to set up the barricades and wait for the cannon to arrive.
While they were busy, a man walked out of the theater. When he saw the formation outside, he was so frightened that he fell back. After a while, the cheers inside stopped.
A group of people ran out and looked around.
"This is Italy, not France. If you dare to fire, you will be condemned by the world." A young man said.
Georgiana ignored him, and no one, including Augereau, spoke.
"Who is your general?" said the same young man.
"Is Ceroni here?" asked Georgiana. "Let him come out."
"We will not betray our own people and dare to fire cannons!" a "martyr" said impassionedly.
In fact, it's not the fault of these "patriots". Mullah did go too far.
There was a "rumbling" sound from behind.
She turned around and saw that Mulla had indeed arrived dragging several cannons.
Upon seeing this, the "patriots" immediately ran back and closed the theater door, as if this would block the shells.
"Are we really going to fire?" Augereau asked Georgiana cautiously.
"Don't you dare?" she asked, after all, he was no longer the one with nothing.
"If you dare to give the order, I dare to shoot." Augereau said with determination.
Georgiana walked to Mullah and whispered to him.
Mulla smiled.
"Yes, as ordered." He said with a playful smile, and really went to command the artillery.
"Put on your gendarme clothes and go in with them," Georgiana said to Augereau.
"Don't you have to wait for the inspector general?" Du Bois asked.
Although they had never met, Georgiana thought it would be better to meet them separately.
Then a window opened.
"Don't fire, we are actors, please allow us to evacuate!" a woman shouted, holding a white cloth.
"Are you going to let them go?" Du Bois asked.
"What if the real rebel went with them?" Georgiana said calmly.
Du Bois stared at her, as if trying to tell whether what she said was true or false?
"Don't worry, there won't be a river of blood today." Georgiana smiled and turned to look at the opera house. "When we catch Ceroni later, ask him who is his king?"
"I'm firing!" Mullah shouted.
Before Georgiana could reply, the woman holding the white flag disappeared from the window.
"hold on."
About ten minutes passed and nothing changed.
"Is this theater authentic or something?" Georgiana asked the people around her.
No one can answer this question.
So she raised her hand towards Murrah, and he received the signal, telling the soldiers to light the fuse.
"Salala~"
It was the sound of burning sparks, which sounded a lot like fairy wands.
After a brief silence, the cannons fired a volley with a bang that shattered the theater windows.
Screams erupted in the theater.
Du Bois looked at the cannons in surprise and then at Georgiana.
"Empty bombs?" Augereau asked.
"It's a gun salute." Georgiana said coldly. "No one fired a gun salute to welcome me, so I ordered one for myself."
Mulla happily urged the artillerymen to fire the next round. After a "boom", there was another scream inside.
In fact, the movement of empty shells is not as loud as real artillery shells, but La Scala Opera House has the best reverberation effect in the world, and the sound sounds particularly loud after "resonance".
After firing four times in a row, no one inside screamed anymore. Augereau put on a gendarme's coat and drew his sword.
"Be gentle, the lady is here!" Georgiana reminded.
When they rushed forward, Maura came over and lit a cigarette for her.
"Thank you." Georgiana answered, which was considered etiquette.
"How did you think of it?" Mullah asked with a smile.
"The British Constitution," George said, smiling, looking at the theatre.
As Talleyrand said, don't rush to the end, because the farce is not over yet.
