Chapter 3363 Peter and Lombard (5)

Mortgage, according to the description in "Collection of Doctrine", can be effective as long as both parties agree on "physical" security. Written form is not required. The written form is only for proof.

The retired corporal did not have a "material object", he only had himself. When crossing the Alps in 1800, he was one of the people responsible for organizing the sleigh transportation of guns. He was commanded by Marmont at the time, but they soon discovered a problem.

The wood won't grow on its own if it grows there, but what kind of saw will they use?

It happened that one of them knew that there was a place called Saint-Pierre Bourgues nearby, where there were many loggers, so with their help, they found suitable wood to make a sleigh to carry the cannon.

In Napoleon's original plan, it was not to cross the St. Bernard Pass, but to make a large detour in the mountains. Let alone the fact that it is snowing in the mountains, even if it is not snowing, it will be difficult to gather the troops in such a roundabout way in the Alps with so many people, and there is no guarantee that someone will fall behind in the heavy snow and get lost in the mountains.

Just a year before the Battle of Marengo, Suvorov did just that. He wanted to cross the Ligurian Alps - every military strategist wanted to conquer the Alps. It's just that Suvorov lacked Napoleon's luck. He didn't meet a guide willing to lead him. He later retreated to train the Austrian army.

Paul I used Prussian methods to train the Russian army. Although many Russians who loved vodka did not like it, some still accepted it.

Although Suvorov was a bit old, he did not adopt the Austrian's old line tactics and cordon strategy, and organized and coordinated with the navy. In 1798, Vice Admiral Ushakov transferred the Black Sea Fleet to the Mediterranean and blockaded Genoa. The maritime defense line became the joint force of Russia and Britain.

Between Milan and Turin, close to the place where Asti sparkling wine is rich, there is a town called Alexandria. If Napoleon wanted to rescue Massena in the Apennines of Liguria, he would definitely have to pass through that place. Without obstruction, it takes eight days to walk south from Ifreya to Genoa.

But Napoleon chose to march eastward to Milan. He believed that Melas had gathered a large number of troops there and it was too risky to do so, so he chose to march eastward to Milan.

After the capture of Milan, legend has it that the Austrian chief of staff left behind a double agent who managed to convince Napoleon that Melas had left Alexandria and was planning to outflank the French at Pavia.

Pavia was also one of the only routes for Melas to return to Mantua, and the day before the Battle of Marengo, Desai was sent to the south to search. On the day of the battle, Lapp was sent to search in the opposite direction, resulting in him having no reserve team at the time of the battle.

Anyway, Julian strongly opposed Georgiana and Paulina's plan to go to Venice for the Carnival. If she really felt that there was nothing to do, she could let go of those who could provide guarantees one by one.

Then she thought, isn't this just bail? It's just that there is no such thing as bail in civil law countries, and "criminals" still tend to be monitored.

She had been busy all morning, and just when she decided to take a little rest, Chiconyara arrived with a bouquet of roses.

He seemed to be dressed up, wearing a rococo-style coat with a black background and a gorgeous and complicated silver collar pattern, as if he was going to a party.

The bouquet of roses was freshly picked, and Chiconyara was smiling so much that she couldn't say the words "You can't leave your residence without permission."

"Like something to drink? Coffee? Wine?" After she accepted the flower, she handed it to Osana and asked her to find a vase to put it in.

"I'm not here for a drink, I want to invite you to a party at my house," Chiconyara said.

She wanted to refuse, but then she asked, "Who will participate?"

Chiconyala went to her desk and found a document from the police transcript.

"Antonio Aurelio, his father Tommaso Aurelio is the State Councilor, but because he is old, Antonio participated in the founding celebration of Lyon instead."

Georgiana looked at the information. This information belonged to the 20-year-old Giovanni Aurelio, who participated in a "Free Association" and had a close relationship with Piero Marchini.

Piero was originally a gentle bartender, but around 1799 he traveled to the Apennine mountains of Liguria, where there were many charcoal burners and porters.

He stayed in the mountains for about three years and became a writer after he came out. He could also compose music and attracted many young people.

The young man who was escorted away by the corporal in the morning also belonged to this association. His biological father used his life savings to let him study law. A friend he met in college introduced him to join the club.

"You want me to let him go?" Georgiana asked Chiconyala.

"How about we handle it this way?" Chiconyala took the file away from her hand. "You have never seen it before, so you don't have to worry about foul play."

"I don't think that's a good idea," she said, looking at him coldly.

"Don't be so serious. I plan to dress up for the party tonight. What do you think?" Chiconyala turned twice in front of her.

This made her even angrier.

"This world is full of rules and responsibilities, dear, but there's more to people than just that."

"Love?" she asked sarcastically.

"Among the guests tonight is Visconti. If Mrs. Mural is able to move easily, she can also come. I heard that she likes archeology very much."

She immediately remembered the Visconti princess who tried to conquer the "Italian Conqueror", and she also found herself a husband who knew archeology.

"I'll go back and prepare first. I'll start at 7 p.m. Don't be too late." Chiconyala said, taking the transcript away when he left.

They all have to be released anyway, so why not hold an "amnesty" and release everyone.

She stared at Chiconyara's disappearing back and thought, then looking at the bouquet of roses, Osana found a harp-like vase and placed it under an oil painting.

In addition to being the god of the sun, Apollo is also the god of music and medicine. It is said that Apollo can relieve people of disasters and solve their problems.

Python was a giant python that lived in Delphi. After it was killed by Apollo, a temple to Apollo was built in the place it occupied. The priestess who announced the oracle at Delphi was called "Pythia", also because of Python. In many ancient Greek vase paintings, the python is usually a big snake, so in many ancient Greek-themed artworks, there are images of Apollo shooting or stepping on the giant snake.

But if she herself were the unfortunate blood orc who was cursed by blood and destined to turn into a snake, she might find Apollo's temple with almost slim hope and pray for his cure, or she might be like the one on the wall. As the painting shows, Apollo is "blessing" a snake.

Snakes are common in Milan, but is Apollo the patron saint of Milan?

"What a strange painting." She sighed, but had no intention of replacing it and went on to deal with other matters.
