Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1234

"How can you say that?" Chen Changjie said, "Although they were our enemies, they were also soldiers. As soldiers, you must respect each other. Now you send engineers to blow up their graves and spread the word Everyone in the world thinks that our imperial soldiers are villains who must take revenge. You should think about it carefully!"

Slowly come to the coffin of the famous World War I marshal Fuxi.This coffin is actually a sculpture, eight statues dressed in French military uniforms, holding Fuxi's coffin high.He patted the thigh of one of the statues, and then said lightly: "This is simply a work of art. If this work of art is destroyed, we will be the sinners of history." After a pause, he continued: "Besides, I also I'm worried that my grave will be blown up in later generations after my death, so forget it!"

一行人顺着台阶来到了军荣院的下层。整个下层是用大理石建造的圆形墓穴，深壁上刻有“迭戈1796年4月14日15日、里沃利1797年1月14日、奥斯特利茨1805年10月17日－12月2日、耶拿1806年10月14日、埃劳1807年2月14日、弗里德兰1807年6月14日、瓦格拉姆1809年7月5日6日、博罗迪诺1812年9月7日。”

Every time he passed a statue, he read the name of a glorious battle commanded by Napoleon and the date of his occurrence, and the accuracy surprised everyone present.Everyone had to quietly follow behind him.

After more than ten minutes like this, he finally turned around, and then he focused his gaze on the coffin with Napoleon's remains in the center of the hall.This coffin is a large red-purple porphyry sarcophagus, the base is blue-gray marble, inside the sarcophagus there are white iron coffins, peach wood coffins, two-layer lead coffins, ebony coffins, and oak coffins. Napoleon’s remains are placed in the innermost .Napoleon's will is engraved on the marble around the coffin.

Napoleon's tomb is designed solemnly, with curves and straight lines intersecting, and the colors are low and dignified.

"Where are my flowers!" said Zhang Xuesi who was standing beside him.

"Sir, here!" Zhang Xuesi immediately handed over a bouquet of white lilies.

Reaching out to take it, he smiled at everyone.Then he said: "I'm sorry everyone, I want to stay here alone for a while." Having said that, he bowed slightly to everyone.

"Okay! Let's stay outside for a while!" Bai Chongxi immediately stood up and smoothed things over.Everyone left the tomb very consciously.Only Bai Chongxi was still cursing as he walked: "I thought it was something fun. I didn't expect that it was to pay homage to the dwarf and a defeated general who was defeated by us. If I had known earlier, I would not have come." But his words have not yet come. After finishing speaking, Chen Changjie grabbed his ear and dragged him out.

After everyone had left, he walked to the coffin with flowers. He silently placed the bouquet on the marble steps in front of the tomb, and then sat on it.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." Touching the extremely smooth coffin, he said the first sentence, as if the person inside the coffin was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "However, I felt that I was not qualified to come here The first is that I don’t have much money. The second is that you are the No.1 general in the world, and at that time I was just an incompetent little person who only dreamed of various daydreams. But now, due to the arrangement of fate, It gave me the opportunity to be in charge of thousands of troops, and I was able to express my ambitions. Now I can be regarded as successful and famous. However, I know that my level is far behind you, and maybe I will never Can't beat you."

Having said that, he sighed heavily, and then looked up at the ceiling.The huge dome is carved with beautiful and holy angels.

"I came to you today not to laugh at you. I want you to know that I will follow your example and continue on your track. Now that I have defeated the British at Waterloo, the rest The only thing I want to do is to defeat the Soviets. Please give me some time. In three years, at most three years, I will come here again to tell you the news." Just as he finished speaking, there was a clear sound of cannons outside .Here are the dragon soldiers outside firing those cannons at the gate.

"Hehe!" Hearing the sound of the cannons, he laughed, stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and said, "If God could give me a chance to choose, I would choose to be your opponent and you Let's really compete on the battlefield." After speaking, he left here without looking back.

Most of the Dragon Army troops who participated in the military parade in Paris did not stay in this city, and they did not have the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful things that this beautiful city can bring to them.Most of their troops continued south.Travel through Paris to complete the quest to conquer all of France.

The entire garrison of Paris was handed over to the troops led by him, and the French gendarmerie and police in Paris also expressed their cooperation with the Chinese in maintaining order in the city.In order to ensure the tranquility of the entire city of Paris, the armored and infantry regiments of the Ninth Grenadier Division were stationed in the western and eastern suburbs of Paris respectively, while the two battalions of the No. 14 Grenadier Regiment were stationed at the Palace of Versailles.Another battalion was stationed at the two airfields in Paris.The gendarmerie of one regiment is stationed at various intersections in Paris, and the other gendarmerie regiment is directly stationed in the city of Paris.

The intention of doing this is very obvious, not only to prevent stragglers from entering Paris, but also to prevent those Chinese troops who don’t obey orders and like to watch the excitement from rushing into Paris without receiving orders, causing unnecessary panic to the citizens of Paris .

Another task of Guan Xuqing is to find the works of art in Paris as soon as possible, especially the works of art in several museums and famous ancient buildings.For this task, of course, I am very happy to accept it.Now he is as if a mouse has fallen into a huge grain and rice tank full of grain. In his eyes, it is all those exquisite paintings, marble sculptures and bronze statues.

On the first day of taking over the city, 300 members of the special operations team of the Imperial Security Service arrived in Paris by plane.The first task they took over was to find some of the works of art hidden by the French authorities that were originally placed in the Louvre, including the famous "Mona Lisa" and "Venus" sculptures.

Another part of the agents of the Imperial Security Bureau went to the streets and alleys of the Chinese-occupied area of ​​Paris to find the owners of some famous paintings and recorded the detailed information of these people.Moreover, a team of Chinese employees belonging to the empire's "Oriental Import and Export Co., Ltd." began to appear in several important art markets in Paris. They waved their checkbooks and began to purchase various famous paintings.

During this period, batch after batch of experts also rushed here after hearing the news, searching for the artworks left by the "fleeing hostile elements".

Of course, before this, the imperial agents had already started to act.A large number of people in gray trench coats appeared near several museums and auction houses.The local French gendarmerie and police also knew the young general's thirst for artworks, so they informed the confiscated artworks and the transaction information of the Paris art market in advance, and asked the other party to decide how to dispose of these artworks.In this way, the authentic works of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Monet were carefully confiscated by these departments on the grounds of special protection.A large number of bronze sculptures and marble sculptures were also loaded onto large and small military trucks without anyone noticing, and were transported to the airport silently.Then they were packed and stuffed into a large transport plane.Of course, the fuselages of these transport planes all bear the tactical logo of paratroopers.Its speed was so fast that even the art consultants sent by the empire, who came day and night, didn't even have time to take a look.

Of course, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Some people in the upper echelons of France are quite critical of his name-grabbing with the Imperial Security Bureau.Within a few days after the Dragon Army captured Paris, French Minister of Justice Raphael Alibert raised objections to the Chief of the Chinese Gendarmerie regarding the looting of artworks in Paris.He pointed out that this was a blatant violation of the spirit of the occupied areas, but the answer he got was "We have no right to interfere with the affairs of Commander-in-Chief Chiang and the Imperial Security Bureau."

Danz did not publicly express any dissatisfaction. He only asked for the collected artworks to be photographed, classified, and archived, so that they could be used as bargaining weight in possible future peace negotiations.

Li Zongren was more annoyed by this matter.He had complained to Xu Shichang more than once, but Xu Shichang's answer was very simple, "Didn't you also make a lot of paintings in the Netherlands?"

Hearing what Xu Shichang said, Li Zongren immediately closed his mouth.more importantly.He didn't know that there were many treasures in the Emperor's Old Summer Palace, including Michelangelo's "Goddess of Victory" and Monet's "The Estuary of the Seine at Honfeller" and other expensive works of art.

Accompanied by Danz, the group "visited" the Louvre. Danz knew what was going on in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

The tour guide is a beautiful blonde girl with a typical French romantic tradition, lively and generous.The introduction along the way is very professional and detailed, which makes me feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge.

Built in the 13th century, the Louvre was the castle of the French royal family at that time and was used as a treasury and archive.However, in 1546, the architect Pierre Lesco rebuilt the Louvre under the commission of the king, thus giving the palace a Renaissance style.Afterwards, the royal family authorized several expansions, and after the turmoil of the French Revolution, the overall construction of the Louvre was not completed until Napoleon III.
