Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The other advantage was that they were intermarried. There was a huge social circle between the nobility through the marriage net, and it was also very closed.

At the end of nineteenth century, many of the profitable businesses were run by these people colluding with the top capitalists.

Ba Zan's hometown was located in the Versailles, where he owned a hundred acre forest and fifty acre vineyard. Every summer, he would go to his hometown's villa to take a vacation.

Carrying a shotgun, I went out into the forest to hunt on horseback. There were all sorts of foxes, rabbits, pheasants … If you don't enjoy it, there are people who buy animals like elk, wolves, and even bears to put in there for you to hunt.

Every time they hunted, it was a grand social event. The aristocrats that were close to each other would carry their wives with them. They would gather together and leave, happily touring under the care of hundreds of followers.

Hunting stimulated human hormones. Wild barbecues were always flavorful, and aged red wine was consumed like it was free of charge … Under the influence of alcohol, there would even be spirited people pulling women around in the wild for a while!

What a life it was!

In the 21st century, there was a popular saying on the internet: "Do you think that rich people will be happy?" Yes, you can't even imagine their happiness! '

It's the same in 19th century Europe. Do you think noblemen will be happy? Yes, you can't even imagine their happiness! '

Ba Zan had his own mountain forest, winery, a castle, six private villas built in beautiful areas, and all sorts of investments in Paris.

It should be said that as long as he didn't make irrational investments, his family would never have to worry about food or drinks!

One of the most important activities of their aristocracy was to socialize, to eat and play. They had to get married, form a joint venture, make political deals … and other ways of creating social networks that allow them to maintain their privileges for generations to come.

Ba Zan was only a baron, and a duke like Montauban would never be able to imagine such extravagant times. Montaub not only had countless properties in France, but also had its own nest in all of the major cities in Europe.

Even on the outskirts of Paris, there was a private zoo on the Montaubon estate, with large numbers of tigers, lions, bears, and other wild beasts.

Montaubon in Paris had bought three separate villas for his three lovers, each worth more than four million francs, and all of that was negligible to his fortune.

If the nobles were to write a book, they might not even be able to write all of the ten million words in their lives. They had even formed a kind of culture, a traditional noble culture that was more deep-rooted and ingrained than the Eight Banners Culture of the Qing Dynasty.

'Nobility 'was just a door, and outside the door, there were two completely different worlds!

Just now, Wang Huaiyuan and Xiang Ying had used words to provoke Ba Zan and the others, saying that all the people in the France under the big nationalist groups paid attention to the equality of everyone, and no one was interested in the titles of nobles.

This was pure nonsense. No matter what era the Nobility was in, it was worth for people to chase after it with their lives. This was because the happiness inside the door was something no one had expected.

With the collapse of the Republic of China, Ba Zan and the others were very clear that their Nobility would end here.

Xiao Letian had already analysed these people thoroughly long ago. He looked at Ba Zan whose expression had changed and coldly said, "Things are not that simple. The Republic of China is not only stripping you of your privileges … The Great Clearance will be waiting for you! "

"Why isn't the 180 thousand garrison unit of the Paris City daring to break out of the encirclement to counterattack? Even when the Prussian army does not have the advantage in numbers, do not dare to use force? "

"Old General Trochu is not a coward, he also has his own difficulties! After the news of the fall of the Empire was spread, hundreds of middle and high commanders and military officers with noble titles fled with the Empress! "

"What are they afraid of? They're afraid of death! "

"All the property left behind in Paris by Montauban has been confiscated by the Left, all the villas looted, and the houses built up to house destitute working-class families!"

"Twenty districts have formed the central committee, and preparations have been made for the unified allocation of resources throughout the city!"

"Pawns under fifteen francs must be returned free of charge to the poor, and pawns under thirty francs can be redeemed at half price. All rental homes are not allowed to increase the price or force tenants, and even more so, in winter, you are not allowed to drive tenants away! "

"There are also many factory supplies that have been sealed and turned into public property in the name of the war …" Those people have already started settling accounts with the capitalists, do you think you can still do well? "

"Right now, it is the war, so they may not have the free hand, but once they find an opportunity, they will need blood to repay the debt of blood that you have previously owed!"

"Don't say that I'm trying to scare you with my words. You all will be able to recall the history after the revolution. The blood inside wouldn't even be able to be contained by the ten Seine rivers …"

Ba Zan and the others had gone pale, their heads lowered in silence. Director Wang, who had been coughing, opened his mouth once more. "Führer, I've heard a saying before that the British told me..."

"Europeans, especially the French, rarely eat freshwater fish. Some say it's because they have a lot of thorns... Cough cough cough … But the British have a saying... "

"They say that before the Revolution, the French actually ate freshwater fish, but the people killed during the Revolution blocked all the rivers in France …"

"At that time, the river was flooded with fish. They grew up eating human flesh, so they will never eat freshwater fish again …"

"Cough, cough, cough …" God knows if it's true … "However, looking at how serious the British are, it should be true!"

Xiao Letian could already feel the turmoil in the hearts of Ba Zan and the others. He knew that these high ranking French officers were proud and patriotic.

If it was possible, they were certainly willing to lead one hundred and seventy thousand soldiers to fight to the end, vowing never to surrender!

But in the end, what was the outcome? In the current state of civil strife in France, not only will there be no reward, but I'm afraid there will also be a great reckoning!

These were the direct descendants of the French Emperor. Who didn't have the blood to suppress the commoners?

"Don't make a mistake, don't …" Xiao Letian looked into their eyes. "In France right now, the Left and the Republic of China are fighting for power and gain with all their might. The royalist party s in Paris have been squeezed so hard that they can't breathe!"

"To tell you the truth, many of the royalist party have already escaped to the Versailles, and they even need Bismark's protection to survive!"

"Do you still want to be loyal to this Republic? I'm afraid the reward you get in the end is just trillions of yuan of food! "

"Who can protect you right now? Other than the royalist party, no one else would care about your lives … "Only if all of you unite and work hard will there be a way for you to survive!"

"I am not mentioning the great cause of the restoration of the Bonaparte Family. I am only telling you all a simple truth … If you don't want to die, then hurry up and group up to keep them warm. Only if you are a group of powerful and powerful community of people, will your opponents refrain from shooting at you! "

"The stronger you are, the more afraid they will be to touch you. All you need to do is reveal a hint of fatigue …" The result is that there's no hope for you! "
