On November 14, 1851, the Minister of the Seal of the Third Republic of France, de Morne, was ordered by Jerome Bonaparte, the ruler of the French Republic, to go to the town of Saint-Amand to pay his respects to the deceased Marshal Soult.

Shortly after Morney left Paris, news of Soult's death bombarded the whole of Paris. That afternoon, the whole of Paris knew the news of the death of Marshal Sirte.

Under the guidance of Jerome Bonaparte, some Parisians "spontaneously" went to the Place de la Concorde to pray for the death of Marshal Soult. White candles were held in the hands of everyone who "voluntarily" participated in the prayer and lit , candles lit up the Place de la Concorde.

At the same time, bishops from the Paris region were also invited to the main prayer ceremony in Place de la Concorde. Under the leadership of the bishop, the Parisians of the Place de la Concorde sang hymns together.

At 8 p.m., the prayers ended under the auspices of the Archbishop of Paris, and people also left the Place de la Concorde.

The Plaza de la Concorde, which was lively one moment ago, is deserted the next second.

On November 15, under the note of Jerome Bonaparte, the Legislative Council of the French Third Republic made an important decision.

In view of Soult's outstanding contributions to France, Soult was chartered to enter the Invalides as a Grand Marshal. His body will be transported from the town of Saint-Amand to Paris, and his life will be completely ended by a state funeral. .

The proposal entered the "Second House" after a show of hands by the Legislative Council, and the "Second House" also passed unanimously at the behest of Jerome Bonaparte.

After both houses have passed, the Senate will communicate the final result to the people and the town of St. Armand.

In order to show respect for the will of the people, Jérôme Bonaparte also randomly selected 10 people from each district to judge by means of a sampling survey.

The vast majority of people believe that although Marshal Soult made some mistakes, his achievements are not undeniable and should be given a generous burial.

The results of the sample survey were also published in the newspapers in Paris. According to the principle of the overwhelming majority of democracy, no one objected to Jerome Bonaparte's decision any more.

Jerome Bonaparte told the opposition and military dissidents of his place in the hearts of Parisians in the name of democracy.

Some of the opposition elements who were united by Jerome Bonaparte's military reforms, after seeing Jerome Bonaparte's fame, also gave up their plans to fight head-on.

Some of the generals who had been favored by Soult also had a favorable impression of Jerome Bonaparte. It could be said that no one in the whole of France dared to challenge the authority of Jerome Bonaparte.

On November 18, Morny arrived at the town of Saint-Amand and immediately proceeded to transport Marshal Soult to Paris.

[PS: The telegram was sent to Bordeaux faster than Morne arrived in Bordeaux. 】

On November 20, Marshal Soult's body was transported to Bordeaux by carriage and left by boat under the watchful eyes of all Bordeaux citizens.

On November 21, the body was escorted by the French fleet to the port of Calais. The mayor of Calais and the local garrison general went to the pier to receive the body of Marshal Sirte.

On November 22, the body arrived in Paris on the Paris-Calais transfer.

Ministers and generals headed by Jerome Bonaparte gathered under the Arc de Triomphe to wait for the arrival of the corpse.

The body of Marshal Soult arrived near the Arc de Triomphe at ten o'clock in the morning. Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand: "Play music!"

The military band began to play the expedition songs of the First Empire. They stood on both sides of the Arc de Triomphe on horseback in the uniform of the First Empire hussars. In the middle of each two horses was a private soldier with a Mignet rifle and dressed in the First Empire line. Infantry unit in military uniform.

The former First Empire seems to have gradually revived in France, and some of the generals who participated in the expedition even sobbed softly.

The carriage containing the body of Marshal Sirte was parked under the Arc de Triomphe.

Jerome Bonaparte waved again, and more than a dozen strong soldiers came out. They gently lifted the coffin against their shoulders.

The journey from the Arc de Triomphe to the Invalides will be resisted by their shoulders.

"Let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte looked very serious. He was wearing the emperor's imitation and wearing a Napoleon cap. He walked at the forefront of the team.

Following Jérôme Bonaparte were the bishops of Paris, holding Bibles and crosses, chanting prayers incessantly.

Behind the bishopric are generals and ministers, followed by coffins and soldiers.

The journey from the Arc de Triomphe to the Invalides originally only took more than 20 minutes, but this time it took more than 40 minutes. Parisians who like to watch the lively still will not miss this "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. The window sill was full of people, and everyone glanced at Jerome Bonaparte walking in front, and then at the beautifully carved coffin, and couldn't help but feel sad for Soult's death.

After arriving at the Invalides, Jerome Bonaparte stopped, and the team behind him also stopped.

Jerome Bonaparte came to the gate of the Invalides, looked at the closed Invalides in front of him, and knocked gently on the door.

"Who is it!" The bishop's solemn voice came from the door.

"Marshal of the French Empire, Marshal of France, Duke of Dalmatia Jean de Dieu Soult!" Jerome Bonaparte also solemnly reported Soult's title.

[PS: Funerals in the 19th century were cumbersome, especially when they were state funerals. The funeral used here is the funeral held in Austria after the death of the last Habsburg Crown Prince Otto. It can be said to be a simplified version of a noble funeral. 】

"May the Lord..." After the bishop said a lot again, the closed door of the Invalides opened, and the cardinal appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and made an inviting gesture.

Jerome Bonaparte set off again, in addition to the line infantry and hussars, the team behind Jerome Bonaparte moved simultaneously.

The coffin of Marshal Soult came to the coffin of Emperor Napoleon. The cardinal once again explained the life of Marshal Soult, and everyone present prayed.

At the same time, the line infantry outside the door also raised their guns and shot into the sky. They were saying their last farewell to Marshal Sirte.

Standing on the highest steps, Jerome Bonaparte looked at his uncle's coffin, which was only a step away from him, and couldn't help but swear in his heart: "Wait!" I will make the Empire great again!

After the prayer, Jerome Bonaparte and other government officials left the Invalides.

On November 23, a letter from London crossed the English Channel to Jerome Bonaparte.

The owner of the letter was the few remaining generals from the previous era, namely the Duke of Wellington.

Jerome Bonaparte was very surprised that the Duke of Wellington could write.

It stands to reason that the Duke of Wellington is about to leave, so why send him a letter.

Jerome Bonaparte opened the letter with curiosity. In addition to his sorrow for the death of Marshal Soult, the content of the letter was that he hoped that France would be friendly with Britain under his rule. relation.

Wellington hopes that the mistakes made by the previous generation can be corrected by the next generation, and the tragedy cannot be repeated!

Seeing the letterhead of Britain's number one between the lines in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte showed a cold war at the corner of his mouth, and then threw the letter into the drawer.

No matter when, Britain could never let go of its lofty face.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte politely wrote to Wellington. In the letter, in addition to thanking the Duke of Wellington for his relationship with Marshal Soult, he also hoped that Wellington would take care of himself and at the same time. I also hope that the friendship between Britain and France will continue.

The letterhead was sent to the Duke of Wellington through Rothschild's secret channels.

On November 25th, Jerome Bonaparte, who had been busy for more than half a month, finally had his own free time.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was preparing for an outing with Eugenie, Wallevsky suddenly appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte after disappearing for nearly two months.

With a tired face, he looked at Jerome Bonaparte in front of him and forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, regarding your wedding, I, Minister de Luiz and Princess Mathilde have already found out!" Wallevsky said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"So soon? Who is it?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Wallevsky in astonishment.

"We've screened out these after communication..." Wallevsky reported to Jerome Bonaparte the suitable candidate to become the queen: "Carolina Vacha, the former Swedish princess of UU reading www.uukanshu.com , who was born in 1833, is now just 18 years old, and is currently living under the protection of the Habsburg family."

"18 years old?" Jerome Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly, if he had not reached the legal age for marriage in his previous life: "Isn't the age a little too young!"

"Not too small!" said Wallevsky to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Anyone else?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"Yes!" Wallevsky reported to Jerome Bonaparte again that the candidates for the other queens were the niece of Queen Victoria, the daughter of the king of Sardinia, and the king of Württemberg. daughter of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Daughter of the Kingdom of Sardinia?" If Jerome Bonaparte's memory is not disturbed, he in the history of otl married her under the pressure of his cousin Louis Napoleon, but she seems to be younger Many, he subconsciously asked, "How old is she now!"
