Chapter 799 “Russian Lobbyist” in Württemberg
The lightly armed Jerome Bonaparte and William I rode their horses and were escorted by the Württemberg Guards cavalry, and soon came to the forest on the outskirts of Stuttgart all the way north.
William I, who was riding on a horse, tightened his horse’s head and stopped at the edge of the forest. He turned his head and asked Jerome Bonaparte, who had fallen half of his horse, “Would you like to see who has more prey!”
“Of course!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded in response to William I. He then grabbed the reins with one hand, while the other hand pulled out the holster of the Mignet rifle placed on the horse and carried it on his shoulder. , just like a western cowboy posture.
By the way, the army of the Kingdom of Württemberg is similar in configuration to the French Empire, and their main weapon is also the Miner rifle, and the origin of these rifles is also from the French Empire.
William I looked at the high-spirited son-in-law in front of him, smiled slightly, and continued to drive his horse forward.
Jerome Bonaparte also patted the horse lightly with the barrel of the gun, and the warhorse that received the signal to accelerate immediately trotted after William I.
And those Württemberg Guards cavalry followed far behind Jerome Bonaparte and William I.
In this way, it will not disturb Yaxing, who is hunting Weng and son-in-law, and can also protect the two of them well.
In this way, Weng and son-in-law walked through the forest in one sentence.
After walking for about 500 meters, Jerome Bonaparte and William I found their first prey at the same time. It was a deer that was grazing with its head down. At this time, it seemed that it did not realize that it was in danger. Among them, he was still eating grass all the time.
“You come first!” William I gave the first target to Jerome Bonaparte.
“Then I’m welcome!”
Jerome Bonaparte did not show any humility. He quickly turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the cavalry guards who had been following behind them, and then took out the Miguel bullet from the bullet bag at his waist.
Tear off the package of the Minet bullet and pour in the gunpowder and bullet, then use the guide rod to completely compress the bullet and gunpowder in the barrel, and finally lift the rifle horizontally and install the mercury on the trigger.
The whole process was completed in less than 30 seconds, which made William I, who was riding on a horse, look surprised.
With Jérôme Bonaparte aiming at the prey and pulling the trigger.
A gunshot appeared in the entire forest at home. The prey, which was nearly 200 meters away from Jerome Bonaparte, fell to the ground less than a second after the gunshot.
Tears gushed out of the deer’s wounds, and it fell to the ground screaming incessantly.
At this moment, Jerome Bonaparte just stared at the fallen livestock with a dazed expression, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
For hunters, there is nothing more pleasing to the ear than the screams of animals.
“Not bad! Not bad!” William I, who was riding on a horse, also praised Jerome Bonaparte’s marksmanship. “Your reloading speed and shooting accuracy are comparable to those of some veterans!”
“A hobby! It’s just a hobby!” Jerome Bonaparte responded modestly to William I.
Then Jérôme Bonaparte got on his horse again and continued to walk with Scarf I.
As for the deer that was about to die, there would naturally be someone specializing in collecting the entity, and it would be brought to the table by the time of dinner, and these naturally didn’t have to bother Jerome Bonaparte.
When Weng and his son-in-law continued to walk for about 50 meters, William I asked Jerome Bonaparte again: “Jerome, what do you think of the current situation in the Russian Empire?”
Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, thinking to himself: This old man is not a lobbyist who wants to be Alexander II!
“This is Russia’s internal affairs, and I have no right to interfere!” Jerome Bonaparte politely replied to William I.
“What happened to the rifles and artillery of the Golitsyn government?” William I asked Jerome Bonaparte again.
Sure enough, it was Alexander’s lobbyist!
“Those are just commercial exchanges, and they don’t represent the attitude of the French government!” Jerome Bonaparte said to William I without blushing, “Our government can’t even ask for orders from companies. Take it! If you take care of everything, will the empire continue to develop!”
“What about the Polish and Hungarian volunteers who appeared in the Golitsyn government!” William I asked Jerome Bonaparte again.
“You should ask Franz Joseph and Maximilian!” Jerome Bonaparte continued to shirk responsibility.
William I glanced at Jerome Bonaparte, sighed and said to Jerome Bonaparte: “Hey! I knew it, you would say so!”
“Cough…cough, Lord Tarzan! I really don’t know!” Jerome Bonaparte continued to beat him to death without admitting it.
Anyway, as long as he killed himself without knowing it, then Alexander II would have nothing to do with him.
Alexander II can’t turn against him now! Jerome Bonaparte believed that even after the end of the war, Alexander II would have to carefully consider the price he would have to pay for turning his back on him.
Because the postwar reconstruction of the Russian Empire is inseparable from the support of the French Empire.
“I knew it! You would say so!” William I repeated again, and then changed the conversation: “However, Augusta may be unable to defend!”
Jerome Bonaparte’s expression froze, he forgot that Queen Augusta was staying with his mother Paulina, and Queen Paulina’s family was the Russian Empire.
In case Augusta relented, Jerome Bonaparte would not end well.
Of course, Jerome Bonaparte was not worried that William I and Pauline would harm them.
After all, the interests of the Kingdom of Württemberg and the interests of France have basically been bound together.
“It doesn’t matter! I’m sure Queen Augusta won’t know!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to his father-in-law with a smile on his face. The subtext is that he doesn’t want to discuss these things.
“Alright then!” William I nodded, not tangled in discussing these issues.
The two continued to hunt until about 5 p.m.
“It’s getting late! It’s time for us to go back!” William I said to Jerome Bonaparte after shooting a hare in the distance.
“That’s true!” Jerome Bonaparte also nodded.
Weng and son-in-law turned their horses and turned back along the route into the forest. The hare shot by William I was also picked up by the cavalry guards and returned together.
After all the inspections, Jerome Bonaparte finally shot 8 game animals, and each of them was a hit.
And William I shot 7 game, of which 2 only hit the second round.
So the winner of this game of hunting is undoubtedly Jérôme Bonaparte.
At 5:30 pm, Jerome Bonaparte and William I arrived at the Royal Palace in Stuttgart.
Weng and his son-in-law entered the palace together, and then Jerome Bonaparte asked where Queen Augusta was now.
“Your Majesty is in Her Majesty’s Queen Paulina’s room now!” The head of the royal family replied hurriedly, and then asked, “Your Majesty, do you need me to call Her Majesty the Queen for you!”
“No need!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, then entered the living room with his father-in-law to rest.
It was nearly an hour and a half before dinner time. Jerome Bonaparte and William I had a chat while drinking tea.
After about an hour, the royal steward appeared in the living room, and he reported to Jerome Bonaparte that Queen Augusta wanted him to go.
Jerome Bonaparte quickly put down the teacup in his hand and smiled apologetically.
“Go!” William I waved his hand, indicating that Jerome Bonaparte could leave.
Under the leadership of the head of the royal family, Jerome Bonaparte came to the door of a room.
“Your Majesty, the Queen is inside!” The head of the royal family replied respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
“It’s hard work!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, then pushed open the door and entered.
“Jérôme, here you are!” Queen Augusta said, glancing at Jerome Bonaparte who entered the room.
“Yeah!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then asked Queen Augusta what was the reason for calling him here.
Queen Augusta told Jerome Bonaparte of her conversation with her mother.
In fact, as William I expected, the entire conversation between Queen Augusta and her mother Paulina revolved around the Russian Empire.
It’s just that Queen Paulina didn’t ask William I at the very beginning. She first chatted with Augusta about childhood events, and then gradually extended the topic to some people in the Russian Empire, and then led the topic to the entire Russian Empire. .
After Queen Augusta found out that her mother intended to guide her, Queen Paulina had already begun to ask what the French Empire thought about the situation in the Russian Empire!
“What did you say?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Queen Augusta.
“I said to my mother, I don’t know!” Queen Augusta responded to Jerome Bonaparte, “I told my mother that all the policies of the imperial government are decided alone!”
“What else did my mother-in-law say?” Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask.
“My mother hopes that I can persuade you to give up supporting the Golitsyn government and maintain the sacred monarchy!” Queen Augusta replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
“Holy monarchy!” Jerome Bonaparte showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, “There are two governments and two tsars in Russia, which one is the real holy monarchy! “
