Europeans, especially Belgians, have to make appointments for everything, even to see their parents.
This made Xiao Peng very helpless, which was unimaginable in Huaxia.
Chinese people attach great importance to family affection, and even have to make an appointment to see their parents?
The family affection is too weak.
Just as Mignolet and Carrasco were about to go back to change their clothes, Xiao Peng stopped by to see Waterloo, the last battlefield before Napoleon withdrew from the stage of history.
It was here that the Seventh Anti-French Coalition defeated the invincible Napoleon and put an end to Napoleon's empire.
Otherwise, the ambitious Napoleon had a good chance of unifying Europe.
This Waterloo is so famous that almost everyone in the world knows that there is a place called 'Waterloo', but few people know that this Waterloo is in Belgium.
(The most outrageous answer Yang has ever seen, saying that Waterloo is in Canada.)
Well, that's true, there is a city of Waterloo and a University of Waterloo in Canada, but how could the French go to North America to fight the anti-French coalition?
） Xiao Peng came to Waterloo with great interest, and then really responded to the sentence, called 'Come with excitement and return with defeat', what kind of place is this Nima!
The small town of Waterloo is in the south of Brussels, less than half an hour's drive, like all small towns in Europe, quiet and comfortable, the pace is slow, there are almost no people on the road, occasionally you can see a car running by, and it is a good place with good mountains and rivers and boring.
The famous scenic spot Waterloo Ancient Battlefield is just outside the town, and it was here that Napoleon failed and had to stop the campaign.
In Xiao Peng's imagination, this should be a magnificent place, but when he came here, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, the so-called 'Waterloo Ancient Battlefield' turned out to be a large lawn, and in the middle of the lawn was a mound of more than forty meters.
On top of the mound stands an iron lion statue, which is said to have been smelted and cast from the cannon left behind by the defeated Gallic army on the battlefield.
Just such a small mound, there is also a domineering name------ Iron Lion Peak!
There are several houses with blue roofs and white walls under the Iron Lion, among which there is a circular building, which is the famous 'Waterloo Battle Memorial', next to the memorial, there is a bronze statue of a dwarf about two meters high with a pedestal standing proudly on a cylindrical pedestal, and the person on this bronze statue is none other than Napoleon.
On the bronze statue, his body is slightly oblique, his arms are crossed and his chest is crossed, his eyes are looking straight ahead, his expression is chic and confident, like a victor with empty eyes.
This is a statue of the defeated general, and the Belgians are also quite strange, Xiao Peng still doesn't understand, does Belgium think he is heroic when he erects a statue of Napoleon?
Or was it because he had failed miserably at Waterloo?
In this memorial hall, from the army clothing, armed power, battle plan to weather, the whole process of the Battle of Waterloo is introduced in great detail!
The most famous of this place is an oil painting that surrounds the inner wall of the memorial building, 110 meters long and 12 meters high, detailing the whole picture of the battle of 1815, for Xiao Peng, there is really no attraction here, after buying a few keychains with the image of Napoleon and a bunch of postcards, Xiao Peng left this 'famous tourist attraction' and came to the town of Waterloo.
Compared to other European towns, Waterloo Town is very good.
Because there are many small shops selling souvenirs, selling all kinds of postcards, medals, dolls, books, etc., all of which are related to Napoleon.
Sadly, almost everyone now knows that Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, but few know who defeated him.
It was only after arriving at Waterloo that many people found out: Oh, it turns out that the man who defeated him was the Duke of Wellington, a man from the Eagle Country.
That's because there is a small two-storey building in the town of Waterloo, where the Duke of Wellington once lived, and was once the headquarters of the Allied Forces, and now the Wellington Memorial.
Apart from this small memorial, no memorabilia about the Duke of Wellington can be found anywhere else in town.
This small memorial was built by the descendants of the Duke of Wellington.
Of course, not being famous does not mean that the Duke of Wellington is not awesome, in fact, the 1,083 hectares of forest and land around the town of Waterloo belong to him.
Moreover, the duke's title and fief are forever hereditary.
To this day, the Duke of Wellington is one of the 24 dukes that still exist in the Eagle Country, and the current Duke of Wellington is the ninth Duke of Wellington, but the most famous of their family should be the tenth generation of Sun Mornington, who has the right to inherit the throne of the Eagle Country, and is a partner of the oldest investment company in the Eagle Country.
Oh, and he himself is a Belgian prince.
As for the worth。。。。。。
According to some statistics, their family owns 20,000 acres of land in Belgium and Spain, and the Eagle Country has a 7,000-acre Hampshire estate in its own country, and there are mansions in London, as well as in the Stars and Stripes.
Anyway, the poor are the ones who only have money and land.
To this day, the land here in Waterloo is also his。。。。。。
A few years ago, in order to commemorate the bicentenary of Waterloo, the descendants of the four commanders of that year were reunited, and the descendants of the King of the Netherlands, the Duke of Wellington, Marshal Blücher and Napoleon got together.
That's pretty awesome.
Not to mention the descendants of the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon VIII, who was in his early thirties, was already a very good analyst in the financial circle.
Of course, she is a pediatrician, and his father Charles Napoleon, that is, Napoleon VII, can be called a rich and powerful, and his daughter-in-law is Princess Clementine of Belgium。。。。。。
The descendants of Marshal Blucher are directly the title of prince; Uh, as for the descendants of the Dutch kings。。。。。。
Or the king.
This is the so-called European aristocracy, which is still rich and powerful after hundreds of years of ups and downs.
What kind of royal marriage, some people jokingly say that the First World War is a family of relatives fighting each other------, and it is for this reason that the royal relationship in Europe is complicated, so there is a special royal family in Europe.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Specializes in the relationship between the various royal families of Europe.
But now, with the progress of society, this European royal family is not as particular about marriage status as it used to be.
Marrying a supermodel, marrying an actor, Prince Charles of the Belgian Ligne family also married a Chinese girl, this is the first time in thousands of years in the whole of Europe!
This famous Waterloo town really disappointed Xiao Peng to his home.
It took less than an hour to play.
The few people didn't go shopping, and drove directly with Mignolet, who had changed their clothes, to Yumei's parents' house, which was a small town called Baalheltoch.
Yumi's parents live in that town.
This is again a problem of cultural differences, in China, rich people desperately want to live in big cities, while in Europe and the United States, people prefer to live in remote small towns after they have money.
Like Mignolet and Carrasco, the purpose of selling the violin was to have their own farm and open a bakery, which is unimaginable in China.
Xiao Peng drove behind Mignolet's car, while Yali and the three girls were busy with their mobile phones with their heads down.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Peng asked after seeing all this in the rearview mirror.
Yali put her phone in front of Xiao Peng and let him take a look: "We're going to send the photo we just took at Waterloo to S." ” Xiao Peng glanced at it: "Hey, you guys are so beautiful and you want a p picture?"
He was shocked to find that the software displayed on Yali's mobile phone was the Meitu App.
Jimma shrugged: "Almost all of our model photos have been retouched, is there anything strange about that?"
” Yali was stunned: "You also know this software?"
” Xiao Peng nodded: "You have to ask Mengzi about this, he hates this software to death, in his words, since he has this software, the appointment has become insincere, looking at the photos are all beautiful women, and seeing real people just want to kill people." ” Yali laughed: "I'm also very convinced of you Chinese girls, your Chinese girls' P picture skills, that's really first-class." ” Xiao Peng shrugged: "No way, the skills of this p map are all ancestral, and our ancestors were masters of p maps more than a hundred years ago." ” Jimma laughed, "What are you kidding?"
What was there more than a hundred years ago?
” Xiao Peng shook his finger: "I really didn't tease you, in the last years of our Qing Dynasty in China, there was a 'Kang Sage'.
Although he took the exam three times but didn't even get into Xiucai, he only saw Emperor Guangxu once in his life, but his brain was indeed extremely active, and he came up with a way to put his photo and Emperor Guangxu's photo together, claiming that this was their group photo. ” Jima looked surprised: "The saint of your country is really weird, why is this saint still engaged in p maps?"
” Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Dayu is called 'sage' by the common people, and the 'sage' of Sage Kang is self-proclaimed, his life is simply crying and shouting to lead the change, and then he is responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun every day, coaxing Emperor Guangxu to turn around, and when it is his turn to catch people, he runs faster than anyone else. ” Yali frowned: "Xiao, it's rare to see you speak so viciously, why do you have such a big opinion of this person?"
” Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Do you know what his so-called 'governing outline' was back then?
Without waiting for the two to answer, Xiao Peng himself replied: "His biggest expectation is to merge Huaxia and Wa into one country, and let Ito Hirobumi take charge!"
And have been working hard for it.
When the Wuxu reform failed, he ran overseas, took a photo of himself and Emperor Guangxu and lied that he had Emperor Guangxu's edict, and the emperor asked him to raise money to save the driver, God, he met Guangxu once, or three years ago, where to steal what 'edict'?
Emperor Guangxu's unpredictable prophet let you drink and drive three years in advance?
When he went abroad, he raised donations with overseas Chinese every day, saying that he wanted to save the king, but he took the money to set up a 'royalist party', and used the money raised to squander it and buy real estate in countries all over the world!
This 'royalist' is also getting darker and darker, and even if overseas Chinese want to return to China to invest, they must obtain their own consent and give him shares and dividends before they can do so.
If you dare to skip him and return to China to invest?
He'll dare hire a killer to kill you.
Liu Shiji, a famous Lingnan educator and patriotic industrialist, died in murder at his hands.
In the early years of the Republic of China, he began to engage in imperial restoration with Yuan Shikai, such a 'saint', how can you let me say good things about him?
” Jimma Ward laughed, "Xiao, how do I feel that something is not quite right?"
These were all more than 100 years ago, why are you still so cynical today?
None of these things are what he makes you the most angry, right?
” Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay."
You're right.
The reason why he really provoked me was not the one above. ” "So what the hell is it?"
Yali asked curiously.
Xiao Peng gave the answer: "Okay, the real reason is that Kang Shengren has been engaged in the equal rights movement all his life, and you also know that we were polygamous in ancient China, and Kang Shengren has been committed to promoting monogamy. directly overthrew thousands of years of polygamy in China. ” "He didn't do anything wrong!"
Jimma Ward said.
Xiao Peng glanced at her and said indignantly: "He let others be monogamous every day, and he married six wives and gave birth to twelve children!"
When he was 62 years old, he also spent money to buy a seventeen-year-old girl to be the sixth wife, to be precise, from the age of forty to sixty-two, he married the fourth aunt's wife, all of whom were 17 years old!
Can you not get angry when you meet such a person?
He deserves his son to cuckold him!

” After hearing this, Yali smiled again and again: "Hey, Young Master Xiao, do you want to marry us all?"
I don't see it, you're greedy enough. ” Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "During driving, it is forbidden to talk to the driver!"
” Damn, you have to be careful when talking to these girls!
Otherwise, if you accidentally dig a pit and bury yourself, you will be unlucky!
(Note 1: Tsuruko Ichioka, the fourth wife of Kang Shengren, suddenly returned to China in 1925, and gave birth to a daughter named Ayako Ichioka not long after returning to Japan.)
Later, Ichioka Tsuruko committed suicide in Japan in 1974, and on the eve of the suicide, she told her daughter Ayako Ichioka the mystery of her life experience, and Ichioka Ayako's father was actually Kang Tongzhuo, the son of Kang Sageren, and Ichioka Tsuruko suddenly returned to China because of this------ went back to give birth.
After Ayako Ichioka knew about her background, she also went to Taiwan Island to see her half-brother and return to her family) (Note 2: Now Napoleon's descendants should actually be regarded as the descendants of Napoleon's nephews, Napoleon had three sons in his life, two of them were illegitimate sons, although they were two sons, but in the European royal family, if the son is an illegitimate son, he cannot inherit the throne.)
This notion is so ingrained that even the parents of the child think it is.
In China, because men can marry more and have more children, the emperor can empress concubines, even if there is a status gap between the concubine and the concubine, but if there is really no concubine, the concubine also has the right to inherit according to the eldest and youngest.
In the Western concept, because there is only one wife, and non-married women are all lovers, there is no concubine, and the inheritance is not an illegitimate child, even if it is a daughter or a relative. ） (Napoleon, who was strategically rated, was an emotional idiot, and his first wife, Josephine, was a widow who married him with a daughter and a son.) , her sister married Alexander the Viscount of Beauharne.
As a result, within two years, her sister died, and she 'filled the house' and married Alexander, and gave birth to a boy and a girl, but not long after, the French Revolution broke out, Alexander let people die, Josephine became a pure widow, and at the age of 26, she met the 20-year-old Napoleon, and the two got together.
After marrying him, he was not honest, he wore countless green hats on him, and later became infertile due to miscarriage, this French emperor can't be without heirs, right?
So Napoleon divorced his ex-wife.
However, even after the divorce, his ex-wife still did not take the title of queen, and Napoleon was deeply in love with the woman who had given him countless green hats. ） (After divorcing her, Napoleon married his second wife, Mary Louis, the Archduchess of Austria and the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Franz II.)
And gave birth to a son, that is, Napoleon II.
It's also interesting to say that the French are also very interesting, while rectifying Napoleon to death and overthrowing the First French Empire, while desperately supporting Napoleon's descendants, hoping that Napoleon II will be the leader, even when Napoleon was exiled, Mary and Napoleon II were not involved, but went to live with Napoleon II's grandfather, Franz II. ） (Even if Napoleon was exiled or even died in the end, Napoleon's little fans were all over France, and Napoleon died?)
That's okay, we support Napoleon II and make him the leader of the country!
It's a pity that Napoleon II suffered from his mother's hereditary tuberculosis, and died at the age of 21, so far, Napoleon's bloodline is basically broken------ as for the two illegitimate children, one is missing, the other is married and had children, and gave birth to three boys and a girl, but all three sons died after the First World War, and it is unknown whether there are any descendants left. ） (And the first president of France, Napoleon III, Emperor of the Second French Empire, was actually Napoleon's nephew.)
He is the son of Napoleon's third brother, and he is Napoleon's nephew and grandson of Napoleon------ because Napoleon III's mother is none other than the daughter born to Napoleon's ex-wife and her ex-husband Alexander before marrying Napoleon, that is, Napoleon's stepdaughter.
It's a bit of a twist, and I can't understand it.
No way, European royalty is so messy.
Well, Napoleon's niece and granddaughter is the queen of Sweden and Norway.
The descendants of Napoleon today are actually descendants of Napoleon III. ） (As for Empress Josephine's romances, let's not talk about it, if you really want to write them all, it will be a little-yellow-book.)
Finally, I would like to add that everyone has the impression that Napoleon is a short man with a height of 1.6 meters, in fact, Napoleon's height should be about 1.7 meters, or even higher.
In fact, Napoleon's height was not short in those days, and the average height in France in the eighteenth century was 167. ）
