Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 219 You Gauls are really aggressive (Part 031)
The Butte Chaumont was turned into a garden after 1868, when the Second French Empire under Napoleon III transformed the place.

Not only is there no park now, but it also has a bad reputation. After all, in the past when bed sheets were the symbol of France, this place was used for hangings, and there used to be a large rack on which a large number of corpses could be hung. This place was no longer used during the reign of Cardinal Richelieu and was not demolished until the reign of Louis XV.

Now, this is a landfill, and all the garbage in Paris is under this hill. The location they agreed on is outside the landfill.

This place still has a bit of smell, but with the westerly wind today, the smell should not be so impressive, as it has all gone to the east of Paris, and the smell will be even stronger in the future - there are factories and large slaughterhouses here, and as long as the wind direction changes, the entire northern part of Paris will be very smelly.

As for improving the environment in the urban area of ​​Paris, this place must also be resolved.

At the same time, it is also a suitable place for duels. After all, not many people are willing to come here.

Solovyov spent four days on the battlefield of the Trebia River. It was still summer, and sometimes the corpses began to stink before a day had passed, but he was able to adapt to the smell.

Of course, the price is that after returning, he also pursues fragrance and does not like bad environments.

He will be here for the whole morning today and will have six duels in a row.

Unlike the situation in St. Petersburg, duels in Paris sometimes take place without deputies. Solovyov's most familiar deputie, Lieutenant Count Fyodor Tolstoy, was a subordinate in the Putin Regiment and naturally could not come along.

If he had come, he might have already started to "target and eliminate" these duel opponents, killing them before they duel with their friends, so as to prevent their friends from falling into danger.

The young count was also an excellent duellist and desperado, and, like Dolokhov, was considered one of the most formidable junior officers in the Guards.

However, Solovyov never wanted his friends to get into trouble, so he refused Pierre's help.

After all, he didn't believe in such a thing as luck and couldn't let his friends be in unnecessary danger.

Moreover, in France, such duels were legal in principle. Even in the current French Republic, there is no written law or case law that can determine whether a duelist is guilty of wounding or killing someone. In the Kingdom period, it could even become a fashion without wounding anyone. For example, the lover of the Duke of Richelieu and his cousins ​​shot at each other with pistols, but in the end they didn't hit anyone.

This is France. Since the law cannot be enforced, we can only follow the local customs and accept the challenge of these people.

As for the unlucky guy who came first, he didn't ask to check his gun.

"Please, Mr. Vogel, we can start now."

As a result, this guy shot and killed a crow with one shot. Even his human body outline shooting skills were really shocking.

"Well, it's my turn now, sir."

Solovyov's shooting was very accurate. The first gentleman who came to duel with a black eye was shot directly in the head, and the bullet passed under the eye socket.

This was just the first kill. Solovyov went to see the guy's condition and found him dead on the spot.

First murder
After this gentleman arrived on time to deliver his head, the next person would soon arrive, and still at the same place.

As for the people who come later when they see the body of the person in front, no one knows what they will feel. Anyway, there will be body collectors in Paris to take the body away. Even if he committed suicide by jumping into the Seine, everything will be arranged clearly for you.

And Mr. Fouché probably had no time for duels, after all, there were always people who wanted to send the First Consul into the sky with a bomb instead of using a dagger or poison.

"Sir, you can see that there is a Mr. Vaugere lying here, and you should really take back what you said yesterday. It was your fault for bumping into me and causing a duel."

At that moment, he felt as if he had a horse-like face and melancholy eyes, and as a "killer", he was indeed not cold.

How come he became Jean Reno after entering Paris?

Solovyov didn't care about that and quickly completed double tuerie, triple tuerie, tuer quadra and quintuple meurtre. These people were all shot in the head and chest and were still lying there.

So much so that the last gentleman who came to duel had his legs shaking a little when he went on stage.

"Sir, you requested a duel, and here, I do not think that I can withdraw any offense or apology, and I will not accept mediation. You must know that I am very happy to kill today. In other countries, it is not like France, where you can duel openly like this and it is not even against the law."

Even when he returns, he doesn't know whether anyone from the Paris Police Department will come to him to record his statement, especially since he is a diplomat.

However, the Duel Gunner, who had such a fierce firepower output, had already killed five people in one day, so this last one was just an easy task.

But Solovyov was not killed all. He could not even hold the gun steadily, and he was still at the standard European dueling position of 30 steps, but he had already fired a shot which hit the soft soil on the ground.

"Sir, it's my turn now."

The last shot startled the crows again, and the man fell to the ground holding his stomach. Solovyov also called a doctor and the body collector. As for what happened, if people in Paris knew about it, it would be a big deal.

A foreigner killed five people and seriously injured one in a duel in just one morning. The last person died in the hospital soon after. It sounds very scary and this incident is also suitable for being published in newspapers or publicized on the streets.

However, Solovyov used a false identity again, and this is also recorded by the Paris police department.

At least there was no need to worry about causing any diplomatic turmoil, but the fact that Baron von Stirlitz killed six people in one day also spread in the streets of Paris, where gossip was more developed. However, his reputation was also known, and Parisians soon began to spread the word: "Ne plaisantez pas avec les étrangers aux yeux verts!" (Don't mess with strangers with green eyes!)

He has a pair of conspicuous green eyes, which makes him safer in Paris.

Back at 205 Rue Montmartre, Pierre had gone out to do some errands, leaving Adela alone, curled up on the sofa in the living room and asleep.

Not to disturb his sleep, Solovyov returned to his bedroom. This day was really very troublesome.

News spread very quickly in Paris and had already spread to the Avenue de Mont Blanc.

That evening, Madame Staël came to Madame Recamier's official residence at 7 Mont Blanc Street. Her banker husband, who was 30 years older than her, was not at home, so it was a perfect place for the ladies to gather.

There is still competition among these ladies, just like the relationship between Miss George and Miss Mars in the theater, who sometimes compete and sometimes cooperate.

The only difference is that many of the young ladies in the theater support the First Consul. Miss George, who is only fifteen years old this year, is already a familiar friend of the First Consul's brother Lucien. However, the ladies in the salon have different opinions. Madame de Staël opposes the First Consul, and Josephine has become the First Consul's wife. As for Madame Récamier, she is sometimes warned because of her close relationship with Madame de Staël.

But she also has her own advantages. For example, she is very charming even when she is wearing a Greek-style long dress and lying barefoot on a lounge chair. Compared with the other ladies, she is very young and beautiful. Except for her eyes, she has no flirtatious features, but she is very attractive.

In particular, although the body is slender, the prominent parts are very full, and the material shown in the portrait is even fuller.

"Julie, what are you looking at now?"

"It was a letter delivered this morning. It contained a poem and a novel outline written by a young baron. I found it quite interesting. The short story is a love story between a shepherd boy and a village girl in ancient Greece. It has some ancient style. As for the poem, I also found it quite interesting."

Madame de Staël did not quite trust Madame Récamier's appreciation ability. She had a very bad relationship with the painter David because she was always urging for the completion of the work and her taste seemed to be very extravagant, all in terms of art.

When it comes to literary works, ladies like Madame de Staël, who can publish her own philosophical works, are more discerning.

"It's interesting, Julie, but you didn't realize that there are some political metaphors in the introduction of the novel. It mentioned that Brutus loved Caesar, but loved the Republic more. In the end, he made a decision. I think this young baron from Alemanni still has some ideas. And, you know, it was reported this afternoon that at the Butte de Chaumont, a young man duelled with six people in a row and won all of them."

Although Madame Stael was not a fan of such a foolish way of dealing with a duel, she also commented that the man was a brave warrior, though a little reckless.

But Madame Récamier was still like her mother, young and a little frivolous, and even the things she did in her salon were somewhat adventurous.

Her figure wasn't particularly plump, but even as a lazy beauty, she still looked pretty, and she thought of a young adventurer who happened to be a bit bloodthirsty.

To be honest, Solovyov was not really a bellicosity person. He did not expect that when he arrived in Paris, he would become famous not through his literary works but through duels.

This is even more terrifying than the bellicosity of Fyodor Tolstoy, who often initiated and accepted duel challenges, but he only killed 11 people in his lifetime. Solovyov achieved half his lifetime KPI in one day, which is really a bit scary.

"Julie, I think you should be more careful with your suitors in the future. The baron who is famous for dueling has his signature right here."

"He really is an Alemanni. But he is also very interesting. I would like to meet him at a suitable time."

"In addition, I also want to say, Julie. I know your position, because your husband's special feelings for your mother will not be shaken. But you should also think more about the future."

However, Madame de Staël's stance was against Bonaparte, but she did not want the young Madame Recamier to be too deeply involved. After all, she had a close relationship with General Moreau, General Bernadotte and others.

If we talk about General Moreau, we have to say how unlucky this "famous goalkeeper" was, that is, the opinions he held in the Republic did not explicitly oppose General Bonaparte, but many of his friends were involved.

Since all his friends are involved, this is all for him, which is the consistent logic of the First Consul.

Not only did Madame Recamier's father save Bernadotte, but these republican generals and generals of the Rhine Army system also often appeared in her home. In addition, her husband (and most likely her biological father) Jacques Recamier had a special status in the banking industry, so it was not surprising that she became the center of activities for anti-Bonaparte groups.

Solovyov didn't know how troublesome this lady's territory was, but if he entered the salon, it might cause some abstract changes.

"I think I should write back to this baron at 205, Rue Montmartre. I still find him interesting, but as an adventurer, I want to hear about his experiences."

"You are still a little reckless, Julie, but there must always be some fresh blood in the salon. Young people like this who have some talent can be allowed to join. You should not always invite those generals and civil servants to your place. If there are more artists and poets, it will be more in line with the position of a young lady like you."

Then, there was Madame Recamier's reply, inviting the duelist to come to the official residence at 7 Mont Blanc Street in a few days, where there would be a reception. He was only invited here by chance.

Think about Lucien Bonaparte, the First Consul's brother, who once pursued her because of her beauty, but their relationship ended up being ambiguous and distant.
Madam, it is really easy for you to get in touch with people in the Bonaparte family. Everyone knows that General Bernadotte, whom her father saved, had a wife who was once in love with the First Consul. Her sister is also the sister-in-law of General Bonaparte.

At this time, there was a person who didn't know what his relationship with the First Consul was, and he wrote some seemingly unrelated things to her, but in the end he also received an invitation.

But this is also the most glorious moment for this young lady. Her husband is very powerful in the banking industry, but Recamier's bank has not yet announced how much money they owe the country. The national debt has exceeded 10 million francs and is still rising.

As for these people in the salon, many of them will be involved in the political turmoil in the next few years.
