Chapter 959 Begins Here and Ends Here (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

The smell of disinfectant in the air seemed a bit too strong.

Since the 1860s, when Emperor Zhu Da pioneered "trauma disinfection" in Nanhua, pre-operative and post-operative disinfection as well as ward disinfection has been promoted worldwide. The smell of disinfectant has also become a unique smell in the ward.

Entering this bedroom with a strong Arabian style, Emperor Zhu saw Eugene lying on the hospital bed. His body was wrapped in many bandages, and blood was still oozing from the bandages. The temperature in Jerusalem at night in February was only a few degrees, and the air seemed a little cool.

After Zhu Xianhai came in, Eugenie, who was sitting on the bed, looked at him helplessly, then she looked at Eugenie and said softly.

"Eugene, he's here."

Hearing his mother's voice, Eugene opened his eyes. He looked pale and extremely weak:

"Your Majesty, look, I...I said that one day, I...we would meet...in Jerusalem!"

Although his words were intermittent, he still wanted to force a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, the intense pain made him groan.

"Eugene, I know, I know you can do it!"

Walking to the bed and looking at the young man lying on the bed, Emperor Zhu said with some emotion.

"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you would become the greatest monarch of France, and you did it, Eugene..."

"Thank you……"

Eugene said, looking at the man in front of him.

"But, but I, I can't go on any longer. Your Majesty, you must take good care of my mother and Judy. He, he is too, too young..."

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to protect them!"

This promise was absolutely from the heart. How could Emperor Zhu not sincerely protect his own child and the child's mother?

"I know, I know, I've always known."

After saying this, he turned his gaze back to his mother.

"Mother, you must be happy in the future!"

This...what does this mean?

Before Emperor Zhu could ask a question, Eugene was heard saying.

"Let Judy and them in!"

A palace servant came over and asked him to go out. Then he saw Judy, who was wearing a beautiful military uniform. Although she was very young, she stood there. When she saw Zhu Xianhai, she nodded with red and swollen eyes and then walked in.

Following him into the bedroom were several marshals and generals including McMahon, Bazin, Edmond Leboeuf, etc.

"elder brother."

As soon as Judy saw Eugene, she ran quickly to the bed, threw herself on it, and held his hand tightly.

"Judy, my brother, it's a pity that I can't accompany you anymore..."

Eugene's tone seemed a little lost at this time. He had always doted on his only brother, but now... He held his hand tightly. Eugene looked at him and said.

"Judy, from today on, you are the emperor of France!" After saying that, Eugene forced himself to sit up. He looked at the marshals and generals who came in and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Napoleon Judith Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte - my only brother, he will inherit the throne of the Second French Empire and the only legitimate heir to the Second Empire... Now, I ask you, my marshals and generals, I ask you to swear allegiance to him!"

Oath of allegiance, this is a European tradition, nobles swear allegiance to the new king. And this kind of allegiance usually happens after the emperor ascends the throne, but now everyone knows why Eugene did this, he is about to die.

Faced with the emperor's order, the marshals and generals present looked at each other without much hesitation. They knew that no one in France would dare to question the emperor's order.

While the marshals and generals were swearing allegiance there, Emperor Zhu had been standing quietly outside the palace. This was a palace belonging to local dignitaries, and the sky-high palace looked quite luxurious.

Where did its former owner go?

Emperor Zhu didn't care. He just looked at the palace with admiration, and finally murmured to himself.

"What a pity, I will never see you again..."

The reason why Emperor Zhu had such an exclamation was simple: the French army would destroy everything.

They will basically ensure that everything is destroyed, from monasteries to buildings, so that those who survive will have no choice but to become Christians.

Even in Constantinople, in the Russian-occupied areas, this had already begun.

"We showed mercy, and they responded with brutality! From now on, Rome will not offer any cheap mercy!"

This was an order issued by Tsar Alexander III. The order was very simple. While destroying all Muslim temples as retaliation, it also promised that as long as they converted, their property and land could be preserved. In order to preserve their personal property, the vast majority of people chose to convert.

Of course, there were also many people who refused. Faced with the rejection, the Russians’ response was very direct, which was to kill them directly, confiscate their land and houses, and hand over the land and houses to the Russians.

The Russians are very good at all this.

Of course, the French are not novices either, they were just subject to various restrictions in the past. But what about now?

With the explosion of the bomb of the "Jerusalem Incident", the French finally had a plausible reason to solve problems in Algeria and other places.

What will they do?

Perhaps it was just like what the Spanish did in America - through a "book burning" campaign, the Mayan civilization was reduced to ashes overnight. The Mayan sacrificial activities, entertainment life, architectural art, living habits, etc. were all recorded in books, but the sudden large-scale burning made everything disappear, and the Mayan civilization disappeared from the world.

"Alas, all of this is the crime of the Western colonizers. We must criticize it, we must..."

When Emperor Zhu was lamenting the changes in the world and the imminent disappearance of the ancient civilization, he heard crying in the yard. It was Eugenie's crying.

Listening to the grief-stricken crying, Emperor Zhu's heart sank slightly and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Eugene was a good child.

What a pity.

His brows were furrowed, he knew that now... the world had entered a new chapter.

The future...what will the world look like in the future?

Emperor Zhu never knew, but what was certain was that this world was completely different from the other world.

His eyes cast toward Jerusalem in the distance, an ancient city that had been endowed with so much that its significance far exceeded the city itself.

Looking at the old city on the mountain at this moment, another thought popped up involuntarily in his mind - it starts here and ends here!
