At this point, she had a certain political point of view, which was the common point of view between her and her fellow prisoner Osh. They began a long-term relationship. A few months after her release, she had been in close contact with the upper echelons of Paris, including Ballas.
In mid-October 1795, Napoleon was invited to Rose's cottage in a secluded suburb for the first time. From then on, they met frequently at her invitation. At this time, Napoleon was already a well-known figure in Paris. Not only did he have shiny riding boots, but he also had a four-horse carriage to take him regularly to the theater, where he had a private box. This was an irresistible temptation for Rose. She continued to sleep with Ballas and Osh, but she began a new romance with the Corsican general.
At that time, Napoleon and Ballas had a very close relationship. Since the Governor moved from the Tuileries Palace to the Palace of Luxury on November 5, he visited Ballas almost every day. Ballas was there leading the garrison and the police.... He managed to maintain that air of nobility despite his wild nightlife, and he exuded a martial air in his old-fashioned military uniform and shiny riding boots. He was also very smart and a political survivor... Rose came to the Luxury Palace almost every night with her inseparable friend, Tarian. Naturally, this could not escape the keen eyes of Napoleon, including her relationship with the revolutionary hero Osh.
But it was Rose who first wrote to Napoleon on October 20: You haven't come to see your friends who like you for a long time…Come and have lunch with me tomorrow…Good night, my love, hug you. It was signed by Boarnet's widow.
No one needs your friendship more than I do. Napoleon replied on the same day. But a few weeks later, his tone changed, and his reply was full of passion. I wake up every day with only you in my mind…Sweet and incomparable Joseph, you have such a magical effect on me! Napoleon didn't like the name Rose-or the name's associated reputation. He changed her name. Indeed, despite the woman's reputation, Napoleon soon proposed to marry her, but she did not take his proposal seriously. Later, when he learned that her family was deeply in debt despite having a territory in Martinique, he was shocked and decided to provide her with 2,000 Francs a year. At the end of the year, Napoleon began to share her nights with Ballas and Osh. Even in France, it was a headache for three people to share a mistress.
At the same time, with the approval of War Minister Carnot in 1796 for his plans for the Italian campaign, he became extremely busy. In the last week of February, Napoleon was appointed commander-in-chief of the Italian Front-a dowry from Ballas, the humorist said. Despite the objections of her relatives, friends, and children, the long-hesitant Joseph finally agreed to marry Napoleon. She told her friends that it was still a joke.
Before 7 p. m. on March 6th, in the office of a county magistrate in Paris, Joseph was wearing a white wedding dress (Napoleon's favorite color for women) and a tricolored sash. She wore a necklace around her slender neck, and a medal engraved with the words "Leave it to God." Tarion, Madam Tarion, Ballas, and her notary witnessed the bride's marriage. Napoleon only sent an 18-year-old colonel. At ten o'clock, the groom still did not show up, and the sheriff got up and left. At this time, Napoleon arrived in a trance, and all the marriage documents were completed in a hurry. The age of marriage for Joseph was written down by four years, while Napoleon was written down by one year, and his birthplace (Ajaccio) was written as Paris.
The bells of St. Roque were still ringing as the general and his wife walked toward their residence at 6, Street Chanterelle. Two days later, the carriage carrying the groom left the capital for Nice and embarked on the journey to Italy.
New Alexander the Great
The military situation in Europe was complicated. France faced the forces of the first anti-French alliance formed by the Kingdom of Austria, the King of Sardinia, the King of Princes, and the United Kingdom. The Hapsburgs ruled northern Italy, including the Duchy of Milan, Mantua, the Duchy of Modena, and Lucca. At the same time, the descendants of the Austrian royal family ruled the Duchy of Tuscany in Florence. Spain's House of Bourbon ruled the southern part of the Peninsula, including Napoli and Sicily, and also controlled the Duchy of Parma in the north. The papal territories, including Rome and Bologna, were extremely hostile to France. In the north, the King of Sardinia had ceded Sava and Nice to the French. He was bent on revenge, and the situation in Piedmont and Lombardy was in jeopardy. France's strategy was to mobilize two northern armies across the Rhine River, conquer the Austrian army, capture Vienna, and plan to join forces with the Italian army led by Napoleon after sweeping through northern Italy. The French government concentrated its main forces on the northern battlefield, while the Italian army led by Napoleon, which was made up of social dregs and rabble, could only be regarded as a side show. When Napoleon arrived at Nice at the end of March 1796, the Italian front was indeed in a terrible state. Napoleon found the army demoralized, and its commanders-Andrew Masséna, Augeiro, Seruriers, Lahap, and Bertier-dispirited. When they saw this short, stern-looking 26-year-old foreigner who was not as old as them in terms of age and military qualifications, their spirits did not lift. Most people said that Napoleon was a political general, and the legend that his new wife was Boarnet's woman was known in Paris. In fact, Napoleon only had four friends: his adjutant Murat, Juneau, 22-year-old Marmont, and his 17-year-old brother Louis. Napoleon and these people did not realize that in a few years, they would become legendary military figures, become marshals of the empire, and make Europe and even the whole world tremble.
Most of these future marshals came from working-class families, and their backgrounds were varied.
Andrew Massena was born in Nice in 1758. The small, dark-skinned child was a peddler. He had lived in a well-off environment under King Sardin's stable rule since he was young, but his father's early death at the age of six changed his life.
His mother remarried in a hurry and abandoned him, leaving Andrew to be raised by his uncle. For the next few years, the child worked in his uncle's noodle shop and learned how to make spaghetti. The children of the lower working class had no chance to go to school. When he was 10 years old, Andrew ran away from home and went to France via Val. His relatives there found him a job as a waiter on a ship. Later, he became a sailor and traveled across the sea. At the age of 17, he swore that he would never go out to sea again. He was small and strong, and had already grown into a man. His future did not seem bright; he was still illiterate, and he did not seem to be able to do much for the world.
