I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【In December 1812, Napoleon returned to Paris】

【During his absence, a small rebellion broke out in Paris, but it was quickly brought under control】

【This is enough to prove that the Gallic chicken country is still loyal to him】

【Now, he has to start preparing for the coming war】

【Napoleon first incorporated 100,000 National Guard troops into the regular army, and then urgently recruited 100,000 retired veterans and 150,000 new recruits.】

【But the youngest of these recruits is only 15 years old, and they are extremely lack of training.】

【In the next two years, the French army has been performing mediocrely in various battles. An important reason is that the new soldiers cannot execute those complicated tactics.】

【The problem of soldiers is solved, the next step is equipment】

【The arsenal in the Gallic Kingdom could provide Napoleon with 150,000 muskets within half a year, but it was difficult to replenish artillery and war horses.】

【For this reason, Napoleon could only order the naval artillery to be merged into the army, with one man and one horse from each imperial administrative region, to create a barely qualified force.】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin frowned.

The Gallic Chicken Country has completely wiped out all its wealth.

In fact, from his point of view, Napoleon should no longer think about using military means to solve the problem at this time.

After all, most of the elite troops of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom have been buried in the Russian ice fields.

If you force yourself to fight again, your chances of winning are too low.

At this time, Napoleon could not afford any failure.

Another defeat and Napoleon's empire would be destroyed.

Therefore.

This is the time to use diplomatic negotiation methods.

Even temporarily giving up many benefits is fine.

A man can bend and stretch.

He also pinched his nose and endured the humiliation to sign the Weishui Alliance with the Turks.

But what happened next?

The Turkic Khan was captured alive and taken to Chang'an, where he danced for him in front of everyone.

The way to victory or defeat is not in the moment, but in the long run.

Li Shimin felt that Napoleon's wisest choice at this time was to negotiate peace, take the Gallic Kingdom to recuperate, and wait for the right time to fight again. certainly.

Since the sun never sets on the country, peace talks will inevitably encounter many difficulties.

But with so many countries in the anti-French alliance, it is impossible to be monolithic.

There must be a place that can be exploited to open a gap

"It's easy to break if it's too strong."

Li Shimin looked at Napoleon on the giant screen in the sky and sighed in his heart.

……

【It is worth mentioning that Napoleon still had 300,000 troops stationed in Spain, but he did not want to give up the Peninsular War for the time being.】

【Because he judged that Russia might not be able to conquer it either.】

【Napoleon's judgment was accurate】

【Russia lost a total of 450,000 soldiers in the War of 1812, of which only 150,000 were combat casualties. The rest, like the French army, were all thanks to"General Winter"】

【Even Russian Marshal Kutuzov contracted cold and died during the pursuit.】

【Now the situation has completely reversed. It is the Russian army's turn to maintain long supply lines and attack the French army across the border.】

【This is obviously something that the Russian family cannot do】

【But Russia is not one family, and there is a country where the sun never sets standing behind him】

【Napoleon's defeat in Tsarist Russia opened the door to the possibility of overthrowing the hegemony of the Gallic Kingdom.】

【Under the mediation of The Sun Never Sets, Rui Yi and Prussia successively joined the anti-French alliance.】

……

The plane of the Great Ming Dynasty's ancestors.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but said:

"This country where the sun never sets really knows how to choose the right time."

"If you ask me, the Gallic chicken country should not fight Russia, but should concentrate all its forces on a decisive battle with the country on which the sun never sets!"

Hearing this,

Zhu Di laughed dumbly.

Didn't Napoleon not want to do this?

It was Napoleon and the Gallic Kingdom who couldn't do it.

……

【In April 1813, Napoleon led his army across the Elbe River and defeated the anti-French coalition forces in the battles of Luqin and Baoqin.】

【Due to the lack of cavalry, the French army was unable to expand its results in time and was forced to enter a truce with the coalition forces.】

【On June 26, Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich came to the French camp】

【He brought a proposal to Napoleon: the Gallic Kingdom would withdraw from Spain and Italy and relinquish its status as protector of the Rhine Confederation. Prussia would be rebuilt and Poland would be divided again.】

【If Napoleon agrees, Austria is willing to guarantee the peace of the Gallic Chicken Country. If Napoleon does not agree, Austria will officially join the anti-French alliance.】

【Looking back with hindsight, this was already the best peace condition that the Gallic Kingdom could obtain at that time.】

【But Napoleon, who had a proud personality, regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.】

【According to the memories of the person involved, he almost cursed Metternich like a devil and denounced the Austrians for their betrayal. He said that he had visited Vienna three times and would not mind coming again.】

【Metternich smiled politely and left the last words before leaving: Your Majesty, you lost!】

【This disastrous meeting caused Austria to switch to the anti-French alliance】

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said:

"This Napoleon is too tough"

"It only lost some foreign interests of the Gallic chicken country, but did not lose its local interests."

"In fact, this condition is completely acceptable"

"Dad, what do you think? Zhu

Yuanzhang nodded slightly and replied:

"Boss, you are right. Given the situation Napoleon is currently facing, this condition is not excessive."

He is a person who rose from troubled times, and he encountered many setbacks along the way.

When it is time to give in, he will not hesitate.

So he does not think that there is anything in temporary compromise.

However, as for Napoleon's choice, he There are other ideas too

"Napoleon's refusal to negotiate may not be entirely due to his arrogance"

"Maybe the Austrian foreign minister is just using this name to test the French army's strength."

"Or take a step back, even if Austria is sincere, does he have the power to guarantee the Gallic Chicken Country?"

"The sun never sets on Congress?"

"Napoleon may have made the decision to reject peace talks based on a combination of various judgments."

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Biao his analysis.

……

【In mid-August, Schwarzenberg led the Bohemian Army with a total of 230,000 men heading north.】

【Brishir led the Cilicia Army with a total of 80,000 people to march westward.】

【Bernadotte led the Northern Army with a total of 110,000 people southward】

【Napoleon only had 350,000 troops in his hands, so he decided to divide his troops to block the north and east areas, and personally led the main force to fight the Austrian army in the south.】

【On August 26, the Battle of Dresden broke out. Napoleon once again relied on his excellent command to annihilate 38,000 Austrian troops with 10,000 casualties.】

……

"This man is indeed a genius in military command."

Many famous generals in the past dynasties couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

In terms of tactical command alone, Napoleon was really powerful.

Even the defeat in Tsarist Russia was due to the overall strategy, not specific tactics.

……

【However, bad news came from the northern and eastern fronts at the same time. Bricher and Bernadotte broke through the blockade, and now the French army is about to be surrounded on three sides.】

【On October 16, 1813, the Battle of Leipzig officially broke out】

【This was the largest battle in European history at that time. A total of 500,000 troops participated in the battle. The entire battle lasted for three days.】

【On the first day, Napoleon concentrated his superior forces and attacked the Bohemian Army on the southern front.】

【The coalition commander Schwarzenberg and the monarchs of Russia, Prussia and Austria are all in this military formation. If this army can be defeated, they can break through the coalition blockade and even reverse the situation of the war.】

【At two o'clock in the afternoon, the French army launched a general offensive. They continued to compress the coalition's front line backward. Just when the French army was about to make a breakthrough, the Austrian army's reinforcements arrived on the battlefield in time and stabilized the front line.】

【At this desperate moment, Napoleon decided to invest all his reserves. Seven cavalry divisions with a total of 6,000 cavalry launched a fierce charge, but this charge was firmly blocked by the Russian infantry.】

【The two sides refused to give in to each other in a bloody bayonet battle, and they were inextricably killed.】

【At 5 p.m., the French army's last attempt ended in failure, and Napoleon completely lost the chance to make a comeback.】

【The next day, all the main forces of the coalition forces arrived on the battlefield and surrounded Leipzig.】

【There was no point in continuing to hold on, and finally Napoleon ordered a retreat.】

【The French army suffered heavy casualties under the pursuit of the allied forces. In three days, they lost 47,000 men, 325 cannons, two marshals and 33 generals.】

【There is no doubt that this was the worst and most decisive defeat in Napoleon's historical battles.】

【His political life was over, and his empire was irreversible. As Metternich said: Your Majesty, you lost.】

……

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che felt sorry for Napoleon.

If Napoleon had not buried the elite army of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom in Tsarist Russia, then with Napoleon's military command ability, it would be difficult to say the outcome of the battle in front of him. even.

Liu Che felt that maybe Napoleon would win again.

Unfortunately, no amount of tactical victory can undo the consequences of grand strategic failure.

……

【On November 9, 1813, Napoleon returned to Paris again,】

【Unlike a year ago, this time he completely lost the support of the people. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【The Legislative Yuan passed a long article denounced him in December. Almost no one responded to the conscription order he issued, and all his former allies stood against him.】

【Even his brother-in-law, Murat, who he single-handedly helped ascend to the throne of Naples, was no exception.】

【On January 23, Napoleon said his final farewell. He would lead 70,000 new troops to the front line to face the million-strong army of the anti-French coalition.】

【He knew very well that this departure would probably be a farewell forever.】

【So the queen and her son were entrusted to the National Guards present.】

【In the next month, Napoleon led this newly formed army to win consecutive battles, chasing an enemy army several times his own, and once wiped out tens of thousands of allied troops.】

……

"sharp! Really awesome!"

Many famous generals in the past dynasties once again sighed in their hearts.

In their view, Napoleon is definitely a top-notch general.

Although he is not from China, they still respect such a military commanding genius.

After all, heroes respect heroes, and famous generals Respect the famous general

……

【However, these victories came too late. The Gallic people had lost their will to resist. Countless towns surrendered, and some even surrendered to a mere Cossack cavalry.】

【On March 30, a coup occurred in Paris, and the provisional government later presented the city to the coalition forces for peace.】[]

【A few days later, Alexander I led the Russian army into Paris】

【Eighteen months earlier, the Russians had burned Moscow rather than surrender to Napoleon, and now his troops were greeted by Parisian citizens who thanked them for overthrowing the tyrant. 】

The barrage flew out:

"France surrenders, bloodline awakens"

"Glorious traditional arts were born"

"……"

Many ancient people were silent.

They didn't quite understand what the people of Gaul were doing.

If it were a civil war to overthrow a tyrant, that would be normal.

But this is a foreign invasion.

The brothers are jealous of each other and stay outside the wall to resist their insults.

There is absolutely no reason for the Gallic chickens to do this.

……

【4 4. Marmont led his army to surrender. Napoleon had encountered countless betrayals in his life, but only this time he could not forgive him.】

【He met the 16-year-old Malmo during the Battle of Toulon and almost single-handedly brought him up.】

【However, at this moment when he was at his lowest, Malmo personally destroyed his last bargaining chip.】

【Now he has no choice but to surrender unconditionally】

【On April 20, 1814, Napoleon left Fontainebleau Palace and embarked on the road to exile.】

【Before leaving, the Old Guards formed two groups to watch their emperor complete his final journey.】

【Napoleon gave them a moving speech:

Soldiers of the Old Guard, I have witnessed your bravery and loyalty for 20 years. Now Paris has fallen, and the whole of Europe is advancing on us.

I have no intention of letting war tear our country apart anymore, because the interests of the country far outweigh my personal interests.

Soldiers, you are always loyal to honor and duty. Please be loyal to your new monarch and protect the motherland.

You are all my children, but I cannot hug each of you. Please allow me to hug this eagle flag.】

【Everyone present shed tears with excitement, even 557 some foreign officers. Napoleon affectionately kissed the eagle flag for the last time, and then disappeared into the night.】

……

"The end of the hero."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties looked at Napoleon's journey on the giant screen, and these four words came to mind.

But at the same time, they were also quite surprised that Napoleon could still survive under such circumstances.

The Anti-French Alliance unexpectedly They were a little surprised that Napoleon was not executed.

Aren't the Anti-French Alliance afraid of Napoleon's comeback?

This doubt of these ancients was quickly confirmed

……

【If nothing happens, Napoleon may spend the rest of his time on the island of Elba, his place of exile.】

【But fate once again pushed him to the forefront】

【Within a year, all classes in Gaul were offended by the restored Bourbon dynasty.】

【As a result, they began to miss the time when Napoleon was in power】

【On March 1, 1815, Napoleon landed by ship and marched towards Paris with a squad of 700 men.】

【A few days later, he encountered the first army that came to stop him】

【Napoleon ordered his men to put down their weapons, walked alone to the front of the two armies, and accurately reported the opponent's number.】

【Then he opened his hands and said: Soldiers, if any of you wants to kill his emperor, then do it. 】

The barrage flew out:

"famous scene"

"Too outrageous!"

"……"

Along with the narration and subtitles, the film and television clips of this scene were played on the giant high-altitude screen.

The ancient people were shocked by this scene.

This is really brave. but.

Is this possible?

……

【After hearing this, the soldiers turned against each other one after another】

【Situations like this happen one after another】

【On March 20, Napoleon arrived in Paris, where he was most loyal, and his side had grown from a small team of 700 men to an army of 150,000 men.】

……

"What a strong appeal!"

The ancients were shocked.

Such a situation was something they never expected.

It can only be said that Napoleon's appeal in the Gallic Chicken Country was too strong

……

【After Napoleon returned to power, the four countries of Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia quickly completed war mobilization, and the war began again】

【Finally at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was defeated again】

【Frankly speaking, the Battle of Waterloo was not a decisive battle. Only the Chinese people like to emphasize its significance.】

【Even if Napoleon won at Waterloo, what could he do against the millions of troops that followed the Anti-French Alliance?】

【Failure is doomed】

【On June 22, Napoleon announced his abdication again, and this time the people exiled him to the island of St. Helena, far away from the mainland of Gaul.】

【Here, Napoleon spent the last 6 years of his life】

……

"Still not executed?"

Many ancient people were surprised to see Napoleon's final outcome.

But they thought it was okay.

It would be a pity if a figure like Napoleon ended up being executed.
