Napoleon II Reborn Chapter 108

(Xiaoyu has the audacity to ask for a monthly ticket. I hope everyone can vote for Xiaoyu with your precious monthly ticket. Thank you for your support!)

Xiao Jie knew that the reason why Napoleon was in such a hurry to return to Paris was because he believed that he was able to deal with any upcoming crisis in Poland. This was a recognition of Xiao Jie's ability, and it was also a more severe test . If the Battle of Frankfurt was a test of Xiao Jie's military command, then the trip to Poland was a test of Xiao Jie's politics and diplomacy. At the same time, the stalemate in the war in the Netherlands is also the reason why Napoleon wants to return to Paris as soon as possible. Although Prussia and Russia have already failed, the British seem to be unwilling to admit defeat. It is reported that the British Parliament is discussing whether to send more troops to the Netherlands. If the bill is passed, it is very likely that they will land 50,000 to 70,000 people in the Netherlands again. This is really not good news for France now. The purpose of the British is actually very clear. They know that after the failure of the two allies, it is impossible to defeat France. But they also firmly believe that after the wars with Prussia and Russia, the strength of France is not as good as before, and they have to stay in the newly occupied areas, so there are fewer troops that can be transferred to the Netherlands. Britain can completely fight with its own army and the French army in the Netherlands. If they can defeat the French army, they can get a bridgehead on the other side of the strait, which will be very beneficial for them to attack the European continent in the future. Even if the French army cannot be defeated, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to the French army. This will be of great benefit for the formation of an anti-French alliance again in the future, showing that Britain is not just talking but doing nothing, looking at its allies and France itself without any substantial performance. And even if the battlefield changes at that time, the British army can withdraw the army back to the UK through his strong return force, and the loss will not be great. This not only hit France, but also made a difference in front of the allies. Why not do such a good thing?

In addition to the war in the Netherlands, the situation in France is also worrying. The huge consumption of the war made the domestic economy sluggish, prices soared, and people's lives became more and more difficult. Taking this opportunity, royalist elements took the opportunity to be very active in western France. Fortunately, a division of the Ninth Army quickly launched Once in that area, the situation stabilized. Similarly, in order to carry out the war, Napoleon has plundered domestic capitalists for a long time, which has also aroused their dissatisfaction. It is reported that they are uniting with those forces that oppose Napoleon and want to take this opportunity to overthrow Napoleon. rule. Similarly, the royal family is also unstable. Since Louis fled back to France from the Netherlands, he has also actively united with other brothers and sisters and some other large consortiums and large factory owners. There are signs of replacing Napoleon. Fortunately, because Xiao Jie is the crown prince, Joseph spared no effort to deal with it and restrict Louis everywhere, which made him dare not launch a coup d'etat. But this is not a long-term solution. Now, except for Napoleon, no one can suppress those forces in the country.

Thinking of these complicated factors, Napoleon was ready to set off and return to Paris after calling Xiao Jie to handle all frontline affairs. This time, he also intends to properly rectify the various factions in the country. The war has only started for more than a month. If the war continues, or if France does not achieve such a great victory, then it will be fine.

After Napoleon left Frankfurt, each legion set off one after another according to their respective tasks. Among them, the 4th Army drove to Munich to monitor Austria. If Austria wanted to take this opportunity to disadvantage France, they would attack from the west and contain part of Austria's power. At the request of Napoleon, the 3rd Army will also go to Huashan with Xiao Jie, because there are still more than 50,000 Russian troops entrenched in the east of Poland. Although these are not the elite Russian troops, the 5th Army has already They were scattered all over Poland, and it was difficult to gather together to fight against the Russian army for a while. Xiao Jie only had the 88th Army and the Cavalry Army left in his hands, both of which were not full, and the Cavalry Army only had more than 10,000 People, nearly half of them are missing. Napoleon was also afraid that if the Russian army continued to increase troops regardless of its own situation, it would put Xiao Jie in an extremely difficult situation after the French troops withdrew, so he temporarily decided that the 3rd Army would also act together with Xiao Jie , but returning to France after stabilizing the situation in Poland. The other legions also returned to France to rest or go to new stations.

After Napoleon left Frankfurt, Xiao Jie also marched to Huashan with the 88th Army and the 3rd Army. On November 10, the army entered Poznan. This city was ravaged by the Russian army for many days. The citizens are particularly enthusiastic about the French army who drove away the Russian army. In their view, the brutal Russian army is the devil, and the French army is the hero who defeated the devil. Xiao Jie saw a trace of sincerity in the eyes of the citizens, and at the same time he hated his 'despicableness' in his heart. Because the French army stationed in Poland is not much different from the Russian army in essence. If the Russian army is a wolf, then the French army is a tiger, and these ignorant people in Poland are lambs to be slaughtered. "Perhaps helping them realize their desire to rebuild their homeland can be regarded as compensation to them." Xiao Jie could only excuse himself in this way.

It was night, Xiao Jie and Lanshi and other senior generals were arranged by the mayor of Poznan City to rest in the city hall. Originally, the mayor planned to prepare a welcome banquet for them, but Xiao Jie considered that Poznan was in Russia. Under the ravages of the army, it is already very bitter, and there is no need to increase the burden on the people of Poznan, so I politely declined the mayor's kindness. At the same time, he also left all the troops outside the city, and only brought him and Lanshi's personal soldiers into the city. Since the Russian army had already fled, he didn't have to worry about safety. Marshal Lanshi did not object either, but instead expressed his approval of Xiao Jie's approach. After this incident, the Polish people's favor for the French crown prince has also greatly increased.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Jie couldn't fall asleep. She had no choice but to put on her clothes and go outside the room to look at the stars in the sky. The night in November is already a bit cold, and the cold wind blows on the face and it hurts a bit. Looking at the night sky, Xiao Jie said helplessly to himself: "It seems that this birthday has to be spent in the barracks again." The first anti-French alliance, and the 16th birthday encountered the fourth anti-French alliance. Sometimes he really wondered if it was wrong for him to intervene in this political and military struggle prematurely. It has been more than a month since he left Paris, and it seems that he will have to stay in Poland for a long time, and he can't help but miss the Joseph couple and Angel in Paris. The incomparable love of Joseph and his wife for him enabled him to enjoy the love of his parents for his son again in this world, and Angel was his favorite woman. These three people are indispensable in his life. Although he knew that Napoleon would definitely object to him being with Angel in the end, he still chose to give her a promise without hesitation, even though this promise would eventually break him and Napoleon, and even affect his future ability. Succession to the throne has a huge impact.

After 3 days of rushing, Xiao Jie and his party finally arrived in Warsaw. At this time, Huashan had been occupied by Murat's cavalry regiment. Xiao Jie was very unhappy about Murat's move. Because Murat violated his order to pursue the remnants of the Russian army, but led the army to capture Warsaw, which was not defended at all. The direct consequence of his doing so was to allow Nicholas and his party to return to Russia unscathed. If he hadn't been Napoleon's brother-in-law, his own uncle, and at the same time had mastered a powerful cavalry regiment, and belonged to one of Napoleon's favorite generals, Xiao Jie really wanted to give him the crime of disobeying orders. Kill him, save him from thinking about how to fight for credit and the throne that is completely impossible to belong to him all day long. Another reason why Xiao Jie wanted to kill Murat was that he got the news that after Murat knew that he had no chance to inherit the throne, he secretly reached an agreement with Louis and others to prevent Xiao Jie from inheriting the throne. This made Xiao Jie very angry.

Because of these reasons, Xiao Jie did not give him a good face at the welcome ceremony held by Murat, and Murat also knew that Xiao Jie was dissatisfied with him, so the welcome ceremony broke up at the end. Because he still had to deal with the Russian army entrenched in eastern Poland, Xiao Jie did not embarrass Murat very well.

Due to Xiao Jie's status is very noble, so the Polish dignitaries arranged his residence in the original Polish palace. Xiao Jie also likes this place very much, because the scenery here is also good, and it completely retains the atmosphere of Chinese reality. That afternoon, Xiao Jie met with two representatives of the Polish dignitaries, the Marquis of Cacust and the Count of Kropoulos.

"On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to thank you two for everything you have done to the French army." Xiao Jie said at the beginning.

"His Royal Highness, please don't be so polite. This is what we should do. The great French friend drove away the Russian bandits and rescued the Polish people living in dire straits. We should thank you." Fat face , said the Marquis of Cacust with a bald forehead, one can tell from his appearance that he is the kind of drunk and lustful person, and I am afraid he is not a good person.

"Where, this is what we should do. Resisting oppression and bringing freedom and democracy everywhere has always been our mission. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com His Majesty the Emperor also often taught us to rescue the nations of Europe from oppression .” Xiao Jie also started talking nonsense.

"Then why do you still come to Poland? After defeating the Russian army, you should go back to France." Count Kropoulos, who had been silent all this time, said angrily. Xiao Jie could see from his flushed face that he was a person who eagerly hoped for Poland's independence, but the arrival of the French army made their wish come to naught again.

Hearing such words directly opposing the French army's entry into Poland, Xiao Jie's face darkened immediately.

The Marquis of Cacust at the side changed Xiao Jie's face instantly, and secretly scolded Kropoulos for not knowing what to do. Now that the French army is the ruler of Poland, will they still have a good life if they angered themselves? So he quickly said: "His Royal Highness, please forgive him for being unreasonable. We in Poland strongly welcome the French army stationed in Poland and attacking the Russian army."

Xiao Jie snorted coldly, and then said: "I hope you can provide us with some help during our army's stay in Poland. Of course, as a reward for you, we can support you in establishing a unified Polish kingdom."
