Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Tianmu also continued to tell the story.

Some clips from film and television dramas are given.

It can be seen that Napoleon was accompanied by soldiers who were not well equipped.

Travel through Italy's mountains, fields and rivers.

Busy the whole time.

Rush to multiple battlefields.

[The Italian peninsula at that time was under the rule of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, and the situation was complicated. ]

[The French Italian Army commanded by Napoleon was not an elite force.]

[The army led by Napoleon was poorly equipped and poorly supplied.]

【Many soldiers have little training. 】

[Not even shoes.]

[But Napoleon relied on his flexible tactics and courageous spirit to create miracles of defeating the enemy with fewer troops time and time again.]

[On the Italian battlefield, Napoleon demonstrated an art of war that was beyond his time.]

[Using tactics such as dividing and combining, outflanking, and single-point breakthrough, the Austrian army was defeated step by step.]

[Faced with the superior Austrian-Sardinian coalition, he adopted the principle of "fighting on the inside line."]

【Give full play to the mobility of the troops.】

【The Kingdom of Sardinia was defeated in the Battle of Mondovi, forcing it to sign the Armistice of Cherasco. 】

[He then led the charge of the grenadiers in the Battle of Lodi Bridge, earning the legendary title of "Little Squad Leader".]

[In the most classic Battle of Castiglione, Napoleon used the terrain to divide the Austrian army and annihilated 5000 enemies at the cost of 3 casualties. ]

[This battle was also regarded as a textbook example of "strategic encirclement" by military academies of later generations.]

【On the battlefield in Italy, Napoleon not only plundered a large amount of supplies for France. 】

[It also spread the ideas of the French Revolution to this land, igniting the Italian people's pursuit of freedom. ]

【But Napoleon's ambitions were not limited to military affairs. 】

[He established the Cisalpine Republic in Italy, used church gold and silver as military expenses, and used captured artworks to enrich the Louvre.]

【Continuously strengthen the legion's strength.】

【It also improves one's personal prestige. 】

【Napoleon's glorious victory in Italy made him famous. 】

【But it also aroused the suspicion of the Paris Directory. 】

[In 1798, Napoleon was ordered to lead an expeditionary force to Egypt. ]

[This expedition was intended, on the one hand, to strike at Britain’s influence in the Middle East and cut off its trade routes to India;]

[On the other hand, the Directory also wanted to take this opportunity to keep Napoleon away from the center of power. ]

[In Egypt, Napoleon also demonstrated outstanding leadership.]

[Despite facing many difficulties such as extreme heat, epidemics and stubborn resistance from the enemy, he still led the French army to victory in many battles.]

[The most famous of these was the Battle of the Pyramids.]

[In this battle, Napoleon defeated the Mamluk cavalry with a fierce offensive, shocking the whole of Egypt.]

【The Battle of the Pyramids was won.】

【But Britain's Nelson destroyed the French fleet, cutting off the French expeditionary force's retreat. 】

【The French expeditionary force was unable to return home smoothly. 】

[Napoleon also realized that Paris was the main battlefield that determined his fate. ]

【And it was when Napoleon was campaigning in Egypt. 】

【The situation in Europe has changed dramatically.】

[Anti-French alliance was formed again, the situation in France was also turbulent, and the Directory was on the verge of collapse. ]

[Napoleon keenly realized that this was a great opportunity for him to return to the center of power.]

……

Outside the sky.

Warring States Period.

Bai Qi looked at Napoleon's experience on the sky with a grim expression.

"When Napoleon conquered Italy, his troops were flexible and maneuverable, and he defeated the enemy with a smaller force."

"He does have some abilities, but he was banished to Egypt. It's really pathetic."

"After his victory in Egypt, he wanted to return to Paris to take power. It seems that he also understands the importance of central power."

"Victory on the battlefield is only temporary, but controlling power means controlling everything."

Speaking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I haven't had a good time lately.

And in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Zu Ti, who was fighting in Henan, saw Napoleon leading a ragtag army and achieving brilliant results.

But he was suspected and excluded to faraway Egypt.

I feel the same way inside.

"The court should support the general when he is away from home, but... hey, has it always been like this?" "My ancestor is not an unlucky person."

"Is it the destined fate of a general leading troops abroad?"

Zu Yue, who was standing aside, smiled coldly and said:

"Back then, our 3,000 refugee soldiers crossed the Yangtze River, and now the imperial court won't even give us 300 dan of compensation!"

"Look at Napoleon. He was so powerful in Italy and fought so many great battles. But in the end, he was still suspected and kicked to Egypt."

"If you only fight outside and have no one in the court, you can only suffer!"

Zu Ti sighed, his voice full of bitterness:
"Yes, what's the difference between this and me? My ancestor was determined to conquer the north, to recover the Central Plains and bring peace to the people."

"I want to achieve something great and realize my ambition since childhood."

"But those people in the court are hindering me everywhere and making things difficult for me."

"It's because I have some military power and I have recovered half of the Central Plains, so I have made contributions."

"They are afraid that I will threaten them. How ridiculous!"

Zu Yue saw that Zu Ti was also very depressed, so he curled his lips and continued to add fuel to the fire:

"That is to say, brother, you have worked so hard for the court, but what is the result? You have no money and no soldiers."

"Napoleon at least gave us tens of thousands of soldiers, and the French court was also responsible for the logistics."

"As for you, you are restricted in every way and don't even have the opportunity to show your talents."

"In my opinion, we should not care what those people in the court think."

"We should learn from Napoleon and go back to Jiankang first!"

Zu Yue’s meaning was very clear.

The imperial court’s military strength was weak and its combat effectiveness was low.

Lead the troops back to the court first, at least you can hold your head high in the court, and further progress is not impossible!
Zu Ti frowned and paced back and forth. After thinking for a while, Zu Ti sighed:
"That being said, my ancestor has devoted his entire life to his country."

"Even if I am suspected and excluded, as long as I am still alive, I will not give up on the Northern Expedition!"

Zu Yue was disdainful and wanted to say something else.

But Zu Ti knew that there were some things he shouldn't say, so he interrupted him.

"Go check the sentry! Stop talking nonsense!"

……

Zu Ti also sighed and continued to look at the sky.

【Know that the opportunity is not to be missed. 】

[Napoleon resolutely abandoned his army in Egypt and returned to France secretly.]

【The Directory at this time was corrupt and incompetent, and various political forces were in fierce confrontation. 】

[On November 1799, 11, which was the 9th day of the Republican calendar, Napoleon and Sieyès launched a coup.]

【When 500 members of the House of Representatives shouted "Down with the tyrant." 】

[The scene of Napoleon's soldiers rushing into the parliament hall was forever captured in David's painting.]

【Napoleon overthrew the Directory and established the Consulate.】

【He became the first consul and from then on held the highest power in France. 】

[The Constitution of the Eighth Year of the Republic, promulgated after the coup, gave the First Consul near-dictatorial powers.]

[After taking power, Napoleon began to carry out drastic reforms in France. ]

[Politically, he established a centralized administrative system, rectified the administration of officials, selected and appointed talented officials, and greatly improved the efficiency of the government;]

[In terms of economy, he implemented a series of policies to promote the development of industry and commerce, built roads and canals, established banks, and stabilized the currency. The French economy recovered rapidly under his governance;]

[In the field of law, he personally presided over the compilation of the Napoleonic Code. ]

【This code, with its rigorous logic and concept of equality, has become a model for legislation in modern capitalist society. 】

【It protects the basic rights of citizens and regulates social order. 】

[It had a profound impact on later generations.]

【Institutionalize "liberty, equality, and fraternity" into law. 】

【It is still the cornerstone of the continental legal system. 】

[When the British-sponsored assassination attempt almost succeeded, Napoleon took the opportunity to purge his political enemies and consolidate his power.]

[In 1802, he became a lifelong ruler through a referendum, paving the way for his enthronement.]

【On December 1804, 12, the coronation ceremony at Notre Dame de Paris was staged in a world-famous painting that shocked Europe.】

[Napoleon took the crown from Pope Pius VII and put it on himself and Josephine.]

[This deliberately designed action symbolizes the end of the era of divine right of kings.]

【Symbolizes "power comes only from the people and the army."】

[Becoming an emperor was not only the realization of personal ambition, but also the desire of French society for a stable order. ]

[As Napoleon wrote in his memoirs: "The Revolution has accomplished its work; it now needs a crown."]

【Napoleon reached the pinnacle of France.】

【But Napoleon's steps did not stop there. 】

[He needs to lead France to the top.] (End of this chapter)
