Chapter 202: ,victory

Blücher’s cavalry did not play much role at all. With more than a thousand light cavalry, what is it useful for facing a large army of more than 60,000? Blücher and his cavalry tried to run around in front of Napoleon's army, trying to interfere with Napoleon, and to delay the Duke of Brunswick over there. But his harassment was basically useless, and even because he ran a little closer once, he was hit by a volley of French infantry and killed a lot of cavalry.
After running for a few laps, Blücher stopped the cavalry further away so that the horses could rest. Otherwise, keep running like this for a few laps to make the horse tired. What if the French cavalry rushed out at this time, wouldn't it be impossible to run away?
Then just as Blucher was worried, Augereau also rushed over with a team of cavalry, and confronted Blucher. So after confronting Augereau for a while, Blücher felt that he had done his best and retreated with his cavalry.
During the retreat, his adjutant asked: "General, shall we withdraw to Verdun?"
"No, we can't bring the enemy's army there. Let's go to Longwy." General Blücher replied boldly.
So Napoleon's army successfully arrived at Verdun.
At this time, Marshal Brunswick had gathered as much as possible the army that could be gathered, and returned to his barracks. But because of the hurried retreat, many things were lost, including the pile of cannons brought by the British. Fortunately, when the British were retreating, they remembered to nail the fire doors of the cannon.
Relying on their own barracks, the British-Prussian coalition forces reluctantly pulled out a defensive shelf-they didn't want to run, but they didn't take the barracks with their luggage, how far could they go? Bring these things? Isn't it too late?
So they fell into the encirclement of the French Northern Army and the Italian Army.
Outside the fragile defense line of the coalition forces, Napoleon, surrounded by a group of generals, greeted Joseph, who was also surrounded by a group of generals.
Joseph stretched out his hand to Napoleon: "Now, the defensive general officially transfers command to the offensive general."
Holding both hands together, Napoleon asked, "Where are you going next?"
"Back to the laboratory." Joseph said.
"That is, you always like to hide behind." Napoleon said.
"So what about you? Where are you going next?" Joseph asked.
"Go to Berlin!" Napoleon said.
Joseph thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, well, if you are going to Berlin, I have someone here, you can bring it. I think he will be very useful... This is Brigadier General Sirte, although he Young, but not bad at war. Well, my counterattack today was basically directed by him. I think he is much better than me in terms of on-the-spot command."
"My brother, it's not a compliment that the on-the-spot conductor is better than you." Napoleon laughed. At the same time he stretched out his hand to Sirte: "Welcome, General Sirte, let us go and put the tricolor flag on the Brandenburg Gate together!"
"I'm very happy, Lord General!" Sirte shook Napoleon's hand. "But before that, we have to remove a little obstacle in front of us-Your General, I think we can send troops. I asked them to surrender."
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the envoy of the French army took Napoleon’s letter into the military camp of the British and Prussian forces, and handed such a letter to the Duke of Brunswick:
"Marshal Brunswick and generals:
You have now reached the end of the world. One of your ally, Russia has withdrawn from the war; and your other ally, the army of Archduke Karl of Austria, is still more than two hundred kilometers away. Do you think he will rescue you at all costs? Do they have the same power to help you out? Do you want to break through? Our army is everywhere, so how can you be able to stand out? It sticks out. Under the pursuit of our army all the way, can you escape again?
Your troops have also injured more than half of the prisoners. These days, although you have forced the peaceful residents of the German states into the army, how can these people fight? These days, under our blows, they have suffered heavy casualties, and they have long lost the courage to fight. Right now, you only have a little place, which is no more than a small barracks. With so many people crowded together, we can kill a row of you with a single shell.
During this period of time, your wounded soldiers and soldiers have followed you and complained. Your soldiers and many low-level officers don't want to fight. There have even been a lot of mutiny. As marshals and generals, you should appreciate the feelings of your subordinates, cherish their lives, find a way out for them earlier, and don't make them unnecessary sacrifices.
Now we can concentrate several times your military power, ten times your firepower, and weapons that are more advanced than you can imagine to fight you. We are the world’s number one in science and technology in France. In these days of battle, you should have already understood something, and in our arsenal, there are more powerful weapons that did not make the first launch.
If you can immediately order the entire army to lay down its weapons and stop resistance, this army can guarantee the safety of your senior generals and all officers and soldiers as well as their personal property. Only in this way is your only way to survive. Think about it! If you think this is good, just do it. If you still want to fight, then fight again, you will be resolved anyway. "
The Duke of Brunswick accepted the French army's letter of persuasion to surrender, and then very politely stated to the French army envoy that they needed to discuss this issue.
The messenger of the French army said: "General Napoleon Bonaparte generously gave you twenty-four hours to consider-this is much more relaxed than the time you gave me at the beginning. If you are willing to accept our terms, you can ask Our army sent envoys to negotiate."
After explaining these things, the French envoy, Captain Firma, left the coalition camp.
By the next morning, two hours before the deadline, the Marshal of Brunswick led the besieged army of more than 40,000 troops to surrender to the French army. Marshal Brunswick handed over the marshal's scepter to Napoleon. More than 40,000 British and Prussian soldiers who followed her also laid down their weapons.
The news was quickly sent back to Paris, and the "Science Pravda" immediately issued an extra, free full Paris delivery. After a while, everyone knew the exciting good news. The whole city of Paris, cheers were heard everywhere. sound.
Even in the office of the Ministry of War, Kano could clearly hear the cheers. But the cheers didn't make Kanuo quicken, on the contrary, he frowned.
He knew about the fake news arranged by Joseph. Joseph did not deceive him in this matter. But because of this false news, the rebellion was triggered again, but it was beyond his expectations. Kano originally thought that in the last rebellion, the royal party was already badly injured.
As for Napoleon's suppression of the Royal Party rebellion, you have to ask Cano whether he supports it or not. Of course, Cano did. But Napoleon's performance in Congress made Cano very annoyed, because this approach seemed to shake the foundation of democracy and the republic.
Although Lucien assured him that neither Joseph nor Napoleon had become Dick’s ambitions. But Kano is still a little worried.
Saying that Joseph didn't have the ambition to be Dick, Kano believed very much. He knows Joseph too well. Even when he attends meetings, Joseph is habitually looking for a place where he can't be seen from his home. He certainly wouldn't want to be Dick. Because this violated his principle of "make a fortune with silence".
As for Lucien, Kano also believes that this guy will never be quite Dick’s push, because this guy almost grew up as Kano watched. He knows him and knows that Lucien is good at wine, food, beauties and loafers. , I am more interested in idle wandering. Lucien's life idol is by no means Caesar or Octavian, but the legendary Don Juan.
But Napoleon is hard to say, because Napoleon's life idol is not Caesar, but Alexander the Great. Maybe this guy really wants to be Dick, or even wants to be the "first citizen".
However, Carnot also agreed with Lucien's statement that France is now fighting the entire reactionary feudal world with one country. So if the French government is not clean and efficient, France will definitely be overwhelmed by these reactionary feudal countries.
"Between the free and democratic France and the autocratic and dark European countries, in the long run, we are not at odds. We are not like the United States. We can hide in the corners of the world. So, at least in this critical situation. At the moment, according to the "Social Contract Theory", the sovereignty of France naturally originates from the people of France, and the power of the government originates from the transfer contract of the people. Of course we hope that the less power everyone needs to transfer The better. But at the necessary moments, it is also necessary to surrender more power to ensure the most fundamental interest-the sovereignty of the people."
In today's situation, Carnot also has to admit that France really needs a clean and efficient government, a government that can make decisions quickly and firmly implement them. Those who have been upset in the political arena before have been proved that they are not worthy to hold such power either because of lack of ability or because of moral defects. So now I can only temporarily accept one Dick push.
