"After the great victory in Northern Italy, Napoleon's prestige grew, making him a people's hero of the French Republic. ”

In addition to 2,000 cannons, Napoleon's expeditionary force led 175 scholars from all walks of life, as well as hundreds of boxes of books and research equipment. ”

"It can be seen that Napoleon still attached more importance to scholars at that time, he was not only brave but not brainy, on the contrary, he still had his military command talent!" Professor Abner said here, and he also admired the French emperor.

In 1798, Napoleon made an expedition to Egypt and captured Alexandria, and in the face of the brave Mamluks, Napoleon showed extraordinary military talent and military excellence.

Napoleon inspires his soldiers, "Soldiers, forty centuries watching you from the pyramids!"

Through the Battle of the Pyramids, the shocking results cleared the way to Cairo and terrified the Mamluks and Ottomans at the name of Napoleon.

Although Napoleon commanded the French to a resounding victory on land, the French fleet was destroyed by the British admiral Horahio Nelson at the Battle of Aboukir in August, leaving the land forces trapped in Egypt.

Napoleon marched into Syria and repeatedly repelled the Turkish army, but encountered difficulties such as plague, heat, and supplies, and was finally hampered by the long-held city of Aker.

Napoleon led his army back to Egypt and besieged the Turkish army at Aboukir, and Napoleon still regretted the failure to capture the castle of Aker until his death, and he said in his memoirs on the island of St. Helena: "If the castle of Aker falls soon, it will change the face of the world." ”

"Of course, we are only giving examples of Napoleon's military exploits, and his talent did not stop at leading troops in war, but he also showed his incomparable talent in many fields," said Professor Abner. ”

Napoleon then carried out a number of major reforms in the military, educational, judicial, administrative, legislative, and economic fields, the most famous of which still had a profound impact until two centuries later, was the promulgation of the Napoleonic Code, which was drafted and enacted by Napoleon on his orders, and many of the articles were discussed and finally promulgated by Napoleon himself. ”

These codes had a major influence on the legislation of Western capitalist countries such as Germany, Spain, and Switzerland, and Napoleon also established the national education system that has survived to this day, as well as the Legion of Honor. ”

Qu Lihua asked: "Professor Abner, Napoleon fought many battles, which battle was the pinnacle of Napoleon?"

"Well!" Professor Abner replied after a moment's thought, "In August 1805, Austria, Great Britain, and Russia formed the Third Anti-French Alliance, and at the end of August, the Russian general Kutuzov and Austria allied forces marched towards Ulm, Bavaria. ”

Napoleon left Paris on 24 September and marched eastward, the French captured Munich on 12 October, and on 17 October the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire won the Battle of Ulm after a fierce battle between the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire, and the anti-French coalition surrendered. ”

Subsequently, on December 2, the first anniversary of Napoleon's coronation, the First French Empire defeated the superior strength of the Russian-Austrian army of 90,000 horses with a weak force of 70,000 horses, won a major victory in the Battle of Austerlitz, severely damaged Austria and Russia, and reversed Prussia's attitude towards France. ”

"Because the Emperor of the French Empire, the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Emperor of the Russian Empire all participated in the battle in person, the battle is also known as the 'Battle of the Three Emperors'. ”

This battle was the pinnacle of Napoleon's life and led to the collapse of the anti-French coalition, Napoleon caused the Austrian Empire to dethrone the Holy Roman Empire, and the long history of the HRE Empire came to an end. ”

"Napoleon then united the vassal states of Germany to form the 'Confederation of the Rhine' and placed it under his protection. ”

In the autumn of 1806, Britain, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia formed the Fourth Anti-French Alliance, and on October 14, 1806, Napoleon led his army against Prussia, and in the Battle of Jena, he gathered 90,000 troops to attack the Prussian army, but did not meet the main force of the Prussian army. ”

At Olstant, the 20,000 inferior forces of the French Marshal Davout were met by a main force of 50,000 men under the command of the Prussian king himself, and Marshal Davout fought hard to command these 20,000 horses to defeat the Prussian army, and the Prussian army was almost completely annihilated. ”

Napoleon seized most of Germany and captured the capital, Berlin, and in June 1807, the French defeated the Russian army at the Battles of Eylau and Friedland in Poland, and Napoleon met with Tsar Alexander I of Russia, and a peace treaty was signed. ”

"Emperor Napoleon I was King of Italy, Patron of the Confederation of the Rhine, Arbiter of the Confederation of Switzerland, and made his brothers Joseph Bonaparte, Louis Bonaparte, and Jérôme Bonaparte King of Naples, the Netherlands, and Westphalia. From then on, the hegemony of the First French Empire on the European continent was established. ”

This was Napoleon's most glorious era, and it is also recorded in French history textbooks, and French students are familiar with this history, although the history is gone, but there is still inspiration for future generations. ”

Napoleon was a well-deserved bourgeois revolutionary, who repeatedly repelled the invasion of the anti-French coalition and suppressed the rebellions of the reactionary forces at home and abroad, protected the gains of the French Revolution, and overthrew the old autocracy. ”

"Poleon defended the gains of the period of the French Revolution and protected the vested interests of the bourgeois revolution in the French Republic. Napoleon's measures of rule had a significant and far-reaching impact not only on France but also on his conquering powers. ”

"Napoleon, through his conquests, spread the fruits of the victory of the French bourgeois revolution to varying degrees everywhere the French army went. The social impact of the French bourgeois revolution has become an unstoppable force in the developing countries of Western capitalism. ”

"Napoleon made important contributions to the establishment of the political system of the bourgeoisie and the promotion of the development of capitalism, Napoleon's hegemonic ambition is a concentrated expression of the nature of the French big bourgeoisie, and his domestic and foreign policies represent the interests of the bourgeoisie and protect the development of the capitalist economic base. ”

Napoleon was also the first to propose the idea of the United States of Europe and tried to realize it by force, and although he himself did not succeed in realizing this dream, Europe in the twenty-first century is moving towards the goal of integration. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "We asked Professor Abner to tell you about this history, because Napoleon's influence in France was too great, although he did not end up well, and abdicated after the defeat, he is a great historical figure in the history of France. ”

"We study the life experience of this historical figure, but also to better understand the country of France, understand the history of France, understand the historical background of France at that time, in order to objectively analyze this country, better understand this country, so that we can cooperate with France, and then look at how we can work together now to develop the economy, create more opportunities for cooperation, make the economy prosperous, increase employment opportunities, make the people rich, meet the needs of the people, and let people live a happy life. ”
