Blucher's cavalry didn't play much of a role at all, more than a thousand light cavalry, what use could it be in the face of an army of more than 60,000? Blucher and his cavalry tried to run around in front of Napoleon's army, trying to interfere with Napoleon and delay a little time for the Duke of Braunschweig over there. But these harassments of his were of little use, and even, because he once ran a little closer, he was fired by a volley from the French infantry, and many cavalrymen were killed.

After a few laps, Blucher had the cavalry stop farther away so that the horses could rest. Otherwise, continue to run like this for a few laps, and the war horse will be tired, in case, in case the French cavalry rushes out at this time, it won't be impossible to run?

Then, just as Blucher feared, Augero arrived with a troop of cavalry and confronted Blucher. So Blucher, after confronting Augéro for a while, felt that he had done his best, and retreated with his cavalry.

At the time of the retreat, his adjutant asked: "General, shall we withdraw to Verdun?" ”

"No, we can't bring the enemy's large forces there, let's go to Longwei." General Blucher replied with great righteousness.

So Napoleon's army reached Verdun without any problems.

By this time, Marshal Braunschweig had gathered as much of the army as he could, and retreated to his barracks. But because of the haste of retreat, many things were lost, including the large number of cannons brought by the British. Fortunately, when the British retreated, they still remembered to nail the fire doors of the cannons.

The Anglo-Prussian army, relying on its own barracks, reluctantly pulled out a defensive shelf - it's not that they don't want to run, but they don't bring the baggage in the barracks, how far can they run? Bring these things with you? Isn't that too late?

So they fell into the encirclement of the French Army of the North and the Italian Army.

Outside the weak lines of the coalition forces, Napoleon was surrounded by a group of generals and met Joseph, who was also surrounded by a group of generals.

Joseph stretched out his hand to Napoleon and said: "Now the defending general has officially transferred command to the attacking general. ”

With two hands clasped together, Napoleon asked, "Where are you going next?" ”

"Back to the lab." Joseph said.

"That's, you always like to hide behind." Napoleon said.

"What about you? Where are you going next? Joseph asked.

"To Berlin!" Napoleon said.

Joseph thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, well, if you're going to Berlin, I have someone here that you can bring." I think he would be useful...... This is Brigadier General Sirte, although he is young, he is not bad at fighting, well, my counteroffensive today is basically commanded by him. I think he's a lot better than me in terms of on-the-spot command. ”

"My brother, it's not a compliment that you're better than you." Napoleon laughed. At the same time he held out his hand to Sirte: "Welcome, General Sirte, let's go and plant the tricolor at the Brandenburg Gate!" ”

"I'm glad I do, General!" Sirte shook Napoleon's hand, "But before we can do that, we need to remove the little obstacle in front of us—Your Excellency, General, I think we can send an envoy and demand their surrender." ”

At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the French envoy entered the Anglo-Prussian barracks with Napoleon's letter and handed such a letter to the Duke of Braunschweig:

"Marshal Braunschweig and generals:

You have now reached the point of exhaustion. One of your allies, Russia, has withdrawn from the war; And your other ally, the army of Archduke Karl of Austria, is more than two hundred kilometers away, do you think he will do anything to rescue you? Do they have the strength to help you? Do you want to break through? There are our troops on all sides, how can you break out? Stand out, under the pursuit of our army all the way, can you escape?

More than half of your troops have been wounded and captured. These days, although you have forcibly incorporated the peaceful inhabitants 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. Now, you only have a little space, no more than a small barracks, so many people are crowded together, and we can kill a platoon of you with a single shell.

During this time, your wounded soldiers and soldiers have been crying out with you. Your soldiers and many of your junior officers don't want to fight. There have even been quite a few mutinies for this. As marshals and generals, you should cherish the feelings of your subordinates, cherish their lives, find a way for them to survive as soon as possible, and stop making them make unnecessary sacrifices.

Now we can concentrate several times your forces, ten times your firepower, and weapons that are more advanced than you can imagine. We are the number one in the world in France in terms of technology, and you should already know about it in these days of fighting, and there are more powerful weapons in our arsenal that are not being used.

If you can immediately order the whole army to lay down its arms and stop resisting, our army can guarantee the safety of your senior generals and all officers and men and the safety of their personal property. This is the only way for you to survive. Think about it! If you think that's good, do it. If you still want to fight, then fight again, and you will be dealt with in the end. ”

The Duke of Braunschweig accepted the French army's letter of surrender, and then politely told the French envoy that they needed to discuss the issue.

The French envoy said: "General Napoleon Bonaparte has generously given you twenty-four hours to consider—much more than you have given me." If you are willing to accept our terms, you can send an envoy to our army to negotiate. ”

After explaining these things, the French envoy, Captain Filla, left the camp of the coalition forces.

By the next morning, two hours before the deadline, Marshal Braunschweig led the encircled army of more than 40,000 troops to surrender to the French. Marshal Braunschweig handed over the Marshal Scepter in his hand to Napoleon. More than 40,000 British and Prussian soldiers who followed her also laid down their arms.

The news was quickly transmitted back to Paris, and the newspaper "Science Pravda" immediately sent out a special issue and delivered it all over Paris for free, and soon everyone knew the exciting good news, and the whole city of Paris resounded with cheers.

Even in the office of the Ministry of War, Kano could hear the cheers clearly. But the cheers didn't make Kano happy, but made him frown even more.

Joseph arranged the fake news of the matter, and he knew about it. Joseph did not deceive him in this matter. But because of this false news, it was unexpected. Kano originally thought that in the last rebellion, the royal party had already suffered a lot of vitality.

As for Napoleon's suppression of the royal rebellion, if you ask whether Cano supports it, then of course Cano supports it. But Napoleon's performance in the Reichstag annoyed Carnot greatly, because it seemed to shake the foundations of democracy and republicanism.

Although Lucien assured him that neither Joseph nor Napoleon had the ambition to become Dictidaus. But Kano was still a little worried.

Saying that Joseph had no ambition to be Dick Tydo, Kano was very convinced. He knew Joseph too well, and Joseph, even when he was in a meeting, was accustomed to finding a place where he could not see him, and he would definitely not want to be Dick. Because it violates his principle of "making a fortune out of silence".

As for Lucien, Cano also believed that this guy would never be quite Dick-pushed, because this guy was almost what Cano had grown up watching, and he knew him, and knew that Lucien was more interested in good wine, good food, beautiful women, and idle, idle wanderings. Lucien's idol in life was by no means Caesar or Octavian, but the legendary Don Juan.

But it's hard to say about Napoleon, because Napoleon's idol in life is either Caesar or Alexander the Great. This guy may really want to be Dick Tuduo, or even want to be a "first citizen".

However, Canot also agreed with Lucien's assertion that France was now fighting as a single state against the reactionary feudal world as a whole. Therefore, if the French government is not clean and efficient, France will definitely be overwhelmed by these reactionary feudal states.

"In the long run, there is no contradiction between a free and democratic France and the authoritarian and dark countries of Europe. Nor are we a country like the United States, where you can hide in a corner of the world. Therefore, at least at this critical moment, according to the Social Contract, the sovereignty of France naturally derives from the French people, and the power of the government derives from the concession contract of the people. We certainly hope that the less power each person needs to cede is possible. But it is also necessary to cede more power when necessary to guarantee the most fundamental interest, the sovereignty of the people. ”

In today's situation, Cano also has to admit that France does need a clean and efficient government, a government that can make decisions quickly and firmly implement them. And those who have been in the political arena before have been proven to be unworthy of such power, either because of their lack of ability or because of their moral shortcomings. Then now I can only accept one Dick push for the time being.
