Zhou Lang sent an army indeed.

All the students studying abroad are all from the army, and not from the main soldiers, but from the auxiliary units.

Because the auxiliary soldiers are armed by landlords' regiments, and the officers are mainly composed of the children of landlords, they have received a relatively high level of education, and this condition is even better than the officer base of the combat units that generally climb up from the battle. The most important thing is that the officers of these auxiliaries are not like the officers of the war soldiers, they are often old and old, and the situation of the auxiliary officers varies greatly, but most of them are the children of relatively young landlords, and they are in their teens. They have gone through traditional education, have mastered standardized techniques and tactics, and do not have the shortcomings of being limited in their thinking by long-term battles with cold weapons troops, and now they need to learn a higher level of modern army command methods, and these people are obviously very suitable.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the combat units did not dare to weaken now, so Zhou Lang selected officers from the auxiliary troops from all over the country.

These officers are high and low, as high as the leader of the team is Gou Quan, a general of the general in the past, and nearly half of them are only officers at the level of squad leaders, not because they are not capable, but because they are from small landlord families, their families cannot recruit more village warriors for them.

All of them are officers in active duty, and they have experienced wars, and the size is as high as 3,000 people, which is really a force to be reckoned with in the case of the relatively small size of the European army.

Zhou Lang really intends to let these people fight as soldiers, fight for Napoleon, learn to fight in battle, fight side by side with the first-class army in Europe, the first modern army in human history, the French army, if they fight with their lives, they can't learn the essence of modern warfare, it shows that the Chinese IQ is definitely problematic, but unfortunately the Chinese's IQ is obviously above the standard.

Zhou Lang wrote an enthusiastic long letter to Napoleon, giving high praise to the French Revolution and a high evaluation of France's long history and culture, of course, these are polite. The real dry material is that in order to express his respect for the French Revolution and his admiration for Mr. Napoleon himself, Zhou Lang sincerely requested Napoleon that these officers he sent should be fortunate to join Napoleon after completing their military academy studies, fight for France, fight for Napoleon, and strongly demand that Napoleon treat them as ordinary French soldiers and French soldiers, and let them fight side by side with the great French people!

Zhou Lang believes that Napoleon will agree, because this is too politically significant, a country thousands of miles away and his monarch are inspired by the spirit of the French Revolution, sending their outstanding officers to join the French army and join Napoleon, which is of great political significance to France and Napoleon himself, and a situation outside of reality is that Napoleon will have some vanity more or less, and he himself is very eager to be recognized.

For example, Napoleon later fought in Poland, merged Prussia, Austria and Russia's partitioned Poland to establish a new Poland, which was equivalent to helping Poland recover, and then recruited a large number of Polish cavalry troops, and put these troops by his side as his personal guard. This was definitely not just because the Polish cavalry was famous in Europe, but because he was showing off his Napoleonic contribution to Poland. Look at how loyal the Poles are to me and show how much I have helped the Polish people with what I have done!

Let his officers join Napoleon's army, and then kill the Germans, the Spaniards, the British, the Austrians, and the French, the biggest purpose is of course to let them observe, learn and experience the most advanced methods of warfare in this era at close range, but Zhou Lang felt that Napoleon got more benefits, so he hoped to get more rewards.

From the French consul and the American consul, Zhou Lang confirmed that these post-revolutionary countries have a sense of loneliness that stands out from the crowd and are very keen to spread their civilization to the outside world, so Zhou Lang hopes that France can send an excellent scientific expert to China for research and work. In addition to consulting with the French consul, he also wrote a long letter to Napoleon, telling him that China had now established a team of British, American, and Dutch advisers. But Zhou Lang hopes that France will send better scientists than the three countries to study China's vast ancient technology. Zhou Lang will establish a Sino-French cooperative Royal Academy of Sciences with a team of French scientists as the core.

By mentioning Britain and the United States and the Netherlands, I am telling the French that I am not without other options, and at the same time suggesting to the French that if you want to send people, you will send them better than these countries, but if Napoleon has the slightest intention of comparing himself with his rival England, he will definitely send some real scientists, and those first-class masters of Europe may not be willing to send them, but some of the higher level of the French universities can still be sent. When Napoleon was fighting in Egypt, he accompanied a large number of students from the French Polytechnic Institute to study Oriental culture.

I don't know if it's because of some kind of self-decorating plot, such as the Renaissance when wealthy merchants and aristocrats made a lot of money to support the arts, which was used to set off their own heritage; Or Napoleon was really interested in science and culture, he often went to Paris to listen to lectures by some modern scholars, and when he went to Egypt, Napoleon himself was awarded the title of academician of the French Academy of Sciences, and on every order he signed, Napoleon would put the title of academician in front of him, signed "Academician of the Academy of Sciences, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Front".

Later, after Napoleon captured the Turkish Governor's Palace in Egypt, he gathered all the French scientists who accompanied the army in this Governor's Palace, and established an Egyptian Academy of Sciences, with Monge as president and Napoleon as vice-president, Napoleon regarded this as the greatest merit of his expedition to Egypt, and those military victories were insignificant compared to this matter.

Regardless of whether Napoleon really loved science and culture, or just wanted to use science and culture to decorate himself and let people see that he was not a warlord who did not learn and did not know how to do it, not a commoner with no background, but a real aristocrat, then Napoleon should be interested in sending a team of scientists to China, because this matter he can hype up in France and can boast about it for a lifetime. No matter how you look at it, the formation of an extinct ancient civilization, the Egyptian Academy of Sciences, is not as commendable as the formation of an ancient civilization that is still alive and has been continued, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is more commendable.

Zhou Lang also tried his best to get the top talents in Europe, because these people represent the highest level of knowledge in human society.

Knowledge has no borders, knowledge is not invented, but naturally exists, discovered by human beings, these knowledge belong to all mankind, all human beings have the right to learn, but the problem is that the person who grasps and discovers knowledge has national boundaries, so we must break the national boundaries and invite the bearers of these knowledge in.
