Napoleon was still defeated, and the war in the East did not change the Russians' methods of warfare against Napoleon.

Kutuzov's one-eyed dragon could not have fought a decisive battle with Napoleon because China declared war on Russia, he chose the tactics of clearing the field because of his lack of strength, and he was unwilling to fight Napoleon head-on without China, and with China behind him, it would be even more impossible to fight head-on.

The Russians were fortified, Napoleon was defeated in Moscow, and everything went according to the rehearsal script.

As to why Napoleon failed, there was a great deal of debate in later generations, and there were all kinds of strange opinions.

The more professional ones believe that it was a strategic mistake, that the expedition to Russia was a long distance, that the battle line dragged on too long, that the logistical supply was not enough, that it was difficult to provide supplies, that it did not make a thorough strategic plan and preparation in advance, and that it did not have a good understanding of the enemy's situation (especially the climate in Russia).

The unconvinced French said that they were defeated by the weather, believing that God helped Russia, and a cold wave broke out in November, and the Russian land became a land of ice and snow, and it didn't take long for the French army to lose more than 500,000 people, and finally only more than 20,000 people remained. Napoleon had nothing to do and fled in disarray.

The more alternative belief is that the defeat is due to the buttons, and the uniforms of Napoleon's army against Russia are all tin buttons, and in cold weather, the tin buttons will undergo chemical changes and turn into powder, commonly known as "tin plague", without buttons, the soldiers can only open their arms, so they are frozen to death.

Some say it was because of lice, Napoleon's army was infested with lice due to poor sanitation, and infected with diseases such as typhus and five-day fever, so that Napoleon lost a third of his troops.

There are also those who are said to have been defeated by syphilis, and there are some female bones among the unearthed bones of Napoleon's army. Eighty per cent of the bones in the tomb show that the owner of the bones suffered from syphilis before his death. The syphilis epidemic weakened the fighting power of the French army.

Similar to the climate defeat, Napoleon, who had occupied Moscow, was quietly waiting for Tsar Alexander to surrender. Suddenly, the whole city of Moscow burst into flames, and a sea of fire broke out. The French had food, grass, cannons, guns, and shelter reduced to ashes. Napoleon, who ran out of ammunition and food, had to order the withdrawal of his troops.

These may be reasons, but they are only technical, and Zhou Lang feels that there is only one reason, that is, Napoleon simply did not have the ability and experience to command 600,000 people in battle.

Before the Industrial Revolution, China was the only country in the world where hundreds of thousands of people were fighting. During the Warring States Period, the Qin State with a population of 5 million people, can support 500,000 people in Changping and Zhao for a year, Westerners have always been skeptical of this statement, and have always felt that agricultural civilization can not achieve such a scale of mobilization ability, Sima Qian wrote in the historical records, Qin even children under the age of fifteen have been recruited. Later, archaeological excavations recorded in the historical records of the mass grave that killed the soldiers of the Zhao State were barely recognized.

Napoleon's previous battles, which rarely exceeded 200,000 men, were now suddenly organized with an army of 600,000 and expeditions to Russia, which was tantamount to investing all his resources in an area where he had no experience, and this gambler character often did not lead to good results.

Later generations have studied Napoleon's military command and found that when he led 50,000 or 60,000 men, he could be flexible and maneuvering, and use all kinds of subtle means to strike at the enemy. When he led an army of more than 100,000 men, he could only face the enemy face to face. At the battles of Wagram and Brodino, both sides had more than 120,000 troops, and each time Napoleon chose to attack head-on, each time he only won a crushing victory, depleting his veterans in large quantities. This expedition to Russia, in which he commanded more than 500,000 men, resulted in incomparably chaos.

From the point of view of preparation, Zhou Lang prepared for a whole year in order to fight Jiaqing in Ili, while Napoleon, in order to keep it secret, only began to prepare last spring and signed alliance treaties with European powers one by one. Then the most powerful and chaotic corps in European history was assembled, 40 infantry divisions and 25 cavalry divisions from France, the Rhine Confederation, Prussia and Poland, totaling 510,000 troops. Half of them were foreign armies made up of France's allies.

After such hasty preparations, he entered Russia in the summer, and he overestimated his mobilization and leadership.

has no experience, but dares to take risks, superstition that he will win, and the long-term success has made him incorrigibly conceited, and the gods can't save him.

During the war, Napoleon could have had two allies, one was Turkey, and Napoleon supported the Russo-Turkish War that broke out in 1806~1812. However, the ties were not strengthened, and due to the fighting with Turkey, the Russian army had reduced its strength a lot, and 46,000 men and 218 artillery pieces could not be used to fight Napoleon.

However, it was clear that the strength of the Ottoman Turks could not lead to a decisive battle with Russia, and if Napoleon could send a strong army to help the Ottoman Empire in the war, at least so that the Ottoman Empire would not be defeated during his attack on Russia, then the situation would be extremely favorable to France.

Napoleon could have united with China, but he didn't, he just held his army tightly in his own hands, he felt that it was safest to rely on his own strength, he felt that the army was the most efficient in his hands, he believed that he could defeat Russia, and he did not need to ally with others.

As a result, Napoleon was defeated, and the defeat was extremely shameful, if he could have the Qin people of the Warring States period, and could spend a year with the Russians, the Chinese army could echo him, but he only held out for half a year, and on June 24, 1812, he entered Russia with great momentum, and had to retreat in a hurry on December 12, 1812.

In his later recollections, Napoleon wrote that he was defeated not by Alexander, but by the Russian winter. He believed that if the invasion had been launched three months earlier, the situation would have been very different. Blaming Russia's cold climate for the defeat is either a pretext, because according to climate studies, Russia had a warm winter year.

The warm winter weather caused an unexpected thaw in the Berezina River, and when the French army retreated, a large number of people crowded across the bridge caused a disaster, causing Napoleon to lose 25,000 men; Of course, it is also possible that Napoleon really thought so, after all, Russia in a warm winter is much colder than France, but this shows how poorly prepared he is, and he can't even withstand the warm winter in Russia, so he dares to enter the hinterland of Russia!

The news of Napoleon's defeat reached China as soon as possible.

It's not about how efficient China's intelligence system is, it's about the Russians themselves.

The purpose, of course, is to deter, let China see, they even defeated Napoleon, will China still dare to fight them?

But the Russians proposed a peace agreement in which China withdrew from Russian territory and at the same time ceded the Ili River valley to Russia.

This made Zhou Lang smile bitterly, did Russia think that if it defeated Napoleon, it would be invincible in the world? Can you rely on your reputation to force China to cede land and pay compensation?

Zhou Lang refused without hesitation, but he couldn't help but consider the impact of Napoleon's defeat, because the morale of the officers of the New Army, who he had high hopes for, was greatly hit!

So he summoned the officers who had stayed in France and told them that if Napoleon was defeated, China would not be defeated. Because China is stronger than France!
