232 Young Guards
Under limited conditions, Lin Haoda made the enthronement ceremony as formal as possible, so as to gain the recognition of other monarchies in the European continent, and Lin Haoda did not need the support of other European countries, as long as they did not point the finger at themselves and openly declared King Louis XVII illegitimate.
As for the high-profile declarations of the local democrats and the Jacobin leader Robespierre, who turned all this into absurdity, they were directly ignored by Lin Haoda.
In Europe, where tradition was valued, Louis XVII's accession to the throne was still recognized by most of the nobility, and the old nobles and exiles entrenched in Strasbourg were the first to declare the legitimacy of King Louis XVII, because only if King Louis XVII was legitimate, France could continue to be called a kingdom!
Subsequently, the rebel clergy and local aristocratic forces in the Vendée region also announced the recognition of the legitimacy of King Louis XVII, because Lin Haoda had privately stated that he would not recognize a series of resolutions of the previous National Constituent Assembly to ban church property.
Anyway, most of the land has been confiscated by the democratic local government, and it is not in Lin Haoda's hands, and he only needs to express one attitude.
In addition, there were scattered local nobles who recognized the legitimacy of Louis XVII, however, the Marquis de Lafayette, the commander of the 50,000 elite royal army, did not agree, and after learning of the death of King Louis XVI, he accelerated his private cooperation with the Austrian and Prussian royal families, hoping to give himself the title of Grand Duke of Belgium and legitimize the Belgian land he occupied, as long as this wish could be achieved, the Marquis de Lafayette was willing to swear allegiance to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
However, Belgium originally belonged to Austria's sphere of influence, and the emperor of the HRE Empire was not very interested in the Marquis de Lafayette's invaluable refuge, but he did not oppose it, so he hung the appetite of the Marquis Lafayette out of thin air, resulting in the so-called royalist army of the Marquis Lafayette more like a private warlord entrenched in Belgium......
If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis de Lafayette knew the source of his rights, treated the 50,000 royalist army under his command favorably, exploited the local peasants to supply his own army without restrictions, and firmly controlled the hearts of these 50,000 elite soldiers, I am afraid that at the moment of Louis XVI's death, the so-called royalist army would have been scattered......
However, even though the Marquis de Lafayette rallied the 50,000 royalist army around him with material privileges, most of the French soldiers in the royalist army felt uncertain about the future, and basically lost faith in national honor, and only regarded themselves as mercenaries who betrayed their loyalty for money.
There was only one element left to maintain the morale of the Royalist soldiers - the Marquis de Lafayette gave them money to spend and supported them, so they would continue to serve the Marquis de Lafayette.
The day after the new king of the French kingdom, Louis XVII, ascended the throne, Lin Haoda married Louis XVII's sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Marie, as the Duke of Paris, and was given the position of regent by King Louis XVII at the same time as the wedding!
He is in charge of all political, military, economic and other matters of the Kingdom of France, and stands above the heads of the French people in the posture of a dictator!
The establishment of the regent caused a great shock to the French nation, and those hostile democrats did not need to mention it, and there was no shameless ...... not to scold Lin Haoda
The liberal bourgeoisie, who had been watching the play, completely deviated from the royal family after Lin Haoda was awarded the post of regent by King Louis XVII, believing that the royal family had abandoned the pride and dignity of the French nation, and no longer disdained to associate with it, and completely switched to the Gironde party, which represented the interests of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie.
All of a sudden, the royal family lost almost all the support of the bourgeoisie, and the Girondists, who had already been overthrown, were greatly strengthened by the support of a large number of capitalists who were afraid of the clay-legged revolution.
On the one hand, they did not want to obey the orders of this Asian yellow 'grass head king', and on the other hand, they could not deny the direct bloodline left by King Louis XVI, and the only thing they could do was to change from the previous full support for the revival of the royal family to a relatively independent state.
The local nobility ostensibly continued to support King Louis XVII, but resolved not to obey any decree from the regent of Paris!
I have to say that after Lin Haoda became the regent of France, the hearts of the old power class that had just been reunited were smashed again, and the French dignitaries who were unwilling to recognize Lin Haoda's status fell into a scattered situation......
Of course, Lin Haoda didn't care about the attitude and fate of the French dignitaries at all, because after he was canonized as regent by King Louis XVII, a pleasant all-out war system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Congratulations to the Marshal for gaining a huge prestige bonus and becoming the regent of the entire French nation, although your actual rights are limited to the Paris region, and the local French people are very resistant to your regent status, but under the canonization of the direct royal blood left by King Louis XVI, your regent status is in line with the European tradition, because other European powers that are facing the threat of French revolutionary ideas have also acquiesced in your regent status in disguise, This has given you an unimaginable boost in popularity, and from now on you are no longer a politician confined to France, but a French regent valued by the kings of the entire continent!
Obtain the system title Regent of France, increase your reputation level to level 10, and get the first die-hard class promotion - Young Guard!
Congratulations to the French Regent, you deserve to have the first army that is willing to die generously for your will under such a brilliant prestige achievement, the line infantry class template is promoted to the Young Guard, the price has begun to change, the data has been adjusted, added to the class mall, please open the class mall by yourself to view the data, the die-hard army is willing to fight for you to the last soldier, it is worth you to have! 】
Lin Haoda, who suddenly got the first die-hard level soldier, was so excited that even Princess Mary's wife was temporarily abandoned, and sat alone in the office to check the data of the Young Guards first, as for the cheap line infantry being replaced, Lin Haoda didn't feel distressed at all!
He knew too well the huge difference between a die-hard army and an ordinary army, and the reason why the line infantry suffered so much damage in battle was because the line infantry had the fear of saving their lives, and it was not uncommon for them to be crushed in the face of stubborn enemies on the battlefield.
The die-hard army is a force that is stronger than the grenadiers and the line warrior infantry regiment, and it can completely ignore the death and fight, as long as the price of the Young Guards is not outrageously high, the infantry can completely explode this branch of the army alone after Lin Haoda.
Lin Haoda couldn't wait to pull out the class mall of the Total War System and began to inquire about the information of the Young Guards, the Total War System really never lies, and it really brought him a big surprise after reaching level ten in prestige, there is nothing more exciting than getting a die-hard class!
[Class: Young Guard.]
Scale: 5,000 standard brigades / 10,000 historical smashing points
Maximum effective range: 80 yards
Introduction: It is a great honor to be able to participate in this vigorous and disciplined Young Guard. The Young Guards are a die-hard army that puts loyalty ahead of their lives, and although they are still a little immature, the Young Guards are fearless!
Equipment: flintlock musket with bayonet, saber handle.
Costume: Black tall saffron-patterned hat with red feathers, blue and white shirt, white pants, buckled black combat boots.
Advantages: Possess a cult of personality morale and slightly higher hand-to-hand combat and shooting ability than line infantry.
Description: The cost of recruitment and maintenance is only slightly higher than that of ordinary line infantry, and it belongs to the elite of line infantry, they are fighting for their ideals and glory, so the belief in battle is more tenacious, and even when the allegiance object is on the battlefield, they can fight to the last man without breaking down! The cult of personality is the most prominent characteristic of these young people, and perhaps their combat experience is not as outstanding as that of elite veterans, but their courage in the face of death is by no means inferior to that of any army!
Be warned, if you want them to fight to the last man, you'll have to be on the battlefield and take command! 】
"Haha, with such fanatical morale, only 100 people from 200 historical smashing points are carried on their backs, which is cheaper than the chasseurs, and the replacement of the line infantry by it is definitely earned! In the future, there is no need to recruit grenadiers or anything, at most they can be equipped with some huntsmen with superb marksmanship in the jungle and mountains, and the Young Guards will be the real core of the field under the Iron Cross Eagle in the future! ”
Lin Haoda thought radiantly that the performance of the commander of the Young Guards Army in person with constant morale as a diehard loyalist is definitely worth making up for the cheap advantage brought by the line infantry, what he needs most now is this kind of core elite who are not afraid of death, this is not a line warrior infantry regiment that is limited to two thousand people and cannot be recruited, but the ace core of the Young Guards that can be recruited indefinitely!
How many armies in the entire continent can fight to the last man?!
"Hehe, with such a great prospect, why don't you celebrate with a little beauty?" After checking the information of the Young Guard, Lin Haoda left the office and went to Princess Mary's boudoir.
