The Chinese Oriental style of governance is more conducive to stability, because the emperor does not need to be personally recruited, so it is difficult for the head of state to die unexpectedly, no matter how many generals die, the state power is as stable as Mount Tai, but unfortunately, because the emperor did not come to the front line, he will only talk on paper, and it is difficult to make great improvements in the military.

Naturally, the ancient countries of the East have developed the habit of defending the city, looking at the countries in the period of expansion in Chinese history, the emperors are more or less ruthless people who have fought wars, and the reason why the expansion force is very strong during the founding period is because the founding emperors basically came to command the war step by step, and the emperor who knew the military affairs naturally knew how to fight, and it was naturally easier to expand.

If the emperor does not know about military affairs, he can only rely on the emergence of well-known generals that are rare in history, or simply use several times the national strength of the enemy to run over directly......

On the other hand, in modern European countries, they often create war miracles, frequent wars and weak countries, forcing the monarchs of various countries to be unable to enjoy life in the rear steadily, and have to wear armor and lead soldiers to recruit in person, and even many kings are unlucky to die directly on the battlefield!

But it was this wolf-like desperate spirit that made the military power of the European continent leap forward by leaps and bounds after freeing itself from the shackles of the church.

From the Spanish Grand Package to the Morris Small Package, to Gustav's battle line tactics, until it was perfected and developed into today's queue shooting tactics, these huge military reforms were not thought up by European commanders patting their heads, they were all watered with tons of soldiers and generals' blood!

It is nothing more than being born in sorrow and dying in peace.

The stability of the ancient Oriental countries and the war in Europe are the fundamental reasons for the earth-shaking reversal of the military strength of the two sides in just a hundred years in modern times.

If you really want to talk about the germination of capitalism, China originated much earlier than Europe!

It is a pity that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's more than 200 years of peaceful rule and closed off the country policy completely abandoned the advantages of the ancient Oriental countries.

The fear of the Yellow Peril that the Mongols once brought to the Europeans disappeared, and the two Opium Wars tore the last fig leaf of the ancient Oriental country to shreds, even if it was the Battle of Bali Bridge, which was the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the casualty ratio made Britain and France laugh off their teeth, and even the British Parliament appeared in the British Parliament that the British generals should not be commended in the Battle of Bali Bridge, because the British parliamentarians thought that it was not a battle at all, but just an armed parade......

Of course, this kind of voice disappeared after the British army looted the city of Beijing and brought back a large amount of wealth, and in the eyes of the British parliamentarians, the casualties were more unscientific than the Bali Bridge did not deserve to be called a real battle, but it was also worthy of praise to be able to bring back such a huge wealth.

At that time, the British Parliament appeared this kind of argument, not because the British liked infighting, but because it was difficult to have such a disparity in casualties on the European battlefield at that time......

The Battle of Bali Bridge broke the backbone of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it also really established the superiority of white Europeans in front of the Oriental race, and this sense of superiority even continued into the 21st century.

In late 1795, Lin Haoda was busy accepting the surrender of the Dutch, reorganizing the government institutions of the Dutch Republic, and sending the Imperial Guard to build long-term garrison barracks in the military strongholds of the Dutch Republic.

All the supplies of these Imperial Guards do not require Lin Haoda to pay a penny, they are completely supported by the Dutch Republic, and the overlord strategy of the US garrison in the 21st century has been inherited by Lin Haoda quite perfectly......

Such an unreasonable agreement, the Dutch are naturally not happy, it is enough to have foreign troops stationed in the country, and they have to pay for it themselves, what is this?

It is a pity that the voice of opposition is so weak in the face of the bayonets of the army, and if the reason had worked, there would not have been frequent wars in the world......

The protest of the Dutch is the same as the protest of the weak country against the strong in later generations, there is no deterrent, Lin Haoda didn't even bother to respond, after promoting a group of Dutch 'people of insight' who are willing to cooperate with him and will not chirp crookedly, Lin Haoda can safely take the army back to France to aid France.

With the cooperation of the 'people of insight' in the government of the Dutch Republic who cooperated with Lin Haoda for their own interests, Lin Haoda easily suppressed the mob armed forces who were ineffective in protesting and intended to protest violently.

However, thousands of miles away in the Cherbourg region, which Lin Haoda did not know, a classic battle that would be listed in the history books of later generations was slowly unfolding.

50,000 Imperial Guards and 10,000 Young Guardsmen, in the loyal and efficient government of Lin Haoda, soon marched into Brittany and successfully blocked the 30,000 elite troops that had landed in the British.

The military commander of the 50,000 Imperial Guards is General Carlson, who appeared with the army, and is also the supreme commander of the whole army this time, and General Parkinson, the military commander of the 10,000 Young Guards, is the 'deputy marshal' of the 60,000-strong army (Lin Haoda's army does not have the rank of commander and deputy marshal, this is just a fictitious title, which represents the ownership of command. ）

General Carlson, like other generals born of the all-out war system, was a die-hard loyalist of Lin Haoda, and he naturally had to carry out Lin Haoda's order to encircle and annihilate 30,000 British elites.

Moreover, the encirclement and annihilation of 30,000 British troops by 60,000 troops was an absolutely superior battle no matter how you look at it, and General Carlson naturally hoped to solve the enemy once and for all with a decisive battle.

General Carlson had a significant advantage in a frontal field battle with the British, he had 5,000 more cavalry troops than the British!

In order to transport as many infantry as possible, the British did not bring in formed cavalry units, after all, in the British plan, this group of 30,000 vanguard troops only used to establish a solid forward base and test Lin Haoda's military strength.

It's just that what the British didn't expect was that Lin Haoda, who brought out 200,000 troops to expedition to the Netherlands, could gather so many field regiments in a short period of time in France itself!

Lin Haoda's violent ability made the British gain a big 'surprise', but the arrogant British elite army did not have the idea of retreating in the face of enemy troops that were far more numerous than their own.
