As for whether the Elam Legion is the Huai Army, and whether Istanbul is the court of the late Qing Dynasty, this is something that the true gods of the heavenly world do not know.

However, the Chinese ambassador to Istanbul, who has a close friendship with Ilam, knows that this Egyptian Pasha, codenamed 'Jiaomujiao' in the Military Intelligence Bureau, is definitely not a loyal subject who is loyal to the Sultan of Istanbul.

Egypt itself has a certain degree of autonomy, and the Mamluks are more like they recognize Istanbul as their boss than they are completely subservient.

Elam is definitely not the 'Great Qing Paste Framer' Li Hongzhang.

In fact, immediately after receiving the warning from the European Office, Ilam mobilized the army and leaked the information to Istanbul's 'own people' to test Istanbul's attitude on the matter.

He believed that the Chinese would certainly not just hand the news to themselves and not to Istanbul.

And the outcome of the incident made both Ilam and Chen Han's ambassador to the Ottoman breathe a sigh of relief, Istanbul did not mean to kill people with a knife.

Although the Elam Legion is really a bit eye-catching, Ilam himself is still more obedient, and in the previous war against Russia and Austria, Ilam also fought with his heart. Rather than simply avoiding war and cowardice, blindly preserving strength.

Therefore, in the eyes of Istanbul's magnates, Ilam is like a strong, large frontier governor who has not yet crossed the red line in Istanbul's heart.

Therefore, when Chen Huacheng and his entourage arrived in Nanjing on the Egret, the French expedition to Egypt and the war between France and the Ottomans had already begun.

The expeditionary fleet, which concentrated the main force of the French Mediterranean Fleet, carried tens of thousands of French soldiers and their commander Napoleon, and advanced into a world of deserts and oases.

……

In the middle of summer that year, Babeuf and Ping, who had risen rapidly after the Thermidorian coup, were completely eliminated by the Directory.

Babeuf, who was called the founder of the first "truly actionable communist party" in the history of the original plane, was arrested by the Directory along with other leaders of the Equality Congregation's plot to riot, and was soon sentenced to death by the Van Dom High Court.

Dong He, who was in charge of the affairs of the European Office, also wrote a special report to Nanjing on the issue of 'Babeuf and the Equality Association', because this Frenchman, who could not even write the simplest Chinese characters, unexpectedly had a connection with China that shocked Dong Huan, and after the Equality Society was bulldozed by the Governor in the name of rebellion, the "People's Tribune" led by Babeuf was seized, and Babeuf's residence was also sealed, and the French military and police dug out a lot of Babeuf's personal letters, which made Dong He stunned. The French even found a large number of Chinese works represented by Confucianism, such as the Analects and the Book of Rites, in Babeuf's residence.

Facts have proved that Babeuf's 'utopianism' is really influenced by Confucian Datong thought, which Dong Huan never expected. Babeuf's People's Tribune has been urging the people to rise up and abolish private property and build a society of "universal happiness" and "equality for all"; It envisaged the establishment of a "communist commune" centered on agriculture with egalitarian and ascetic characteristics.

This is an absolute utopianism, and before the 19th century came, how could the 'Great Harmony World' come.

However, the suppression of the Babeuf Equality Society greatly weakened the French republican forces, because Babeuf was himself a staunch supporter of the republican faction, and their death revived the republican rival royal power.

By this time, the latter had realized that it would be difficult to achieve restoration by force, and began to turn to legitimate struggle as the main means of seeking to enter the organs of power through elections. In the Senate and House of Five Hundred elections in the second month of Babeuf's death, the royal candidate won a resounding victory. The legislature, controlled by the royal lawmakers, passed a resolution pardoning the fugitives, restoring Catholicism, and removing a number of Republican ministers.

When the time came in the autumn, the republicans, who could not bear it anymore, decided to organize an armed uprising to restore the republican system. Napoleon played an important role in this new coup d'état. When the Directory was ineffective and the five consuls were at odds, General Jean-Charles Pisgru, one of the heroes of the Revolutionary War, was elected Speaker of the House of the Five Hundred, but although he was a hero of the revolution, he was always inclined to restore the monarchy. Napoleon himself, a hardcore republican (at least at the time), sent General André Masséna to Paris to spy on the winds, but the latter also had political ambitions and was soon drawn into the political maelstrom. The shrewd and perceptive Napoleon sent the venerable General Serière to Paris, falsely claiming to present the captured Austrian flag, but in fact counteracting the influence of Masséna, who had been on a par with Masséna but had no political ambitions, and declared his resolute support for the republic as soon as he arrived in Paris.

Napoleon then sent General Pierre-François Charles Augereau to Paris, and more than a month later, Augerro led the 17th Division to assist Barras in a coup d'état, arresting Pisgglu and others in one fell swoop, and completely crushing the conspiracy of the royal party to intervene in the political situation through the legislature. By the autumn, Napoleon had been reappointed commander of the Italian Legion to Legion of England, with Charles Antoni Desai, transferred from the Rhine Corps, as his deputy, and his chief of staff, Louis Alexandre Bertier, taking over as commander of the Italian Legion.

During this period, Napoleon's influence throughout France increased rapidly, and the victory in the Italian campaign became the subject of French literature and art. A large number of paintings, sculptures, songs and poems were produced, all of which were Napoleon's protagonists, and the opera "Pont de Lodi" was also staged, and whenever Napoleon's flag was played, the theater erupted in applause, and the rue de la Ködrin, where Napoleon lived, was renamed Rue de Triumph, and the honor poured down on the young general like a storm. After the coup d'état, due to the exile of the consul Carno, there was a vacancy in the place of the French Academy of Sciences, and at the end of the year, Napoleon was officially elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

As his political status continued to rise, Napoleon, despite his pretending to be an old-fashioned and uncontested leader, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the ambitions hidden in his heart were becoming stronger and more difficult to contain.

In any case, the title of commander of the English Legion was very attractive to Napoleon, and Barras and others hoped to divert the young man's excessive interest in politics. Because the object of the English Legion was the British Isles, if Napoleon really wanted to launch an expedition against Britain, it didn't matter whether he could return to this expedition or not. Because the war would inevitably cost Napoleon a great deal of time, it gave Ballas and his cronies time to consolidate their power, and even Barras and his henchmen were ready to bear the loss of 'Napoleon's defeat to England'.

For the sake of power, Barras doesn't care at all about letting a republic hero fall.

Napoleon himself was well aware of this, and what he did next was crucial to his life, and during that time he tried his best to repair his friendship with the European Office, and apologized for his previous 'coldness', because he needed the European Office to inform him of more information and information about the British. He had his own plans, so he was very motivated for an expedition to Britain, and he began to make military preparations, including inspecting ships, selecting generals, and so on.

Napoleon soon devised a plan to invade Britain. Prior to this, General Lazar Osh had made an unsuccessful landing at Bantry Bay in southwest Ireland in December 1796, and an unsuccessful landing at Fichgard in Pembroke Hill in February of the following year. Napoleon's attempts were larger than these two, and he ordered military factories to manufacture British-caliber artillery so that captured enemy shells could be used after landing. But when he ascertained the number of punts that the navy might provide, assessed the facilities of the port, and learned that the French navy had completely lost its supremacy of the sea, he concluded that an invasion of Britain was risky and unworkable.

Napoleon then suggested sending an expeditionary force to the countries on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean to threaten India's trade, but the Directory did not immediately reply. Although this strategic intent was conceived first by the Directory.

At that time, there was a popular belief among the French people that the occupation of Egypt would allow France to cut off trade between Britain and India. The French writers Renard and Vornay published a number of works promoting this view, and the famous French merchant Magalon and other Marseille merchants in Cairo also submitted petitions to the Directory, arguing that if Egypt became a French warehouse, it would be possible to subvert Britain's dominance in the Eastern world.

This idea has been brewing in France for centuries. As early as the time of Louis XIV, the Sun King considered the conquest of Egypt, and later Louis XV's foreign minister Schwarzell had the same dream, but France had always been an ally of Ottomans, and the latter was to a certain extent the ruler of Egypt, and this French dream was always empty and absurd.

However, Napoleon was strongly suppressed in the political arena by his former close allies such as Barras, and his advantage was not in the maneuvering of power, but in winning victory after victory on the battlefield.

Therefore, Napoleon was very eager to start foreign wars, so that generals like him could be used.

At this time, the appearance of a man attracted the eye of Napoleon. That is, the revolutionary bishop of Paris at the beginning of the revolution, but because of his collusion with Louis XVI, he was forced to wander for many years, and only last autumn did he win a pardon from the French revolutionary government and return to Paris Charles Maurice Talleyrand.

This fellow, who had passed Madame Staël, was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs by Ballas, was more than happy to deepen his friendship with Napoleon.

For this shrewd politician did not believe that the young Napoleon would always be subservient to the rotten Directory.

Napoleon was a shining star in French politics, and Talleyrand was very willing to get close to him.

And from the point of view of a diplomat, Talleyrand was a qualified diplomat, he had a very diplomatic vision, and he always advocated launching an expedition against Egypt. He published a paper at the French Academy of Sciences on the benefits of new colonies, including Egypt, which attracted Napoleon. In his dissertation, Talleyrand laid out a clear plan to send troops to Malta and Egypt to cut off the lines of communication between Britain and the Eastern world.

For Napoleon, it can be said that a pillow was handed to him when he was sleepy.

In February of the twenty-fourth year of the year, Napoleon received orders. Although some French considered it unjust to attack Egypt, the territory of the Sultanate of Turkey, an old French ally, the Directory agreed to Napoleon's expedition to Egypt.

On the one hand, France, after its victory over Austria, a traditional continental power in Europe, urgently demanded a showdown with Great Britain, the reorganizer of the anti-French alliance; On the other hand, if the Directory really wanted the war to attract Napoleon's energy and wisdom, and England had already been vetoed by Napoleon, then the Ottomans were also a good choice. lest this jealous, ambitious young man turn against himself in Paris.

This expedition to Egypt was in line with Napoleon's wishes and the Directory's wishes. If the victory returned, the Directory could use it to further consolidate its rule. If Napoleon had failed, or had died in battle, the Directory would have been relieved of its grievances, and they would be willing to endure the loss of a brilliant general.

And this is politics, the politics of the weak by the strong!

Cruel, cold-blooded, without the slightest mercy.

If you don't put your opponent to death and put a shot in the heart of your opponent's dead body, you are not a qualified politician.

The long distance and slow means of transportation made it possible for the news to reach Nanjing, and the time had already reached the summer of the twenty-fourth year of Chengtian. In 1798, Emperor Chen of China was already working on the construction of the Suez Canal, and the labor office under the Immigration Bureau began to openly and massively recruit migrant workers in Japan, Malay, Annam, Burma, Luzon, Jawa and other places.

After the news of the Heavenly World was urgently sent to Nanjing, Chen Mingmei frowned and walked away for a long time.

He has been stirring up wind and rain in the Oriental world for more than ten years, and he has also butterflies out of a large piece of Central America, and now the wars in the Americas have entered the harvest stage, and the regular army and colonial army of the Spaniards in the Americas have suffered a heavy blow from the garrison army.

The names of the hexagon and the Mini rifle shocked Europe, and even the Elam demanded them from China.

The war in India has also stopped, and the Sultan of Tiepu cannot be considered a defeat, but the huge losses are too much for the Kingdom of Mysore to bear. The army of the King of Mysore alone could not materially threaten the British in India, and their thousands of miles of coastline were under the random attack of British warships.

But the pressure on the British was not small, and the two vicious dogs and a puppy raised by China in the Himalayas were finally scattered.

Each of the kingdoms of Ladakh, Bhutan and the Gurkha eats with a round belly.

Although this made the Marathas, who are now 'Cao Cao' in India, coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, the Indian emperor of Delhi is in their hands, as the overlord of North India, the Marathas certainly do not want to see the Gurkhas, Bhutanese and Ladakh become stronger.

But they can't help it.

The situation in India has slowly calmed down under these many containments, and only the Sikhs in the northwest have calmed down.

Chen Ming: He has struggled in this world for so many years, why hasn't there been a big change in the evolution of Europe?

The Revolution had been postponed for a long time, and now that Napoleon was on an expedition to Egypt, time was back on track.

In 1798, Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in the history of time and space was 1798. Then it took half a year before to give 'correction' again?

Of course, what Chen Ming has to consider now is not this problem, but whether the construction department that has been formed will be sent to Egypt as planned?

In the current situation, is it appropriate to send a few thousand Chinese and a larger number of laborers to Egypt? Is it safe?

With the variable of Ilam, Chen Ming believes that Napoleon will not conquer Egypt on land so easily, but this does not mean that Egypt is stable and stable at the moment.
