It's winter again, and the heavy snow in the north falls one after another, either like goose feathers or frost, decorating the earth, mountains and rivers into a white world, crystal clear, and covered in silver.

When not considering other external factors such as the military and people's livelihood, Chen Ming still likes snow very much, he also likes rain, strong winds, hail, and all natural weather disasters.

People lie on the couch, holding a book in their hands, holding a cup of hot tea in their hands, and listening to the sound of the dripping rain outside, or the whistling wind, that is a kind of life enjoyment.

Now he listened to the creaking of the snow outside, holding the "Treaty of Alexander" that had just been sent by the cabinet in his hand, and read it carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on his face!

- The French and the Ottomans reconciled.

Napoleon, who had just ascended to the highest position of power in Paris, was faced with a crisis. For more than a year when he led his expedition to Egypt, the situation facing France was very serious. In the winter of 1798, Russia, Britain, Austria, Spain, Ottoman, Naples and other countries once again formed the Second Anti-French Alliance. The masterminds and organizers were also British, and the pillars of military operations were Russia and Austria. On the European mainland, the anti-French coalition attacked France from four fronts: Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the Rhine region. At the beginning of 1799, the Russian-Austrian army led by the famous Russian general Suvorov defeated the French army in Italy, occupied Milan in April, captured Mantua and Alexandria in the middle of summer, and won a decisive victory in Novi in early autumn, the French general, the commander-in-chief of the Italian Front, Joubert, was killed directly, and France lost more than 10,000 people in that battle. Napoleon's success was completely in vain, and northern Italy became a colony of Austria.

The successive defeats in the war reminded the French of Napoleon. Is it difficult for the country to think of famous generals?

The French army was beaten into dogs by Suvorov in northern Italy, so where are the former Italian victors now? Where did the victorious army he led go?

Is it in the national interest that the hero of the Republic and the tens of thousands of loyal French men under his command shed their blood in distant desert regions, while the motherland, which had once achieved glorious victories, was humiliated on its own frontier?

All of France was looking forward to the speedy return of Napoleon, who was trapped in Egypt.

Therefore, Napoleon's abandonment of the command of the Egyptian expeditionary force and the return of only a small number of troops to mainland France was by no means a brainless operation.

The intrigues, corruption, incompetence, and economic embarrassment of the Directory of Paris have sparked discontent among all classes of the French community. The millions of gold coins that Napoleon had brought from Italy to Paris had been embezzled by officials and speculators under the patronage of the Directory. And countless people in the urban and rural areas continue to starve, and the common people need at least a regime that can feed them, right?

Soldiers in the army lacked material and food supplies, and thousands of people wandered around to avoid military service. The propertied classes also blamed the Directory for its incompetence, because the Directory's domestic and foreign policies did not benefit them in any way. Even the defunct royalist movement suddenly revived in the Vendée. Some royalists had the audacity to shout "Long live Suvorov!" in the streets. country". The whole of France was full of unrest, turmoil and discontent.

The five Governors of the Directory were conflicting and intrigued, and there was no longer enough power to subdue the various parties and calm the anger. Countless French people are looking forward to the emergence of a powerful figure who will lead them to restore the peace and glory of France to its former glory.

It was under these circumstances that Napoleon landed at Fregus with a small number of Personal Guard troops, and he was welcomed throughout France. He was greeted with solemn ceremonies, stirring speeches, lanterns, and parades, as the hope of the Republic.

Then the coup d'état initiated by Napoleon was rightfully successful. However, the dangerous situation in France has not been alleviated, and the only solution to this is war.

Napoleon, who served as the first consul of France, personally led the army to cross the Alps again, defeated the Austrian army on the Italian and Genoese sides, and won the famous victory at the Battle of Milan. Soon after, the famous French general Moreau also ushered in the pinnacle battle of his life - the Battle of Hohenlinden, which gave him a shining medal for his horse career. At the cost of losing 2,500 men, Moreau annihilated 14,000 enemies, including 9,000 Austrian soldiers, laying a solid foundation for smashing the Second Anti-French Alliance.

Chen Ming now has not only the text of the peace agreement between France and the Ottomans, but also the major events that have taken place on the European continent during this period of time.

For the development of Napoleon, for the evolution of the situation in Europe, he was satisfied.

Although this victory in the Battle of Milan made Chen Ming secretly feel dazzling. During the Second Anti-French Coalition in the history of the original time and space, he remembered that there was a Battle of Marengo, which can be said to be the first battle after Napoleon gained supreme power, and the first battle to establish his authority and consolidate his authority.

But now the Battle of Marengo was replaced by the Battle of Milan, although this battle still involved the village of Marengo, but the battle did not take place in this village, but in the village of San Giriano not far from the village of Marengo.

But in general, the purpose of the battle was Milan, although the decisive battle was already over when the French entered Milan. The changes in the fight made this battle change from the Battle of Marengo to the Battle of Milan, and Chen Ming did not feel the inertia of history.

The situation in Europe was the way it was, the French were beaten so miserably by Suvorov, where to fight, there were not many options for such a meeting, and even the timing of this battle did not change much.

It's just a fine-tuning in the big climate. Napoleon, because of the strategic situation and the topography, decided the location and date of the battle.

But Chen Ming believes that today's battle of Milan is definitely different from the historical Battle of Marengo. Whether it is the Mini rifle, or the hexagonal cannon and rockets, they have brought significant changes to today's warfare.

This was the end of the matter in Egypt, and the British tried to intervene in it several times, but the Ottomans refused. Now, if the British don't want to turn against the Ottomans immediately, it will have no effect on the Suez Canal. For the year 1800, peace will return to the heavenly world.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside, so don't go out today." Chen Ming is not staying in Nanjing now, he has returned to Lushan. At the same time, he also went back to his cheap Lao Tzu's spiritual position.

Lushan, that's where Chen's temple is located.

……

The winter in the north is cold and snowy, but Myanmar is still as warm as summer.

People here don't need thick clothes at all, and the climate is between 25 and 30 degrees, which would be very pleasant if it weren't for the humidity of the air.

Winter in China is in the middle of November in the Western calendar, and the humidity has not yet faded after the rainy season, which is the time when Myanmar has the most variety of tropical fruits.

Dingnan, formerly the second largest city in Myanmar, Yangon. Today, it is a city full of Chinese flavor.

The new buildings that can be seen are full of horizontal and vertical lines, without the slightest taste of Burmese tradition, and the Chinese classical architecture mixed with them one after another makes people think that this is Myanmar. It's a Chinese city through and through.

In particular, the government departments of this city have uniform cornices and corners, black tile spires, and are filled with a strong Chinese atmosphere.

As an important large port of China in the Bay of Bengal, Dingnan's economy is quite developed, and has surpassed the capital of Myanmar Province, Mande.

It's just that the population here is not too much, and the population of the entire Dingnan Province together is only six or seven hundred thousand.

About half of them are indigenous people, and more than half of them speak Chinese, especially those who are younger. The remaining half of the population consisted of less than 100,000 Han Chinese immigrants, and the rest were indigenous people from Shan State. These people are also Chinese, and their status in Dingnanfu is even higher than that of the Mon.

These people are also very happy to show their superiority in front of the Mon and Burmese people, and the proportion of people who can speak Sinicization is even higher. In a way, it's also a kind of transformation. And it works great.

As the estuary delta of the Dulong River [Irrawaddy River], Dingnan has fertile land, with more than 90% of the plain area and superior agricultural conditions.

So the immigrants easily gained a foothold here.

The indigenous people who resisted China's entry fled either to Bangladesh or to Arakan.

Over the years, Myanmar under the rule of Chen Han has vigorously developed three industries: one is planting, rice cultivation is the fist product here, and the climate of Myanmar is very suitable for rice growth. The second is the logging industry, which has been greatly enriched by Myanmar's abundant forestry resources, which has made a lot of profits over the years. The last one is the mining industry, which is also one of the most important economic resources in Myanmar.

All three industries require a lot of labor, and many of the indigenous people in Myanmar, especially the Burmese people, have fallen silently in the forests, farms and mines over the years. Their families may receive a handsome compensation for this – compared to Burma, but is there a bird to do?

Myanmar's demographics are accessible only to senior officials here. The data is very clear that Myanmar's indigenous population is declining.

In particular, the Burmese population, which was mainly suppressed by the conquest, lost more than twice as fast as the Mon.

At the same time, the birth rate and survival rate of Chinese immigrants here are 1.4 times and 2.5 times higher than those of local aborigines. And the aborigines of this number are still the average of the Burmese and Mon, and if it is only the Burmese, then the final conclusion will be even higher.

In the ten or twenty years since the Chinese migrated, their family property has far surpassed that of the local aborigines. With the recent establishment of the Myanmar Local Advisory Council, the number of aborigines, who make up half of the population of Dinh Nam Province, has been elected to less than 20% of parliaments due to the rigid rules on status, occupation, property, and taxation.

Under the vassal of the Shan immigrants, the Han immigrants became more and more powerful, their voices became higher and higher, and the aborigines had few rights.

- No one will speak out for the rights of the aborigines, and it is the greatest pity for them to be able to discriminately discriminate against them and oppress them, as they did with the green natives of the South Seas, and gradually compress their living space. Besides, I really can't stand it anymore, can I move to Bangladesh, I can run to Arakan.

Mon Yun's small dynasty still exists in Arakan, serving as a buffer zone that separates Bengal from the direct border with Burma.

Anyone who is dissatisfied with Chen Han can be sent to Arakan. Chen Ming did not restrict it. In today's era, the strong people in the world are such virtuous, and the Chinese are already very good.
