Although Napoleon was acquitted from prison, he was never recaptured, and the new government, headed by the Governor Barras, did not trust Napoleon. So he was whipped to the end, with nothing but the rank of brigadier general and a salary. This is no different from waiting for death in retirement!

Napoleon waited left and right, up and down, and only then did he get a new appointment. The Parisian side tried to transfer him out of Toulon and the Alpine regiment to serve as an officer in the garrison of the Vendée, which was simply uprooted! If that's all it takes, guess what, instead of transferring him from his old subordinates, he will not be an artillery officer, but an infantry officer!

Can you imagine? For Napoleon, this is simply a demotion punishment, he is an artillery officer, but he is transferred to command the most boring infantry units, isn't this overkill, fine iron nailing? To let Napoleon, an artillery officer, lead those boring infantrymen and lead them in a line to be shot, this is simply a violent thing! It's like taking the Longquan sword to chop vegetables! (Broken heart: baby grievances!) ）

So, of course, our Brigadier General refused the appointment, and he did not receive any new appointments after that, so our Brigadier General began to "herd sheep" in Paris.

He was clearly an idle man, and despite being a brigadier general, his "pension" was no less expensive. Moreover, Joseph had succeeded in pocketing that Miss Julie Clalley and her rich fortune, and had turned a lot of money on the arms business, and the Bonaparte family was in fact a large sum, and was not short of money to spend. But our Brigadier General is still trying to find a job to do, after all~ he is a man who wants face and backbone!

He tried his hand at the book business, which in Han Xing's eyes was more like a "Taobao seller", and after sending a box of books to Basel in Hesse, His Excellency's book business ended in a bad way! Because the buyer did not pay him as agreed, this drew an unsatisfactory end to the first business of our "novice Taobao seller"!

He also tried to get himself back into the army, and he went to the house of the Governor Baras to attend a banquet, but the grim face on his face, the smell of yīn from above and below, the "outstanding" (shēn) height and his clumsy performance at the banquet made him look out of place among the well-dressed elites.

He can talk about a war in a far-stricken, gripping way, but once the topic leaves the war side, he becomes an alien and even a light bulb! He knew nothing about what was fashionable in Paris, and he had little interest, but alas, in the conversation of high society, war was always just an spice for a good and peaceful life!

Obviously, he is not a good person who is good at disguising himself (qíng), and he is arrogant (shēn) and scoffs at the so-called big names and their stupid power games from the bottom of his heart. This makes him unable to learn at all, or disdain to learn the hypocrisy and pretentiousness of the upper class.

So, of course, he did not succeed in winning the favor of the Overseer, Baras, and after attending one such banquet, and feeling the strange look in the eyes of those in the upper echelons, our Brigadier General never went to such a social occasion again. In fact, he was also on the blacklist of those upper echelons! Behind the scenes, people call him "Corsican Eccentric", the legendary party poison, the party killer, and the embarrassing chatter!

Eventually, he got a job at the Military Surveying and Mapping Bureau, a parastatal body responsible for surveying the terrain and drawing maps. It's barely related to the military, but it's too nonsense to let the future great military strategists draw maps!

It turns out that even the great man can feel helpless! It is true that Napoleon's talents were in the political and military aspects, and aside from these two aspects, Napoleon was just a loser in life! The legendary great man is actually not much stronger than us ordinary people! To put it another way, those of us who are dying and struggling in our daily lives may just not be able to touch what we are good at and start to make a big difference!

Paris in the summer was bitterly cold for Napoleon, not the air, but the eyes! He walks alone on the streets, and even goes to the opera alone, if there is a classification for loneliness, going to the opera and movies alone, even if it is not the top, it is not much worse! Such a life even led Napoleon to utter the famous phrase: without chance, talent is equal to zero!

Everyone in the opera house is laughing, only Napoleon has no face (qíng), and he laughs when others are crying, which seems so out of place and out of place! This is not because he is perverted, but because he has been immersed in his own world, and his brain circuits are different from ordinary people at all, simply put, "not in the same channel"!

There is a saying that "great men never think about what is in front of them"! When he is doing one thing (qíng), he is thinking about the next thing (qíng), because the thing at hand has already been thought about and planned before, and he just needs to do it step by step. That's the difference between a great man and an ordinary man!

His old friends are all self-assured, no one can help him even the slightest favor, even Mr. Salichetti has fled to a friendly home, and has become a rich man with peace of mind, living a life of no nights, no shame and no restlessness.

Napoleon wrote them one earnest letter after another, but unfortunately there was no news, in order to get the other party to reply to him. Napoleon even went so far as to attach a small request to it, such as: Please enclose a high-quality measuring instrument for the army. But the results can be imagined!

When Napoleon was transferred out of the Alpine Legion in Toulon, Han Xing was also transferred. However, given that Han Xing was not involved in Robespierre's problem, he was only transferred to the Italian Legion. However, the Italian legion was perhaps the weakest of all the French legions!

The name alone allows you to see the reason for its decline, Italy? Hehe! What does France have to do with Italy? Italy is Italy, France is France, it's not a place at all! Even if France occupies a small part of Italy, it is still small and pitiful! So the Italian legion is naturally small and pitiful!

Fortunately, the commander of the Italian Legion had a relationship with Han Xing, who had participated in the siege of Toulon and was barely a comrade-in-arms with Han Xing. This white-bearded veteran general is approaching sixty years old this year, and he is the old man of the original French ** team, with very deep qualifications, and even participated in the Seven Years War.

According to Louis XVI, he had been the commander of the Italian legion for many years, and the reason why he was able to remain this commander was probably because of the uneven Italian side, so he was retained. Rao is like this, the Italian army has always been "raised by the mother", and it has almost become a common practice to eat and take buckles on it, and there is always a shortage of arms updates and material supplies.

This white-bearded old general is very good to Han Xing, probably because of Han Xing's extraordinary courage on the battlefield! Therefore, Han Xing was able to take a long vacation and skip work to Paris to find Napoleon.

"Hanschel, what do I say! I said I'd be out soon! When Han Xing met Napoleon, he was sitting in a chair, looking intently at a book in the light of day, and even the afternoon sun could not dispel the gloom on his face.

"By the way, this is my brother, Louie!" Napoleon closed the book, gave Han Xing a hug, and then pointed to a young blonde boy with a typical Bonaparte look.

Louis (shēn) (tǐng) made his own (xiōng) chamber and then gave Han Xing a twisted military salute, apparently to show off his own manhood, or perhaps because of Napoleon's solid military education at home.

"Hanschel, he's a fan of your madness! You, a cavalry officer, are much better in his eyes than my brother, who is an artillery officer! Napoleon teased with a laugh. Han Xing could clearly see that when Napoleon said this, a trace of blush flashed on Louis's face.

"Major Segaard, I've heard Napoleon say a lot about you! I want to ······" With a look of shyness, this young man mustered up the courage to speak, but the voice became quieter and quieter.

"Alright, Hanschel, I won't go around in circles, I'm going to let Louis join the army! You have also seen that he really needs to go to the army to have a good experience! After all, the battlefield is the most important place to grow! Seeing Louis's stumbling and desperate look, Napoleon had no choice but to speak for him.

"What do you mean?" Han Xing had guessed what Napoleon meant, but he decided to confirm it, so he asked with doubts.

"Let him follow you! Originally, I was going to leave him by my side (shēn), but he liked cavalry so much, and I was dismissed from my post again~ Alas, I had to pull down my face and ask you for help! Napoleon sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll protect him!" Han Xing immediately patted (xiōng) and said. As soon as he heard Han Xingying (yǔn), Louie's originally drooping head suddenly lifted, and his eyes flashed with a color called surprise.

"Don't protect him too well! I don't want my brother to be like a big girl forever! Napoleon quietly came to Han Xing's ear and whispered to him.

"You think I'm stupid! I'm out of luck if I don't protect him! Han Xing thought in his heart.

That night, Han Xing slept in Napoleon's house, and of course, the Bonaparte family, who are now quite wealthy, did not live in the attic where Napoleon lived in the past, but in a spacious two-story villa with a good location and view. You know, Napoleon even wrote a letter suggesting that Joseph buy real estate with banknotes that are prone to depreciation to preserve its value. So this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Bonaparte family's fortune!

The next day, Han Xing took Louis on horseback and headed for the Italian legion in the direction of Nice.

The fresh air and the beauty of the countryside were indeed soothing, and Louis was a good rider, and as the two of them gradually left Paris and entered the wilderness of rural France, Louis began to become cheerful, and his smile frequently bloomed on his young face.

"Major Segaard, what does the battlefield look like?" Louis rode the horse and Han Xing side by side, and then asked with a curious expression.

"It's hard to say, Louie, the battlefield may not be as beautiful as you think!" Han Xing didn't know how to explain the definition of the battlefield to this immature young man, and he couldn't bear to shatter this young man's beautiful fantasy about the battlefield.

"Major Segaard, you must have a lot of wonderful stories, right? Can you tell me about it? Let's just say that in the Battle of Little Gibraltar, you took the cavalry to meet the British and annihilated them, okay? Louis pleaded with a look of anticipation.

"Alright! ········ day" Han Xing tried to tell Louis about the brutality of the battlefield in a tactful way, so he used a lot of words to focus on the horrors of the battlefield, the ròu (stumps), the horrific wounds, and the blood that pooled into streams.

"The battlefield is terrifying!" Louis said with a little fear, his face a little pale.

"That's why your brother doesn't want you to be a cavalryman!" Han Xing sighed and said.

"I'm not afraid of bloodshed, I'm not afraid of being hurt! I want to be a man who stands up to the sky, I want to be a brave and fearless cavalryman, rushing to the forefront of the ranks! Louis (tǐng) 了 (tǐng) (xiōng) chamber, said with an excited face.

"Well, then you'll have to start wielding a saber! Your equestrian is still a long way from going to war! Han Xing had no choice but to hold his forehead.

Within a month of returning to the Italian Legion, Han Xing had Barristan take over Louis's teaching, and he was trained as a knight, and even Barristan deeply admired Louis's perseverance and determination, believing that he could definitely become a good knight.

Louis didn't seem to be as unbearable as Napoleon thought, which made Han Xing feel a little confused, "Maybe the existence of Napoleon's brother did put too much pressure on his younger brothers?" ”
