Chapter 122: The Court's Flattery

"Report to the commander, our army has occupied the passage to the inner city, request instructions for the next step!"

The soldier in charge of delivering the order came to Major General Regnio and saluted General Reño and said.

"Tell Edgar. Major Ney, order him to take control of the gates and receive the large army into Rome! ”

After giving the herald the next order, General Regnio yawned and said to the artillery commander beside him, "If Edgar. Major Ney came back and told him to rest. He should know where I live! ”

"Yes!" The artillery commander hurriedly responded.

General Regnio turned to leave, and before he had gone a few steps suddenly thought of something, and he turned to face the artillery commander again.

"Commander!" The artillery commander was stunned for a moment, and looked at Regnio with puzzled eyes.

"Where's the map?" General Regnio's repetition of the order to the artillery commander.

The artillery commander hurriedly brought the map to General Regnio, and ordered the soldiers next to him to bring kerosene lamps for General Regnio's illumination.

In the light of the kerosene lamp, Reginio would use his rough hand to draw on the map of Rome, and with a frown, he rested his hand on a place marked by a gate and asked, "Can you tell me where this place is?" ”

The artillery commander was stunned for a moment, carefully examined the position that General Regnio was pointing to, and then looked at the city of Rome by the moonlight, which did not seem to have the door that General Regnio pointed to.

"Division...... Commander...... This may be because of the age! The artillery commander cautiously tried to explain: "This map is actually left over from the emperor's time, and the emperor's time is more than thirty years before us, and a slight change should be made!" ”

"Should it? Do you call this the way it should be? General Regnio raised his voice and criticized with a stern expression: "Your sentence should have cost many lives!" ”

The artillery commander lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to refute at all.

Since the emperor's abdication, there has been little change in the French army, and even the basic intelligence work of the army is a mess.

If this continues, the entire French army will face a crisis.

Of course, in General Regnio's mind, this was nothing more than a small crisis for the French army, far from reaching the danger of destroying it.

All it takes is a little bit of a knock on them.

"Let Edgar. Major Ney, Brigadier General Niel...... Full instructions for a trip to my residence later! General Regnio said to the artillery commander that he was going to call all the middle and high-ranking commanders of the expeditionary force this time, and he wanted to put the French army in order to be free and loose.

"Yes!" The artillery commander, who did not dare to anger General Regnio, replied in a low voice.

"Align, here...... Over here...... And here's a hard bang for me! Pointing to the city hall on the map and the surrounding landmarks, Regnio said to the artillery commander, "Give me a blow to beat their arrogance!" ”

After explaining all the circumstances, Regnio slowly descended the mountain under the protection of his soldiers, leaving only the artillery commander who obeyed General Regnio's orders.

June 2, 1849.

After a night of scuffle, the French army finally captured the walls of Rome at the moment before the sun reached the horizon, and Rome was exposed as the possession of France.

The Roman Republic has existed in name only.

Mazzini, the ruler of the Roman Republic, fled from Rome, and only about 5,000 soldiers scattered through the streets of Rome under the leadership of Garibaldi were ready to make it another "Austria" and shed every drop of blood of the French army.

Of course, France would not let them do as they pleased, the artillery on the mountain of Yanicuru and the cannons on the Roman walls had already been aimed at the city of Rome, and the cannons would shoot at the streets of Rome as soon as there was movement.

The soldiers, tired all night, began to rest in turn by order of the "merciful" commanders.

The commander, who had also fought all night, had not had time to repair his work when he was told by the artillery commander to assemble at General Regnio's quarters.

The bewildered commanders could only forget about their exhaustion for a moment and go to General Reño's temporary residence.

More than a dozen military commanders came to the door of an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, through a chic garden, and in the rising sun.

The apartment was originally a wealthy nobleman from Rome, but after the establishment of the Roman Republic, the nobles fled in a hurry, and the apartment became an ownerless property.

After the French army entered the outskirts of Rome, the apartments became French.

"The commander has just fallen asleep, you can wait!" The soldier in charge of guarding the gate said to the commander who was present.

The commander looked at each other and could only stop at the door of the apartment and wait.

After about half an hour, the door to the apartment slowly opened, and General Regnio, dressed in the uniform of the First Empire, appeared in the doorway.

Except for Edgar. Everyone outside of Ney looked surprised.

"Come in!" Regnio waved to the crowd, and Edgar. Ney and the others entered the hall.

The former artwork in the hall has long since disappeared, leaving only a long walnut table with a simple sand table next to a slightly yellowed map.

"Well done, boys!" General Regnio gave a thumbs up to everyone present.

"For the Empire!" Edgar of the Spirit. Ney was the first to respond.

"For the Empire!" The remaining commanders also shouted loudly.

After all, in the army that works up and down, the commander is a Bonapartist, how can they not move closer to the commander.

The next action is crucial, and it's directly related to their wallets.

If that Bonaparte could lead them to the same fortune as the emperor, they certainly wouldn't mind giving up their center to the president.

By the time everyone had come to the map, General Regnio had begun a vigorous carve-up frenzy.

"Brigadier General Neel, your next task is to ......" As the second best in the expeditionary force to General Regnio, Niel gained so much so much so that his peers cast envious glances at him.

"De. Colonel Lassi, your mission is to purge this piece of traitors! Regnio once again circled a piece of territory and handed it to De. Colonel Lassi.

Get second only to Colonel Niel in the area of De. Colonel Lassi was also smiling.

General Regnio arranged the areas for everyone present to clear the "bandits" in turn, and then said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, I wish you all success!" ”

"Long live the President, long live the Empire!" The satisfied officers cheered heartily.

Regnio nodded in satisfaction, the effect of this trip was obviously beyond his expectations.

It seems that the military's resistance to the president is not strong.

After the partition, General Regnio informed every officer present about the map, and the officer's face showed a little shame.

General Regnio, who had finished beating the officer, then admonished: "I don't want to have a situation in the future where the labels in the picture do not match reality!" Now I'm going to give you the task of marking every street in your area of responsibility on a map and summarizing it! ”

"Yes!" The officers said in unison.

"Let's go get some rest! By the way, Brigadier General Niel stays! Regnio said kindly to all the commanders.

The command staff was ordered to leave, and Brigadier Neel was briefly confused for a few seconds, and then stood straight and obeyed General Regnio's orders.

"Niel, you sit!" General Reinio, who was sitting next to the map, warmly invited Niel to sit down.

"Yes!" Neiel sat next to General Regnio.

"Look, here...... Here, and here! General Regnio pointed out several buildings to Niel and said: "I didn't see them at all when I was looking at Rome from the heights of Janikuru! ”

Brigadier General Niel instantly understood what General Regnio meant: "General, do you want me to re-proofread the map of the outskirts of Rome?" ”

"That's right!" Regnio nodded and said to Niel, "You are the Paris School of Engineering, and I will ask them (the officers) to put together the streets and buildings in their area and give them to you." It's up to you and your men to recreate a map, we can't fight here with a map from decades ago, it's going to be a mess! ”

"Yes!" Brigadier General Niel immediately took over the task of Major General Reinho, and when he was at the Paris School of Engineering, he was a surveyor, and if it were not for some unexpected circumstances, he might have become a national engineer in the road and bridge army.

"Then it's tiring and troublesome!" General Regnio said to Brigadier General Niel.

After Brigadier Niel left, Regnio continued to stare at the map, and a ridiculous thought welled up in Regnio's mind.

Perhaps I should suggest to His Majesty that all the maps be remade.

General Regnio did not know that he stayed on to think about the content in Jérôme. Bonaparte was already proceeding in an orderly manner.

As the clock ticked to 6 p.m., the flaming disc was slowly falling, and the French army, which had been repaired for a day, was revived, and they were ready to penetrate into the Roman neighborhood to completely destroy Garibaldi's troops.

On the other hand, General Regnio's apartment also welcomed an "uninvited guest".

A middle-aged man who thought about the face of the Chinese character and the natural volume came to General Regino's villa in a black tight-fitting regular uniform and trousers, and said to General Reño with a pious expression, "God bless! General, you have defeated the thugs! Protected God! ”

"Bishop Antonelli! I'm just obeying the orders of Your Excellency, President! General Regnio said to Cardinal Antonelli, the "big red man" next to Pius IX, in front of him.

Antonelli, who was only 42 years old, gradually showed a kind smile and nodded: "Of course! Of course! Mr. President is such a devout man, I heard that he came to Rome a year ago! ”

Immediately, he showed a regretful expression: "But I was still visiting Naples at that time, and I didn't have the opportunity to visit Mr. President!" ”

General Regnio did not speak, and quietly waited for Antonelli's performance.

"General Regnio, when will His Majesty the Pope be able to enter Rome?"
