In this battle alone, McMahon basically wiped out most of the military forces in the western part of the Kingdom of Morocco.

A cavalry force of less than 600 men under McMahon's orders then galloped and soon captured Taza and Fez, with a population of nearly 10,000.

Today's French army has less than 200 kilometers left to Rabat, which can be said to be too close.

After reading the battle report, the adjutant said to Niel excitedly, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we should report this good news to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes! I think so too! Chief of the General Staff Niel nodded, and he prepared to go to the Douilleri Palace at once to report the news to the Emperor.

Just then, the door to the operations conference room opened.

Niel and his lieutenant looked intently at the fact that it was not Jérôme who had entered the combat room. Emperor Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff of Niel and his adjutant hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, bowing.

"Niel, I hear that a telegram from Algeria has been sent! This is not true! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked impatiently.

"That's right! Your Majesty! Niel walked to Jérôme. Bonaparte handed him the telegram in front of him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte took the telegram, read it carefully, then looked up and said to Niel, "Is there a map?" ”

"Yes!" Niel hurriedly responded, and then led Jérôme. Bonaparte came to the map: "Your Majesty, this is the map of the Kingdom of Morocco!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte compared the names of places in the telegram with his hand on the map.

"McMahon is so fast!" Jérôme. With a surprised expression on his face, Bonaparte tapped his hand a few times, "At this rate, we could end the battle by the end of this month!" ”

"Your Majesty, the follow-up battle may be a little troublesome!" Niel expects the enemy to be lenient against Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Why is that?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Nière: "Now the whole kingdom of Morocco should be left with only 10,000 troops near Rabat, and more than 5,000 in the north!"

And we only need to face 10,000 people near Rabat, and 5,000 people in the north will be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain! ”

"Your Majesty! Even if we defeat the regular forces of the Moroccan Kingdom, after the regular forces are defeated, we will still have to face countless guerrilla forces on Moroccan soil!

Just like when we were in Algeria!

Although these guerrilla units are far inferior to the regular army in terms of equipment, they are definitely more difficult than the regular troops!

We are still a long way from completely pacifying Morocco! ”

"You're right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and said, "The defeat of the Kingdom of Morocco is only our first step, and each of the next steps is much more important than the first step!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Nière what he thought of the future political system of the Kingdom of Morocco and whether Abdou should be deposed. Rahman completely annexed the Kingdom of Morocco, or should he declare the Kingdom of Morocco a protectorate of the French Empire.

Nière reminded Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he, the chief of the general staff, was only responsible for fighting wars, and that His Majesty the Emperor should consult with the Minister of State and the Minister of War on such political matters!

"Forget it! I won't give you a problem! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Niel, who was pleased with the attitude he had just had.

The chief of the General Staff should play the main role in defeating the enemy, and it is better not to dabble in matters related to politics.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Niel to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

"But I'll take this telegram!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook the telegram to Niel.

"Yes!" Neielle replied briefly.

Find Jérôme in the General Staff. Bonaparte told Nière that he was going back.

Niel and his lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to deliver the emperor to the gate of the General Staff.

"I don't have to see him off!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his hand and refused the farewell of Niel and the others, and then continued: "By the way, your General Staff wants to reward McMahon!"

It was because of his decisiveness that our army was able to reach Fez so quickly! ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! The General Staff will definitely commend them after verifying their combat exploits! Nielle's expression was resolute in Jerome. Bonaparte replied.

"Yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned around and left the General Staff in a carriage with the farewell of Nière and his adjutant.

Wait until Jérôme. When Bonaparte returned to the Palazzo Douinlery, he quickly sought out Lucien. Murat.

"Lucien, tomorrow's news will put this on the front page!" Jérôme. Bonaparte handed it to Lucien. Murat a telegram.

Lucien. When Murat saw the telegram, her face also showed a look of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Jérôme. Bonaparte came back this time and brought back such heavyweight news.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I assure you, you'll see it on the front page of tomorrow's newspapers! "Lucien. Murat nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly thought of something and he hurried to Lucien. Murat said: "McMahon's use of the Chasebo machine gun and the Mauser rear-loading gun, these two things, it is better not to appear in the report!"

We've got to keep our army a little mysterious! ”

"Understood!" Lucien. Murat said.

"That's it! That's all! You can leave first! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand at Lucien. Murat said.

Lucien. After Murat's departure, Jérôme. Bonaparte restarted his work.

At 10 p.m. that day, I returned from the study to the bedroom in Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered the "preeminent" history of MacMahon again, and he hurriedly asked Augusta beside him: "Augusta, can you add another person to your wife's circle?" ”

"Say it! Your Majesty, who do you want to stuff into me! "Empress Augusta was angry with Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"The daughter of the Duke of Castris, Elizabeth Yin. Delacroix! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Empress Augusta.

Empress Augusta pondered for a moment and said to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "I remember that the Duke of Castries and his family all served that fellow from Chambor, how could you think of wooing them!" ”

"Yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed lightly and said to Queen Augusta: "Who let their family have a son-in-law who can fight!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte told Augusta about MacMahon's feat in the Kingdom of Morocco.

After listening to this, Empress Augusta also clicked... Nodding his head, he said, "Yes!" It really should be wooed!

So be it! I'll try to get Elizabeth Yoon. Delacroix leans towards us! ”

"You're really my helper!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said as he tried to undress Empress Gusta.

Empress Augusta brushed Jérôme away with her hand. Bonaparte's hand said, "I have to go out tomorrow, but I don't have to do it tonight!" ”

"Alright then!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders in response to Empress Augusta, and then extinguished the kerosene lamp placed at the head of the bed.

The room was plunged into a deep darkness, and it wasn't long before a slight snoring sound came from the room.

……

6 a.m. the next morning.

At the dawn of the day, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta had already gotten up.

Today, the two of them not only have to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "Workers' Home", but also go to the charity hospital to visit the injured link, and finally have to carry out a fundraising activity.

It can be said that it is extremely busy.

[PS: The Workers' House is founded by Jérôme. Bonaparte solicited the design ideas of all the Parisian workers and then ordered his designers to build semi-welfare rental houses.

Exclusively rented to workers, workers who live in workers' homes only need to pay a small fee per year, and that's it! 】

At 8 a.m., Jerome dressed in a military uniform. Bonaparte and Augusta, dressed in a long white dress, walked out of the Palazzo Douinleries.

At this moment, on both sides of the steps outside the palace is a group of Imperial Guards with their heads held high, and they will be the escorts for this trip.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Augusta entered the carriage, the Imperial Guards standing on the steps also began to move, and they mounted their horses to escort the troops in Jérôme. Around the Bonaparte frame.

The carriage moved slowly along the way, and the Parisians along the way saw Jérôme. When Bonaparte travels, he can't help but stop and watch!

Jérôme. Bonaparte's carriage slowly headed for the "House of the Workers" in the southwest.

Right here in Jérôme. When Bonaparte and Augusta were riding in a horse-drawn carriage to the "House of the Workers", three Pierremonts and a Roman were communicating with each other in Italian in a group of dilapidated buildings in the Saint-Denis district.

One of the Piedmontese asked the Romans: "Orsines, what do we do, I can't wait to take off the head of the tyrant!"

Let the republic come back to this kingdom! ”

The man known as Orsini pondered for a moment, then said to the Piedmontese beside him: "I think we should wait!" ”

"Wait? When are we going to wait! The Piedmontese native was visibly unconvinced, and said, "If we wait, we may not see the unification of Italy!"

Orsini, if you don't have the courage to die with the tyrant, then we will be in defeat forever! ”

"Only when the time is ripe can this tyrant be sent away!

Otherwise, we're just wasting our power! Orsini tried to explain to the Piedmontese.

"However, standing in place is also a waste of power!" Seeing that Orsini was showing signs of "retreating", another Piedmontese also retorted, "We must start acting as soon as possible!"

If you're not willing to assassinate, quit now! ”
