Chapter 50: Commander Napoleon
"Napoleon has arrived!"
As soon as Zhu Daohua set foot on the land of North America, he received the news!
This was urgently sent by intelligence via telegram.
"It's happening in the New York newspapers right now. The Americans hailed Napoleon as the "protector of Christian civilization." ”
It was Gu Song, who was already retired, who was talking.
Next to Gu Song, Luo Fangbo, who was already sixty years old, was also nodding.
Several retired ministers are now accompanying Emperor Zhu to North America.
After this war.
Emperor Zhu is also planning to retire.
He planned to be the emperor for a period of time, ensuring the stability of the second generation of succession, but also ensuring that the Mingli order he established could operate smoothly.
Such.
He can even be considered to have made it and retired.
Napoleon.
They're all strangers.
After all, he is still the Duke of Jiaguo of the Ming Dynasty.
But.
Now everyone's ass is different.
I don't bother to mention this old feeling.
However, Emperor Zhu still had to show that he missed the old feelings.
After all.
Among the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of the Ming Empire.
Napoleon of Jiaguogong.
That is ranked fourth after Zhao Si, Gu Song, and Luo Fangbo.
And Zhao Si can get this first.
Actually, it's also lucky.
It was a good time to die.
Posthumously sealed.
The knighthood is one rank higher.
The official position was also raised by one level.
made Zhao Si take a big advantage in the selection of twenty-four heroes - the highest knighthood and the highest official position.
Doesn't it just have to be ranked first?
And others won't fight with a dead old Zhao.
As a result, this ranking was determined - and it also led to a lot of controversy in later generations.
"Napoleon is still a hero of my Ming Dynasty, and if he wants to in the future, the Zhongdu Jiaguo Mansion will still have his place."
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.
Frankly.
Against a commander like Napoleon.
Emperor Zhu was still a little nervous.
But I have been the Emperor of Liberation for so many years.
Joy and anger are invisible, and this skill is still perfect.
Not to mention.
He knows it now, too.
This war.
The role of the commander-in-chief is honestly not too big.
This kind of war of millions of armies against each other.
Ultimately.
It is still science and technology and national strength that fight.
Napoleon was not a god either.
He might be able to win a few battles.
But.
I want to win this war.
Napoleon's commanding ability alone.
It's not enough!!
"Where is King Qin's headquarters now!"
Zhu Daohua asked.
Soon.
A staff officer pointed out Zhu Yixin's headquarters on the map.
"Where is the place of the fighting?"
Luo Fangbo asked.
With a few old ministers, you say a word to me.
Instead, the forces of the two warring sides were quickly deployed on the map.
"It seems. Both sides are going to be in the Missouri Plains. ”
"Fighting on the Great Plains, there is no shelter, and there is no natural danger to cover."
"It's a hard hit!"
"It's hard to be tough. There's always a big fight! ”
Just when Emperor Zhu and his old ministers were looking at the situation on the battlefield.
Napoleon was also watching the battle at the front.
As the commander-in-chief of the great army.
He is not like Zhu Daohua, he is really just "sitting in charge", and does not interfere in the specific combat plan, but completely delegates power to the staff officers below and the generals on the front line.
Napoleon the commander-in-chief.
But you really want to command the battle!
"At least a million armies have been assembled on both sides on the Missouri Plains! This should be the place where the decisive battle will be! ”
"The Ming army took the initiative to cross the Missouri River, and the cavalry on both sides has begun to fight!"
"Take the initiative to cross the river?"
Napoleon stared at the small flag on the sand table, which symbolized the deployment of troops on both sides.
The red one represents the Ming army, and the blue one represents the American army.
"Let the front line send scouts to reconnoiter along Missouri and from north to south!!"
Napoleon's hand crossed the Missouri River.
The American commander in the room, James Murphy. Madison and U.S. Army General Andrew Brown. Jackson's expression changed.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, are you worried that a large army of the Ming army will cross the river?"
"Not worrying! Rather, it is quite possible that the river has already been crossed! ”
Napoleon said with a deep breath.
"I know this army very well."
"They are very proactive!"
"But. . . Isn't it in our favor that they crossed the river with a large force on their own initiative? ”
"Theoretically, it is!" Napoleon said.
"But. The founder of this army, the great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is not a person who can be speculated by common sense! Since they dare to cross the river on their own initiative, they must have something to rely on! ”
"So... We have to be very cautious! Napoleon said, "I suggest that a few more cavalry divisions go up and launch a thunderous offensive to beat out the Ming army!" ”
"Then let the second, third, and sixth cavalry divisions press up!"
"Not enough! Not enough! ”
Napoleon shook his head repeatedly.
He pointed to the back of the small flag.
"Let these divisions also press up!"
"It seems that only one cavalry division of this Chinese has crossed the river at present."
"Don't take chances, this is a decisive battle! Put all the chips we can on. Napoleon said, "We must know what secrets the Ming army has that can make them so fearless!" ”
August 29, 1810.
United States of America.
A small town more than 200 kilometers west of St. Paul, Minnesota.
The town was a trading post for white Americans and local Indians.
In the local Aboriginal language, this place is called "Morwich Town"
Now, however, both Indian and white civilians have been evacuated.
What is now left for the Ming army is a small empty city.
Relying on this small city.
The 3rd Infantry Division of the First Army formed an advance position.
The purpose of building positions here.
It was to cover the six pontoon bridges built by Ming army sappers over the Missouri River.
The commander of the Third Division, Zeng Yuping, a native of Hunan, is 41 years old this year.
When he was eighteen years old, he was selected as a talent in the former Qing Dynasty.
But I'm just ready to show my skills in the science field.
This world has changed.
In the end, he chose to go to Guangzhou to study at a military academy.
Then he was sent to North America very early as an officer stationed in North America, and he also settled here in North America.
The eldest son, Zeng Linshu, is now also studying at Golden State University.
in North America these years.
Almost every year, Zeng Yuping commanded his subordinates to engage in skirmishes with Indians and whites.
The Third Division under his command.
It's basically after immigration.
The will to fight is very.
It is precisely because he is a strong soldier that he got this task of holding onto the town of Morich! (End of chapter)
