I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【so】

【Only by completely driving the country on which the sun never sets from the European market can Napoleon truly build his European empire.】

【But can he really do it?】

【cannot!】

【Because no amount of military victory can defeat the laws of economics】

【first】

【The country on which the sun never sets firmly held the neck of the Gallic chicken country based on its advanced industry.】

【Let’s take cotton textiles as an example. Due to the country’s restrictions on the export of spinning machines, the production capacity of the Gallic Chicken Country only increased by 4% from 1803 to 1812.】

【Compared with the huge market left by the country where the sun never sets, this production capacity is completely a drop in the bucket. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces!-"

"First generation technology blockade"

"……"

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:

"Confucian people say that all things are inferior, but reading is the only way to achieve excellence."

"Now it seems like this is not the case"

"Craftsmen are also of great use. Zhu

Biao nodded and agreed:

"What dad said is absolutely true"

"For example, the craftsman who invented the spinning machine for the country where the sun never sets has made great contributions to the country."

After a pause,

Zhu Biao then said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Dad, our Ming Dynasty should give more benefits to the craftsmen and encourage them to develop more useful tools for the Ming Dynasty."

Not only craftsmen, but after watching so many videos, Zhu Biao felt that the so-called ranking of the four people as"scholars, farmers, industry and merchants" was not appropriate.

Craftsmen and businessmen are both of great use to the country and cannot be regarded as lowly people.

Otherwise, I'm afraid not many people are willing to engage in these two industries.

Especially craftsmen.

Because although businessmen are lower in the ranking, they make more money.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and agreed.

……

【Market demand cannot be contained by administrative means.】

【A strict mainland blockade will eventually lead to rampant smuggling trade】

【In order to combat smuggling, the Gallic Chicken Country can only continue to interfere in the internal affairs of its allies and neighboring countries.】

【Sometimes inducements are used, sometimes threats are used, and sometimes force is used. The final result is the disunity of European countries.】

【Secondly】

【The global trade monopoly of countries where the sun never sets is largely irreplaceable】

【Europe can only rely on imports of these three important raw materials: sugar, cotton and tea.】

【Napoleon knew this, so he issued licenses for some key ingredients】

【However, these charters were often only available to Gallic merchants.】

【This further undermined the foundation of trust between the Gallic Kingdom and its new allies.】

……

"Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality."

Many ancients in the past dynasties saw this, and this sentence flashed in their minds.

Many ancients felt that Napoleon's different treatment at this time was unwise.

……

【at last】

【The most important reason is that the development of capitalism in Europe is uneven.】

【Napoleon's base is Gaul, Italy, the Low Countries and the Confederation of the Rhine】

【The industrial base of these countries is relatively good, so the continental blockade means that the Gallic chicken country eats meat, and they can also drink soup along with it.】

【Therefore, they were willing to support Napoleon within a limited scope】

【But this is not the case at all for those countries with backward industrial bases. The most representative ones are Portugal and Panya in the Iberian Peninsula.】

【These two old colonial empires reaped the first wave of dividends from the Age of Discovery, but they did not develop complete local industries. Instead, they fell into the world trade system dominated by the country on which the sun never sets.】

【Before the mainland blockade, the two countries jointly undertook 19% of the country's exports.】

【After the mainland blockade, this number soared sharply, and a large amount of Sun Never Sets products were smuggled from the two countries to various parts of Europe.】

【This is something Napoleon would never tolerate】

【The Sun Never Sets countrymen are good at using gold coins, and he is good at using cannons】

……

Napoleon's choice was considered reasonable by many ancient people throughout the ages.

Now that the mainland blockade policy has been decided, the rules cannot be broken.

If Napoleon did not send troops to combat smuggling, his continental blockade policy would surely face more challenges.

……

【On October 27, 1807, the Gallic Kingdom and the Gallic Kingdom signed the"Treaty of Fontainebleau" and jointly sent troops to Portugal.】

【This troop dispatch went extremely smoothly.】

【At the end of November, the French army successfully captured Lisbon, and the Portuguese royal family hurriedly fled to Samba.】

【But Napoleon was not prepared to stop there. This time he sent troops to Portugal to attack Guo.】

【In March 1808, Murat led an army of 100,000 troops into Madrid and"invited" the Bourbon royal family, which ruled the country, to the Gaul Kingdom to discuss the future.】

【And this future is when the Bourbon family abdicates the throne to Napoleon, and from then on the Banya Kingdom accepts the rule of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom.】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin shook his head slightly.

He felt that Napoleon's move was completely unnecessary.

After the purpose of demonstrating force and combating smuggling is achieved, it is time to withdraw the troops.

This strategy of falsely attacking Guo cannot be used casually.

While the Banya Kingdom had done nothing untoward and was obeying the orders of the Gaul Chicken Kingdom, they rashly sent troops to capture the country without any reason.

It's unwise.

There was no real benefit other than giving Napoleon another title.

He believed that it was purely due to Napoleon's personal ambition.

If the world is at peace, it won't hurt.

But in the current situation where the Gallic Chicken Country and the Sun Never Sets Country are competing for hegemony, it may bring serious consequences.

According to the words of the teacher who was the founding leader of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations, it should be"the one who makes many friends and the few enemies." You guessed it right

……

【In Napoleon's view, his arrival would bring legal construction and religious tolerance to the country, enhance the status of citizens and abolish the privileges of the nobility.】

【The Banya Kingdom will definitely follow the example of Italy and the Low Countries, eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's army.】

【But he was totally wrong】

【The bourgeoisie in Banya Country is still very weak and he cannot impose an unnecessary revolution on it.】

【What's more, due to being tied to the chariot of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom all year round, the Banya Kingdom suffers huge losses every year.】

【The continental blockade policy caused widespread depression, and the Battle of Trafalgar destroyed the country's proud fleet.】

【In this way, the Gallic Chicken Country will collect another 60 million francs in protection fees every year.】

【The Chinese people are indeed tired of the traitorous Bourbon government, but they will never welcome Napoleon himself.】

……

See here.

Li Shimin was more confirmed.

Napoleon made a mistake in dealing with the problem of the country

……

【On May 2, 1808, Madrid fired the first shot against the rule of the Gallic Kingdom. Immediately afterwards, a wave of uprisings swept across the country.】

【This is a war that the French army has never fought before. What they are entering is no longer a battlefield full of courage and glory, but an extremely bloody national war.】

【Farmers would burn their wheat fields so that the French army could not find supplies.】

【But what is even more frightening are the guerrillas hiding in the dark. They constantly attack lone French troops. Once they fall into their hands, what awaits the invaders is extremely cruel killings.】

【During the entire Peninsular War, more French soldiers died at the hands of guerrillas than the regular armies of Britain, Portugal and Spain combined.】

……

The plane of the Great Ming Dynasty's ancestors.

Zhu Gaochi sighed:

"If benevolence and righteousness are not applied, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different."

Zhu Di on the side also shook his head.

He felt that what Napoleon did was completely inexplicable.

He did not concentrate on dealing with the country where the sun never sets, but wasted his strength on the country.

It was simply unwise.

……

【What's even more fatal is that this war completely destroyed the French army's revolutionary faith】

【In previous wars, no matter what difficulties they encountered, French soldiers firmly believed that they were fighting an unjust feudal order.】

【However, when they see all the hostility they encountered in Banya Country and all the crimes they committed, as long as they still have the most basic human conscience, they will not think that this is a just war.】

【The fighting power of the French army comes from faith. When this faith collapses, they will be no different from the old army they are hostile to.】

……

Saw this discussion.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties thought of the invincible army of the Dragon Kingdom with firm beliefs in later generations.

They can also partially understand the relationship between faith and military combat effectiveness.

……

【In the next six years, Napoleon invested a total of 500,000 troops in the Peninsular War and lost half of them.】

【This is an extremely astonishing number,】

【""The Abscess of the Banya Country" shows the weaknesses of the Gallic Chicken Country to European countries.] (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【Now they're fighting back】

【While the French army was stuck in the quagmire of the country, Austria was mobilizing its army.】

【The people from the Sun Never Set country gave them a huge sum of money, and Austria was also determined to regain the territory that was ceded by the Gallic Chicken Country.】

【After the Battle of Austerlitz, Archduke Karl followed the French army in carrying out reforms, including adjusting the command structure, simplifying movement operations, introducing column formations, modifying skirmishing tactics, and most importantly: joining the corps-level command system.】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin smiled and said:

"Copying them all is a solution"

"I just don’t know what the effect will be?"

Obviously.

Austria is preparing to go to war with the Gallic Chicken Country.

He was quite curious. After Austria copied the French army's tactics, could it be better than the old?

The generals of the Tang Dynasty behind Li Shimin were also curious about this question.

They They all looked attentively at the giant screen in the sky

……[]

【In April 1809, Austria mobilized 34 people and formally declared war on France.】

【Seven days later at the Battle of Ekmeer, Napoleon led his army to annihilate 12,000 Austrian troops.】

【However, the main force of the Austrian army led by Archduke Karl successfully escaped and retreated all the way to the east of the Danube River】

【Napoleon led his army eastward to seek a decisive victory】

【As a result, during the process of crossing the river, they were attacked by Archduke Karl who was halfway across the river. The French army suffered 20,000 casualties and 3,000 prisoners.】

【The Battle of Aspern Eisling was Napoleon's only defeat in the previous ten years of his military career.】

……

"Lost?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were stunned for a moment.

From the previous videos, they saw Napoleon's victories again and again.

They didn't expect to see Napoleon's defeat suddenly here.

It surprised them.

……

【In July 1809, the Battle of Wagram officially started】

【After two days of bloody fighting, the French army defeated the Austrian army.】

【After the defeat at the Battle of Wagram, Austria again ceded territory to seek peace.】

【The following year, Napoleon married an Austrian princess, which was when the Franco-Australian alliance was concluded, and Austria cut off its ties with the country on which the sun never sets.】

【This means that Napoleon's continental blockade system has officially reached its zenith】

【At the same time, it has also completely come to an end.】

……

"Won again?"

"He is worthy of being a famous general."

Many ancients from all dynasties praised.

The Ming Dynasty became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji said with emotion:

"This person is really good at leading troops in battle."

"It's a pity that it's too inflated. Zhu

Gaochi said.

After hearing this, Zhu Di said:

"What the boss said is good."

If this man named Napoleon could control his ambitions and properly handle relations with other countries on the European continent, with his super military capabilities, he might not be able to have the last laugh.

But Napoleon's inexplicable occupation of the country has made Zhu Di was not optimistic about Napoleon's future outcome.

……

【In June 1809, Pope Pius VII took the lead in violating the continental blockade policy.】

【Napoleon sent troops to the Vatican, annexed the Papal States, and successfully received a decree of execution】

【Although Napoleon scorned this, believers across Europe must reconsider their allegiance to the excommunicated emperor.】

【The rebellion of the Papal States is just the appetizer】

【Next, the low-lying countries also began to take a clear-cut stand against the mainland blockade.】

【One of the representatives is Louis Bonaparte, the king of the Tulip Kingdom and Napoleon's brother.】

【Napoleon was furious. He deposed Louis' throne and annexed all the coastal areas of northern Europe into the Gallic Kingdom. This included the Russian protectorate of Oldenburg and the Pomerania of Riton.】

【This offended two powerful countries at the same time】

【The King of Sweden at this time was none other than Bernadotte, who had served under Napoleon. Although their relationship had never been good, the conflict of national interests was the key to their breakup.】

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Biao said in astonishment:

"Isn't this person about to betray his relatives?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said:

"When this person decided to launch the mainland blockade policy, this outcome was already doomed."

"Although blockading the mainland can attack the country on which the sun never sets, it will also harm the interests of allies such as the Gallic Chicken Country."

"This is destined to be unsustainable"

"This person thought that until the sun never sets, the country would be unable to withstand it first, but he did not expect that his allies would be unable to withstand it first."

"What Dad said is that the country's national power is too strong, and Napoleon underestimated it too much. Zhu

Biao replied.

After a pause, Zhu Biao spoke again:

"In fact, instead of doing this, I think it would be better for Napoleon not to implement the continental blockade policy, but instead to fully develop the Gallic navy and strive to defeat the navy of the Kingdom on which the sun never sets."

"After that, attack the homeland of the country where the sun never sets, once and for all. Zhu

Yuanzhang shook his head and said:

"A powerful naval force cannot be built overnight."

"What's more, the country where the sun never sets will not give the Gallic chicken country this time. Zhu

Biao thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

……

【Napoleon never paid attention to the Swedish threat】

【But the threat from Russia cannot be ignored by him】

【The conflict between France and Russia is very complicated, including a series of issues such as Aldeburg and the restoration of Poland.】

【But these issues can all be discussed. The only issue that cannot be discussed is the mainland blockade.】

【Like the two countries, Russia also relies heavily on trade with countries where the sun never sets.】

【It not only imports industrial products from countries where the sun never sets, but also exports raw materials such as wheat, wood, and fur to countries where the sun never sets.】

【Since the Treaty of Tilsit, Russia has been suffering from high fiscal deficits】

【In 1808, there was a loss of 126 million rubles, in 1809, there was a loss of 157 million rubles, and in 1810, there was a loss of 77 million rubles. The reason why the deficit dropped in this year was because Tsar Alexander I could not withstand the pressure and announced the opening of trade to neutral countries.】

【Countless merchant ships from the Sun Never Set, flying neutral flags, sailed into the ports of Tsarist Russia】

【The following year, an economic crisis of unprecedented scale broke out in the Gallic Kingdom.】

【A large number of factories closed down, banks went bankrupt, workers were unemployed, and food shortages occurred. This economic crisis lasted for three years and remained unresolved until Napoleon abdicated.】

【So you can understand why Napoleon insisted on his continental blockade policy even though he was an enemy of all Europe, because as soon as he stopped, his empire would fall apart.】

【But if he doesn't stop, he will have to declare war on Russia】

【Fate finally led him to the icy abyss. Nine】.
