(55, Xiaoyu has an exam tomorrow, "E-Commerce System Planning and Design", so there is only one chapter today, I am really sorry! Also, can everyone give Xiaoyu a few monthly tickets? Thank you all.)
"Andresi, is it worth falling out with Marmont at this time?" Joseph asked worriedly, his eyes full of worry. He also knew about Xiao Jie's ban, and he also knew the reason why Ma Ermeng came to Xiao Jie today, but he didn't expect Xiao Jie to directly reject him without giving him any face. You must know that the situation of the French army is still very bad. Although they defeated Arthur Wellesley's troops, they still cannot fundamentally change the situation.
"Don't worry, father, I know it well." Xiao Jie comforted.
Seeing Xiao Jie's insistence, Joseph had no choice but to acquiesce. But then he said: "Now that you and Marmont are in such a mess, aren't you afraid that he will change in the future war? That will be very bad for us."
"He has no chance." Xiao Jie said coldly.
Joseph was startled, he was afraid that Xiao Jie would treat Marmont like he treated Murat, but Marmont didn't make a big mistake? Is it too far-fetched to insist on dealing with him? Seeing Joseph's expression, Xiao Jie knew that he was wrong, so he explained: "Don't worry, father, I won't mess around. I just want to transfer the 2nd Legion back to France. Most of them are now casualties. Morale is also extremely low, and staying here won't help much."
"Return the 2nd Army? We are at a disadvantage now. Anyway, there are still 20,000 people left in the 2nd Army. If we transfer them away, won't the gap between us and the enemy be widened?" Joseph asked very surprised.
"Yes, we are temporarily at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but this does not mean that we are also at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In Spain now, the only thing we have to worry about is the 40,000 reinforcements from the British army. As for Castagno I haven't taken them seriously yet." Xiao Jie said confidently.
In this case, Joseph had no choice but to agree to Xiao Jie's arrangement.
Next, Xiao Jie transferred the 2nd Army back to rest in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Spanish theater. Marmont also knew what Xiao Jie meant, although he was extremely unwilling, but how could a senior officer overwhelm someone, not to mention Xiao Jie's current status is extremely noble, so he had no choice but to bring his remnant soldiers with him in despair They left Spain and withdrew to France. Of course, what awaited him after returning home would definitely not be the triumphant welcome, but Napoleon's anger. This also made Marmont hate Xiao Jie to death, and in the following time, he stood on the opposite side of Xiao Jie.
On December 16, Xiao Jie received the battle report. The 2nd Division of the 88th Army led by General Dougal, the deputy commander of the 88th Army, and the 1st Division of the 4th Army of Marshal Lune fought at Castellón on the 11th. Defeated the 30,000 army led by the Spanish rebel general Braque, and wiped out more than 20,000 enemies. After that, he quickly went south to encircle and wipe out the remnants of Braque in Valencia. In the end, Braque's army was defeated again, and Braque was also killed by stray bullets in the command battle. French troops occupy Valencia.
According to the original plan, it was Dougal who attacked Madrid when Castagnos led the main force of the rebel army to attack Zaragoza, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to occupy Madrid and cut off Castagnos's power in one fell swoop. Retreat, cooperate with Xiao Jie, and together solve Castagnos, the largest disorderly army in Spain. But I didn't expect that after Xiao Jie defeated Arthur Wellesley, Arthur Wellesley would retreat to Madrid, which seriously disrupted Xiao Jie's deployment. Du Geer didn't know what to do next, so he quickly sought Xiao Jie's instructions.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Jie issued an order to Dougal, ordering Dougal to lead the 2nd Division to continue to attack westward and approach Madrid, but the main purpose was to drag out Castagnos so that he could not fight with Arthur. • Wellesley fit. And Xiao Jie took advantage of this opportunity to kill Arthur Wellesley first, and then attacked Madrid, and fought with Castagnos together with Dougal for the final decisive battle.
On the same day, Xiao Jie received information that Arthur Wellesley's reinforcements had all landed and occupied Victoria to the south, but stopped after occupying Victoria, presumably waiting for Arthur Wellesley. In this way, Xiao Jie had no choice but to send the cavalry corps north to Tudela to monitor the next move of the British army.
Because the British army came from a long distance across the sea, there was a serious shortage of horses and so on. The cavalry regiment could take advantage of this advantage to deal with the British army. Although there are more than 14,000 cavalry corps left after several months of fighting, they are still very calm in the face of 40,000 British troops, especially the British army that is dominated by infantry.
The news came mainly that after he dealt with Murat, Caroline (Napoleon's sister, Murat's wife, and Xiao Jie's aunt) who was far away in Paris got the news from somewhere, and ran to get it. There was a riot in front of Polon, but he was scolded by Napoleon. What Sikes meant was to remind Xiao Jie not to act too violently, as this would violate the interests of many people and become a target of public criticism.
Seeing this secret report, Xiao Jie just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. After entering Spain, he was appointed by Napoleon to handle all affairs in Spain, and Murat actually disobeyed the military order. I believe Napoleon will not do anything to him because of this incident. A few words of blame at most. In fact, I was definitely laughing in my heart, because Murat once claimed everywhere that he had an affair with Josephine. Although this was true, Napoleon was still very angry about this, and wanted to deal with Murat because he was his capable subordinate. , and his brother-in-law again, so he endured it. Now that Xiao Jie has dealt with Murat, Napoleon wants to blame Xiao Jie, but he doesn't know how happy he is.
Xiao Jie wrote back to Sikes, telling him not to worry, this is just a small trouble, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it. Then he asked Sikes to take good control of the Ministry of Homeland Security and make sure to control this intelligence organization in his own hands. Finally, after the withdrawal of the 2nd Army Corps, Xiao Jie's troops became very tense. Although they are still barely enough in the midst of the war, as time goes by, the occupied areas will inevitably increase greatly. Therefore, Xiao Jie plans to transfer a group of mid-level and lower-level officers back to France to form the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the 88th Army. These newly formed troops do not need to be trained for long, as long as they go through basic training After that, it will drive into Spain to continue the unfinished training, and it can also be used as a garrison. Of course, in order to properly promote his former brothers, Xiao Jie sent Thomas, Karl and Kurt back this time to assume the main leadership positions of the new army.
Reverse the time and go back to Paris on December 13. After Murat was relieved of his duties by Xiao Jie and imprisoned, Murat's confidants quickly sent the news back to Paris, and Caroline, after learning the news, He was also shocked, and immediately rushed to the Tuileries Palace, hoping that Napoleon would punish Xiao Jie and release Murat.
At that time, Napoleon was discussing the war situation in Spain with his ministers. When the meeting was in progress, Napoleon's bodyguard Barlot walked in and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you. Princess of France, Queen of Naples Her Royal Highness Rowling has urgent matters to see."
"Let her wait until I have time to talk about it. Didn't you see that I'm busy now?" Napoleon scolded. Of course he knew what Caroline was here for. As early as last night, the news that Murat was detained by Xiao Jie was placed on his desk. He couldn't help admiring Xiao Jie's boldness for daring to attack an old courtier like Murat, but at the same time he was also happy. He had always wanted to touch Murat, but he didn't find the opportunity. Now Xiao Jie can be said to have reported to him. Revenge of being cuckolded.
"But she said that she must see you immediately, otherwise she will barge in." Balote said with some embarrassment.
After looking at the ministers, Napoleon said with some displeasure: "Well, let her in. Gentlemen, let's end today's meeting here and continue tomorrow."
All the ministers knew that Napoleon had to deal with family affairs, so they had to resign one after another.
As soon as the ministers walked out, Caroline rushed in, crying and said, "Brother, please save Murat quickly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Andresi is too much, dare to release Miura privately." Lara's position, and locked him up."
"Okay, don't cry, what do you look like? How can you have the etiquette of a royal princess." Napoleon roared.
Seeing Napoleon like this, Caroline quickly shut up, and looked at Napoleon aggrieved.
Glancing at her, Napoleon said: "Okay, you know, when Andresi went to Spain early, I appointed him to handle all affairs in Spain, so he didn't dismiss Murat privately." In addition, the reason why Murat was imprisoned was because he disobeyed the military order, and logically he would be shot, and Andresi had already calculated that he should be imprisoned."
Seeing that Napoleon was so tough, Caroline was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, she knew what was going on. She was also very clear about what happened to her husband and sister-in-law before. But at this time, I can't control so much, so I have to continue to plead with Napoleon. Anyway, Caroline was his sister, so Napoleon had no choice but to agree to let Xiao Jie send Murat back to Paris first, and then make plans. Of course, it is basically impossible to restore the official post.
