Of course, we should start from the beginning. In the early nineteenth century, Napoleon had conquered almost every country in Europe. From this, it is not difficult to see that Napoleon was extremely accomplished in military strategy. Of course, this kind of military strategy

The higher the attainments, it indirectly means that more people died in various European countries. This is an objective truth that cannot be questioned, but we humans have a strange thinking mode, which is to evaluate an outstanding general.

When it comes to talent, what we always prefer is not the so-called armchair war, but the actual results. In other words, when we usually evaluate Napoleon, the first thing that comes to mind is how many countries he conquered, or how many people he killed.

People and the like.

In fact, this phenomenon is not difficult to understand. For example, if we evaluate China's Gongsun Qi, that is, when Bai Qi was massacred, the first thing we all think of is that Bai Qi killed more than 450,000 Zhao soldiers in the first battle.

, and then I got to know Bai Qi and found that he had not lost any of the more than seventy battles in his life! This is simply incredible, so even in the Qin Dynasty of China, everyone was afraid

Bai Qi, some people call him the God of Killing, but everyone feels that the concept of God of Killing can no longer summarize Bai Qi, so in the end he is named after Human Killing. From this point, it is not difficult to see that Bai Qi

The degree of madness. Finally, our modern scientists made a simple statistics. The statistical result is that if Bai Qi divides his own age by the number of people he kills, he must kill nearly 2,000 people every day to reach this level.

The total number of people he killed in his life, how terrifying is this? Of course, we also use this as the standard to determine whether Bai Qi is a mass murderer.

Then let’s take another example. For example, everyone may be very influenced by American blockbusters. American major movies generally promote a kind of personal heroism. In fact, my personal view is that this is a measure for the United States to invade our Chinese culture.

Because when we watch American movies, we indirectly understand their personal heroism, their culture, and even their thoughts and values. This has changed the original thinking of us Chinese to a great extent.

Values, and even the highest belief in the pursuit of life, and I feel that I have been assimilated quite seriously.

But after all, we are discussing other things now, so we won’t talk about it. In the individual heroism of American blockbusters, we first determine whether the person is a hero. For example, in war movies, we first have to look at him.

How many enemies have been killed? For example, a sniper killed more than a hundred enemies, even in a battle, so he became a hero! But we never consider those more than a hundred enemies who died.

People, from the perspective of our normal thinking mode, it is just a number. Of course, we also have a saying in China that one general's achievements will last forever. In fact, from this sentence we can see what a hero is.

Especially war heroes, this is really scary, but our usual thinking mode as humans is how we understand and judge such people.

Okay, we have compared several examples above, and now we have to understand that in fact, all of us who are currently reading this book know that Napoleon’s existence is because Napoleon attacked the entire Europe, and even died too

We think he is a genius who can defeat a larger number of troops with a smaller number of troops. However, if I tell you now that Napoleon killed too many people in his life, those who were killed were actually never

In essence, there is nothing wrong. They are defending their own land. Of course, this is from a macro perspective. And these dead people are definitely 99% farmers converted into armies. I don’t know what to see.

What exactly do you think here?

But now I don’t know how everyone will view this issue. I just tell you that war will definitely kill people. Behind any hero is the concept of eternal death, whether it is Bai Qi in ancient China or today.

We are talking about Napoleon, but Napoleon was defeated this time, so the above topic analysis appeared.

At this point we have to understand that Napoleon has been attacking other countries, and has defeated the armies of many countries, and then also carried out so-called conquests in terms of terminology. Then we have to understand a very obvious thing, this matter was conquered by Napoleon

After a place, Napoleon has the final say. So after conquering Britain, Napoleon destroyed the British in order to prevent the British from developing the power to resist him in the short or even long term.

The high-pressure policy implemented by the trading system is to prevent them from developing, which has led to European countries cutting off economic exchanges with the United Kingdom, which is also a disguised economic blockade against the United Kingdom.

As for the British high-level officials who were facing economic bankruptcy, they understood that once the economy went bankrupt, they would really be doomed and they would completely become Napoleon's slaves. If they wanted to fight back in the future, they would not know if they would have a chance. So Britain lured Russia away from the European Continental Organization. In this case

Britain will have a glimmer of hope because Napoleon will go to fight Russia. In this case, Napoleon will not have much military power, or in other words, too much energy to continue to implement high-pressure policies against Britain. If they don't do this, they will

The UK had no choice but to surrender, so the British top brass finally decided to do this.

How did the British high-level leaders seduce Russia? In fact, this is relatively simple, which means bribery. Because we humans, strange creatures, always feel that the concept of using people's money to eliminate disasters for others is perfect.

, of course there are exceptions, but under normal circumstances there are no exceptions. Therefore, the British high-level officials sent a lot of goods to the Russian tsar. These goods were very valuable, and the Russian tsar accepted these goods. Since people send money to themselves

, why don’t you want it, right? But Napoleon was very dissatisfied with the Russian Czar’s behavior, because Napoleon felt that these goods should belong to him. Why should the Russian Czar touch his Napoleon’s things? Isn’t this very

Weird?

So in order to retaliate against Tsarist Russia, Napoleon used force to annex the Principality of Selden, which was supported by Tsarist Russia, and began to tighten the blockade against Russia. This behavior of Napoleon also caused the Tsar to become furious! In fact, the Tsar thought that he could rely on his own abilities

Why does the thing you get need to be approved by Napoleon, isn't it? Isn't this strange? This kind of truth is actually hard to explain, but if we must clarify this kind of truth, it is actually very simple, it is like

Today, a man with a gun picked up a wallet on the ground. The police said that the wallet should be turned over, and the owner said that the wallet should be returned to him. However, the man with the gun did not think so. The man with the gun felt that he

Isn’t it inexplicable why the wallet that I picked up by myself should be given to the police or returned to the owner? Therefore, the police or the owner will use force to attack the person who found the money, but the person who found the money has a gun, so

He will definitely fight back. The truth is probably like this, so this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Anyway, in the end, only whoever has stronger force can win, and whoever is the winner will be the winner, and the words and actions of the winner

Whatever comes out is absolutely correct.

Therefore, after Napoleon's actions made the Czar furious, the relationship between Russia and France began to deteriorate rapidly. The Russian high-level officials asked Napoleon of France to withdraw his troops to the west of the Seide River, but Napoleon refused. So whether it is Napoleon or Russia

Both of them realized that war was completely inevitable and that this kind of thing could only be explained clearly through force. Therefore, Napoleon organized a large number of troops and began to plan an eastern expedition to Russia.

Is Russia afraid of Napoleon? It seems not, because Russia is not weak, it is very strong! So on June 24, 1812, Napoleon mobilized a total of 680,000 troops and 1,400 artillery pieces.

More than a hundred gates crossed the Niemen River and began the invasion of Russia. Napoleon planned to directly annihilate the main force of the Russian army in Vilnius and the eastern region. The Russian high-level officials faced the aggressive and huge French army, so the Russian army took

In the active retreat strategy, Napoleon led the French army to pursue it, but the French army failed every time.

While the Russian army retreated, they also implemented fortified walls and clearing fields along the way to block the advancement of the French army. As the French army rapidly penetrated deeper, there was a disconnect between the front and rear, and supply difficulties occurred. So Napoleon ordered the army to stop advancing at this time.

, for rest and recuperation. At this time, the two Russian armies met in Smolensk and organized defense fortifications, digging trenches and building bunkers, etc., and making some preparations before the war.

It was just when the Russian army was setting up the battlefield that Napoleon's army received supplies. After receiving the supplies, Napoleon immediately organized his army to march to Smolensk. By August 16, Napoleon and the Russian army

A fierce battle began in Smolensk. Under the fierce offensive of the French army, the Russian army resisted tenaciously for three days and lost many people. Finally, they could no longer withstand it, so they abandoned the city and continued to retreat.

What's more, the current Russian army only retreats but does not fight, which has led to an uproar in public opinion in Russia and a lot of complaints. People say that if you want to fight, fight, don't keep running like a coward, there is nothing to run away from, in short, public opinion

It's very serious! Because the Russian army has been retreating. Therefore, the top Russian officials can't stand this kind of public opinion. Even some officers at the top can't stand this retreating strategy. They are like cowards.

.Only on August 29, the Russian top brass appointed Kutuzov as commander-in-chief to fight against the French army.

Kutuzov, who knew that retreat was the right decision, was forced by the pressure of public opinion and the Tsar, and decided to start a battle with the French army, because if the fight did not start, the people and the Tsar would eat him alive, although he knew
