In fact, the key problem is that An Ning did it too early.
Under the circumstances at that time, he decided to divide the fields with a slap on the head - really a slap on the head.
Then Napoleon firmly declared that Anning had been thinking about this matter since 1780, which led to this decision that took a slap on the head and turned into a decision that took eleven years of thinking.
Everyone now thinks that this was An Ning's deliberate action.
So An Ning couldn't change it, so he had to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, in An Ning's knowledge, there were already people who had gone through the thunder, and there were ready-made experience summaries, so An Ning wrote down part of those experience summaries based on memory, distributed them to his subordinates, and reluctantly pushed forward the field allocation.
.
As a result, the distribution of experience summaries itself became evidence of An Ning's careful consideration, making everyone more convinced that this was an action that An Ning had planned for a long time.
If An Ning had been given time to think carefully instead of chasing a duck like this, An Ning would have chosen to stay put and wait until 1793.
Although France is now in chaos and there are rebellions everywhere, the rebels have not formed a unified system and are all acting independently.
By 1793, France had a large number of organized rebels, especially in the Vendée region, and the number of rebels was large enough to threaten Paris.
At that time, if the fields were divided, Paris would probably have no time to care about tranquility.
It's useless to think about it now, the fields have been divided, and accountability from Paris should come in a week.
If something goes wrong, he might actually have to fight the National Guard led by Lafayette first.
Anning has sent several groups of spies to Paris these days to investigate the situation and get to know Lafayette's National Guard.
The news he received was that Lafayette did not focus on training the troops. He often spoke in parliament and also participated in various club activities and went to various dances and so on.
In other words, the level of Lafayette's troops is basically the same as the more than 1,000 people An Ning brought to the drilling tower a year ago.
But within this year, Lafayette reorganized the Old Kingdom Army, had the old army replace its white military uniforms, and incorporated it into the National Guard.
He used this method to expand the National Guard in Paris to more than 60,000 people.
Considering that the National Guard is also responsible for the security of Paris, it would be impossible for Lafayette to bring out all the troops to fight for peace, but there will always be 30,000 or 40,000 troops.
Although the old army had been in trouble for a while because of the National Assembly's use of coupons to pay military salaries and dissatisfaction with the officers in the army, it was a fully trained army after all and should not be underestimated in a fight.
An Ning could only sigh heavily when he thought that he might be hostile to enemies twice as many or even five times as bright.
——Damn it, if I were really a famous general, I would naturally not be afraid of a two-to-one troop ratio, but it’s a pity that I’m not.
If I had a real-time strategy system that allowed me to command my army like in Total War, then I probably wouldn't be in vain to practice with the enemy.
It's a pity that I only have a system where personal battles can work.
I can't kill tens of thousands of people by myself, I'm exhausted, okay?
The only good thing now is that his men have recruited Davout, Lannes, and Napoleon.
But Lafayette also had Berthier. Although Berthier was not good at commanding, he was the most outstanding chief of staff and was best at turning the commander's orders into troop mobilization.
As for his commander-in-chief, Lafayette, he had trained with General Cornwallis of the British Army during the North American War of Independence.
Looking back on An Ning's combat experience so far, he basically took advantage of the first attack twice, especially the second time, it was a sneak attack that took a big advantage.
In a serious face-to-face fight with Lafayette, An Ning had no confidence that he could win.
Sure enough, there is still a surprise attack...
An Ning rubbed his chin, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming war in this rare free afternoon.
Or attack at night and burn down Lafayette's military camp - in this era, troops marched and fought in the wilderness, and when the army was camping, there were endless tents.
After all, Lafayette's army was not yet a true revolutionary army, and it had not learned the trick of the French army to find fellow villagers to stay overnight.
It is theoretically possible to carry out a sneak attack in the middle of the night and set the company camp on fire.
But there are two problems with this. One is that many people in An Ning's army suffer from night blindness and cannot see very far at night even if they light a torch.
If you don't light a fire, many people will be blind.
In fact, this problem is easy to solve. Just eat vegetables such as carrots a week in advance to supplement vitamin A.
The second problem is the real fatal problem: not enough organization.
You can actually see this if you watch The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Night raids are all about carefully selected warriors, and the teams are generally not large.
Because the military discipline of the general troops cannot be maintained at night, only a few elites can enforce it.
Those who carry out night attacks are basically the closest and most elite part of the general's own troops. Many of them may have followed this general for many years. Only in this way can the level of organization be maintained enough to launch a night attack.
Therefore, if you want to attack at night, you must have troops that are elite enough and highly organized.
An Ning thought of Davout's First Brigade.
You can try it...
Um?
An Ning suddenly realized that this problem had been solved.
——I have a highly organized and elite army, and I have a training team!
Although after a night attack, the whole scene must be extremely chaotic, and it is hard to say how many people from the teaching team will come back, but at this time, there is no need to worry about so much.
An Ning stood up excitedly and began to pace around the room, rubbing her hands as she walked.
Use the training team to launch a sneak attack and burn the hell out of you. Although the training team probably cannot kill tens of thousands of troops at once, it is still good to weaken the enemy.
After weakening the enemy, fight with them again on the plains!
By then our army will definitely have advantages in morale and fighting spirit and other aspects, and then rely on the talents of our generals - there is a way! There is a way!
The more An Ning thought about it, the happier she became, pacing back and forth in the room.
**
At this time, Paris.
Lafayette also paced back and forth in his headquarters, muttering to himself: "At this time, a military victory can restore my reputation."
Not long ago, people in Paris gathered at the Champ de Mars, demanding that Parliament take firm measures to change the current situation of rebellion in the city, and at the same time protest against the hyperinflation caused by the indiscriminate issuance of bonds.
Lafayette instead ordered the National Guard to shoot to disperse the crowd, which resulted in the massacre at the Champ de Mars.
Many people in the National Assembly took advantage of this and wanted to impeach Lafayette as commander-in-chief of the National Guard.
They almost succeeded, and Lafayette might have gone home if the delegates from Conta hadn't diverted the attention of Congress by complaining about General Andy Frost's violation of the Constitution.
Parliament has just sent a special commissioner to Konta to stop this violation of the constitution.
Lafayette prayed in his heart that Andy Frost would never obey the commissioner's orders.
Once the cobbler disobeys orders, the Parliament will send troops to subdue him.
Lafayette is obviously the most suitable candidate.
After all, the cobbler was a so-called war hero, and the Congress believed that he had outstanding military talents. In this case, it was impossible to replace Lafayette, who was familiar with the army.
Lafayette paced back and forth, murmuring in a low voice: "You must not give in, Frost! Show the same momentum as when you said in front of His Majesty the King, 'Only the bayonet can make us leave'!"
