255 Attack on Sardinia
In the office of the Chief Consort, Li Wei called all the ministers of the cabinet department and announced the establishment of a new cabinet department - the Education Department.
"The new historical and political textbooks have been compiled, and the Education Department has a heavy task. In the future, it will not only be responsible for educating the people in the French territory, but also for educating the people of newly occupied foreign territories in the future.
This will ensure that all people controlled by the state are loyal to me!
The first task after the establishment of the Education and Chemical Department is to control all official schools in France as soon as possible.
Then, all private and private schools will be rectified. At that time, I will promulgate new laws to prohibit all private teachers from accepting students. Those with teacher qualifications must apply for jobs at the local branch of the Education Department.
I require that all places for teaching and educating in the French Republic must be controlled and supervised by the Education Department!
Moreover, the newly compiled historical and political textbooks must be promoted to all schools, and those unqualified private and private educational institutions, will be banned.
If anyone disobeys the order, he will be arrested directly in the labor service.
By the way, the public should be encouraged to report at that time. The whistleblower can get different degrees of financial rewards based on factors such as the size of the illegal educational institutions reported.
Language education is also unified. I don’t want different languages to appear in a country. Language schools with small local ethnic groups do not need to be rectified and all of them will be banned!”
After stabilizing the French Republic, Li Wei began to carry out educational reforms the next moment.
The historical and political textbooks that are compulsory in all grades are filled with a large number of Li Wei’s “glorious deeds”. The scholars who compiled the textbooks are brainwashed people in the system college. They are unquestionable for their loyalty to Li Wei, and they use “rhetorical means” fabricated out of thin air for their deeds.
For example, Levi's Charles family was formed by a false consortium of Emperor Charles the Great...
This gave Li Wei a prominent family, which is very important in mainstream European society!
As for the massacre and abuse of prisoners by Levi's Black Dragon Legion in the French Civil War, all of them were eliminated, and the reason for Levi's rebellion became "pleading for the people."
Li Wei's army's looting the city turned into eliminating corrupt officials...
All the cities captured by Li Wei were changed to 'liberation' rather than conquering.
Shameless textbook changes can be seen everywhere. The historical textbooks that Li Wei’s Ministry of Education and Culture are about to release are no longer distorting history, but rewriting history!
There is no way. There is too much dark history in the process of Li Wei's rise, and it can only be rewritten to completely beautify the image of Li Wei and the government under his jurisdiction.
At this point, Li Wei has started a comprehensive transformation of France's local politics, economy, military and ideological ideas.
These transformations take time to see the effect.
Li Wei's goal is very simple. Through large-scale internal reforms, he can build a stable rear that belongs only to himself, and provide his army with endless arms and materials to launch a war.
In early 1797, the French Republic had initially completed the reform of the Levi government, and the fact that the French Republic's parliament became Levi's voice-over was also known by the anti-French alliance and the French people.
In an environment without the repression of the revolutionary leader and the powerful French Defence Force, the French peasants who were immersed in the carnival of land reform policies were the first to support Li Wei's rule, and there was no more soil for guerrillas to survive in the whole of France.
At the same time, the Levi government also completed the subsequent military deployment. Lieutenant General Bolkha's Second Army was deployed in the border areas of northwestern France and the Rhine River, blocking the anti-French allied troops in northeastern France and east of France.
Lieutenant General Claybel's third army arranged a division's troops on the border between southern France and the Kingdom of Spain, while the remaining troops were scattered in the French Republic in units of companies, excluding large and medium-sized cities and transportation points outside the Paris region.
In the Paris area, there was a security division with more than 20,000 people garrisoned.
The two divisions trained by brainwashing and training of revolutionary elements arrested in the subsequent arrest have been added to the Second Army and the First Army, of which 80% of them are added to the First Army.
The first army led by Carl exceeded 100,000 war soldiers and invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia in a mighty manner.
Opposite Karl, there are more than 50,000 troops in the Sardinian Army and more than 60,000 Austrian Army.
There is also a coalition of various states in Italy, with a total of more than 30,000 people.
This is already the limit of the anti-French alliance's mobilization in Italy.
Since the Levi government suppressed the restored Kingdom of France and the Pu'Austrian coalition was expelled, forcing the Kingdom of Spain to turn the spearhead and sign a military alliance treaty, which indirectly led to the outbreak of the Spanish-Portuguese War, Austria in the anti-French alliance began a liver-explosion pattern.
The combat effectiveness shown by the Levi government was beyond imagination, which made the Habsburg dynasty feel a fatal crisis.
At the same time, more states of the Holy Roman Empire were brought into the anti-French alliance by Austria and Prussia. The United Republic of the Netherlands recovered the southern Belgium and mobilized the national army to join the anti-French alliance army led by the Kingdom of Prussia, confronting the Second Army of Polkha on the front line of the Rhine.
After experiencing the failure of the initial war in the anti-French alliance, it no longer seeks to take the initiative to attack, and tends to allow the French army to attack the solid fortress defense line they built first.
This is used to consume the strength of the French army.
Of course, if Levi is willing to ced the Savoy area, the anti-French alliance is still willing to negotiate with France.
However, Li Wei only heard this condition and bombarded the peace talks envoys of the anti-French alliance from Paris.
Let the anti-French alliance lose all its face.
This war between France and the anti-French alliance, Tsarist Russia in Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire in West Asia, showed great interest, especially the Ottoman Empire, who was heading to the Balkans. If Austria showed fatigue in this war, the Ottoman Empire would be very happy to seize the Hungarian and Transylvania from Austria!
Although the Ottoman Empire in this era had begun to decline and the industrial revolution had not yet begun in the country. It was beaten to pieces in the Russian-Turkish War during the period of Emperor Catherine, its vast territory and population base, as well as the jihadist ideas armed by the Crescent Cult still made the Ottoman Empire a recognized strong enemy of European countries.
Christians throughout the Balkans were suffering from religious enslavement in the Ottoman Empire.
Even the Lyndwan Brotherhood, who also believed in God, could not gain foothold in the Balkans.
The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is abbreviated as the Kingdom of Sardinia. It is now an Austrian alliance. Even the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is handed over to the Austrian generals to command. The army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Austrian army, and the Italian state coalition have a total of about 150,000 troops. They are all under the leadership of the Austrian generals, and there is no problem of fighting for command.
In the eyes of the Anti-French Alliance, these 150,000 regular troops are enough to rely on the strong fortress and urban defense system to resist the attack of 100,000 French troops.
Carl faced an enemy defense line of hundreds of miles long. In order to ensure that the army's retreat was not cut off, he divided the army into four parts.
The rear guards guarding the rear and maintaining the logistics line, the left wing guarding the left wing to cover the main force of the central army, the right wing guarding the right wing guarding the main force of the central army, and the main force of the central army with a maximum of more than 60,000 people.
The tactics of Carl's arrangement were very simple and were also the most common in this era. He broke through the middle lane, followed up with the guards on both wings, and expanded to the surroundings and consolidated the results of the middle lane army.
Austrian Marshal Boliyu placed the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia in a flat defense zone, which was also a must-pass place for the main force of the Carl Army.
Due to the Alps, there are not many flat roads that the French Republic invaded the Kingdom of Sardinia, but only a few. The Austrian-Sardinian-Italian coalition only needs to focus on defending the military fortresses on these roads to block the French invasion.
Carl's first strategic goal was naturally to attack the richest city in the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Turin, the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Carl kept in mind Levi's strategic instructions and wanted to grab a lot of money this time, and not stay in ordinary towns and focus on wealthy big cities.
A wealthy big city is not just a rich city with a lot of wealth, but it often contains a lot of wealth around the city.
Moreover, defeating Turin could disintegrate the Sardinians' will to resist and even force the Sardinian royal family to sign an unequal armistice treaty.
The reason why Marshal Boliyu put the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia on the front line was very simple. This battle was a battle to defend the country in the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Sardinian soldiers had reason to fight to the end.
The Italian coalition is the weakest army. It’s not that they have poor weapons and equipment, but that these Italian coalitions come from different states and regions, and many of them are composed of mercenaries. Most of them fight for money and have no sense of honor as soldiers.
Moreover, this battle broke out in the Kingdom of Sardinia, and these soldiers of the Italian state coalition did not feel any sense of crisis...
Of course, for Italian soldiers who are still under the traditional feudal system and the traditional commercial republic system, the rise and fall of the country has a relationship with themselves!
Among the Italian state coalition forces, the soldiers of the Republic of Venice and the soldiers of the Republic of Genoa have the weakest fighting will, but their equipment is the best!
More than 70% of the artillery in the Italian state coalition were provided by the Republic of Genoa and the Republic of Venice.
These two Italian states are the richest commercial republics in Italy.
Ruled by the Parliament of Merchants.
Therefore, the Italian state coalition was arranged by Marshal Poliyu on a mountain defense line where the enemy is unlikely to attack.
This move made the Italian state coalition soldiers who were accustomed to urban life complained.
Aricaya, an ordinary Sardinian, was born in Turin and was the "capital man" at the top of the discrimination chain in the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Just like Li Wei's motherland in his previous life, the capital and the demon city discriminated against foreigners, there is no shortage of groups that regard their place of birth as pride and discriminate against other cities and country people in any era.
Aricaya is no exception. After joining the army, he immediately hugged the other Turin people in his company, specifically selecting the private bullies from remote places and not many fellow villagers who have gathered together to keep warm.
"Oh, I actually had slices of meat in lunch today. I was so lucky."
Arica happily put the slices of meat in her hand into her mouth, looking intoxicated. After eating her slices of meat, her eyes instantly locked on other foreigners in the company.
Aricaya came to the privates who were slightly shorter than him, and avoided the other party's food box, and snatched the remaining pieces of meat without hesitation.
"Hi, little dwarf, you are not suitable for eating meat. Eating more vegetables is good for your health."
Aricaya's voice immediately attracted the laughter of privates from Turin around him.
Moreover, the Turin Private who was snatching his companions' meat eaters was not the only one.
As long as there were Turins among them, Aricaya and other Turins immediately flocked to let the other party know the truth that "there are many people and the strong" is the truth.
The Sardinian officer with his own small dining table in the distance had no intention of stopping such a thing.
These Sardinian officers were also from Turin, so they naturally would not help foreigners suppress their fellow countrymen.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing outside the chest defense line where they were located.
The whistle of the emergency gathering sounded throughout the position, and Aricaya hurriedly stuffed the slices of meat in her hand into her mouth, and had not forgotten to bring her food box.
He carried his musket on his back and walked towards the position without any haste while eating.
The private from the countryman who had just been bullied by him but did not dare to resist was also walking forward with his head not far from him.
The officers of the Kingdom of Sardinia seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of scattered phenomenon. Apart from complaining that the enemy's behavior of choosing mealtimes to attack was too immoral, they had no intention of scolding soldiers.
When Aricaya came to the back of the officer's designated chest wall while eating, the food box in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.
I saw blue and black military uniforms all over the mountains, densely guided by the Black Dragon Battle Flag, running towards our own positions.
Pieces of carefully arranged obstacles such as fork-row-strike wooden horses were removed by soldiers in the front row of the enemy with axes.
"shot!
Open fire quickly!
You idiots, don't stand there and stare blankly!"
The noble officers of the Kingdom of Sardinia finally stopped calm at this moment, and punched and kicked and urged the soldiers under his command to shoot quickly.
Aricaya didn't care about the remaining food that had fallen on the ground and sprinkled all over the ground. She hurriedly grabbed the smoothbore gun she was carrying in her hand. Just as she was about to raise the gun, a piece of white smoke suddenly appeared opposite her.
Since the French army launched a bayonet charge directly and did not come in line, the gun queuing was not neat this time, and it was more like many privates shooting freely.
Chapter completed!
