Since the outbreak of the Fifth Anti-French War, less than a year later, the main force of the Allied Army on the Ilibyan Peninsula was annihilated. Not only did Carlos IV return to Madrid with his queen to restore the country, but there were no many regular troops in the entire Spanish Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Portugal has been working hard to train and convene militia reserves, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is only a matter of time left to fall of the Ilibyan Peninsula.

However, after the restoration of Carlos IV, he was forced to go to Vienna to meet Levi, and was then enlightened by the administration to become a loyal slave.

This news soon spread throughout the Anti-French Allied Alliance with the intelligence of British spies.

They knew that the orthodoxy of the Spanish royal family was irreversible...

In order to avoid the hypnotic and brainwashed by Levi's successor, Ferdinand VII, the London government decided to transport Ferdinand VII a semi-forced nature to the British Isles under house arrest, and formed an exile government to continue to "remote control" to command the rebels of the Spanish Kingdom.

Of course, the so-called remote control command is actually the British who are helping to command.

The Spanish guerrillas had nothing to do with Ferdinand VII except for their nominal allegiance to Ferdinand VII.

The Spanish guerrillas mainly formed the defeated Spanish defeated soldiers and mercenary defeated soldiers. Men with blood hatreds with the French, and ordinary Spanish who did not want to be ruled by the French and were influenced by nationalist ideas.

The last one is the one with the highest proportion of military sources!

As a kingdom on the verge of France, over time, the Spanish were undoubtedly the most serious in the French Revolution ideas, even more serious than Central and Southern Europe under the control of the Levi government.

Although Li Wei relied on the trend of the French Revolution, after he became the emperor of the French Empire, he strictly guarded the revolutionary thoughts.

All books and even all paper media related to revolutionary thought are listed as forbidden objects. Once discovered, they will be burned in public immediately. The holder will be sentenced severely, and those in serious circumstances will even be executed!

You should know that in order to increase the cheap labor force of labor agencies, the Li Wei government has cut a large number of death criminal laws and changed them to life imprisonment, or punishments that cost hundreds or thousands of years, which will give you hopeless reduction of sentences.

Only crimes that are equal to treason will be convicted of death.

From this we can see how much punishment the Li Wei government has on revolutionary thought is no less than that of the literary inquisition that emerged during the Qianlong period of the Far East Empire in Li Wei’s previous life!

For this reason, the Li Wei government also publicly hanged many well-known philosophers and thinkers, all of whom had made sympathy and even appreciated revolutionary remarks.

Because of this, except for the unchangeable French land, the French Revolution thought spread very slowly in other areas conquered by the Levi government, and was basically entirely propaganda by the underground revolutionary organizations supported by the anti-French alliance.

This is actually a typical behavior of reverse action in history.

In contrast, the Spanish Kingdom next door did not have the strict public opinion control as strict as the Levi government, but the idea of ​​the Great Revolution gradually spread on the Ilibyan Peninsula.

It just didn't develop to the point of overthrowing the monarch. After all, the ideological gap between the Spanish and French was still very large, and they were not suitable for days without a monarch's rule.

However, Spanish national thought emerged.

Moreover, the Spanish nobles repeatedly provoked the authority of Carlos IV, which also made the Spanish people doubt the personal prestige of the monarch.

In the eyes of the Spanish, the king and the emperor in the eyes of the ordinary people in the Eastern world are two completely different creatures.

Therefore, the Spaniards did not think that the king was the ruler who enslaved them, and the Spaniards believed that the king was just the leader of the country.

This is like the people of later generations who know that the president is the leader of a country and has a high position and a powerful position. However, if we really ask the people of later generations how afraid of the president are, few people will probably agree.

Even in some countries, the president has become the focus of the people's chat after dinner, including many remarks that slander the president!

Although the Spanish people today are not as exaggerated as the people in later generations treat the president, they are actually very close.

These are all ideological changes brought about by the Spanish aristocrats' back and forth.

Since the king is no longer everything, nationalist thoughts will arise for granted, and many Spanish nobles will even use the concept of Spanish nation to win people's hearts and oppose Carlos IV.

In addition, the London government is the biggest mastermind behind the promotion of Spanish nationalism.

The previous several wars made the senior officials of the London government extremely disappointed with the military power of the Kingdom of Spain, and did not want the Ilibyan Peninsula to easily fall into the hands of the tyrant Levi. So, they took the lessons of the French Revolution that year and began to promote nationalist ideas within the Kingdom of Spain.

Since Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland are ally of the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Spain cannot interfere with the London government's promotion of nationalist ideas.

As long as the London government does not promote anti-feudal and anti-monarchy remarks, everyone will turn a blind eye.

After all, the purpose of the London government was not to overthrow the superstructure of the Spanish Kingdom, but to use nationalism to enhance the Spanish's xenophobia and fighting will.

Originally, countries in the continent did not know the power of nationalist thought, but after the revolutionary army exploded with the general fighting spirit during the French Revolution, countries in the continent loved and hated democratic thought.

What I love is nationalist thinking that will increase the combat effectiveness of the European army to a level close to that of Li Wei’s brainwashing army.

Hate is that nationalist thought can easily lead the people to the direction of extreme hatred of the upper class. After all, in the French Revolution thought, freedom and equality are the main central ideas.

No matter how you change it, this core idea cannot be removed, otherwise the ability of nationalist ideas to attract people will be greatly weakened.

Of course, there are still many smart people in the ruling class in this world. The Prussian Kingdom is actually adopting a nationalist idea that is suitable for its own country, which is called nationalism in later generations!

Nationalism combines nationalist thoughts and the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, perfectly combining the concept of nation with loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

However, the Prussian Kingdom was too late to awaken, and it was too late to use time to nurture it. Most Prussian soldiers were in a state of slight understanding. This was also due to the compulsory education that the Prussian Kingdom began during the reign of Frederick the Great. Otherwise, this nationalist idea would not be promoted in a short period of time.

Facts have proved that the London government's efforts to promote national ideas in the Ilibyan Peninsula were still fruitful. After the complete destruction of the Spanish aristocrats and the rebel royal family, there were still a large number of active guerrilla rebels in the Spanish Kingdom.

Although these guerrilla rebels are not subordinate to each other, they all have a common goal - to drive away the French invaders!

Moreover, most of the leaders of these guerrilla rebels were not nobles, but warriors who came out of the civilians. They had the spirit of hard work and perseverance, and had a great determination to resist the tyrant Li Wei.

As for Carlos IV, it was not necessary for the London government's spies to promote it. The Spanish people had already labeled him as selling his country for glory. His reputation among the Spanish people is comparable to that of Li Wei's late sunny history in his previous life.

Looking at what Carlos IV did after the restoration of the reign of the reign, it is not difficult to understand why the Spanish hated him so much.

After the restoration of Carlos IV, the power to reorganize the cabinet was handed over to the ruling team from France, that is, the senior officials who were enlightened by Li Wei's administration.

Subsequently, he even gave the military, political and judicial power to the French government team, and he became the rubber stamp of the country!

It can be said that Carlos IV did nothing except orthodox status!

What is the difference between giving Spain to the French?

Even if there are many foolish Spanish people who don’t know the truth very well, there will be British spies and guerrillas who understand the inside story to tell those people the cruel truth.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will take less than a few years to continue to let Carlos IV sell his country!

Then the Kingdom of Spain will be incorporated into the Roman Empire and become a veritable vassal state!

This obviously made most of the Spaniards who had just awakened nationalism and couldn't accept it in their hearts.

Boercha naturally knew how high the opposition among the Spanish people was, but now he had not even completed the task of occupying territory, so he had not sent troops to clear out the Spanish guerrillas who were hiking mountains and forests.

For Boercha, it is not difficult to defeat the main force of the Spanish-Portugal coalition, and it is also easy to scare away the British German Corps, but occupying the entire Ilibi Peninsula is a major project.

Although some Spanish nobles with weak legs would take the initiative to offer their castles and fiefs, most of the Spanish nobles who were relying on the anti-French alliance to resist stubbornly.

Even the London government has arranged their retreat, and it doesn't matter if it can't be defeated. As long as you insist on opposing, your family can receive a wealthy family from the city of London. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the exiled noble parliament of Ferdinand VII to make political remarks and give a sense of existence.

Compared to being a dog for Li Wei, he had to risk his will to be washed away by hypnosis. The conditions offered by the Anti-French Alliance are already pretty good.

The London government is paying for the maintenance funds of the exiled government!

Furthermore, the public opinion of the Spanish Kingdom that was everywhere against France also gave many Spanish nobles an illusion that they would sooner or later return to the Ilibyan Peninsula under the call of justice.

This forced the Roman Guards to attack one city and one land, and to defeat one piece of land.

Even the army tried to avoid remote areas with complex terrain and avoid the attacks of guerrilla black guns.

The frontal combat of the Spanish guerrillas was the trash that the Roman Guards charged, but it was still very troublesome to fire a black gun.

Even the Sharpshooter army may be broken into complex terrain.

Who said that the muskets of this era are too big and the medical conditions are too poor. As long as you are hit, you will die?

The lives of the guerrillas are worthless. Polkha doesn't want his soldiers to die without dying on the battlefield, but instead being killed by inexplicably black guns while on duty.

All of this naturally delayed the speed of Polkha's advance.

So much so that Polkha discovered that he could not level the entire Ilibi Peninsula within the deadline issued by Levi!

So Boll was furious.

The price of Borkha's anger was very expensive. He began to stop restraining his soldiers and launched bloody revenge massacres against the stubborn cities and castles, and even the countryside!

Before every siege, Polkha would convey a message to the city through various channels - surrender and avoid death, and resist the massacre and destruction!

At first, those stubborn cities did not believe in evil, but were turned into empty cities by the Roman Guards, and even burned down by fire in the end!

Because cities without people are of no place to the Roman Empire, the complex buildings in the city will become the favorite strongholds of guerrillas. It is impossible for Polkha to divide his troops to station an empty city, so the final choice is to completely destroy and burn it all.

After slaughtering a city and castle in succession, the Spaniards finally had to pay attention to the French invading army.

The other party is really too cruel!

In the face of life threats, a large number of cities and castle defenders began to open the door to surrender regardless of the orders of the superiors' remote control command.

This time, Polkha's advancement speed has been significantly improved.

Sure enough, the Spanish and the Portuguese were both a bunch of naughty men. They were afraid of not killing them and would not know the cruelty of war.

The cities and castles that open the door to welcome the surrender, superstructures and garrisons are often moved away, and then moved in to senior executives from France, as well as a group of local militias from France to maintain public order.

This is mainly to prevent the city from rebelling again after the main force of the Roman Guards left.

After all, Polkha knew that it was impossible for him to stay on the Ilibyan Peninsula for a long time.

Obviously, this method works very well.

Although the combat effectiveness of those French local militias was not strong, they rely on city defense to deal with a group of Spanish and Portuguese guerrillas without heavy weapons.

As for the kind of city that resists to the end, there are not many. The casualties of Boercha's troops are basically caused by such cities.

After Polcha defeated Lisbon, the entire Ilibyan Peninsula fell into the control of the Roman Empire, and Carlos IV even won the victory to annex the Kingdom of Portugal into the Kingdom of Spain. The French army had killed more than 10,000 people!

Moreover, more than one-third of the cities or castles on the Ilibyan Peninsula were destroyed by war, people were displaced, and the population dropped sharply by nearly half!

Of course, not all the sharply reduced populations have been massacred, and many of the disappeared population have fled by boat or penetrated into the mountains and forests to become "hidden population".
