Tear the painted skin to pieces, and all that's left are bloody scars!
There was a ghost in Napoleon III's heart. This ghost made him and destroyed him. That was the heroic soul of Napoleon, the God of War!
In the modern history of France, Napoleon, the god of war, is always unavoidable. This man was almost an all-rounder, not to mention his military achievements. His name as the god of war is recognized all over the world.
In terms of civil and political affairs, Napoleon still had bright spots. He amended the law to protect the fruits of the Revolution, carried out internal peasant reforms and released countless tenant serfs.
The reform of the traditional aristocratic system increased the power of the military aristocracy, and investment in culture and education further promoted France's scientific and technological progress.
This man is very powerful. History has recognized him as a great emperor who can be as famous as Caesar and Alexander the Great!
Even the two failures in his life are actually remarkable!
After the first failure, he was exiled to the Island of Elba. That failure was not due to a mistake in Napoleon's military command, but simply because of insufficient troops.
When his winning streak on the battlefield was unstoppable, the anti-French coalition forces took advantage of their strength to bypass his main force and forcefully attack Paris and occupy it!
Paris was captured, and his wife and children fell into the hands of the enemy, forcing the God of War to surrender. However, after only one year of exile, Napoleon was successfully restored again. On the way back to Paris from the Island of Elba, the people flocked to him and the army surrendered!
In fact, including the second failure, after the Battle of Waterloo, the God of War did not throw away his trump card!
After the defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, the Paris Parliament passed a resolution forcing the emperor to abdicate, but at the same time the people made a completely different choice.
Countless local parliamentary groups and people's representatives strongly urged him to declare France to enter a state of people's war. Napoleon's trusted ministers even advised the emperor to immediately lead troops to dissolve parliament!
Napoleon had not lost the support of the people at that time. If he had declared nationwide resistance in the name of the emperor, history would have been reversed!
But the French Emperor refused because he knew that the Parliament represented the interests of the French bourgeoisie. The Parliament forced him to abdicate. This shows that the French bourgeoisie has abandoned him. Continuing to fight will only cause the division of France!
The final failure of the God of War was actually more due to his voluntary giving up. His life is a legend!
How much do the French people love Bonaparte, the God of War? In fact, this can be seen from the rise of Napoleon III. A nephew with no talent, under the banner of his uncle, was able to restore the Second Empire in the end!
You know, Napoleon III was really elected by the people of France! This shows the lofty status of the God of War in the hearts of the people!
This kind of reputation is a huge political legacy, but it is also a huge burden!
Napoleon III enjoyed this inheritance throughout his life, but at the same time he also carried a huge psychological burden!
Because he must ensure that he is very similar to his second uncle. He must be like him. Whatever achievements the second uncle makes, he must be similar!
Why did Napoleon III go to war so aggressively? Because he is the nephew of the God of War, the people naturally think that you must also be the God of War. If you do not bring victory to the motherland, then you are not like it!
This is the devil buried deep in the heart of the French Emperor, which has tortured him all his life!
Unfortunately, the Bonaparte family is very strange. According to traditional Chinese Feng Shui, it seems that all the Feng Shui of the ancestor's grave is given to Napoleon Bonaparte. The other branches not only have no ability but are always restricted!
Among the five sons of the Bonaparte family, the eldest was Joseph Bonaparte, who was a lawyer and was good at investment and financial management. It was not until his brother Napoleon Bonaparte became powerful that he began to engage in politics and the military!
Such a middle-class person has developed undue ambitions since his brother became emperor. Not satisfied with being crowned King of Naples and King of Spain, he actually demanded that he also have the right to inherit the throne!
He publicly stated that his brother's throne must be entrusted to me!
To put it bluntly, if his younger brother dies before him, then he, the eldest brother, can successfully become the emperor!
Of course, this madman-like request was sternly rejected by the God of War. From then on, the brothers were at odds with each other. The eldest brother even took out a gun and opened fire on his younger brother's oil painting!
The God of War is the second child in the family, and the third child is Lucien Bonaparte. This brother can be said to be second only to Napoleon in talent among the five brothers!
However, this talented brother had a falling out with his elder brother over the choice of a wife, and refused to accept any of his conditions. Anyway, life and death depended on not getting a divorce, and he was even kidnapped by the British for a period of time.
Living in Italy in his later years, he basically did not participate in many affairs of the First Empire in his life!
The fourth of the five brothers was the biological father of Napoleon III. He was named King of the Netherlands by the God of War and ruled the two large territories of the Netherlands and Belgium.
It's a pity that this brother was not loyal to his elder brother at all. He turned his elbows outward and hooked up with the British, and was eventually destroyed by his elder brother.
The last fifth child is Jérôme Bonaparte, the owner of the William Palace. Needless to say, this person is a drunkard who only knows pleasure and has no talent!
Xiao Letian knew the details of the Bonaparte family very well, so he could guess what the imp in the Emperor's heart was. To put it bluntly, the nightmare of Napoleon III's life was that he had great ambition but not enough talent!
In fact, he knew very well that the Bonaparte family only had one god of war and one great king, and that was his second uncle!
Others are no good, both in terms of talent and courage, but there is no way to get rights and you still have to inherit the political legacy of the second uncle!
To put it bluntly, all his life he has been trying his best to make himself more like his second uncle!
There was a time, that is, during the peak period of his second empire, when he really thought that he had become his second uncle!
But the Franco-Prussian War gave him a basin of cold water, and he finally understood that the second uncle will always be the second uncle, and he will always be himself!
No one is anyone, and no one can replace anyone!
But today, Xiao Letian pulled out the dark ghost deep in his heart, even in his subconscious, with heartbreaking pain in his flesh and blood.
How could he not be crazy? The sick Emperor rushed straight at Xiao Letian, his mouth crooked and his eyes squinted as if he had suffered a stroke!
Of course, Xiao Letian, a 62-year-old sick old man, was not afraid, but he couldn't do anything. If word spread that the head of state beat Napoleon III, it would definitely anger the nobles across Europe.
Xiao Letian stood up and jumped up from the sofa, "Hey... Hey, are you going to take action now? Are you going to take action if you can't say it?"
"Why are you drooling? Do you still want to bite someone?"
"I'm telling you...if you dare to bite me, I will kill your son...do you believe it or not? You believe it or not!"
