18th century total war

Chapter 161 Target Marseille
The second reason, of course, is that the standing army created by Li Wei is still relatively young, and there is no serious gangsterism inside, so as long as the division commanders and deputy division commanders and Niza, the commander of the division, are well controlled, the standing army There can be no chaos in the regiment.

After all, the military tradition of the following grams has not yet appeared in France.

Revolutions continue to break out in Paris, and they are rarely triggered by officers and soldiers in the army. It is usually the armed citizens of Paris who start the revolution. The army and police are most often the targets of coercion.

Or simply remain neutral, and they will be loyal to whoever wins power and receive wages...

It is precisely because there is no tradition of defeating superiors in the French army, that is why Dimouriez, a person like Dumouriez who wants to keep his power, has not overthrown him with so many people in the Northern Army after he joined the counter-revolutionary forces...

It wasn't until Fatis led troops to fight that the Northern Army Group disintegrated.

In fact, the tradition on the lower grams belongs to the characteristics of the dwarfs of a certain island country, and has a lot to do with their historical origins.

The rise of Japan's first samurai was to cut off the heads of the bosses on the head, and the tradition of committing crimes in the army sprouted from this time.

Later, Japan experienced the Warring States Period, and it became common for the lower daimyos to betray the emperor and even the generals. Naturally, the military tradition of the lower lords was carried forward.

Especially as the eldest emperor of the Japanese legal system, even in the period of the unification of the Japanese islands, he was still a rubber stamp like a puppet.

The orthodox authority of the Japanese emperor is discarded in Japan like a husky's feces diaper, and the lower ranks of the Japanese army are naturally accustomed to the tradition of following the upper class...

Other countries may not be able to learn this custom that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Especially in the Western world, where orthodoxy is very sacred, there is almost no market for the following.

Because of this, Li Wei stabilized his rear by controlling the top levels of the government.

Even many of the policies promulgated by Li Wei were not very friendly to the common people.

In this era, the production capacity cake of human society is so big. Li Wei not only wants to maintain the stability of the rear, but also maintain the expenses of his foreign campaigns. He must swallow up most of the production capacity cake. Naturally, there will not be much left for the common people...

This is the production cake left behind after Li Wei enfeoffed remote rural land, expropriated church property by default, and controlled capitalists to monopolize it!
Don't look at the fact that the Wallace Business Alliance is now a giant in the Kingdom of New France. It is almost equal to the monopoly state-owned enterprises of later generations, and it covers almost all commercial activities.

But the members of the capitalists in Wallace's business alliance earned less profit than before...

Because Wallace, the minister of commerce, is too self-absorbed and does not allow any member of the Wallace business alliance to falsify the accounts, the difficulty and cost of tax evasion for capitalists have skyrocketed...

What's more terrible is that Li Wei also greatly increased the business tax!
The accounts are clear and business taxes have been increased. Even if the commodity trading has been monopolized, the capitalists of various industries in the Wallace Business Alliance can still only make a small profit.

In addition, for the sake of stability in the rear, Li Wei did not allow these capitalists to hoard goods and must keep the market price stable.

It's not that you are not allowed to raise prices, but you can't raise prices indiscriminately!
Although Livy's adjustments to market prices were not as terrifying as the revolutionary government in Paris next door, they were still a benefit to the common people and would not force most people to starve to death.

Although Li Weiming's big banner is to restore the old system, many laws promulgated by the Li Wei regime actually refer to the template of the Paris Revolutionary Government to neutralize and prevent the common people in the territory from rebelling.

On the one hand, Li Wei used the Black Dragon Legion to deter the civilians in the territory, and on the other hand, he ensured that most people would not starve to death. Naturally, the towns behind the Li Wei regime would not be chaotic. Not as good as a day...

Of course, Li Wei's behavior also dissatisfied many French nobles in exile, because Li Wei did not restore the original noble privileges at all. The restored noble privileges are generally only valid in remote noble fiefdom villages!

In other words, on the land directly under the Li Wei regime, the nobles had no privileges other than being more noble.

The French land that Li Wei won was all baptized by the revolution, and his measures did not meet much resistance.

The capable nobles either ran away or died, and those who were unable to stay took refuge in Li Wei, and did not dare to talk to Li Wei because of the privileges of the nobles...

If you ignore Levy's dictatorship, the economic monopoly of Wallace's business alliance, and the feudal behavior in remote villages, there is actually not much difference between the Levy regime and the Paris revolutionary government, and there is not even a political purge and revolutionary court!

The civilian class cannot understand high-level political logic. They can only see everything they can see. When the residents of the cities occupied by Livy's army found that their lives were not much different from the past, they naturally did not A lot of panic and hatred.

Don't think that everyone can have enough to eat in the land controlled by the revolutionary government of Paris. Apart from their slogans that shock people's hearts, the living conditions there are no better than those under Li Wei!
This is what worries Robespierre and even the National Salvation Committee the most!

They saw the possibility of Levi replacing them.

If Li Wei is the same as the original Louis XVI set, Robespierre will never continue to maintain the revolutionary court anxiously, overdraw the future national conscription, learn from Li Wei to set up a preacher, and create a revolutionary army for national salvation.

Not only the newly recruited recruits formed the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, but the original National Self-Defense Forces and the regular army directly under the revolutionary government were mixed into the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, serving as veteran non-commissioned officers and grassroots officers to increase the combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army as quickly as possible. .

As for the foreign anti-French alliance, Robespierre completely ignored it. If Li Wei did not die for a day, Robespierre would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Under Robespierre's crazy troops, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army organized in the Paris area quickly exceeded the 30 mark. There are also similar numbers of National Salvation Revolutionary Army distributed in other regions and provinces!
In addition to Paris, another key point of defense is the revolutionary holy city of Marseille.

Not long after Li Wei arrived in Toulouse, he began to dispatch troops, and there was a tendency to continue southward, penetrate the entire south of France, and approach Marseille!
Before that, the glory points were continuously consumed, and the four calibrated cities were gathering at the speed of [-] Guards Infantry per month in the direction of Toulouse!
