18th century total war

Chapter 61 The Busy Provincial Legion

"We should take advantage of Li Wei's unstable foothold and mobilize all our troops to attack Rennes, we can't waste time here!
When Li Wei rebelled, he was very public, declaring that he would restore the old system, revoke the Declaration of Human Rights, and go against the grain!

Such an arrogant person, after taking down Rennes, the capital city of the region, did not announce the establishment of a new government in a high-profile manner, nor did he issue any official documents explaining his political intentions.

Obviously, Li Wei is not strong enough now, so he has to stay dormant.

This is a godsend opportunity. Even if Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion was undefeated in the first battle, after all, there are few people and the loss is not light. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Li Wei, wait for Li Wei to recover and complete the expansion of the Black Dragon Legion. , It will be difficult to take back the city of Rennes! "

Wallace gave a generous speech in front of many "leading troops" congressmen, trying to persuade everyone to mobilize [-] provincial troops to attack Rennes.

"Your Excellency Wallace, we never expected that the city of Rennes would be lost so quickly. After we wiped out Levi's lair, [-] troops have dispersed into the province of Morbihan to maintain a new order. We want to Gathering all the armies is not something that can be done in a short time.

Moreover, the army came from across the province, and the soldiers lacked training. They were miserable and resentful. They needed a period of rest to recover their morale. "

"We can't gather everyone, we can pull as many as we can, as long as we gather 1 people, we can definitely win the city of Rennes.

Otherwise, we will rest here, and Li Wei's black dragon army in Rennes is also expanding!

The Black Dragon Legion established by Li Wei is very evil, and the soldiers trained by Li Wei are very fierce in battle. Even if more than half of the battle is lost, they can still launch a bayonet charge!

Dare I ask, how many teams are there in the world today that can do this?

If Li Wei is given enough time to expand and train the Black Dragon Army, even if the number of the Black Dragon Army reaches 5000, we may not be able to win the city of Rennes when we gather 2 people! "

"Your Excellency Wallace, you are exaggerating.

The armies of Finistère and Amor-Maritimes are not as incompetent as the Ille-Vilaine Legion.

It is said that at that time, the Ille-Vilaine Legion was attacked by its own people, which led to a big defeat.

Your Excellency Wallace, don't you think all the troops are trash like the Ille-Vilaine Legion. "

After the fall of Rennes, members of the district council who had conflicts of interest with Wallace immediately seized the opportunity and began to trip Wallace.

Because they know that the reason why Wallace is anxious is mainly because many of Wallace's industries are located in the province of Ille-Vilaine, and many factories in Rennes have Wallace's shares, and they are all cheap now. Levi!
Every time Levi occupied Rennes for an additional month, Wallace would lose a lot of money.

If it weren't for the great fortune of Wallace's family, they would have gone bankrupt because of this war.

In fact, as Li Wei entered Rennes City and raided and plundered the surrounding towns, many small and medium-sized capitalists who depended on Rennes City for their livelihood have gone bankrupt...

In many cases, without the Black Dragon Legion robbing them, it only needs to stagnate the business and trade economy of Rennes City, which is enough to make those small and medium-sized capitalists with insufficient capital chains accumulate goods and go bankrupt!
Wallace glared fiercely at the congressman who had been playing against him. His business in the province of Ille-Vilaine was destroyed, and his total assets declined. This gave the other party a chance to turn around. The province of Le-Vilaine, I wish Li Wei could occupy it for a longer period of time and destroy it...

As for Wallace's threat from Levi, everyone didn't take it seriously.

Regardless of how Wallace and his party promote the bravery of the Black Dragon Army under Li Wei's command, the fact that it is too exaggerated is still difficult to be convincing.

Everyone prefers to believe that it was because the Ille-Vilaine Legion was too weak that it led to more defeats and fewer defeats.

Of course, the reason why the coalition forces of the two major provinces delayed the dispatch of troops was not really to release water to give Li Wei a chance to expand his army, but because the legions of the two major provinces left their hometowns and came to the province of Morbihan. And go back!
Even though everyone is French, they are embarrassed to rob in public, but the supplies provided by the local government to reward the army are indispensable. During this period of time, the official roads from Morbihan province to the two major provinces are very busy, and there are a large number of them every day. Officers and soldiers send goods back to their hometown!
The reason why only a thousand soldiers were stationed in the town of Charles was because the other troops had dispersed to various parts of the Morbihan province, armed with muskets to extort money from the local government... collecting protection and security fees!

After all, in name, the two provincial legions came here to quell the rebellion in the Morbihan province.

This phenomenon of guest troops extorting places is also an unspoken rule in the decadent nature of the French Kingdom, and it does not mean that a great revolution can completely eliminate it.

In this day and age, the people's regional thinking is very serious, not to mention crossing provinces, even if crossing several towns, they can be regarded as outsiders.

Some members of the upper echelon disagreed with Wallace, and the two major provincial armies below were marching in the Morbihan province for their own pockets, so it became a luxury to assemble and dispatch troops.

However, Wallace's personal prestige has been greatly reduced because the Ille-Vilaine Provincial Army led by Li Wei was wiped out by Li Wei's army, and his assets have declined due to the war.

Although the responsibility for the defeat described in the official document was borne by the dead general, the members present knew very well that Wallace had to bear at least half of the responsibility for the destruction of the Ille-Vilaine Provincial Legion!

Because Wallace is the strategic commander who determines the direction of the legion, the dead general is at best a tactical commander.

If it weren't for Wallace's instructions, the Ille-Vilaine Legion might not have encountered the Black Dragon Legion in the wild.

At that time, Wallace and his team wanted to solve Li Wei as soon as possible, and then went to the province of Morbihan to collect protection fees and security fees, which was similar to the current thinking of the two major provincial legions.

It's a pity that Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion is not as powerful...

The members of the Ille-Vilaine province headed by Wallace are still arguing with the members of the other two provinces in the conference room, and there is still no conclusion.

As the victim, the Provincial Councilor of Morbihan, at this time, quietly acted like a turtle.

There is no way, the army of Morbihan province has been rubbed on the ground by Li Wei's black dragon army, and the weak have no right to speak!
Looking at the noisy conference room, Gibbon, the Speaker of Morbihan Province, sighed in his heart: "It seems that there will be no result here until the military order from Paris is issued."
