Chapter 1883: The Rise of Napoleon, Charlemagne, and the Emergence of Two Talented Military Strategists
The Kingdom of Gaul, as one of the five major kingdoms of the Western Rong, is the most powerful one.
At this time, all contradictions are transferred to external contradictions.
After the War of the Spanish, the Church temporarily retreated.
At this time, Temujin's forces, which occupied the three northern routes of Dawu, replaced the Western Rong and became Dawu's biggest concern.
Of course, Temujin was far inferior to the entire Western Rong. However, the problem was that the Western Rong had not occupied the territory of Dawu, but Temujin had taken over three of their territories. Naturally, everyone in Dawu wanted to take it back.
However, with the current Mongolian power, they certainly do not have the confidence to face the Dawu Dynasty alone.
A dynasty-level force is much stronger than the Golden Horde or the Tuoba tribe, either of which is much stronger alone.
Temujin was able to hold on until now, and it was also his good luck that a snowstorm occurred in the northern Di, and the Golden Horde happened to be within the affected area. As a result, the Golden Horde moved south again.
However, the snowstorm was an unexpected surprise for Temujin.
Before this unexpected surprise came, Temujin's real action to save himself was to unite with the Gallic Kingdom in the Western Rong.
The territory and resources of the Kingdom of Gaul were the smallest among the five kingdoms, but their most typical feature was that they were strong enough to fight. Among the five kingdoms, they were the strongest.
The five kingdoms have the smallest overall national strength, but they have formed the largest army.
Of course, perhaps it is precisely for this reason that although the Kingdom of Gaul is capable of fighting, its national strength will always be ranked last among the five major kingdoms.
Another notable feature of the Kingdom of Gaul was that its elite troops were mainly infantry, while its cavalry was weak.
Within the Western Rong, the sources of the best horses were controlled by the Kingdom of Beidun and the Kingdom of Dangu.
As for the other three kingdoms, although they also have certain horse producing areas, they are inferior to those two kingdoms in terms of breeds and in all aspects.
Among these three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Gaul, in particular, not only did it produce the least horses, but it was also mainly bred in ponies, which were not suitable for the tall and strong soldiers of the Kingdom of Gaul.
Therefore, it directly affected the cavalry strength of the Kingdom of Gaul.
Temujin was in urgent need of an ally at that time, and the Kingdom of Gaul was the one that was easiest for him to control.
The communication between the two parties will be much easier only if they grasp the needs of the other party.
In contrast, as another force on the grassland, although the Golden Horde has various conflicts with Dawu, theoretically speaking, it is a very good choice.
However, the only bad thing is that the Golden Horde is too powerful for the current Mongolia. It is so powerful that if Temujin were to unite with this family, there would be no possibility for him to occupy a dominant position. Not to mention a dominant position, he might even end up being reduced to a vassal.
To this end, after a series of negotiations and consultations between Temujin's Mongolian tribe and the Kingdom of Gaul, the two families not only reached an alliance agreement, but also, in order to consolidate this alliance, after a series of twists and turns, reached a marriage agreement.
These two families, similar to Wang Yu and the Golden Horde, entered into an equal marriage. Temujin's son Ogedei married the daughter of the eldest son of the king of the Kingdom of Gaul, while Temujin's daughter Ardalukh married the son of the second prince of the Kingdom of Gaul.
The King of Gaul was already over sixty years old, and none of his daughters were under thirty years old, let alone singles. It was impossible for him to choose among his children for a marriage with the Mongolian tribe, so he could only choose among his grandchildren.
Subsequently, the two companies developed in-depth cooperation.
Temujin provided the Kingdom of Gaul with a large number of war horses, including a considerable number of stallions, as a dowry for his own daughter when she married into the Kingdom of Gaul, and also as a gift for his eldest son Ogedei.
The Kingdom of Gaul, in return, "gifted" Temujin 10,000 sets of armor, including armor for both men and horses. At this stage, Temujin was most in need of armor.
Before this, Temujin's army was actually still mainly composed of light cavalry.
There are also many mineral resources in Beidi.
However, these mineral resources are basically not within the scope of Temujin's grassland. There is only a very small mineral resource in his grassland in Beidi, and after so many years of exploration, it has been almost mined out.
His most important sphere of influence now is actually the three northern regions of Dawu.
But these three roads are relatively barren in Dawu. Although there are a few mineral deposits, these mineral deposits, although large in scale, are extremely difficult to mine, so the output has not increased.
Temujin was helpless about these mines. With the current productivity of Apocalypse, no one could mine such complex minerals on a large scale.
When it was in Dawu's hands, the output was very limited. After it fell into his hands, the output naturally could not be increased. Temujin's mining efficiency was not as good as Dawu's!
Therefore, these 10,000 sets of armor from the Kingdom of Gaul were of great significance to Temujin.
Perhaps, when people think of Genghis Khan, Mongolia, and the Mongolian cavalry, the first impression that comes to their minds is probably light cavalry and kite tactics.
In fact, Genghis Khan also had heavy cavalry under his command, and their scale was extremely large. The Mongolian cavalry team was obviously improved, because each Mongolian cavalry team was a mix of light cavalry and heavy cavalry, with a ratio of about three to two.
When the Mongol Empire rose, its heavy shock cavalry was also very powerful. During the Second Mongol Expedition to the West, heavy cavalry accounted for about 40 percent of the entire cavalry army.
The battle between the Mongols and the European coalition forces showed the powerful combat effectiveness of the cooperation of various cavalry. The Mongols first used a small number of light cavalry to lure the European cavalry to pursue, and then the Mongolian horse archers outflanked the pursuing European cavalry from both wings and continuously fired arrows at the European cavalry, killing and wounding them.
At this time, the Mongolian heavy cavalry on standby launched an attack on the European cavalry, while the Mongolian horse archers from both wings completed the encirclement of the European cavalry.
Due to the continuous casualties suffered by Mongolian horse archers, the European cavalry formation had been scattered and was defeated by the Mongolian heavy cavalry.
The most terrifying thing about the Mongolian cavalry is that their tactics are replicable. When they encounter an enemy force that is not strong enough, they will attack with their entire army. When they encounter a powerful opponent, they will use light cavalry to lure the enemy and destroy the enemy's formation, and then use heavy cavalry to charge.
Temujin had always wanted to build a real heavy cavalry. However, he had been unable to do so due to practical problems. His previous iron ore production was only enough to maintain a normal army and daily needs, and was not enough to support his extravagant formation of heavy cavalry.
After exchanging resources with the Kingdom of Gaul, Temujin successfully developed his first large-scale heavy cavalry force.
It also happened that at this time, the Golden Horde moved south because of a snowstorm, and the newly formed alliance between Temujin and the Kingdom of Gaul naturally became unwilling to be left out.
In fact, in the original Battle of Xilu, the Kingdom of Gaul was very helpless. However, now that they are the only one left in the entire Xirong, they have shown their strong style as a military power.
During this period, many influential figures emerged in the Kingdom of Gaul.
Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born as an infantry lieutenant, stood out in this war and was appreciated by Charles Martel, the chancellor of the palace of the Kingdom of Gaul. He became the son-in-law of Charles Martel, the chancellor of the palace of the Kingdom of Gaul. Of course, this son-in-law was not a son-in-law, but a grandson-in-law.
Napoleon Bonaparte is a hidden character in the previous random summon card. He did not have a good background, but his experiences after birth can be regarded as a life of cheating.
He was in the same army as Charlemagne, the grandson of Charles Martel, the fledgling mayor of the palace of the Gallic Kingdom. He accidentally saved the grandson of the mayor of the palace on the battlefield, which became the first turning point in his life.
But at that time, although he came into the sight of Charles Martel, the Prime Minister of the Palace of the Kingdom of Gaul, he was only regarded as Charlemagne's savior, but not as an outstanding young general of the Kingdom of Gaul.
However, it was precisely because of his familiarity with Charlemagne that he got the opportunity to lead the army alone. Although the number of people was not large, only 2,000, a battle in which 2,000 infantrymen defeated the enemy's 10,000 infantry and cavalry combined forces also allowed him to initially stand out and become a rising star in the military world of the Kingdom of Gaul.
With the support of Charlemagne, he gained greater power and became a general of the Kingdom of Gaul from an ordinary infantry lieutenant. Most importantly, with the support of Charlemagne, he gained the power to fight alone.
Although the force he could control was only a few thousand men, he won several local battles in a row with these few thousand men, making him increasingly popular, until his military talent completely attracted the attention of Charles Martel, the prime minister of the palace of the Kingdom of Gaul.
Thus, the dwarf got the biggest opportunity of his life.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, things went smoothly all the way.
In a short period of time, he became an important figure in the military system of the Kingdom of Gaul.
Another emerging figure from the Kingdom of Gaul in this war was Charlemagne himself.
However, during the war, most people who emerged were naturally those with military talents.
With Napoleon being the only one in the limelight, Charlemagne was really overshadowed.
The Dawu Dynasty was plagued by wars all year round, and as a result, its national strength has been declining in recent years and is no longer as strong as it once was.
During these years, the Dawu Dynasty was often forced to start the next war before the previous one was over. Stuck in the quagmire of war, no matter how rich their family background was, they could not withstand such consumption.
In comparison, the world of the Dawu Dynasty's other neighbor, the Daqin Dynasty, has been relatively peaceful in recent years.
The Qin Dynasty did not intervene in this war.
The previous Western Rong War allowed all the dynasties to participate because they were facing the entire Western Rong. However, the other major dynasties and various forces were not Da Wu's father, so it was impossible for them to take charge of every battle.
But now, the Kingdom of Gaul is only targeting Dawu and has not provoked Daqin. Naturally, Daqin will not easily participate in this war.
During the past two years, Daqin turned its attention to developing its internal affairs, accumulating national strength, and digesting the land it had previously obtained from Dawu.
During this period, although the Qin Empire's territory did not seem to grow at all, the development of its national strength never stagnated.
Between them and Da Wu, it can be said that one is gaining while the other is losing.
In recent years, in the Qin Dynasty, as the old emperor Ying Sheng grew older, he also had some health problems. As the crown prince, Ying Zheng gradually took over the domestic power and began to rule on behalf of Ying Sheng.
Internally, Ying Zheng harassed Ying Qing, Qin Niu, Ying Ji, Ying Elai, Ao Yao and other direct descendants of the royal family, or talents from outside the clan.
Externally, Ying Zheng recruited talents without any restrictions and brought Fan Si, a man from Wei, into his shogunate and made him his confidant.
He also entrusted Wang Qi and Bai Jian, who were recommended by his division commander Wei Liao, with important tasks and ordered them to train a new army.
Fan Si from Wei, according to the original historical trajectory, would become the prime minister of Dawu twelve years later.
However, Da Wu was not in the right position, and his ambitions to dominate the world ultimately came to nothing.
However, now, not only has he arrived in Dawu three years ahead of schedule, but he has also entered the embrace of Daqin.
Wang Qi and Bai Jian were the two most notable military strategists of this generation, and were known as the two most gifted disciples of this generation.
However, in the original historical trajectory, although they were surrounded by halo as soon as they came out, they faced the world's number one general Ren Pingsheng as soon as they came out. He was born extraordinary but had a bad fate, and he ended up in the chaos of the world in a hurry. Therefore, in fact, they did not make any name for themselves.
Even in the history books of later generations, they were just two ordinary names in Ren Pingsheng's biography. Perhaps if they were not known as the two most talented military strategists of their generation, they would not be qualified to leave such a corner in the history books.
However, now they are both only eighteen to twenty years old. If they are in Daqin, it will not be easy for them to meet Ren Pingsheng again even if they want to.
It is unknown whether these two people, whose fate has been completely changed, will have the opportunity to change their destiny and write their own legends in the future!
Speaking of it, the disciples of the military strategist have been more miserable than the last generation.
Jiang Chuqian of the previous generation also encountered Wu Baiqi as soon as he came out of the mountains. And the next time, Wang Qi and Bai Jian were not much better.
The present-day Qin Empire is small in size, but it is full of talented people. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the necessary facilities.
