King's Landing in France

Chapter 121 Why Are You Not Bald
A few days later, An Ning was watching training in the playground in the back garden of the manor, when Lazar Kano suddenly led a person to find An Ning.

An Ning looked at the person Kano brought with him in doubt, and asked, "Who is this?"

Kano: "This is the second lieutenant of the No.12 Cavalry Regiment, Louis-Nicolas Davout."

An Ning said "Oh", then carefully looked at the person Kano brought, and asked suspiciously, "Why aren't you bald?"

In most of Dawu's portraits, the most obvious feature is the bright sky cap, which is similar to the Japanese kappa monster.

This impression was too deep, so An Ning blurted out subconsciously.

Dawu was shocked: "What? Your Excellency, how do you know that my hair loss is severe?"

Lazar Kano was also taken aback: "General, you even counted his hair loss?"

At this moment, An Ning realized that her performance was too much, so she hurriedly made amends and said, "The person who recommended you to me noticed that you lost a lot of hair, so he told me too."

Davout: "May I ask who recommended me, a person who wears a crime?"

An Ning: "Wear the body of a sin?"

Kano explained: "He was arrested by the local National Assembly because he led a mutiny and fought for wages."

Davout corrected angrily: "It's not about fighting for wages. I was an officer who led them to oppose the Old Kingdom. Instead, I was arrested by the National Assembly, and I have been imprisoned until now!"

"It took a lot of connections to get him out of the prison where he was originally stationed." Kano said, "But it's worth it. I've seen the resume of Second Lieutenant Davout. He comes from a military family and is proficient in riding and archery." , swordsmanship and archery are exceptionally superb, and he studied at the Paris Military Academy...the university where you teach."

An Ning thought about it, and felt that it didn't make sense to say that he had paid attention to Dawu when he was in college, so he said vaguely: "At that time, I mainly taught mathematics."

When he was in the Military Academy, An Ning didn't pay much attention to finding the Marshal of Napoleon's era, because he didn't think he could become His Excellency General at all.

At that time, he wanted to be a nimble fencer, but he never thought that he would become a fence, armed with weapons, and start poaching talents.

It can only be said that a person's fate mainly depends on the course of history.

Davout: "By the way, when I was in college, I knew a little Corsican guy who seemed to respect you very much."

An Ning raised his eyebrows. He remembered that Davout was very impressed with Napoleon, so he was willing to be a pawn later?How is it now "a little Corsican dwarf"?

I saw that version of Napoleon's biography was written wrong?Or is it that the creator has no brains to blow Napoleon?

Or, did I change the history again?
While thinking about this, An Ning replied: "Oh, you are talking about Napoleon Bonaparte. He is my friend and a very remarkable genius, but he should go home to visit relatives in Corsica now."

Shortly after the capture of the Bastille, Napoleon wrote to An Ning, enthusiastically praising An Ning's capture of the Bastille, and declaring that he would imitate An Ning in Corsica and do a great job.

Shortly after that, Napoleon took a leave of absence to return to Corsica.

Now presumably he is experiencing setbacks in Corsica - just like in real history.

Davout: "Really? That's a pity, he's a very good artillery officer."

An Ning: "Then, Second Lieutenant Davout, do you know that all the cavalry in my army are female soldiers?"

Davout: "I don't think female soldiers can perform the tasks of cavalry. They should be bored after cutting off a few heads, and their ability to continue fighting is doubtful.

"Cavalry is also a labor of strength! They are good as infantry, especially as skirmishers. Skirmishers generally do not fight hand-to-hand with line infantry. They are mainly responsible for shooting harassment, which consumes less energy."

An Ning raised her eyebrows. It's no surprise that it was Davout who pointed at the female soldier's culprit: There is a gap between women and men in terms of physical fitness, but in skirmishers, which mainly use muskets to shoot, the difference between women and men Physical differences will be minimized.

An Ning: "The current situation forces the cavalry to be tightly held by all parties. I can only use this method to pull in an additional cavalry unit. No, what I want to say is not this, what I want to say is that now There is no cavalry unit for you to command for the time being, you may need to command the infantry for a while."

Davout: "I have no problem. I am very familiar with infantry tactics, and I am very good at leading a charge."

An Ning nodded, and then said to Kano: "Let Second Lieutenant Davu be the captain of the teaching team with you. His abilities should be sufficient."

"No problem. A few days ago, Rana, the apprentice of the dyeing workshop, was given to him to teach?"

An Ning thought about it, Davu educated Rana, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.Let Lana learn how to run an army and fight a war.

An Ning: "Let's do this."

Kano saluted An Ning: "Understood, I will arrange it now. Lieutenant Davout, come with me."

Davout also saluted An Ning, and then they walked towards the main building of the manor together.

**
On the way to the main building of the manor, Davout asked curiously: "What is the teaching team?"

"It is a demonstration unit established by Your Excellency General to train key non-commissioned officers. Your task is to educate the trousers drawn from the entire army into qualified non-commissioned officers."

Davout: "Your Excellency's army is really composed of trousers?"

"Yes, the man in trousers and the farmer, you will know that you have actually seen their training. He led such a poorly disciplined and poorly trained army to defeat an enemy ten times his own." Kano glanced He glanced at Davout, and was satisfied to see the respectful expression on his face.

Davout: "Really? It's amazing."

Kano: "But this is not going to work, so our task is to turn this mob of trousers and peasants into a regular army."

Davout: "Leave it to me. I will definitely train these trousers hard. However, when I first came here, I thought I would join the Sunshine Knights."

Carnot: "Everyone in the prison so far away from Paris knows the news?"

"The guard of our prison is a guy who pays attention to current affairs. He tells us these things every day. He said that the Sunset Knight is the general, and those who may oppose the National Assembly are gathered and strictly guarded."

Kano: "The situation is similar. In fact, the Sunset Knights are old nobles who admire the military exploits of His Excellency the General. Because putting them into an army full of trousers may cause conflicts, they are gathered separately. Do you understand?"

"I see," Davout nodded thoughtfully, "Knight Yuhui is the general's personal soldier?"

"It's almost like this. Most of these people are the targets of the revolution. The only reason they are here is that they admire the general. I also thought for a long time before I understood why such an army was formed." Kano paused, "This army The use of it is entirely up to Your Excellency the General, and has nothing to do with us. We just need to train those trousers well."

Davout: "Understood! I completely understand!"
