On Christmas Day in 1798, Paris was very lively, because it was reported that Napoleon, the hero in the hearts of the people, was leading his expeditionary force in Egypt, and both the Egyptians and the Turks were defeated by him. Most of Egypt is now occupied by the French Legion, and even the capital, Cairo, is under the control of Napoleon's army. Almost all the people believed that their hero would bring them another great victory, and Egypt would soon become a French colony. The previous destruction of the Mediterranean Fleet seemed insignificant in the face of this victory.

But what they don't know is that their hero and his army are now at the end of their battles. Due to the failure of the navy, they were unable to get supplies, and the lost soldiers could not be replenished. Although they had conquered the whole of Egypt, in their current state, under the attack of the Egyptian rebel army Jezar and the Turkish army regardless of casualties, the French army The defense line is precarious and may be breached at any time. Due to the lack of medicines, a large number of soldiers who were injured could not receive good treatment, which greatly increased the attrition of troops. The plague from Cairo to Alexandria claimed the lives of 2,000 soldiers. Now Napoleon has less than 20,000 troops in his hands, and his opponent is several times his.

In order to change this declining trend, Napoleon concentrated his troops and launched an expedition to Syria in January 1799. Unfortunately, due to the lack of food, the provisions of the French army were not enough for themselves, and there was not enough water, or even Enough manpower to **** prisoners of war back to Egypt. At the same time, Turkey reinforced the front line with 35,000 people, which made the situation of the French army worse, and finally had to retreat to Egypt in May. The road to Damascus was also completely closed to Napoleon from this moment on.

In the last August, Napoleon secretly left Egypt, and the little troops he left in Egypt finally chose to surrender. But it was also an important turning point in Napoleon's life. Back in Paris, what awaits him is a stage where it is easier for him to display his talents.

Travel back to Christmas Eve 1798. Xiao Jie's family prepared a very rich dinner tonight. Because of Napoleon's great victory in the war against Italy, the officers and soldiers who participated in this battle have received great benefits. It can be said that the whole of northern Italy is planned to be looted by them. A large number of gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics were brought back to France by them, with a total value of more than hundreds of millions of francs. As the commander of the legion, Napoleon got millions of francs, and Joseph, as the quartermaster of the legion, also got millions of francs by using his power.

After the battle, Joseph left the army. Back in Paris, he bought a luxurious villa not far from Napoleon's residence on the Champs Elysees, hired a few servants, and lived a life of nouveau riche. At that time, almost all the upper echelons of France regarded the Bonaparte family as upstarts in politics and the military.

During Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, Joseph chose to stay in Paris as a businessman, so the failure of this expedition did not cause him any loss. On the contrary, during this period of time, he also made several big deals and made a lot of money.

After dinner, Xiao Jie did not go to the street to play like other children, but walked into Joseph's study. He plans to go to Brienne Military Academy next year. But before that, he had to get Joseph's support, otherwise he couldn't do anything.

After entering, I found Joseph was flipping through the ledger. So Xiao Jie said, "Dad, can I talk to you about something?"

Hearing this, Joseph put down the ledger in his hand, asked Xiao Jie to write next to him, and then said: "My dear Andresi, what do you want to say to me?" He liked this son very much, although he I seldom been at home for two years, but the relationship between father and son is still very good.

"That's right, Dad. I'm going to school next year."

"That's all, no problem! Which school do you want to go to? For now, I can send you to any school in France as long as you like."

"Really? That would be wonderful. I want to go to Brienne."

Silent, Joseph did not expect that his son was going to that school. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Can you tell me why you chose to go to that school? Don't tell me that you adore your uncle and want to be a great general like him. What kind of ghost are you? Don't I already know?"

Xiao Jie knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he said: "Father, everyone knows that Aunt Josephine is not pregnant, don't ask me how I know, this is already common in the whole family and even in the upper class of France. Got it, so who do you think will be the next heir of the family?"

"Of course it's me. I'm the eldest son of the Bonaparte family." Joseph said with certainty.

"Really? But have you ever thought about it? As the power of the family grows, I am afraid that all uncles and aunts will fight for the right of inheritance. Especially Uncle Louis and Uncle Lucien, do you think they will willingly give up the fight for the right of inheritance Besides, everyone knows that Aunt Josephine has some problems in her personal life. If Uncle Napoleon divorces her and remarries, are you sure that you will get the inheritance?

After listening to Xiao Jie's words, Joseph knew that what he said was the truth, and his other two younger brothers were indeed not easy-going.

He knew that his son was very smart, and other children at this age only knew how to play, but he could already think of these problems.

"That's why I went to the Brienne Military Academy. As we all know, my uncle's favorite person in the family is me, and he also graduated from that school. If I study there, he will definitely like him even more. My, this is a very big bargaining chip for us to fight for the right of inheritance in the future. The matter of Aunt Josephine is even simpler. As long as we give her some warnings, I believe she will restrain herself in order to enjoy the glory and wealth. Then it is very likely that Uncle Napoleon will not divorce her. Then, when the time comes, you will be the eldest son of the family, and I will be the eldest grandson of the family, so who can compete with us for the inheritance right?"

Joseph thought for a while, and felt that this method was feasible, so he said: "Well, I agree with you to go to the Brienne Military Academy, but you have to be mentally prepared, life in the military academy is very hard."

And Xiao Jie patted his chest to ensure that he would do it.

Sure enough, Xiao Jie's decision was greatly appreciated by Napoleon who was on the front line in Egypt, and he even declared publicly that Andresi was his ideal successor.

Only Xiao Jie's mother and grandmother objected, but under the insistence of Xiao Jie and Joseph, they finally had to compromise.

So in May 1799, after completing the relevant procedures, Xiao Jie, accompanied by Joseph, went to Brienne Military Academy to report. He will study there for six years, but his plan is to finish all the courses within four years and pass the assessment to go to the Royal Military Academy in Paris in advance.
