(Chapter to)

On the outskirts of a small city called Senlis in the north of Paris, a team of hundreds of people is hiding in the woods, and everyone is downcast. "Your Majesty, what shall we do next?" Marmont asked. This group of people is Louis XVIII who escaped from Paris and the senior generals of the coalition forces.

"What else can we do? We can only leave France. If we are caught by them, we will definitely die." Louis XVIII said with some fear. He was very afraid of being caught by Xiao Jie's army, afraid that Xiao Jie would treat him like the National Convention during the Great Revolution treated his brother Louis XVI, so he couldn't wait to leave France.

"Which country shall we go to? Holland? England? Or Prussia?" asked Talleyrand.

"At that time, I went to England. Among European countries, only England has good relations with our Bourbon royal family, and we can only seek British asylum." Louis XVIII replied very simply.

"Your Majesty, I think Andrési and the others will definitely think that we will go to England, so their guards on the west coast must be much tighter, and we may be discovered by them if we go." Talleyrand persuaded .

"Then what should we do?" Louis XVIII panicked.

"I think we should go to Prussia first, and then we can take a boat from Prussia to England. In that case, the relative risk is much smaller." Talleyrand said his suggestion.

"Oh, well, that's it." Louis XVIII had no idea at all.

"Wait a minute, we just went to the city to have a look. There are Iberian cavalry everywhere. If there are so many of us together, the target is too big, and it will be easy to be discovered by them. Therefore, I suggest that we disperse our actions and carry out certain actions. masquerade," Bagration said suddenly.

"Alright then." Louis and the others obeyed Bagration's arrangement. Hundreds of people were divided into dozens of teams, large and small, leaving from multiple directions, and agreed to meet in Duisburg after leaving France.

On November 15, after the fighting in Paris, Xiao Jie entered Paris under the protection of guards. At this time, Paris looked very dilapidated. Because of the devastation of the war, 30% of the city had been turned into ruins. On the way to the palace, Xiao Jie was very emotional. After so many years of hard work, he finally returned to Paris and came back a victor. After entering the palace, Xiao Jie immediately sent someone to find Cambaceres, Davout and others. The war was over, and the reconstruction work in Paris had to start immediately.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Andresi, you have finally defeated your opponent and won the final victory." This was the first sentence that Cambaceres said to Xiao Jie when he saw Xiao Jie going too far.

"Thanks to everyone's help, I have the opportunity to stand here today." Xiao Jie said modestly.

"Marshal Davout, and all the marshals and generals, thank you for helping me in the war." Xiao Jie thanked them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Jie explained the purpose of calling them here. Now northern France has just been occupied, and the situation is still relatively chaotic. In terms of military affairs, there are the 88th Army, the Iberian 1st Army, and the Cavalry Army, so there will be no major problems. In terms of government affairs, the support of the elders of these empires is needed. Under Xiao Jie's strong request, Campaceres agreed to serve as the prime minister of the provisional government, responsible for the government affairs of France and the reconstruction of Paris. In order to express his trust in him, Xiao Jie promised that this term's interim cabinet could allow Cambaceres to form a cabinet by himself. To be honest, Campaceres doesn't have any outstanding talents, but he is very down-to-earth and hardworking, and he is quite loyal to Xiao Jie. It is definitely the best to let him be the prime minister now. At the same time, Davout was appointed interim Minister of War, responsible for the formation of the new army and the stability of France. Of course, Xiao Jie's other troops, Davout, have no authority to command them.

The next day, the interim cabinet began to function officially. Campaceres submitted a list of cabinet members, most of whom were cabinet officials from Napoleon's reign. Xiao Jie agreed to all of Cambaceres' requests. Reconstruction of Paris also began. But then there was a problem, because when Louis XVIII fled, he emptied the treasury, and now the Minister of Finance can't get a franc out. In fact, as early as Napoleon's reign, the French treasury was almost exhausted. After the restoration of Louis XVIII, an indemnity treaty was signed, so the treasury was emptied. The treasury has no money, of course Xiao Jie can only ask Xiao Jie to find a way. And Xiao Jie can only ask Iberia for help, asking Iberia to provide financial support for the reconstruction of Paris. However, although Iberia has developed rapidly in the past few years, there are still a lot of places that need money, and at the same time, it has to support a huge army, and the new warships of the navy also need continuous investment, so they can't spend much at all. Money comes. No way, Xiao Jie had to pay for it himself. Fortunately, the Andresi Group has grown quite large now, becoming the No. 1 group in Iberia, with total assets reaching 1.5 billion francs. And Xiao Jie himself has hundreds of millions of private money. However, Xiao Jie has always kept a clear line between work and private interests. At the request of the government, he finally agreed to "borrow" 300 million yuan to the national treasury, and pay him back after the tax revenue comes. The Minister of Finance immediately agreed to Xiao Jie's proposal, and issued an IOU without hesitation. After the Minister of Finance left, Xiao Jie felt very heartbroken. That's 300 million! How many battleships must be built! Besides, he also guessed what the Minister of Finance was thinking at the time: Anyway, the country is yours, so just write the commandment, and I don’t have to pay it back anyway.

"Your Highness Andresi, I have something very important for you today." On November 19th, Cambaceres found Xiao Jie and said to him seriously.

Seeing the stern look of Cambaceres, Xiao Jie thought that he had made some mistake, so he quickly replied: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"That's right. Now that the whole of France is under your rule, I think it's time for you to order the restoration of the country and proclaim yourself emperor." Combaceres stared at Xiao Jie closely and said, seeing him straight in his heart hair.

"Cough, cough. Isn't it a little early?" Xiao Jie asked, he didn't expect that it would be this matter that Camba Seresi came to him.

"Your Highness, if you don't be crowned emperor, His Royal Highness Francois and other members of the Bonaparte family in Vienna are likely to make use of His Majesty Napoleon's will to make a fuss. After all, His Majesty Napoleon's It means that His Royal Highness the 'King of Rome' will succeed you, you must make an early plan!" Cambaceres said anxiously.

Hearing this, Xiao Jie's expression became very gloomy. He has made so much effort to achieve the situation he is today. Of course he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others. "How long will it take for the reconstruction work in Paris to end?" Xiao Jie asked suddenly.

"This? It's about 4 months away." Cambacérez replied.

"No, the progress must be accelerated. It must be completed within two months." Xiao Jie said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, this may be a bit difficult. We are short of manpower and materials. Two months may not be enough." Cambaceres said with a bitter face.

"The day Paris is rebuilt is the day I will be crowned, so the reconstruction work must be accelerated. If there is no manpower, I can send troops to help. If there is no material, I can demolish all the city walls." Xiao Jie replied.

"What? If the city wall is demolished, what about the defense forces in Paris?" Campaceres did not expect that Xiao Jie would have such a crazy idea.

"The role of the city wall in the current war is not great. Under the bombardment of large-caliber artillery, the city wall will not play much role at all. It is better to demolish it, so as not to restrict the development of the city." Xiao Jay explained.

"That's fine. In this case, the reconstruction work should be completed within two months." Cambacérez compromised.

"That's how it is. Tomorrow, I will announce to France and Iberia in the form of a government announcement. Two months later, I will succeed to the throne in Paris and rebuild the French Empire. In addition, I will also issue this announcement to other countries," Xiao Jie said.

Combaceres nodded in agreement. In this kind of matter, the only way to do it first is to act first.

After Compaceres left, Xiao Jie found Compini. "Fate is so strange. We were in a hostile position before, but now you have become my subject." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"There is nothing strange about this. I only pledge my allegiance to the strong. His Majesty Napoleon used to be a strong man, so I pledge my allegiance to him. Now that you are a strong man, I will naturally pledge my allegiance to you." Campbell said faintly Said.

Without getting too entangled in this issue, Xiao Jie said: "I came to you today because I have a very important task for you to complete~lightnovelpub.net~Please tell me, Your Highness, I will try my best to do it ’” Company replied.

"I want you to represent the French Empire on behalf of the other countries of the Anti-French Alliance except Britain, to show them our goodwill, to return Europe to peace, and to invite their monarchs to attend my coronation in two months .Can it be completed?" Xiao Jie asked.

"It's hard, but I'll try my best," Compini replied. The expression is still so calm.

Xiao Jie nodded, he did not expect the monarchs of other countries to attend his coronation ceremony and he hoped to end the confrontation with them, the reason why he did this was simply to show weakness to them.

On November 29, the Provisional Government of the French Empire issued a notice to the whole of Europe. Two months later, on January 20, 1814, His Royal Highness Prince Andresi of France will be crowned emperor in Paris to rebuild the French Empire.

After this announcement was issued, it immediately caused an earthquake-like sensation in the European continent. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in to .QDAN., more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
