Christmas is just around the corner, and it is fitting that there is a sudden snow in Potsdam the day before Christmas Eve, and the melting winter always makes some people happy, such as children or a few little girls in Sanssouci Palace.
レ& spades; Thoughts & hearts; Road & clubs; 客レ On Christmas Eve, a ball was held in the courts of various countries to celebrate the arrival of the annual festival, and Prussia was no exception.
Early in the morning of the twenty-fourth rì, William was busy, and he was busy choosing the costume for tonight's ball.
He wasn't alone, the entire Sanssouci Palace was busy.
The attendants were busy clearing the snow from all over Sanssouci and setting up the palace where the ball would be held tonight, while William and the others were busy choosing the costumes to wear at the ball and some jewelry to wear.
In William's opinion, it would be good to wear the same Prussian military uniform this year, but this proposal was rejected by the Queen Mother Louise, who thought that William had grown up, and this year was William's tenth year in charge of Prussia.
Louise's opposition was supported by the royal family, not to mention the three daughters of Karina, who had long been dissatisfied with William wearing only his modest military uniform to the ball.
In fact, it is a tradition for William to wear a military uniform to attend a ball, thinking that when Frederick was in power, no matter what kind of occasion he attended, this great dìdū was wearing his simple light blue sè military uniform, and there were many discussions caused by this.
When William first ascended the throne, he wanted to show that he was Frederick's undisputed heir.
Therefore, Frederick's costume is also used to show that he wants to inherit the jīng god of the previous king.
But now, as Wilhelm's rule in Prussia became more and more entrenched, he no longer needed this form to maintain his image.
Originally, on June 4 this year, Louise wanted to hold a grand ball to celebrate William's 10th year on the throne.
This proposal was also approved by Zhèngfǔ, but was rejected by William.
June was the month when William concentrated all his jīng efforts in France, and he didn't want a big event at this time, and instead of spending that money on such pointless things, it was better to add a few hidden spies, which was the real thought in William's heart.
And this year's Christmas ball, William also plans to hold it with a low-key and simple attitude.
But this time Louise didn't agree.
Louise made it clear to William that the Hohenzollern family would be responsible for the holding of the Ball, and that the Ball would be in addition to celebrating Christmas.
It also celebrates the 10th year of William's accession to the throne.
Faced with Louise, who refused to back down at all, William had no choice but to give in.
And after William agreed, on the twentieth day of December, the whole Sanssouci Palace began to liven up.
Except for those attendants who decorated the palace.
Congratulatory gifts from all over Prussia filled Wilhelm's office.
In addition, when the nobles who had just returned to their hometown after attending the meeting of the nobles learned that Louise intended to make the Ball, they asked to see Louise one by one, hoping that Louise would allow them to attend the Ball.
In Louise's mind, the more lively the ball, the better, and when she saw so many nobles asking to participate, she smiled and agreed.
When William was finally presented with the number of people attending the ball, His Majesty looked surprised, for the list of Louise had seven hundred and fifty-two names.
Although in this life I have become accustomed to a grand ball.
But William was tired of the ball, which was attended by too many people.
Something like this xìng prom.
It often takes six or seven hours or more, as in the case of the Santa Ball, which starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 2 a.m.
And those anxious nobles often rush to Sanssouci Palace at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, when William has to meet with some nobles, and he will feel tired to think about it.
But William couldn't refute Louise's things too much, so he had to accept it calmly.
With Lilisa's service, William straightened his tuxedo and turned it around in the mirror a few times "That's it!"
After saying that, William couldn't wait to take off the dress on his body.
Seeing that William had made a choice, Lilisa hummed, and then asked the attendant to take out the dress that William had chosen and take care of it, and those clothes that were not chosen by William could only be put in the warehouse.
"Huh?
Lilisa, what's wrong with you?
” After a while, William realized that there were only two people left in the room, Lilisa and himself, and Lilisa's face was even redder, but she stood there squirming and didn't know what to say.
Hearing William's inquiry, Lilisa raised her head and whispered: "Your Majesty, can you help me choose a dress?"
After saying that, Lilisa's face was even more red like an apple, making people want to take a bite.
Seeing Lilisa's youngest daughter, William smiled dumbly, but he didn't intend to refuse the offer.
Among the girls, if anyone can be obedient to William, then only Lilisa is standing in front of him, at least sometimes Lilisa is in a state of acquiescence to William's small actions Looking at Napoleon in front of him, Creech felt a headache, this victory, Napoleon can be said to be the first hero, but obviously Napoleon's performance has overshadowed Creech's limelight as the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, such a situation is somewhat unacceptable for Creech.
"Napoleon, you did a good job this time, you are the first hero to conquer Lyon, I will definitely report your merits to His Majesty the King, I believe that you will have a better future at that time, I want to congratulate you in advance!"
Although his heart is a little sour, he still has to choose a good thing to say.
Seeing Creech's insincere look, Napoleon's heart was somewhat contemptuous.
As the commander of tens of thousands of troops, he is actually jealous of his talents.

It is the presence of such people that corrupts the foundations of the Kingdom!
"Everywhere, this battle is a victory caused by the command of His Excellency the Marshal, and he is only a pawn of His Excellency the Marshal.
Even if there is a little bit of credit, it is not enough to mention" Napoleon was very humble, his body leaned forward slightly, and seeing Napoleon's attitude, Creech smiled awkwardly on his face.
"Alright, you go out first, I need to get the good news back to Paris as soon as possible.
Remember to restrain the army when you go out."
After a few sentences of explanation, Creech sent Napoleon out.
Napoleon, who had gone out, looked up at the sky, and the dim sky made people's hearts feel a little depressed.
Napoleon frowned, and he secretly gritted his teeth.
Just before the city of Lyon was broken, a thought grew in his mind.
But this idea was forced by Napoleon, although he was very good at counterinsurgency.
But in the second legion, he did not rank highly.
But then a thunderclap flashed through his mind.
In the afternoon, it was the time for Creech to summon the generals of the Second Army for a post-war meeting, and if something suddenly happened in the room where the meeting was held, Napoleon shuddered at the thought of this.
And this thought is more like a devil who is constantly tempting Napoleon.
Non-toxic no husband!
Napoleon clenched his hands, and now there was an opportunity in front of him to save him a few years of struggle if all went well.
Once successful, he will become one of the top personalities in France!
Noon on the same day.
Napoleon returned to the garrison of the 1st Brigade and then gathered several of his henchmen for secret talks, among which the artillery commander of the 1st Brigade was prominently listed.
In the afternoon, the top brass of the counterinsurgency officially convened a post-war meeting in a villa in the city of Lyon, which was attended by all the generals of the Second Army Corps and above.
Just after Creech had made a few encouraging words, Napoleon, who was sitting at the bottom, hurriedly left the room on the pretext that he was not feeling well.
Seeing Napoleon get up and leave the table, Creech and the other generals did not care, although everyone had previously regarded Napoleon as a hope to defeat Lyon, but now, Lyon has been defeated.
What everyone needs to discuss is the post-war distribution of benefits, and Napoleon's absence at this time is just the right time for everyone to divide the benefits.
Presumably, after the interests are divided, even if Napoleon has a great opinion, it is estimated that he can only hold back.
Immediately after Napoleon left the room, he walked out into a street outside the villa, on which a dozen carriages appeared.
"I've already arranged it inside, and after the carriage goes in, I'll move those things to the basement of the house for me immediately, and I'll get out as soon as possible after I finish moving!"
"No!"
A figure in a hat made a promise, and drove the carriages to the villa just now.
After giving the order, Napoleon did not go far from the place, he walked to an attic diagonally opposite the villa and raised the telescope he carried with him.
In less than an hour, a dozen carriages that had just entered the villa slipped out again, and seeing this, Napoleon relieved himself: "Signal, let's go!"
With that, Napoleon closed his eyes "Boom!
Rumble!!!
” There was a loud explosion, and he saw that the villa where Creech held the post-war meeting had been bombed into ruins, and when he heard the sound, Napoleon quickly opened his eyes, and when he saw that the villa had become ruins, his heart suddenly jumped wildly, and the real test was coming.
"Your Excellency!
Someone!
Dig up the ruins for me!
The generals are inside!
” Just when the soldiers who arrived outside the villa were shocked by what they saw, an officer reacted quickly, and he immediately ordered all the soldiers to search the ruins of the villa.
Just as the officer was about to send someone back to contact more troops, Napoleon hurried here.
"What's going on?
How did you make such a loud noise!
” Napoleon first reprimanded the officer, and when he saw the rank on Napoleon's shoulder, the officer seemed to have found the backbone "Your Excellency General, the command headquarters collapsed for some reason, but the generals are all inside, what should I do now?"
Look at the panicked officer.
Napoleon rebuked "Panic, go and give an order, ordering the army in the city to immediately start martial law.
With such a loud noise and such a strong smell of gunsmoke, it is obvious that someone deliberately planted explosives, and immediately notify all officers above the rank of major to come and see me!

” After speaking, Napoleon frowned and looked at the ruins transformed from the villa, but his heart was happy, and in order to prevent accidents, Napoleon ordered again: "This was taken over by the 1st Brigade.
In addition, let the officers above the major come here, and I will wait here!
” After the 1st Brigade took over the protection of the villa, Napoleon immediately mobilized his cronies to excavate the ruins of the villa.
During the excavation, Napoleon received reports from his men that he had found two seriously wounded but not dead generals.
"Stupid, the two generals have been seriously wounded, and it would be terrible if they were hit by some stone at this time.
Get the generals out now!
” No one left.
Napoleon said: "You must carry out rescue work as soon as possible, Your Excellency the Marshal will be buried underneath, you must be cautious at this time, and you must rescue Your Excellency the Marshal safely!
Find Your Excellency the Marshal and report to me in time, pay attention to some broken stones!
” As he spoke, Napoleon pretended to bend down and pick up a piece of broken stone at his feet and gestured with his hand "It's these broken stones, don't look small, but they will kill people.
The stones must not be allowed to touch the heads of the generals!
” Although Napoleon did not say much, but as his henchmen.
This officer, naturally, is not very stupid either.
Napoleon said three sentences, and all three sentences mentioned stones, and the scene was covered with broken stones because of the explosion, and Napoleon did not mean that the soldiers should really pay attention to the stones, but that they should be instructed to use local materials.
What can a stone do?
Stones can kill!
If you find those generals, don't hesitate, shoot me to death for my uncle!
This is the meaning of Napoleon's words.
After understanding the meaning of the words, the group of soldiers no longer had any scruples, only to see that the pitchforks and hoes that they had turned out of nowhere kept turning over the ruins.
Suddenly, another man appeared from the ruins, and the soldiers faithfully carried out Napoleon's order, only to see that they seemed to be digging stones, but taking advantage of the angle that others could not see, they picked up a stone and smashed it on the man's head.
The final result was gratifying, more than thirty corpses were found in this ruin, nearly half of them were attendants, and the rest were undoubtedly generals.
Napoleon, having ordered the officers to identify the body, said in front of all the officers: "Originally, I was also going to be with the generals this afternoon, but because my men temporarily reported to me that they had found traces of the remnants of the rebels in the city, I got the order of His Excellency the Marshal and hurried out, but who knew that I was still a step late, I didn't expect those rebels to target the generals Woo woo" As he spoke, Napoleon's voice became a whimper, and the sadness seemed to be contagious, and in an instant before the ruins, the officers of the French army were seen crying.
Napoleon looked quietly at the officers under the cover of his arm, and when he saw that the situation was developing as he expected, he was reassured.
"What if the generals are dead?
Now that so many troops are in Lyon, who should be in charge of the following affairs!
” "That's right, the document of this success hasn't been sent out yet, what should I do with a lot of things in the future!"
When he heard this kind of chatter in the crowd, Napoleon's heart was overjoyed, and he knew that the trust he had arranged before was beginning to cooperate.
Just after the atmosphere was stirred up, suddenly an officer pointed at Napoleon and shouted: "Isn't His Excellency Napoleon still here?
Now that he's the only general here, I think we'd better listen to him!
” The officers who said this seemed to have found their hearts, and they all looked at Napoleon, and as the man said, the army was a very hierarchical place, and at this moment, no officer dared to challenge the majesty of a general.
"Well, this, I'm very flustered right now, so let's watch and do it."
"No, no, you are a general, we will all listen to you, Your Excellency Napoleon, you will give orders!"
"Yes, yes, now that you have the highest military rank, we will listen to you!"
First one or two, and then most of the officers began to persuade Napoleon to come, and in this case, Napoleon, who was embarrassed, had to temporarily take over the command of the scene.
"Since you have unanimously elected you, then until His Majesty the King sends someone to take over, Lyon will be in charge of me for the time being, I order" As he spoke, Napoleon puffed up his chest, and when he heard that he was about to give an order, the officers present also stood upright, and seeing that the attitude of the officers was very upright, Napoleon's heart was still relatively happy.
"The ruins here have been taken over by the 1st Brigade, and the whole city is now under martial law, and the men and men of the 6th, 7th, 9th, 13th, 14th, and 16th Infantry Regiments have closed the four gates, and it is strictly forbidden to enter or leave without my warrant.
All the rest of the army was immediately mobilized, the whole city was searched, and the remnants of the rebels were immediately arrested, but they resisted and immediately executed!
” Napoleon skillfully gave the order, and after the order was given, except for the officers of his 1st Brigade, the officers of the other units went to carry out their tasks according to Napoleon's orders.
"Immediately prepare a report document to report to Paris the process of our army's counterinsurgency, which does not require any modifications, understand?
What I need is reality!
” "Yes, Your Excellency!"
