In fact, before the war began, Napoleon arrived at Danze Port, and when he convened a meeting of the great army, the emperor's stepson, the Italian Governor, Prince Eugen, made a constructive suggestion at the military meeting: to abolish the feudal serfdom on the land occupied by the French army, confiscate the land of fugitive nobles, and distribute the peasants who were willing to help the French army for free.

Obviously, this was a suggestion that Desai incited behind the scenes, but it was eventually rejected by the emperor.

Because Napoleon insisted that his personal friendship with the "Alexander brothers" was still there. As long as he successfully encircled and annihilated the main force of the 200,000 Russian troops, the Tsar had to bow down and go to the army camp in person to take the initiative to seek peace, and then recognize the Napoleon Empire's first and second dominance in Europe. If a French-style violent revolution was incited in Russia, it would inevitably lead to a complete break between Russia and France, reaching a situation of unstoppable death, and making peace absent.

Since Napoleon was unhappy, Desai was brave enough to do it. He did not have the concerns and fantasies of Napoleon. As for the revolutionary pilot area he chose, it was a small Baltic country that believed in the Lutheran sect, which originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Polish Federation, rather than the territory of the Eastern Slavs, which was concentrated in the traditional Orthodox Church.

Based on human nature, even if the serfs were released and the land was distributed free of charge, Desai never naively believed that the Lithuanians and Latvians would be united with the Poles and would assist the Poles in resisting the Russian army without hesitation.

Desai's real purpose is nothing more than using the land issue to create a discordant opposition between the local people and the fugitive nobles, so as to win themselves an extremely valuable buffer time so as to free up hands to deal with the Russians.

Once the fugitive nobles make a comeback with the support of the Russian army, they will inevitably not recognize the fait accompli of the land revolution, and will naturally confiscate the farmlands of the peasants and derogate them again to serfs with no human freedom.

In this way, the conflict between the two sides eventually broke out due to intensification.

Desai knows that violence and fear are the best means to mobilize the lower class people. The fundamental essence of this "land revolution" in a foreign country is a large-scale social mobilization campaign using propaganda, violence and fear, and artificially creating a "vote letter" of peasants and nobles (Russian authorities) who hate each other and fight each other.

As for the confiscation and redistribution of wealth and land, it was just to realize this "vote letter" movement, that is, to successfully mobilize a large number of farmers and achieve victory in the political and military struggle, and the poisonous bait was set up in the early stage.

However, in actual operation, unexpected situations occurred. Most of the peasants who had turned over as masters and were allocated to the land were hesitant, unwilling to openly oppose the nobles, oppose the Russians, and did not actively join the ranks of the Polish liberators. Although these devout Christians had long lived in very poor lives, they were still accustomed to the traditional order.

Their traditional and conservative attitude has encountered great difficulties and obstacles in the work of the "Committee on Agriculture". In order to further promote the "speed of revolution", Desai immediately acquiesced, which should be a means of indulging the Jacobin radicals.

And this method is killing!

Soon, the leftist radicals who mastered the "Committee of Agriculture" followed the example of Paris in 1793 and put forward an extremely loud slogan:

"Whoever is not on our side is our enemy."

Either support or oppose; either killing someone or being killed, there is no third way to go.

As for the massacre, not only the Russians, reactionary nobles, but also other uncooperative peasants.

After taking the initiative or passively participating in these cruel events, the farmers had no choice but to find that they could no longer wash away the blood from their hands, and thus had to embark on the road of resignation to the Polish king. It was a cruel series of massacres that completely confronted the social relations in the occupied areas and no one could stay out of the matter.

So in this way, Desai's goal was achieved!

...

In September, this "land revolution storm" quickly swept across northern central Lithuania and southern Latvia under Desai. While more than 2 million serfs benefited from it, tens of thousands of "reactionary forces" died at the edge of their compatriots. During this period, there were very few Russians and traditional nobles who were massacred, and most of them were feudal remnants who were unwilling to cooperate with the "Committee of Agriculture".

In order to continue to protect the results of the revolution and investigate the hostile forces in the jurisdiction, about 100,000 people voluntarily joined the "Committee on Agriculture" and organized the villagers' self-defense force. They held simple weapons such as spears and big swords and received military training by Polish instructors three times a week.

Not long after, nearly 20,000 self-defense team members who performed well in military training and struggle against the enemy and were loyal to the Polish king left the direct jurisdiction of the "Committee on Agriculture" and were concentrated into the newly established "Lithuanian ** Army" and were under the command of General Barbanegel. The weapons and equipment were also greatly improved, but they were all old flintlock rifles after the Baltic Navy changed their clothes.

The land revolution in full swing soon affected the rich southern Lithuania. A few serfs incited by the "Committee of Agriculture" refused to pay taxes to land owners and refused to provide free labor. Serf riots broke out in two villages near the central region.

Although the number of participants and the scale was not large, the bloody methods of the mob made the "Lithuanian Seven-man Committee" appointed by Napoleon frightened. At first, these Lithuanian nobles, together with the French deputy governor appointed by the emperor, sent envoys to Xiorii and filed a solemn protest against the Marshal Desai who was in charge of the city, demanding that he immediately stop the damn violent revolution.

However, the three special envoys sent by the nobles in southern Lithuania were ambushed on the way and died untimely. Of course, the representative of Desai in Werner claimed that all this was the despicable behavior of the Russian spy lurking in the city, and anyone with a discerning eye knew it.

Just one day later, the seven-member committee strongly opposed Desai and resisted the merger of Poland, and were assassinated at home. Everyone believed that it was the silent warning of the Polish king to the southern nobles. Because these noble members tried to contact Marshal Macdonald at the city of Riga and unanimously fought against the arrogant Andrew Desai.

In fact, at the beginning of the Agrarian Revolution, Marshal Macdonald tried his best to oppose it, but eventually ended in vain.

Due to the lack of effective restraint of Napoleon, the Polish king has become arbitrary. When Marshal MacDonald expressed his dissatisfaction, Desai immediately ordered the Baltic Riga squadron to withdraw from the waters near the Riga Fortress, causing the 10th Legion, which was not covered by the navy, to suffer heavy losses in the battle against Riga. Although in early September, MacDonald's 10th Legion successfully occupied the peripheral positions of Riga Fortress, the Prussian Legion, with less than 30,000 people, was reduced by as much as 30% in the past 20 days.

As a last resort, MacDonald rushed to Sioria to seek compromise and support with Desai, and promised that as long as Desai regained the logistics support and the cover of the naval fleet, he and his 10th Corps would not interfere with the freedom of movement of the Polish army.

Those who also knew the current affairs also included the French deputy governor-general sent by Napoleon to Werner. In mid-September, after a secret conversation with Desay's plenipotentiary Colonel Penduath, the French deputy governor-general announced to the public that he needed to return to France for recuperation because he was in poor health. Before Napoleon issued an edict in Moscow, he hurriedly left this terrifying place.

Before leaving, the deputy governor received a large amount of money from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then handed over the administration of southern Lithuania to General Reedes, who was loyal to Desay. On the same day, a Polish army entered Werner and peacefully took over the city's defense.

Faced with the aggressive momentum of the Polish king, the southern nobles reached an agreement. They first visited General Reedes and asked the new governor to send troops to escort the noble representatives to Sioria to meet the Kingdom of Poland, expressing their willingness to submit to His Majesty Desai, let Lithuania return to the banner of the Polish Federation, and unconditionally release serfs, fully accepting the Polish-style land redemption policy...

On September 15, as the "Seven-man Committee" represented the nobles in southern Lithuania officially surrendered to the Desay, more than 3 million people on more than 80,000 square kilometers of land in the entire Lithuania and southern Latvia were re-inserted into the Polish federal system.

Of course, Desai's private action was not formally approved or secretly acquiesced by Napoleon. Due to the existence of laws of the suzerain state (French Empire) and the vassal state (Polish Federation), it should not be recognized.

But as soon as the news came out, the British Parliament and the Downing Street Cabinet first jumped out to express their support, and Sir William Robert, a former British business agency in Warsaw, was appointed as the plenipotentiary ambassador to the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. In a nutshell, the ambassadors of Sweden, Denmark, Catalonia and other countries in Warsaw also issued statements, officially recognizing Lithuania's annexation to the Kingdom of Poland.

As for Prussia and Austria were silent about this;

However, in Paris, the French capital, the emperor's guardian cabinet was in chaos, and some people whispered loudly, insisting that Desay had betrayed France and should immediately send troops to conquer, forcing the Polish king to expel the British minister and give up his ambition to annex Lithuania.

Soon, some people immediately questioned the sinister intentions of the siege. At present, Desai has firmly controlled the entire territory of Poland and Lithuania, and can cut off the logistics supply line of Napoleon's army at any time. If Poland is pushed to the side of Britain, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Not only that, the Spanish battlefield also needs the support of Desay. In August, after defeating Marshal Marmon's 40,000 French troops with a few attacks in the Battle of Salamanca, Wellington led his British-Portugal coalition into the southwestern suburbs less than 15 kilometers away from Madrid. If General Delney of the United Kingdom of Catalonia had not been sent in time to intervene, successfully defended Madrid, and expelled the British Expeditionary Force to Madrid 100 kilometers, the battle situation in the entire Iberian Peninsula would be on the verge of collapse.
