Napoléon ~Napoleon's encounter with Marshal Ney (English) HD

Napoleon's encounter with Marshal Ney From the Napoléon mini series in english.

On February 26, 1815, Napoleon managed to sneak past his guards, escape from Elba, slip past interception by a British ship, and return to France. Immediately, people and troops began to rally to the returned Great Emperor.

Marshal Ney joined Napoleon with 6,000 men. Five days later, after proceeding through the countryside promising constitutional reform and direct elections to an assembly, to the acclaim of gathered crowds the Emperor triumphantly entered the capital, whence Louis XVIII had recently fled.

Funny ending to Ney after Waterloo. He was charged for treason by the new French government, but the village Ney came from was now Prussian territory. So his lawyer tried to argue in the court that Ney was really a mercenary for Napoleon, which could have worked. But Ney destroyed his lawyers argument by claiming to the court that he was born french and will die french

In my eyes this is Napoleons greatest victory, winning the hearts of his men

Over 5, 000 men on both sides were hugged that day. Truly a historic battle.

"From Napoleon to Louis XVIII: my dear brother, it is not necessary to send me more troops, I already have enough of them!"
Parisine joke.

Even though this is from TV, it's incredible to think this event actually happened. Only Napoleon could be exiled and win back his throne without bloodshed and through charisma and strength of personality alone.

'Soldiers of the 5th of the Line.' this is an important detail by adressing the specific regiment they belong to he's telling the men he knows them in an indirect way. He's not some distant leader marching troops on a map but who knows nothing about them directly. He knows all the units personally.

This is really amazing... when they started cheering it gave me chills

Poles may fight for only one France, Napoleon's France

I Love How Napoleon is So Goddamn Badass

Funfact: It is said that after Napoleons final loss (and the reinstallement of the bourbons) Ney gave the command to his own execution.

Napoleon's sarcophagus is beautiful. A grateful monument for a great man.

Life is a vast experience...

This scene is SO MUCH MORE, than in depicted in the new movie I just watched an hour ago. For me this series will be the goto forever.

[nodinitiative]

If I was Napoleon, I would be upset at the amount of bullets wasted by the soldiers firing up into the air.

[blablabla]

amazing... when they started cheering it gave me chills.

[hatedwayne]

I would follow this man wherever he might lead me.

Winning a battle with charisma alone :)
