Funny thing: it IS a work of fiction. In reality, things didn't happen like that at all. Starting his return, Bonaparte had won over many soldiers with a simple tool: money. Then, at Laffrey, he had around 1200 peasants in front of him; if the opposing soldiers started to shoot, the peasants would take the bullets, not Bonaparte.

[@gregoryborton6598]

@@MelerionTheFirst It wasn't so much charisma, as much as everyone then serving the obviously castrated bourbon restoration was shitting themselves at the idea of a mass revolution in favour of napoleon by the populace, who loved him for his land and legal reforms (which where being overturned by the king). They weighed their options and probably thought serving in his inner circle was a much better option to their head on a pike from an angry populace. They where also keenly aware that the common solider loved Napoleon for again, his victories, military reforms (Napoleonic France was one of the first armies to introduce a meritocracy in their officer class) and again his land reforms which favored veterans. It definitely was charisma in terms of how he projected his public image, but I think by this point privately many in his inner circle had dubious loyalties to say the least, with the possible exception of Ney, and where their more to save their own power and social position than out of any personal loyalty to Napoleon.

[@hypersp3ce596]

That general is actually Marshal Michel Ney.

[@wellesmorgado4797]

@Bender B. Rodrigues Well, we can't completely blame Ney. Napoleon was very absent that day and Ney was only the bravest of the brave, not the smartest of the smart. On the other side Wellington was partout. Always present and showing himself when needed. That contrast in leadership on that day made a lot of difference. And the arrival of the Germans too. Besides, very few of the Corsican's commanders were executed after the 100 days. Ney was. (edit) During his trial, his lawyer tried to save him by declaring that he was now Prussian (his hometown had become German at the time) but Ney interrupted him by saying: "Je suis Français et je resterais Français!" A truly brave man.

[@theaerotrooper]

@@wellesmorgado4797 If I were to offer my own view of the situation, it seems as though Napoleon had given up after the harsh rains during the night of 17th June 1815 before the grand Battle of Waterloo. When on the 16th Michel Ney failed to stop Wellington's forces from regrouping at Qatre Bras, I recall reading in Bernard Cornwell's historical book Waterloo that Napoleon lost his temper at the failure to overrun the coalition and told Ney, "With this, you've lost France!"

[@wellesmorgado4797]

@@theaerotrooper Yes, it was probably a very big strategical blunder failing to prevent the regrouping. But it also might be, in part, a blame deflecting technique.

Easily the most dramatic moment of the journey came the following day a few hundred yards south of the town of Laffrey, where Napoleon encountered a battalion of the 5th Line in a narrow area between two wooded hills on what is today called La Prairie de la Rencontre. According to Bonapartist legend, Napoleon, standing before them well within musket range, with only his far smaller number of Imperial Guardsmen protecting him, threw back his iconic grey overcoat and pointed to his breast, asking if they wanted to fire on their Emperor. In testament to the continuing power of his charisma, the troops threw down their muskets and mobbed him.118 Napoleon had previously been informed by two officers of the pro-Bonapartist attitudes of the demi-brigade, but a single shot from a royalist officer could have brought about a very different outcome. Savary, who wasn’t present, told a slightly less heroic version, in which Napoleon’s conversational style and habit of question-asking saved the day. The Emperor approached; the battalion kept a profound silence. The officer who was in command ordered them to aim their muskets: he was obeyed; if he had ordered Fire we cannot say what would have happened. The Emperor didn’t give him time: he talked to the soldiers and asked them as usual: ‘Well! How are you doing in the 5th?’ The soldiers answered ‘Very well, Sire.’ Then the Emperor said: ‘I’ve come back to see you; do some of you want to kill me?’ The soldiers shouted ‘Oh! That, no!’ Then the Emperor reviewed them as usual and thus took possession of the 5th Regiment. The head of the battalion looked unhappy.119 When Napoleon himself told the story he said he had adopted a jovial, old-comrade attitude towards the troops: ‘I went forward and held out my hand to a soldier, saying, “What, you old rascal, were you about to fire on your Emperor?” “Look here,” he answered, showing me that his musket was not loaded.’120 He also put the success down to having his veterans with him: ‘It was the bearskin helmets of my Guards which did the business. They called to memory my glorious days.’121 Whether Napoleon had been declamatory or conversational at that tense moment, he showed great nerve. Laffrey also represented a watershed, because for the first time regular soldiers, rather than peasants or National Guardsmen, had come over to his side. (Napoleon by Andrew Roberts)

Essa cena aconteceu exatamente assim. Luís XVIII cometeu a burrice de mandar o Exército Francês capturar/matar Napoleão que retornava do primeiro exílio, justamente o grupo armado que mais adorava o antigo imperador. E assim ele entrou sem resistência em Paris e iniciou o Governo dos Cem Dias, tentando um acordo com as potências europeias para reconhecer a restauração do Império. Mas os líderes do Velho Continente formaram a aliança que derrubou definitivamente Napoleão em Waterloo, após vários confrontos menores.

[@amare1cro]

100 days were interesting and added to the legend of Napoleon, how he returned and took the hearts of the entire army once again. But the ending was inglorious, at Waterloo and then dying like some refugdeee at St Helen. I wonder how well he was guarded, and why nobody offered to rescue him. Some of the American privateers for example, we know that the US fought against the Brits also. Napoleons return for 100 days was a great gamble but not a dumbass move. He sensed the coalition falling apart. Emperor Alexander of Russia was having none of his alkies bs

I read that there were rumors that some in the coalition wanted to relocate him from Elba to somewhere more remote like St Helena. It may have also motivated Napoleon to try to regain power.
