"Few active activities"

[edit ]

Bits of this are incomprehensible, like the following paragraph, which contains the elegant expression "active activities" and much other rubbish ("Moscow-leaning Napoleon"). I'm not an expert, but someone who understands the subject and has a big shovel should try to clean it up. "Jacques Macdonald, who was based in Dünaburg (Daugavpils) and, despite Napoleon's orders, had carried out very few active activities from there, after that he was transferred to Jēkabpils Ginenbein's brigade from the French 7th Division, which was to help take Riga. 130 heavy ("siege") cannons were placed in Pilsrundāle. But at the time, Moscow-leaning Napoleon himself called on Maconald not to rush, hoping for peace talks that were never launched." METRANGOLO1 (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
