When Bulbaski informed Jerome Bonaparte of the Old Guard blocking the road, Jerome Bonaparte immediately felt it was tricky.
Jerome Bonaparte first thought of "veterans' rights," something that was not uncommon in the 19th century, nor even in the 21st century.
Especially with improved conditions in the Imperial Army.
After Jerome Bonaparte ascended the throne, in order to promote healthy reforms in the French Army and to forge the image of the Bonaparte Clan prioritizing the army, Jerome Bonaparte not only retired soldiers who exceeded their service years but also worked to improve the treatment of French veterans,
ensuring every veteran could receive a certain amount of pension after reaching a certain number of years (the pension could only cover basic expenses).
If they didn't wish to receive a pension, they could find re-employment under government department guidance.
