As a See also:cavalry officer See also:young Montauban saw much service in See also:Algeria, but he was still only a See also:colonel when in 1847 he effected the See also:capture of Abdel-Kader. After rising to the See also:rank of general of See also:division and commanding the See also:province of See also:Constantine, he was appointed in 1858 to a command at See also:home, and at the See also:close of 1859 was selected to See also:lead the French troops in the See also:joint French and See also:British expedition to See also:China.

The allegation that he had acquired a vast See also:fortune by the See also:plunder of the See also:Pekin summer See also:palace seems to have been without, See also:foundation. In 1865 he was appointed to the command of the IV. See also:army See also:corps at See also:Lyons, in the training of which he displayed exceptional See also:energy and administrative capacity.

He at once, with See also:great success, reorganized the military resources of the nation. He claimed to have raised See also:Marshal See also:MacMahon's force at Chalons to 140,000 men, to have created three new army corps, 33 new regiments and See also:ioo,000 gardes mobiles, and to have brought the defences of the See also:capital to a See also:state of efficiency—all this in twenty-four days.

scheme depended on a precision and rapidity of which the army of Chalons was no longer capable, and ended with the disaster of See also:Sedan. After the See also:capitulation of the See also:emperor the dictatorship was offered to Palikao, but he refused to See also:desert the See also:empire, and proposed to establish a council of See also:national See also:defence, with himself as " See also:lieutenant-general of See also:government." Before a decision was made, the chamber was invaded by the See also:mob, and Palikao fled to See also:Belgium. In 1871 he appeared before the See also:parliamentary See also:commission of inquiry, and in the same See also:year established Un Ministere de la guerre de vingtquatre jours. He died at See also:Versailles on the 8th of See also:January 1878.
