WI Louis I Bonaparte of Naples.

WI instead of giving his brother Holland Napoleon instead make Louis king of the recently conquered Naples. How would that effect the rest of the wars and if Napoleon is still defeated like in otl would Louis be a ble to keep his crown.
 
for starters it will be a loss for the netherlands, because the chances that someone gets installed that is better than louis napoleon are slim. that person also will not keep napoleon at bay for some time (by delaying to supply recruits like louis did)
 
In Naples is it probably less likely that Louis will clash with his brother. So he will stay King, which could actually help Napoleon, because Louis was a better soldier then Jerome and more loyal in the end as Murat.

If Louis goes to Naples I assume Josef goes to Holland. This means, if he still goes to Spain, Murat will become king of Holland. With Murat King, Holland will probably not get annexed and its possible the German coast will go to Holland.
This means major butterflies for the events in 1812/13.
