After a few more days in Brandenburg, Wilhelm received news that he had to leave Brandenburg: Locks reported that the Marquis of Morakot in East Prussia was constantly connecting some nobles who were dissatisfied with William's military reforms, and he did receive certain results, about thirty nobles from all over Prussia gathered in Königsberg, these nobles had been talking several times in succession, and because the spies of the royal family of the old Morakot did not obtain information about the secret talks, but Locks thought that Morakot must be planning something This made William have to rush back to Potsdam as soon as possible, for the old Morakot, the last time in East Prussia when he clearly opposed William's military reforms, William wanted to take him, but William saw that he had been born and died with Frederick the Great and did not punish him, but he didn't expect Morakot to get an inch, what did he want to do, gather so many opposition nobles from all over the world, did he want to rebel It is not yet a long time since the chaotic era of the Middle Ages, and the following crimes would not be considered unacceptable, otherwise William would have had to face not only Austria alone, but the entire princes of the Holy Roman Empire when he attacked Austria Although in Locks's letters, Locks did not state that Morakot showed signs of rebellion, but privately gathered some nobles for secret talks, which undoubtedly made William's nerves tense Moreover, it is not possible to order the arrest of Morakot and others immediately, because even the king cannot allow others not to go to the party when there is a gathering between nobles, and besides, there is no sign of any ill intentions for Morakot at the moment, and if he is arrested immediately, it will definitely cause an uproar in Prussia After all, Morakot had a very high prestige in East Prussia, and he was one of the most noble nobles left behind in the era of the previous kings William in his previous life was used to thinking about things from the worst, although this is not a good habit, but only by thinking of the worst can you find the best solution to a problem Therefore, William decided to wait until he returned to Sanssouci Palace and immediately ordered the replacement of the garrison army in East Prussia, if Morakot and the others dared to make a small move, William would definitely destroy him with a thunderous situation has given him a choice, now just Morakot don't mistake himself Ai William thought so, but what William didn't know was that Locks, who was far away in Potsdam, was also very troubled at this time Morakot and Locks can be said to be old friends, and even from the time of following Frederick the Great, Morakot was still before Locks, during the period when Morakot followed Frederick the Great to conquer the west, he got acquainted with a large number of powerful people in the army, and at the same time, because Morakot was cheerful and bold, which made Morakot very popular in the army And Locks and Morakot were comrades-in-arms when he first entered the army, and during the war, Locks grew from a recruit to a qualified officer, and Morakot contributed a lot Even if Morakot lived in East Prussia after retiring from the army, a large number of Prussian nobles, including Locks, would contact him through letters, and even if such a pivotal figure withdrew from the public eye, his influence was still great When William was in Warsaw, he ordered Locks to send someone to keep an eye on Morakot, and Locks was a little resistant to this order, Locks did not think that Morakot might betray Prussia, but at present, as far as the intelligence system is concerned, Locks is still nominally in charge, but in fact, Count Hans is already in charge of nearly half of the intelligence system, at least the domestic spies are currently under the jurisdiction of Hans After receiving William's order, Hans sent the surveillance personnel out without waiting for Locks' consent, which made Locks very angry, but because His Majesty the King had already given the order, Locks was not easy to say When he received Morakot's secret meeting at home with the nobles who were dissatisfied with the military reform, Locks still thought that it was just a coincidence, and he was not ready to report it to Wilhelm immediately, but Hans also knew the news, so Hans asked Locks to report to Wilhelm immediately Under Hans's toughness, although Locks was angry in his heart, he also knew that this matter should be reported to William anyway, if he stopped Hans from mentioning this matter to William, then no matter how he defended himself, he would definitely be swept into the garbage in William's heart, so in the end Locks would report this matter But Locks didn't expect William to attach so much importance to this information, in fact, William couldn't help but pay attention to it, as mentioned above, if such a person with great appeal in Prussia rebelled, wouldn't William have to drink a pot fiercely After receiving the information that William had hurried from Brandenburg to Sanssouci Palace after receiving the information, Locks found that things were not as simple as he imagined, and William's reaction was beyond his imagination Could it be that old comrade-in-arms of his own really has something else in mind, I hope you don't be so crazy, Morakot, Locks stood up, walked to the bookshelf, sighed, and said silently Königsberg, East Prussia, in the residence of the Marquis of Morak "Father, Viscount Lanroe of West Prussia, ask you what you think," said a medium-sized light man sitting at the head of the Marquis of Morakot This middle-aged man's name is Kleiman, the eldest son of the Marquis of Morakot, who was originally a major general in the Prussian army, but was dismissed last year because of William's military reforms, and the reason for his dismissal is simple: The fact that Kleiman was openly cheating with his mistress in the barracks was caught by the husband of the mistress who rushed to hear the news, and the mistress's husband was not too big or too noble, so the matter came to the top, and finally Prince Ferdinand personally made a decision on this matter: to remove Kleiman from all positions, which made Kleiman hold a grudge all the time "I don't think much about it," said Morakot, who seemed to think of something, and suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Look at the good things you have done over the years, it turns out that I have been kept in the dark by you, 300,000 silver coins, you are so powerful, Kleiman, how many of you dare to hide from me that I am greedy for 300,000, those money are the soldiers' salaries, I think you want to die."
Morakot is talking about an old thing, during the reign of Frederick the Great, there was a military salary deficit case in East Prussia, Frederick ordered someone to investigate secretly, and it turned out that this matter was related to Kleiman, and later Frederick did not deal with Kleiman for the sake of Morakot's birth and death for so many years, but then Kleiman, who was already a major general before the case, has not changed, and this matter was learned by Morakot overhearing the private chatter of the attendants in the mansion "Father, that incident has passed, Frederick is dead, besides, father, you have been working with Frederick for so many years, our family should take a little money, you see Frederick is not sure what to do, no" Kleiman said nonchalantly "You and you are going to be angry or not, I followed His Majesty to fight in the east and west, and when I heard my name, even the enemy had to praise it, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was my son who completely ruined my reputation" As he spoke, Morakot beat his chest and shouted "Father, you see, isn't this for the good of our family, by the way, there are more than thirty nobles waiting for your news in the city, you should give me a word of permission Ai, I used your name to gather everyone" Kleiman hurriedly stepped forward to support Morakot and said, but his face was not very respectful "No, get out of here, I don't have a son like you, my Morakot's reputation is ruined in your hands, and the ancestors of the family will not be blind" Morakot threw Kleiman's hand away and roared loudly "You old man, what do you want to do, tell you, I have already set up a line with the Russians, as long as we make a move, the Russians will help us, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be better for us to lay down East Prussia and be the king ourselves, you have lived in vain for so many years" Seeing Morakot, who did not give face, Kleiman said angrily, and then he threatened: "You'd better see the nobles, and the weapons I got from the Russians have been brought into the city by me in your name, whether you fight or not, the king will not give you a way out" With that, Kleiman snorted and turned and walked out of the room Morakot in the room suddenly felt the world spinning, and only heard a bang, Morakot fell to the ground, and he crawled on the ground and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you" With that, Morakot closed his eyes, tears streaming from his eyes ~∷
