Kutuzov urgently dispatched 6,000 troops to East Prussia, but the soldiers in the army and ordinary junior officers did not know where they were going, only that they were transferred to this completely unfamiliar place under the orders of their superiors, of course, what their superiors told them to conduct field training.
Only a few high-ranking officers who led the army knew the destination of their trip, and these officers were Kutuzov's henchmen, in other words, Kutuzov was not at ease to hand over such a big thing to someone he didn't believe in very much, and once this kind of thing was known, it would be in danger of losing his head, so these generals could be called Kutuzov's best friends.
Moreover, it took only five days for this army to be drawn, assembled, and opened, which is simply unimaginable, in fact, it was mainly Kutuzov who pulled it out in the name of the army's large-scale field training for fear that others would find out about the abnormality in the army, so that so many men and horses could be gathered so quickly.
It was also after the departure of the 6,000 troops that Kutuzov sent to receive the 4,000 troops of the Kingdom of Poland that the good news was that everything was going well in the process of receiving the army, and that the army was now moving to the northeast of the Kingdom of Poland, which bordered the area of East Prussia.
With the departure of the Russian troops in the northeast, a power vacuum was formed in the local area, and some Polish nationalists who were not willing to be lonely soon learned the news that the Russian garrison had left the barracks and disappeared, of course, thinking of the Cossack mercenaries who had passed by here before, and these nationalists still had a little understanding of the future of these troops.
But before they could do anything, the arrival of the 4,000 Polish kings once again extinguished the flame in their hearts, but when they learned that the 4,000 troops were actually the troops of the Kingdom of Poland, the flame in their hearts burned even more violently, and they repeatedly contacted some of the officers of the 4,000 Polish army to explain to them the suffering of the Kingdom of Poland and the idea of nationalism.
Kutuzov didn't know about these surging undercurrents, and now his eyes were all on East Prussia, and he couldn't be interested anywhere else, but even if Kutuzov knew, he would just laugh it off, hoping that the nationalists would succeed unless the Russian Empire collapsed, otherwise the saber of the Russian Empire would make the scarlet fantasies understand how ridiculous their ideas were.
But Kutuzov does not understand that once hatred is planted, it will sprout and grow like a sapling, and last year's Warsaw Pact made Polish nationalists regard the Russians as lifelong enemies, and of course their attitude towards the Prussians was also hostile, but after all, Prussia did not garrison troops in the Kingdom of Poland, and Russia not only stationed troops in the Kingdom of Poland but also played a role in the head of the Polish people, who suffered greatly from the poisoning of the Russians.
Seeing that the king of the Kingdom of Poland was bullied like a dog by the Russians, some brave and courageous Polish people felt that they could not continue like this, and with the two partitions of Poland, the territory of the Kingdom of Poland had shrunk sharply, and even Warsaw was controlled by the Russians Several Polish nobles of Kazimiławski declared their opposition to Russian interference in Polish internal affairs, calling the Polish king Stanisław August a "valet of the Russian Catherine" and forming an alliance in a small town called Barr.
The Bal League was designed to overthrow the current king and remove all unequal Russian rights in Poland, but it was then completely destroyed by the Russians when it was ruthlessly suppressed by Empress Catherine II.
But the Baal Union showed the way for the nationalists of the entire Kingdom of Poland, and more people embarked on the road of confronting the Russians, and this idea also had a large market among the nobility, and Poland was unanimously disgusted by the arrogance of the Russians, and only under the Russian garrison in the Kingdom of Poland was subject to the Russian garrison in the Kingdom of Poland, so it maintained a peace on the surface, but under this peace was a torrent that could make people die without a place to bury.
The departure of Kutuzov's troops gave a glimmer of hope, and there were many people who secretly opposed Russia among the 4,000 troops who demanded from the Kingdom of Poland, but the nationalists, including everyone in the Polish army, understood that the Russians were too powerful at the moment to be the right time, so everyone waited.
After passing through a small Prussian town, many of the Russian army of 6,000 realized that they had reached the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, and this realization made many people feel nervous.
Everyone knows what it means that the Russian army has entered the territory of Prussia, is it crazy that they want to go to war with Prussia, many soldiers thought in their hearts.
It's not that the soldiers of the Russian army are afraid of war, but they simply don't understand what caused the war to happen, and generally speaking, when the war starts, the soldiers in the army will know where they are going to fight and who they are fighting, but now no one knows where they are going to fight.
Moreover, the Prussians were not at the mercy of the Russians like the Poles, so most of the Russian soldiers were uneasy and apprehensive about their evenly matched opponents.
And this restlessness also affected the officers in command, who were angry that they had been deceived, and the Russian army was not like the Prussian army, in which the officers could be civilians or veterans, but in the Russian army the officers were nobles.
The pride of the nobility made it impossible for the officers to bear the fact that they had been deceived, so they united to demand an account from the commander of this army, who was also Kutuzov's henchman.
The commander-in-chief of the army showed the officers the order that Catherine II had sent to Kutuzov on the discretionary handling of the affairs of East Prussia, and the commander-in-chief told the officers in righteous words that their actions were approved by Her Majesty the Empress, and whoever disagreed was against the Empress.
In such a situation, it was naturally difficult for the officers to get closer, and then the commander showed the officers Kutuzov's order, Kutuzov ordered the army to go to East Prussia to assist the Kleiman rebels against the Prussian army, but at the same time Kutuzov demanded that the officers themselves be Russian regular troops, and Kutuzov demanded that the officers say that they were mercenaries even if they were captured.
Although the officers were aggrieved by the change in their status, they carried it out under Kutuzov's orders, and everyone knew that this general Kutuzov had a great future, and offending him was really worth the loss.
Kutuzov listened to his subordinates' reports on the movements of the various armies while looking at the map on the table in front of him.
The 6,000-strong army in the early stage was completely composed of garrisons in the northeast of the Kingdom of Poland, and now there are only 4,000 Polish troops there as reserves, and there are still 5,000 people in Kutuzov's plan that need to be drawn from all over Poland, so in order to hide people's eyes, Kutuzov can only be drawn from battalion by battalion, and this is precisely the most time-consuming.
When the news of Kutuzov's promise to continue to support the rebels reached Königsberg, the rebel leadership, who had been somewhat languished, changed again after learning the news, especially after Kutuzov responded to Kleiman's statement that a Russian army of 6,000 men would set out to support the rebels in the short term, and everyone was optimistic again.
Königsberg had 5,000 troops enough to support the Russian army, and while the rebels were smiling, Kleiman finally had to worry about it, and until he received a response from Kutuzov, he had been worried that the Russians would refuse his request, but God forbid the Russians agreed to continue to support him.
The counterinsurgency, the rebels, the Pryvsky Cossacks, and the Russian army, four armies gathered in East Prussia, and the war was on the verge of breaking out
