Just as Kleiman was entering the secret passage, the Prussian counterinsurgency army had approached Kleiman's mansion, and the rebels encountered along the way were either disarmed and surrendered or scattered.

The Russians did not make any further moves after shrinking their forces, and Mikharilev only commanded the army to prepare for the defense, but when he saw that the banner of the rebels at the head of Königsberg was thrown down and replaced with the flag of the King of Prussia, his face was as complicated as it could be.
As Kutuzov's confidant, Mikharilev certainly knew how deeply involved his benefactor was in the war, and now that the rebellion that Russia had so painstakingly supported had been put down, the Russians had so far worked so hard were embarrassed.
Mikhariev wanted to attack now, but the situation forced him to consider the consequences of doing so, and there were many more enemies on the opposite side than himself, and if he fought, he had little chance of winning, thinking of this, Mikharilev waved his hand fiercely and ordered the army to return to the camp.
Seeing that the Russian army on the opposite side had retreated, Ferdinand was overjoyed, and he just wanted to order the whole army to attack, but before his order was given, Henry came.
Seeing that Ferdinand was actually going to pursue the Russian army at this moment, Henry hurriedly stopped him, and seeing that Henry actually stopped him, Ferdinand's face was quite ugly, but then the expression on his face turned into ecstasy, because Henry told him that Königsberg had been captured.
Looking at Ferdinand, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, Henry also grinned again, who knows that when Henry learned that Königsberg was actually captured, and like Ferdinand, this rebellion really involved too much power in the Kingdom of Prussia, and the sooner it was pacified, the less damage it would do to Prussia.
Of course, even outside the city, sporadic gunfire could still be heard from inside Königsberg from time to time, but all this did not matter to Henry, he did not believe that the small number of rebels who had lost their fighting spirit could resist the attack of the counterinsurgency army, and the sporadic gunfire also showed from the side that the overall situation in Königsberg was decided.
After learning the news, Henry immediately rode to Ferdinand's side, so the above coincidence prevented Ferdinand's attack on the Russian army.
But Ferdinand, after recovering from his joy, actually said to Henry: "Henry, now that Königsberg has been captured, then we should attack the Russian army on the opposite side, and now that we have no worries, we can do our best to keep all those Russians here."
Faced with Ferdinand's opinion, Henry replied with a wry smile: "Ferdinand, I know what you think, but now we really don't want to drink the Russian army to break out into a large-scale conflict, East Prussia has become a scorched earth because of Morakot's rebellion, if we fight with the Russians again, the situation that has just been calmed down will definitely make waves again, you must know that East Prussia is our territory, no matter how much we fight on this land, it will damage our interests" To Henry's surprise, Ferdinand spat at his words, and Ferdinand said: "Now we have fought with the Russians, Henry, you must understand that there is already a war between us and the Russians, and Morakot obviously has the support of the Russians behind him, which shows that the Russians have always been hostile to us Prussia, and now we can take this opportunity to teach those Russians a lesson, so that they understand that we are not easy to bully, and since the seeds of hatred have been planted, then we have to make a break with them.
And Henry, you just said that East Prussia was in ruins because of Morakot's rebellion, but this is a good time to fight, and if we restore the prosperity of East Prussia and then fight the Russians, then we will not gain more than we will lose."
Facing Ferdinand, who was somewhat forceful, Henry felt a little speechless, but he still had to convince his old fellow.
"Ferdinand, we just had some conflicts with the Russians, and these conflicts have not yet evolved into wars, but if I let you attack now, there will be no room for détente between us and the Russians, you imagine how much the continuous war has cost us to Prussia in the past few years, now is a good opportunity to cultivate ourselves and recuperate, if we go to war with the Russians now, it will be us who will suffer."
Henry's bitterness finally played a role, and thinking about it, Henry's words did have some truth, but Ferdinand was still unwilling to give up like this.
Seeing that Ferdinand was a little moved, Henry said vigorously: "Besides, now we have more than 5,000 Russian troops in front of us, who knows if there are Russian troops behind them, our strength does not have much advantage, in this case, why not wait for the reinforcements from Brandenburg and Bohemia to arrive, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will have more than 30,000 troops, and if the Russians dare to be rampant again, we will give them a good look" Since Henry said this, Ferdinand felt that he needed to give Henry a face, so Ferdinand nodded and agreed with Henry.
Henry was relieved to see that Ferdinand agreed, and then discussed with Ferdinand how to form a report on the situation here and send it to Sanssouci Palace.
Sanssouci Palace, William's bedroom.
William Yin looked at the report in his hand, this report said that there are more and more mysterious people with strange whereabouts throughout the country recently, these mysterious people stay in the homes of various nobles for a while and then disappear, and with the intensification of the counterinsurgency war and some nobles were executed without specific evidence of rebellion, many nobles in the country do not live in the residence in the city but run to their own farms, and these nobles also armed serfs in their farms in order to protect themselves.
No matter what, things still have to be dealt with after all, thinking of this, William took a deep breath.
Because of William's order some time ago, some nobles who were still hesitating and wandering seemed to have made a decision now, maybe as long as the front-line counterinsurgency army failed, then the time for these nobles to rise up was long enough, thinking of this, William still couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Just when William was distressed by this report, Hans rushed in, waved the report in his hand frantically, and said with joy: "Your Majesty, according to Prince Ferdinand's report, the rebel leader Morakot has been killed in the battle outside Bialysk" William jumped up and snatched the report from Hans's hand, and then looked at it word by word, and saw that the report was indeed as Hans said, Morakot led his army and Ferdinand in a fierce battle outside the city of Bialysk, and in the battle completely annihilated the rebels and Morakot himself was killed.
After reading this report, William was a little incredulous, but then his mood was filled with joy like Hans, God knows that William was disturbed by Morakot's rebellion during this time, whether it was sleeping or eating, he looked worried and hurried, and now after learning this huge news, the biggest stone in William's heart finally landed.
Except for Morakot, there is no one in the rebels who can provoke the beam, and this has to be said to be the gospel of God for William.
In his joy, Wilhelm immediately thought of the report he had read, and said to Hans: "Count Hans, you now inform the whole nation of the annihilation of the main rebel force by the rebels outside Bialysk and the killing of the rebel bandit Morakot, and declare that the kingdom will not tolerate any of the rebels if they accept them."
Hans also answered Wilhelm's command with a smile on his face, and was about to walk out, but Wilhelm stopped him.
"Hans, on the question of the Morakot rebellion, you immediately send people to protest to the Russians, and at the same time go to the British, we need the British and us to condemn the Russians for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and at the same time send a note to the Russians, if the Russians still insist on supporting the rebels, Prussia does not rule out the possibility of declaring war on Russia" The words that came out of William's mouth startled Hans, and if war was really declared on the Russians as Wilhelm said, then things would really be a big deal.
But seeing the resolute expression on William's face, Hans understood that at this point, William would never give in, so Hans still did not refute, but turned around and left the room.
What Hans didn't know was that Wilhelm's heart was also a little trembling, because of Morakot's rebellion, more than half of Prussia's standing army was involved, and as the war progressed, the casualties of the army must be inevitable, you must know that in Poland alone, Russia has nearly 30,000 troops.
If it really goes to war with the Russians, Prussia will not be pleased, but the face of a great power makes William have to make a choice, William in his previous life was fed up with the kind of behavior of pretending to be a grandson, there is no way to pretend to be a grandson if he has no strength, and if he has the strength to pretend to be a grandson, it is called a fool.
And the consequence of you pretending to be a grandson is to make your enemies bully you even harder, it is better not to pretend, Prussia has never pretended to be a grandson, even in the most painful time of the Great Northern War and the Seven Years' War, it has never bowed its proud head to the enemy.
The men of the House of Hohenzollern have never had a bad time, not since the time of the Teutonic Knights.
So what is there to be afraid of, there is a sentence in later generations that William agrees very much, no matter what, if you want to fight, then war, if the Russians really take Prussia's words as a fart, it is a big deal to fight another seven-year war. ps; There is absolutely no shadow shè anything to do things, I don't accept express delivery, thank you!
