"What do you say, say it again" Auguste thought he had misheard, and in disbelief he grabbed the court minister by the collar and pulled him tightly to him, questioning him loudly.
"Your Majesty, in the city, the Marquis of Chirdos rebelled with a group of nobles" The court minister replied in a trembling voice, and his answer made Auguste, who was already angry, in a trance.
The Marquis of Childos and Auguste are still somewhat related, when the king was elected, Chirdos also provided great help to Auguste at that time, so as soon as Auguste ascended the throne, the title of Chirdos was directly promoted from viscount to marquis, and after that, the marquis was naturally loyal to Auguste, saddle before and after the horse, but what Auguste didn't expect was that it was Chirdos who set off a rebellion.
Seeing that August was a little stunned, the court minister said eagerly: "Your Majesty, now that the rebels are attacking the palace, you have to take countermeasures as soon as possible."
Hearing the call of the court minister, August's expression gradually stabilized "Quick, immediately send someone to General Fransky to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and order the palace guards to guard the palace" "Yes" The court minister hurried away from Auguste's side "Chirdos, I skinned you" August whispered with a hideous face.
At this moment, Chirdos, who was worried about August, was commanding the rebels to besiege several important points in Warsaw, surrounded by a group of nobles.
"The east gate, the granary, and the treasury, these three places must be taken as soon as possible.
By the way, send someone to General Fransky, and tell him that now that the Russians have taken Kazakhstan Fort and will arrive under Warsaw in the near future, I hope he can see the situation clearly, otherwise it will be the end of life and death."
Chirdos said to the nobles around him, and his words also made a flattering smile appear on the nobles' faces.
"I have already made contact with His Excellency Marshal Potemkin, and those who have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light here today are all Polish heroes, and when the situation calms down, I can't say that your titles and territories will be promoted, and I ask you to help me a lot when the time comes."
"I can't do it, I can't do it.
I've always looked at Lord Chirdos, and I should say that my lord is waiting for me."
"It's just...
That is, Lord Chirdos's merciful determination to save our Poland from the hands of the tyrant is indeed the savior of the whole of Poland, and we should obey the orders of the Lord."
The fawning of the nobles made Chirdos very useful, and he modestly said that he was encouraging, but in his heart he was proud.
In fact, the Russians had already planted a nail around Auguste, and this nail was Childos, but in the past to prevent themselves from being exposed.
So Chirdos didn't get too close to the Russians, even when August purged the pro-Russian nobility in the city.
Chirdos was just watching from the sidelines, as a nobleman, Chirdos understood the most about the way to save his life, at first August was powerful, Chirdos could not bear it.
It was only recently when news of the fall of Kazakhstan came that Chirdos finally made up his mind.
Of course, this move is a thunderbolt, because of Auguste's favor, the power in Chirdos's hands is very considerable, and after that.
He used the Russian army to besiege Kazakhburg, which made the nobles in Warsaw fluctuate, and he also made great efforts to win over a group of nobles.
Although a large number of nobles who were interested in the Russians in Warsaw were purged by August, but unfortunately, the defeat some time ago made the hearts of the nobles float again, and the entire 90,000 troops could not defeat the Russians.
The fluctuation of people's hearts has created opportunities for Chirdos.
Chirdos was not prepared to rebel now, believing that the best chance to raise an army would be after the Russians had advanced under Warsaw.
Then he should be united with the inside and outside, so that it would take no effort to please his master.
But Chirdos's aides did not advise him to do so, and the Russians did something else to do after they entered Warsaw and to take Warsaw alone, which was a completely different kind of work.
The former is less dangerous, but the corresponding merit is small, but if Warsaw had been taken before the Russians arrived, Childos would have been completely immortal, and could have been given a higher status after the war.
In Capital, Marx quoted an English author: "Just as nature is said to fear a vacuum, capital fears a situation where there is no profit or profits that are too small."
As soon as there is a proper profit, the capitalist will be very emboldened.
As long as there is a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere; 20%, it will be lively; 50% of the time, it will cause positive risk-taking; 100%, it will make people ignore all laws; 300% will make people not afraid of sin, or even the danger of hanging. ” Chirdos took the advice of this staff member after much deliberation, and the greed and timidity of the nobles were strangely blended in Chirdos, and when the reward was far greater than the pay, Chirdos was naturally willing to take the risk.
And after counting the strength in his hands, Chirdos found that he had unconsciously mastered a force that was enough to affect the entire Warsaw, dozens of nobles who took refuge in Chirdos brought him more than 8,000 armed forces, and Chirdos himself also had a private army of more than 500 people, plus these nobles were deeply rooted in Warsaw, they could completely influence most of the Warsaw garrison forces, although they would not let them take refuge in themselves, but it was enough to keep many garrisons on the sidelines.
There were now only more than 40,000 troops in Warsaw, but as August's henchman, Chirdos knew that these troops were at most more than 10,000 men in August's hands, and this included the royal guard, so Childos decided to take a risk.
January 7, 1782, was the New Year of the Russian calendar.
Chirdos decided to present a New Year's gift to his new master on this day in order to win the favor of his new master.
Most of the nobles in Warsaw were caught off guard by the sudden rebellion, but after Chirdos sent people to pacify them, these nobles neither sent troops to suppress nor join in the rebellion, and as Childos thought, most of the nobles chose to wait and see.
The rebels moved smoothly, and with the troops loyal to Augustus off guard, the rebels quickly captured some important areas of the city.
Fransky frowned and looked at the two letters in his hand, one from August and one from Chirdos, as one of August's henchmen.
Fransky has always been envious and jealous of Chirdos, and Auguste's affection for this first confidant is not comparable to others.
After the Russian army arrived at the city of Kazakhburg, August transferred Fransky, who was originally stationed in southern Poland, back to Warsaw, accompanied by more than 10,000 reinforcements, and now Fransky is the most powerful general in the whole Warsaw.
From the bottom of his heart, Fransky was not willing to betray August, although he had been guarding the southern region all these years, August's reward for him had never been broken, and Chirdos was a villain who betrayed his master, and Fransky was willing to teach him a hard lesson.
But as Childos said.
Now that the Russian army has captured Fort Kazakh, it will soon reach the city of Warsaw.
Whether Warsaw could be held or not had already been answered in Fransky's mind, how could the scattered city of Warsaw withstand the attack of the Russians.
But whether to turn his back on the old master like this, Fransky was a little hesitant, after all, these things are infamous that the Fransky family can't shake off for thousands of years.
Just as Fransky hesitated, one of the generals behind him spoke "Your Excellency General, this time Your Excellency Chirdos raised troops, even if we succeeded in suppressing them, how much defense force would there be in Warsaw.

You don't know the virtues of those nobles, but I'm afraid that when the Russians come to the city, countless Childos will pop up again."
This sentence shocked Fransky's heart, as the general said, Chirdos's men have quite a few people, even if the suppression is successful, I am afraid that his soldiers and horses will suffer great casualties.
When the Russians approached the city, it was even more unlikely that the weakened men and horses would be the opponents of the Russians.
Thinking of this, Fransky made up his mind "Send someone to tell Chirdos, in order to be vigilant against the Russians, not a single soldier of my soldiers and horses will come out of the barracks, let him do what he wants" As he spoke, Fransky tore apart the two letters he was holding.
And after seeing that Fransky had made up his mind, the general behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, yesterday he had received a full thirty gold bars from Chirdos, and he was loyal to the king.
After getting Fransky's reply, Chirdos pursed his lips disdainfully, saying that he didn't want to wade into this troubled water because he was guarding against the Russians, but it was okay, at least the chances of the rebellion being successful were a little greater.
The royal guards trapped in the palace could no longer hold on, and the entire palace was sent by Auguste to resist the rebels, but the bad news still came one after another, and now August has pinned all his hopes on Fransky.
But the left and right did not wait for Fransky's reinforcements, according to the distance, Fransky's barracks were less than an hour away from the palace, but it had been several hours and there was still no news of reinforcements, and August had already sent several messengers asking for help.
"Your Majesty, the main gate of the palace is almost unguarded, you see" The court minister asked timidly, standing beside August August closed his eyes, although he didn't know the news outside, but after such a long time of no reinforcements coming, Auguste already had a hint of realization in his heart, afraid that Fransky had also betrayed him.
Thinking of this, August glanced around his palace "Thank you for your hard work, I knew why I had to do it today, Yevisky, I'm sorry for you" Thinking of the defeat of the 90,000-strong army, August's face was filled with remorse, and if he had trusted Yevisky, the situation would have changed long ago.
But the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to return to the sky August stood up and straightened his clothes, then picked up the saber that was placed on the side and walked out of the palace with his head held high. ...................
August died, at the guns of the rebels, and although he changed his usual cowardice and personally led the royal guards to kill, the result was already sealed from the moment Fransky made up his mind.
