However, there were very few Mecklenburgers who responded to Frederick's order, and everyone understood that with the destruction of the city of Schwerin, the current Frederick was completely on the mantis arm, and the whole of Mecklenburg no longer had the strength to stop the advance of the Prussian army, and some nobles who knew the times secretly approached Dessau.
And some nobles promised Dessau that if necessary, the nobles would raise troops against the Prussians, provided that Prussia must protect the legitimate rights and interests of the nobles and the lives of the nobles, and Dessau fully agreed.
On September 15, 1788, most of the 5th Division under Kraunz and most of the 9th Division and 3rd Division under Blucher joined forces under the city of Schwerin.
With the addition of the 37th and 38th Infantry Regiments of the 10th Division and the 19th Cavalry Regiment, the Prussian army once again reached nearly 30,000 men.
On September 19, 1788, when the Prussian army of 20,000 approached Wismar, Frederick learned that the Prussian army continued to move north, and immediately sent an envoy to ask for 6,000 Danish reinforcements on the way, hoping that the reinforcements could speed up the pace and arrive at Wismar as soon as possible.
On September 21, 1788, the Prussian army approached Wismar, which was now defended by only 3,000 remnants of Mecklenburg, and the Danish reinforcements were still far away.
On September 23, after two days of fierce fighting, the city of Wismar was broken, thanks in large part to the nobles of Wismar, who, without Frederick's attention, led the men to open the gates of Wismar and received the Prussian army into the city.
The news that Frederick had become a prisoner of the Prussian army quickly spread throughout Mecklenburg, and Dessau declared Frederick to be imprisoned for life for crimes against humanity, and Mecklenburg fell!
After the pacification of Mecklenburg, Dessau and his Prussian generals were so motivated that Dessau issued a slogan for a week to pacify Schleswig and Holstein, and the Prussian army was encouraged.
The morale of the army was greatly inspired.
After leaving the 9th Division in Mecklenburg, Dessau sent someone to report to Potsdam and at the same time sent someone to tell William about the losses suffered by the Prussian army, Dessau hoped that William could mobilize another batch of reinforcements to help Dessau's army, and Dessau hoped that William could support a group of garrison forces in Mecklenburg, so as to rescue the 9th Division from the task of defense.
William received letters from Dessau.
The 2nd Division, stationed in Brandenburg, was immediately ordered to prepare for departure.
At the same time, William ordered the royal guards to prepare for war.
In October 1788, Marshal Dessau led the bulk of the Prussian army to Schleswig, but seeing that resistance was hopeless, the Duke of Schleswig chose to surrender.
You must know that Schleswig's territory is more narrow than that of Mecklenburg, and the whole of Schleswig has less than 4,000 troops, so what can be done to resist the overwhelming Prussian army.
After receiving the Duke's letter of surrender, Dessau praised the Duke's ability to correct his mistakes, stating in public that the Prussian army would not infringe on Schleswig's inherent rights, and that the Prussian army was an army of the civilized world.
The Prussian army would not cause damage to the native environment of Schleswig.
Under the guarantee of Prussia, the Duke of Schleswig could only helplessly watch the Prussian army cross the border, and as an unspoken rule, Schleswig provided the Prussian army with a large number of horses and baggage, of course, these were free of charge.
Although Dessau had some guarantees and Schleswig promised to cooperate, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and it was impossible for Dessau not to make some protection for his rear road, so the 37th Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division was left in Schleswig, and the 37th Infantry Regiment was tasked with protecting the rear of the Prussian army.
"Hanbock.
You're going to be developed."
"That's it, Hanbwick, you're in for a treat."
Confused, Hanbock lay under the window and watched his comrades shouting loudly and at a loss, just when the tent was very lively, a brief coughing sound came in.
"Attention all.
The commander of the 37th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Heatherdine, arrived!
” With the sound of this voice, the originally lively tent instantly became silent, and the comrades-in-arms who gathered around Hanbock's bedside quickly divided into two rows.
As the curtain of the tent was opened, a tall figure caught Hanbock's eye.
When he saw who the figure was walking in, Hanbock felt his heart beat more and more intensely.
Of course, Hanbock was about to struggle to get out of bed.
Seeing Hanbock's movements, Heatadin, the commander of the 37th Infantry Regiment, rushed to Hanbock's side in three steps and two steps.
"Your Excellency Humberk, what you have done under the city of Schwerin will be remembered forever by the entire Prussian army, and you are now rewarded for your bravery by the decision of your superiors, and I now announce the order of your superiors."
As he spoke, Heatadin looked around, and everyone in the tent puffed up their chests under Heatadin's gaze.
"After the study and decision of the superiors, and with the approval of His Excellency Field Marshal Dessau, the commander-in-chief of the army, Private Hanbock of the 7th Battalion of the 37th Infantry Regiment, because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Schwerin, fought bloody battles surrounded by a hundred times the enemy, and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the army, I once again announce that Private Hanbock has been promoted to captain and appointed to the post of platoon commander of the third platoon of the 7th Battalion, and I hope that Second Lieutenant Hanbock will continue to carry forward the fine tradition and make greater contributions to the Prussian army!"
As Heathendine's words landed, the whole tent resounded with huge cheers, and Hanbock's comrades-in-arms cast envious glances at Hanbock, knowing that Hanbock was only nineteen years old this year, and there were not many nineteen-year-old captains in the whole of Prussia.
Of course, except for those high-achieving students who graduated from the Brandenburg Military Academy, but even those high-achieving students will be awarded the rank of captain when they graduate, and not to mention that the platoon commander is also a real position, and I don't know how much better than the staff officers of those divisional headquarters.
Suddenly hearing the good news, Hanbock didn't react a little, although these days there are constantly comrades-in-arms in Hanbock's ear to congratulate him, but Hanbock thinks that with his own literacy level that can't write a few big characters, even if his superiors are promoted, it is impossible to be promoted, but now he is actually a captain platoon commander?
Think about the platoon commander before, although it seems that the platoon commander is only a grassroots officer, but after all, he is already an official officer of the Kingdom of Prussia, and the majesty of his former platoon commander, Hanberk still remembers it, Hanberk's chest beat violently.
But at this moment, a basin of cold water poured down from Colonel Heatadin "Hanbock, you'd better improve your knowledge level as soon as possible, you must know that if you don't know how to read, you can completely mention it again with your merits, so, in this way, our regiment still has a place recommended to the Brandenburg Military Academy this year, if you want to improve, it's best to come to me as soon as possible!"
Heathaldine's words made Hanbock depressed again, it turned out that if he wasn't limited by culture, he could still go one step higher, and then he would be the battalion commander, generally speaking, in the eyes of the soldiers, a battalion commander has hundreds of soldiers under him, that is as beautiful as it is, thinking of this, Hanberk felt a burst of regret.
Seeing the expression on Hanbwick's face, Heatadine certainly knew what Hanbwick was thinking, and on the other hand, Hanbrick's exploits were completely the envy of Heatherdin for a while, and he took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation and disrupting the formation of hundreds of enemy troops, laying a solid foundation for the whole army to enter the city victoriously.
Not to mention Humberk, even if it is placed on Heatadine's body, it can completely make Heatandine step into the sequence of generals.
You must know that after William's military reform, it is very difficult to promote generals in the entire Prussian army, after all, there are only so many troops in the whole Prussia that there are no more generals.
"Hanbock, you should rest more, now that our regiment is stationed in Schleswig, there must be no big accidents, so you have to seize this time to recover well, I will leave first" The polite Colonel Heatadine left the tent, and Hanbock was once again surrounded by excited comrades, listening to the flattery of his comrades, Hanberk quietly clenched his palms, he secretly determined that he must improve his cultural level, so that he can have a greater future in the future, think about his future glory to return to his hometown, Hanberk is stupid.
Following Schleswig's surrender, Holstein also conveyed his goodwill to Prussia, but unlike Schleswig, Holstein had his own conditions: 1.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Prussia must guarantee Holstein's right to **. 2.
Holstein only guaranteed Prussia's military access and would not provide any logistical support to Prussia as Schleswig did. 3.
The Prussian army must ensure military discipline after entering the country, otherwise Holstein has the right to block the passage of the Prussian army.
In the view of Marshal Dessau, Holstein had no sincerity in peace talks at all, and in the first battle of Schwerin, Holstein had lost the ability to negotiate terms, so Dessau clearly told Holstein's envoy.
Either Holstein and Schleswig generally showed sincerity, or Holstein waited for the Prussian army to take revenge!
