Chapter 340: Nikolaev in an empty shell


On November 27, 1789, Suvorov led 40,000 Russian troops to Dnepropetrovsk, an important town in central Ukraine, and Suvorov breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city close at hand, and it would take about a week from Dnepropetrovsk to Nikolaev, the headquarters of the Russian army in the Black Sea region.

As early as half a month ago, Suvorov sent a Jīng sharp cavalry squad to Nikolaev, hoping to get in touch with the Russian army in the Black Sea, and let the Russian army in the Black Sea region send people to repair the road.

But to his disappointment, so far there has been no news from the Russian army in the Black Sea region.

In fact, as early as when Paul I sent Suvorov to the Black Sea region, the veteran sensed that there must be something hidden behind the great changes in the situation in the Black Sea region, and this suspicion intensified as he led his army into Ukraine.

If no one deliberately made trouble behind his back, Suvorov did not believe that anyone dared to blatantly destroy the main highway in the territory of the Russian Empire, and wanted to die!

Despite this, Suvorov did not embarrass the local zhèngfǔ when he marched to the Ukrainian cities, especially in some of his familiar cities, and Suvorov was even more cordial to meet with local zhèngfǔ officials.

As in Dnepropetrovsk, Suvorov personally invited the local mayor to his barracks, and when Suvorov mentioned the road, the mayor and his entourage seemed very unnatural, seeing this situation, Suvorov already knew something in his heart, but he buried this thought deep in his heart.

There are only a handful of forces capable of sabotaging on such a large scale in the Black Sea region.

However, there are only the Ukrainian Governor's Palace and the Russian army in the Black Sea region, and there are many hidden lines of the royal family in the Ukrainian Governor's Palace, if the Ukrainian Governor-General destroys them.

Those dark lines can definitely get some information.

And so far, not a single piece of information has reached Suvorov, indicating that this matter must not have been done by the Ukrainian governor-general, so there is only one remaining force.

Thinking of the mission of his trip, Suvorov's brows furrowed again, and he felt a burst of regret in addition to anger, knowing that the Russian troops in the Black Sea region were all Russian army.

He is not willing to carry out a large-scale purge of these Russian troops, but now it seems that if there is no purge.

Sooner or later, this army of 100,000 will break away from the Empire A detachment of cavalry appeared under the city of Nikolaev.

"Please open the door, we are the subordinates of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, Marshal Suvorov!"

The squadron leader of the cavalry, Wimoska, rode to the city and shouted at the guards of the city, and the sight before him was very puzzled.

It stands to reason that as the location of the headquarters of the Russian army in the Black Sea region, Nikolaev is not very prosperous, but it is impossible to close the gates of the city in broad daylight.

But the gates that were now tightly closed and the heavily armed soldiers on the walls caught him off guard.

"Who are you?

This is Nikolaev, and if nothing happens, please leave immediately, or I will treat you as enemies!

” After a while, the words suddenly appeared from the city.

This sentence made Wimoska's heart fire in the nameless, he had obviously reported himself to his home, but these Nikolaev guards seemed to be deaf.

"I am Major Wimoska, Squadron Leader of the 4th Squadron of the 13th Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, and I have come to Nikolaev on the orders of His Excellency Marshal Suvorov to convey the military order of His Excellency Marshal Suvorov!"

As a last resort.

Wimoska had no choice but to repeat her identity again.

It seems to him that he has made his identity very clear, so the people of Nikolaev should open the city gates.

But the truth was still unexpected.

"I'm sorry, there are a lot of Ottoman spies here, we can't confirm your identity, and it's time to close the city gates, if you have anything, please go to the city early tomorrow morning, and we will open the city gates at that time!"

This sentence made Wimoska so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, okay, it was all nonsense that he had said so much before.

But he had a military order to open the gate anyway, and when he thought of this, he shouted again: "You can put a hanging basket down, I can put my military badge on it, and then you can verify my identity!"

"I'm sorry, I've already said it, now the gates are closed, and I don't have the right to open them without an order from our superiors" Wimoska resisted the impulse and shouted patiently: "You can let your superiors who can be the masters come out, we have the military order of His Excellency Marshal Suvorov, which must be immediately conveyed to the Russian command in the city, if you obstruct me again, then I will show His Excellency Marshal Suvorov, and then you will not be able to eat and go around!"

Speaking of the back, Wimoska was already completely threatening, but what he didn't expect was that the Russian troops on the city wall didn't seem to care about his threat at all, and after he finished shouting, the Russian troops on the city wall no longer had a sound.

Seeing this, if Wimoska did not understand that someone was deliberately trying to embarrass him, he would be an idiot, and when he saw this, he glanced at the soldiers on the city wall with resentment, and then drove his horse back to his ranks "Let's go and come back tomorrow" With that, a group of cavalry turned around and ran, it seemed that they were going to spend the night outside the city tonight.

Although it seems that Nikolaev seems to be under martial law in the whole city, but at the moment the Russian command in the city is completely only two or three kittens, a few days ago, the Russian high-level who was originally in the city rushed to their own troops, even the temporary commander Akhovsky personally led a regiment I don't know where it went, and now there are less than 500 Russian troops in the entire Nikolaev, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Before Akhfsky left, he changed the closing time of the gates in Mykolaiv, which are now only open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The rest of the time it was all closed, and Akhfsky announced that it was necessary to double the jǐng ring because of the recent rampant activity of the Ottomans and the proximity of Nikolaev to the front line.

And for now.

The only person who could order the opening of the city was the commander of the Russian battalion, and unfortunately this battalion commander was deaf, and Akhvsky had already explained to the deaf battalion commander before leaving, so under normal circumstances, Nikolaev would never have opened the city gates The next day Wimoska led the cavalry again to the city of Nikolaev, and from dawn in the morning until the sun was shining, the gates finally opened.

More than a hundred Russian cavalrymen appeared outside the city of Nikolaev.

Seeing the attitude of his compatriots, Wimoska held back the anger in his heart and asked: "I need someone to take me to the Russian command in the city.

Also, you need to arrange a place for my people as soon as possible."

Saying that, Wimoska handed the Praetorian Guard badge that could prove his identity to the soldier defending the city, and after the soldier carefully looked at the badge and found that it was not forged, he said to Wimoska: "Major, no problem.

I'll arrange for someone to take you to the command right away.

But I want to tell you that at the moment there are only a few dozen soldiers in charge of guarding at the command, and as for those old men, they left Nikolaev a few days ago" "What!"

Hearing this answer, Wimosca was shocked, and he immediately asked: "Where did the generals of the command go?"

"I don't know, but I heard that it seems that because the recent rebellion on the Crimean Peninsula is so fierce, the generals had to go to the Crimea to suppress it" "Damn it!"

Wimoska cursed, and then asked: "And who's in charge of the gates now?"

"Now Nikolaev is in charge of our battalion commanders.

But I advise you to write down what you want to say in advance" "Why?"

"Because our battalion commander was injured in the last Russian-Turkish war and now he can't hear anything" Seeing the calmness of this Russian soldier.

Wimoska doesn't know whether he should scold him or thank him, his uncle, when will a deaf person be a battalion commander in the Russian army, even if he was injured in the war, but shouldn't he be given a bereavement pension and dismissed after the war?

What Wimoska didn't know was that the battalion commander was supposed to be dismissed, but he didn't expect Akhfsky to learn about the battalion commander by chance, and then he happened to lack an attendant, so the battalion commander became Akhfsky's acolyte, but his rank was not canceled.

And this time, when Akhvsky left Nikolaev, out of bad taste in his heart, he left the deaf squire and appointed him the supreme commander of Nikolaev.

Although Wimoska's heart was already disgusted, he knew that he still had to go to the battalion commander now, Suvorov asked for the general order to be conveyed to the Russian command, as for who the current head of the command was, Suvorov didn't have the heart to care.

After following the defenders for a while, Wimoska and the others were taken to one of the largest buildings in the city.

"Your Excellency Major, this is the headquarters, I think you can go straight in" With that, the soldier apologized, then turned and left.

Just as Wimoska and his party walked into the building, a figure happened to walk out, looking at the rank of major on this person's shoulder, Wimoska took the initiative to ask: "Hello, I'm Janissary Cavalry Major Wimoska, and I'm on the orders of Lord Suvorov, uh" "Sorry, I don't think I can hear what you're saying" Just when Wimoska said that the mouth was bright, the man's words made Wimoska's heart want to kill the birdman in front of him, and if he didn't hear you, he would have wasted so many words by hurting himself.

However, it may have been because the man was deaf from injuries on the battlefield, so Wimoska also duly kept his respect, nodded and took out a pen and a piece of paper from his body and began to write "Hello, I'm Janissary Cavalry Major Wimoska, and this time I came to convey the order of His Excellency the Marshal to the command headquarters on the order of Marshal Suvorov, the Supreme Commander of the Russian Army on the Black Sea, who else is there in the headquarters?"

The man looked at the contents of the paper and said: "Your Excellency Wimoska.

It's a pleasure to meet you, below is the commander of the first battalion of the 8th Regiment of the Karel Infantry Corps of the 1st Army of the Russian Army, Silem, and the current command has more than 20 guards and cleaning personnel in addition to below.

The officers at the top have all left because of the fighting on the Crimean Peninsula, I'm sorry" Hearing this, Wimoska's heart suddenly became anxious, although Suvorov only asked him to pass the general order to the Russian army headquarters, but can a battalion commander represent the headquarters of the 100,000-strong army?

The answer is definitely no.

And in this way, if Wimoska sent someone back to Suvorov to tell him that he had conveyed the military order that should have been conveyed to the 100,000-strong army to a battalion commander, presumably his military career would have come to an end, and Suvorov would not have listened to his explanation or anything.

"And where did Marshal Akhevsky go.

Do you know?

” "I'm sorry, but the whereabouts of His Excellency Marshal are military secrets, and I don't know below."

"Where is the main force of the army.

You don't know?

” "I'm sorry, but the deployment of the army is also a military secret, and it is not clear below" The two of them exchanged strange questions like this, and as the questions were asked, the commander of the Sylem battalion told him that there was nothing to comment on under the pretext of military secrets.

Wimoska was on the verge of collapse.

When the answer to the tenth question is still military secrets.

Wimosca lost patience "I sue you, if you don't tell you everything you know, I guarantee that you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life!"

"Sorry, it's a military secret" Wimoska drew his saber and pressed it against Silem's neck, and seeing this, the atmosphere around them immediately became tense, and the guards of the original command immediately drew their weapons and confronted the cavalry brought by Wimoska.

But in such a situation, the Silem simply shook his head and said: "I'm sorry.

I'm just a battalion commander, and I should have been retired.

It's been more than a month since my retirement application was submitted, and under such circumstances, how do you think I have access to military secrets, and where can I know the whereabouts of those big guys?"

Well, these words of Silem made Wimoska run out of words, he shook his head, sobered up for a moment, then put down the knife and wrote: "Well, good luck, now I don't want to embarrass you, please tell me which area your First Army is deployed, I don't think it's a difficult thing to do" Seeing this question, Silem said without hesitation: "The 1st Army was split into several parts, part of which was supported to the Moldovan front, part of which was deployed in the Odessa region, and part of which was distributed over a vast area from Kherson to Krasnopirekoopsk" Silem's answer was very honest, honest to the point that Wimosca had a headache to death, joking, the First Army was divided into three parts, and the position of each part was in a state of opposite directions, and if he rushed to find the wrong one, it would take at least more than a week to run back and forth.

"Well, can you tell me where your staff has gone?"

"I can only say that you should be able to gain something along the Kherson line to the Crimean Peninsula" This sentence made Wimoska's attitude towards Silem change a little, although he did not give an accurate answer, but at least it also pointed in a direction, which was better than letting Wimosca fly around with people like headless flies.

Wimoska gave a solemn salute to Silem, and then immediately galloped out of Nikolaev with his men As Silem said, most of the top generals of the Russian command went to the area east of Kherson.

Akhovsky, on the other hand, followed Nikolavich to the city of Yamiansk, Krasnopereksk region, where the Third Army was stationed.

Walking into Yamiansk, it is obvious that there is a tense atmosphere throughout the city, with groups of Russian soldiers patrolling the streets, while more than 20,000 Russian troops stationed outside the city are sharpening their knives.

Previously, because of the deliberate connivance of the Russian army, the rebellion on the Crimean Peninsula was able to sweep the entire peninsula in a fairly short period of time, but despite the Russian army's intentional indulgence, they would not be so idiotic as to hand over Yamiansk to the hands of the rebels.

The Crimean Peninsula is connected to the European continent by an isthmus only a few kilometers wide, just north of the city of Yamiansk.

In this way, Yamiansk's strategic location has reached an extremely important point, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an iron gate for the Russian army on the Crimean Peninsula.

Although the rebels swept the entire Crimean Peninsula, every rebel dared to come and disturb here, and the 30,000 troops of the Russian Third Army in Yamiansk were no joke.

"Nikolavich, how long will it be before your men can be dispatched?"

"Your Excellency, my men are all ready, as long as you give an order, then the army will be able to dispatch immediately!"

Hearing Nikolavich's answer, Akhfsky seemed quite satisfied, he did not put the Third Army here for a good look.

"Very good, but we can't be careless, you go to make the final preparations before the battle, as soon as there is news from Ililov, then we will immediately go out, and when the time comes, we will crush those rebels to scum!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Akhvsky was ready, and in the city of Chisinau, in the Moldovan region, the commander of the Russian First Army, Brankov, was meeting with an Ottoman.

"Hello, Lord Brankoff" "Hello, Honorable Imam Selim" Blankov was apparently surprised by the presence of this emissary, who was none other than Selim, the commander of the Ottoman army's 200,000-strong army, the imam of Wallachia, the nephew of Hamid I, and the heir to the throne of the Ottoman Empire.

Root.

Mustafa.

Root.

Ahmed.

This Selim was the son of Hamid I's elder brother Mustafa III, and because Hamid I had no children and remembered that his brother Mustafa III had inherited the throne, Hamid I made his brother's son the heir to the throne.
