Chapter 347: Planning Patrols


What should come will always come, and you can't escape if you want to.

Although on this night Suvorov mobilized all the people of Nikolaev to participate in the construction of the city defense and the renovation of the embankment along the river, the work of one night did not make the whole of Nikolaev look new.

When it was dawn, Suvorov ordered the Russian cavalry to closely monitor the movements of the Ottomans and report at all times.

On the other hand, the army was ordered to renovate the walls of Mykolaiv as soon as possible, and Suvorov ordered the inhabitants to dump ash into the river outside the city to prevent the river from freezing.

Thanks to the colder winters in Nikolaev, every house here has a fireplace, and this is when the fireplace comes in handy, and the ash left over from the fireplace can effectively slow down the freezing of the river.

Perhaps because everyone knew that once the Ottomans entered the city, there would be no good fruit to eat, so the residents of Nikolaev responded to Suvorov's call.

Suvorov's heart was relieved to see the residents so cooperative, even when the residents poured ashes into the water of the two rivers outside Nikolaev.

Suvorov ordered 4,000 Russian troops to be scattered in the southern and eastern cities of Nikolaev to be responsible for boiling the water and dumping it into the river, although this method was not very effective, but now Suvorov could not care so much.

Once the river is covered with thick ice, not only will it not protect the city, but it will even make the city's defense more difficult, so Suvorov must do everything possible to slow down the freezing of the river.

If the Ottomans didn't want to survive the icy river, they had to build bridges or ferries, but this would not be able to effectively exploit their military superiority, and Suvorov wanted this effect. .............................

After the Assembling of the Nobles, Wilhelm decided to start his nationwide tour before the current Assembling of the Nobles had subsided, this time Wilhelm planned to start from Potsdam and then follow the Baltic Sea all the way east, reach the Prussian region of Western Lithuania, then go south to Bialystok and then return west, to Silesia and then along the Elbe River north, this time Wilhelm planned to complete the tour in three months.

When William informed the government headed by Locks and the military led by Henry about his travel plans.

Without exception, both sides raised objections to William's trip.

Locks directly refuted William with the excuse that "His Majesty's trip has cost a lot and will inevitably affect the funds for the expansion of the army".

Henry, on the other hand, was much more tactful, but he was also opposed to William's travel, because in his opinion many parts of Prussia were not safe at the present time, if William were to make a tour of the whole country.

If something goes wrong on the way, wouldn't it kill someone?

You must know that William is not married yet, let alone the most important heir!

The opposition of the two was directly ignored by William, in William's opinion.

So far, I don't know anything but the situation in some areas on the map and in government reports.

As the king of Prussia, it seems a bit derelict to not be able to understand the actual situation in various regions with a view to believing.

In order to persuade Locks, William deliberately decided to limit the number of his retinue to sixty, which is a bit shabby for the supreme of a powerful kingdom.

But after seeing William curtail his retinue.

Locks actually objected with the same excuse as Henry.

This made William a little crying and laughing.

In order to be able to convince Locks, William decided to use the most lascivious of the thirty-six schemes, which was the beauty scheme.

You're against Locks.

Then I'll send Karina to convince you that under the attack of Karina's little beauty, Locks will have to give in to everything.

Sure enough, the beauty shot was unusual, and after Karina was just playing tricks for a while, Locks was captured.

Looking at his granddaughter, Locks suddenly felt a feeling of inconvenience.

But promise to promise, but for William's trip.

Still, Locks made a lot of demands.

First, William's trip must be kept secret, but the commander of the garrison division in the area passing through can know in advance.

However, it is strictly forbidden to spread the word.

Second, William must stay away from the border this time, and dangerous areas such as Western Lithuania and Bohemia cannot be visited.

Third, Locks hopes that William will learn more and see more during his travels, and if there are any problems, try to come back later, and it is best not to alarm the local government without special circumstances.

Locks's three demands were reasonable in William's opinion, and William had no intention of alarming the local governments except for the border areas.

Once the local governments are alarmed, William believes that what he sees and the actual situation must be two different looks, no matter which dynasty and generation of officials are masters of whitewashing the peace!

After successfully persuading Locks, William went to Henry's mansion in person, and saw that Henry was about to persuade himself as soon as he came up, and William hurriedly took Locks out as a shield.

William and Henry said that they had won the support of Locks, but in the face of Henry's suspicious gaze afterwards, William was a little uneasy.

"I said, uncle, don't you believe me like that?

I'm telling the truth, Lord Locks is really rooting for me."

As he spoke, he saw that William's old face became red, you must know that since he was reborn, he has not been spoiled with anyone at all, thinking about his mental age of forty years old, William himself is a little ashamed.

However, when Henry saw that William was very determined, he had to put away the suspicious look on his face "Your Majesty, the minister is not against your travel, on the contrary, the minister also supports your travel.

But now that our Prussian energies are involved in many places, your travels will not be optimally protected, so that if you are taken advantage of by the petty people................

Ahem."

Speaking of the back, Henry coughed, and it was obvious that the main reason for Henry's opposition was the safety of William's travel.

In fact, William also knew about Henry's worries, but in his opinion, his safety should be no problem, you must know that the areas where William went were all Prussian garrisons, and all the officers of the Prussian army were basically appointed by William himself.

Moreover, the officers who had graduated from the Brandenburg Military Academy had always regarded Wilhelm as the object of their lifelong loyalty, and Wilhelm was confident in the fact that the officers of the Military Academy had largely filled the entire Prussian army.

The army must be in its own control, and if you master the army, you can't go anywhere in the world!

William calmly told Henry his reasoning, and in the face of William with a resolute face, Henry knew that he could not persuade William on his own.

Thinking of this, Henry was a little annoyed with Locks, how could this prime minister be so unprincipled.

If Locks hears what Henry is thinking.

It must be a wry smile, even now Locks looked at his thinning beard and smiled bitterly.

Using Karina against Locks has always been invincible, and William knows this all too well.

At last.

William succeeded in convincing Henry, and the date of the trip was set for January 1, 1790, and in any case, this Christmas was to be spent at Sanssouci Palace.

Just as William was relieved and ready for Christmas, the snowflake-like recital flew onto William's desk, and suddenly saw so many recitals, William thought that something big had happened somewhere.

He hurriedly opened the top book.

But after reading William's heart, he wanted to vomit blood, and after reading dozens of books, William found that all the reports had the same content on them.

(I'll interject a sentence below.)

There is no such thing as a recital in Europe, but as a monarchy, the minister must always have something to say to the emperor, but this kind of thing is not in the next hundred degrees, so here is replaced by a recital, and please bear with me!

) By the end, William's face was completely red.

It's all about one thing.

That's William's family.

Many of them suggested that William should ask the Austrians to send the lord of Anna to the marriage as soon as possible, while more than half of the other ministers suggested that William should choose one of the three daughters of Sanssouci Palace.

And Karina's support rate is undoubtedly the highest among the three daughters, and nearly 20 of the 50 reports here are in the hope that William will make Karina queen.

Lilisa, on the other hand, was at the bottom, with only three ministers supporting him.

As for Du Li, there are also nearly ten ministers who support making her queen.

Seeing these reports, William even had the heart to kill these ministers.

Didn't Nima see that Lao Tzu is trying his best to stabilize Austria now?

If you want to deny it, it is best for the Austrians to deny it first, so that Wilhelm can use this as an excuse to be an upright teacher.

But wouldn't it be idiocy for Prussia to veto first?

Don't these ministers even see this in order to curry favor with the people above?

William became dissatisfied with these discerning ministers.

In fact, it's no wonder that these ministers have reported that William has left Karina's three daughters in Sanssouci Palace for so long, is there anyone who can't see that William must like the three daughters.

Regardless of whether William can accept his proposal or not, it is the most important thing to show his attitude in the newspaper.

Locks has been the prime minister of Prussia for more than ten years, there is no doubt that she is the most powerful in the government, and Hans is also a rising star who is favored by everyone, so it is not surprising that the minister patted the two of them on the back, at least show his attitude in the future to be able to better contact with these bigwigs, and it is best to get the appreciation of the bigwigs and get promoted is the most important thing.

As for Lilisa, she is completely a foil.

It stands to reason that although William does not have a son because of his age, he still has a younger brother, Frederick.

Ludwig.

Carl is also sixteen years old this year.

The tradition in Europe is not the same as in China, where the younger brother also has the right to inherit, and even if the monarch dies and the heir is still young, the younger brother can inherit the throne.

William can also understand the feelings of these ministers.

Whether there is an heir or not is not the focus, the focus is that the most important thing in the officialdom is that they must determine their position and then take sides, and these reports can also be seen as a side of the ministers.

Those who hoped that William would marry the lord of Anna of Austria as soon as possible were basically centrists.

After reading these recitals, Wilhelm leaned back in his chair with a sad face and did not move, it seems that he should indeed ask Austria for someone after the year, otherwise, because this matter does not know how much trouble it will cause. ...............................................

After more than half a month of attack, the city of Lyon had become dilapidated, but this ruin was limited to the west and north cities, and Napoleon carried out the military orders given by Creech well, when Creech led his army to attack Lyon.

Napoleon ordered the army to be on guard, and then watched the play on the sidelines.

Although Creech's 30,000-strong army is many times stronger than the rebels led by Lafayette, Lafayette holds a fortified city, and although a city of Lyon has been damaged by the French army for half a month, it has not fallen, which is Lafayette's biggest bargaining chip.

After more than half a month of attacking, the French army suffered more than 6,000 casualties, of which more than 4,000 were dead.

This made the Marquis de Creech extremely chagrined, and now the prolonged inability to take the attack had filled the French army with a sense of war-weariness, if it was not possible to take Lyon before Christmas.

By then, Creech's reputation would be ruined.

Under such circumstances, Creech gritted his teeth, and he ordered the transfer of 7,000 city defenders from Napoleon's army to his command to participate in the attack, and after the troops were transferred, Napoleon was left with less than 8,000 troops, and in this way Creech still ordered Napoleon to take charge of the blockade of the east and south cities.

Seeing Creech's long-term attack, Napoleon's original favor for the marquis has also been lost.

For the reasons why Krisch did not involve Napoleon in the offensive.

Through these days of speculation.

Napoleon also understood a thing or two, but understanding did not mean that Napoleon could understand Creech's behavior.

You must know that those who died under the city of Lyon were all the elite troops of the Kingdom of France, and if one of these troops died, one would be less.

To put it bluntly, these armies are the foundation of the Kingdom of France, and Creech's move is definitely shaking the country's foundation!

Napoleon had already seen that by this time, Lafayette had also figured out the direction of the main attack of the French army, although the east and south cities still set aside a part of the defensive forces, but according to Napoleon's observations, these forces were definitely not 3,000 men.

If Creech had ordered him to attack at this moment.

Napoleon was 80 percent sure of the capture of Lyon.

But Creech actually shelved Napoleon in the cabinet, which made Napoleon's heart pile up a lot of anger.

In the army, the original headquarters of the city defense army was transferred.

Napoleon's gaze became even more gloomy.

It's okay to be jealous, but you must look at the time and the occasion, at this time, Creech is still taking care of suppressing himself, he is really dizzy!

But helplessly, Creech is the commander of the army, and his words are military orders.

If Napoleon did not obey Creech's orders, he could get Napoleon to come to the Second Army and get Napoleon out of the Second Army.

On December 13, 1789, the French army launched a large-scale attack on Lyon again, and the roaring artillery fire was deafening.

(Please allow the use of ladders to describe the following, the Napoleonic wars were played for a long time, in which once the fortress was attacked, in addition to the cannon to collapse the city wall, only the infantry took the ladder to attack from the city wall.)

I think this should also be a historical fact at that time) But when the French army attacked, the rebels at the head of the city were also very fierce and colorful, and the artillery on the head of the city of Lyon kept bombarding the French troops under the city wall, and the rebels on the wall even stuck their heads out of the wall and shot downward.

"Quick, destroy those ladders for me, and immediately burn all the oil, and bring everything I can to the city!"

Standing in a cave in the city wall, Lafayette decisively gave orders to his subordinates.

After more than half a month of fighting, not only the French army suffered heavy casualties, but also Lafayette, the rebels in the city were already small, and then thanks to Lafayette's call to all the residents of the city of Lyon, the army was re-expanded to 40,000 people, but that's it, after more than half a month of defense, the rebel headquarters is now only about 15,000 people.

If it weren't for Lafayette's deliberate rumor that the French army would retaliate after the city was broken, I am afraid that the rebels in the city would have been unable to support it for a long time, but even so, the Lyon rebels have reached the last moment.

The original 8,000 rebels stationed in the southern city led by Chalmers have been reduced to 3,000 men, and if it were not for the fear that they might break through from behind, the 2,000 troops would definitely have been pulled to the north of the city.

Harun's headquarters in the north of the city and Alexei and Gurion in the west of the city have been crippled, and Harlan and Alexei have died for their cause.

Harun's 10,000 men are now less than 2,000 people left, and Alexey and Gurion have been reduced to more than 1,000 people.

If Lafayette hadn't transferred all of Giggs's 5,000 men to the west of the city, and he himself led 10,000 people to defend the north of the city, it is estimated that Lyon would have been broken at this moment.

At this moment, Lafayette was worried that once the French army in the east and south of the city launched an attack, the rebels who could not be caught would definitely not be able to hold Lyon's forehead.

The desperate struggle between the French army and the rebels lasted for a whole day, and the French army rushed to the city dozens of times, but each time under the desperate fighting method of the rebels, the French army still could not succeed.
