Although in the end he said a cruel order to kill, there was not a trace of emotional fluctuations on Rumyantsev's face, and the old marshal just looked indifferently at these drunks who were set up by the guards.
"You dare, I am the nephew of Count Tanner, my family has been inherited in Moscow for hundreds of years, and even the Romanov family came to Moscow with the support of my ancestors!"
As soon as he said this, he saw the hesitation on the faces of several Guards soldiers holding the drunken man, although these soldiers were subordinate to the Guards and were also under the direct leadership of Rumyantsev, but the Guards stationed in Moscow had long been in contact with the magnates in Moscow, so they were naturally no strangers to the Count of Tyner that the drunkard spat out of his mouth, and this became their motivation for hesitation.
Count Tanner is the leader of the Tanner family in Moscow, and although the title of the Tanner family is not very noble, but the power of this family has penetrated into all aspects of Moscow, in Moscow, the Tanner family is enough to rank in the top ten!
Seeing the hesitation on the faces of several Guards soldiers, the anger in Rumyantsev's heart became even stronger, the brave and warlike Guards actually degenerated into this appearance, which made Rumyantsev, who had fought for the country all his life, feel better.
"Drag me down, if you dare not carry out my orders, then you don't want your life!"
As he spoke, Rumyantsev waved his hand, and saw dozens of people quickly running out of his guards, and these guards moved very neatly, they raised their weapons one after another, and aimed their eyes at the drunks and the soldiers who were holding them.
Rumyantsev's actions obviously surprised everyone, almost everyone did not expect that Rumyantsev would choose such a time to suddenly turn around, and even those generals who wanted to come forward to intercede stopped.
From Rumyantsev's heart, he hoped to establish his authority by such means.
Although he was the marshal of the Imperial Guard, before Paul ascended the throne, Rumyantsev's main battlefield was fighting against the armies of rival countries in the border areas.
And after Paul ascended the throne, Rumyantsev played the role of an escort.
He had to sit in St.
Petersburg to control the army.
And now, the actions of Brankoff's rebels have become very obvious, their march route is directed towards Moscow, and in such a situation, for the safety of Moscow, Rumyantsev has to personally sit in Moscow to deal with the rebel offensive.
However, in addition to bringing hundreds of his own guards and 10,000 conscripts, Rumyantsev came to Moscow this time, and in addition to bringing his own hundreds of guards and 10,000 conscripts, he also had some logistical burdens, and he mainly relied on the support of the local army and the major nobles to hold Moscow.
There are only two ways to be an arm.
One is to give favors to the army, so that every soldier can feel the harmony of the commander like a spring breeze, and everyone can die for it.
The other way is to use his majesty to make the soldiers fearful, and to use cruel punishments to tell the army what will happen to those who do not obey the military orders!
As long as the generals did not want to be able to achieve the first method, but Rumyantsev never led the guards in Moscow, and it was impossible to make all the soldiers feel that they were on the side in a short time.
And now Brankoff's rebels are getting closer and closer to Moscow.
In such a situation, Rumyantsev could only take the second way, and now the appearance of these drunks could help him establish his majesty in the army, and kill the unhealthy tendencies in the army by killing a few heads.
Although there is a nephew of Count Tyner among them, Rumyantsev does not care, and sometimes the role of a chicken in killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is not for everyone, if there is not a heavyweight chicken.
How can it make monkeys feel jealous?
Soon, the soldiers of the local Moscow Guards made a rational decision, and they quickly executed the drunks, and when the severed heads were arranged in a row on the stage, everyone who saw them was terrified.
"These people dare to break the military regulations, and now I have enforced the military law, I hope this is the last time that this kind of thing that does not comply with the imperial law will be found in the military camp, if there is a next time.
Not only the soldiers who triggered the military law, but also the soldiers' superiors will be held accountable by me.
I want to tell you, I let you live, and you will live, and if I want you to die, you will not be able to do it if you don't want to!
” Looking at the few submissive generals standing behind him, Rumyantsev glared fiercely.
There are one soldier and one general, and now looking at the performance of these generals, it is obvious that Rumyantsev does not have much hope for the troops they lead.
"Brankoff's rebels have reached Kursk.
And it takes less than two months to get from Kursk to Moscow, which means that at the latest, the rebels led by Brankoff will be able to march under the city of Moscow!
The humiliation of the siege of Moscow has only happened a few times since the founding of the Russian Empire, and the fact that this great city was under the siege of rebels has never happened!
We sacrificed all the rebel strongholds along the way, because we needed to fortify Moscow and build it like a graveyard for the rebels!
I need brave soldiers, true warriors who dare to shed their blood for the Empire, great Moscow does not need a wretched guard, and I do not need those wastes to fight under my command!
” Rumyantsev's saliva had already touched the faces of several generals standing in front of him, but these generals didn't dare to let go of their faces, and they could only nod their heads in response to Rumyantsev's reprimand.
It is said that although Rumyantsev is the marshal of the Imperial Guard, these generals in front of him are all dignitaries, and they do not need to be so afraid of Rumyantsev, but before coming to Moscow, Rumyantsev had already received the holy decree of Paul I.
Paul I gave Rumyantsev full authority to deal with the defense of Moscow, and one of them was that Rumyantsev had the right to kill the nobles below the duke level in Moscow, and even the nobles above the duke could be placed under house arrest or arrested as long as Rumyantsev felt it was necessary.
With such a sword in hand, Rumyantsev naturally wanted to temper the Moscow army in a big way, and when the rebels attacked the city of Moscow, the soldiers defending the city could not have the strength to fight.
For the rebels led by Brankoff, Paul I's strategy was to shrink the defensive line, and all the Imperial Army on the way of the rebels made way for the rebels, which was a strange order, but it was very wise to cooperate with Brankoff's actions.
Brankoff's goal was Moscow, and he had no interest in the cities on his way, and the soldiers defending the city quickly retreated when they learned of the rebels' arrival, and when the rebels replenished their supplies, the Imperial soldiers appeared out of nowhere to reoccupy the previously lost city.
Brankoff is naturally insightful of Paul I's strategic intentions, but Blankov is also scornful of Paul I's strategic goals.
In this way, Paul I ensured that there would be no contact with the rebels and thus the combat effectiveness of the army, and it was also a huge pocket tactic to put the rebels under the city of Moscow, and then gather heavy troops to consume the blood of the rebels under the city of Moscow.
And the garrisons of those cities behind the rebels can also give the rebels a certain amount of harassment from the rear.
But the most important part of the strategy is that Moscow will not be breached, and Paul I is very confident that the rebels will be able to break through Moscow, and he believes that Moscow will be able to stand.
But Blankov didn't think so, although Paul I's strategy preserved those cities, but in the same way, the tactics of the Imperial Army also made Blankov breathe a sigh of relief, if the imperial ** team fought to the death with the rebels in each city, although the rebels were huge, but the marching speed had to slow down, plus the battle was extremely physically exhausting, it was impossible to say that when the rebels came to Moscow, they had become a group of tired soldiers, and now Paul's non-resistance policy helped the rebels preserve their physical strength.

Every strategy is not perfect, even the battles that are regarded as classics by later generations are full of some fatal shortcomings, when reading history, we often sigh that the losers did not seize the fighters, but on the other hand, if the losers seize the fighters and become the winners, then we have to feel sad for the original victors?
…………………………………… "Your Excellency, Paul sent Rumyantsev to Moscow, and now the defense of St.
Petersburg is in the hands of a man named Kalevsky, who was only a lieutenant colonel before Paul ascended the throne, and now he has become the commander of the city defense of St.
Petersburg" Kulickov reported the latest information in his hand to Kutuzov, who was sitting at the top, but apparently when he reported, Kutuzov's energy was not seduced by something, and he stared out the window blankly, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"
Kulickov asked twice in succession, and finally Kutuzov seemed to wake up "Kulichkov, what's the matter?"
sighed helplessly in his heart, and then repeated the information he had said before, and after listening to the information, Kutuzov nodded and praised: "You're doing a great job!
