After Blankov's army conquered Moscow, although Blankov repeatedly restrained the rebels' military discipline, the battle of Moscow had already filled the rebels with a sea of blood feuds between the rebels and the Muscovites, especially those troops who had been heavily damaged in the siege battle, and after entering the city, they launched what they considered revenge!
Brankoff had no other effective way to deal with all this than to send troops to defend the residential areas of the nobility in Moscow.
At the height of the Battle of Moscow, in order to boost morale, Brankoff once told the whole army that as long as Moscow was breached, the rebels could celebrate in Moscow for three days.
And now it's time for Brankoff to deliver on his promise.
If you look down from a high vantage point, you can see that all of Moscow is lit up with bonfires except for the inner and outer urban areas of the nobility, and most of the neighborhoods are filled with noise, screams, and cries for help.
Brankoff wanted to change all this, but he couldn't, the army is a double-edged sword, and if you can't follow his development, then you are doomed to be abandoned.
Moreover, if we blindly strengthen military discipline without appeasement, we will not get good results at all, except that the whole army will be hostile to the commander-in-chief.
The situation improved five days after Brankoff's entry into the city, when the rebels, who had exhausted their indulgence, returned to the garrison that Brankoff had assigned them, leaving behind a half-crippled Moscow.
Brankoff's envoys to various places have also departed, and these envoys will take up the burden of convincing the princes of Russia.
Brankoff, who had captured Moscow, was in a sense able to compete with St.
Petersburg, and it was up to the princes to choose.
But Blankov was thankful.
Although Rumyantsev had already joined up with the reinforcements sent by St.
Petersburg, they only had 70,000 men, and because these 70,000 men were to rescue Moscow, for the sake of speed, these troops did not carry large-scale heavy artillery and siege equipment, and in the face of more than 100,000 rebels stationed in Moscow, Rumyantsev had no choice but to wait for orders from St.
Petersburg.
Brankoff also used this precious time to redivide the rebels under his command and strengthen his control over the Moscow region.
After Rumyantsev woke up.
The commander of the reinforcements was very aware of the current affairs and handed over the military power to this old marshal, after all, Rumyantsev was the Duke and Marshal of the Reich, such a status was not comparable to that of a general, although Rumyantsev lost Moscow at the last moment, but this did not prevent him from becoming a hero in everyone's eyes!
After all, being able to defend Moscow for months with 50,000 troops and under siege by five times the strength of his own rebels is no longer an achievement that ordinary people can achieve.
When Rumyantsev's urgent mail arrived in St.
Petersburg, Paul I was completely stunned, he did not expect that Moscow would be broken at the moment before the arrival of reinforcements.
And after that, the tsar's heart was filled with infinite indignation!
This indignation was not directed at Rumyantsev, who made Paul I gnash his teeth, but Gandalf, the biggest vassal of the battle for Moscow.
"Penning, go and tell me at once, declare the Gandalf family a thief, and confiscate all the assets of the family.
All the heirs and relatives of his family will be sentenced to death immediately after they are caught!
” Paul I gritted his teeth and issued an order to destroy the Gandalf family.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the current situation in Moscow?"
A frightened Penning asked softly, standing below Paul I.
Hearing Penning's words, Paul I's brow furrowed, and then he suddenly asked: "After Ushakov's attack on Riga.
What is Kutuzov doing?
” "Your Majesty, judging from the information obtained by our intelligence officers.
Kutuzov is expanding his army in Poland and Latvia in a vain attempt to regain strength, and now the entire perimeter of Riga has been blocked by Kutuzov, and in recent times, Kutuzov has been sending his troops to engage in skirmishes with the Guards guarding Riga, and it has been reported that Kutuzov may be using the Guards headquarters in Riga to train his troops."
Penning's words made Paul I's brow furrow even tighter.
Originally, the purpose of the surprise attack on Riga was to kill Kutuzov's forces in large numbers in order to relieve the threat to St.
Petersburg, but now the purpose of the surprise attack on Riga has indeed been achieved, but the situation has not gone as Paul I imagined.
In Russian Poland, he did not bother to expand his army in spite of the local opposition, and in order not to let the rear be disturbed, Kutuzov no longer had any illusions about the attitude of those resistance forces, and in just one month, the number of opposition elements who were executed by Kutuzov's order in Russian Poland was as high as thousands.
After that, Kutuzov did not train much of the soldiers who had been forcibly recruited.
All the soldiers forcibly recruited by Kutuzov were simply issued with uniforms and weapons, and then driven to Riga to fight the Russian guards in the city.
Kutuzov is now like a caged beast, trying to get out of it by all means, even if it is covered in bruises.
After Prussia rejected Kutuzov's request for naval support, the Swedes, who were originally inclined to Kutuzov, also changed their attitude, after all, without the help of the Prussians, with the naval strength of the Swedes, even in the face of the Baltic Fleet, which was reduced by a third, the Swedes would never move, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.
In front of the Russian Baltic Fleet, the Swedish Navy is still not enough to see.
Kutuzov was completely panicked if he could not get support from the sea, it would be unrealistic for Kutuzov's army to capture Riga alone, after all, the main guns of the Baltic Fleet in the Gulf of Riga would not be a joke.
So in such a situation, Kutuzov reversed his previous decision.
In the past, Kutu wanted to run the Polish region into his own stable rear, so although Kutuzov would also send troops to suppress the rebellion, most of them were mainly appeased, after all, if you want long-term peace and stability, it is not enough to kill alone, because sometimes the blood feud cannot be resolved at all (this, I admire our great leader today, how miserable it was for many Chinese who died in Indonesia to exclude Chinese back then, but gentlemen, please look at today's report, a certain TV did its best, I just want to say to a bad TV, If you don't pat yourself, you can die!

The faces of the Han people have made you disgraced!
）。
But the current situation did not allow Kutuzov to think too much, and the defeat of Riga caused another fierce turmoil in the Russian Polish region, for which Kutuzov decided to send his most reliable troops to the Polish region to suppress it, and immediately clean up any areas that showed signs of instability.
This so-called clean-up is already somewhat close to the purge of later generations, but by this means, Kutuzov still has an effect.
In addition to the 10,000 Russian troops besieging Riga, most of them are troops conscripted from Russian Poland, and those troops who have just been forcibly recruited are directly sent to Riga and the Russian Guards to engage in skirmishes regardless of their casualties in order to improve their combat effectiveness, so as to achieve the purpose of training troops and depleting Riga's strength.
I have to say that Kutuzov's move is still very smart, and the soldiers who were forcibly recruited were severely injured because of their inexperience, but growing up in war has always been the most effective way to improve combat effectiveness.
And because of Kutuzov's methods, the five thousand Russian Guards in Riga can be said to be fighting every day, and the Guards all felt that they were not able to catch it.
Riga has repeatedly asked St.
Petersburg for help, but in the current situation, Paul does not have many reinforcements at all, and even if there are, he will not dare to act rashly, after all, there is a big problem in Moscow outside St.
Petersburg!
But Riga is indeed more important, so Paul still reluctantly sent 2,000 reinforcements to Riga, and at the same time he sincerely told the defenders of Riga that these 2,000 people are definitely the last reinforcements, and no more reinforcements will be left. ...............................................
"Appoint Rumyantsev as commander-in-chief of the Moscow Front and give him full responsibility for the war on the Moscow side!
Tell him that he's already let me down once, and I don't want him to make a second mistake, or he won't have to see me again!
” The order of Paul I officially put Rumyantsev on his shoulders again, and the old commander reinvigorated his spirits. ..............................................
In Paris, the French army led by Napoleon was launching a fierce attack on the forces of the Duke of Orleans, and Simmond and Napoleon, the two once known as "the sharpest spears under Queen Marie", collided violently.
Napoleon never underestimated Simond, and although Simmond was unrestrained in his femininity, this did not hide his military tactics.
Under the command of Simond, the rebels, although they did not seem to be optimistic about the overall situation, remained firmly in control of Paris.
However, Napoleon also made some gains, such as the acquisition of military power in the counterinsurgency army under his command.
Of course, this military power was not the command that Napoleon received by Napoleon on the orders of his commanders, but that Napoleon received the allegiance of most of the generals of this army.
