Chapter 470: St. Petersburg Emissary


However, despite Kutuzov's defeat at Narva, Kutuzov was not defeated in the First World War, especially the aristocratic coalition forces, and when the news of Kutuzov's defeat reached Estonia, it was accompanied by Kutuzov's order to conscript.

At this time, the superiority of Kutuzov's policy of dividing the land was manifested, and the nobles who bought the city from Kutuzov were afraid that the army of St.

Petersburg would come and throw them into the dustbin of history, so they also donated generously, plus Kulichkov personally led 5,000 people from Tallinn to Narva, and finally helped Kutuzov stabilize his position.

However, although the position was stabilized, the offensive and defensive momentum of the entire battlefield had been distorted, and before the strength of Kutuzov's army returned to its peak, he could only passively confront Bagration.

When the news of the victory reached St.

Petersburg, it can be said that the whole of St.

Petersburg breathed a sigh of relief, and Paul I was very pleased that he was able to boldly appoint Bagration, knowing that there were many generals in St.

Petersburg who were more qualified and successful than Bagration, and that Bagration was only a brigadier general.

It can be said that the Battle of Narva could completely determine the national fortunes of the Russian Empire and the Romanov dynasty, and in this kind of national fortune war, Paul I boldly adopted Bagration in spite of many objections.

And it turned out that Bagration was worthy of Suvorov's praise for him.

Taking advantage of the arrogance of Kutuzov's army, leading the enemy's main force to the area east of Narva Bay, and then dragging the enemy here to death, and then borrowing the navy to transport troops to the enemy's rear to flank on both sides, it may sound simple, but the plan for each step must be planned in place, otherwise how can the old and spicy Kutuzov be fooled.

By edict, Bagration was promoted to lieutenant general of the empire, and at the same time was appointed commander of the Estonian regiment of the Russian Empire.

At the same time as the extraordinary battle of Bagration and Kutuzov on the Western Front, Moscow on the Eastern Front was also unwilling to be lonely.

Under the leadership of Rumyantsev, the imperial team changed the strategic goal of recapturing Moscow.

Rumyantsev reformulated his strategic plan, which aimed to completely block the rebels in the Moscow region.

In order to prevent a possible large-scale attack on Moscow by Rumyantsev, Brankoff concentrated most of the main rebel forces near Moscow, and taking advantage of this opportunity, most of the army led by Rumyantsev was marching towards the area around Moscow, except for leaving part of the army to monitor the movements of the Moscow army.

Because Brankoff attacked Moscow in order to concentrate his army.

Therefore, Brankoff did not send troops to occupy each place, but plundered and left, so that although Brankoff had enough resources, the rebels still existed like a rootless duckweed.

After the change in Rumyantsev's strategy, the situation of the rebels became even more critical, and most of the towns around Moscow were returned to the St.

Petersburg banner.

And as the weather turns colder, the crisis of the rebels comes.

Some time ago, the battle under the city of Moscow, which lasted for several months, had consumed most of the materials looted by the rebels, and after the rebels entered Moscow, although the rebels also carried out some looting in the city of Moscow, the problem of materials was still not effectively solved.

Brankoff also thought about expanding his occupation to the south and east of Moscow, but at present, Brankoff's rebel army is only about 80,000 people, and he wants to conquer the surrounding territories.

If there are fewer troops, it will not help, and if there are more, then Moscow's own defense will be weakened.

You must know that the First World War of Moscow has destroyed most of Moscow's city defense system, and the only thing the rebels can rely on now is their own military superiority.

Fortunately, Rumyantsev may have considered that the rabbit was in a hurry and biting, and if the rebels were in a hurry, something might happen, so he did not send troops to occupy the east of Moscow, which also gave Brankov a glimmer of life.

But the current situation still left Brankoff feeling uneasy at night.

Brankoff's anxiety reached its peak when he learned that the Caucasian governor of the Russian Empire in the East had responded to the request of King Qin in St.

Petersburg and that 30,000 elite imperial troops who had long fought against the Ottomans in the Caucasus would return to Moscow.

To this end, Brankov, in addition to asking for reinforcements from the Ukrainian governor-in-chief, who had always supported him, also sent emissaries to the Ottomans, hoping that the Ottomans would help him hold back the forces deployed by the Russian Empire in the east.

But at this time, the Ottoman Empire seemed to have just expanded its territory for nearly a thousand miles, and it was the time of majesty, but only Hamid I himself knew that he was suffering in his heart.

Although it looks like victory in the war against the Russian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire regained its dominance in the Black Sea region, and with the civil strife in the Russian Empire and the Empire's victory in the Russo-Turkish War, the external environment of the Empire was cleared, but financially speaking, the Ottoman Empire not only did not benefit from this time.

It even made the Empire's finances, which were already in a stalemate, even worse.

The reward and bereavement of 200,000 troops was not a small amount, and all of the newly occupied territories seized from Russia had already been severely damaged in the war, and the empire could not benefit from these newly occupied areas in a short time.

Moreover, with the victory of the Russo-Turkish War, it was further difficult for Hamid I to implement reforms in the Yeniseri, and although the old nobles and soldiers of the old army performed very poorly in the war, they were not lagging behind one by one in the post-war awards, and they also shamefully took the greatest credit for the victory of the war on their own heads.

And with the victory of the war, the opposition to the war among the Janisseris also grew, and these people who were content with the status quo believed that Russia had lost its threat to the Ottoman Empire at the moment, and that it was better for everyone to live in peace with the status quo.

So as early as the summer, Brankoff's emissaries came to Istanbul, but for several months he did not receive a positive reply.

There is a very wonderful thing in the world, and that is the butterfly effect.

It may be that Brankoff's emissaries were irritated to Hamid I, or that the Janisseris and the old aristocracy were too ugly in the distribution of benefits after the war, in short, the anger in Hamid I's heart has been aroused.

As the heir of Hamid I, Selim also did not want to see that he inherited an aging empire, so he expressed his support to Hamid I many times, and finally Hamid I made up his mind.

Originally, for the Janisseri, Hamid I was going to adopt a policy of slow transformation, after all, the Yeniseri's power was too strong and closely related to all aspects of the empire, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it would affect the whole body, so for the sake of the overall situation of the empire, Hamid I was not ready to carry out large-scale operations.

But now stimulated Hamid I believes that the Janisseri has completely become a cancer on the Empire, and if it is not removed, then the whole Empire will be dragged into the abyss by them sooner or later, so after gaining the support of Selim, Hamid I decided to start a war from within the Janisseri for radical reform. ...........................................

Seeing Kutuzov's defeat, William laughed, if anyone wanted Kutuzov to win the most, then in addition to Paul I, it was William.

The overthrow of the government in St.

Petersburg would be beneficial to Prussia in the short term, but in the long run it would not be in Prussia's interests to rule the whole of Russia by the rebels.

St.

Petersburg had sent an emissary to Prussia last month, because the road to Central Europe had been blocked, the Ukrainian Governorate and Kutuzov's occupation had completely cut off St.

Petersburg's land connection with Europe, and now relying on the Baltic Fleet, the only way for St.

Petersburg to connect with Europe was the sea.

The Russians hoped that Prussia would be able to provide a number of arms and supplies, and even Paul I, if possible, would like to hire a group of Prussian troops to fight for him.

Although the Baltic Fleet is very strong, the Kattegat Strait is already in the hands of the Prussians, and the best way for the Russians to find foreign aid is to look for it in the Baltic region, and now there are only four powers in the entire Baltic coast, namely Sweden, Prussia, St.

Petersburg and Kutuzov.

The Swedes have long been mortal enemies with the Russians because of previous wars, and in such a situation, it is a good thing that the Swedes do not stick a knife in St.

Petersburg in the back, and it is a fool's dream to expect the Swedes to provide assistance to Russia.

And the greatest hope of the Russians was pinned on Prussia.

William was very happy to see the Russians bowing their heads, and he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

The Romanov dynasty still has some heritage, not to mention anything else, the army from Petrozavodsk simply made William stunned, no one thought that the Romanov family would lay such a crucial chess piece a hundred years ago.

And since Paul I has opened a hole card, who knows if he has other hole cards, in case the Romanov dynasty has hidden a large sum of money.

Therefore, William instructed the Prussian government to negotiate terms with the Russians as soon as possible, mercenaries do not need to think about it, but everything else is easy to say.

Of course, the price of these materials must be very high, and if the Russians can't come up with the money, then it's okay to mortgage things, among which the battleships of the Baltic Fleet are very good!

These are William's exact words.
