Once the Prussians pulled out of the Main theater, the strength of the enemy facing Tuha would nearly double.
Although the Prussian 9th Division had been crippled at Sedlice, Dessau still had more than 20,000 men in two divisions, while the Austrian army in Tuha was only 40,000 men, even with more than 14,000 men under Karl's command.
Unless Tuha can bring in the 10,000 men who had been deployed in the rear as reserves.
But once the 10,000 men in the rear were brought up, it meant that there would be no maneuverable forces in the rear of the Austrian army, and if the Prussians detoured to the rear of the Austrian army, Tuha would be in a very disadvantageous position.
After intense consideration, Tuha decided not to move the 10,000 men in the rear for the time being, but it was necessary to ask Vienna for reinforcements.
Within a few months, not only did Prussia complete the conscription and mobilization of some areas, but Austria also did not rest, and a large number of peasants and veterans who had served in the Austrian army were reorganized, but because of the efficiency of the Austrian government, this part of the supplementary soldiers had not yet been replenished to the front-line army on a large scale.
After a short rest, 20,000 Austrian troops under Tuha marched on Bratna, while the 5,000 remaining in Seydlicice were to march on Bratna in three days' time, and the emissaries sent to Vienna urgently under Tuha's orders.
War is not only a competition between the two teams, but also a competition of national strength between the two countries.
Although Austria's territory was more aggressive than Prussia's, Leopold II, including his predecessor Joseph II, did not achieve much success in reforming Austria because of the strong conservative forces in Austria.
Compared to Prussia, the Austrian government was a little more old-fashioned.
At this point, it must be explained that although the militarist state is not necessarily stronger than those feudal countries in the long run, there is one thing that the militarist state cannot compare with other countries.
That is the speed of mobilization of the army and the quality of the army.
In all countries that practice the politics of the First Army, the ultimate goal of all political activities is not to think about the fundamental happiness of the people, but to carry out them for the benefit of the army.
In this regard, William did not alter the tradition passed down by the ancestors of the Hohenzollerns, who in this chaotic era there was nothing without the army.
And on the contrary, with the army, everything is at your fingertips.
This is exactly the same as the idea of the supremacy of money in later generations.
Therefore, the Prussians can proudly claim to the whole world that their country's education is the first in the world, and the combat effectiveness of their army can at least ensure that it is the top three in the world, and at the same time, the mobilization ability of the Prussian army is definitely the first in the world.
In the Prussians.
The best talent is not concentrated in the government sector.
The best people in Prussia are in the army, and all Prussians understand that only the army is the foundation of Prussia, and this will be the only criterion for Prussia in the past and in the future!
The news of Tuha's army heading north soon reached the ears of Karl, who immediately ordered the army to halt its advance and wait for the main force led by the Grand Duke of Tuha.
Naturally, the movement of Karl's troops was detected by Prussia, and the joy on Dessau's face was palpable when he learned that Karl was leading his army around the east, as he had expected.
Although Karl was not the main force of the Austrian army, after all, Karl had more than 10,000 people under his command, and he was in the measurement of Dessau.
Even if it is for the sake of Carl's men, it is worth using the traps that have been laid before, so if something happens to Carl's troops.
Then, no matter how wise Tuha is, I'm afraid he can only stomp his feet secretly.
But now Karl did not go and stopped in the southern area of Bratna.
Unlike Karl, Tuha was Austria's veteran, and it can even be said that Tuha fought no less battles than Dessau, and even better, because the conflicts on the Austro-Turkish border were constant.
So once Tuha and Karl meet, then what strategy Tuha will adopt, and whether he will detour from the east like Karl has become the biggest key.
While Dessau was worried about the movements of the people in Austria, something happened in Russia that no one had expected.
At the insistence of Paul I, the Russian government gradually relaxed the restrictions on those serfs, and at the same time, Paul I's emphasis on commerce made the commercial activities in the Russian Empire flourish to a certain extent.
But behind all this was the bloody purge of the aristocracy by Paul I.
The death of Potemkin and the attitude of Paul I towards the nobles who had offended him greatly stimulated the rebellion of the Russian army in the Black Sea region.
And with the strength of the rebels, and even after the capture of Moscow by Brakov, a part of the nobles who were dissatisfied with Paul I in St.
Petersburg came together.
These nobles were either the remnants of their own families, which had been badly damaged by a series of decrees of Paul I, or who had been purged by Paul I, and some of them, with the help of others, secretly made contact in St.
Petersburg.
In the summer, Rumyantsev's army and the rebels won and lost a series of battles, but in the long run, Rumyantsev should be able to achieve the final victory, after all, the rebels are dead one and one is missing, and Rumyantsev will be able to get a steady supply of troops from the territory under the government of St.
Petersburg.
Moreover, the Caucasian governor of the Russian Empire actively responded to the edict issued by St.
Petersburg, and 20,000 elite Caucasian mountain troops were rushing to Moscow day and night, and the last communication showed that this force could reach the eastern part of Moscow in a few days.
Although Blankov sent troops to the area around Moscow in an attempt to capture them, Rumyantsev's-for-tat efforts made Brankov's operations ineffective, and even the towns occupied by the rebels were sparsely populated.
So the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements from the Caucasus is good news not only for Rumyantsev.
The same good news was for Paul I.
In addition to the Moscow battlefield, under the leadership of Bagration, nearly 30,000 Russian troops firmly stifled Kutuzov's offensive.
Even after the summer, the Russian army led by Bagration had regained the territory of the former St.

Petersburg region and invaded Estonia, judging from Bagration's military reports, there may be a great hope of recovering the whole of Estonia before the arrival of winter.
These two aspects of good news stimulated Paul I to a certain extent.
As mentioned earlier, the rapid progress of the rebel armies of Kutuzov and Blankov caused panic in St.
Petersburg, and even Paul I had to make some compromises with the aristocracy under such circumstances.
But now the good news from the two battlefields gave Paul I hope that the rebels on both sides would be annihilated, so some of the shelved bills were once again taken seriously by Paul I, and the most important of them was the abolition of serfdom.
Either way.
Paul I was actually an emperor, and Paul I's life was not as luxurious as his current Catherine II, and Paul was also diligent in state affairs in terms of government affairs.
Some of the policies promulgated by Paul I after he came to power also gave hope for the future life of the already numb and poor people and serfs at the bottom of Russia.
But perestroika was always carried out on the basis of encroachment on vested interests, and Paul's emphasis on the abolition of serfdom largely threatened the interests of the vast majority of the Russian aristocracy.
Russia was a country of serfdom, and even at the beginning of the twentieth century, parts of Russia remained serfdom.
This was rare in Western countries at the time.
And for serfdom.
Every promising tsar saw that serfdom was no longer suitable for the Russian Empire with the development of the times, but no one could change the system of the Russian Empire.
The main reason for this is the strong conservative power of the aristocracy in Russia.
Although Russia is a centralized monarchy, Russia's territory is too large, and due to the influence of the times, the central government of the empire cannot effectively govern the whole country, so the emperor can only pin his hopes on the aristocracy that is deeply rooted in various places.
In Britain, France, Austria and Prussia, serfdom was abolished.
There are two main reasons for this.
One aspect is the awakening of the plebeian class, which was the first country to produce the bourgeoisie.
The British overthrew the royal family hundreds of years ago under the leadership of the Parliamentary Army, and the main reason why the British royal family at that time was overthrown was the desire for happiness and freedom of the British people.
On the other hand, the power of the royal family is strong.
On the one hand, the abolition of serfdom in France was due to the fact that many people in France, as the country closest to England at that time, were influenced by the ideas of its neighbors on the other side of the Channel, and on the other hand, the rulers of France saw the benefits of abolishing serfdom.
So in this case, Louis XIV would abolish serfdom despite the opposition of the nobility of the country, and who was Louis XIV?
That is the man known as the Sun King, during the reign of Louis XIV, the monarch of France ** developed to the peak, and the aristocracy could not compete with the royal power even if they were in a group.
In this respect, both Austria and Prussia were like France, and Joseph II's abolition of serfdom was supported by his mother and prime minister, and even the most rebellious Hungarians did not dare to disobey the orders of Vienna during the lifetime of Queen Theresa.
As for Prussia, as a militaristic supreme country, and with the monarch in control of the whole army, how could those nobles risk their lives to contend with William, of course, the suppression of the rebellion of the Marquis of Morakot actually played a role in killing chickens and monkeys to a certain extent.
Unlike all other Western countries, although the Romanov family was the imperial family of the empire, Mikhail's accession to the throne relied on the unanimous recommendation of all the nobles in Russia, and the Romanov royal family did not have a lot of power in their hands.
Later, despite the desire of successive tsars to strengthen the centralized system, and some success, they still could not compete with all the aristocratic classes.
Even Catherine II, after plotting to assassinate Peter III at that time, carried out a certain degree of purge within the Romanov dynasty, which to a certain extent contributed to the weakening of the imperial power. 、 Behind Catherine II's plot to usurp the throne, in fact, the real reason was that Peter III harmed the interests of the Russian aristocracy.
So the nobles needed to find someone to help them depose this emperor.
At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, Russia sided with Austria and France, which also won financial aid from France and Austria for the Russian aristocracy, but after Peter III came to power, he actually sided with Frederick the Great.
After the change of flags in Russia, the nobles had to repay the money they had previously owed, even if they did not receive any financial assistance.
After all, the financial aid of France and Austria was not taken for nothing, it was all mortgaged with things.
And the change of banner of Peter III instantly caused all the nobles to suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, in such a situation, Catherine II will arrange everything in a short period of time and calmly complete the usurpation of the throne.
Otherwise, how could Catherine II, a Germanic woman, accomplish such a move in Russia, even if her mistresses were officers of the Janissaries!
Although Catherine II's rule over the Russian Empire was called the centralization of the Russian Empire and was developed to a symbol, these rights were concentrated in the hands of Catherine II.
As for the Romanovs, the royal family not only did not get benefits, but was even suppressed by Catherine II from all sides.
And after that.
The rise to power of the Romanov royal family was developed by Paul I, but because of Paul's purge, some nobles also sided with Paul, although there was not yet room for full rebellion, but it also put the power of the Russian Empire in jeopardy.
So although it seems that the Russian Empire is expected to defeat the two rebel armies of Kutuzov and Brankov and achieve a revival, anyone who has studied the Russian Empire in depth knows that Russia has become a crater, but now the contradictions between the emperor and the nobility have temporarily died down because of the rebels.
But it is believed that once the rebels are completely wiped out, the emperor will be in power.
Then there will definitely be a life-and-death struggle between the emperor and the nobles.
And now that the two rebel armies have not been wiped out, Paul I has put the abolition of serfdom on the agenda, which really stimulates all the nobles.
In a society of serfdom, it was common for the children of the nobility to serve as officers in the army, and the soldiers were composed entirely of serfs, which created a very interesting situation, that is, in the family the serfs were the slaves of the nobles, and in the army the serfs were the subordinates of the nobles.
Moreover, if a nobleman serves as an officer, then most of the soldiers under his command must be serfs in his own family.

Of course, except for the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, which was recruited from ordinary civilians, how could those lowly serfs become the guards of His Majesty the Great Emperor.
Except for some of the officers of the Praetorian Guard, who were promoted from the common people, most of the others were also the children of nobles.
"Your Excellency Pan Ning, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has gone to the slums in the city to visit those poor people again?"
In the garden of Penning's home in St.
Petersburg, two people were sitting quietly on chairs in the garden, and one of them was silent for a while before asking Penning.
Hearing this, Penning frowned and said: "Kazaviv, your courage is really too great, how can you inquire about the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor!"
Looking at the displeased look on Penning's face, Kazaviv hurriedly nodded and said with a flattering smile: "Your Excellency Panning, you see, I'm talking a lot again, but you also know that I'm a poor person, of course, everyone knows that I'm not a broken mouth, but I have to say something, and stuffy in my heart will suffocate me!"
As he spoke, Kazaviv looked closely at the look on Penning's face, only to see that Penning calmly picked up the teacup after listening to Kazaviv's words and said: "Say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't, as an old friend, this is my warning to you!"
"That's, that's, you're right!"
After smiling, Kazaviv turned to say: "Your Excellency Penning, I heard that you have bought two more estates in Rahtenbohia?"
"Oh, how do you know?"
"Hehe, Your Excellency also knows, I just like to inquire and make friends, not only two days ago I heard that you bought hundreds of serfs in the market and said that you were going to send them to the newly bought manor in Rahtenbohia!"
Hearing Kazaviv mention his manor and serfs, Panin's face suddenly became a little bitter, and this look was naturally noticed by Kazaviv, who had been paying attention to Panin.
"Kazaviv, it's not the right time for my serf to buy it!
For the sake of you and my friends for many years, I also advise you not to buy serfs again during this time."
Hearing Penning's words, Kazaviv's face showed a look of surprise and half-truth "What do you mean, Your Excellency?
If there are no serfs on our estate, then who will work for us, those untouchables have a very short lifespan, if we don't add some people properly, do we have to take care of the manor ourselves?
