"Your Excellency, I think the embarrassment of your country can be understood, of course, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of our country can also understand, since you have asked your country to mediate, then His Royal Highness the Prince Regent naturally has also expressed something, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of our country is willing to present His Majesty William of Prussia as the Holy Roman Emperor, and Alexander is also willing to provide Prussia with a batch of military horses and supplies free of charge!"
In the words of this envoy, except for Alexander's willingness to be the first to proclaim William as Holy Roman Emperor, Dessau did not look down on the rest of what he said.
Is Prussia short of horses?
The answer is obviously no, the occupation and Holstein and Schleswig, together with the original horse farms in Prussia, every year the Prussian army received a steady supply of war horses, and it can even be said that the Prussian army had no less war horses than in Russia, but much more than in England and France.
The total strength of a Prussian integrated division was about 13,000 men, of which 2,500 were regular cavalry, and the proportion of cavalry was one-fifth, while in France it was one-sixth and in England one-tenth.
Therefore, there is no shortage of war horses in Prussia at present, and as for the supplies, it is even more nonsense, unless Alexander offers those treasures in the Habsburg warehouse, otherwise with Alexander, he can get something good!
Don't forget, Alexander has been driven out of Vienna now, and there is only one Wagram under his actual control.
"Your Excellency Marshal, the current situation, even if I don't say it, I think you know it, no matter how many conditions are offered at this time, there is some deception, and my lord Alexander is naturally a sincere gentleman and is not willing to deceive anyone, so there is not much that our army can come up with at the moment.
However, His Royal Highness the Regent has already made a decision, as long as your country mediates in time, until the mediation is successful.
His Royal Highness Alexander will do his best to meet the needs of your country!
” What this messenger said had the smell of an empty glove white wolf in it, after all, Alexander couldn't get anything out at the moment, but he still wanted the Prussians to help him, what else could this be an empty glove white wolf?
However, for Dessau, he was not afraid that Alexander would not give benefits, or that he was not afraid that Alexander would repay his debts.
Joke.
Did Alexander dare to settle accounts with Prussia?
You must know that Prussia did not interfere in the current civil war in Austria because Prussia was currently busy consolidating its rule over the newly occupied areas, and if Alexander dared to play tricks with Prussia, then there was no need for Prussia to send troops, as long as Prussia gave Karl some military assistance, guaranteeing that Karl would send troops to destroy Alexander.
"Okay, but it's easy for my country to intervene.
That is, once the mediation is successful, then Alexander must cede to Prussia some of the small states of the Habsburgs in the Rhine in the name of the Austrian regent, and at the same time, once His Majesty the King inherits the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, then Alexander must go to the court in person!
” Dessau's mind turned, and he came up with two conditions.
At this time, Dessau was not afraid that there would be objections from the people below or from the Brandenburg side, after all, Alexander only asked Prussia to mediate and did not send troops, and moreover, as the commander of the side.
In this matter, Dessau still has the right to change at the right of opportunity.
Hearing Dessau's words, the messenger only thought for a moment and then agreed.
Subsequently, after the departure of the envoy, Dessau, on the one hand, arranged for the news to be delivered to Brandenburg quickly, and on the other hand, immediately sent people to Vienna to make contact with Karl's side. ..................................
The Spanish Peace Division arrived in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and in Lisbon, the British government sent an envoy who arrived before the Spaniards.
This time the Spaniards negotiated peace.
It can be said that the Spanish government and the opposition are quite aggrieved, but what can Spain do now, France has now been attacked by the coalition forces under the city of Paris, and Spain is in turmoil, if there is no peace at this time, when the French alliance that resists the north of Spain is finished, how can Spain resist the coalition forces on its own.
Inside the city of Lisbon.
The Portuguese government seemed to be aware of the resentment of the Spanish mission, so they did not hold a large welcome banquet.
Unlike the Spaniards, the British mission to Lisbon was beaming with joyful smiles.
Although Spain did not engage in a large-scale war with Britain after retaking Gibraltar, the two sides continued to engage in naval warfare.
And with the Strait of Gibraltar under Spanish control, British trade in the Mediterranean was devastated.
Now that the Spaniards have demanded peace, and are still willing to sit down at the negotiating table after the British have made conditions, it is undoubtedly great news for the British.
The British negotiating mission was led by Sir North, the son of the former British Prime Minister, and his family was considered a wealthy family in the British government.
This time Pitt gave Sir North a simple task, that is, to negotiate with the Spaniards on the preliminary terms that Britain had previously proposed, and that concessions would be limited to acceptable terms, since England was the victorious power, and the British had to give Prussia and Holland a share of the benefits they had taken from the Spaniards.
Then in Lisbon, the British and Spanish diplomatic corps began to deploy their own troops on a battlefield that had not yet seen the smoke of war, and although Spain was essentially the equivalent of a defeated country suing for peace, no Spaniard would have thought so.
Although the British have blocked the connection between the Spanish mainland and the overseas colonies, this does not mean that the Spanish army has been defeated, you must know that the Spanish army has not suffered many casualties at all, except for the defeat of the 20,000 troops sent to support the French in the Austrian Netherlands.
The thousands of casualties in the occupation of Gibraltar were not a heartbreak for the Spaniards.
Around the question of whether Spain belonged to the defeated country, the two sides went back and forth, and at the negotiation table, the political elites of these respective countries also ignored their usual elegance and demeanor, and the Portuguese who once made a fuss at the negotiation site could not stand it.
It was in this atmosphere that the negotiations in Lisbon lasted for more than a week.
"Sir North, those Spaniards are still biting the excuse that Spain is not a defeated country, it's really exciting!"
Standing beside North, a member of the British mission said with an indignant look on his face.
"Huh.
This is nothing, in fact we have been talking for more than a week, and the reason why decisive progress has not yet been made is not in Paris, if our army takes Paris now, I am afraid that the Spaniards will immediately make concessions!
Now we're all waiting, so don't rush.
But remember not to relax, the attitude must be strict, and do not let the Spaniards have a fluke mentality in their hearts!
” Hearing Sir North's words, the Englishman hurriedly said yes.

The battle in Paris, which Sir North is concerned about, is now at the most critical time.
Immediately after breaking through the French camp outside Trapp, Rumorin led his army to reinforce Arman, without waiting for Rumorein's reinforcements to arrive.
Yarman's 14th Division, however, was in an extremely dangerous situation for a while.
Several charges by more than 2,000 French cavalry directly caused the Prussian 56th Infantry Regiment to be broken through by the French cavalry except for a few main fronts.
And these French cavalry, having broken through the interception, immediately rushed to the Prussian army, which was besieging Prince Condé.
Fortunately, due to the limitations of roads and distances, these cavalry were not able to exert their maximum combat effectiveness, otherwise, I am afraid that Yarman would have a great headache.
And at this moment, Yarman also lived up to his previous composure.
Originally, he thought that with the siege of Prince Condé and the command center of the French Fourth Army, the rest of the French troops would definitely not be able to make effective judgments and would be at a loss.
But now, the development of the war situation has clearly turned Yarman's original assumption upside down.
Although there was indeed some small confusion in the French army at the beginning, as the Prussian army did not completely overwhelm the Prince of Condé at the first time, all the French troops who reacted began to reinforce the position of the Prince Condé.
This also doubled the pressure on the main force of the 14th Division besieging Prince Condé for a time.
"General, the 56th Infantry Regiment has collapsed, the enemy's cavalry has rushed behind our army, and our army must make a defense!"
At this moment, by Yarman's side, a staff officer said anxiously to Yarman.
The news just came that the 56th Infantry Regiment had broken through even the last few fronts in its hands by the French cavalry, the 56th Infantry Regiment collapsed, and the 2,000 French cavalry were also rushing towards the back of the Prussian army in a reverse trend.
"Calm down, don't panic, order the 27th Cavalry Regiment to attack, and the target is those French cavalry!
Tell them.
I don't have any reserves left on my hands, so don't count on my reinforcements!
” Yarman said coldly.
When the 56th Cavalry Regiment asked him for reinforcements, although Yarman replied that there was no reserve, in fact, Yarman still held the last formed army in his hands.
That was the 27th Cavalry Regiment.
But Yarman would not have sent the 27th Cavalry Regiment out at all before, on the one hand, this force was his only reserve, and he had to use this cavalry regiment at a critical time, and on the other hand, if it was limited by space, even if the 27th Cavalry Regiment was sent to reinforce the 56th Infantry Regiment, it would not change the situation of the battle at all, after all, the limitation of space stifled the development of cavalry.
And now, although those French cavalry broke through the resistance of the 56th Infantry Regiment, Yarman believed that after more than an hour of fighting, the strength of these French cavalry had been almost exerted, and even if there was still some momentum, it was only the end of the strong line, and at this time, a new force like the 27th Cavalry Regiment could play a role.
As for the fifty-sixth infantry regiment?
God forbid, although Yarman is not a hard-hearted man, but the current situation does not allow him to have any soft-heartedness, and everything can only be for victory.
After giving the order, Yarman continued to watch the battle taking place in the middle of the road, and it was there that the battle was decided.
In the middle of the road, the Prince of Condé could no longer care about the protection of the guards, and the old prince drew the magnificent saber at his waist and fought the Prussian army.
As the head of the Condé family, even though the old prince is now old, he is still agile, even in the face of a small phalanx of three Prussian soldiers, the prince of Condé can appear to be at ease.
"Don't all be here to protect me.
Go and protect my banner and the flag of the legion, and don't let the flag fall!
” While attacking a Prussian soldier in front of him, the Prince of Condé was still shouting.
Although he was in the middle of the battle, his eyes were firmly fixed on the huge flags on the carriage, which were the soul of an army, so Prince Condé would not allow any accidents with these flags.
But at this time, in fact, Kong Dai was already struggling to support it.
Although he didn't realize it at first, now that he had been fighting for a long time, Prince Condé found that he was gradually becoming a little overwhelmed.
"I'm old, I'm old, I'm still high-spirited after a night of fierce fighting, but I didn't expect that I can't lift the blade now!"
Prince Condé laughed at himself a little in his heart.
And it was in the middle of Prince Condé's distraction.
I saw a Prussian soldier opposite him suddenly raise the muzzle of a black hole, and saw a rifle aimed at Prince Condé and fired.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, so crisp and indifferent..................
A smile appeared on the face of Prince Condé, who had been shot in the chest, but he had not given up at this time, and saw that the old prince did not know where to surface his strength, and actually jumped to the Prussian soldier in front of him, and then cleanly picked up the bayonet in the soldier's hand.
Plunged his own saber directly into the chest of this Prussian soldier.
The number of Prussian soldiers was five times that of the French army, and the suddenness of the Prussian attack was able to support it until now, and it has to be said that although Prince Condé was not an excellent general, there was no doubt about a qualified commander.
But when he stabbed the Prussian soldier, the violent activity caused the Prince of Condé to bleed profusely in the chest, where he had just been shot.
And the strength of Prince Condé's body is also constantly draining outward like blood.
The Prince of Condé staggered and fell to the ground, seeing that the Prince of Condé was like this.

The soldiers behind him hurriedly rushed towards Prince Condé, but seeing that Prince Condé, the big boss of the French army, was knocked to the ground, how could the Prussian soldiers around him let those French rescue him.
The Prussian soldiers who rushed up shouted slogans and launched a fierce attack on the French soldiers.
When the Prince of Condé lay on the ground, the battle was over, because the news of the death of the Prince of Condé spread from the mouths of the Prussian soldiers to the battlefield, which directly caused all the French troops to begin to waver. ...................................
"Withdraw!
Retreat in the direction of Paris!
” Seeing that the situation was irreparable, many French generals began to order their troops to retreat.
The Prince of Condé had already died.
It would be useless to continue fighting here, after all, after the annihilation of the Prince of Condé, the Prussian army quickly relented.
As for these retreating French troops, Yarman simply ordered the army to pursue them appropriately.
After all, although the French army was defeated, but their grassroots troops were still there, at this time, if the Prussian army pursued too fiercely, it was difficult to guarantee that these French soldiers would not fight to the death, and the rabbit was in a hurry, not to mention that these were the elite of the French army with a lot of combat experience.
When the battlefield gradually subsided, the army led by Rumorin also rushed here, and Yarman did not complain about the fact that Rumorim appeared late.
Although the 14th Division suffered a lot of casualties, the battle was won after all.
When he saw the body of Prince Condé, Rumori was still shocked, and then ecstasy "Yarman, you are really amazing, you and your Fourteenth Division are great heroes of the kingdom!"
After a moment of rejoicing, Rumorim immediately commanded his army and Yarman's army and began to march towards Paris.
In contrast to the victories of Rumulin and Yarman, Ferdinand Jr. is in a bad situation right now.
Ferdinand Jr. had previously believed that his army was elite, and that field warfare was the strength of the Prussian army, and that there was no possibility of defeat.
Under the command of Napoleon, the French army gave full play to the strength of their mobility ability, and they took advantage of Prussia's shortcomings in the need to hold the front, and began to intersperse with constant detours, which directly led to the loopholes in Ferdinand's army.
"Very good, now is the time for a decisive battle, tell all the soldiers that our army will win this battle!
God bless France!
” After Napoleon gave the military order, the French army pressed all the armies, and the small loopholes that were previously located on the left flank of Prussia were constantly weakened intentionally or unintentionally by Napoleon.
And because of the fierce battle before, little Ferdinand actually ignored this fatal loophole.
Napoleon used all his strength to press the left flank of the coalition army, and the second division of the Reich there was already somewhat overwhelmed.
