The British built forts on the north and south sides of Dayton, and in previous battles, the Continental Army had not targeted Dayton.
Therefore, the two fortresses did not suffer much damage.
After Monroe's order was issued, on the one hand, the British army tried their best to resist the Continental Army pouring into Dayton to provide cover for Monroe's retreat, and on the other hand, Monroe immediately sent a herald to order the British troops stationed in the fort north of Dayton to prepare to respond.
Monroe was ready to lead the army to retreat, but apparently the Continental Army did not want them to leave calmly, and Washington gave the army a death order, that is, to eliminate the British troops in the city of Qington, and not let the British escape from the city of Dayton!
Late May 1794 The city of Dayton was breached by the Continental Army led by Washington, and Monroe hurriedly fled to the fort north of Dayton to hold on, and after conquering Dayton, Washington could not march for a while, after all, before the two forts outside Dayton were removed, the march was simply nonsense.
And on the third day after Washington conquered Dayton, Stewart, who was rushing to Dayton, also received an urgent letter from Monroe.
"Monroe, that idiot, he actually lost Dayton!
He has been reduced to the point where he has lost the face of the brave British ** team!
” Stewart scolded fiercely.
"Order the army, stop the march immediately, and immediately send scouts to Dayton to reconnoitre, and be sure to give me a thorough understanding of the details of the rebellion in the Continental Council!"
More than 2,000 British troops on the march halted their advance by Stewart's orders.
Just as Dayton was conquered by the Continental Army, Brunech also stared at the situation map hanging on the wall, on this situation map, the starting point and departure route of the Continental Army had been marked, and the British army's troop deployment and town size were also clearly displayed on the situation map.
"The Continental Army is expanding so fast.
It was unexpected!
Scharnhorst, who do you think will be able to gain the upper hand in the current wrestling between the Continental Army and the British Army?
” Bruneke asked the man standing beside him, and it was Scharnhorst.
Among the young generation of generals in the Prussian army, who was most valued by William.
Then Scharnhorst can undoubtedly occupy the top three, knowing that among all the divisions of the entire Prussian army, Scharnhorst, who previously served as the third division of the Prussian army, is the youngest division commander.
Later, under William's deliberate promotion, Scharnhorst became the head of Prussia's attack on the Main River Valley, commanding three divisions of the Prussian army to attack the Main River Valley.
But later, because William officially appointed Dafilia as commander-in-chief of the Prussian Main Front.
In this case, the young and ambitious Scharnhorst caused a lot of conflicts on some issues in Dafilia, although there was no violent conflict between the two on the surface, but secretly you went back and forth quite frequently.
Under these circumstances, Wilhelm wanted not to affect Prussia's expansion of the Main River and the Rhine River basin, but also to protect Scharnhorst.
After Dafilia's conquest of Bavaria, Scharnhorst was transferred from the position of division commander of the Prussian 3rd Division to the North American colonies, where he served as the commander of the 1st Division of the North American colonies.
Although depending on the situation, William seems to have favored Dafilia in the secret battle between Scharnhorst and Dafilia, and even let his confidant leave North America.
But in fact, the entire Prussian top knew that William's arrangement of Scharnhorst was not only not demeaning.
Or even reuse.
Don't forget, the North American colonies of Bruneke have been seeking to return to Prussia proper, and if William agrees to Brüneke's return to the mainland, then Scharnhorst, who has been in the North American colonies for some time, will undoubtedly be the best successor to Bruneck.
Previously, in order not to make Scharnhorst upset because of his arrangement, William did tell Scharnhorst the meaning behind this arrangement unmistakably.
Looking at the Prussian high-level, it can be said that there are very few generals who can be so favored by William, and after this incident, there is no doubt that everyone knows that in the next twenty years, this Scharnhorst will definitely occupy a place among the Prussian high-level!
And for Shane burned to death his coming.
After all, Bruneke has been in the North American colonies for more than ten years, and these ten years have certainly made Bruneke have a certain affection for this land, but at the same time, it also makes Bruneke more eager to return to Prussia itself.
After all, with Brunecke's more than ten years of hard work in the North American colonies, no matter what, after returning home.
William will arrange him properly, even if he cannot be the head of the military department and the general staff, but it is not difficult to become the first few people in the Prussian army.
Moreover, Bruneke knew very well about the arrangement for Scharnhorst to come to North America to prepare to take over his class, after all, there was no reason for William to cut off his own arms and send his cronies to North America just because of the unspeakable contradictions between Scharnhorst and Dafilia.
In addition, with the arrival of Scharnhorst, Bruneke also received a secret letter from William.
In the letter, William instructed Bruneke to teach Scharnhorst well, and at the same time to familiarize Scharnhorst with the affairs of the colony as soon as possible.
Reading between the lines undoubtedly gave Brunecke a great hint.
Bruneke looked at the slightly young Scharnhorst in front of him, and he sighed in his heart.
You must know that Scharnhorst is only thirty-nine years old this year, although Brüneke was only in his forties when he was sent to the North American colonies, but when Brüneke thought that the person in front of him, who was seventeen years younger than himself, was about to take over the burden of the North American colonies from his own hands, Brüneke still rose with infinite emotion.
Generations of talented people come out, and a generation of new people replace the old!
"Your Excellency the Governor, I think our previous plans should be changed, Washington is not an easy adversary, and the British forces in the Governorate of Pittsburgh are quite scattered.
In this case, I think that not only should we not take action against the Continental Army for the time being, but we should also engage with the Continental Congress!
” "Oh, tell me your reasons!"
Bruneke lit the cigar in his hand, took a deep breath, and said to Scharnhorst.
Hearing Bruneck's words, Scharnhorst said calmly: "Your Excellency the Governor.

According to our intelligence, the main force of the British army is massing towards Ohio, but it is well known that although Ohio has the largest number of British troops in all of the Governorate of Pittsburgh, at the same time the British rule in Ohio is not firmly established.
Even because the British invasion of Ohio was based on their seizure of the Indian territory.
So in Ohio, the British don't have a geographical advantage.
Of course, if the British had stuck to Columbus, it might have been a different story, but according to our intelligence, the British Governor-General, His Excellency Stewart, did not take the advice of holding on, but ordered the mobilization of troops to take the initiative to destroy the Continental Army!
We all know that.
The basis of British rule in Ohio was Columbus, and even if they were traveling from Indiana to Ohio, they could not bypass Dayton, where the British had deployed heavy troops.
But as long as Washington has the heart, then he can send a small army to bypass the line set up by the British in Dayton and pounce directly on Columbus!
According to my estimates, the British will only have an army of no more than 300 men left in Columbus, plus the British despise the Continental Army.
If I were Washington, I would definitely send an army of a thousand men to bypass Dayton and launch a surprise attack on Columbus!
Even if it can't conquer Columbus in one fell swoop, it will definitely put Dayton's British army in a dilemma and suffer from the enemy!
” As Scharnhorst spoke, Bruneke only listened quietly, and when Scharnhorst finished speaking, the cigar between Bruneck's fingers burned nearly half.
"Scharnhorst, there is some truth in what you say, but have you ever thought about which side we are on in this war, but our central purpose is to fight for the interests of Prussia!
And even if it's really as you say.
The British army is at a disadvantage, but what can we get in exchange for supporting the Continental Congress for us?
Or what kind of benefits it can bring to the Kingdom of Prussia!
Don't forget, the Prussian program of emancipation of the black slaves was, to some extent, completely contrary to Prussian interests!
” After Brüneke finished speaking.
Scharnhorst replied with a serious face: "Your Excellency the Governor, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but I think that Britain is the largest country in the world after all, even if the British army is not a level of opponent compared to Prussia, but if the Continental Congress really attracts the attention of the British, then it will not be long before the British will do everything possible to destroy the Continental Congress, just like last time!
In this case, do you think that the Continental Congress will be able to counter the national power of the British?
” "Of course not, if the Continental Parliament really shakes the whole country, then I think it will definitely be the death of the Continental Parliament, after all, Britain's power is not something that a single continental parliament can confront it!
So since you also think, why did you put forward a proposal to support the Continental Congress?
” "Your Excellency, the enemy of our enemies is our friend!
China and Britain have formed a pattern of two tigers competing in Europe, and in this case, Prussia must completely overturn the big stone of the British if it wants to rise!
Although it is said that the Continental Parliament cannot contend with the strength of the British, why not be able to consume the strength of the British through the Continental Parliament!
At present, nearly 11 percent of the British government's annual fiscal revenue comes from the North American colonies, which can be said to be quite high.
In this case, we support the Continental Congress to defeat the power of the British Viceroyalty of Pittsburgh, and even help the Continental Congress to capture most of the Viceroyalty of Pittsburgh, so even if the British mobilize a large army to annihilate the Continental Congress in the future, then I think most of this Pittsburgh Governorate will also be in ruins!
We support the Continental Congress, and at a very small cost, we can get the power that we need to use tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops on a frontal battlefield to achieve, and this is a very good deal!
” After Scharnhorst's words, Brünecke snuffed out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray on the table in front of him and said: "Scharnhorst.
You are very good, and you really deserve the value of His Majesty the King, and in this way, I want to hand over this large colony to you, and I can rest assured!
” After speaking.
Brüneke didn't wait for Scharnhorst to say anything more and let Scharnhorst leave.
Although there were still many questions in his stomach, and he was even puzzled by Bruneke's last words, after seeing Bruneke's actions, Scharnhorst silently left Bruneke's office.
As soon as Scharnhorst left, Brunecke summoned an acolyte and asked him to invite the emissary of the Continental Council to his office. ..............................................
Brankoff led an army of 50,000 to St.
Petersburg, and the Russian towns along the way were destitute.
After all, as long as there are some far-sighted people in the current pattern, it is clear that the once glorious Romanov dynasty may really be finished this time, and in this case, there are naturally very few people who are foolish and loyal.
The downturn in the towns along the way not only filled Brankoff's mind with complacency, but also filled his army with an air of optimism. among these rebels.
It is not only the army that started with Brankoff in the Black Sea, but it can even be said that the veterans who raised the counterflag on the Black Sea according to Blankov are only half of the current rebel army, and many more soldiers were recruited after Blankov captured Moscow.
For these ordinary soldiers, they didn't know what was the righteousness of the monarch and the like, they only knew that Brankoff had the upper hand at the moment, and the Romanov dynasty was now the sun about to set, exuding the sadness of dusk.
In such a situation, they are naturally willing to go with the stronger side to ensure that they can succeed in getting something that they once craved in the future.
In the south of St.
Petersburg in Tongchuan.
This is the first line of defense that Alexander laid out to defend St.
Petersburg, and it is certainly the last line of defense, because behind Tongchuan is St.
Petersburg.

Garrisoned in Tongchuan was Bagration, the only famous general that the Russian Empire could count on, and he led the last and all the strength of the Romanov dynasty, an army of 27,000 men.
After the news of Blankov's army going north reached St.
Petersburg, the whole of St.
Petersburg fell into a frenzy, and countless merchants and nobles began to move their families like crazy, and ordinary people who did not have the strength and ability could only stay in their homes and pray to God all night, hoping that God would bless their own safety.
However, Alexander, who was in the palace in St.
Petersburg, was neither busy transferring his possessions nor praying day and night like ordinary people.
Alexander was sitting in his office in a new full imperial tsar's gown.
Alexander knew that he had become the center of attention of all of St.
Petersburg.
At this moment, he must not be in a mess, otherwise I am afraid that the surrendering parties hiding in St.
Petersburg will sell him to Brankoff before Brankoff's army attacks.
The tsar hoped to stabilize the hearts and minds of St.
Petersburg with such a calm gesture of his own.
And that's exactly what happened.
After all, after seeing that Alexander did not run away in a panic after learning that Brankoff was leading a large army to attack, first of all, the hearts of the people in the St.
Petersburg Imperial Palace stabilized.
The atmosphere in the palace also influenced many St.
Petersburgers.
But only Alexander knew that even sitting in a chair was a great ordeal for him at this moment.
Bagration was the last famous general of the empire, and Alexander knew that his ability was not as good as Bagration, so he did not go to Tongchuan, because he was afraid that if he went to Tongchuan, he would affect Bagration's performance.
And although Alexander pretended to be in front of people, only Alexander and Penning and a few less than ten people knew that Alexander was quietly transferring important treasures from the St.
Petersburg Imperial Palace.
The strength of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Empire was still strong thanks to Ushakov's efforts, which allowed Alexander not to worry about his retreat until St.
Petersburg was breached, after all, it only took more than half an hour to get from the Winter Palace to the St.
Petersburg naval station.
In order not to be discovered by outsiders, Alexander gathered dozens of soldiers through the three generals of the Guards who had been loyal to him to pack the treasures accumulated by the Romanov dynasty in the palace for a hundred years, and then transported them to the warships of the Baltic Fleet over the years.
The accumulation of the Romanov dynasty in the past hundred years was very large, and the Russian Empire was already a predatory empire, which made the treasures in the treasury of the Winter Palace piled up like a hill.
It took three days for these valuable treasures to be packed and transported to the Baltic warships, and then in order to prevent the Guards soldiers involved in carrying the treasures from leaking, Alexander personally ordered all the Guards soldiers to be sent to Bagration in the name of reinforcing the front line.
