Speaking of which, I have to mention a secret matter.
In May 1757, the Seven Years' War was in full swing, Frederick the Great had just won the Battle of Robsitz, and then he could not wait to invade Bohemia, and under the city of Prague, a total of hundreds of thousands of Prussian and Austrian soldiers fought to the death.
At that time, Ferdinand was the commander of the right flank of Frederick the Great's own line, and at the beginning of the campaign, the situation of the Prussian army was in a downward spiral, and even later, the left flank of the Prussian army phalanx was defeated by the Austrian army and collapsed.
Later, because of the collapse of the Prussian army, a huge gap appeared between the right flank of the Austrian army and the center army, and Frederick the Great, who noticed this, immediately ordered Marshal Ziten to lead the cavalry to attack from the gap to cut off the connection between the right flank of the Austrian army and the main position, and at the same time, the Prussian army also began to launch a counteroffensive against the Austrian army with all its might.
In the end, the victory of the Battle of Prague ended with the victory of the Prussian army, but what no one expected was that this victory would plant a seed of hatred in the hearts of Ziten and Ferdinand.
The elder Saito, who was only a lieutenant general at the time, told Frederick the Great after the war that it was because of the inaction of the right flank army led by Ferdinand that the Austrian army could concentrate its strength on attacking the left flank of the Prussian army, which led to the defeat of the left flank of the Prussian army.
This kind of remark immediately attracted Ferdinand's rebuttal, but who knew that the fiery Qi Teng immediately became angry when he heard Ferdinand's rebuttal, and not only demanded that Frederick the Great punish Ferdinand severely.
At the same time, he scolded Ferdinand.
Ziten's words caused Frederick the Great to think deeply, after all, from the battlefield situation, the right flank at that time did retain its strength and did not launch an attack on the Austrian army with all its might.
Coupled with the fact that Ziten had made a fortune in the Battle of Prague, Frederick the Great's attitude was biased in favor of Ziten's preparation to deal with Ferdinand.
At this moment, the old Prince Dessau, who was in charge of the main force of the Prussian army, stood up to defend Ferdinand.
In the end, the defense of the old Prince Dessau saved Ferdinand from punishment, but then Ferdinand's impression of Ziten was very bad, but later, as Ziten was reused by Frederick the Great and became the emperor's number one general, Ferdinand's anger could only be hidden in his heart.
Even after a few decades, I think about it.
Ferdinand's anger was still uncontrollable.
"Therefore, I will never tolerate Dafilia being in charge of the staff, so I might as well explain it to you here.
My nephew can compete fairly with Dessau, but at the same time he must not let his guard down on Dafilia, and I think Your Royal Highness should have no objection to this, right?
” Hear Ferdinand's words.
Prince Henry only thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Although Qi Teng is recognized as the first general under Frederick the Great.
However, in the eyes of many people in the Prussian army, Ziten did not deserve his name, because the old Prince Dessau became a man earlier than Ziten, and before Ziten appeared in the Prussian army, the old Prince of Dessau was the first general under the emperor.
Not only that, but unlike Qi Teng, Marshal Dessau's attitude towards his colleagues and subordinates was very gentle, and it was really appropriate to use his love for soldiers like a son on the old Prince Dessau.
If it weren't for the incense of old Dessau.
Henry would not have taken such care of Marshal Dessau.
Soon after, the conversation between Ferdinand and Henry was presented in William's office.
Look at the paper that recorded the conversation between Ferdinand and Henry.
The expression on William's face was very cold, and he couldn't see any fluctuations.
The founding father of Red China once said that "there is no party outside the party, there is no imperial thought, there is no faction within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things", and for William, he knew the factions that existed in the Prussian army.
"Horn, you're doing a good job, you step down first!"
With that, William waved at Horn, who then bowed to William and left.
When Horn was gone, William lit the paper and threw it in a nearby pot.
After a while, William came to Louise's dormitory, and at this moment, William's brothers and sisters were also gathered in Louise's dormitory.
After seeing William coming, Louise stopped teasing Eric and said to William: "Since you've come back during this time, I've tried to persuade Christine, but now I can't persuade her at all!"
Hearing Louise's words, William hurriedly looked at Christine, only to see that Christine's face had lost a lot of weight, and the whole person actually exuded a cold aura, which made William's heart suddenly a little indescribable.
"Christine, come here, what's going on?
How can I lose weight like this, is this still my Royal Highness the Imperial Princess!
” William walked up to Christine, reached out and stroked Christianie's hair, and then said.
Hearing William's words, Christianie's face was filled with tears.
Seeing that Christine did not speak, William comforted her for a while and then walked to Charlotte's side.
"Charlotte, I'm sorry for you, if you ask for anything, I'll do my best to make it up to you!"
After William's words were finished, to his surprise, Charlotte only smiled slightly and said: "I don't blame anyone for this matter, besides, I feel good that I'm back in Brandenburg now, and Sister Christine can talk, Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself!"
Without waiting for William to return to Charlotte, Louise called William to her side, and when William stood in front of her, Louise took William's hand with one hand, Ludwig's hand with the other, and then pulled the two hands together.
"William, now that you are the emperor of the empire, the emperor should have the world in mind!
Your brother is your dearest relative, and you men are nothing more than quarrels over that little thing, but in my opinion, there is something that your own brother can't get over!
Now that you have become the emperor of the empire, then I want to ask you.
For Ludwig and your sisters and sisters, what are you going to do!

” Louise's words made William feel very sudden, but fortunately, William had also thought about the arrangement of several siblings before.
So William said: "When the papacy is elected, I am going to let Ludwig go to Tritz to be the archbishop of Tritz, and Wilhelminne, I am already in discussions with King Gustav of Sweden, and if possible, I am ready to marry Wilhelminny to the crown prince of Sweden.
Christine's words are still in her heart for now, as for Charlotte.
I don't force it, if she has a heart, then a Earl's castle can't escape!
” After William finished speaking.
There was a hint of hesitation on Louise's face.
For the arrangement of the daughters, William's arrangement is indeed very good, and it is not a bad thing for Louise to let William marry the crown prince of Sweden, after all, the marriage between the royal family is also normal.
With a crown prince is not a loss of William's identity.
And Charlotte William had already prepared a rich dowry for her.
After Charlotte's divorce, the British side not only returned the dowry, but also gave a large amount of property as alimony, so it is obvious that the title of an earl is for Charlotte's future husband.
In this way, Louise was the only one who felt a little hesitant.
Louise hadn't been to Tritz, she didn't know what Tritz was, but Louise knew one thing, and that was that Archbishop Tritz was not only one of the Electors of the Empire, but also held great power in the realm and the like.
It's just that it's only a matter of faith that makes Louise hesitate.
William embraced Catholicism for the sake of the name of the Emperor.
Louise could understand it, but it was still difficult for Louise to accept that her other son should also be Catholic.
Although Louise has not been to Tritz.
But she also knew that Tritz was a special place, just like Cologne, and that Archbishop Tritz had to be a Catholic.
But the identity of Archbishop Tritz who is also the Elector of the Empire still makes Louise a little moved, so there is this hesitation.
William saw the hesitation on Louise's face, so he said to Ludwig on the side: "Let you go to Tritz, will you go?"
As soon as Wilhelm had finished his last sentence, Ludwig began to think about the advantages and disadvantages of being Archbishop of Tritz.
Obviously, there were advantages and disadvantages to being Archbishop of Tritz for Ludwig, but it was not a matter of faith.
Tritz was very far from Brandenburg, almost twice as far as Dresden to Brandenburg, which meant that Ludwig would leave Louise and go on his own.
Moreover, Tritz had just been occupied by the Prussian army, it had not yet been completely stabilized, and as an archdiocese, there were many people there who were fanatical believers, and while the former Archbishop Tritz was still in exile, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would threaten Ludwig's security.
There is also the fact that Archbishop Tritz is only a religious prince, in other words, Archbishop Tritz himself cannot become emperor of the empire by election.
Of course, because there is an example of Maximilian in this article, you just need to learn from Maximilian.
However, there are also many advantages to going to Tritz, first of all, Archbishop Tritz is one of the Electors of the Empire, although the current Emperor is William, this right seems to be of little use, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not come in handy in any emergency situation in the future.
In addition, in addition to being a religious leader, the Archbishop of Tritz is also in charge of the military and political affairs of the Tritz region, if William really lets go of Ludwig, then it means that Ludwig has a piece of his own ** kingdom, and he no longer has to worry about being imprisoned as before.
But in any case, Ludwig understood that this was an arrangement in William's mind, even if he or Louise opposed it, then William's next arrangement would not even be as good as Tritz.
Therefore, after a short hesitation, Ludwig resolutely said: "Now that my brother has made a decision, then I'll go to Tritz!"
Ludwig's statement made Louise's heart full of relief, although she loved this young son, it did not mean that Louise did not understand politics.
Without waiting for William to speak, Louise said with relief: "Ludwig, you promised well.
But remember, when you get to Tritz, you should ask more questions if you don't understand, and don't make a rash decision.
And write to Brandenburg in everything, your brother and I are your strong backing!
” Hearing Louise say this, William could only say: "Mother said a lot, we are brothers, there are some principles that can not be compromised, but more often than not, we should be united.
Don't worry, Ludwig, I'll arrange it when you go to Tritz.
I will send someone to hand it over to you in the local military administration, I hope you don't let me down!
” Hearing that Wilhelm was willing to cede Tritz's military administration to himself, Ludwig's heart immediately rejoiced. .....................................
"Your Highness, it's not good.
News came from the Prussians.
They seem to have been determined to support Alexander, and the messengers we sent to the Swedes reciprocated that the Swedes had rejected our request for an armistice, though the Swedes also claimed that if we were willing to cede all of our territory to Estonia and Latvia and Scandinavia, the Swedes might as well consider an armistice!
” An official hurried into Brankoff's office in the Winter Palace in St.
Petersburg and reported to Brankoff.
Since Brankoff entered St.
Petersburg, although he nominally supported Petrov to become a puppet tsar, it did not prevent him from becoming the de facto controller of the Russian Empire, and then Brankoff moved into the Winter Palace in St.
Petersburg under the pretext of political needs.

As for the poor Tsar Petrov, he had to leave the Winter Palace and live on a manor on the outskirts of St.
Petersburg.
"The Swedes are too deceitful!"
After hearing the official's words, Brankoff was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.
Among the conditions originally offered by Brankoff.
He could cede all of Latvia and half of Belarus and half of Estonia to the Swedes in exchange for the Swedes agreeing to a request for an armistice.
But even the Swedes were not satisfied, and even demanded the territory of Scandinavia, if Brankoff really agreed, then it would mean that the efforts of the Romanov dynasty in Europe for a hundred years were in vain.
However, after shouting angrily, Brankoff also quickly calmed down, and the news he received from the Prussians and Swedes made Blankov seem to smell the smell of conspiracy.
It is well known that the Prussians and the Swedes were close allies, and the Prussian decision to support Alexander and the Swedes' disagreement with the armistice is in fact one thing, that is, the Swedes' disagreement with the armistice seems to be a foreshadowing for Prussia to help Alexander recover.
Brankoff's head gradually ached, for Blankov, although he looked beautiful at this time, Brankoff also knew that he was walking on the edge of a cliff, and one mistake would be doomed.
After a long moment, Brankoff said to the officer: "You go down first" After saying this, Brankoff called in another attendant and said to him: "Immediately call all the generals to the Winter Palace!"
In less than two hours, the generals of the armies near St.
Petersburg rushed to the Winter Palace.
"There is only one theme for calling you this time, the Swedes do not agree to our request for an armistice, and according to the intelligence, the Swedish troops currently stationed in Estonia will only need a week to reach the city of St.
Petersburg, so we must take some countermeasures accordingly, I would like to hear your advice!"
After Brankoff finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of the generals in the palace.
After Brankoff finished speaking, the rebel generals immediately looked at each other.
After a long while, seeing that no one spoke, and was somewhat evasive under the gaze of his own gaze, Brankoff said angrily: "Isn't there anyone who wants to share my worries?
I ask you how to fight this battle, and who will be the vanguard!
” From the hearts of these generals, they are now reluctant to fight anymore, and after the capture of St.
Petersburg, each of them has gained glory and wealth, and the villas and estates of the once high St.
Petersburg nobles have become ruins on their horses' hooves.
And the palace maids who once looked unattainable in the Winter Palace have become playthings in their beds, and in this case, who is willing to risk life and death to fight.
Isn't it for the sake of one's own glory and wealth to fight wars?
And now that they have glory and wealth, what are they going to fight?
After a while, one of the generals hesitated and said: "Your Excellency Generalissimo, St.
Petersburg is too close to the border, you see if we can move the capital, we can re-establish the capital in Moscow, so that not only do we not have to worry about the enemy suddenly appearing under the city of St.
Petersburg, but even if the enemy invades our borders, we can still have a very wide room for maneuver!"
Unexpectedly, after the general finished speaking, he was immediately scolded by Brankoff: "Fart!
What is the benefit of removing Moscow, if we go to Moscow, then what will the world think of us!
” When Brankoff scolded angrily, he glanced at several generals in front of him again, and then said even more angrily: "Yes, you are all well, the glory and riches of St.
Petersburg have tamed you all into meek lambs, it seems that there is no need to fight, and when Alexander returns, you will have no good fruit to eat!"
Hearing the news from Brankoff's mouth that Alexander might call back, the generals in the palace couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Seeing this situation, Brankoff said with a serious face: "According to reliable intelligence, the Prussians and Swedes have decided to support Alexander, and they have declared us traitors, and it is foreseeable that it will not be long before Alexander will really return!"
