Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

The battle to raid the Duke of Mecklenburg with the Fifth Spartan Army as the main force was the same as the raid on the Junkers and the German noble coalition forces below the city, without the slightest suspense.

More than 1 Mecklenburg troops resisted, but in the face of several times the number of enemies and cavalry and infantry attacks, the Duke of Mecklenburg, with zero combat experience and a low level of command, only showed a slight improvement. a little level.In just one hour, the Duke of Mecklenburg, except for a small number of important people who fled in embarrassment, either became captives or lay forever on this land that they tried to conquer.

Two hours later, Lewald and Alexei, who took people to count the results of the battle, reported the situation. Yesterday, the Hessian Regiment and the Fifth Spartan Army killed as many as 470 five people, and the captives The number of Ke and German princes was as high as 430, and the rest fled.Since there were not enough cavalry to expand the results of the battle, at least half of the enemy escaped.The Duke of Mecklenburg suffered even more casualties. The Fifth Spartan Army and Lewald's Prussian Army jointly created more than 470 enemies, nearly [-] prisoners, and the rest fled. .

The enemy multinational coalition forces under the city of Berlin had more than [-] casualties, more than [-] were captured, and the rest fled. This means that the enemy who invaded Prussia except Saxony is no longer a concern, but this will cause problems.

A post-war strategic arrangement was before our eyes. Even though I already had an idea in my mind, I still held a military meeting to ask other people for their opinions.

Morris said very well on the spot that as a Roman, he doesn't ask how many enemies there are, but only where the enemies are.

Constance analyzed a lot about the situation in Prussia, but talked for a long time.Even though I had learned about the recent situation in Prussia, he still didn't mention a single opinion on how to deal with the current situation.

Alexey, this product is simpler, he said I just make up my mind.

Hippias, the big picture is not enough.

Finally, I looked at Lewald the Prussian.

As the Prussian general who stayed in Prussia, he was recommended by both Prince Dessau and Schwerin. In the battle against Karl XII, I had a fairly good impression of him. His suggestion to defeat the enemy now is to attack Saxony.

Juncker has nothing to worry about.At most, we can only entangle ourselves in the territory we have been operating for many years, but at this time we must not waste time encircling and suppressing them. We should take this opportunity to send troops to attack the Principality of Saxony.The reason for going to Saxony instead of Mecklenburg is also very simple. If you go to the Principality of Mecklenburg, you will have to divide your troops and stay in Berlin.As a qualified military strategist and a devout Christian, Lewald feels that we need to be there all the time.Maintain as much strength as possible.Because God is only on the side of those who have the upper hand.If you go to Saxony, there are already Leopold's group of Prussian cavalry on the Mecklenburg side, enough to contain the Duchy of Mecklenburg, which has already been defeated once.Secondly, behind the Principality of Mecklenburg are the Swedes, even if we conquered the entire Principality of Mecklenburg, what we ate.Sooner or later you will spit out a lot.Taking advantage of this time, we might as well raise the bamboo bar with Saxony.At that time, Mecklenburg, who pinned his hopes on Saxony and Sweden, heard the news that Saxony had withdrawn from the war. Wouldn't it have a greater impact on Mecklenburg, which had no hope of victory over there?Once the Duke of Mecklenburg surrendered.Let the two most threatening foreign powers withdraw from the war, and the Junkers will understand that their persistence is meaningless, and their uprising no longer has any hope of persistence.In that way, it will be smooth for the next one to suppress or negotiate.

On the issue of Junker, Rewald advocated persuading surrender.His opinion revealed an obvious meaning, even if the Junkers found a group of intruders from outside, he still didn't want to kill all the Junkers.

Aside from sympathy for the Junkers, Lewald's suggestion is very reasonable, and it also shows that the two old Prussians, Prince Dessau and Schwerin, are very discerning people.

However, I can only say that Levald is a good military general, but his thinking is still lacking.

But I was relieved to think that as an ordinary military aristocrat, Levald needed to think so much about politics.

Half of the Prussian infantry garrison in Berlin will remain in place. The Hessian and Saxon regiments will be commanded by Hippias instead. A total of nine infantry battalions of 9000 men will be garrisoned with the other half of the Prussian infantry regiments, namely four infantry regiments. 8000 people carried 5 heavy siege artillery and a reinforced Prussian artillery battalion the size of a Roman artillery battalion, 10 12-pound guns, 16 8-pound guns, and other field artillery.

In the next step, I did not take Rewald's opinion, but ordered Rewald to lead such an army of nearly 2 people to attack the Principality of Mecklenburg.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!Take Mecklenburg and force the Duke of Mecklenburg to surrender as quickly as possible!

My reason is very simple. The Duke of Mecklenburg is backed by the Swedes. Lewald does not advocate attacking the Duke of Mecklenburg because he is afraid of occupying the Duke of Mecklenburg and messing with Sweden.The Swedes were pressing down on the border, and the Saxons below us held back our troops, so we had to spit out our victories.But the Swedes are now held back in the Netherlands.The Duchy of Mecklenburg has been conquered, resulting in an instant fact, which will be of great benefit to us in completely legally occupying this territory in the future.

When Revald led his troops northward, I was in command of the Fifth Spartan Army, and I sent someone to ask Eugene and his mustache slag group to join me. At the same time, I also asked Revald to give Li Obold's group of Prussian cavalry gave orders to join me as soon as possible.

With more than 9000 people from the Fifth Spartan Army and more than 4000 people from the Mustache Scum Regiment, even with the Prussian cavalry, there are only 6000 people. If you want to conquer Dresden, which is guarded by almost the same number of defenders, Unless a heavy price is paid, it will be difficult to conquer the old lair of the Duke of Saxony.But I never thought about attacking Saxony, I want to send the Fifth Spartan Army to Junker's base to fight guerrillas with those local snakes!

At such a critical moment, my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend came on stage, but when I heard that I was going to list the Junkers as the first target, this guy wrinkled his face.

When the military discussion was over, the others left, but Hans did not leave, but remained in his original seat.

"Do you have something to say?" I'm a little uncomfortable about Freetteria's ex-boyfriend.

It took several seconds for Hans to raise his head as if unresponsive, and he replied: "I thought you would leave Lewald in Berlin."

I understood what Hans meant, and I said: "You want to say that Lewald is a royal court noble who is friendly to the Junkers but loyal to the kingdom. Keeping him in Berlin can send a friendly signal to the Junkers more than me." , so we can finish the finishing touches, shall we?"

"Yes."

Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "Are you trying to say that I'm sabotaging Frederick's plan?"

"No."

Hans' answer surprised me.

"If I hadn't seen your performance in the Nuremberg military tent that day, I would definitely think so, but now, I can only say that I don't know what you are doing." Hans looked away from me, " I don't understand, I don't understand why from Otto to you, even Frederick, they are targeting the class labeled Junkers! They, what did we do wrong?"

"Conspiracy to murder the king, isn't that enough?" In this world where princes and generals have not been called out, the behavior of the Junkers is simply audacious.

"But they were forced to defend themselves from the very beginning! They were only defending their own interests, their own precious wealth, just like you Romans defended your Constantinople and your so-called Roman pride. Is that wrong? If it weren't for the so-called reforms, we wouldn't have come to this day at all! You know, before that Otto started the so-called reforms, all Junkers respected and loved our king like court nobles!" Hans was very emotional, The more she said, the louder she said, "Why! Why, they, she, would rather choose those muddy legs than us heroes who have paid blood and sweat for the Kingdom of Prussia! You know, if Prussia today did not have the hard work of our Junkers , It is impossible to expand to such an extent!"

The reform of Prussia was deserfization. To be honest, sometimes I also felt that Otto’s reform was very impatient, as if Prussia’s national power would increase dramatically without serfs.But now Hans's anger seems to be more inclined to me for robbing Felicia.Simply put, he was unconvinced.

"Hans, how much do you know about this enfeoffment system that has lasted for countless generations in German land?"

"I don't know, but I know that we, Junkers, are working hard for the kingdom. The kingdom took out a piece of land and the people on the land under our jurisdiction. What's wrong with that? It's been down for more than 1000 years, why can't it work today!"

"Tradition does not mean that it is the best. You see, the war 400 years ago was a group of knights leading a group of peasants and soldiers to fight. The scale ranged from 30 to [-] people to over [-]. The combat equipment was also swords and armor. What about now? A strategic unit with a scale of over [-] people, the sword that dominates thousands of people on the battlefield is gradually giving way to muskets, and the heavy armor of knights is eliminated and discarded in front of muskets. You think there is nothing wrong with it The enfeoffment system, like the knight's armor in the past, is suitable for one era, but in another era, it becomes a burden, and it is wrong to continue to wear it."

"Really, I'd like to hear how we became eliminated knights!" Hans glared at me with the kind of eyes that if you don't say it, you're lying.

I have a bit of a headache, not because I don't know how to explain it, but how to use simple language to make Hans understand. (To be continued..)
