Chapter 61 Protocols over Protocols
In October, order throughout Prussia was basically restored through curfews and high-pressure emergency orders.
Counties across the country were harvested by local nobles and government officials, and the Saxon elector August II, under pressure from domestic nobles, put the Saxon surrender negotiations on the table through the Austrians.
The Austrians have always been a resistance to the negotiations. Due to their previous obstruction, the negotiations did not take place at all. Now, the Austrians sent their ambassador.
Duke Joseph of the Kingdom of Naples, a close confidant of the Habsburg Dynasty, presided over the negotiations. This guy is said to be the father of the little devil he met at the Austrian Research Institute, so he is not expected to have a good temper.
This is also true. As soon as this guy came to the camp in Rome, the truce conditions proposed by the Saxons were simply unbelievable. Saxony apologized to Prussia and compensated 500,000 thalers of silver coins.[
Then what?
Then it was gone.
Viscount Imas put on the table the terms I had negotiated with the Prussians on my behalf.
Compensate Prussia with 1 million talers of silver coins. However, these are only the beginning of the terms of defeat. Within 5 years, the Saxons will cancel all tariffs on the Prussians. In addition, they must provide the Prussians with 2,000 military horses, 3,000 military uniforms and corresponding accessories. In addition
,from Leipzig
The land 3 kilometers to the west will be transferred to the Principality of Anhalt, and the original border with the Kingdom of Prussia will be moved 10 kilometers south. Finally, the Elector of Saxony must apologize to his fiancée, Mrs. Windil, who is the third heir to the throne of the Roman Empire.
Compensate the Romans with 3 million talers of silver.
The Austrians and Saxons expressed unacceptable acceptance of such unreasonable armistice conditions. Not to mention handing over almost 10% of their territory. Even if they gave 3 million thalers of silver coins, they could not do it. However, they provided 2,000 army horses and 3,000 troops.
The conditions of military uniforms and corresponding accessories can be considered.
So the Austrians offered their price in place of the Saxons.
2,500 military horses, 3,600 military uniforms, military boots, weapon belts, and combat clothing such as epaulettes. In addition, the Saxons will pay the Romans 1.5 million thalers of silver coins and the Prussians 300,000 thalers of silver coins.
Viscount Imas directly rejected the Saxon brains and the Austrian tricks. Instead, he demanded that the amount of Saxony's compensation to Prussia must be increased to the same amount as Rome's compensation, and promised to write the name Elector of Saxony on the defeat letter.
Apologize for his disrespectful behavior and leave everything else unchanged.
I had people take the Saxon envoys and the Austrians to see what it looked like when three villages were burned down.
So far the Saxons had hoped to rely on the Austrians to reduce their losses.
The Austrians, on the other hand, tried hard to show off the power of a great country, the true co-owner of the Holy Roman Empire. Not only did they have an arrogant attitude, they also tried to force the Prussians to surrender by using force and emphasizing Prussia's current internal and external difficulties.
You must know that the fewer truce chips the Saxons offer to Prussia, the more the Austrians will gain. The Austrians know this, and so do we and Prussia, so the Austrians do not just use big sticks.
Saxony, whose capital had fallen and had no troops in the country, still offered such favorable terms. The Austrians wanted Prussia to agree to their terms and also offered a certain price.
And because I burned down the village, the angry Austrians drastically reduced Saxony's compensation to Rome, only giving 450,000. Do you want it?
Through Fritelia, I learned that in the secret deal between the Austrians and Prussia, they had increased their terms of exchange for the Prussians.
It will continue to assist 8 infantry regiments and 5 Austrian artillery companies with more than 10,000 troops. It will also provide annual loans of 500,000 thalers of silver coins and iron ore and coal mines worth 500,000 thalers to the Prussians. Austria recognizes Fritelli.
Asia is the master of Prussia, Otto is the rebel
Party. Within 10 years, anyone who attacks the Prussians will be an enemy of Saxony and Austria. But correspondingly, within 10 years, no matter who attacks Austria, Prussia must maintain the dignity of the co-owner of the Holy Roman Empire.
Holy Roman Emperor.
The Austrians are suspected of trying to open a breakthrough from the Prussians and force a unilateral peace through the Prussians. After all, even the Prussians involved have withdrawn from the war, so what reason do we, the helpers, have to rely on?
It was just right to continue waging war for my fiancée. The Austrians sent people to threaten me, saying that if I dared to launch a war in this name, they would go to Constantinople and report to the cheap daddy.
Let me, the heir to the throne, lose favor in Caesar's heart.
However, the Austrians did not realize the importance of the deal I made with the Prussians, and they overestimated Prussia's desire for reinforcements from the five infantry regiments and artillery batteries.
Prussia vetoed the proposal. But within a few days, Prussia made a concession from the Austrians. Saxony was willing to move the border 15 kilometers south as compensation. Austria made a good move, because in front of Friedrich
Leah revealed that the new land obtained in the south will be distributed to the royalist manor Junkers. This is good.
, the border was moved 15 kilometers south, and the Junkers in the south of Prussia, whether pro-Austrian or not, all strongly demanded that Feletelia agree to this armistice condition. Once the Junkers of the estates got the land, they were not grateful to the Austrians. Austria
With this foundation in place, it will be easier for people to intervene in the affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia in the future.[
The Prince of Dessau and his family, who originally thought they could get a large piece of land, were very unhappy. He felt that they had been despised. At this time, the opposition between the Junkers of the Prussian court and the Junkers of the local manors immediately became acute.
Feletelia was in a dilemma, and old Schwerin was also in a dilemma.
The local manor Junkers are the grassroots of the Prussian-controlled kingdom and the grassroots of the army. Now, those who are following Feletelia are the supporters who have followed from the beginning. Their voices cannot be ignored. The family of the Prince of Dessau
, not only representatives of the military, but also representatives of the Junkers at the court, and themselves big landowners. Their support was an indispensable boost to Prussia, not to mention that they were also the first supporters to respond to the royal protection. If there is no benefit at all
To them, it just doesn't make sense.
I responded by burning a large area of farmland north of Dresden. Later, I ordered the main force of the 33rd Spartan Legion to gather, and issued an order to speed up the destruction of East Saxony and move the residents and livestock around Leipzig.
Order from the Principality of Anhalt. Since the Saxons won’t give it to us, we’ll take it ourselves.
Our excesses prompted a targeted response from the Saxons.
However, they did not have the ability to bring people to kill them. On a sunny afternoon, a certain senior Saxon official led a group of people to urinate and defecate on the banks of the Elbe River.
They are upstream. The 33rd Spartan Legion is stationed downstream. Although we have not drank the water from the Elbe River, their provocative intentions are obviously higher.
Without saying a word, Morris directly brought out a battalion of Chasseurs and beat up the senior Saxon official and his soldiers, and then brought them back with bruises and swollen faces. The Saxons were quite capable of drawing fire, and the people who were caught were actually
There are also several Austrian nobles.
Soon, these Austrian nobles attracted questions from the Austrian negotiator Joseph.
"Why don't we fight a war? If we Romans win, we will kill all the prisoners and occupy Dresden. If you Austrians win, we won't get a penny and will automatically withdraw from this game."
Faced with my reply, the Austrian Ambassador Joseph said angrily on the spot, "How can you provoke us, Greater Austria, if you can? If you want to fight, just fight. He is not the one going to the battlefield anyway."
As far as I know, the Austrian Ambassador Joseph immediately asked their Duke of Caprara to mobilize the soldiers as soon as he returned. As soon as he returned to ask for instructions, he would start the war immediately.
I don’t know what the expressions of the Austrian nobles present were when they faced me, a Roman muscled Spartan who even fell to the ground with Karl XII. However, through the proud reply of Viscount Imas, the middle and high-level Austrian officers were almost
In three days, I used up all the excuses I could find and almost ran away.
It seems that I have gained a bad reputation to the point where I am frightened by the news. In this case, I have no reason to miss this opportunity. I immediately sent someone to Dresden that day to announce that Rome was going to war with the Austrians, and announced my bet, a lot
Common people may not be able to understand the messy reasons why the country and the family hate each other, but even the captives are not spared this massacre, I think most people will understand clearly.
The Austrian soldiers who were going to be scapegoats lacked the restraint of their officers, so when they got up the next day, they found some of them missing.
At first they ran in groups of two, but after two days, the Austrian soldiers simply ran away in groups at night, which frightened my sentry into thinking that the enemy was moving in large numbers.
So an own goal occurred. We were alerted and immediately put the entire army on alert. The Austrians thought that we were attacking with the entire army and were going to make a surprise attack at night. As a result, half of the Austrians ran out of Dresden and the other half prepared to defend the city.
Half of the Austrians received the urgent order to return. Instead of stopping, they ran even more happily.
"If I take back the 30,000 troops I used to capture Vienna, give me 10,000. If all the Austrians have these troops, give me 10,000, and I will capture Vienna for Rome."
Looking at Constans who was obsessed with occupying Vienna, I said: "I have time to complain here, why not go find out what happened."
Soon, the sentry brought Austrian deserters to Constans. After some interrogation by Constans, who had always liked to make things difficult for people since he was a child, we learned why the morale of the Austrians was so low.
In the words of Constans, this started a long time ago. As for how long, it was when the Marquis of Baden-Baden was still very powerful...
To put it simply, thanks to Austria's pig teammate mode, during the evacuation of Berlin, when they evacuated Berlin, of course their soldiers would ask why they had to run away. So, from that time on, the Austrians, Karl Ten
Rumors about the public version of Er Lei spread. There were lightning and thunder, and the wind and clouds were raging. Anyway, they were talking about whatever they had. This is fine. When they find out that Karl XII has been defeated, they will have to face me, who defeated Karl XII.
of silver, coupled with the collective disappearance of officers and their escape...[
Constans didn't finish his report, but I also knew what he said next. The Austrian officers were all a group of people who came here to gain military honors and gain seniority, and they didn't even think about fighting a tough battle. As soon as I heard that there was a tough battle to be fought, and
It was still a tough battle that they could not win, so they ran to find the commander-in-chief, the old Duke of Caprara, to open a way home. Naturally, the soldiers who discovered that the officer was missing also ran away with them.
The Prussians were so frightened that night that we thought we were going on a rampage, so Fletelia brought a group of people over to stop us.
Looking at the girl who almost wanted to scream and step over me if you want to pass, I could only make a face. I didn't expect to scare the Austrians like this, let alone start a war with them.
Possibly, and the trump card I relied on to gain a negotiating advantage was not my reputation at all.
The next day, the escaped Austrians came back, but the Saxons had obviously realized that the Austrians were completely unreliable.
Where is the army that most of them fled on their own as soon as they heard that there was going to be a war?
In short, the Austrians were humiliated by the Duke of Caprara who was released by a middle-level noble officer. Within a few days, the Duke of Caprara was dismissed, and the Marquis of Baden-Baden, who had returned from the Silesian battlefield, replaced the old man.
work, and then the negotiations started again. This time the Austrian voice became much softer.
After weeks of negotiations between the two sides, the armistice agreement in Saxony was finalized.
The Elector of Saxony apologized to Mrs. Windil, the fiancée of the third heir to the throne of the Roman Empire, admitting that he was blinded by anger and drank a few too many drinks, insulting her. For this reason, Saxony will compensate the Romans 900,000
silver thalers. Meanwhile, the Saxons had for them
The war started due to greed, and Prussia was compensated 200,000 thalers of silver coins every year for a total of 5 years. It provided the Prussians with 1,200 military horses and 3,300 military uniforms and corresponding accessories, and sold 800 war horses at a price of 130 thalers for 3 consecutive years.
After harvesting crops and food
After that, the Saxons will deliver 9,000 tons of grain at the established price of 127 thalers per ton. Before the Saxons complete the transaction amount, the Prussians will jointly supervise the two lands of East Saxony and Lower Lausitz with Rome.
In addition, from 9 kilometers west of Leipzig
The territory was transferred to the Principality of Anhalt, and the original border with the Kingdom of Prussia was moved 5 kilometers south. Saxony recognized the legitimacy of the Prussian prince and a series of legal rights and interests, and Leopold III of Austria became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Have the right to supervise the execution of this agreement.
The armistice agreement basically met everyone's needs, and then on this basis, Saxony signed the Dresden Agreement that was beneficial to Austria. Austria stationed a 5,000-man army in Dresden for the next five years to protect and monitor the armistice agreement.
takes effect, every year Saxony will sell 1,000 war horses to Austria at a price of 120 thalers of silver coins per war horse, and sell more than 300 tons of iron ore to Austria at a price of 1,054 thalers of silver coins per ton of iron ore.
On the other hand, the Austrians and Prussians formally signed the Berlin Agreement. In line with the sacred mission of maintaining the internal unity and integrity of the empire, the Austrians provided Prussia with the strength of 3 infantry regiments and 6 artillery companies, and 200,000 talers of silver coins per year.
