After Ovorov informed Catherine II of Prussia's willingness to accept the terms of peace talks, a big stone finally fell in the Queen's heart.
"Ovorov, you did a good job. Although Russia lost some interests this time, it is still within my acceptance range. I am still satisfied with your performance this time. So, let's deal with this matter.
Make a statement to the cabinet and your title will improve in the future, so consider it as your reward!"
Catherine II's words made Oworov ecstatic, and then tears welled up in Ovorov's eyes. Ovorov's running around these days has been very hard, and it made Owolov even more excited.
What Love couldn't stand was the coffee in the Prussian embassy.
Well, I guess the coffee at the Prussian Embassy left a big shadow in Owolov's heart.
Then, through formal cabinet discussions, Russia promised to transport three million worth of property to the Prussian embassy within a month. As for how the Prussians would transport this wealth back to the country, that was not a consideration for the Russians.
.
As for the military buffer zone north of Warsaw, in view of the current turmoil in Poland, this will be implemented after the Russian army calms down the situation in Poland. As for Western Lithuania, Russia promised that Prussia can take over it at any time.
After Russia formally made the resolution, Scotaire ordered people to spread the news back to the country. The reconciliation between Prussia and Russia also made Scotaire feel relaxed.

"Your Majesty, His Excellency Jewski once again proposed to enter the city of Warsaw to garrison. Do you think we will..."
"Don't agree to his request for the time being. We don't have the upper hand in the city right now. Who knows what Jewski will think?"
August said as he looked at the person asking for instructions in front of him. At this moment, he was sitting on the throne of the Polish Palace in Warsaw.
After the last war, Potemkin was busy resting and dealing with the results of the battle, which gave August a chance to breathe. After learning that the Russian army was no longer pressing forward, August immediately led his troops back.
Warsaw, he decided to fight the Russian army in Warsaw.
Naturally, August informed Jewski of his order to return to the defense of Warsaw. After receiving August's order, Jewski also brought his troops to the outside of Warsaw, but the defenders of Warsaw did not
The army led by Jevsky was not allowed to enter the city.
August's order to Jewski was to garrison in a castle not far outside Warsaw, but Jewski believed that only by gathering troops in one place could it be possible to withstand the Russian attack. Therefore.
He asked August for instructions again and again, hoping to enter the city of Warsaw to assist in the defense, but his request was rejected by August without any dispute.
August rejected Jewski's request for two main reasons.
One reason is that after the last disastrous defeat, Augustus only had more than 20,000 men left. Although he recruited militiamen in Warsaw on a large scale after his arrival in Warsaw, for some reasons, the army in Warsaw was
Still has not exceeded 30,000 people.
August, who was very wary, naturally would not allow Jewski to lead his army into the city. Now Warsaw was August's last hope. If Jewski and others were allowed to enter the city, even if the Russian army did not fight,
Come on, there's no guarantee that Jevsky won't take advantage of the money.
Another reason is that August believed it was necessary to deploy an army not far outside Warsaw. This army could fully respond to the garrison in Warsaw. This would be better than having all the troops gathered in Warsaw.
It's better to be surrounded by enemies.
It is impossible to say whether August's idea was good or bad, because the second reason did have some truth, and this reason was also regarded by August as the official reason for refusing to allow Jewski's troops to enter Warsaw.
But Jewski's men didn't think so. Many of Jewski's men believed that August had never trusted them and had always regarded the rebels as scapegoats. Even the castle where the rebels were stationed
They are all located to the east of the city of Warsaw. The east side is the route for the Russian army to come. It blocks the route that the Russian army must pass through to go to Warsaw. You can imagine what kind of situation the rebel army will face.
In fact, Jewski also understands this truth, but he is not willing to think about it in this aspect. The Russians are about to advance to Warsaw. If everyone is still thinking about it at this moment, it will be impossible to stop them.
You can live with the Russians who are like wolves and tigers.
But facing the excited subordinates, Jewski was indeed in a dilemma.
Not to mention the dirty things in Poland.
In late October, the Russian army, which had had enough rest, embarked on another journey. This time their goal was very obvious. In Potemkin's view, after the last defeat, the Poles had become frightened. As long as the Russian army could
If they advance with overwhelming force, those Poles will definitely be heartbroken, and the recovery of Warsaw will only be a mere effort.
Potemkin's ideas basically represent the whole Russian army. Although the Russian army suffered heavy casualties in the previous war, after joining Potemkin, the total strength of the Russian army still reached nearly 100,000.
Fifty thousand people.
And more importantly, Potemkin also used the captured Poles to form an auxiliary army. The commander of this Polish auxiliary army was Kahn Popov.
During this period, Harn Popov was very proud of the Spring Equinox. Because of the strong fighting power of the Russians, basically all the Polish cities in front of the Russian army were defeated in one battle. And every time after the war, those Polish nobles who were like grass on the wall were defeated.
They will look for ways to meet Potemkin and then benefit from it.
But how could the distinguished Marshal Potemkin go to meet these little people in person, so the reception of these little people fell on Kahn Popov. Faced with such a good opportunity, Kahn Popov naturally wanted to seek some benefits for himself
of.
Not to mention anything else, during this period of time, Harn Popov has acquired double digits of new mistresses. These mistresses were all donated by Polish nobles. As for property, Harn Popov’s army has more than a dozen more.
A fully loaded carriage will make it clear. In this way, although Kahn Popov behaved like a dog in front of Potemkin, in front of his compatriots, Kahn Popov looked aloof.
After winning the battle with August, in view of the shortage of Russian troops, Kharnpopov took the initiative to ask Potemkin to propose the establishment of a Polish auxiliary army. This proposal was agreed to by Potemkin without hesitation.
, the appointment of general fell on Khanpopov.
However, in order to prevent any abnormalities in the Polish Confederate Army, when Potemkin appointed Harn Popov as the commander-in-chief of the Confederate Army, he basically replaced all the officers in the Confederate Army with Russians.
It can be said that except for the commander, most of the other officers of this auxiliary army are Russians. It can also be said that this army is completely under the supervision of the Russians.
After the formation of the Confederate Army was completed, Potemkin handed over the vanguard task to Kahn Popov. However, relying on the power of the Russians and the weak defense of the city, this Concord Army was actually invincible and invincible, and every time
After capturing a city, Khanpopov will organize all the prisoners in the city into the auxiliary army. In this way, the size of the auxiliary army will become larger and larger.
By the time the Russian army approached Warsaw, the number of auxiliary troops under Harnpopov alone had reached 20,000 to 30,000.
As a result, Harnpopov became even more complacent. Looking at the city of Warsaw, which was not far away on the map, Harnpopov already thought about the prospect of getting rich after entering Warsaw.
Unlike Kahn Popov's triumph, Potemkin was troubled by the situation in Poland.
Logically speaking, after the victory in the war, the dawn of pacification of Poland had begun to appear, so why would Potemkin have a headache? In fact, those who said this did not understand that construction was more difficult than destruction.
After calming down the situation in Poland, the Russians must of course ensure that Poland can maintain long-term peace and stability under Russian governance. Otherwise, a chaotic Poland will not only be inconsistent with the interests of the Russians, but will also be like a bottomless pit swallowing the blood of the Russians.
The eastern part of Poland was okay, because it was close to the Russians, so neither August nor the rebels caused much damage in the east, but it was different in other areas of Poland.
According to the intelligence obtained by Potemkin, except for the area in eastern Poland close to Russia, the entire Poland has basically fallen into a kind of anarchy, and riots have occurred one after another in various cities, especially in northern Poland.
Although Jevsky is stricter in restraining his subordinates, you must have an army after all if you want to revolt! So where do these armies come from? Naturally, they come from serfs and free people. What if some people are unwilling to participate in the uprising? Of course, it is forced.
In order to develop their subordinates, the leaders of the uprising teams did not hesitate to do anything.
As a result, the daily order of the local area was greatly disrupted, and because all the mature men were coerced into joining the army, who would take care of the crops in the fields?
Even if the chaos in Poland was settled, Potemkin still faced an extremely difficult situation, and this was a situation that Potemkin did not want to see.
Because after getting to the bottom of it, the chaos in Poland is inextricably linked to Kutuzov, and the post-war reconstruction after the pacification of Poland naturally requires the Russians to be responsible. As for such a large amount of funds, whether the bureaucrats in St. Petersburg will agree to it is not yet
He said that even if he agreed, he must have started from top to bottom. Winter is coming soon. If there is not enough support, even if the situation in Poland is calmed down, if there is nothing to keep the people hungry, another riot may occur.
.
No matter what, Kutuzov's responsibility will be infinitely magnified, and as Kutuzov's benefactor, Potemkin will inevitably be splashed with dirty water.
Although Potemkin was not worried that the dirty water poured out by others would affect his own interests, he was bound to be overwhelmed by the public outcry.
So I can’t think about some things, because just thinking about them will give me a headache!!!
PS: Post this in advance, I might have to drink at night, so everyone understands!
Today is the last day of the month, everyone has flowers again, don’t hide them!!
