On January 10, 1790, it was the day when Paul I declared Akhvsky a rebellion that the Ottoman army outside Nikolayev finally began to attack Nikolayev.
Under the cover of 30,000 troops, hundreds of artillery were pushed not far from the city of Nikolayev. After Selim's order was issued, the anger of hundreds of artillery made the entire land seem to have been quake. Even if you stand in the city area that is the east of Nikolayev, you can still feel the strong vibration.
On the Krim Peninsula, the original rebellion had been completely wiped out. Although the rebels had the support of the powerful Ottoman Navy, the disadvantage of military strength and equipment gave the rebels no room for resistance. After Christmas in 1789, most of the areas had been wiped out by the Russian army.
As the rebels were cleared, the rift between Blankov and Ilolov gradually expanded. Later, Blankov and Ilolov basically fell into a tit-for-tat quarrel when they met. As the conflict between the two expanded, the 100,000 Russian troops were also split. Blankov's First Army and Nikolavic's Third Army both experienced unusual mobilizations, and the army mobilization was basically carried out without Akhvsky's orders.
This situation quickly shocked Le'er Ahvsky. He knew that he had to make up his mind as soon as possible, otherwise the entire army would have been completely divided because of this matter.
On January 4, 1790, Akhvsky held the first meeting of the Russian army in the Black Sea in the New Year. At the meeting, Akhvsky officially announced that the army would set sail to the Ukrainian region from now on. This order encountered fierce opposition from a group of generals led by Blankov, but Akhvsky forcibly passed the order as his highest commander.
"I said, Blankov, you don't have to worry about it. Now that the situation is now, the marshal's order has been issued, so what can we do? Alas......"
After the meeting, Nikolavic comforted Blankov with an ugly face. But when he said this, he actually laughed in his heart.
Hearing Nikolavic's consolation, Blankov snorted without comment. When he remembered that after the meeting, Illyov's old face that smiled like a chrysanthemum, Blankov felt a burst of fire.
"That old guy, don't he know that this will push us into a dead end! Ukraine, Ukraine has nothing to do with it. I think the Marshal was also confused by that old guy, otherwise how could the Marshal accept such a stupid plan!"
Blankov's roar echoed throughout the room. As Akhvsky agreed to Illyov's proposal, Blankov wanted to cut Illyov into pieces.
"What else can we do when things are so? You must know that the highest commander of the army is Marshal Ahvsky. His order has been issued, but we can still disobey. So Blankov, you should just eliminate the fire."
Nikolavic sat on the chair without any concern and said to Blankov with a calm expression. Seeing Nikolavic's attitude, the flames in Blankov's heart instantly rose.
"Look at you, everyone is like this. Can't you see what kind of behavior we are doing? You must know that if we fail, our consequences will definitely be to confiscate the house and destroy the clan. Now everyone has put their heads on their belts. If you fail, everyone has to see God! In this case, there is something else in mind......"
Hearing this, Nikolavic frowned
"Blankov, I know you have anger in your heart, but I am not the one you get angry. If you want to get angry, go to Ahvsky. This stupid order was given by him. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him!"
Seeing that Nikolavic was full of disrespect for Ahvsky in his words, Blankov immediately wanted to say something, but he quickly held it back.
Just as Blankov was silent, Nikolavic spoke
"Brankov, I know I'm still blamed for this matter. If it weren't for a sudden accident, I guess that old guy Illyov wouldn't have said anything again. It's normal for you to feel a little resentful..."
Before Nikolavic finished speaking, Blankov waved his hand and interrupted him.
Before, when Blankov and Nikolavic were discussing secretly, they decided to send someone to assassinate Ilolov, but the old guy seemed to be really blessed by God. Both careful assassinations were avoided by Ilolov as if he was lucky.
"Okay, Nikolavic, I won't blame you for the previous two incidents, I can only say that the old guy is so lucky!"
Although Blankov didn't know why Nikolavic suddenly actively turned to him, Blankov must admit that Nikolavic had a right saying before. That is: The world is not good now, and whoever has a gun in his hand will be the boss.
As the commander of the Third Army, even though Nikolavic cannot control the entire Third Army, he can at least control more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so Nikolavic is definitely an ally worthy of winning.
Seeing Blankov wanting to speak but stop, Nikolavic smiled and stood up and walked to Blankov's side.
"Blankov, we actually have a choice now"
As soon as the words came to his senses, Blankov immediately widened his eyes and looked at Nikolavic.
"You, you mean........."
"hey-hey"
Nikolavic smiled sinisterly and said:
"Don't forget, Yamiansk is in our hands now, and the guards of the entire city are under my Third Army. Although Ililov has two regiments of troops stationed in towns not far from here, we can definitely get rid of Ililov before he can react. This time I have decided not to assassinate. That kind of thing is a bit unreliable after all. This time I am going to send troops to completely kill Ililov!"
"Nicolavich, are you so sure? You should know that Marshal Akhvsky is in Yamiansk. If there is a unit, we will definitely be suppressed by the Marshal!"
"It's okay, Blankov, I've thought about it. There are now 10,000 troops guarding Yamiansk. I can control five thousand of these 10,000 troops, and the Marshal can only mobilize about 3,000 people. The situation is not very clear. However, my three thousand direct descendants outside the city can also arrive at Yamiansk within half an hour. Don't forget that Ililov's personal guards in the city have less than one hundred."
Hearing Nikolavic say this, Blankov thought about it. He did not count the three regiments of the First Army deployed in the north of Yamiansk, whether intentionally or intentionally.
"But if we really attack Ililov, the Marshal will never stand by."
"Okay, Blankov, if you want me to say that you are good at everything, you are a little indecisive. What can you do if your marshal doesn't stand by and watch? Don't forget that our troops have the upper hand. Even Akhvsky wants to stop us from killing Illyov, he doesn't have the strength! After we kill Illyov, we ask the marshal to issue a new military order. Then, won't your ideas be implemented?"
Nikolavic's words made Blankov's heart moved.
"Damn it, I've done it!"
Blankov, who had always been elegant, actually spoke a swear word from his mouth, and afterwards he and Nikolavic walked to the flat map on the table and studied it.
After the military controversy ended, Ahvsky also returned to his residence. He felt his eyelids twitching along the way, but the Marshal did not take this thing seriously.
The reason why Akhvsky made up his mind was that Ililov provided a very heavyweight news. Ukrainian Cossacks promised that once Akhvsky moved into Ukraine, they could provide Akhvsky with more than 30,000 Cossack cavalry.
This news completely made Akhvsky's heart fall to Illyov. As the commander of a large army, Akhvsky actually thought more than anyone else. In Akhvsky's opinion, it was too risky to attack Moscow directly without any effort. As the old capital of the Russian Empire, the conservative forces there were extremely strong, and Paul I was not without any help. You should know that the army in the Far East and the Caucasus are still unclear. If Akhvsky led his army to take Moscow directly, the Caucasus and the Far East imperial army directly turned around and inserted his chrysanthemums, then it would definitely be a pattern of chrysanthemums all over the ground.
So in this case, Ahvsky had to think more. He felt that he could not rely solely on rushing around and without a stable base. The 100,000 army of the Black Sea was a rootless duckweed that could completely destroy it with just one wind and wave.
How could Akhvsky not see the disadvantages of Ukraine? But there is no better choice before him now. Moreover, after the annexation of Ukraine, the 100,000 troops could not only obtain a base, but also open up a channel of contact with Kutuzov. In this way, the uniting forces of both sides can definitely shake the existence of the entire empire. If 30,000 Cossack cavalry were added, Akhvsky would not be able to withstand this temptation.
In fact, if Ahvsky knew that the 30,000 Cossack cavalry mentioned by Ililov was just a fool, he would probably faint. There were Cossacks, but only 5,000 people. You should know that those Cossacks are the masters who cannot get up early without profit. How could these Cossacks rashly agree to provide a large number of troops to others before there is a clear prospect and generous reward? (To be continued.
