Just as Leopold was saddened by Austria's next action, in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, the Sixth Division of the Kingdom of Prussia was preparing quietly.
William's order has reached Luke, the commander of the Sixth Division. This time, William is preparing to let Lukek command Saxon's actions uniformly. As the best graduate of Brandenburg Military Academy, Luke
When Ke was only thirty-two years old, he climbed to the position of commander of a regular military division. In addition to William's respect for military academy students like Luke, Luke's own ability is also commendable.
.
Looking at William's royal seal stamped on the order, Luke felt that things were not simple. As the regular army of the kingdom, the 6th Division should generally issue the direct order to it by the Prussian Military Department, and the order should
The seal of the Minister of Military Affairs was stamped with Prince Henry.
This is also the difference between the regular army of the Kingdom and the royal guards. When the Kingdom has not clearly entered a state of war, the orders issued to the troops stationed in Prussia should be from the military department. Only the royal guards are William's
The private forces can be decided directly by William. Of course, this does not mean that William does not have the right to command the army during non-war times. As an autocratic country, naturally everything is the greatest of the monarch!
What surprised Luke was that William did not directly issue an order to himself through the Military Department, and the content of the order was very simple, which was to control August of the Saxony Grand Duke, which made Luke smell a different smell.
As mentioned earlier, Luke's head was quite brilliant at being able to climb to the position of division commander at the age of 32, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the young and strong sect in the Prussian army.
In Saxony, Prussia deployed two divisions, and the 6th Division was stationed in Dresden. In addition, the 7th Division was stationed in the southern part of Saxony, close to Bohemia.
The next morning, Luke immediately ordered the prepared Sixth Division to go straight to Dresden, and at this moment, the Saxony Elector August was sleeping soundly in his palace.
August slept very sweetly. He even had a beautiful dream in his sleep. Since Saxony was actually controlled by the Prussians, August had never slept so steadily, but now he is very
Rest assured.
Since Saxony was controlled by the Prussians, August has been in panic all day long. He was deeply afraid that the Prussians would take their lives without realizing it. This made August panic.
I also felt a little humiliated.
The Principal of Saxony a hundred years ago was a dominant rule of the Holy Roman Empire. Even the emperor wanted to make the Grand Duke of Saxony three points. If we traced back a few hundred years, the Principal of Saxony would be even more awesome. What is France? In the Middle Ages
France was still beaten by Saxony.
But the rise and fall are the truth that has not changed since ancient times. Even the Mongols who once looked down on the world and established an unprecedented huge empire, they finally fell into the hands of the untouchables who were once regarded as slaves.
The only thing that makes August feel relieved is that the Prussians treated him well, at least August himself had no restrictions on his daily activities, and in addition to having no real power, the Prussians were on various occasions.
It also shows that he has great respect for August.
There was a time when August felt that being a puppet was good. At that time, August's heart was full of compromises to the unchanging world.
But Maximilian's call for the meeting of the imperial electorate was definitely a turning point for August.
Although August did not hold the power of the state at that time, he was the electorate of the empire, and he also had a crucial vote for the election of the imperial emperor. Therefore, Maximilian and Leopold were subsequently followed.
Everyone sent people to Dresden to win over August.
It was at that time that August suddenly found that some substance in his heart that had been turned into ashes seemed to be burning again. Although neither Maximilian nor Leopold's messenger made it clear,
Both sides gave August a hint that after they came to power with August's support, they would help Saxony regain his independence and help August drive away the Prussians.
Faced with the win over both sides, August did not rush to agree at first. You should know that he is not a child anymore. No one knows the strength of the Prussians better than him. Guangguang is Prussia stationed outside Dresden.
The Sixth Division was enough to make August frightened.
Under August's hesitation, Maximilian retreated. In Maximilian's view, August's hesitation may be because Saxony is currently in the puppet position of Prussia, so August's attitude must be
It still depends on the Prussians, so Maximilian later threw August aside and contacted Prussia with all his strength.
But the Austrians did not give up. Even when August did not give Vienna a clear answer, Leopold secretly provided August with tens of thousands of property of Kental in his private name, and Austria also
The man also promised to help August buy Saxon officials.
Austria's sincerity moved August, so on the eve of the Electoral Conference, he and Leopold reached an agreement, that is, Austria helped Saxony to gain independence, and August will do his best to help.
Leopold deals with Prussia.
After the agreement between the two parties was reached, Leopold did not break his promise. He not only used some of the energy he possessed in Austria to help August win over Saxony officials, but also provided August with more than 130,000 quinthals.
The wealth and the Austrians' big deal even moved August.
August is not short of money, and even August's own property is far more than this 130,000 gental, but like the treasury of Saxony, most of August's own property is in the Prussians.
Under control, without the collective consent of the Prussian government officials in Saxony, it was obviously impossible for August to take out a large amount of property from his warehouse to buy people's hearts.
The help of the Austrians played a role in matchmaking and catalysts. August was allegiance to dozens of Saxony nobles and bribed a group of officers from the local Saxony army and the Prussian army stationed in Saxony.
There is never a shortage of betrayal in the world, and even everyone's body contains the gene of betrayal. The so-called loyalty occurs when no one can afford a price worth betrayal.
It was in this case that August and his accomplices formulated plans to launch a mutiny around Christmas this year, and every night when they thought that they would soon be able to regain the Saxony regime, August
Always have a good night's sleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the 6th Prussian Division had already arrived at the city of Dresden. At this time, the guards of the Dresden Security Command had just opened the city gate.
Seeing the fully armed Prussian army outside the city, these guards were shocked. You should know that although the Prussian army outside the city would also enter the city, it has never been a large-scale and fully armed entry as it is now.
This made the guards feel a little nervous.
Just when the guards didn't know whether to close the city gate or ignore the Prussian army outside the city, a team of Prussian light cavalry had already arrived at the city gate. They raised their weapons in their hands, and the guards were theirs.
Target
"Everyone raised his hands and squatted against the wall!"
Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there was no large number of migrant people at the city gate. If it was noon, the actions of these Prussian light cavalry would probably cause great panic.
Seeing that the Prussian soldiers were not like joking, and the weapons they were all real guys, the guards immediately walked to the corner and squatted down as these Prussian soldiers said.
In less than ten minutes, the two cavalry regiments of the 6th Division, as the vanguard, rushed to the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was controlled by its own people, Luke nodded.
"Don't stop, send someone to urge the four infantry regiments behind to speed up. The 11th Cavalry regiment immediately occupied all the gates of Dresden, and the 12th Cavalry regiment followed me to the palace in Saxony!"
After the order was issued, Luke took the lead and rushed to the Grand Duke Palace located south of Dresden.
On the streets of Dresden, people looked at these ferocious Prussian cavalry in horror. You must know that since Saxony was occupied by the Prussians, there has never been such a large-scale Prussian cavalry in Dresden in these years.
William sat in a chair frowned, and the colonial minister Tegler, who sat opposite him, sat in a chair opposite William, fidgeted.
The Colonial Minister was the minister of government established by William after he seized the North American colony, and the Colonial Minister was not included in the Prussian cabinet at that time. However, in recent years, as the importance of North American colonies in the Prussian political territory became prominent, the Colonial Minister entered the
The call for the Pavilion is getting higher and higher.
"Tegra, what do you mean is that North American trade has received a big impact this year, and the tax revenues in the colonies will also drop significantly?"
He secretly raised himself up, Tegra said:
"Your Majesty, I think yes, our finances have also benefited greatly from the expansion of the North American continental colonies a few years ago, but this year our trade in North America has encountered a significant impact. There are many reasons for this.
The most important problem is the problem of black slaves! The kingdom did not have colonies in Africa, so the plantations in North American colonies had to buy a considerable number of black slaves from the British every year. As the colonies expanded, black slaves
The increasing demand has led to the increase in the price of black slaves. Moreover, the mainland parliament in North America was not completely wiped out, and the rebels still hid deep in the mainland. However, in recent years, they have frequently sent people to promote the abolition of black slaves in various places.
The slogans of slaves have been supported by a large number of black slaves, and under their instigation, the situation of black slaves fleeing and resisting has occurred frequently! According to statistics, there were more than 17 plantations and two plants last year and the second half of this year alone and in the first half of this year alone.
The factory was destroyed, causing more than 50 casualties, and more than 900 black slaves fled to the direct economic losses of 3.7 million silver marks.
In addition, as the connection between the kingdom and North America strengthens, although Britain is our ally, our merchant ships must pay a considerable tax to the British to obtain the protection of the British Navy on the Atlantic Ocean. This year, Britain has been the first to be the first to be asylum of the British Navy.
The taxes imposed on past merchant ships have increased by nearly five percent compared to last year's
When Tegray mentioned the slogan of the mainland parliament on liberating black slaves, William suddenly felt a little amused. It was only 1790, the black slave who liberated your uncle, Lincoln didn't know where to make soy sauce now. Who is so idle
Boring and making trouble!
According to statistics, on the eve of the North American War, the total number of black slaves in various colonies in North America exceeded 500,000. According to last year's report, there were more than 150,000 black slaves in the Prussian colonies alone, and the number of black slaves is still continuing.
is growing rapidly.
Among the common North American colonies today, the proportion of black slaves has accounted for one-sixth of the total population.
