When Alexander heard that he wanted to recruit an army of 30,000 people, he felt a sudden nervousness. From Alexander as the governor of Hungary to now, the accumulated strength has been less than 10,000, except for the two thousand governors guards on the surface, and the army of these 10,000 people are also distributed among the territories of the Hungarian princes who swore allegiance to Alexander.
"Thirty thousand people, Daniel, are you kidding me? Where can I find thirty thousand people?"
Alexander looked at Daniel with some displeasure on his face. Obviously, Alexander thought that Daniel's words were a bit teasing for him, but when he saw Yu Lian, Daniel absolutely did not want to tease Alexander's intention.
"Your Highness, how dare you joke with you! Only by gathering an army of 30,000 people can you make everyone admire their strength. At the same time, no matter which battlefield these 30,000 Hungarian troops join, they can play a decisive role. If there are few people sent, it will be a drop in the bucket for the troops arranged by both the Pakatan and the Austrians on the border!"
"What you said does make sense, but where did I become 30,000 people?"
"Your Highness, if you don't have it, does it mean that others don't have it!"
"oh?"
"Your Highness, do you still remember Isabella?"
Hearing Daniel mentioning Isabella, Alexander's face showed an angry color, he gritted his teeth and said:
"That Isabella really regarded herself as a nobleman. My highness was indifferent to her kindness. What's even more annoying is that the old fox Bartori had been perfunctory. If the situation in Hungary had not been completely controlled by me, I would have made them look good!"
Alexander's resentment towards the Bartoli family was extraordinary. The old Bartoli relied on his family's deep roots in Hungary and was not very close to Alexander. What's even more annoying is that when Alexander made a request for marriage, Bartoli actually said that he could not make the decision on Isabella's marriage.
This thorough perfunctory word completely angered Alexander, and that Isabella treated Alexander's Taitu exactly the same as her father, and was always not far or near.
Seeing Daniel's words full of resentment, Daniel said:
"Your Highness, now is our best chance to surrender the Bartori family!"
"Um?"
Daniel smiled and said:
"Your Highness. The order of the Emperor's conscript will be delivered soon. When you hold the order of His Majesty in your hand, you can force the Bartori family to submit. If the Bartori family refuses to obey, you can punish his family in the name of violating His Majesty's orders!"
"But the Bartori family is deeply rooted in Hungary. If they angered Bartori, wouldn't they force him to rebel?"
"Your Highness, your Battori family relies on nothing more than people in Hungary. But in Budapest, this is your territory, two thousand governors' guards and other armed forces deployed in the city, and you have 5,000 soldiers under your command to drive. But there are actually not many armed forces in the city, so as long as you can make up your mind. After the emperor's imperial edict arrives, lead the army to put the Battori family under house arrest and force them to submit. I think it should be successful!"
Alexander thought for a while, and then he found that what Daniel said was indeed very feasible, so he nodded and responded.
After Dafilia led the coalition forces to stop in Frankfurt for a few days, except for leaving 5,000 Pakatans to maintain Frankfurt's orders, the rest of the troops continued to advance westward. Dafilia's target this time was Mainz.
In fact, the day before yesterday, Dafilia's residence welcomed an envoy from Mainz. The envoy, Eltar, proposed an agreement to restore harmony to Dafilia, but the envoy's suggestion was rejected by Dafilia without mercy.
Mainz can be said to be the state that opposes Prussia the most in the Main River basin except Frankfurt. Now the Prussian army is in great power. How could Dafilia let Mainz go? Or even if Dafilia wants to let Mainz go, William would never agree!
As an archbishop's garrison and an electorate, Mainz's wealth is unquestionable. Although the greed of the church has allowed the people of Mainz to bear far better taxes than other regions, its unique geographical location has made the people of Mainz have no worries about not having enough food to eat. It is easy to eat enough food to eat enough food, but in this war-torn era, eating enough food is already a very satisfying thing.
Therefore, in the three Imperial Army operations, Mainz often did not dispatch many troops, but Mainz's soldiers fought the most tenaciously, and there was no doubt about this.
Although Mainz is rich, its population is limited after all. The total population of Mainz is only more than 200,000. After participating in the Imperial Army three times, Mainz's regular army lost more than seven floors, and more than 20,000 Mainz soldiers were injured and killed in the war.
At present, there is only an army of less than 8,000 people left in Mainz, and 5,000 of these 8,000 people are temporarily recruited young and strong.
Eltar, who was already in his eighties, was completely stunned when he learned that Frankfurt was conquered by the Prussians without any effort. Then the violent stimulation caused Eltar's mind to fall into a coma.
God clearly saw that Eltar believed that he had not done anything to do to God, but he had defeated the Prussians three times of military operations against the Prussians. Now the Prussians have arrived at their doorstep, and now Mainz is very difficult to even take out the defense forces.
After Eltar fell into a coma, Bishop Valentine immediately took over the power of the Elector of Mainz, and Valentine rushed to send people to Frankfurt to reach peace with Prussia. On the other hand, Valentine was also prepared for the worst. Several cathedrals and most of the clergy in Mainz were ready to evacuate Mainz. More than a dozen large-capacity merchant ships on the Mainz River are also working overtime. These merchant ships will carry the church property accumulated by Mainz for hundreds of years south along the Rhine River to Karlsruhe.
Obviously, Valentin was ready to give up. Although giving up Mainz was a very cruel order for Valentin, you should know that Eltar had no descendants. As Eltar's deputy, Valentin could inherit the status of Mainz and Archbishop of Mainz after Eltar.
But now giving up Mainz means that Valentine will never be able to become the master of the land under his feet in the future.
But Valentin knew that he had to do this, and it was unrealistic to defend Mainz. The P-English Allied Forces had 60,000 troops, while the defenders in Mainz were even less than 10,000. Such a huge gap in strength and the three consecutive defeats of the Imperial Army have cast a shadow on everyone in Mainz. No one is willing to face the terrible Prussian army.
In this case, there is no other way to go except to give up Mainz.
When the messenger sent by Valentin quickly returned to Mainz and told Valentin about Dafilia's attitude, Valentin's face was already full of depression. Standing on Mainz's dock, looking at the city that could have become his own, Valentin's heart was in a state of depression.
At this time, the unconscious Eltar was also carried by the servants to the dock. Looking at his godfather, Valentine sighed.
Valentine is not only Eltar's deputy, but also Eltar's godson. If the two hadn't had a big difference in appearance, I'm afraid everyone would think that Valentine was Eltar's illegitimate son. Otherwise, why would the Archbishop be interested in a roadside beggar who was more than thirty years younger than him back then?
Sometimes Valentine himself would even secretly wonder if he had any connection with Eltar, otherwise why Eltar, who was in the position of Archbishop at that time, took a fancy to him and accepted himself as his son among the crowd.
During Valentine's growth, Eltar spared no effort to cultivate him, and all this also made Valentine's Ming feel in the world.
"Godfather, God bless you, you must not be in trouble!"
Valentine looked at Eltar lying on the couch and moved to reach out and held Eltar's right hand tightly. Coincidentally, Eltar woke up at this moment.
Looking at his godson, Eltar's face was very complicated. After a while, Eltar could only hear Eltar whisper:
"Wat...Wat...Valentin, I'm sorry...you!"
After saying that, Eltar's eyes were all well, and this situation made Valentine say a little sadly:
"Godfather, stop talking. We don't want Mainz. When we arrive in Karlsruhe, we will find another church to develop God's faith!"
As he said that, Valentine said to the several servants carrying Eltar:
"Come onto the boat and take good care of the Archbishop!"
On August 30, 1791, the Pu army came to the city of Mainz. When the Pu army arrived, the gate of Mainz was wide open. Several church clergymen walked to Dafilia with the keys of the city gate symbolizing the rights of the city and sent it respectfully.
"Save some people to take over Mainz, let's go to Wiesbaden!"
The Prussian army did not stay too much after leaving three regiments in Mainz, and the army rushed to Wiesbaden.
The capture of Wiesbaden means that the Prussian military operation against the Main River Basin was a great success. Therefore, both generals and soldiers of the coalition forces embarked on the journey again with great enthusiasm. Their goal was the last stronghold in the Main River Basin - Wiesbaden.
