In order to deal with Napoleon's possible attack, William and Dessau decided to send the 7th Division, which had been crippled in the Battle of Bratnaxi, and the 4th Division, which had been severely damaged, to the rear.
It is to facilitate the supply of the two divisions above. After all, the general structure of the two divisions is still there, and there are many local government supply barracks from the Bohemia Front to Brandenburg. According to William's estimates
, this way, even if the two divisions do not recover to their previous scale, at least the total strength of 12,000 people is still possible.
In addition, there are 5,000 militias in Brandenburg, and in Duisburg of the Holy Roman Empire, there are two divisions jointly formed by the city-states of the Holy Roman Empire controlled by the Prussians. If this is added,
, the total force will reach a considerable 40,000 people.
Of course, William had already ordered people to hurry to Duisburg. William issued a death order, and he must pass the order to the Holy Roman Empire before Napoleon's troops set foot on the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
In William's plan, the forty thousand people will be concentrated in the Hannover area, and then join the Hannover defenders to fight Napoleon.
January 1793
The news that the Hungarian army was severely damaged was passed back to Hungary, and the news immediately caused a shock to the entire Hungary like a bombshell.
All the nobles who sent troops to join the Hungarian army gathered in Budapest, and the purpose of their gathering was to ask Alexander for an explanation.
Faced with so many excited Hungarian nobles, on the one hand, Alexander asked Daniel to persuade these nobles with kind words. On the other hand, he did not forget to comfort these nobles, and a large amount of supplies were taken out from the warehouse of the Hungarian Governor's Office.
Reward these nobles.
Daniel, who was so busy that he couldn't get any ground, took a loophole and pulled Alexander aside and said:
"Governor-General. This will not work. The materials in the Governor's warehouse are used to ensure the completion of Vienna's mission. Fairy, these materials are used to comfort these Hungarian nobles. If we cannot get the requested by Vienna, then
Your position is hanging!”
Daniel's words made Alexander feel restless. Of course, he knew that these supplies should not be moved lightly. You must know that these supplies were all prepared by Alexander to form another 70,000 troops required by Vienna. At present, another 40,000 people have been recruited in Hungary.
Originally, this task was expected to be completed. But now, if these Hungarian nobles make trouble, it will become a big problem whether there is enough supplies.
"Daniel, how many possessions do we have left?"
"Governor General, our current supplies are only enough to arm an army of ten thousand people, and the previously stored gold and silver in the warehouse have consumed a lot of money. If we don't wait for us to collect all the troops, I'm afraid even the military pay we had previously recruited would be
Can't send it out!"
Alexander has no treasure pot. His money was not made for no reason. On the one hand, the tax he collected from Hungary over the years, and a large part of it was his fiancée, the Barrit family.
The dowry contributed by Sarbela. The other part is Alexander's savings since he was so old. In order to complete the mission of Vienna, his father and ministers can be said to have taken out his own abilities.
All belongings.
Originally, according to Alexander's estimate, the money and supplies were enough for him to train another 70,000 troops. But now who knew that the troops sent to the Bohemia front had been severely damaged, and the losses of more than 10,000 people almost cost Alexander the loss of nearly 10,000 people.
He has made a lot of old capital. After all, the pensions for those sacrificed soldiers were something Alexander had to take out.
Moreover, while Alexander needed to provide relief to the fallen soldiers, the Hungarian nobles also saw the opportunity to ask Alexander for conditions, but Alexander could only satisfy them. Otherwise, these nobles would not work hard. Where did Alexander go
While gathering the remaining troops, even the troops that have been recruited may be disintegrated.
"Daniel, what other good idea do you have?"
"Governor General. Since ancient times, there are only two ways to save money. One is to open source and the other is to reduce expenditure. At present, it is impossible to reduce expenditure. Only the method of opening up source can be imagined, but this method is really...
....”
"Daniel, what's the matter? Just say it quickly, don't hide it!"
Seeing Daniel considering it, Alexander urged him anxiously. Hearing Alexander's urging, Daniel said with a embarrassed look on his face:
"At present, we can only find a way from these Hungarian nobles, or do you go to the Barrit family to see it?"
Hearing Daniel say this, Alexander's expression on his face became a little depressed:
"Daniel, you don't know. Since the last time I went to the Barrit family, the old fox of Barrit has not known where he has hid, so he sent Isabella's dowry.
I don’t know where Isabella is. I think that old fox is unreliable!”
Hearing Alexander say this, Daniel had to lower his head. In order to recruit the 30,000 troops sent to Bohemia, Alexander personally led his troops to surround the Barrit family. Although under Alexander's strength, Barrit agreed.
Alexander's request not only agreed to Alexander's request to marry Isabella, but also agreed to send soldiers to join Alexander's army. The next day afterwards, Barrit sent a large number of gold and silver treasures and said it was I.
Sarbella's dowry.
At that time, Alexander thought that the Barrit family had surrendered, so he lifted the blockade of the Barrit family. However, less than a week later, when Alexander came to see Barrit again, he found that only three kittens were left in a huge family manor.
Two, the entire Barrit family's direct lineage disappeared.
This incident made Alexander depressed for many days.
At this moment, Daniel said to Alexander as if he had made up his mind:
"Your Highness, do you know that General Napoleon of France wiped out the British Expeditionary Force in Antwerp?"
"I know this news! But what does this have to do with us?"
"Your Highness, you should know that Napoleon wiped out the British expeditionary force, so how should the Prussians deal with themselves? You should know that after this battle, Napoleon's army still had more than 50,000 troops, and so many troops were concentrated in
What else can Prussia on the front line resist?”
Hearing this, Alexander had some interest on his face.
"Your Highness, I think the Prussians must have drawn most of the troops to the Western Front to guard against the attack of Napoleon's army. In this way, it can be foreseen that during this period, Grand Duke Tuha had deported many troops against the Prussians who had drawn many troops.
There should be no pressure......"
"Okay, Daniel, just explain it to me!"
"Your Highness!"
Daniel shouted and then knelt on the ground. Alexander was confused by Big Nier's actions, and only saw Daniel continue to say:
"Your Highness, what I say now is absolutely true. After you finish speaking, it will be up to you to kill or cut! It seems that the Emperor has never been willing to inherit the throne, otherwise, you have done this a while ago.
The 30,000 men aided by Grand Duke Tuha are enough to make you shine with Vienna, but His Majesty the Emperor did not transfer you back, but asked you to continue to stay in Hungary. On the one hand, it seems to be a value to you, but in the following view,
It's totally a way to make you lose your thoughts on the throne!"
When Alexander heard Daniel say this, he was stunned. Then he thought deeply and felt something was reasonable, but Alexander was unwilling to believe it. He waved his hand and smiled at Daniel:
"Daniel, stop kidding, how could Father treat me like this!"
"Your Highness, wake up! How could Franz do you have to be the crown prince? If it weren't for the support of His Majesty the Emperor, then Franz could have created such a great momentum? You should know that His Highness Franz is the best
But you have been familiar with government affairs in the imperial government, but you were exiled from Vienna early, which seemed to be entrusted to you, but from the moment you came to Hungary, you stood opposite to the Austrian ministers, and
How could those Austrian ministers allow a Hungarian governor to inherit the throne?”
Alexander's expression was changing while Daniel was talking
"Your Highness, everyone in the entire empire knows the situation in Hungary, but that's it. After you tried your best to support the empire for 30,000 troops, His Majesty the Emperor actually made you contribute another 70,000 troops at the suggestion of Franz.
Some words have been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have always had an idea. In fact, letting you assist the front-line army is a disguised consumption of your strength. Moreover, if these Hungarian troops suffer too much loss, then at that time, you
Even the hearts of Hungary will be lost!
Now it is an opportunity for you. The Vienna army is on the Bohemia frontline. There are only a few thousand guards in the entire Vienna area, but the Hungarian army under our command is as huge as 40,000!
Sometimes, fighting for the throne is not only about who makes a great contribution, but also whoever has more troops will get the throne!"
After saying that, Daniel buried his head deeply on the ground.
Shortly after Daniel finished speaking, Alexander seemed to know the Daniel in front of him for the first time. He looked at Daniel carefully. Not long after, Alexander excitedly pulled out the sword from his waist and pressed it on Daniel's neck.
"Tell me, whose person are you? What are the plans for being with me for so long?"
