Chapter 703 A desperate move
Korezhennikov didn’t think Poland’s surrender was any surprise.
Poland suffered heavy casualties on the frontal battlefield, and it was only a matter of time before it surrendered. However, they did not expect that the king would personally come to surrender.
This kind of thing is usually done by the Polish commander on the opposite side. The king only needs to sign. After all, this is a shame that will be recorded in history.
Piatori looked a little flustered, clasped his hands and said: "Actually, His Majesty the King's situation is not very good.
"You know, His Majesty and His Majesty the Tsar have...well, some friendship.
"Your Majesty has not wanted to be an enemy of the powerful Russia from the beginning, but those guys in the Parliament, in order to control more power to force the army to go to war with you. This is absolutely not His Majesty's intention. "
Korezhennikov snorted coldly: "Then your Majesty, let's solve the troubles in your parliament first. "
"That's what your Majesty plans. "Piatori nodded and said, "Restrict parliament, abolish the constitution, return the rights of the nobility, and everything will return to the way it was before. But all this requires the help of the great Russia. "
Korezhennikov couldn't help but squinted his eyes - if the King of Poland could be used to deal with their parliament, they could provoke a civil war in Poland, and it would be much easier for the Russian army to conquer.< br>
In fact, historically, Russia was able to defeat Poland within a month largely because it relied on the Tagovica Alliance to provoke a civil war in Poland and contain the power of the Polish government forces.
He glanced at the secretary of the King of Poland: "So, what does your Majesty want to do?"
"Surrender." Piatorli said without hesitation, "As long as your Majesty surrenders to your country, Poland will Resistance will stop soon, those guys in the council have nothing against your army The power of resistance."
Krezhennikov suddenly laughed: "Do you think I am easy to fool? Don't think that I don't know, you just want to delay my attack.
“Go back and tell Stanislaw II not to be clever. I will personally lead the army to Warsaw! ”
Piattoli almost begged: "General, I swear, this is definitely not a scam.
"Your Majesty will show you his complete sincerity, and then in the most humble manner, beg for forgiveness from His Majesty the Tsar. "
"Sincerity? "Korezhennikov said disdainfully, "Should I send you to tell big words, or send a cheap document to St. Petersburg? "
"No, there are still generals loyal to His Majesty in the army. You will soon see armies that have offended you surrender to you. Of course, Your Majesty still needs a little time, three days, and you will see the results after three days. "
Korezhennikov was hesitating when he heard Piatoli say again: "Of course, if you still don't believe in His Majesty's sincerity, Your Majesty will have no choice but to discuss it with General Morkov. It's about this. Although Kyiv is slightly further from St. Petersburg. ”
Korezhennikov frowned.
Whoever the King of Poland surrenders to will definitely become the biggest hero in the Polish-Russian War.
Originally, Morkov's side was the main attacker. If he was allowed to get this credit again, he would be almost ignored in this war.
He remembered that his staff had mentioned in the morning that the army's artillery shell reserves were low, and it would be better to wait for three days to replenish logistical supplies.
It’s only three days and it won’t have any impact on the battle situation.
"Okay, I'll just wait three days." Korezhennikov nodded, and then threatened, "But if you dare to fool me, I will make you pay a heavy price."
Three days later .
In a small village controlled by the Russian army, Stanislaw II stepped down from the carriage, raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and said silently in his heart: It has been three days. Warsaw still needs 37 days.
He saw the Russian general surrounded by guards from a distance, and immediately showed a humble smile and said in Russian: "I remember we met at the ball in the Winter Palace, distinguished Korezhennikov General, you are still outstanding."
Krezhennikov nodded to him: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also listened to your performance." "So, where is your sincerity? Don't give me a document with only your signature. ”
Stanislaw II waved to the carriage following him: "General Bilak, please come down."
The door of the carriage behind opened, and a square-faced blond middle-aged man The young man got out of the car first, followed by three officers.
Korezhennikov’s pupils shrank immediately.
The man at the front is clearly the commander-in-chief of the Minsk garrison in Poland, Birak, and those behind him are also his senior officers.
Birak came over, forced a smile, raised his hat and saluted: "It's an honor to see you here, General Korezhennikov."
"Your commanding art admires us endlessly." We would never fight your army unless those guys in the Council forced us to do so.
"And Your Majesty has given us a chance, I will order the army in Minsk to surrender to you."
A Polish officer behind him continued: "Our army can even serve as a forward , help you capture Pinsk and reach Warsaw!”
Koreznikov was ecstatic.
The King of Poland turned out to be serious! If the nearly 30,000 Polish troops in front of him surrender, he can march directly to Pinsk.
The speed of this advance will be much faster than that guy from Morkov!
He immediately smiled: "Very good. Then please send your soldiers to Borisov immediately, and I will arrange for people to accept surrender there."
"I will be happy to do so. "Come on, General." Bilak bowed slightly, then looked embarrassed, "But please forgive me, I still have a little problem to solve."
"Oh?"
"Before, my people killed many brave Russian soldiers, all because of the damn war. But they are worried about retaliation..."
"I can guarantee their safety."
Bilak nodded and said: "Tell the truth. Well, they hope to get a letter of pardon from His Majesty the Tsar.
“Yes, I tried to persuade them, but you know, let alone the soldiers, even the junior officers have not seen much of the world. In their minds, only the will of His Majesty the Tsar counts. "
Korezhennikov stroked the hilt of his sword and sneered: "Hmph, it seems you still want to lie to me. ”
"No, that's not the case." Billak said anxiously, "Look, I come here with full sincerity."
He gestured to the distance: "You just said that you want our army to surrender. I have brought it. It is next to the jungle two miles away." At this moment, a Russian cavalryman came and whispered to Korezhennikov.
The latter suddenly frowned: "17 cars?"
"Yes, General."
Bilak hurriedly said: "There are flintlock guns, tents, and military uniforms in there. There are some more at the back, please check them."
Stanislaw II came over at the right time and was very polite. Said: "You have seen, general, this is my sincerity.
"After that, I will go to St. Petersburg in person to submit a letter of surrender to His Majesty the Tsar. After your majesty grants the pardon, Bealak's army will all be under your command. ”
