Chapter 603 Different battlefields (asking for monthly votes)
When the Polish commander Lieutenant General Kosciuszko saw the enemy’s cavalry moving, he immediately ordered the officers beside him to have his four cavalry squadrons at any time. Prepare reinforcements.
The Hussars are the symbol of the Polish army and must ensure victory in every battle, at least before the decisive battle with the Russians.
Therefore, Kosciuszko would wait until the battle situation was clear and he was sure of victory every time before he would put the newly formed wing cavalry into the battlefield, allowing them to establish their prestige by terminating the enemy's forces.
Of course, the winged cavalry themselves are elites selected from thousands of cavalry. Their equipment level and salary are the highest in the Polish army, and their morale is also astonishingly high.
As soon as the Serbian cavalry and hussars came into contact, they were rushed to pieces.
Hussars commander Antoni Madalinsky immediately detached a squadron to pursue the enemy cavalry. The other soldiers circled north, reorganized their ranks, and then waved their red-handled sabers and attacked the Serbian infantry. among.
An hour and a half later, Kosciuszko looked at the enemy troops that had escaped from sight and ordered the pursuit to stop.
The order given to him by Prince Poniatowski was to train the army in actual combat as much as possible. He judged that in this battle just now, he had captured and killed at least nearly a thousand Serbs. If he continued to pursue them, he would probably catch them all, and then there would be no chance of actual combat.
He suppressed the guilt in his heart, turned to the Austrian commander beside him and said:
"Our reconnaissance on the north bank of the Sava River is not detailed enough, and a deep pursuit may fall into an enemy ambush."
The latter was used to his cautious command style and immediately praised him. Not much else was said.
On the other side, the hussars escorting more than 300 Serbian prisoners returned to the camp proudly, their feathers behind them shining brightly in the sunset. The Polish soldiers around them all looked at them with envy and reverence.
Not to mention the performance of the Hussars, their stylish appearance alone is enough to make all soldiers drool.
The pair of wings behind them are made of ostrich feathers sandwiched between thin steel bars and weigh only 11 pounds. They are all customized from French fashion companies, and the price is as high as 50 francs... Well, the Lyon Textile Industry Association provides loans, otherwise poor Poland would really not be able to afford these wings.
The effect of actual combat training is also very significant.
These new recruits who have just arrived from Poland have only completed the most basic formation and shooting training, but after several months of fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield, they have obviously lost their virginity. The jerkiness.
Not to mention how high the combat effectiveness is, at least he won't be so frightened that he forgets to reload his ammunition when someone dies next to him, which is almost equivalent to the results of two years of training in the military camp.
……
Petersburg.
Hermitage.
When Pladen Zubov saw the old face of Stanislaw II appearing at the door, his mood immediately became as bad as walking for a day in the mud in late autumn.
Ekaterina II also seemed a little surprised. She looked at Stanislaw II, who was bowing and saluted, and said:
"I thought you were busy when you went back to preside over legislation. "A long time."
"Oh, you know, it was originally going to be a long time," "Old Bacon" looked back at the Tsar sincerely, "but the longing in my heart made it impossible for me to do it with peace of mind. Anything, so I signed the piece of paper and rushed back immediately.”
Catherine II glanced at the "little fresh meat" beside her and seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She waved her hand for him to go down first, and then said to the "old bacon": "Stasi, maybe you should seriously ask about Poland." As far as I know, many upright nobles have been treated unfairly by this law."
"Oh, Your Majesty, can we talk about the Constitution later. "Old bacon" said, motioning to the attendant at the door to bring his guitar, and said impatiently, "I composed this song when I was missing you on my way back to Warsaw. I must play it immediately." Here you go.
“Oh, I called it AmoursInterdits. "
Ekaterina II showed a kind smile and nodded:
"I'm looking forward to it too."
The sound of the guitar sounded and slowly swayed through the room, as if gently stroking the softest part of the Tsar's heart, making her instantly intoxicated.
This song is almost synonymous with later generations of guitars. Its Chinese name is "Romance of Love", which is soft and graceful, like a lover whispering a plain and sweet past in the ear.
After Stanislaw II received this piece of music from the French Dauphin, he prepared to use it as a weapon.
And today is the time to use it.
He knew very well that the new constitution had eliminated many of Poland's long-standing abuses and would enable Poland to regain its strength and even regain its strength. At the same time, the Constitution inevitably touches the interests of the great nobility and Russian forces - if the interests of these vampires are not taken back, Poland will only remain weak forever.
So, although Russia claims not to interfere with Polish legislation on the surface, it has actually been secretly instigating pro-Russian forces in Poland to obstruct the emergence of a constitution.
This is also the reason why the Polish constitution has been prepared for more than ten years and has only been born with difficulty.
Once the Polish Constitution is adopted, it will surely anger Russia.
What Joseph did not tell him was that in history, just one year after the May 3rd Constitution was adopted at the Great Sejm, Russia brazenly sent troops to invade Poland.
At present, although Joseph has asked the Poles to reduce the radical provisions in the constitution as much as possible and firmly focus on the Tagovica Alliance that served as the "leading party" for Russia during the "Second Melon", the risk of Russia sending troops is still very high.
Soon, the song ended. Catherine II thought about it for five or six minutes before opening her eyes and applauding "Old Bacon" gently:
"You No less than those geniuses in Vienna. I want to hear it again."
"This is for you, you can listen to it as many times as you want."
Star. Nisław II immediately set up his guitar again.
Afterwards, he played "Myheartwillgoon" and other songs, and then started the process of reminiscing the sweet times with the Tsar as usual. It was not until dusk that the latter ended this special "date" tiredly and contentedly, appearing to be in a good mood. .
Stanislaw II put away his instruments and was about to leave when he heard Catherine II say:
“There is still some time before dinner, why don’t you tell me What’s the situation with the Polish Constitution? Didn’t you just come back from Warsaw?”
The King of Poland paused, secretly thinking that what should come will eventually come.
He turned around and smiled:
"Dear Your Majesty, there is really nothing to say. You know, Poland is too poor. The ministers have discussed for a long time and believe that they need to give those people below some protection and hope, so that they will work harder to make money and pay taxes. Oh. , This can also contribute to Russia’s strength.”
