Chapter 314: The Father
"As for why I have so much to do to bring down the two great families of Vetina and Hohenzollern...... Charles VI's narration did not stop, and as he said this, a gentle smile appeared in the corner of his eye, an expression that only comes when he thinks of his beloved.
"If the two of their big families can sign that state edict decisively like you, things won't be so troublesome." Speaking of this, Charles VI smiled at the Duke of Gi'an and expressed his gratitude for his decisiveness.
"No wonder...... Turns out you're here for this. Duke Ji'an responded to Charles VI's smile, and his mood was also quite relaxed, because now, he finally sorted out all the consequences of Charles VI's actions, and every line of events was clearly presented in front of his eyes at this moment.
"It's really hard for you, you can give so much for your daughter, there are few people in the world who can do it." Speaking with a sigh, Duke Gian thought of his granddaughter Margarita, and he suddenly felt that what he had done for Margarita was a little too little.
General Ike also understood, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Princess Maria and the 1713 state edict about succession?" ”
Charles VI nodded in acknowledgment of General Ike's question, and then continued: "Of all the princes, only the two great families of Vetina and Hohenzollern have the highest opposition, as long as I can overwhelm these two great families through this war, I can force them to sign the edict of state, and Maria's inheritance is equivalent to being recognized by the entire empire!" ”
"That way, when I'm too old to be useful, Maria will be able to continue the glory of our Habsburgs, like the Queen of England......"
The words fell, and the hall fell into a long silence.
Charles VI was a little tired from talking too much, coupled with the ease of telling the secret, so he sat down directly in the chair after speaking, and the whole person relaxed.
General Ike and the Duke of Ji'an were shocked by the long-term planning of Charles VI and the toughness of the execution, a bureau that has been arranged for more than ten years, how many variables there will be during the period, and how many possibilities, all these things have been controlled by Charles VI, and everything has developed according to his expectations.
Now, it has finally reached the point of the final end, but it is this last link, and there is a slight difference.
"Lorraine, that old thing, I must settle accounts with him when I go back." Lying on the chair and taking a breath, Charles VI scolded angrily and said: "Such a big crisis, he actually sent so many old, weak, sick and disabled to join my coalition army, because he usually behaves well, but I didn't expect to leak at a critical moment." ”
The Duke of Ji'an also sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Alas, the true nature of a businessman, that's it, it's a pity that a terrible disease broke out in my place, and in this matter, I didn't provide much strength to support you." ”
Charles VI planned everything well, but at this last moment, when it was necessary to mobilize soldiers to defend the territory, he failed to mobilize enough forces.
Originally, according to his estimate, with a little more effort on the Duke of Lorraine's side, plus the soldiers of the Duke of Ji'an, their defensive strength might be weaker than those two big families, but there would not be much of a gap.
But there were problems with both of them, which made their forces seem to be stretched in an instant, and every battle was extremely difficult, especially now, they were in some kind of desperate situation.
Talking about military affairs, General Ike was finally able to interject, only to see him rub his eyebrows, and asked with a solemn expression: "The city wall of Vienna, we can only hold on to it, but if we really can't hold it, what should we do?" ”
Charles VI shook his head, he had planned the layout for a long time, but after all, it was an accident, there was a sentence in front of General Ike, he did not say it.
That is, in this layout, there is actually one of the biggest surprises, that is, the illness of Prince Eugen.
Originally, all the plans were carried out by Charles VI and Prince Eugen alone, in their opinion, even when it came to the final battle, as long as Prince Eugen was there, they had the strength to turn the tide, even if they were weak in terms of troops, it was not a big deal.
However, Prince Eugen suddenly fell seriously ill and could not command the war, which suddenly became their biggest flaw, and although General Ike was able to do so, he was much worse than Prince Eugen after all.
But then again, if Prince Eugen hadn't fallen ill, the two great families of Vetina and Hohenzollern would not have launched a full-scale attack so early, and it was uncertain who would be the bait and who would be the prey on both sides.
In the end, the Duke of Ji'an raised his head helplessly, leaned back in his chair and sighed and said: "Alas, that's it, everything depends on God's will, and success or failure will be determined in these two days." ”
Above the roof, raindrops fell on the bricks and tiles, splashing in all directions.
The sky was still covered with thick clouds, and the rain did not seem to have abated, but everyone knew that the torrential rain would stop sooner or later.
Sooner or later, those who should come will return, Habsburg, Vetina, Hohenzollern...... Everyone waited silently, the final, decisive moment.
However, in the mountains south of Vienna, there is such a group of people hiding in the woods, but they can no longer wait, and they are about to start the operation in advance.
Normally, if you want to know the origin of an army, you can identify it by its flags, but if you look at the flags of this army, you will fall into a dizzying situation.
There are only about 1,000 people in total, and there are as many as 100 kinds of flags, and on average, every 10 people carry a unique form of flag.
Moreover, the equipment of the soldiers in the team is also a little strange, they are wearing infantry armor and weapons, but everyone is riding on a war horse, making it difficult to tell whether they are infantry or cavalry.
At this moment, the team was cautiously cats in the mountain forest, in front of them, over a ridge, where the Prussian camp was located, and the straight-line distance between the two sides would not exceed five kilometers, which could be said to be quite close.
With the speed of war horses, it only took about ten minutes for them to cross this distance and resist the Prussian camp.
