Chapter 269: Morale Boosts
The news of Charles VI's recovery of consciousness was like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, floating high into the air from the halls of Vienna and spreading in all directions.
In a sense, the changes brought by this news to the Holy Roman Empire may have been more drastic than the spring breeze in the sky.
The clouds of war that had hung over Vienna were suddenly cleared, and Charles VI stood in the palace hall, radiating boundless light and hope like a brilliant sun, and joy spread around Schönbrunn Palace, inspiring the subjects of the city, and then reaching the ears of the soldiers on the front.
General Ike is standing solemnly in front of the military sand table to deduce the battle situation, the atmosphere in the military tent is very solemn, the gap between the enemy and our forces is too big, no matter how to deduce, the ending is very bad.
Just then, a herald burst in through the door, hurried to General Ike's side, and whispered something.
"What! Your Majesty has regained his senses?! Hearing the herald's report, Ike was shocked to the extreme, and then turned to ecstasy, this commander who is known for his maturity and stability, is also a little unable to contain his excitement at this moment.
The other generals in the military tent heard General Ike's exclamation, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically, first very surprised, and then a little incredulous, and they hurriedly leaned forward to find out the specific situation.
The herald reconfirmed the message, and then handed over a letter bearing the seal of Charles VI and an encouragement to General Ike to hold his ground, signed by His Majesty Emperor Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire.
In addition, the envelope was accompanied by a personal confirmation from the Archbishop of St. Stephen's Church, who vouched for his honor as proof that His Majesty Emperor Charles VI had indeed recovered his sanity.
As a clergyman, the archbishop is punished very harshly for lying, which makes such a guarantee of extraordinary significance, which is enough to show the truth of the matter.
Seeing the archbishop's assurance, General Ike was finally convinced, and immediately he raised his head to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahaha! God has not forsaken us, Vienna, saved! Hahahaha! General Ike laughed so exaggerated that tears came out of his eyes.
Bursts of hearty laughter echoed in the military tent, and listening to this heroic laughter, the other generals in the military tent also laughed, and some even drew their swords, shouting that they would give those Saxon dog mongrels a taste.
The originally low morale instantly climbed to the peak, and the camp tent was already boiling, and several guards guarding outside the military tent looked at each other, not understanding what was going on inside.
It didn't take long for the generals in the camp to suddenly swarm out, each with joy on their faces, and hurriedly ran towards their respective troops.
The squad leader among the several guards wanted to ask, but he was afraid of offending these adults, so he was entangled there for a while, and the soles of his feet seemed to be itchy, and he couldn't stand steadily.
At this time, a general passing by skimmed the situation of this guard squad leader out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't wait to share the joy in his heart with others, so he strode up to the guard squad leader and said happily: "Hahaha, guard, I want to tell you good news, hold on to the camp pillar beside you, so as not to fall to the ground in excitement after hearing it." ”
When several guards behind heard this, they immediately gathered around with curiosity, and they all pricked up their ears to hear what kind of good news it was.
The general also stopped selling his son, and said directly with a smile: "Hahaha, let me tell you, our great and wise Emperor Charles VI, just now, regained his senses!" This news has been confirmed by the archbishop, hahaha, the empire is saved, and we will win this battle! ”
With that, the general left in a hurry, and he hurried back to his camp to tell his soldiers the great news.
The general's voice was still echoing in his ears, but several guards stood in place, as if their minds had stagnated, and it was difficult to understand the meaning of this sentence.
After a while, the guard squad leader had a confused look on his face, his lips trembled, and he turned around and muttered to a few people behind him, "Just now, what did the general mean by what he said just now?" He is saying, our Imperial Majesty, sober?! ”
"Yes! Top dog. One of the guards jumped up excitedly, and then jumped happily and shouted: "Hahaha, long live the great Emperor Charles VI, long live His Majesty the Emperor Charles VI!" ”
The squad leader finally came to his senses, and as the captain, he could better understand what this matter meant to the Habsburgs, to the Empire, and to the representatives of ordinary soldiers.
Because of this, the excitement in his heart was even stronger.
At this moment, I saw him slowly lower his head, take a deep breath, and then suddenly pull out the sword at his waist, hold it in front of his chest, make a knightly salute to the sky in front of him, and then use all his strength to shout: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor Charles VI!" Banzai! Banzai! ”
The other guards around them also shouted in unison, and they were venting their joy in this way.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the entire line of defense, and every soldier in the Habsburg coalition learned about it.
Then, shouts of joy resounded through the mountains, and every soldier in the tens of thousands of allied troops shouted the name of the emperor, and the sound echoed through the valley without stopping for more than half an hour.
On this day, I don't know how many soldiers shed tears of excitement; On this day, these warriors who swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor finally crossed the threshold in their hearts.
From now on, no one said that they were allegiance to a fool, that their Emperor Majesty was not a fool, and that it was a supreme honor to be loyal to him.
The morale of the army was completely boosted, and in the eyes of these soldiers, it seemed that the enemy's strength was far superior to their own was nothing, and everyone was convinced that under the leadership of Charles VI, they finally had hope of victory.
Moreover, to serve such an emperor, even if you die on the battlefield, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
The combat effectiveness of the entire coalition army has at least doubled because of a single piece of news, which is the meaning of an emperor, and what he gives to the team is an extremely strong sense of honor and the courage to die for this honor.
