After sitting for a while, Lieutenant Colonel von Hartmann took his leave with a humble attitude. As he was leaving, he left behind a velvet money bag the size of a sea bowl, filled with heavy silver coins.

It is estimated that there will be at least three thousand silver marks.

The Mannheim Musket Regiment moved to the town of Billum to recuperate, and Lieutenant Colonel von Hartmann, despite his strong efforts to discipline the army, often had soldiers break into the homes. He bullied women along with the money, and even stepped on the silver candlesticks and silver spoons of the church and took them into his arms.

As long as they don't go too far, most of the company captains turn a blind eye.

After all, it is impossible to carry all the gold and silver stolen by the soldiers, and the commanders want to take the lion's share of the profits, who will have trouble with the money?

Richard did not refuse the other party's kindness, but just expressed his gratitude appropriately, which is very in line with today's dress.

The 3,000 marks of silver was not a small amount of money for a Prussian Junker military aristocrat.

"Oh my God, so many pretty silver coins?" Yin Ersa waited until the Prussian prefect had left, and looked at the heavy money bag on the table, the mouth of which was full of silver coins leaking out, which made her exclaim.

Yin Isa was a mature blonde young woman, with snow-white skin and white flashes, and the loudest screams in bed that could be most released, which gave Richard a different experience.

Hearing the exclamation of the eldest sister Yin Ersa, Xiandi hurriedly came out of the kitchen at this time.

Although it had been several days, her expression was still a little uncontrollable, and when she saw Richard's aggressive eyes, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly.

Richard couldn't help but smile

This beautiful village woman to be married was suddenly recruited because the groom was mobilized for war, but she let herself drink the soup, which tasted wonderful!

"Put the purse away, Yinsa and give it to him when your father returns, so that he can make up for his recent losses." Richard waved his hand with a slick expression, not even bothering to touch the purse.

He is a generation of heroes who are rich and rival the country, and these looted goods are not willing to handle them at all, which is a pride from the bottom of his bones, and he inadvertently reveals it.

"Oh God! Is this true? That's a whole bag of silver coins, and your kindness is unbelievable. Yin Ersa couldn't believe his eyes, and his flaming red lips turned into an "O" shape.

After seeing Richard wave his hand impatiently, Yin Ersa finally made sure that the chief was not laughing.

She pounced in surprise, squeezed Richard tightly with her pair of plumpness, hugged the man's head and kissed it selflessly.

This came out suddenly

made Richard stunned, in the court of the Tang Empire, which harem concubine dared to be so presumptuous?

Thinking of his current disguise in an instant, after his body stiffened for a short time, he began to respond enthusiastically to Yin Ersa's unrestrained enthusiasm, making a loud noise.

The enthusiasm of the white girl is not a joke, Yin Ersa writhed her delicate body, almost rubbing the ripe delicate body into Richard's arms, and the dazzling silver coin stimulated the woman's passion, and finally provoked a wave of evil fire in Richard's heart again.

It's too presumptuous, how can it be done without harsh punishment?

He hugged Yin Ersa with a hand, as if he was holding a child, and then turned to the red-faced Xiandi and said; "Put away the money bag first, and then come up to serve the master."

After speaking, without waiting for Xiandi to answer, she strode upstairs with a "kick and foot", and the sound of tearing clothes was heard upstairs......

"Yes, sir."

Xiandi's face was as red as a persimmon, and her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she stretched out her trembling hands to hold the heavy money bag, and after looking left and right, she lowered her head and followed upstairs.

In the small room at the top of the first floor, Emma, who had just quieted down, was holding her pink cheeks, and was fantasizing about her aristocratic lord's heroic posture, and her two feet were playfully playing with the rag doll.

At this time

There was a faint sound of crying from the second floor, and Emma's body immediately froze.

After listening intently for a while, her pretty face suddenly fell, and the red cloud flew up her cheeks, covered her ears with her hands and shouted lamentingly; "Oh my God, is there an end?"

While Richard was mingling with the two sisters in the town of Bilus, enjoying the pleasures of ordinary people, the army of the Kingdom of Prussia was constantly attacking Austria......

Yin Chin area

After winning the Battle of the Elbe, the 2nd Corps, the main force of the Prussian army, took advantage of the situation to move south, biting the tail of the main Austrian army and approaching the Yinchin area, forcing the Austrian army to stop here and turn back to deal with the overwhelming Prussian army.

On June 21, 1860, the Austrian army withdrew to the Königgrötz area on the east bank of the Bistřice River, and began to build strong fortifications on the spot, relying on the favorable terrain on the banks of the river to prepare for a desperate fight.

The Prussian Elbe Corps and the 1st Corps, despite the stubborn resistance of the Austrians, broke through the obstacles and reached Knizhenhów on the Elbe, an area about 37 kilometers away from the 2nd Corps in a day's journey.

At this point, the three major corps of the Prussian army formed a semicircular pincer offensive, and the goal was to entrench the main force of the Austrian Imperial Corps in the Yinchin area.

On 23 June, one of the largest battles of the 19th century took place, and it would become the arena that would decide the fate of Prussia and Austria.

Due to the aggressive offensive of the Prussian army, the main force of the Austrian army had lost its first strike advantage in the repeated retreats, and was faced with the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, which was a general battle that could not afford to lose.

King Wilhelm I of Prussia was there to boost morale, and he rode his horse deep into every infantry regiment to inspire his soldiers to fight for the unity of the German nation and for the glory of the kingdom. Read the book

The Battle of Königgrötz was related to the future fate of Prussia and Austria, and the Austrian Empire could not afford to lose, so how could the Kingdom of Prussia afford to lose?

As Chancellor Bismarck said; "The greater the risk, the greater the return", now the Kingdom of Prussia has drawn a good hand, but it must not be turned against the wind because of heavy rain, and the good game is lost.

"Under the successive victories, the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, which is a good side......" King William, who led a group of high-ranking officials to inspect the barracks and returned, could not hide the fatigue between his brows, pinched his eyebrows with his fingers and continued;

"But to see;

The recent continuous fighting and pursuit have lasted for six days, and the entire legion is already at a rather exhausted level, just holding on with one breath.

Once relaxed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Under the continuous blows of the kingdom's army, the Austrians were now frightened birds, and it was the critical moment to achieve final victory.

Therefore, we must grit our teeth and hold on, and launch a full-scale battle tomorrow to completely crush the main force of the Austrian corps and lay the foundation for victory. ”

"Your Majesty's order will be carried out thoroughly, may God bless Prussia." General Moltke replied without hesitation.

Since the main force of the Prussian army crossed the Sudetenland, it flocked to the Elbe area like a tiger out of a cage, during which it broke out a series of battles with the Austrian army, successively defeated the Austrian First Army, the Fifth Army and other main forces, overcame extreme fatigue and fought hard, and won the Battle of the Elbe again.

These days

The officers and men of the corps and divisions marched through the starry night except for the battle, clenched the buttocks of the main force of the Austrian corps, and marched except for the battle, and fell into the wheat field on the side of the road and slept for three or four hours, then got up and continued the pursuit.

Without a strong will to fight and a high degree of discipline, the army would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.

Due to the rapid advance of the main force of the corps, there were now serious difficulties in logistics and supply, forcing the Prussian army to adopt the strategy of "feeding the enemy" and sweeping the villages and towns in the Austrian-occupied areas to raise grain and grass to ensure the current vigorous offensive momentum.

Whether it is barley, wheat or soybeans, whether it is ploughing cattle, mules and horses, donkeys, pigs and sheep and other livestock and poultry, all of them are among the conscriptions of the general army, and even began to organize manpower to harvest immature wheat, even if a lot of waste is not hesitated.

In a word, the priority is to ensure the rations of the army.

It is true that the strategy of "feeding the enemy" will harm the civilian population in the occupied areas, but who cares?

"What do you think, dear General Chen?" King William was under great pressure before the Great War and had not seen a smile for many days.

Admiral Chen Chuan raised his hand and saluted, and said with a determined look on his face;

"Your Majesty the King;

There is no doubt that the final victory of the war will easily fall into the hands of His Majesty like ripe fruit.

Now the only doubt is

His Majesty is going to throw it away after two bites, but he is still going to eat this ripe fruit in its entirety and win a complete victory. ”

His words aroused the curiosity of King William, and he looked at General Moltke, the chief of staff of the Prussian army beside him, with a surprised expression, and asked in a deep voice; "Does it make a difference?"

"One is to defeat, the other is to annihilate everything, that's all." Admiral Chen Chuan replied without mince words.

General Moltke, who was standing on the sidelines, had already realized that the General Staff Headquarters had made an unforgivable mistake, and his face was blackened.

The pre-war deployment only took into account how to defeat the main force of the Austrian corps, but did not take into account how to expand the results of the battle and completely annihilate the enemy army after defeating the enemy.

On the one hand, this was due to the inexperience of the Prussian General Staff Headquarters in organizing large-scale battles, and on the other hand, it was a gross dereliction of duty, which was simply unforgivable.

In the original history

The Battle of Koenig Gretz ended with a great victory for the Prussian army, and although the Austrian army suffered more than 45,000 casualties and prisoners, the main Austrian army, about 260,000 people, still retreated safely.

Not fully done, which was deeply regretted by the Prussian army.

The Prussian army suffered more than 13,000 casualties in the battle, and after this battle, the final fate of the war was decided, and the Austrian Empire was no longer able to fight, and after more than half a year of negotiations, an armistice was formally signed the following year.

The most regrettable part of the Battle of König Gretz is;

The Prussian officers and men were exhausted from continuous marching and fighting, and the three corps of the 1st, 2nd and Elbe were scattered across the vast field and mixed with some units of the Austrian army, and the situation on the battlefield was quite chaotic.

Some Prussian troops stopped to clean up the battlefield, some Prussian troops gave up after a little pursuit, and some Prussian troops could not support themselves after deep pursuit, so they could only watch the main force of the Austrian army seize the road and flee......

The Prussian high command was confined to backward means of battlefield communications, and it was too late to realize this major mistake. Unable to command and adjust in time, and thus unable to organize an effective tactical pursuit, the Austrian army avoided the doom of total annihilation.

While Richard sent a telegram to return Ping'an, he briefly clicked on the question in code, and Admiral Chen Chuan wasted no time in raising it on the right occasion.

General Chen Chuan's words made King William and General Moltke change color suddenly, to tell the truth, due to the lack of experience in large-scale battles, the General Staff Headquarters of the Prussian Army really did not realize this fatal flaw in the battle plan.

This is reflected in military deployments

That is, the General Staff Headquarters of the Prussian Army will focus its main attention on the general battle that will break out tomorrow, and ignore the deployment of the main army corps and cavalry divisions to pursue and annihilate the enemy army after the victory of the battle.

After Chen Chuan gently mentioned a word, King William, General Moltke and a group of high-ranking generals couldn't sit still, and almost stood up in unison to leave.

They must immediately convene a supreme military council to make arrangements for the relevant matters, so as not to delay the progress of tomorrow's general battle.

On this vast battlefield with a radius of more than 100 square kilometers, a series of questions such as which unit pursued in which direction after the war, how to make overall arrangements for the battle sequence, and how the cavalry cooperated with the main force of infantry to occupy key cities and towns must all be clearly and clearly issued in the form of orders.

It was necessary to let the front-line commander know how to continue the fight after defeating the main Austrian force until he won a complete victory.

In order to prepare for this war, the Kingdom of Prussia almost mobilized the whole country, how could it be willing to stop just by defeating the main force of the Austrian army?

"Dear General Chen, this valuable suggestion you have made is very important, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia, and guarantee that the Tang Empire will always be a close transatlantic ally of the Kingdom of Prussia."

On the occasion of parting

King William hurriedly asked a few words with a serious expression, and then said with a hint of apology; "The military situation is urgent, I have to leave now, and the Germans never like to give up halfway. Let us meet again at the banquet of victory, when I will drink the wine of victory with General Chen. ”

"I look forward to it, Your Majesty." Admiral Chen Chuan replied with a humble expression.

"Okay."

King William glanced at Admiral Chen Chuan deeply, and the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and after saying "yes" heavily, he turned around and strode out of the camp, he wanted to personally participate in this supreme military meeting and make important decisions.

This mood is like school is going to start tomorrow, and suddenly someone woke up, and I thought that half of the summer homework I had done was not completed, and I was really anxious to urinate.

Admiral Chen Chuan sent him outside with emotion, and he raised his eyes to look;

It was almost dusk

The sunset reflects the clear blue sky, and the undulating hilly area is full of densely packed tents as far as the eye can see.

Located on the banks of the Upper Elbe, on the high ground between Kenigliets and Sadowa, the clear water of the river flows slowly, unaware that an unprecedented war is about to break out and rivers of blood are flowing.

The soldiers of the Frusk Flintlock Regiment wore beanie caps on their heads and blue and red-trimmed uniforms, and marched through the camp in a procession, their tired expressions visible from the dirty uniforms and dust on their faces, but their morale was still high.

Admiral Chen Chuan nodded secretly;

He greatly admired the high discipline and obedience of the Prussian army, which were the basic conditions for a good soldier, and the Germans happened to have all of them, and they were integrated into the national character.

With a piece of black bread in their arms, these Prussian soldiers were able to fight without sleep until they were shot and fell, and their tenacity to fight was unmatched in all of Europe.

Isn't it a blessing to lead such an army in battle?
