Chapter 180: The Eve of the Battle
However, Franz opted for a rear-naked choke, and the girl was completely unconscious after a few seconds.
Although it is not known what the other side is going to do, it is certain that it is related to the upcoming Polish Restoration Army.
At the rate of the previous march of the Poles, they would reach Dorobich by 10 a.m. tomorrow.
In fact, there were times when Franz still admired these Poles, because none of the messengers came to the Yałudski estate to report the news in the past few days.
Although Franz had instructed all parties not to waste the precious lives of the signal corps, theoretically speaking, even if there was no military action, local action should be taken.
However, the reality is that Franz did not receive any information about the enemy attack, and he still prepared a set of scripts to sell his reputation.
However, it seems that it is not needed now, but this is not a good thing, and the lack of intelligence means that there are still a large number of Polish Zionists in Galicia, and their energy is still huge.
At the same time, it also means that Franz needs to clean up more thoroughly, and many people will die.
Franz rang the bell, accompanied by the knocking of three long and one short Bordeaux.
"Grand Duke, you call me?"
"Come in."
As soon as Bordeaux entered the door, he saw Mademoiselle Celestina, who was tied up sturdily, with a towel in her mouth, but the former did not say anything, after all, as a qualified chamberlain, he would not dictate the personal hobbies of the Grand Duke.
But Franz didn't want the other party to misunderstand anything, so he explained.
"There may be a war tomorrow, but she's better to stay with me and be safe. However, this young lady has probably been brainwashed by the Polish Restoration Army, so in order not to let her hurt me or herself, she still controlled it first. ”
Bordeaux nodded cooperatively, not wanting to say his opinion on this, but asked.
"Your Highness, I will tell Colonel Monta to step up his vigilance. Do you need a retreat plan now? ”
"No, you don't! It's a joke if I run away before I see those rebels, and I'm not here just to be bait.
In addition, tell everyone to be careful of the inner ghosts, you sent people to take care of those important people of the Yasusky family. In particular, the diet of war horses and soldiers must be paid attention to. ”
Although Franz has absolute confidence in the combat power of the army in his hands, he does not want to capsize in the gutter.
Equipping and training is important, but that doesn't mean that the better equipped and more well-trained side will win.
A true army can only be formed in the tempering of blood and fire, and the current Polish Restoration Army is his testing stone.
In fact, the main thing is to try the effect of the new equipment in actual combat, on the other hand, it is to establish their own authority, and at the same time, it is also to let this group of people understand what they should do.
"Yes! I'll do it right away. What about civil servants and their dependents? ”
"Naturally, they are gathered together to protect it, and now what are you afraid of startling the snake? Vikhliu Yałudski is ready to do it, and there is no need for us to continue selling flaws.
If they were taken hostage by these insects, they would waste more lives. ”
"Yes!"
Bordeaux and Mia Artières, who have been collecting evidence of the Yaszudski family in recent days, have come to only one conclusion:
"There are people who really don't deserve to live."
Vikhliu Yasudsky dared to kill at the age of ten, and when he was young, he stepped into Lvov, and the number of people who died under his horse's hooves is unknown.
Old Count Yałudski was heavily indebted, but the old man still doted on his only son, and thought that he was just playing too hard, and that sooner or later he would understand.
But the old Count Yałsudski did not wait for that day, when an eagle raised by Vikhlius Yałudski pecked the eyes of an Austrian nobleman.
The latter, on the other hand, refused to reconcile and insisted on putting Vikhliu Yałudski in prison. The old earl was so anxious that he couldn't afford to fall ill.
Soon after, the old count died, and instead of being imprisoned, Vikhlius Yałudsky disappeared in Lviv.
After that, many people related to Vikhlius Yałudski disappeared, which is why there was only one adopted daughter in the huge Yałudski estate.
After Bordeaux left, Franz looked at Celestina, who was still a little dazed, and sighed.
"That's the big problem. I just hope she doesn't have too much to do with this adoptive father. ”
On the other hand, Vikhliu Yasudski's steward was in trouble, because these thousands of uninvited guests kept the entire manor airtight, and he could not find any opportunity to attack.
Vikhliu Yałudski was planning an escape route with his most trusted guard captain, and after a period of contact, he felt that he might have to leave a way back for himself.
After all, the Grand Duke Franz didn't look very smart, and if the group of fools in Krakow failed, he could still rely on his adopted daughter's relationship to get on the thigh of the Habsburgs.
Although he did not want to admit it, one of the nobles in Galicia at this time was counted as a nobility, and all of them were, compared to the Habsburgs.
Vikhliu Yasudsky is already the richest man in Lviv with 400 guards himself, but he can bring 3,000 elite cavalry out to play, which is really more popular than people.
In fact, he had already prepared a way out, and the underground passage of the manor led directly to the docks. The main thing is that the Polish Restoration Army demanded that Vihryu Yasusskiri should cooperate with the outside world, which is simple to say.
But a light sentence should be combined inside and out, and he has to fill it with his life.
Judging from the situation of playing and hunting together these days, this cavalry team is all sharpshooters, and they can shoot roosters in flight from a hundred meters away.
This level is definitely a unique ability in his own guard, but at least half of the troops in front of him can do it.
In fact, there is a problem with Vikhliu Yasudski's understanding here, because his guards were issued with smoothbore guns, while the soldiers of the Royal Dragoon Regiment used rifled guns.
Then there is the problem of training, the former can't put a few shots a year, because the bullets have to be purchased by themselves; And the latter is practicing every day, coupled with strict assessment standards, and if you can't beat it, you will be out of the ghost.
Vikhliu Yałudski did not think that his four hundred men would last long, and it would be foolish to leave his fate to someone else.
After the exchange of fire, let his daughter escape from the tunnel with Franz Joseph and himself, and then it will be his own people.
Vikhliu Yałudski believed that as long as Franz Joseph was in his hands, then he had the initiative, and both the Polish Restoration Army and Austria would be controlled by himself.
"Maybe I'll be able to be the head of the empire too."
Vikhlius Jałudski was still dreaming of a bright future, and the two Polish Secretaries of State were exhausted from the makeshift camp of the Polish Restoration Army.
They never imagined that the journey of just ten days would be so difficult, and both the loss of troops and the loss of morale were far beyond imagination.
