Chapter 748 Bagration Surrenders(2/2)
"Immediately order the army to prepare for battle, and have the generals come to my room for a meeting immediately!"
Bagration hurriedly began to convene the generals in the army for discussion. At this moment, Bagration only heard the report from his attendants. The envoy who had just left not long ago came back.
"Your Excellency General, please forgive me for not being able to salute. This is the order of my marshal. We can agree to your conditions, but I hope you can surrender immediately and get out of the way. Marshal Brankov agrees to move your hometown Kizlyar and nearby areas
The five cities as your territory!”
After speaking, the envoy handed over a document written by Brankov himself.
Based on the document, Brankov, as the governor of Moscow, rewarded Kizlyar and five surrounding cities to Bagration. At the same time, Brankov allowed Bagration to take 10,000 people from Tongchuan.
If anyone resists or blocks Bagration's march, this letter will be Brankov's token.
Governor of Moscow is an official title that Brankov added to himself after capturing Moscow. After all, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. Although Brankov is a rebel, he also wants to justify his rule over Moscow in name.
of.
Of course, in exchange, Bagration must immediately lead his troops to retreat from Tongchuan and surrender. This is the bottom line for Brankov to not give in. Brankov also clearly told Bagration that if he insisted,
If you don't surrender, the rebels will attack the city immediately!
Brankov clearly demonstrated his determination in this letter.
After reading this letter, Bagration gritted his teeth.
Previously, the reason why the rebels were suspended for three days was because Bagration wanted to do his last bit for St. Petersburg. After all, when faced with the choice between country and family, most people would choose home. This is why Bagration
Gradion is no exception.
If the current tsar was Paul I, perhaps Bagration would really stick to the end. Even if Brankov used his family as a threat, he would not give in. After all, it was Paul I who wanted to see him differently.
Let Bagration achieve his current achievements.
But as Brankov said, Alexander led people to kill Paul I. Bagration knew this very well, which also made Bagration not very loyal to Alexander.
After all, a person who can even attack his own father, who else can he not attack?
"General, all the officers have arrived in the conference room!"
Just when Bagration was hesitant, an attendant's words brought Bagration back to his senses.
"Okay, I accept Marshal Brankov's request! But you go back immediately and tell the Marshal that I need an hour to deal with Tongchuan's affairs. After one hour, Tongchuan's door will be open for him!"
After saying this, Bagration hurriedly left the room.
May 30, 1794, half past five in the afternoon
The gate of Tongchuan was opened from the inside, and the rebels who had been prepared outside Tongchuan City immediately filed into Tongchuan City.
Bagration and a group of generals stood at the gate of Tongchuan City to welcome Brankov's army as they entered the city. However, there were obviously fewer generals following Bagration.
These missing generals were all Alexander's trusted generals stationed in the army. After concluding his discussions with the rebel envoys, Bagration, who came to the conference room, immediately launched a purge of generals who were loyal to St. Petersburg.
"Bagration, you have done a good job. Now I allow you to lead the army to leave Tongchuan. At the same time, I also believe that there will be more opportunities for cooperation between us in the future!"
Seeing Bagration standing at the city gate to greet him, Brankov showed a smile to Bagration and said with a smile.
Subsequently, Brankov did not exchange greetings with Bagration or recuperate in Tongchuan. Instead, he immediately led the army to St. Petersburg after leaving five thousand rebels to supervise the original Tongchuan defenders.
Before Brankov led his army to leave Tongchuan, Bagration also led his trusted generals and a selected 10,000 troops to begin marching towards the Caucasus.
