“Colonel, the intelligence shows that there will be a peasant uprising in Nis in the near future.”
In Schmidt’s office, an intelligence officer reports important information to him.
Schmidt is now based in Novi Sad, with Smederevo at the forefront, waiting for an opportunity.
Niš is about 200 kilometers south of Smederevo. There is a peasant uprising in this place, which is of course important news.
What’s more, Nish is also one of Schmidt’s strategy focuses.
After Schmidt heard the introduction, he grabbed the handle of the chair tightly with his right hand and patted the table with his left hand.
“Guards, please Arnold, Hoffman, Cardivic and all the majors, come over for a meeting, the time is set at 10:10.”
Richter was training in Smederevo, so he was not called. Now he is the deputy of the forward base. When Schmidt is not there, he handles all the urgent and daily affairs.
“Okay, Colonel.”
The messenger folded his legs and raised his chest, ready to go out to inform these people.
“Also, please invite Divacvich to attend the meeting.”
Schmidt called another guard, crossed the Danube, and went to invite the old commander Karl to attend the meeting with him.
Old Karl wouldn’t say anything at the meeting. He did this to let the old coach see his troops, and secondly, he might be able to get some advice from him afterwards.
The old war **** and Karl came to the conference room ahead of time, Karl sat in the dark place, and the old war **** sat aside.
The entire conference room is not large, it is estimated to be 50 square meters. It is a reinforced concrete building, but there are several large windows on the outside, and transparent glass is installed. When it is necessary to keep secrets, the curtains can be drawn.
There are two maps on the wall of the conference room, one is the map of the Austrian Empire, and the other is a large-scale map, mainly below Novi Sad, until the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea. There are two maps next to each other. baton.
Of course, the main configuration in the conference room is a table about 7 meters long and more than 20 simple chairs.
The five majors, and Divacwich, who was about to be promoted to captain, also came to the venue. When they saw the old military god, they raised their hands and saluted, and the old military **** also saluted one by one.
“The commander is in attendance, and Divacvic is in attendance and is in charge of recording the meeting.”
The meaning is clear, the old military **** came to listen with two ears and would not interrupt, Divacvich, can speak or discuss, but the final decision is nothing to do, because the non-voting rights are not included.
“In addition, I have to remind everyone, don’t deliberately act aggressively or act cautiously because the commander is present. You must speak according to your knowledge and experience, otherwise it may be counterproductive.”
Schmidt was afraid that everyone would be wrong, so he reminded him.
“Okay, Colonel.”
The participants answered in unison. After being reminded like this, they began to face up to their hearts to see if there was any excessive speculation, and quickly pinched them away.
Schmidt signaled to the intelligence trooper.
“Schneider, you can introduce the situation to everyone.”
“Okay, Colonel.”
Schneider turned around, saluted the conference table again, and said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, Nis, about 200 kilometers from our forward base, Fort Smederevo, on the east side of the South Morava River, along the river all the way north, it joins with the West Morava River to form the Great Morava. The Lava River, which leads directly to Smederevo.”
This intelligence officer named Schneider paused for a while and looked at a few senior officials.
“Schneider, come here and follow the map.”
Schmidt called him to the front desk and shoved the baton to him.
“Okay, Colonel. Thank you.”
Schneider stared at the map for a few seconds, then raised the baton, pointed at Nish on the map, and said:
“Nish is a very important control point. Pirot is 60 kilometers southeast, and Sofia is another 80 kilometers.”
As the baton was drawn all the way, everyone quickly figured it out. It can be seen that Pirot is a small valley, Sophia is in a larger valley, and below it is a larger valley, which can be called for the plains.
As for Niche himself, his location is also a valley, similar to Sophia, but it is not inferior to Sophia.
“From Nis to the north, where it joins the West Morava River, you can also follow the West Morava River and go all the way up to Kruševac, Kraljevo, and Chachak.”
The baton first went all the way north, at the confluence of the two rivers, and then all the way to the northwest, along the blue river, and clicked on these three important towns in turn. On the map, the distance was quite even.
“Niš is only 150 kilometers away from Kragujevac, which is now the administrative center of Serbia.”
Everyone saw that this administrative center, Kragujevac, happened to be in the geographical middle of Niš and Belgrade. However, it is inconvenient to go to his place from both places, and it is necessary to climb mountains and mountains.
Then Schneider paused to let everyone digest the location of Nis and the distance from the relevant important towns.
“The leader who planned the uprising was named Jovanovitch, a rich peasant. He had six brothers, two of whom died at the hands of the Turkish Pasha. Now the four brothers are thinking of revenge. As the eldest brother, he Begin to connect with the surrounding area and prepare for an attack on Niš Castle in Turkey.”
Schneider stopped when he saw that a bearded officer seemed to have something to ask.
“How to attack Nis Castle? This is too risky. Is the castle so easy to attack?”
This is a bearded major who also served Mary, but was called Grandpa by Mary. He looked at Schneider and asked.
“I haven’t detected this specifically. My guess is that they have an insider in the castle. Jovanovitch is a rich peasant. He and his two older brothers are a group of soldiers. They should have some connections in Niš Castle.”
“Schneider’s speculation is also justified. After all, he was born in a rich peasant and has a little financial well-off. He can make friends and manage barriers. In addition to the legacy of his two older brothers’ connections, he should have a certain degree of confidence. You continue.”
The minor noble major Arnold said that after he heard it, he supported Schneider.
Schneider bowed to Major “Grandpa” and nodded again to Arnold.
“Their current strategy is actually very brilliant. First, three brothers were arranged to lead the three villages to hold an uprising, and then Jovanovitch waited for an opportunity outside the Niš Castle. Once the castle sent soldiers to suppress the uprising in the three villages. , he can attack the castle. If the attack is successful, they can get more weapons, so that they can deal with the Turkish Pasha.”
Kamenica, Matijevac, and Mati Savac, the baton was clicked in these three places, and then pointed to a position, it should be the team led by Jovanovic, who was ambush in the ambush. this.
Schneider looked at the officers, then looked at the old man who was sitting on the side without saying a word, and continued:
“Speaking of this, I am more convinced of my speculation that Nis Castle has an inner officer, and this inner officer will not be sent out to suppress the uprising in the three villages. Then, this inner officer is not a combatant. It is estimated that it is the castle guard, or the castle inner soldier. Warehouse guards and the like.”
After speaking, he put down the baton and walked down.
“Schneider, you are waiting at the door. We will consult you when we need it.”
“Okay, Colonel.”
After Schneider walked out of the door of the conference room, Schmidt glanced at a few majors and Divacwich, and asked:
“Everyone, what do you think of this information? Let’s evaluate it. How does this information help our overall strategy?”
Seeing that everyone did not speak, Divacvic said:
“Colonel, sirs, I’ll speak first, and I’ll give you some advice.”
Schmidt gave him a nod, and Divacovic started Nisch’s argument:
“This is a good opportunity. It can be seen from the information that this Jovanovitch is not an ordinary person. He is a rich peasant and must have a certain cultural background. He has joined the army with his brothers and has a military foundation. The most important thing is He is not a brave man, his strategy, in my opinion, without going into details, is definitely the best choice. For revenge, he coerced the youthful uprisings of three villages.”
After taking a sip of water, Divacovic continued:
“And I can speculate that once this Jovanovitch captured Niš Castle and obtained a large number of weapons, he would never say anything about revenge for his brother, and it must be a bigger goal. Preliminary estimates are that he claimed to be Singer 30 years ago. Leach’s descendants, or avenge Hingjelic or something.”
Everyone knows what he means. In 1809, Zingelich revolted in Nis. In the end, with more than 3,000 main forces, he encompassed more than 16,000 young and strong men. He encountered the official army in Nis.
The 40,000 official troops and the 20,000 rebel troops who came to suppress them were all tough and tough, and the two sides would not retreat in the Niish battle.
As many as 30,000 soldiers were killed and countless wounded between the rebel army and the official army.
The blood is said to flow onto the Nishva River, then along the Nishwar River to the South Morava River, and along the South Morava River to join the West Morava River, to the Great Morava River, and then all the way to the Danube .
Some folk stories of later generations say that in the Great Morava River, the color of the river is the same as blood, and when it reaches the Danube, it is still blood red at a glance.
This Jovanovitch will definitely use the prestige of his predecessors. Even Liu Bei said he was the empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, even Li Yuan was the empress of the Tao Te Ching, and even Zhu Yuanzhang said he was the empress of Marshal Tianpeng.
It is normal for Jovanovic to rely on Zingelic. The insurgent army led by Zingelich fought too hard against the Turkish army, and the effect of inciting local hatred was better than his claim of avenging his brother.
“And we look at Jovanovitch’s plan to use the young men of the three villages as bait~www.mtlnovel.com~ and use the three younger brothers as bait to attract the defenders of Niš Castle. This man is also a hero. Heroes do things, eclectic, daring to sacrifice, daring to fight.”
Karl thought on the side that this Jovanovitch seemed to be suppressed in the end, but this uprising, true or false, continued intermittently until 1843, when it was completely extinguished.
As for Divacwich’s eclectic approach, Karl agrees very much.
Dare to sacrifice, all heroes dare to sacrifice others, here he dared to sacrifice the young and strong of the three villages, and even he dared to sacrifice three brothers.
Dare to fight, needless to say, Xiongxiong is not a peaceful generation, of course dare to fight, even for Xiongxiong, they are born to fight.
It seems that we can invest a bit to make him more happy, and we can also put some pressure on Turkey and reduce the pressure on Savinod and Smederevo Fort.
“Once Nis Castle is attacked by him, he will soon be able to arm thousands of people, a group of tigers and wolves composed of thousands of young men. In this way, it is impossible to suppress it by the army in Nis alone.”
Karl thinks that this Jovanovic is powerful, and this Divacvic is also powerful, and the analysis he did 300 kilometers away is also reasonable.
Talent, talent, we must win over.
There is also the intelligence officer Schneider who just reported. It seems that he is not German, but his name is indeed a German name. I will ask what happened later.
Once Nis Castle is attacked successfully, the weapons of the official army will be cut off, and the suppression of the uprisings in the three villages and towns will also be powerless.
In the uprising of the three villages and towns, it is very possible that after obtaining Niš Castle and being succeeded by Jovanovitch, they will also ignite their courage and continue to fight with the official army, and even turn to chase the official army to fight.
