The scandal of Lippe-Detmold Despite the victories, it took time because the army was ready to march again. Only in September and Churrisque Berthier could march in Lippe-Detmold. The new recruits were united army Durrheim, while Ferdinand led the 23,000 soldiers. A division was sent Churrisque Portuguese by Nasr. Although now controlled only 20,000 men, Churrisque defeated Ferdinand at Sehnrath, opening the way to Cologne, easily taken. Likewise, Sept. 21 win against Berthier von Durrheim. In the battle the German general was killed. Berthier imposed to Prince Ferdinand to sign the agreement that makes the principle co-belligerent French and forced him to provide soldiers. The night before the signing, the prince tried to escape from Cologne to Münster, a city still under his nominal control. However, it was captured, the two generals realized that the main opposition force to the prince was that of the Republicans, whose presence in key posts had made sure all the conquered. Gave way to the demands of Republicans and gave them the prince because he was judged. He was found guilty of high treason, tyranny and crimes against the people. He was executed with great joy, also of the populace, with a recent French instrument: the guillotine. His son Leopold, Münster, became the new prince, even if minor. The execution of a nobleman by the people caused a sensation throughout Europe and was the result of exasperate the minds of both Republicans and monarchists. Saxony East of Cologne possessions started direct Emperor Otto VIII. For safety, he moved to Dortmund in Oldenburg. Nasr and Soult's army now, moving from Nassau, marched on Saxony. Soult defeated the army of the Elector Bebra, forcing him to fall back on Erfurt. New armies were enrolled in Hanover and Prussia. Siege of Erfurt, which is dedicated to the French, ran from October 2 to December 5, when the garrison, with the same elector, he surrendered. Meanwhile, Nasr met with the army and the Swedish Brahe Pedersen. In the first clash against Pedersen, November 1, Osama bin men proved incapable of fighting in the snow already falling in that month. Again, even against the Swedes Granada suffered a slight loss. The solution was to reject the encounter, if not attacked first, as long as it was winter. So after Paderborn and Bockenem to Lauenberg Nasr got the retreat of the enemy after two days of attacks on its positions. Another problem that arose was the food: the troops had already advised against Islamic practice sawm during military campaigns. Now, in northern Europe pork and alcohol were the food more easily available and useful to an army on the march. The preponderance of Muslim soldiers did not allow either to divide the food among themselves and other denominations in a balanced manner. Starting with the soldiers less pious and more hungry, slowly also bans food were abandoned in favor of more abundant food in the war. Even Erfurt, he was finally taken, and the Elector Frederick Augustus III signed the act that made the Saxony area occupied and neutral in the war. Soult garnets and two divisions in January and they fought against Brahe Pedersen Nordhausen. The battle proved inconclusive. The capitulation Netherlands Grouchy, after Amsterdam, seemed unstoppable. Soundly defeated Dundas Kampen August 12, and Willem and Dundas in Meppel. After this defeat, Lord Greenville himself asked that the British soldiers were called home. The king signed the armistice on August 18 in Groningen and abdicated again, going to England. Daendels was recalled to form a new government of the Second Republic. Grouchy would invade Hanover, but he needed more men, having lost many during the two years of campaigning, but these were needed in France, because they feared a British landing. The conquest of Hanover When, in October, 15,000 German soldiers came to join the army of Berthier, returned the offensive. The army of the Lippe and Hannover, counting 32,000 men, was beaten to Melle. Prince Ernst tried to re Stadthagen battle, but was abandoned by his generals, who no longer wanted to fight the invaders. Churrisque this time took the initiative and offered to keep the prince on the throne despite strong opposition in exchange for the establishment and support of logistics to the occupying armies, more the possible recognition of independence after the peace. Ernst agreed. In the meantime, having fled the Prince Leopold, in Münster was proclaimed the Republic of Westphalia, France and co-belligerent of Granada. The emperor sought an armistice, but was required to abolish the empire. He refused and took refuge in Denmark. campaign Prussia In November, the Ottomans and the Hungarians came in Silesia. The absence cohesion among the allies and the lack of Adolfo and Ibrahim allowed the Margrave Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia to hit hard bey's army and then withdraw from the region. Slowly the army marched into Silesia, often looting, and then in Prussia and in southern Brandenburg, losing dozens of men a week to the guerrillas that the Prussian army practiced. Despite all the goodwill, the army had to stop with the rigors of January. | | | |
