In 1740, he was approved by the county title complained by him by Emperor Carl VI. In Swedish war 1741-43. He was the commander-in-chief of the Russian army.

Count Peter Petrovich Lassi was born in Irish on October 30, 1678 from the noble parents of the ancient family. At first, he was in French services, he participated under the banners of Slavnago Field Marshal Katinaat in the Savoyskaya wars, then he fought against the Turk of Armenia Emperor and, finally, offered his services to Peter Great, in 1700.

VZD for Tѣ M, Lassi continued his service his in Armenia Count Sheremetyeva: was in Poland, Pomerani and Mecklenburgi; Departing, in 1719, on the gallery to Swedish shores, I made a terrible devastant in Tѣ Hъ Mѣ Stah, forced, Ied to APRY-APRIMIR General, Queen Ulrik Eleonor to agree to the proposed Sovita about peace of Peter the Great; He was granted for his military exploits General Lieutenant (1720).

Soon, a new war was opened by Persiayu: Lassi, for the reasons for heated health, im.e then predored in a small village, which belonged to him. It was continued until I was going to join the throne of Empress Catherine I: she complained to Lassia Kavaler of the Order of St. Alexander Nevskago, in the very day of this sign is exceeding, on May 21, 1725; General-Anzheuff, a member of the military colleague (in August) and soon, by the Commander-in -coming Armenia, located in St. Petersburg, in Ingriy, Novogorodskaya Gubernіyi, Estlands and Karelii; Riga General Governor (1726).

When Yunoy Peter II-th Halp Doloval Yekaterinѣ, Prince Menshikov, managed by Kormalom State, resumed the effort to be obtained by the Duchy of Kurlyndiscago and, not successful in his preprivіyi through negotiations, it was necessary to achieve Humidia. It is curious that Duke Ferdinand was still in alive, did not think about death, and about the grazing, he died around ten Lѣ TJ, and I was already there already noise, Prince Moritz Saxonskago, was selected (1726) on the Sejm Courneda and Semigal State Fans! - Lassi joined Kurlyni in three plot shelves and two equestrian (1727). He was entrusted to send from the Duchy of the shelter to Herch Moritz: Colonel Funk received ordered from Rossіiskago General to arrest Prince on Osmagen's Island; But he is successless to hide on the fishing boat off our detachment. The function captured his retinue, consisted of one hundred six people, property and paper.

The note of Morita was brought to Petersburg on September 9, in the very day when Menshikov, deprived of the ranks and signs exceeded, was expelled from the capital; But Lassi is the success of Ly, one but, destroy the election of Moritz (26 numbers).

Delighted the commander of Peter Velikago was only the performer disposal of others of the leaders, not imagine the case to put on all the brilliance of the Tennago, the skill in the military craft. Empress Anna Ioannovna V. Rila (1733) Her head of the twentieth of Armenia, he moved to Kejkamov Vistula against the adherents of Stanislav Leschinskago. January 4th arrived Lassi Kenet; This city was conquered by the newly elected king Augustus III and let the Russian Garnizon. Lassi held in Odzian Danzig, when SMN Nile his count minih. Staying under the command of Field Marshal, he spacked a ten-thousand Country Country Tarlo and Castelana Tercago, Pospassion of Shavsiy to help Stanislav K Danziga, Society Introduced the delivery of this city, destroyed the troops of Moskinskago, Perevkov, awarded from Lago Orl (1734 ).

In 1735, Lassi spoke to the Riine with 12,000 people for United Prince of Prince Savodskago: Passed Bohemia and Verkhniy Palatinat, exciting the leader's leader and the discipline of the head of the regiments, he deserved the praise of Slavnago. Our auxiliary army returned back to the shore of the Rhine, for the causes of the world, then the world between Franzi and Austria: the emperor Karl Vi complained Lassi his portrait his shrouded in brilliants and five thousand wormlock; The sovereign presented to Him from Feldmarshlskiy Zham, February 17, 1736, instructed to go to Azov.

Between the raisins and the Ukrainian linimes in the steppe Tatars attacked Kozak, accompanied by Lassia, they were solely to take them in Plus Nity; Feldmarshal himself barely succeeded to lock; His crews were stopped and robbed. On May 20, Azov surrendered to him to Kapitulay. The Empress has awarded the Runa and the Rady of the Lassian Order of St. Apostle Andrei Prolozvnago on March 5, 1737.

He monitored his name his glorious campaign to Crimea. Han with all-round troita is located behind the Perekopian Lingi, it is greatly ukrѣ of the captive, but Lassi led a forty-fighter array new expensive. I agreed to the military officer of the Operations, the counter-admiral of the Bedalham, who had to assist him to Floilіyia on the Black Sea, Felmarshal moved away from the rod ki Berdy with the whole of the forces of the Caucasian Water, holding a closer to the coast of the Sea Azovskago. 14th Iyunya (1737), Armia is located along the sleeves of this sea, which continues to relentment, I am ѣ I am Floilіju Bredal on the resignation of the gunnago dusting of himself. Lassi immediately ordered the bridge; All Aria, by moving around Him 18th, continued to hike along the Sea's Azovskago on Kosѣ, leading to Arabati; It was joined by four thousand Kalmykov, under the leadership of Goldan-Narm, the son of Dunduck-ombo. Surprised Han Pospassion Schil Ku Arabatu to stop Rossiyan in this Single passage; But Lassi, having learned about him, ordered to the depth of the Sleeve of the Maskago, ordered the depth of the Sleeve of the Crimea, and Netzno-Koshka is a convenient mѣ service station for crossing, Velѣ Lit SDѣ pets from empty barrels, logs and slings, in Armenia found. Thus, Pѣ Khota crossed the sleeve on the roof, and the cavalier climb.

Not one Khan believed Dernovnaya Nar Reniy Lassia to go on Kosѣ K Arabatu. Sun, the generals, chrome of Spiegel, came to him in a tent session presented that he was subjected to the death of Aria. Lassi answered that the military preproyati usually be conjugate in danger, and that although he doesn't see him here; However, asks them to their owl, in what way to do this in this case? The generals of the owl of themselves go backwards. "If you want to objeil Feldmarshal - I will order you to provide you with the seed for detachment" - and Velѣ Lit to the secretary to make it, appointing two of the Dragunov for accompanied by the general generals in the Ukrainian, so that they were waiting for his returned. We could hardly die on three days to soften Lassia and ashamed allowed to stay with it.

Han Finding that Russian Armia entered the Arabatsky Passage, Kotoro I was waiting for her, but by half the bay, and that she was right to ky him, went to Mountain, being disturbed by Kozaki and Kalmyks. Then Feldmarshal turned to the right to the Mountains to Nastrich Khan. In the twenty-six versts of Karasubazar, the Lord of the Crimeans in the best of his troops attacked Russian Armia; But I was progress. Salted Lassi went to Karasubazar; Uni-talesci's troops, the older to obstruct the procession of the Russians, were Jana. On the hill, the blizzards of the city, the village of Dinch Ukrѣ was opened, in which it was up to fifteen thousand Turks. Loader, Feldmarshal, ordered the Lieutenant General of Douglas, who bunted out avant-garde, attack the unquestion and mastering the city. Douglas executed this instructed by the perfect success of Homa: the defendant, continuously, not a greater hour, the Turks appealed to Bѣ Gîms; The city was looted and burned. Feldmarshal is located a camp in two versets from him. Kozakama and Kalmykov were ordered to penetrate how it was possible to give the mountains and burn the dwellings of Tatars: about a thousand selenium addressed in ash; Bolѣ e thirty thousand bulls and up to one hundred thousand Barana lasted the mining of recreation. 15 Іyulya, Lassi collected military advice, in which Rѣ shenya go back to the Crimea; For the plan of the Opechasi, consisting of a paradise of Tatars for Nabii to Rossiya, was Viven, and the Far RED Yellow did not have to do.

In the fall of the year (1738), Field Marshal Lassi covered himself with the new fame: he entered the Crimea with a thirty-five thousand people, without having lost a single human. Han stood at the Perekop Lingi of the Corps for the protection of Oyoy. In Lѣ TNI, the days of the Sea's Azovskago dries out, and the Western Troin is so driven out of the ongoing water that the peninsula can be achieved along the bottom. Feldmarshal took advantage of this Trom and to the tide of the success of Lit to move the sea. Pereakov surrendered to 26 Іyuyuna the two thousandth Garrison of Yanychar. Inserts found to a hundred guns. Lassi went gave the crime, which was almost empty. Blowing up in Ukr's captivity of Pokopscon Linіi, he returned to Ok Baber Mѣ Syatsѣ Vel.

In 1739, Lassi was erected in the County dignity of Rossiya Imperii (in November); In 1740, on the occasion of the festival of the world's festival of the world, Ottoman's portion, for courageous feats awarded a sword, brilliant and pensіon in three thousand rubles; Granted Liflyandsky General Governor. Soon, the War of the Schwetsey (1741) has been fed. Government Anna Leopoldovna V. Rila Lassia is the main boss on Armia.

Peter Petrovich

Battles and victories

Irishman family, nee Pier Edmond de Lacey - one of the most successful commander of Russia of the XVIII century, Russian General Field Marshal (1736), Graf (1740).

He gave the Russian army 50 years old and, dying, could say that his whole life was "on the demand of military" his second homeland.

It took place from the ancient Normanian kind of Lassi, an Ireland justed in Ireland, fought for the French, Austrians, the British, in 1700 was adopted in Russian service. Under the head of the Duke of De Croa Lassi participated in the battle of Narva. In 1703, Lassi was appointed commander of the so-called "noble company", which participated in hostilities in Liflandia. In 1705, Major was translated into the regiment of Count Sheremetyev and participated in the Grodno operation. In 1706, the registered decree of Peter I was appointed by a lieutenant colonel to the newly-inflated regiment of Kulikova (then the 1st Infantry Nevsky).

Starting from 1708, he is already a colonel, the commander of the Siberian regiment. In battle, Pirogov received a difficult injury, but the system did not leave. Repeatedly injured in Poltava battle, but despite this, he led the regiment in the army of B.P. Sheremeteva in Riga. He first joined the city and became the first Russian commandant here.

And in the future, the biography of Lassi is tightly saturated with combat business.

In general, during life, according to his own words, he

it was everywhere on military thoughts, it was: in 31 campaigns, on general battles, 15 shares and 18 sieges and when taking fortresses where not little and wounded.

Lassi served honestly, regularly and brave. Then, as a member of the pruth campaign, he was produced in brigadiers, and in 1712 for the successful preparation of food reserves for troops in Poznan - in Majora General. In 1713, under the direct command of Peter I, he participated in the battle near Friedristeadt, and then in the siege and the capture of Shattin.

Later, Peter I used the brought part of the Lassi as a prototype of a marine assault. In 1716, the Astrakhan regiment and two regiments of the Guard under the command of Peter Petrovich Lassi made the transition to Wismar on Galera, where they landed and participated in the siege of the fortress. A similar transformation of troops was made under Copenhagen.

In July 1719, the Sea Expedition of the Gallery Fleet led by Admiral F.M. was taken to the coast of Sweden Apraksin. Two landing squads, one of whom was commanded apraxin, and the other Lassi, defeated the military forces of the Swedes collected against them, destroyed the ferrous plants, weapons workshops, mills, forest products. Such raids were practiced in 1720, even under the walls of Stockholm itself. The emptying, produced by the Russians on the Eastern Coast of Sweden, forced the Queen Ulric-Eleonor to renew the negotiations about the world. For merits, manifested courage and fearless Lassi was encouraged by the production of Lieutenant General.

From 1723 to 1725, he consisted of a member of the Military Collegium. After the death of Peter I in 1727, Lassi performed a military and together diplomatic affair: he was sent with the corps of troops to the borders of Kurland, in order to prevent Morita Saxon to establish himself in the duchy, and at the same time not to give the Poles too to show their influence . Lassi acted vigorously and quite deftly and fulfilled the assignment assigned to it. Since 1730, he is the Governor's Riga Governor.

With Anna Ioannovna Lassi received full independence in the actions on the battlefield and, as a result, showed his tongue to fully. It was she who later in 1736 produced a commander to General Field Marshal, thus noting, thus, his merits in the war for Polish legacy (1733-1735). He showed himself as a subtle diplomat who was particularly skillfully prepared such military enterprises that were associated with the difficulties of movement and food supply of the army in wild, unclosed places.

In the summer of 1733, he was prescribed to join the head of the 16th thousandthly detachment within Poland to support August III against Stanislav Leschinsky. July he spent on the final device of the food part, collecting horses, ammunition, etc. Lassi was to get out of great difficulties: go through the country, without arming the civilian population against Russia. In addition, the Russian government increased this difficulty, prescribing Lassi for everyone to pay Russian money; When the Poles refused to take them, commanded everything to take by force, paying Russian coins.

When the Army approaches the Lassi, Polish Pany left their estates and fled to Warsaw. The peasantry remained, and the commander-in-chief was able to restrain the order in the troops that the population did not suffer from him. Soon after the start of the campaign, Polish Veelmes, Supporters of Russia, support for support and patronage began to arrive. It was by the way, since the army was in a difficult position. Her movement was slow and hard. The army associated the dissolve, and the spilled rivers and forests were barely passable. Lassi overcame them and, conducting intercourse with the pro-Russian tuned magnates, right, although slowly, sparing soldiers, moved to Grodno. He reported on all his actions by the Cabinet of Ministers. However, due to bad roads, the bad weather of the report was often delayed. The Cabinet of Ministers found the output from the position to forward Lassi's report through the ambassador in Poland K.G. Levenwolde, prescribing to report to him "by Chasta."

September 14, Lassi approached Warsaw. On September 22, the Seimas, who chose the King of Poland Friedrich-August, the King of the Poland of the Frederick-August, the King of Poland, Saxon, was collected. 93 Cannon Shots from Russian guns announced this election Warsaw. On September 24, Lassi has reported to the Cabinet about the capture of the Warsaw suburbs of Prague and the election of the king. Not all Poland, however, recognized him, and above all Warsaw, who was in the hands of supporters of Leschinsky. Renting the troops at dry, Lassi made the enemy to retreat to Krakow and on October 5 she took his detachments to the capital and its surroundings.

An experienced, non-resistant commander, - so characterized Lassi historian D.N. Bantysh-Kamensky, "was distinguished by his speed on a rolling field, with an enlightened mind joined a good heart, elevated feelings ...

The enemy was crushed, but Lassi had trouble and worries did not fall. All his orders and enterprises were detained and spoiled by Levvenavold's intervention. Especially suffered from this lower ranks. The army was weaker and frustrated. In addition, the Cabinet sent a decree of October 30 to hurry with the end of the Polish campaign, more often about everything to convey and act, according to rescripts sent by Levvenavold.

Leschinsky with a 20-thousandth army sat down in Danzig, so the fighting in the winter - in the spring of next year they moved to this fortress. Lassi, who passed the main command of B.-H. Minu, successfully provided the rear of the army, which after four months the siege forced Danzig capitulate. During the assault of Danzig, the landscape of the Lassi on the soldier was discovered. In the storm column, all officers were interrupted, and she stopped under the murderous fire of the enemy. Minich ordered to retreat, but no one obeyed him. Only the personal appearance of Lassi and his persuasion focused, and the soldiers retreated in order.

In 1735, Lassi at the head of the troops was sent to Rhine to the rescue of the Austrian army of the Prince Evgenia Savoy, who fought with the French. In view of the conclusion of the world, the Russians returned to winter apartments to Moravia. On the way from Vienna in February 1736, Petr Petrovich received a Feldmarshsky wand through the courier, and with him the prescription of the Empress immediately move to Azov: the warlord took place at the Russian-Turkish war theater 1735-1739. Anna Ioannovna sought to destroy the crop treaty degrading for Russia.

Lassi mastered the Azov on July 20, 1736, while the commander was injured. The reward was the Order of St. Andrei First Called. But his main participation in the war had to take the next two years. Twice in 1737 and 1738. The troops entrusted to him successfully fought in the Crimea. And in both cases, the commander showed a tendency to non-standard tactics. Khan expected him at a silence, but Lassi undertook a bypass maneuver in the Arabat arrow. The deep yield of the Russians in the rear brought horror on the Tatar, their army dissipated, and Lassi was able to take the entire peninsula. But the lack of food and the threat to be locked in the Crimea forced him to move back to the Northern Tavria.

In 1738, Lassi also enjoyed bypass maneuvers, by typing troops in the Crimea through Sivash and forcing the capitulation of the garrison of the Perekop Fortress. But for the same reasons - the supply and threat from the rear - the Russians could not hold the peninsula. Seeing the suffering of troops in the Crimean campaigns, Peter Petrovich asked permissions more than them, while the army as a whole, including its rear structures, will not be ready for action on this theater.

In the Turkish theater of hostilities, the main figures at the head of the army were Lassi and mini. The style of the behavior of the commander is straightely different: minih always tried to be in sight, received the first roles, and Lassi remained in the shade. Nevertheless, the comparison of the commander skills has always come out in favor of Lassi. Peter Petrovich's merit was impossible to silenced and in 1740 he received a county title, and at the end of hostilities returned to the post of the Liflyand Governor.

However, in July 1741, Sweden, refusing to recognize the imperial title of Baby Ivan Antonovich (Ivan VI), declared the war of Russia. Russian commander-in-chief became Field Marshal Lassi. There were no two weeks after the announcement of the war, as he headed the corps of General Wrangel under Wilmanstrand. On August 26, 1742, Field Marshal cut off the retreat of the opponent's army under Gelsingfors, forcing it to capitulate.

The Swedish war is largely owned by Lassi - its energy, managerial and caringness of the troops. Warning war, he showed himself a faithful and smart student of Peter the Great. Discipline in the troops and the ability to get along with the population he acquired in Finland many goodwires and supporters of Russia.

Opinion of Military Historian A.A. Kershnovsky about Lassi:

This is a noble soldier's figure, an old honest and brave warrior, who always standing away from the court intrigue, who lived in the interests of the army and the needs of his subordinates.

The war with Sweden ended the combat activities of Lassi, but he continued to be a prominent military leader, and they were treated for advice with the complication of external affairs. On July 27, he was appointed commander of the troops in Liflaland.

At the end of the war, the Empress sent his own yacht for Lassi, so that the Honored Communist Party could solemnly arrive from Finland to St. Petersburg, he complained to the sword and tobacquacke with diamonds, raised the size of the annual monetary content. Elizabeth Petrovna was convinced of the absolute loyalty of Lassi. But immediately after the palace coup, as a result of which she climbed into the throne, there were certain doubts whether "Inogen" will be supported by her.

It is said that when Field Marshal woke among the nights and demanded to answer, on whose side it is worth which party belongs to, Peter Petrovich demonstrated an outstanding mind and exposure.

In 1706, by the registered decree of Peter I, he was appointed by a lieutenant colonel to the Novomabrated regiment of Kulikov (then the 1st Infantry Nevsky), which Lassi will become "eternal chief."

In 1713, under the immediate superiors of Peter I, was in battle under Friedrichstadt. Also took an active part in the siege of Shattin (Szczecin).

In July 1719, Lassi took part in the expedition to the shores of Sweden. Looking around with a detachment not far from Stockholm, Lassi is terribly devastated the surroundings. The prey, exported by the Russians from this expedition, was estimated at a million taler, and emptying - at 12 million. The attack of Russians to the indigenous Sweden broke the last resistance; Since that time, peaceful negotiations were already continuously, the Swedes did almost all the concessions required from them. Lassi was in 1720 produced in Lieutenar General.

From 1723 to 1725, he consisted of a member of the Military Collegium.

In 1727, Lassi was sent with the Corps of the troops to the borders of Kurland, in order to prevent Morita Saxon who attracted to the vacant throne, to establish himself in Duchy, and at the same time - so as not to give the Poles too to show their influence there. Lassi acted vigorously and quite deftly and fulfilled the assignment assigned to it. After that, Lassi was left in Liflandia by the governor.

War for Polish Legacy

To the full, the colonical talent of Lassi manifested itself with the beginning of the war for the Polish legacy. In 1733, he was sent by the head of the detachment of 16,000 people sent to the Commonwealth to support August III against Stanislav Leschinsky.

The displacement of Leschinsky from Poland illuminated the Lassi as a subtle diplomat, who was particularly skillfully prepared such military enterprises that were associated with the difficulties of the movement and food of the army in wild, unclosed places.

The campaign 1733-1734 was precisely such. The leadership of the province of Lassi transferred their business affairs and, leaving a family for permanent residence in the Riga Governor's House, left for the troops. He was prescribed on August 6 to enter into Poland. July month he spent on the final device of the food part, collecting horses, ammunition, etc. Lassi was to get out of great difficulties: to go through the country, without arming the civilian population against Russia, not a labeled and not robbery. In addition, the Russian government increased this difficulty, prescribing Lassi for everyone to pay Russian money; When the Poles refused to take them, commanded everything to take by force, paying Russian coins.

In early August, Lassi switched the border, on August 19, Coveno took on August 27 Grodno. Upon approaching the Army, Lassi Pana left its estates and fled to Warsaw. The peasantry remained, and the commander-in-chief was able to restrain the order in the troops that the population did not suffer from him. Soon after the start of the campaign, Polish Veelmes, Supporters of Russia, support for support and patronage began to arrive. It was by the way, since the army was in a difficult position. Her movement was slow and hard. The army associated the dissolve, and the spilled rivers and forests were barely passable. Lassi overcame them and, conducting intercourse with the pro-Russian tuned magnates, right, although slowly, sparing soldiers, moved to Grodno.

Lassi approached Warsaw on September 14, on September 20, he took a suburb of Warsaw Prague, and on September 22, in a tract, the Seimow was collected under the protection of Russian bayonets, which chose the King of Poland Friedrich-August, the Saxon Kurfürst. 93 Cannon shots from the Russian guns announced this election Warsaw, which was in the hands of supporters of Leshchinsky. Crossing the troops at dry, Lassi made the enemy to retreat to Krakow and on October 5 he took his detachments to the capital and its surroundings. However, the discipline in the army was frustrated due to the fact that all the orders and Lassi enterprises were delayed and spoiled by Lösenwold's intervention, the Russian ambassador in Warsaw. In addition, the government sent an order from October 30 to hurry with the end of the Polish campaign, more often to convey and act and act, according to rescripts sent by Lövenvold.

Siege Danziga

By the end of 1733, new confederations were formed in the north of Poland, and on November 5, with a 12-thousand army against confederates and the leschinsky was sent by Lassi. On November 22, he stood at the village of Lovichi, waiting for money and ammunition. On January 30, 1734, he was 6 miles from Danzig, and on February 21, he brought into St. Petersburg on the blocade of the city and the location of the troops

According to Lassi, Danzig, equipped with good artillery, a 30 thousandth army, protected by French engineers and a garrison, could not be stormed with such insignificant artillery and the army as the one that was at his disposal. Slowness and caution did not like him in St. Petersburg, where they also wanted to rush miniha; The latter instructed to accelerate the take of Danzig. On the Military Council, Lassi was against an immediate attack, but he tried the opinion of minich per assault. Even before him, however, the Lassi managed one important enterprise: he broke the dance of Danzigu Voivod Yana Tarlo, a supporter of Leshchinsky, and prevented the French frigate to enter the mouth of the Vistula.

During the assault of Danzig, the landscape of the Lassi on the soldier was discovered. In the storm column, all officers were interrupted, and she stopped under the murderer of the enemy. Minich ordered to retreat, but no one obeyed him. Only the personal appearance of Lassi and his persuasion was involved, and the soldiers retreated in order, of course, with a huge damage. From the Contribution, taken from Danzig, the share of Lassi got quite a lot. From money for the "bell ringing", he received 5,000 rubles, 2083 Chervonz, 2 Talera and 20 pennies.

On Rhine

Polish affairs were not yet brought to the end when a new order fell into a share of Lassi. In 1734, the French attacked Emperor I Reich Charles VI, and he, according to the Treaty, requested allied assistance from Russia: how to express themselves in the package of a 13 thousandth army, under the authorities of Lassi. Again, he had to lead troops through unclosed or poor areas, the guarding of soldiers from the exhaustion, and the population from looting and violence.

About Galla! You knew you hussar blades
And in the fear of imagine: they are devils to the Germans!
Semorite W - Schote Moscow to us loyal shelves.
Hardwork any of you will avoid terrible death!

Especially heavy was march through Bavaria. The ruling Kurfurst Karl Albrecht did not participate in the war, but was held by trade-house views. Bavarian representatives stated in Vienna that Kurfürst would not allow the passage of the Russian corps even by applying the force and exit from neutrality. For pressure on the Kurfürst, the imperial authorities even had to make a military demonstration by removing the troops from Rhine and Inna. In the end, Kurfürst gave way. Due to the lack of provincial, the march through the Ober-Palatinate and Zultzbach was done without a twist for 4 days. In Pomol-Shprung, the Bavarian authorities provided the body with fodder and fallen.

General Lassi brought into St. Petersburg, that when passing through Bavaria "Removal and insoluction from anyone and from the team of my echoing inhabitants of the Ombrellas was not shown to anyone, but the Maor Maor Baron Mirovitsky, who came to me, having arrived at me, the name of him, Karfirski, , for the good effect of Majesty's imperratorskago, when passing the land, his condition and actions thanked. " . August 15-16 (26-27) August Corps arrived in Ladenburg and stood up from Ladenburg to Heidelberg. 18 (29) August Prince Evgeny Savoysky accepted the parade of the Russian Corps and was pleased "This is so well managed and excellent learned infantry" But the corpus did not have to take part in hostilities: the appearance of Russians in Germany made the enemies of Austria bent to the world.

The French minister d'Arzhanson quite definitely wrote that Russia's actions in Poland, their powerful movement towards Rhine, give the concept of that impressive strength, which one has this power. Cardinal de Fleeri so told the Marquis Jacques de Shetardi, sent by the ambassador to Russia: "Russia in relation to equilibrium in the north has reached too much power, its union with the Austrian house is extremely dangerous. Seen on business in Poland, as the Viennese courtyard was abused by this Union. If he could recently lead to the Rhine Corpus of the Moscow troops at 10 thousand, when he needs to subjugate his whole empire, he will be able to drive all Germany crowds of barbarians " .

War with Turks

Azov campaign

Crimean hike

Upon returning from Azov, the government laid the collection to the campaign of Don Cossacks, the Malorosiysk and Slobodsk Cossack regiments, as well as Bashkir. Such an assignment went wrong with the personal intentions of Lassi. Already four years have passed, as he left his family, did not see children, and even because of permanent movements, he almost did not receive letters. According to him, his children were "without science and charity." Wanting to see His, Lassi asked for all winter on vacation in Riga. Instead, he received the order to discuss together with the minisha, the plan of the future campaign and should be in the form of consolation, he was awarded the Order of St. Andrei First Called. The commander-in-chief in encouraging of the right service April 1, 1737 was granted in Liflandia of 37 lands of the Earth.

Lassi made up from Azov to the Crimea from the rotten sea, from where he was not waiting for him and, going him, invaded the peninsula, devastating everything on the road and moving to Karasubazar. This town he broke the Khan army in two battles on 12 and 14 June, but could not remain in the country due to the lack of provision, and especially horse feed. Lassi would hold longer to the Crimea even longer and would have achieved more success if he left the help from Malorussia from Prince I. F. Baryatinsky in time. Without seeing timely support, Lassi retreated to the dairy waters.

Lassi Case in 1738-1739

Going to Petersburg for the meeting and coordination of the actions of the Russian and Austrian armies (November 1737), Lassi returned to the south and began to prepare for a new spring campaign. His regular army was strengthened by Cossack and Kalmytian regiments and again from Lassi sprinkled complaints of lacking money, recruits, horses, ammunitions, a lack of cart, dissolution, cabbage, horse breakdowns, artillery supplies, etc. Having granting disagreement among the heads of Don Troops and As far as it was possible to make, Lassi moved to the step. On June 26, 1738, he switched to Sivash, leaving traffic under the protection of a decent team. The 40,000th Turkish Tatar army retreated for the shaft, at the end of which was the fortress of Chivas-Kale. Lassi seeded her. Prait rain prevented the beginning of decisive actions.

Lack of supplies and drought forced him to retreat to the Don; The failure has so much on Lassi that he sent the Empress about resigning, but in St. Petersburg they were satisfied. The sovereign thanked him for the service and wished her continuation. Such the highest approbation of the tumbled him is incredibly and in a response thank you letter, he promised to serve to the end of his life.

The next year, Dniprovskaya Flotilla and Zaporizhia Cossacks were subordinated to him. In April 1739, the beginning of a new campaign was assumed. The preparation of her Lassi was extremely dissatisfied. The conclusion of the Belgrade World made this campaign overly. Regular troops, formerly under the Lassi team, were moved to Moscow due to the possibility of war with the Swedes.

War with Swedes

Lassi was from among those knightly natures, which were still met in the first half of the 18th century. He had to need to sell his sword, but it was right and honestly served who paid. The warrior in nature and the inconsistencies, he loved and knew his business and was distinguished from other Russian commander from the Inomes that he always had the interests of Russia, and not their own everywhere. He never showed an inclination to be famous in the vain shedding of a foreign Russian blood for him and never drove into such desperate affairs, which thundered mini.

In the Swedish war 1741-1743 Lassi - Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army. He himself decree on February 19, 1740, he was appointed Governor-General Liflyandsky and Riga, and in November, he was granted to the offspring in the graph of the Holy Roman Empire. This time was a flourishing effect. On August 8, 1741, Lassi was appointed to present in the Military Collegium.

The Swedish war is largely due to the energy, managing and caringness about the army of Peter Lassi. Leading it, he showed himself a faithful and smart student of Peter the Great and in the production of operations in Finland enjoyed both his experience and his past personal. Discipline in the troops and the ability to get along with the population he acquired in Finland many goodwires and supporters of Russia.

The war with Sweden ended the combat activities of Lassi, but he continued to be a prominent military leader, and they were treated for advice with the complication of external affairs. On July 27, he was appointed commander of the troops in Liflaland.

Peter Lassi died in 1751, leaving after himself a good memory, especially among the soldiers.

It was continued until he was joining the throne of Empress Ekaterina I: she complained to Lassia Kavaler of the Order of St. Alexander Nevskago, in the very day of this sign of this sign, May 21, 1725; General-Ansefom, a member of the military colleague (in August) and soon, by the Commander-in -coming Armenia, located in St. Petersburg, in English, Novogorodsky Gubernіyi, Estlands and Karelii; Riga General Governor (1726).

When young Peter II-th headed Ekaterinѣ, Prince Menshikov, managed by Kormalom State, resumed the effort to the Duchy of Kurnedskago, and, not the success of VestroIniyia through negotiations, it was necessary to achieve Himaago. It is curious that Duke Ferdinand was still in alive, did not think about death, and about the grazing, he died through ten years later, I was already a member of the head, Prince Moritz Saxonskago, selected (1726) on the Sejm Courneda and Semigal State Fans! - Lassi joined Kurlyni in three p-shelves and two equestrian (1727). He was entrusted to send from the Duchy of the shelter to Herch Moritz: Colonel Funk received ordered from Rossіiskago General to arrest Prince on Osmagen's Island; But he was successful to hide on fishing boat off our detachment. Funk captured his retinue, consisting of one hundred six people, property and paper. Moritz turned to the lassi written proposed: annually ѳDavat Menshikov for forty thousand Efimkov, if he refuses his demand, which may involve Rossiyskiy Dvor, the silence of all of Europe will be indignant; there are two thousands of worm-tolerated who will occupy Society in this dѣlѣ and, in words, by vastovanago, was called even to double the proposed amount of the prince of Jelly. The note of Morita was brought to Petersburg on September 9, in the very day when Menshikov, deprived of the ranks and signs exceeded, was expelled from the capital; But Lassi succeed, one but, destroy the election of Moritz (26 numbers).

Delosѣ the commander of Peter Velikago was only the performer disposal from the other leaders, did not have the case to put in all the brilliance of the Skill in the military craft. Empress Anna Ioannovna rushed him (1733) the bosses of the twenty year of Aria, he moved to Kejokamov Vistula against the adherents of Stanislav Leshchinskago. January 4th arrived Lassi Kenet; This city was conquered by the newly elected king Augustus III and let the Russian Garnizon. Lassi held in Odzdѣ Danzig, when she smalled his count minih. Staying under the command of Field Marshal, he decided by a ten-thousand County Count Tarlo and Castelana Tercago, Pospasshavshiy to help Stanislav Ke Danziga, Sodelized the delivery of this city, destroyed the troops of Moskchenskago, was possessed by Krakov, awarded from August III Order of Balao Orl (1734).

In 1735, Lassi spoke to Riina 12,000 people for the United Agrades of Prince Savodskago: Passed Bohemia and Verkhniy Palatinat, exciting the leader of the device and the discipline of the head of the regiments, deserved Slavnago's praise. Our auxiliary army returned back to the shore of the Rhine, for the causes of the world, then the world between Franzi and Austria: the emperor Karl Vi complained Lassi his portrait his shrouded in brilliants and five thousand wormlock; The sovereign presented to Him from Feldmarshlskiy Zham, February 17, 1736, instructed to go to Azov.

Between the raisins and the Ukrainian linimes in the steppe, the Tatars attacked Kozakov, accompanied by Lassia, they decided them and flew in Plѣn; Feldmarshal himself barely ached; His crews were stopped and robbed. On May 20, Azov surrendered to him to Kapitulay. The Empress has awarded Valia and the Radious Lassenaya Service of St. The Apostle Andrei Prolozvnang on March 5, 1737.

He monitored his name his glorious campaign to Crimea. Khan with allocating the army is located behind Perekop Lingi, it is much durable, but Lassi has led a forty-fighter Armia New Dear. I agreed to the military officer of the Operations, the counter-admiral of the championship, which was able to remember him Flothilia on Black Sea, Felmarshal moved away from the rod of the Berdy with all the forces to the milk waters, holding as a closer to the coast of the Sea Azovskago. 14th Іyuuna (1737), Armia is located along the sleeves of this sea, which continues before the relentment, imaging the fleetilia of Bredal on the arms of the cannogo shock himself. Lassi immediately ordered the bridge; All Aria, by moving around Him 18th, continued to hike along the Sea's Azovskago on Kosѣ, leading to Arabati; It was joined by four thousand Kalmykov, under the leadership of Goldan-Narm, the son of Dunduck-ombo. Surprised Khan Posparsheel to Arabati to stop Rossiyan in this TѣSnoy passage; But Lassi, having learned about him, ordered the depth of the Sleeves of Maskago, revealed to the braid in the Crimea, and our maintenance-friendly mѣstly for crossing, Velѣl to drive the rafts from the empty barrels, logs and slings, during the Aria found. Thus, Poshota crossed the sleeve on the roof, and the cavalier climb.

Not one Khan believed the dorned namrenіe lassia to go on Kosѣ K Arabatu. Sun, the generals, chrome of Spiegel, came to him in a tent session presented that he was subjected to the death of Aria. Lassi died, that the military preproyatii usually be conjugate in danger, and that although he didn't see him here; However, asks them to their owl, what way to enter this case? The generals walked back to. "If you want, I regained Feldmarshal - I will order you to give you the views for the departure" - and velveked the secretary to produce it, appointing two of the Dragunov for accompanied by the general generals in the Ukrainian, so that they were waiting for his return. We could hardly die on three days to soften Lassia and ashamed allowed to stay with it.

Han Finding that Russian Armia entered the Arabatsky Passage, Kotoro I was waiting for her, but by half the bay, and that she was right to ky him, went to Mountain, being disturbed by Kozaki and Kalmyks. Then Feldmarshal turned to the right to the Mountains to Nastrich Khan. In the twenty-six versts of Karasubazar, the Lord of the Crimeans in the best of his troops attacked Russian Armia; But I was progress. Salted Lassi went to Karasubazar; Digitudes of unimportant, one of the Russians, to prevent the procession of the Russians, were disassembled. On the hill, the blizzards of the city, opened by the post-the Ukrainian camp, which was up to fifteen thousand Turks. Loaded, Feldmarshal ordered the Lieutenant General Douglas, who bombarded the avant-garde, to attack the universal and mastering the city. Douglas executed this instructed by the perfect success: the defendant, the fighting, continuously did not accept the Turks, the Turks appealed to the Body; The city was looted and burned. Feldmarshal is located a camp in two versets from him. Kozakama and Kalmykov were ordered to penetrate how to give the mountains and burn the dwellings of Tatars: about a thousand selenium addressed in ash; Bolѣe thirty thousand bulls and up to one hundred thousand Barana were given the mining of chance. 15 Іyulya, Lassi gathered military assembly, in which it is roded to go back to the Crimea; For the plan of the Opechasi, consistently in the punishment of Tatars for Nodgii to Rossiya, was Viven, and the distant duali did not have to come.

Feldmarshal Lassi covered himself with the new glory to the year (1738) by Feldmarshal: he entered the Crimea with a thirty-five thousand people, without losing a single man. Han stood at the Perekop Lingi of the Corps for the protection of Oyoy. The days of the Sea Azovskago dries out of the days of the Sea of \u200b\u200bSea, and the Western Water is driven out of the ongo that the peninsula can be achieved on the bottom. Feldmarshal took advantage of this in the rod and to the tide succeed to move the sea. Pereakov surrendered to 26 Іyuyuna the two thousandth Garrison of Yanychar. Inserts found to a hundred guns. Lassi went to Dalѣe in Crimea, which turned out to be almost empty. Blowing up in Ukrѣpleniya Pokskonskon Linіi, he returned to Okty Kohl.

In 1739, Lassi was erected in the County dignity of Rossiya Imperii (in November); In 1740, on the occasion of the festival of the world's festival of the world, Ottoman's portion, for courageous feats awarded a sword, brilliant and pensіon in three thousand rubles; Granted Liflyandsky General Governor. Soon the war was incentive (1741). The government of Anna Leopoldovna rushed Lassia the main bosses of Armia. After breaking (August 23), the four-thousand Swedish squad, under the command of General-Mior Vrangel, taking it in Plѣn and, Vmѣstuyu, also by seizing the Nizhnoye Nizhin, also capturing in the unquestioner. Rossіyskaya Armia is located on winter apartments. In 1742 Citizens: Friedrichsgam, 29 Іyuna; Borgo, 30 numbers; Nastalt, August 7; Tavast, 16 numbers; Helsingsfors surrendered, 24, to Kapitulyatsi. Having learned the selection of Finlandskago, the Swedes are naming to go to Abov, Lassi warned them on the road, Pouring still Peter Great, which was then cleared by his soldiers then; entered (in September) in the capital of the Principality of Finlandcago; Presѣk to the uni-tier reported by the eagle of the earth; Forced seventeen thousand Swedes to surrender by prisonership.

Military duality resumed in 1743: Saying goodbye by Feldmarshal, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna complained to him a precious brilliant ring, laid the golden cross in reigns on him, hugged Lassia and wished him the new sucpe. Nasty V-etres prevented Rossіyski escaders to arrive to Helsingsfors before the 2nd Іyuna: the sea was still covered with ice floes in many mѣstakh, the blizzards of the coast and the extreme cold increased the number of patients in the troopsѣ ours. Between TѣM General Kate-made surface on Swedish galleys. The fleet of Non_yadelskіyi, consistent with the eighth ships and the gallery, is located on the profitable mѣst. The relatives of the ganguta for prevented Lass region connects the Cate. 6 Numbers, Feldmarshal moved to Tsilmind and Friendly University. Two ship Shvedkish were put on the way, which was supposed to pass by the Russian Galem. 8 numbers, held Military Council: Roschuly to expect the fleet to be our leader, led by Admiral Count Golovny. Soon the Swedes were delivered among the gallery and the military to Rossіiski ships: if the goluzov was fully executed, without referring to Field Marshal, without referring to the regulation of Peter Velikago, the unrequisitor would have suffered a terrible amazing. Lassi sent to him, the 18th of Iyun, fourteen small vessels of the troops; The Swedes raised sails and prepared to prevent themselves with their ships condescens; Golovin SDѣlal like Mozhizae, also entered the open sea; But both fleets did not rod to enter into battle, and the name of the Holly Skinslocks, our sailed to the island of Gokhlanda, the blizzards of Revel, DGѣ stood calmly to the prisoner of the world, and Swedishly retired in Karls-Kronu. 23 IYYUN Feldmarshal arrived in Sutton: I found a squadron of General Keit. Uni-tailed galleys retired to Stockholm; Ours approached Degerby Island. The 26th of the number was held by Military Council, in which it was laid to swim to Rudenham, the village of Dennago Islands from Finland Shkyer, and at the first passing village to go to the shores of the sewer and to send onto it disembarking; 29, Feldmarshal was revealed to perform in the sea, as he received the ward from Abowa from our ministerial, that the preliminary articles about the world were signed by the Swedish Plenipotentiary and resolved. The Empress sent to the Count Lassi his own yacht for the village of His in S. Petersburg, he complained to him with the same villages, a sword and tobackerka, mowed brilliants and three thousand rubles of the storing price. IIoslѣ Military Labor, he joined, again, in the shipment of the position of Liflandiscago General-Governor; Died in Rigo on April 19, 1751, by seventy fourth invented birth.

Count Peter Petrovich Lassi, an experienced, non-resistant commander, was distinguished by his speed on the rudden half; Escribed by the mind joined a good heart, elevated feelings; enjoyed generally love and desperate; Was RosStitelin in the military preproyati, careful in peacetime; I did not know the courtish intrigue and therefore retained my zvania among different public coups. Rossіya is obliged to this glorious leader Duke Kroi, broken by Poderov: He presented Lassia Peter Great.

There is a death penalty in general order of proceedings in Rossіi, is, in the first plug, in the highest decree, after August 2, 1743 in the name of Lassi. Empress Elizaveta Petrovna led him then: all the criminals from the Swedet for the Ugizi and Rubery did not execute the natural life, but, by the right hand, the guilty of Vinovnago, hesitated the nostrils, with a lot of work. Count Franz Mauritzіy Lassi, son of Count Peter Petrovich, Finding, first, in our services, General Miorom, I will receive the order of the Order of St. Alexander Nevskago, he served, then, at all, in Australia and, being General-Field Marshal, died in VъNѣ 1801 G., at 77 born.
