Page "Casimir Pulaski" Paragraph 9

In February 1770, he moved near Nowy Targ, and in March, he took part in the quelling of the mutiny of Józef Bierzyński.

Next, he operated in the southern Lesser Poland region, based in Izby, and on 13 May he was defeated at the battle of Dęborzyn.

Around 9 – 10 June in Prešov, meeting other Confederate leaders, he also met Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, who complimented him on his actions.

On 3 – 4 July, Pulaski's camp was captured by Johann von Drewitz, and he was forced to retreat into Austrian territory.

On the night of 31 August to 1 September, he raided Kraków.

Next he departed towards Częstochowa.

On 10 September together with Michał Walewski he used subterfuge to take control of the Jasna Góra monastery.

Between September 10, 1770, and January 9, 1771, Pulaski and Walewski commanded the Polish forces in the siege of Jasna Góra monastery, which they successfully defended against Drewitz.

The defense of Jasna Góra once again increased his reputation, both among the Confederates, and abroad.

A popular Confederate song taunting Drewitz included parts about Pulaski and Jasna Góra.
