Wylich was one of the officers who got an apartment in the royal Rheinsberg Castle . He was allowed to sit at the table of the future king and had generally confidential dealings with him. In 1740 he was appointed major and wing adjutant. In 1741 he became the commandant of a grenadier battalion from Regiments No. 26 (Kleist) and No. 23 (Sydow). On August 10, 1741, he occupied Wroclaw . In April 1742 he gave up the regiment and became a lieutenant colonel in the same year.
