Yanush finally spoke. His first words surprised everyone.
"Gentlemen and distinguished guests, many of you will be surprised or even frightened by what I have to say. However, please follow your trust in me, trust me, trust me, and be the most loyal friend of our raziweu family. Then, please raise your glasses and shout with me: long live King Carl Gustav!"
"Hooray! Hooray!"
All the mercenary officers around Prince yanush and Senator Carl leibenhaupt shouted in unison.
But there was no sound under the stage.
Originally, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and cheered after Prince yanush finished his toast according to practice. But tonight''s toast is really shocking. Some people stood there holding their glasses at a loss, while others did it and remained silent.
Prince yanushi originally chose to announce the news after three rounds of drinking, considering that people are prone to confusion when drunk, but the current situation does not seem to be as he intended.
"Mihaw, did we hear wrong? Did you hear what the prince was saying?" Anjie asked mihaw with a pale face.
"The Republic has been betrayed," mihau said gnashing his teeth.
After yanushi said that, he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. After a long sigh of relief, without giving the public time to respond, he turned to Senator Carl leibenhaupt and said, "Mr. senator, it''s time to announce the treaty we signed. Let everyone know what his majesty Carl X has brought to us."
Senator Carl lebenhopt nodded. He now raised his head like a proud rooster, unfolded a parchment instrument and began to read out: the world is difficult and the country is in danger. After losing all hope of being saved by the most noble king, we, the nobles and subjects of all classes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Unanimously decides to accept the asylum of his Majesty the king of Sweden, the most distinguished, and to act in accordance with the following agreement:
1、 Joint operations against all common enemies.
2、 The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was not incorporated into Sweden, but was united with the kingdom of Poland in the past. That is, in all aspects, nation and nation are equal, Parliament and Parliament are equal, and nobility and nobility are equal.
3、 In parliament, everyone''s freedom of speech.
4、 Freedom of religion is inviolable.
Compared with the silence at the beginning, the treaty caused a lot of noise among the nobility. Some nobles discussed the terms of the treaty loudly and thought that they were not unacceptable.
"Long live his Majesty the king of Sweden!"
A shout came out of the crowd. It was Jan sobesky. The young soldier was the first to become a supporter of the prince.
Then General Alexander otkinski joined the camp of long live. His territory is at Fort covno, which is surrounded by the kingdom of Sweden. Without the support of Prince yanush, it is a Jedi.
Prince yanush nodded with satisfaction. People follow the crowd. As long as there are the first and second responders, more and more people will follow.
Boguslav, who stood behind the prince, had the same mentality. He was ready to shout out his attitude immediately to arouse a more chain reaction.
But just then, a shrill plea came:
"Your Highness, for the sake of Christ, for the sake of the great name of the previous king, and for the sake of the great deeds of the country before the king, show mercy and don''t let all this go to waste. Please throw the Treaty on the ground and step on the soles of your feet. Don''t abandon the Republic, don''t abandon us, don''t abandon yourself!"
It was stanevich, the gray headed old regiment leader. The old regiment leader is 67 years old. He used to live at home and have milk and grandchildren, but for the sake of the Republic, the old man still put on his war robe without hesitation.
"Can''t betray, can''t betray." some voices began to respond, and their voices became louder and louder.
Seeing the voice of opposition, boguslav closed his mouth. Prince yanushi was at a loss in the face of the appeal, and it took him a while to recover.
"I''ve made a decision. Don''t say more," Prince yanush replied to stanevich in a commanding tone.
"Please, please."
The captain of the old regiment collapsed to the ground, and his turbid eyes lost their look for a moment, but his mouth kept wriggling.
But the prince has made up his mind, how can a mere regiment leader change it.
"Don''t ask him! It''s useless to ask."
Mihau suddenly stood up. He went to the old man and helped the old man stanevich. He looked at Prince yanush with angry and regretful eyes.
"I really regret saving you so many times. You are a dragon and a hungry wolf in sheep''s clothing. I curse your family. From then on, your soul will fall into hell and your body will be swallowed up by demons."
The "little man" Knight never cursed a person with vicious words. He said these words intermittently and incomprehensibly, but the sad and angry emotion can be felt by everyone.
Infected by mihau''s words, Anjie kemitz also stood up, went to mihau and threw the scepter around his waist on the ground.
Then, yezh halletsky, Sigmund srushka, Jan zamois, Stanislaw leantskorontsky and mihau came together.
There was a sound of metal landing on the floor. It was the scepter of the officers. In this way, they expressed their determination to make a clean break to yanush.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, yanush shouted, "escort! Victor, escort!"
The small doors around the hall were opened. More than 30 soldiers and officers came in with guns. They dispersed the crowded crowd in the hall, and then formed a human wall around the high platform. The muzzle of the human wall was facing mihau and others.
"Mihau, you betrayed me! Thanks to me, I have always regarded you as a model of soldiers. And you, now I give you one last chance - willing to change your mind to the left."
"I am a soldier, and obeying orders is my bounden duty." a regiment leader retreated, and then some soldiers and nobles who are afraid of death walked to the left.
Jeri haretsky, Sigmund srushka, Jan zamois, Stanislaw leantzkoronsky and mihau and Anjie stood still facing the muskets.
In the face of the remaining hardliners, although yanushi was angry, he did not lose his mind. He ordered the guards to take them down and put them in prison.
Fedot, who was on duty among the guards, looked at mihaw and Anjie with mixed feelings. Even if they had the heart to save them, they were alone at this time. They had to go to others and not let themselves face the benefactors of the two mercenary regiments.
At this time, stanevich, the old regiment leader who had begged yanush, suddenly broke free of the guard''s hand and ran absently towards the balcony. Then, in full view of the public, the old man jumped off the balcony.
