Chapter 174

    Victor and Cherchen''s victory is only a microcosm of the battles around Mia jersk. With the foreign mercenaries joining the war and the use of various artillery, the scattered resisters dispersed one after another. Some of them withdrew from the city and fled to the countryside, while others laid down their arms and surrendered. In the evening, all the fires in the urban area of miatelsk had been extinguished, and only a few shots rang out occasionally.


    This victory encouraged Prince yanush. He seemed to see that he could control the situation in Lithuania even without the support of various lords and regiment leaders.


    Among them, the performance of Chechen''s mercenary regiment was especially welcomed by Prince yanush. Although most of the victory over the resisters of yezh haritsky''s headquarters was due to Victor''s proper command, the role played by Cherchen''s headquarters was not so indispensable and irreplaceable. But the composition of Chechen''s mercenary Corps is too special - most of its officers are foreigners, while the soldiers are Lithuanians.


    Under the background of low morale of other local troops and unwilling to fire on their compatriots, this mercenary regiment maintained high fighting spirit and loyalty to the raziwiu family, which really surprised Prince yanush.


    So before the resistance in all parts of the city had completely subsided, Prince yanush couldn''t wait to send someone to summon victor and Cherchen. Although the prince actually wanted to see only Chechen, he didn''t want to cool Victor''s heart because he favored one over the other.


    In the hall of the castle, Prince yanush cordially received them. As before, Prince yanushi first praised the two men for their heroic performance and proper command in the battle. Then, the prince handed over to the two people the prepared pledge documents worth 1000 Taylor and 300 Taylor respectively. With this document, they can receive a reward from the steward of Cong castle.


    Before victor and Cherchen thanked the prince, Prince yanush couldn''t wait to ask Cherchen: "Chechen, I saw the performance of your mercenary regiment today. They were very brave. If other people under my command could behave like them, I would have calmed down the civil strife and foreign enemies. I know that your mercenary regiment is different from other mercenaries. Most of the soldiers are local people. How did you make them so morale?"


    Cherchen first thanked Prince yanush for his praise. Then he said humbly, "there is no secret, your highness. I just repeated what you said to my soldiers."


    "What did I say? Which one?" Prince yanushi asked. He said many things, including making promises, coercion and inducement, but none of them seemed to have such an obvious effect. Those who should betray themselves still betrayed themselves.


    "Did you forget?" Chechen said in surprise, "you once told me that the purpose of your alliance with the kingdom of Sweden is to fight against czar Russia. You will lead us back to Smolensk, and we will or Yakov and send him to Daizhu."


    Yanush thought for a moment. He remembered that he did say such a thing. At that time, he said that his refuge in the kingdom of Sweden was to fight against czar Russia in order to keep Chechen loyal to himself. Of course, this is one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason.


    "Yes, I did say that," confirmed Prince yanush.


    "As you know, most of my mercenaries fled from Smolensk because they couldn''t stand Yakov''s oppression. Their biggest wish is to return to their hometown one day. Originally, they didn''t want to shoot their compatriots, so I told them your plan. They all understood your good intentions and endured humiliation. That''s why It has boosted morale again, "Chechen explained to Prince yanush in the future.


    After listening to Chechen''s story, Prince yanush understood. He scolded himself why he didn''t think of this layer.


    Yes, compared with the people in other places who had not been tyrannically ruled by czar Russia, the nobles and civilians in Smolensk, svutsk, Minsk and other areas first occupied by the enemy had enough suffering. These people fled the enemy occupied areas with their families, and the number reached tens of thousands. Most of their assets were left behind, so they had no hatred for czar Russia To add. Relatively speaking, the remote Swedes are abstract and have not harmed them. As long as they publicize to them that the Swedes are here to help us fight czar Russia, they can eliminate their resistance to a great extent and use it for raziweu.


    "Indeed, dear Chechen. Thank you for reminding me," said Prince yanush. Next, he thought of a wonderful idea.


    "Lieutenant Victor," Prince yanush said to victor, "there is one thing I want to apologize to you in advance, because I want someone from you."


    "Please don''t say that, your highness. You are the benefactor of me and the infantry, and everything we have is given by you. Just tell whoever you want to call." Victor said in fear.


    Prince yanushi nodded with satisfaction. He pointed to Chechen and said: "I want to transfer Chechen out of your infantry team. Don''t get me wrong. I know you two cooperate well and have a good relationship. I''m doing this to expand the army. Now, due to the betrayal of the traitors, what I lack most is experienced officers. So for you, I want a lieutenant to be a captain and a company commander to be a head. I''ll transfer people from other troops."


    Seeing that Prince yanush wanted to expand the manpower of the mercenary regiment, Chechen was immediately happy. He squinted at Victor secretly, not knowing what he thought.


    "This is a good thing. How could I misunderstand! But your highness, I want to remind you that there are not so many mercenaries in Lithuania at present."


    Victor had no objection to the prince''s transfer of his people, but Victor gently raised his concerns.


    "Don''t use foreign mercenaries. You just recruit among the refugees. Tell them that we''ll take them to fight the Russians. And the prisoners. You break them up and assign them to various teams."


    Prince yanushi said with a red face and confidence. For this problem, recruiting refugees into the army is his response.


    The prince seemed to have seen thousands of soldiers gathered under his command.


    "I will always remember your kindness, Prince." when Victor agreed, Cherchen said gratefully to Prince yanush.


    "As long as you serve me faithfully, that is the best reward. When the rebellion here is completely subsided, I will lead the army to recover Werner as soon as possible. You should recruit as many soldiers as possible as soon as possible," Prince yanush said.


    As soon as the Prince wanted to lead the army to leave Mia jersk to recover Werner, Cherchen remembered something. He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what are you going to do with mihau and Anjie before that?"
