Chapter 273

    On the fourth day after alvid Wittenberg issued a dispatch order to Krakow, his deputy, General Anders Eriksson, came. Anders Eriksson did not bring any soldiers to alvid Wittenberg here. What he brought was the hope that alvid Wittenberg would give up his request to attack Daguangming Mountain Monastery.


    "General, please stop this absurd act in time. If you don''t want to be a sinner in the Kingdom," Anders Eriksson said surprisingly.


    "General Anders Eriksson, are you threatening me?" said alvid Wittenberg discontentedly.


    Anders Eriksson probably felt his tone was too intense. He took a sigh of relief and said calmly, "of course not, your excellency. I''m just worried that you will return in vain. After all, the defense of Daguang Mingshan monastery is strong."


    Alvid wiedenberg looked a little slower. He said in a careless tone, "you don''t need to worry about it. Since we attacked Poland, how many great cities and fortresses that are so called indestructible have fallen into the hands of our Swedish army. A small monastery, can it be stronger than Krakow?"


    "That''s not the analogy, my Lord. Although you are worthy of the reputation of the ''master of attacking fortified areas'', it is a well-known fact that even the weakest fortress, as long as the defender is firm and willing to die rather than surrender, the battle is bound to last for a long time. If the attacking party doesn''t want to pay a lot of blood, it must spend a lot of time and so on When the enemy runs out of food and grass, "Anders Eriksson analyzed. He tried to persuade him with reason and facts.


    "General Anders Eriksson, I think you are alarmed. The monks of those monasteries will tremble as long as a shell falls on the roof of their monasteries. How can they stick to it?" said vreshzovic disdainfully.


    At this time, in order to cover up his ugly back of his head, vreshzovic had to wear a boat helmet and his black dress.


    Anders Eriksson glared at vrezzovich. He had a good temper with alvid Wittenberg, but not with vrezovic.


    "If the monks are as vulnerable as your excellency said, I should stand in the chapel of the monastery and talk to you now," ironically Anders Eriksson.


    Vreshzovic''s face was blue and white, but he dared not refute. Because standing in front of him was a Swedish general.


    "Anders Eriksson, why do you think they will resist to the end?" asked alvid Wittenberg.


    "Because of faith, my Lord. Do you remember? In the thirty year war, even regular soldiers lost confidence in defense in some places, but those monks still rose up and set a brave and tenacious example for the people. This situation is very similar. Moreover, the monastery in Daguang Mingshan is not as simple as an ordinary monastery. It is built in a On the Rocky Mountain, this means that the way we are good at digging tunnels, burying gunpowder and blasting is extremely difficult. Moreover, for such a rich monastery, its food and gunpowder will not be lacking. And I''m afraid that if it lasts for a long time, people''s hearts will change, "Anders Eriksson said.


    The last point is what he is most worried about. A group of Protestant led troops attacked a Catholic Church. What an uproar would it cause in this Catholic country!


    Anders Ericsson continued: "As soon as the news of your attack on the monastery is spread, it will immediately make a very bad impression on people. Our strength comes from the victorious army, as well as from the nobles who obey us, the powerful families and dignitaries who cooperate with us and the regular armies who join us. You can''t deny that half of our success is due to them. Can you It was the shot of chenstohova. I''m afraid everything will be wasted. "


    Alvid Wittenberg admitted in his heart that the first half of Anders Eriksson was right.


    Although general alvid wiedenberg himself despised the surrenders, it did not prevent him from recognizing the role played by them.


    However, he doesn''t think what Anders Eriksson said in the second half. As a famous general of Sweden, alvid wiedenberg is cold and proud. In his opinion, any resistance can only be suppressed with fire and sword. As long as the situation of high pressure is maintained on the ruled and those who dare to resist are made an example, the people here will be obedient to the people. That''s why when a village pays less than a carriage of grain, alvid wiedenberg orders his men to cut off one of their hands.


    He wants everyone to learn to fear.


    "Anders Eriksson. This won''t happen, because I''ll take the monastery soon. And," said alvid videnberg, dragging vreshzovich beside him.


    "Vreshzovic, do you think you will betray me?" asked alvid Wittenberg coldly.


    "Yes, of course not. I will always be loyal to the great King Carl X and general you." vreshdrovic said timidly.


    In front of alvid wiedenberg, of course, there is only one answer to this question.


    Alvid wiedenberg released vreszhovich with satisfaction. He said to Anders Eriksson, "look, Eriksson. Vreszhovich is polish and Catholic, but he works for me faithfully. Your worry is completely unreasonable."


    Anders Eric trembled with relief. He didn''t expect that alvid Wittenberg would refute himself with the "living" example of vrezzovic.


    "Since you are so sure, general, I won''t say anything. But I reserve my opinion and will report to his majesty."


    With that, Anders Eriksson did not wait for alvid Wittenberg to speak, saluted alvid Wittenberg, and then withdrew.


    Anders Eriksson''s actions made alvid Wittenberg furious. He wanted to use the facts to make him admit his mistakes.


    "Vrezovich!" cried alvid Wittenberg, "let your army join in and attack the monastery with me."
