Field marshal lubaomatsky is very successful and careless, but he has many fine people under him. After the coronation ceremony, the Marshal''s advisers "translated" the meaning of the declaration issued by the king in the church today to the marshal.
After hearing this, lubaomatsky was furious immediately. He was a traditional aristocrat. It was more difficult for him to share power with the humble farmers than to kill him. Marshal lubaumatsky felt that there was no greater insult than this. Although some advisers felt that the king''s remarks were just an expedient measure to unite all classes, especially the farmers with the vast majority of the population, against the invaders, the marshal still couldn''t accept them. In the Marshal''s eyes, a nobleman''s power is limited, and it is more tragic to be in power and on an equal footing with the humble groups such as farmers and businessmen than to be destroyed by Sweden or czar Russia.
In order to express his protest and dissatisfaction, lubaomatsky refused to go to the king''s temporary palace to attend the dinner. Those nobles who had the same idea as the marshal, seeing that marshal lubaomatsky was a leader, also followed closely, one after another refused the invitation to the palace to attend the dinner for various reasons.
In this way, compared with the lively coronation ceremony, the dinner party was deserted. There were only a few people present, such as general Stefan charnietsky, abbot kordtsky of Daguangming mountain, and King''s adviser yanush kishka.
Old lord Stanislaw pototsky was not present. However, the old man did not betray the king, but went to the Marshal''s house of lubaomatsky to make peace for the king and marshal.
"In other countries, the king is the king. But in Poland, the king is nothing. Military power, financial power and diplomacy are controlled by the elders and nobles of the Senate. Nothing I do can be done without their consent. Today, I just issued a declaration. Lubomatsky opposed me and protested by refusing to attend the dinner, Is he still my minister? "Said King kazimizh angrily.
"Your Majesty, marshal just wants you to respect the traditions of the Republic," yanush whispered.
At this time, janush kishka is embarrassed. As one of the great nobles in the Republic, his emotion is on the side of the marshal. Yanushi, who came from the glorious period of the Republic, certainly agrees that the rights of the nobles should be respected; However, out of the responsibility and reason of the king''s adviser, he was also very clear that the noble Republic was becoming more and more incompatible with the times. The one vote veto and prevarication of Parliament made the country miss a lot of opportunities.
"Do I have any disrespect for tradition? Did I say to deprive the marshal of his power? I just want to let the Patriots of other classes share their power and mobilize all their forces to expel the Swedes. The nobility, even those little nobility who have nothing, account for only 10% of the total number of the Republic, that is, we have always relied on the Republic One tenth of the country''s strength is fighting against the surrounding countries, so why not mobilize the other 90%? With their participation, the Republic will be able to tide over the crisis. "King kazimizh loudly defended his declaration. The clarity of its organization really impressed yanush.
Without waiting for yanush to speak, general Stefan charnietsky also stood up and said: "Indeed, your majesty. In my war with the Swedes, I have seen many times that the rebel army composed of spontaneous farmers and little nobles fought with the best equipped Swedes with the simplest weapons. Although they suffered heavy losses, they still moved forward bravely. Even I am ashamed of their courage to serve the country."
Stefan charnietsky obviously supported the king''s decision. The words of the commander in chief increased the confidence of King kazimiz. Kazimiz''s eyes glowed with an unprecedented look and looked at yanush like a winner.
"But your majesty..."
"I agree..."
Yanushi wanted to speak, but President koldzki opened his mouth at the same time. In order to show his respect for the president, yanushi had to stop and wait for president koldzki to finish.
"I also agree with the statement of general Stefan," said Dean koldzki. "During the monastery defense war, many farmers joined in the battle to defend the monastery. Their performance was no worse than those nobles."
King kazimiz smiled and smiled. Now, the chief soldier and the Dean support themselves.
Yanushi shook his head reluctantly. He did not doubt that the words of general soldier Stefan and President koldzki were true. He also knew the benefits of encouraging farmers to resist aggression, but now, only now, at least the strength of farmers is not as practical as that of Marshal.
"But your majesty, the counterattack is imminent, and we still need the support of the marshal." yanush admonished.
When yanushi said this, the king, the general army and the president were silent. Yanushi pointed out the most realistic problem, that is, marshal lubaomatsky''s strength is indispensable in the upcoming major counter offensive. If Marshal refused to send troops because of this incident today, it would cause immeasurable losses to the Republic. Stefan charnietsky''s men are There are soldiers, but his supplies come from the marshal.
Just then Stanislaw pototsky returned. The old man was dusty and sweating on his forehead. It was obvious that he had come in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, marshal, he won''t give in to anything. He hopes you will respect the tradition of the Republic. Otherwise, the marshal hinted that he might postpone the date of the counter offensive."
As soon as he came to King kazimiz, pototsky panted.
The king''s face was livid, and lubaomatsky threatened himself with a counter attack.
"Is there no room for turning around? Where is your Majesty''s authority to let his majesty tear up the oath he has just made?" yanushi asked pototsky.
Pototsky shook his head. He did not mediate, and even without the consent of King kazimiz, he proposed to ask the king to write a guarantee to the marshal in exchange for the Marshal''s understanding, but lubaomatsky was not moved at all.
At this time, the marshal had shown the true colors of a warlord.
Janush looked at kazimiz. Now it''s up to the king to make his own decision.
Kazimiz clenched his lips. It can be seen that his heart is struggling violently.
After a while, King kazimiz said, "let''s go to Lithuania!"
