Chapter 358

    Cherchen sternly rejected Pedro''s proposal. In Che Chen''s opinion, such behavior is no different from trafficking in human beings, and the soldiers found by this means must be extremely unstable in fighting will. When we go to the battlefield, I''m afraid, like these 1000 recruits, a row of "Gustav''s thunder" will collapse.


    The person who really solved the problem of military resources for Chechen is Natalie. On this afternoon, Natalie took two people to Chechen''s residence.


    Natalie hasn''t seen Chechen these days because she is busy solving his most annoying problems for Chechen.


    "Captain Chechen, we meet again." the two well-dressed visitors greeted Chechen with a smile.


    "Are you Patty and keayan?" Chechen didn''t expect Natalie to bring her own acquaintances. She was surprised and couldn''t speak for a moment.


    "Do you know?" Natalie didn''t expect that Chechen and the two were old acquaintances.


    "I have received the help of head Chechen before." Kia Yang said a word to bring the past.


    It was keayan, the former manor administrator of Prince yanush, and his son Bati.


    "That''s the best."


    Seeing that the two sides were still old acquaintances, Natalie said happily to Cherchen, "Cherchen, buddy and kiajan are the agents of count Hessen. Aren''t you short of troops? They can help."


    "You? Count Hessen?" after all, Cherchen had little experience. He didn''t understand how the two Jews became the agents of the count, and who count Hessen was.


    Natalie has to explain this to him.


    Hessen is now Hessen state in Germany. There were no famous industrial enterprises such as Siemens and Leica in Hessen state in the 17th century. The local area is mainly agricultural. At that time, Hessian had the highest forest coverage in Germany, but green water and green mountains were not golden mountains and silver mountains. For count Hessian, that was a poor mountain and evil water. In order to live a better life, the Hessian people, driven by the count of Hessian, had to embark on the same hard-working road as the Swiss.


    In the thirty year war, count Hesse of that generation was famous for recognizing money but not people. He took all the money, regardless of whether the gold coins were Catholic or Protestant. So that at the end of the thirty year war, count Hesse had a huge legion of eight infantry companies and four cavalry companies in this count country with an area of 61000 square kilometers and a total population of only 180000. These people are far beyond the daily defense needs of the Earl state. If there were no war, count Hesse could not afford to be a trouser. Fortunately, shortly after the outbreak of the Cossack uprising led by hemelinitsky in the Republic of Poland, count Hessen just rented out his army again in exchange for money to support them.


    This time, Bati and kiajan brought a lease contract of 500 Hessian mercenaries and infantry and 200 heavy cavalry and light cavalry respectively.


    "Our host attaches great importance to the traditional friendship with the Republic of Poland and hates the aggression of the kingdom of Sweden against the peace loving Republic of Poland. Therefore, the count hopes to make a modest contribution to the anti aggression struggle of the Polish people."


    After Natalie introduced Cherchen, Ki Ayan said.


    For this, Chechen expressed his thanks. Next, he was about to ask about the rent of Hessen''s mercenaries. Natalie suddenly said, "Cherchen, I''m going back right away. I came here without telling my father. I''m too late for him to be suspicious."


    "Oh, that''s good." Chechen was reluctant to see Natalie leaving soon.


    "Fool, I''ll escape again if I have a chance." Natalie smiled at Chechen and rode away.


    Now, there are only Chechen, keayan and Bati left.


    When Chechen asked about the Commission, Ji Ayan said happily that the price given by count Hesse was a friendly price. A Hessian heavy cavalry only needs 480 tales a year; A Hessian light cavalry paid 240 tales a year; The cheapest infantry, a Hessian infantry, only needs 120 tales a year.


    Chechen calculated. Hessen''s heavy cavalry and light cavalry are too expensive to bear. Moreover, the quality of cavalry in the Republic of Poland is not inferior, and the price is much cheaper.


    Although the price of infantry is slightly higher than that of domestic, it is not too outrageous.


    "Are these mercenaries armed with armor and weapons?" Chechen asked.


    "Of course, all the weapons and armor made by count Hesse. And most of them are veterans who have participated in the thirty year war," kiajan promised.


    "That''s more reasonable, just..." Chechen thought. But he was a little embarrassed.


    Five hundred Hessian hired infantry, 60000 Taylor a year and 5000 Taylor a month. The money Chechen now has is only enough to pay them for four months. In four months, the mercenary regiment will be unsustainable.


    "Or I''ll hire 200 people," said Chechen, gritting his teeth.


    "Is captain Chechen worried about not enough money?" Kiah asked with understanding.


    Chechen nodded somewhat embarrassed.


    "Captain Chechen doesn''t have to worry at all. Miss Natalie has paid all the money for one year," kiajan said.


    Chechen was a little shocked. He never thought Natalie should be so rich. It''s 60000 Taylor!


    "Including cavalry?" Chechen asked weakly.


    Keayan gave lechechen a positive answer.


    Chechen was deeply moved. Natalie really paid a lot for herself.


    "Captain Chechen, Miss Natalie paid not cash, but the output right of the farms and land in the kishka family territory. She transferred the five-year use right to us," kiajan explained.


    "But these are still the property of old yanushi?" Chechen didn''t believe that Natalie''s father would suddenly change his mind to help himself.


    "But miss Natalie is the only heir. We bought the option of the land after the boss died," kiajan explained.


    This involves another question, that is, will count Hesse agree to pay with uncertain options in the future?


    And kiajan told Cherchen that the cash count Hessen wanted would be advanced by Jewish bankers, and it was the Jews who really bought the option.


    Keayan and Chechen are old acquaintances. He doesn''t hide the way.


    Chechen finally understood. He is a mercenary, but Natalie paid the money, and Natalie is his guarantor. Natalie didn''t have so much money, so she mortgaged the proceeds of her future land to the Jewish banker and paid the money to count Hesse.


    Keayan took out the contract and Chechen signed it.


    Kiajan rolled up the contract with satisfaction.


    "Five hundred mercenaries and two hundred cavalry, we will ship to Werner in ten days," kiajan promised.


    With that, kiajan remembered another very important thing.


    "Commander Chechen, although it is not written in the contract, I would like to remind you that Hessian mercenaries have the right to refuse to fight with their fellow countrymen. That is to say, if they encounter Hessian employed by the Swedish army, they will not participate in the war. Of course, the other party will do the same," kiajan said.


    "But didn''t you say count Hessen supported and sympathized with the just cause of the Polish people?" Cherchen didn''t expect that there were Hessen mercenaries in the Swedish army, which was completely contrary to what kiajan said just now.


    "Yes, but we count. He also supports the liberation of the king of Sweden."
