Although Cherchen let azitan bring back his challenge to Ayuki, the war between them did not start immediately. On Chechen''s side, it takes time to gather the * * * nomadic tribes in the Asian speed region. Moreover, although Chechen doesn''t say anything, he is also cautious in his heart. He sent spies early to inquire about all the information about the Kalmyks.


    In this way, after a few days, three big ships with three masts docked at the wharf of Yasu fort. A middle-aged man in dark red Kaftan clothes and a big belly walked to the bow of the first ship.


    "Hessen, why didn''t my nephew come to meet me?" the middle-aged man put up a curtain on his eyebrows and looked out into the distance from the dock.


    "Deputy commander Pedro, you are so forgetful. Haven''t we just landed here? I haven''t had time to inform the commander." Viscount Hessen stood aside, rubbed his hands and smiled.


    This is Chechen''s uncle Pedro.


    It turned out that Viscount Hessen returned to Poland with the money and recruitment order given to him by Cherchen. After inquiring about Pedro''s work in vidava, viscount Hessen was going to vidava to report peace to Pedro, and was ready to continue to go to Hessen to recruit mercenaries, but Pedro stopped him.


    The mean fat man has a good abacus. In his mind, although he could not fight with the Swedish army and its allies within one year because he had an agreement with King Carl X of Sweden, he took the soldiers of the mercenary regiment to Crimea to help Cherchen fight, which was not a violation of the agreement. Moreover, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. Taking people to Crimea by yourself can save a lot of money for your nephew. Moreover, Pedro stayed in vidava for nearly half a year. During this half a year, he had long lost his freshness. Looking at the same scenery and serfs farming for himself every day, Pedro was tired of it. Seeing more and more holes in his belt, he was very quiet and moved.


    With this thought, Pedro summoned everyone in the mercenary regiment. All together, it was finally decided that Pedro led the soldiers of the two squadrons to Crimea, while bachit led the others to stay here. After all, the Republic of Poland is still in war. Although vidava is located in the rear, it is not certain that the Swedes or Prussians will fight one day and leave some armed forces.


    In this way, Pedro and his party passed through Austria, then went all the way down the Danube, passed through the Black Sea, and finally reached assu.


    When Viscount Hesse said this, Pedro patted his forehead hard. He forgot this so much that he was dizzy when he sat in the boat.


    "Go, go!" urged Pedro.


    Viscount Hesse hurried ashore. After a while, Chechen hurried to the wharf with Fatima and yelisheyi.


    "Uncle!" Chechen looked at Pedro''s fat face and shouted in surprise.


    "My good nephew makes my uncle want to die."


    As soon as he saw Chechen, Pedro exaggerated his arms, then jumped down from the ship like a giant toad and rushed into Chechen''s arms.


    Chechen quickly measured the gap between his body and his uncle, and then took a step back.


    Pedro fell to the ground and climbed up with dust for a long time.


    Looking at the uncle who was patting the dust on his body, Chechen asked in surprise, "Uncle Pedro, how could your majesty allow you to come to ASU? Isn''t the war in Poland very tense?"


    From Viscount Hesse, Chechen already knew that uncle Pedro wanted to save the employment fee to come to Yasu, which was in line with his uncle''s character, but Chechen didn''t understand how King kazimizh would let his uncle come.


    It''s also strange that Viscount Hessen reported to Chechen for a short time. It''s very difficult to explain things clearly.


    Pedro patted the last dirty place on his knee, and then said confidently, "why should the king agree? Anyway, because of the agreement with King Carl x, we can''t fight them again within a year, and it''s useless to stay in Poland. We might as well help you?"


    Hearing what Pedro said, Chechen was silent. From these short words, Chechen heard a lot of information that Natalie had never told herself.


    Although there are a lot of questions to ask Uncle, because this is the dock and uncle and they are tired, Chechen held back his questions for the time being. He said to Pedro, "uncle, let''s go back to the castle and talk while eating."


    Chechen led a strong pack horse for Pedro, while yelishei and others welcomed the companions of other mercenaries who came with the ship.


    In the restaurant of asuborg, through Chechen''s insinuation, Pedro told what Natalie didn''t say and what Chechen wanted to know, what had happened since the defeat of the Warsaw defense war.


    In conclusion, Pedro summed up the current situation in the Republic of Poland as follows: "Since the Tatars joined the war against Sweden, the Swedes have become more and more incompetent in the face of the raging uprising and riots. Most Swedish infantry dare not even step out of the city or castle. Those Tatars are really good at looting and destruction. Anjie led the Tatar cavalry to the elector''s nest in Prussia, and he took the whole konigsburg And the surrounding areas turned upside down. Countless villages lit up fireworks, and the residents there were tied with ropes around their necks, dragged into slaves by the Tatar cavalry. Ah, Anjie also made a fortune. Now his belt is made of gold, his cuffs are embroidered with gold thread, and even his spurs are replaced with gold. It is said that the elector pulled his clothes and sleeves to Carl x every day He cried and hoped that Carl x would agree to lead the Prussian army back to the rescue. However, Carl x himself was in deep mud in Poland and barely maintained the situation with the help of the nephew of the elector. Therefore, Carl x offered the elector higher and higher prices, starting with little Poland, then Lublin, and then even great Poland and livov They were packaged and given to the elector as a reward - anyway, most of these lands are not his. "


    Listening to Pedro talking about Carl X''s "generosity", Chechen burst out laughing. He imagined the gentle and graceful king of Sweden he had seen in Warsaw at the beginning, and now he was in a hurry. If he knew so, why did he have to start?


    Pedro continued to reveal: "And Natalie, your little girl, she''s not good now. I heard that since she returned to Poland, she led her own army and a Tatar cavalry of more than 500 people to play around with General Robert Douglas of Sweden. Once, General Robert Douglas finally got the news from Natalie''s department and led an army of 3000 people to encircle and suppress She. Guess what? It turned out that Natalie deliberately released the trace through a traitor in order to lure the Swedes out of the city. Well, Robert Douglas''s army was attacked by the poles all the time. The Tatars attacked the Swedes'' logistics supply force, the Swedish team surrounded by the Polish rebel army, and the Polish cavalry of the brigade all the time It''s no time for Douglas''s army to attack suddenly. When Robert Douglas returns, several infantry and cavalry companies have been annihilated as if they were cutting vegetables. When they escape, even their nests will be taken away! "


    What Pedro said was dripping and spitting. But when he finished, Pedro patted his thigh like a vented ball. He said to Chechen, "it''s a pity, my dear nephew. If I hadn''t promised for such a long time of a year at that time, how much wealth and reputation should I have now!"


    "So many things have happened, uncle. In fact, they have already gone to vidava, but Natalie didn''t tell me when she came to bergzisarai. Obviously, she was worried that I knew she had a conflict with her uncle." Chechen thought.


    At the thought of Natalie''s good intentions, Chechen felt guilty again. He couldn''t eat any more and put down his knife and fork.


    Sitting across the table, Pedro was unaware of the change in his nephew''s mood. After eating a hand grab meal and drinking a bowl of horse milk wine, he became interested in a roast whole sheep and tore off a leg of sheep.


    "But it''s not a bad thing to be in vidava. At least I know how many kilograms I have. In fact, I can''t do anything except war, uncle. So I gave all the land of vidava to kiajan and Bati. Do you remember that kiajan and his son Bati, Prince yanush''s former Manor administrator, are really good at taking care of the farm, It saves me a lot of energy, but it also makes me fatter, "said Pedro vaguely, biting the meat on the leg of the lamb.


    "Mm-hmm." Chechen replied absently. At this time, his heart flew to the study and to the blank stationery on the desk.


    "Hello, nephew. Did you listen to me?"


    Pedro finally found out something different about Cherchen. He put down his leg and asked Cherchen.


    "When, of course! Uncle, I''m listening to every word you say. Well, it''s better to give the Grange to Kian and buddy. Professional things should be handed over to professional people." Chechen quickly echoed.


    "I think so too." Pedro smiled when he saw that Chechen also agreed with his approach.


    "Then, uncle Pedro, you must be tired after so many days at sea. Have a good rest after eating. I''ll tell you about the enemy we face tomorrow."


    At this time, Che Chen was in a hurry to go back to his room.


    "I''m not really tired."


    As always, Pedro didn''t understand Chechen''s mind.


    "You must be tired!"


    Chechen didn''t wait for Pedro to retort. He stood up, walked to his uncle''s back and massaged Pedro''s shoulder.


    With Chechen''s massage, a sense of sleepiness really invaded.


    Chechen gently put Pedro on the bed, while he walked out with his hands and feet. He was about to close the door, but he listened behind him. Father sparsokukotsky shouted to himself.


    "Captain, I have something to find you."


    Chechen turned around and asked, "father, what''s the matter with you?"


    Father sparsokukotsky looked into the room. He whispered to Cherchen, "Cherchen, did Pedro tell you about vidava?"


    Chechen nodded and said with a smile: "speaking of it, he said he had nothing to do all day in vidava and was almost fat."


    Hearing what Chechen said, father sparsokukotsky sighed: "the deputy commander is fat, but some people are thin and skin and bones."


    Cherchen knew that father sparsokukotsky was dissatisfied with his uncle. He took the priest aside and asked the reason.


    The priest said, "Chechen, did your uncle tell you that he used Kian and Bati to manage vidava?"


    Che Chen nodded: "my uncle said he was not good at management, so he found someone who knew something. I also think professional things should be handed over to professional people."


    Hearing what Chechen said, the kind father sparsokukotsky widened his eyes. After a long time, the priest saw from Chechen''s clear eyes that Chechen didn''t know what keayan and Patty had done in vidava.


    Father spasokukotz said: "Cherchen, I know you may not be happy to hear some words, but I still want to say. In Poland, most Polish farmers have to work on the Lord''s land one day a week, which is reasonable. But now, in vidava, kiajan and Bati, in order to please your uncle and collect money for themselves, they arbitrarily increase the time to 4-5 days. Such a day In recent years, the poor farmers basically don''t have much time to take care of their land. Kiajan and Bati even forbid the farmers to leave their village, so that the farmers lose their personal freedom, are bound to the land and become serfs. "


    "How could this happen!" Chen exclaimed.


    He did not expect such a tragic thing to happen in his fief.


    Father spasokukotz said sadly: "I know you don''t believe it, but that''s the truth. Among these farmers, there are the refugees that deputy head bachit has been taking care of. Bachit also has a problem with your uncle. They have quarreled several times, but deputy head Pedro still goes his own way. Cherchen, I believe you are a kind-hearted good man, and so is Pedro. He''s just greedy for money. So I''ll tell you something, I hope you can help those farmers. "


    With these words, father sparsokukotsky shook his head again.


    Chechen took the priest''s hand.


    "Father, I''m sorry. I didn''t know my uncle would do this. I believe he did it all for me. Alas, in fact, he has made enough money. Father, don''t worry, I''ll persuade him about it. I''ll write a letter now and ask bachit to abolish the tyranny. Each farmer will only serve one day a week free of charge." Cherchen said apologetically.


    "Praise God!" spasokukotsky said excitedly.


    When Chechen told Pedro''s uncle the next day that he wanted to reduce the burden of farmers in the fief, Pedro was furious: "Which guy told me this! Am I too much? Which Lord in Poland is not like this! Is it also my fault that God arranged for us to become nobles and that they were born to be subordinates? In addition, our mercenary Corps protected them from Swedes, Prussians and bandits in vidava, and we asked them to pay more Move, is that too much! "


    Pedro complained endlessly, and Chechen suddenly felt that what his uncle said was reasonable
