Chapter 582

    When they heard Victor say he was going to be executed by the Tatars, even though Cherchen and others knew that since Victor could stand here now, he must have turned a corner, but they still sweated for him. Chechen was even more ashamed, because those Tatars came to Poland just because of themselves. In a sense, he was also the one who destroyed Victor''s life.


    Victor didn''t know that Chechen turned these thoughts. He went on telling his story.


    As victor was to be executed in public, the chief of the Tatars also arrived. But when he saw the sign of the mercenary regiment on Victor''s coat, the Tatar Officer immediately asked someone to put Victor down. Because in Crimea, he had seen the same sign and fought side by side with the mercenary regiment with this sign.


    "Later I learned that the Tatar officer was called the sea. And you went to Crimea," said Victor.


    It''s the sea! Today, there are too many things that surprise and sigh for Cherchen and others. If the Tatars brought by Cherchen for Poland destroyed Victor''s life, the emergence of the sea saved Victor''s life.


    It''s true that every drink and peck has a definite number.


    After learning that Victor was indeed a member of Chechen''s mercenary regiment, Victor''s wife and daughter were released from the seahorse. Of course, Prussia could not go back, and Victor followed Nahai and others to Lvov.


    In Lvov, Victor was received by King Jan kazimiz. After learning that Victor was an excellent officer, King Jan kazimiz strongly invited Victor to work for himself.


    After so many things in the world, Victor understood that it was impossible to live safely in troubled times. Holding a hoe and sickle could not protect his family. Only guns and sabers could do it.


    So Victor accepted the invitation of King Jan kazimiz and became an officer of the Republic.


    In 1657, John II lakoch, Archduke of Transylvania, formed an alliance with Sweden Cossack and sent 25000 troops to invade Poland from the southwest. Victor joined marshal lubomatsky''s army and fought with the aggressors with the commander-in-chief of charnietsky.


    "So Victor, why did you suddenly come to Crimea?"


    After listening to Victor''s story, Chechen asked strangely.


    "Captain Chechen," said Victor in a serious and formal tone. Obviously, what he wants to say is not his own meaning, but a paraphrase.


    "Your Majesty greatly appreciates your achievements in Crimea. Now your mission in Crimea has been completed. Your Majesty King Jan kazimiz wants you to return home immediately."


    "Return home!" Pedro and others present said in surprise.


    "Yes, back home," Victor repeated.


    Then she took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Cherchen.


    "This is a letter from his majesty," said Victor. "Your Majesty wants me to give it to you. You will understand after reading it."


    Cherchen received the letter. He tore open the seal and opened the letter to read.


    The first page of the letter was the lengthy title of King Jan kazimiz, and Chechen jumped directly over.


    On the second page, King Jan kazimiz first wrote about the war between the Republic and the kingdom of Sweden, against the Cossacks of zaporoze and their new ally, John II lakoch, Archduke of Transylvania. Then king Jan kazimizh highly praised Cherchen and his mercenary regiment for their achievements in Crimea. Moreover, it was precisely because of the attack of Muhammad gley supported by Cherchen on the southern border of tsarist Russia that the Republic of Poland was able to transfer the troops confronting tsarist Russia on the eastern front to the western line, so as to achieve a series of victories with superior forces.


    These words of King Jan kazimiz are not empty words.


    In fact, it was precisely because of the newly added 10000 new troops that the general army of charnietsky successfully thwarted Carl X''s attempt to march to Lvov and destroy the last logistics base of the Republic of Poland, and eliminated 2000 Swedish troops in this war.


    And because the defeat of the battle had been harassed by the Polish guerrillas, the Swedish army on Cherchen''s way complained endlessly. At this time, God also stood on the side of the Republic. In recent days, there were heavy rains, a large number of non combat attrition in the Swedish army, and typhoid and cold were prevalent in the military camp. Because there were so many wounded, a large number of combatants had to act as stretcher teams, which further dragged down the marching speed and the combat effectiveness of the Swedish army.


    On March 15, 1657, when Cherchen and his men were fighting in the area of cherkesk, Carl x, who was retreating, was finally surrounded by more than 10000 Republic troops at the intersection of the San River and the Vistula River, and more and more polish volunteers came. As a last resort, Carl x left the wounded and retreated alone. 300 Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry dismounted and rowed across the river. They quickly wiped out a Polish dragon cavalry on the opposite bank, opening the gap, and then more Swiss troops crossed the river.


    Carl x successfully retreated, but all the more than 1200 heavy and heavy wounded left on the other side died under the knife of the Polish army.


    When Karl x finally withdrew to Warsaw on April 5, there were only more than 3000 Swedish troops under his command.


    On the third page of the letter, King Jan kazimiz wrote that in the second half of 1657, the Polish army would launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Swedish army and its allies. He hoped that Cherchen and his mercenary regiment could participate in the final stage of this magnificent war and establish another honor for the Republic and themselves.


    On the fourth page of the letter, King Jan kazimiz did not forget to mention his original commitment to Chechen. He said that he had submitted the matter of Brest fortress as a reward to Cherchen to parliament, which would soon agree to the proposal. When Chechen returns to Poland, he will be Lord of Brest.


    The promise of King Jan kazimiz undoubtedly delighted Cherchen.


    Cherchen''s joy was seen by the public. Pedro gathered behind Cherchen and squinted at the letter in Cherchen''s hand.


    When he saw King Jan kazimiz saying that when Chechen returned to Poland, he would be the Lord of Brest, Pedro''s smiling face was wrinkled.


    "What a loving and faithful king!" exclaimed Pedro. "May he always be healthy and live forever."


    When they heard that their leader was about to become the great lord of the Christian country, they were very happy for Chechen, and they congratulated Chechen one after another.
