Chapter 661

    When Stanislaw pototsky saw that vikovski asked, he knew that the clerk did have the intention of reconciliation with the Republic of Poland as expected. He put forward the conditions set out by King kazimiz:


    1、 Expand the number of registered Cossacks to 20000;


    2、 Re establishment of Orthodox churches in Kiev, Bratslav and Chernigov, korzon and cherkaser regions;


    3、 The Polish army, Polish Catholic clergy and Jews are prohibited from entering Cossack controlled towns without the consent of zaporoze;


    4、 Recognize Bogdan hemelinitsky as the commander of zaporoze Cossack; (this article has no meaning because of the death of Bogdan hemelinitsky)


    5、 The patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Kiev won the seat of THAM;


    6、 Grant amnesty to all those who have participated in the rebellion (uprising), and farmers will be free when they return home;


    7、 Zaporoze Cossack commander has the right to apply to the king every year for 100 meritorious Cossacks to obtain hereditary aristocratic status, and 10 Cossacks in each team have the right to become aristocrats.


    These conditions were personally finalized by King Jan kazimiz and Stanislaw pototsky after several deliberations. Before that, only three people in the Republic of Poland knew.


    Stanislaw pototsky had kept it secret until now, and finally got it out today.


    In fact, these conditions are almost a replica of the "zporov agreement" of that year, except for the deletion of several articles and the addition of some rights.


    The "zporov agreement" of that year was unanimously opposed by Polish nobles and zaporoze Cossacks: the nobles believed that too many concessions had been given to the Cossacks and harmed their interests; The upper Cossacks felt that these concessions were inconsistent with their previous victories.


    Of course, the most dissatisfied with the agreement is the Ukrainian farmers, because their situation has hardly improved. Moreover, in order to appease the Tatars and even allow them to plunder wantonly when they return, many farmers working at home have been "legally" plundered. The farmers even think that the king and the chief betrayed them together.


    Now, King Jan kazimiz and Stanislaw pototsky are convinced that this new agreement will be recognized by the nobles, because at a time when the national strength of the Republic is weak, the Republic has not much bargaining chips with the Cossacks.


    Cherchen thought that vikovski would show dissatisfaction or surprise after seeing the agreement. He was ready to watch old Stanislaw pototsky bargain with vikovsky. I didn''t expect vikovski to cry after reading it.


    This made Chechen and Stanislaw pototsky a little overwhelmed. Chechen didn''t understand why vikovsky cried at all?


    Is it because these conditions are too unsatisfactory? At least Chechen thinks so, because there is nothing in Stanislaw pototsky''s document, like what Blair mentioned earlier.


    After vigovsky cried for a while, Chechen, on behalf of old lord Stanislaw pototsky, carefully asked, "Sir, what''s the matter with you?"


    Vikovsky raised his red eyes, looked at Stanislaw pototsky and said to Cherchen, "no, nothing. I''m crying with joy! I really didn''t expect the Republic to be so generous to us.


    Che Chen was stunned.


    "Do you really think so, Lord vigovsky?" said Stanislaw pototsky.


    The old man couldn''t believe it. The dignified Cossack clerk was moved just by the conditions.


    "Of course, of course." vikovski took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.


    He said to Stanislaw pototsky, "Sir, I think you know too. I am a nobleman of Ukraine and used to be the son of the Republic. The zporov agreement When signing, I said to Bogdan that if the agreement can be strictly observed, Ukraine will usher in permanent peace. However, but... Finally... Alas, tragedy, tragedy. "


    Just as officials of a certain country like to say "I am the son of a farmer" to arouse others'' sympathy and resonance, vikovsky''s words "I am an aristocrat of Ukraine and the son of the Republic" also moved Stanislaw pototsky, who is also an aristocrat.


    Coupled with vikovski''s usual Pro Polish attitude, the old man has no doubt about his feelings.


    Stanislaw pototsky stood up. He leaned forward and held vigovsky''s hand tightly.


    "Great, your excellency vikovski. I assure you that no one will break the agreement this time, and Ukraine and the Republic will usher in permanent peace."


    Vikovski also held the old man''s hand tightly. But he soon showed a lonely expression. He released Stanislaw pototsky''s hand and slowly sat down to his position.


    "Old man," wigowski''s shoulder trembled.


    "When the chief died, he passed his position to his son, Yuri hemelinitsky. You may not know that Yuri was young and not sensible. Now everything is up to Popovich. Popovich hopes to rely on the Swedes to seek the power of the Cossacks. Unfortunately, people like Swedish ambassador Magnus are fueling the fire around him. I Although he is the clerk of the emirate, there are few people now. I will take this treaty to Yuri and Popovich, but I can''t guarantee whether they will agree with me. "


    With that, vikovski turned around, and he burst into tears again.


    When Che Chen saw the Cossack clerk who was so worried about the country and the people but could do nothing, his eyes couldn''t help showing sympathy.


    Cherchen can only sympathize, but Stanislaw pototsky can help vikovsky with practical actions.


    "Your Excellency vikovski," Stanislaw pototsky finally tempted, "are you 100% going to agree to this treaty?"


    "Of course, there is no doubt about it," vikovsky vowed. But immediately, he was like a frustrated ball.


    "But what''s the use?" he said dejectedly.


    "Of course it''s useful." after receiving vikovski''s reassurance, the old man even said a little blatantly: "the Cossack tradition is that the great chief is elected, and khmelinitsky obviously violates this principle. I saw a lot of Cossacks in front of Baohong''s house, who share the same idea and are dissatisfied with Popovich''s dictatorship."


    There was a frightened expression on vigovsky''s face, but he did not refute or deny it.


    Vikovsky''s attitude made Stanislaw pototsky more confident.
