Seeing that everyone was persuaded, Chechen announced the sequence of the expedition.


    As for the mercenary regiment, all combatants and medical personnel, such as Pedro, bakhte, father sparsokukotsky, fedot, Xie Miao, viscount Hessen, yelishei, salben and warwarwarra, led 200 Germanic long gunners and 100 newly recruited German double handed swordsmen.


    Bratslav Cossacks: dimosev and jamid Popovich led 2500 Cossacks to the battle.


    Natalie, Fatima, Blair, dimosev, Ingrid and other personnel stayed.


    The mercenary regiment sent only 300 soldiers this time. It''s not that Cherchen was partial to his old subordinates and deliberately let the Cossacks be cannon fodder. The real reason is that in addition to the 300 people brought by Pedro from vidava, there are only more than 100 Hessian cavalry soldiers in Bratslav.


    This is also a deliberate move by Cherchen to calm the hearts of blazlav Cossacks and worry that too many mercenary soldiers will make Cossacks feel like they are taking the lead.


    When Natalie heard that her name was on the left behind list, her face clearly showed her objection.


    At the meeting, she didn''t say anything to maintain Chechen''s authority, but when the meeting was over, she immediately stopped Chechen.


    "Honey, I''m going to konotop with you," Natalie said firmly.


    Che Chen holds Natalie''s rouyi. Of course, he knows Natalie''s determination to live and die with herself, and that Natalie is not afraid of death.


    "No," said Chechen firmly shaking his head, "you should stay here."


    Natalie wanted to talk, but Chechen blocked Natalie''s lips with his fingers.


    "Natalie, you have to stay," said Cherchen in an adult, master tone: "Bratslav''s Cossacks are subject to me, but if I''m gone, some of them will make some moths, just like when brother Bao Hong died. At that time, uncle Blair alone can''t suppress it. You''re my wife and you have the courage of a knight. It''s dangerous to get along with the Cossacks here , but I''m sure you can handle it. Promise me to watch blazlav for me. "


    Natalie threw herself into Cherchen''s arms.


    "Is blatzlav so important in your heart?"


    "No, I don''t care about Bratslav, it''s Bogong. I vowed to inherit his father''s inheritance when he grew up, so I must guard here."


    Speaking of this, Chechen realized that his tone was too heavy, like making a will and Tuogu. Although he smiled and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Don''t worry, the bullet that can kill me hasn''t been made yet! Besides, I''ve seen the ability of the Russians to attack the city. In Smolensk, Prince Alexei had no choice but to take Smolensk even if he got the help of the Cossacks and used all kinds of means to attack the city. I knew their means, so I expected to hold konotop for two months It''s not difficult. "


    Natalie seemed to believe Chechen''s words. She looked into Chechen''s eyes and said, "promise me to come back alive."


    "Sure!"


    Like Natalie, what she didn''t say at the meeting but had to say to Chechen alone was his uncle Pedro.


    That night, Pedro called Chechen out in the name of drinking.


    On the balcony, feeling the cold wind blowing slightly from the Dniester River, Pedro handed a bottle of honey wine to Cherchen.


    "In fact, you don''t have to listen to vikovski." Pedro said: "you are now the leader of Bratslav''s team, holding 10000 elite soldiers. Even if you don''t go to konotop, what can vikovski do to you? He can''t even do to the rebellious Ivan hilko."


    Seeing that uncle Pedro meant this, Chechen smiled bitterly. He told Pedro the secret order of King Jan kazimiz conveyed by vikovski''s acquiescence to get rid of Pavlo tetria and Henrik pototsky.


    "I can sit in the position of regiment captain, which seems to be based on supporting konotop," Chechen said finally.


    After listening, Pedro poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.


    "I''ll tell you why Natalie didn''t stop you at the meeting. The king was involved in it."


    "Natalie should just support me." Chechen argued for Natalie.


    I don''t know if Pedro listened to this. At this time, he looked at the moonlight and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "you know, dear nephew, since you killed Yakov cherkaski, a big stone in uncle''s heart has fallen to the ground."


    "Me too," said Chechen.


    Pedro smiled and looked at Chechen. His eyes were full of warm feelings of licking calves.


    Pedro continued: "If you get revenge, uncle, there is only one goal now - that is to expand the branch of our aleval family in Poland and make our family flourish and prosperous. You have indeed achieved the latter: the governor of brazlav, such a prominent official position, which is a position that many dignitaries can''t reach; I''m afraid there are even ten thousand Cossacks The soldiers directly under King Jan kazimiz are not as many as you; plus your wife Natalie''s kishka family, in time, you may say the second Jan zamoyski. "


    The Jan zamoyski mentioned by Pedro is the ancestor of Jan zamoyski who robbed Jan sobeski''s sweetheart. He was just an ordinary nobleman, with only a few villages on his land. However, with the reward as King Stefan bartore''s adviser and military commander, Jan zamoyski quickly became the leading aristocratic giant in the Republic of Poland at that time. His name has taxes from 11 cities and more than 200 villages, and the cultivated land area of his labor manor has reached 6445 square kilometers.


    6445 square kilometers. What''s the concept? The total area of Cyprus island in the Mediterranean is only 9250 square kilometers.


    For uncle Pedro''s comparison with Jan zamoyski, Chechen said he didn''t dare.


    Pedro didn''t care about Chechen''s modesty. He took another sip of wine - at this time, he was already drunk and flushed.


    "So, I thought that with so many, you should not be in danger every time. Wouldn''t it be better to run the territory and spread branches and leaves at home? It''s up to yelishei and them to fight. Anyway, they can be alone now. But now it seems that it''s not enough not to go to konotop."


    Chechen didn''t expect uncle Pedro to think so.


    "Then, dear uncle, why don''t I leave you in Bratslav. You marry another wife and spread the leaves for the family."


    Pedro glared at Cherchen.


    "That''s even worse! As the saying goes, you can''t handle things well without hair. If you have to face 60000 Russians alone and let your uncle worry about you every day in Bratslav, I can''t do it! We''ll turn it upside down. It''s almost the same if you leave me."


    With that, Pedro looked at the starry night sky again.


    "But after this time, you really have to listen to your uncle, manage your territory well, breed children, and stop living and dying. I once counted your life - according to the Polish custom: I caught a cuckoo, and then asked her how many children you would have in the future. The tuojiula immediately cried, and cried twelve times in a row." (according to polish folklore, the cuckoo is changed by a girl named zajura. The cuckoo can predict people''s marriage, life expectancy, good and bad luck.)


    "I listen to you, dear uncle." Chechen answered.
