However, after queen ludwiga informed Cherchen that King Jan kazimiz hoped to defeat Carl X by helping Queen Christina reset, Cherchen immediately expressed 120000 support.
Christina is her sister. Of course I want to help her.
But in his heart, Chechen also secretly feigned that the king and queen regarded themselves as villains who forget righteousness for profit? Because everything about the award with Brest was like buying yourself.
Shaking this idea out of his mind, Chechen said, "queen, and count. As long as there is a need, my wealth can be used by Queen Christina."
Alvid Wittenberg was overjoyed to hear Chechen say so. He didn''t expect that over the years, Chechen''s friendship with Christina hasn''t changed at all.
"Your Majesty has really made a good friend," thought alvid Wittenberg.
"Cherchen, on behalf of her Majesty Queen Christina, I thank you," said alvid Wittenberg, holding Cherchen''s hand.
Chechen said he didn''t dare. He said he should do it.
But suddenly, Chechen remembered something, and he frowned in embarrassment.
"Queen, count," he said to them, "I don''t lack money, but most of my men are in Ukraine, and only bakhti''s militia stay in vidava."
The combat effectiveness of the so-called militia groups in Poland is known to alvid wiedenberg. During his invasion of Poland, more than one large civilian group was defeated or annihilated by far fewer Swedish soldiers. Even once, the Swedish cavalry created an epic record of defeating thousands of Polish militia by 17 cavalry.
"I also thought of it," said queen ludwiga. "The king''s idea is to recruit mercenaries by alvid videnberg to form an army."
Mercenaries are indeed the quickest way to become an army. Chechen was the backbone of the mercenary regiment with mercenaries hired from Hesse.
In Germany, as long as you have money, in any town, as long as you cheer up, more than 20 mercenaries will jump out and be willing to serve you.
If you have money.
"Count, I now order Ingrid to withdraw 100000 tales from the Treasury for your recruitment."
As soon as Cherchen spoke, he was 100000 tales, which made queen ludwiga both happy and jealous - Cherchen''s wealth has reached such a high level, even richer than the king - will he become the next independent vassal?
Of course, this worry about queen ludwiga is now deeply hidden in her heart.
Before, in order to make Chechen willing to accept this task, Queen ludwiga even went against her original intention and handed over all Brest''s rights and interests to Chechen, not just a municipal governor. Now it''s done, even if it''s too late to regret.
The only thing that makes the queen happy is that, at least so far, Chechen is still a member of her own.
Soon, he will participate in a great cause that will determine the fate of Poland.
Then, the three held further discussions on the recruitment. The queen told them that as the winter wind and snow continued to rage, Carl X''s army was finally blocked by lubaomatsky, who was supported by Pavel Sapei''s commander. According to the Marshal''s latest letter, he said he was confident to stick to March next year. This also gave Cherchen and alvid Wittenberg three to four months to recruit mercenaries. And the Habsburg family will give them the greatest convenience.
When he learned the two good news for himself, alvid Wittenberg smiled with delight.
"Queen, please let me meet his Majesty King Jan kachmidge. I want to thank him for his generosity and generosity."
There was a look of embarrassment on Queen ludwiga''s face. But immediately, she hid the embarrassment in her smile.
"Marshal, your majesty has something important to do today. I think I might as well arrange for you to see your majesty another day," said queen ludwiga.
Alvid Wittenberg immediately bowed his thanks.
In a secret room of kazimieri palace, King Jan kazimieri, who was told by Queen ludwiga that he was dealing with important matters, was receiving the secret envoy of the new Shenluo emperor Leopold I.
The secret envoy was from Sweden. He was sent by Carl X and introduced to Leopold I by the Elector of Saxony. Leopold I then sent him to Warsaw to meet King Jan kazimiz.
Although the relationship is dazzling, there is no way.
The relationship between Swedes and poles is bad, and the hatred between the officers and soldiers of both sides is like a sea. If Carl x directly sends messengers, I''m afraid they will be killed by Polish Musketeers before they get close to the Polish outpost - even with a white flag.
Moreover, as the victorious side, if Carl x openly took the initiative to send messengers, it would also be a blow to his own morale.
However, war is the continuation of politics. Since Carl X has gained an advantage on the battlefield, diplomatic mediation is essential if he wants to convert military advantage into political and economic advantage after gaining an advantage.
Therefore, the secret envoy made so many rounds, which took a lot of twists and turns.
The conditions of Carl x brought by the secret envoy are still those two: first, Jan kazimiz completely abandoned his claim to the Swedish throne; 2、 Cede the regions of Pomerania and Livonia.
After hearing Carl X''s first article to end the war, the unknown fire in Jan kazimiz''s heart quickly rose.
This first article, Jan kazimiz, is absolutely unacceptable. The claim to the Swedish throne is an immortal dream of three generations, from Jan kazimiz''s father Sigismund III to his brother wadiswaf IV and then to himself. His brother and father did not give up their claim to the Swedish throne even in the most difficult time. How can he give up?
How can Carl X. He De be king of Sweden? Does he have his own roots? Does he have his own vasa family blood pure?
With this in mind, Jan kazimizh looked at the emissary as if he were looking at Carl X.
He''s going to cut him with a knife, cut him with a sword!
The emissary felt the fierce eyes of Jan kazimiz. He hurriedly lowered his head and dared not look at the king of Poland.
Finally, Jan kazimiz suppressed his impulse and didn''t really fight the messenger.
"I won''t agree. I will never give up my claim to the Swedish throne," said King Jan kazimiz.
In the eyes of modern people, ceding Pomerania and Livonia is the most unacceptable. But it was precisely this second article that King Jan kazimiz thought could be considered.
This is not because Jan kazimiri was unpatriotic, but because it was the mainstream thought of that era to emphasize the throne over the land. In the 17th century, although Europe experienced the enlightenment, the national consciousness of each nation-state has just awakened, and most people have not fully realized the importance of a country''s territory. Kings and nobles often valued blood and fame. As for the kings of various countries, it is normal for them to give each other land as a dowry when they marry and marry.
We have to wait until the real awakening of national consciousness and Napoleon swept Europe.
That was 150 years later.
Therefore, King Jan kazimizh believed that it was acceptable to cede Pomerania and Livonia in exchange for the end of the war. After all, in order to end the war as soon as possible, even Prussia allowed independence. Can Pomerania and Livonia be more important to the Republic than Prussia?
However, even if he thought the second article was worth considering, Jan kazimizh was not prepared to accept it. Because he finally invited Christina from Italy and was preparing to give Carl x a fatal blow from behind. How could he consider peace talks at this time?
When the emissary saw that King Jan kazimieri refused, he began to persuade him with painstaking persuasion, trying to shake Jan kazimieri''s attitude with his three inch good tongue and complete the task assigned to him by the king.
On the other side, after everything that should be said was finished, Queen ludwiga reiterated that Chechen must keep it secret before Christina arrived, and then Chechen resigned to the queen and marshal.
After Cherchen left, Queen ludwiga also sent alvid Wittenberg back to his room.
When they came to the corridor on the second floor, they accidentally met Prince boguslav.
After King Jan kachmidge pardoned boguslav, the prince moved from the palace of the imperial dining officer to kachmidge palace. Or, under house arrest.
Carl x led his army to raid Lithuania. Prince boguslav asked King Jan kachmiri for war several times and declared that he would atone for his meritorious deeds. Although King Keyan kazimiz pardoned boguslav because of the relationship between the imperial dining officer and other political considerations, he was very impressed by his betrayal in that year. The king was not sure whether Prince boguslav, a "little rebel" would jump back again now that Carl X had won the advantage again. So the king refused boguslav''s invitation to fight and let him have a good life and rest in kazimi day palace.
Prince boguslav and alvid Wittenberg are also old acquaintances. Although he was surprised that alvid Wittenberg, as a prisoner of war, was in kazimieri palace and with Queen ludwiga, the prince immediately came forward to say hello.
They can''t help but exchange greetings.
Queen ludwiga left first.
She was not worried that alvid Wittenberg would tell boguslav that the Republic would help restore Queen Christina, because it was in kazimi day palace, surrounded by his own people. Unless boguslav put on his wings, he could not go out at all.
After queen ludwiga left, alvid Wittenberg really told boguslav why he was here and why he wanted to hire mercenaries to help Christina reset.
"You come to me about this!" cried boguslav. His voice was so loud that it even attracted the eyes of two guards in the distance and a team of passing maids.
Boguslav took alvid videnbergra aside.
"Look! Although his majesty forgives me, he doesn''t trust me. Marshal lubomatsky lost the battle in Lithuania, and I hope to lead the army to support him. Even if my Mya czersk castle is close, the king just doesn''t agree. He''s worried about my mutiny again. Poor God, although Carl has won one victory after another, I can see that he is at home I can only turn my back on him. Carl is already alone. It is only a matter of time and cost for the victory of the Republic. Before, I was one with Carl because I had no way back. But now that the king pardoned me, I should say something. The ituraziweu family still has a place in the post-war Republic. Hey, who is still selling the country now Thief, being a traitor has long been unprofitable! "
After hearing boguslav''s heartfelt confession, alvid Wittenberg laughed. He did not expect Prince boguslav to be so real in front of him.
"Your Highness, you really know everything about me and say everything."
Boguslav stood up.
"Because I need your help. You need soldiers, I have. I have 20000 troops in Mya telsk fort, most of them are mercenaries. You can recruit them. Anyway, their contract with me will expire in four or five months, and I have no money to hire them any more. I can give you a warrant and ask my housekeeper Sarkozy to provide one for the queen and you It''s convenient. As long as you mention my merit in front of the king. "
Alvid Wittenberg thought about it. He thought it was faster to take the mercenaries under boguslav from Mya czersk Castle than to recruit mercenaries in Germany.
"Then I thank you on behalf of the queen," said alvid Wittenberg. "I will also speak for you in front of King Jan kachmidge."
Boguslav smiled contentedly at the promise of alvid Wittenberg.
Then boguslav asked when Queen Christina would arrive in Poland.
When he learned that Christina would arrive in two days, boguslav sighed: "Originally, I should have said something about her Majesty''s visit to miatelsk castle. After all, I apologized for her wrongdoing before. But now I''m in prison and still poor. To tell you the truth, I even have silver buttons on my clothes. And all my money has been given to the one who left just now 。”
With that, boguslav turned his head and pointed out of the window.
Alvid wiedenberg looked up and saw a carriage driving out of the kazimieri palace.
And who else can sit in the carriage except Chechen?
The beard on alvid wiedenberg''s upper lip shook - Prince boguslav had really contributed a lot to the Queen''s career this time.
