After the security of Riga was stable, Chechen returned to the troop carrier. He personally untied victor and the Duke of ovshane.
Victor moved his wrist and said nothing, while the Duke of ovshane glared at Cherchen. He shouted excitedly: "count, do you know what you did! Do you want to destroy Poland?"
"I never wanted to destroy Poland," Chechen countered in a deep voice. "On the contrary, after gaining the right of nobility, I have regarded Poland as my mother."
The Duke of ovshane snorted coldly. He seemed to laugh at Cherchen''s disagreement.
Cherchen ignored the ridicule of the Duke of ovshane. He turned his face to victor and said, "Uncle Victor, Her Majesty Queen Christina has occupied Riga. From here on, she will launch a formal challenge to Carl X. I believe she will win, and your Majesty must believe."
Victor nodded.
"Then, Cherchen, is there anything else you want me to convey to your majesty?" he asked.
Cherchen just meant this. He said, "I hope you will truthfully tell King Jan kachmidge what happened last night and tell the parliament that until we defeat Carl X and sister Christina ascends the throne again, her commitment to Poland will remain."
"I''ll tell you the truth," Victor promised.
Then he hesitated, and then he couldn''t help asking, "and, Chechen, do you have anything you want me to bring to your family, such as Natalie''s?"
Che Chen thought for a moment and said, "please tell Natalie: don''t blame me."
Victor and the Duke of ovshane got on the boat back to Poland. The news they bring back is bound to cause an uproar in the Warsaw Parliament.
Cherchen may be deprived of all titles, titles, official positions and fiefs, and will be labeled as a traitor. Natalie may also be implicated, but Cherchen, who took the first step in the flood, has no time to take care of it.
All he has to do now is work hard to help Christina''s sister defeat the God of war cousin.
In the governor''s office of Riga, after successfully persuading Magnus to surrender, alvid wiedenberg suggested that Christina immediately convene a temporary special parliament to recruit troops and expand her strength.
In the kingdom of Sweden, in addition to the use of standing armies and mercenaries, the king''s conscription must be approved by Parliament. In parliament, the king must explain the legitimacy of the purpose of recruitment and the specific implementation measures of recruitment. On this basis, the royal family, farmers and citizens'' representatives will agree on the number of people to be recruited each time, the scope of recruitment and any specific laws and regulations applicable to the management of the recruitment.
Although such consultations are usually held in parliament, Royal representatives will also negotiate directly with representatives of specific regions and draw up the details of recruitment based on some permitted precedents or special circumstances.
Alvid wiedenberg believes that this is the special situation. Christina can only convene representatives of citizens, parliamentarians and bishops in Riga to form a conscription Committee.
The reason why the conscription will invite bishop Riga is that in Sweden, priests play a very important role in the conscription process. As a domestic intellectual group, they are often the first person in the community to learn the specific details of the recruitment order from the church. At the same time, they are also the key figures to publicize the legitimacy of the Royal recruitment order through preaching. They are the communication channel between the royal family and local communities.
In addition, since every newborn must be baptized at birth, the list of all school-age men in the parish drafted by these priests is also the basic document for military service recruitment.
However, Christina immediately rejected the proposal to recruit a civilian army in Riga.
The Queen''s view is that since her slogan is to stop the war, the recruitment of the people''s army in Riga is obviously contrary to this original intention. Moreover, Carl has been militaristic for many years, and nine out of ten young men of school age in Sweden have already been recruited. Even if he holds a temporary special parliament in Riga, the number of people''s forces that can be recruited is a drop in the bucket.
These points put forward by Christina are very dismissive to alvid wiedenberg, who does anything to achieve his goal. Although the age of conscription in the kingdom of Sweden is between 15-60 years old, the general King''s army will only choose men between 18-45 years old, and the only son of a family is exempted from military service. In other words, in the countryside of Sweden, at least men aged 15-18 and 45-60 have not been recruited. These people can just become the Queen''s warriors. Moreover, Her Majesty''s crusade against Carl x is to stop the war and for all the people in the kingdom of Sweden, so these beneficiaries should give their strength, not just enjoy their success.
"Your Majesty," said alvid Wittenberg, bowing and lying: "It is not just my idea to convene a temporary special parliament to collect the people''s army, but the consensus of all people. The president of Riga''s parliament and the bishop are all willing to contribute to the Queen''s cause. Even the representatives of the farmers have received more than one invitation to fight. They are highly motivated to go to the battlefield to fight against the puppet king for your majesty. You are totally dissatisfied With a trace of psychological burden. "
Of course, none of what Wittenberg said was true except the last sentence, but he was sure that he could make those words a reality.
be at sb.''s mercy.
Wittenberg did not believe that those people could say or dare to say a "no".
But Christina was surprisingly stubborn this time.
"No, alvid." Christina shook her head firmly. "I know what you want to do and that you are for my good. But please don''t do that this time. Carl and I are fighting a war of morality and justice. I just want to fight with my ideas, even if I fail."
Looking at Christina''s determined face, it seemed as if alvid Wittenberg had returned to the time when the queen ascended the throne in her childhood. Christina showed the same expression when she learned that her father, King Gustav, had died unexpectedly in the war.
Alvid Wittenberg fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty," said alvid Wittenberg, with tears in his eyes, "the old minister must be standing by you anyway."
At this time, Chechen happened to come in. He is one of Christina''s most trusted people, and the guard at the door certainly won''t stop him.
When he saw this scene, although he didn''t know what had happened, Chechen still said firmly, "me too."
