When aluxia was daydreaming, Natalie, who had finished dancing and sat watching aluxia and mihaw dance, reminded Cherchen, "Cherchen, you should go down and dance with them. Don''t forget that you are the host of today''s party."
Chechen''s face showed an embarrassed look. Because he didn''t know anyone except the little knight and Henrik pototsky. What''s more, everyone jumped out a slang or vernacular from time to time. Although Cherchen has been in Poland for five years, he can only speak Polish but is not proficient in it.
But looking at Natalie''s hopeful eyes, he had to stand up and walk into the dance floor.
After a little thought, Chechen said to the band, "play me a Krakow dance!"
The leader of the band nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then played immediately.
Che Chen beat with his feet. He held his hands flat on his chest, raised his head and sang in a loud voice: "the clear spring flows slowly and pours into the Dniester river. So do I, ah! Girl, my heart pours on you! Wu ha!"
He glanced at Natalie and then yelled, "uhhuh!"
Then, Chechen squatted down and danced a kick dance. It''s all Cossack again.
The people around looked at Chechen and were stunned. Because the dance music of Cossacks is not on the table in the high-level aristocratic circle of Poland, and only the aristocrats in the border areas will dance this vulgar dance.
Seeing that Chechen was inadvertently ugly, the little Knight hurried to remind him, but his arm was pulled by aluxia.
"His wife will remind him why you should do it?"
Mihau''s feet were fixed there.
Watching Chechen dancing more and more happily, Natalie''s face became more and more ugly. She seemed to see the disdain and disdain on the faces of several guests.
A dance wasted all her efforts.
"Stop!" Natalie couldn''t help shouting.
The band stopped playing and everyone looked at Natalie. At this time, Chechen jumped with sweat, but he was full of interest. He didn''t know that he had annoyed his wife.
"Everybody," said Natalie with a smile on her face, "I''m not feeling well. I need to go up and have a rest."
As soon as Natalie''s voice fell, Chechen immediately ran to his wife and asked, "Natalie, what''s wrong with you?"
Seeing her husband''s concern, Natalie couldn''t even scold him.
"You help me up," Natalie said.
Then, as she walked, she apologized to the visitors: "poor reception, wanwang Haihan."
When she got upstairs, Natalie shook off Cherchen and held her hand. She looked at Cherchen with angry eyes and said, "who told you to dance that kind of dance?"
Chechen still looked like he didn''t know why. He explained: "no one called. When I marched and fought in Ukraine and Crimea, everyone would come to this song after camping."
Natalie looked defeated by Chechen.
"Do you know that this kind of dance is regarded as a hick dance in Warsaw and will be laughed at by people. Now I don''t know what these guests downstairs are doing to laugh at you! Some of them will be your subordinates in the future. Your prestige is ruined now. How do you lead them in the future?"
Natalie was anxious to leak out her plans in the future.
"Lead them? Why should I lead them? Now I don''t lack people here."
Chechen was a little confused. He thought that there was no vacancy in the number of officers, whether it was the original mercenary regiment or Bratslav''s Cossack team.
Now that she had said it, Natalie simply told the whole story of her plan.
In short, among the people who came here tonight were Henrik pototsky and Mikhail vorodjavsky, and Natalie was interested in recruiting Cherchen''s team to replace the original officers. Moreover, the original Swedish style military system of the mercenary regiment should also be changed to Polish style. The number of infantry should be reduced, the size of cavalry should be expanded, and wing cavalry units of three to four companies should be formed.
In short, it is to get rid of the fetal soul bone up and down.
Moreover, this army will become part of the new army formed by the king in the future.
Chechen was shocked by Natalie''s idea. He didn''t expect Natalie to have such a big plan from herself.
Immediately, Che Chen was very angry.
Yelishei and fedott are their own great partners. They almost follow themselves from the beginning when they have nothing. Everyone has both happiness and difficulties. Now that he has become famous, but his wife wants to kick them away, how can he make such an ungrateful move!
What''s more, why should I pay and contribute to train the army for the king!
"So, how are you going to arrange yelishei and them?" Chechen asked angrily.
Now, the reason why he can''t swear is just because he cares about Natalie''s baby.
"They will also be the chief officer of the army for a period of time, because it will take time for new officers to take over the army, and the purchase of new equipment and personnel training will not be achieved overnight. When the transition period is over, people with professional talents such as Ingrid and salben can stay in the territory to take care of finance, taxation and medical treatment for you. As for yelishei, you will grant them a grange And land, they can spend their lives in the manor. "
Natalie said everything, which made Cherchen realize that his wife was not on a whim.
Taking a deep breath, Chechen suppressed his anger. He said to Natalie in the most peaceful tone he could use now: "Natalie, I don''t object if you want to bring some fresh blood to my army. But I don''t agree with the plan to increase the winged cavalry. I admit that the winged cavalry of the Republic is a very powerful assault cavalry, but it is too expensive and has fallen behind the times in cost performance. With the money of one winged cavalry, I can hire ten or twenty infantry, and these infantry only rely on reasonable resources Tactics, firm morale and discipline, coupled with targeted fortifications, can greatly resolve the terrible offensive of the winged cavalry. This is proved by the battle of Warsaw in 1656 and the battle of Genev commanded by Gustav, Christina''s sister''s father. "
Che Chen used "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" He knew that refusing Natalie directly would only lead to a fierce quarrel between the two, so he skipped the core of the problem and persuaded Natalie to give up the idea of replacing yelishei and others from a military perspective. He also knew that the Polish nobles were proud. The Republic has always had a tradition of emphasizing cavalry over infantry. The nobles would rather be an ordinary cavalry in the cavalry than a soldier This is one of the reasons why mercenaries are popular in the Republic of Poland. As long as the traditional Swedish military system dominated by infantry of the mercenary regiment is preserved, even if officers enter the mercenary regiment, they can''t shake the status of yelishei and others.
After listening to Chechen''s words, Natalie really showed a thoughtful expression. But after a while, Natalie shook her head hard.
"No, Chechen, you''re not right. The winged cavalry are invincible, and their lances can''t be stopped by any enemy. In those battles, the winged cavalry certainly failed, but they faced many more enemies than themselves, and the terrain and firepower were not dominant. But if both sides opened their positions and fought on the plain, the winged cavalry would never fail. Besides You can give examples of the second Warsaw battle and the battle of Genev, and I can also give examples of the combat power of the winged cavalry. "
Chechen didn''t expect Natalie to be so stubborn. He was speechless.
Natalie added: "they are excellent soldiers, but as earls of Poland, they are not suitable for you. Ask, apart from traitors like bogusslav, which Polish nobleman has all foreign officers under his command, and which army uses foreign military systems and training methods?"
"Father sparsokukotsky is polish," Chechen joked deliberately.
Natalie looked at Cherchen with a serious face.
"Cherchen, don''t change the subject, because it''s useless. Since we''ve talked about it, let''s have a good talk. The little nobleman of Brest sent representatives to me more than once. They asked me to replace Ingrid, because she is a Swede and a woman. They think it''s disgraceful to let Ingrid be a tax official."
Che Chen was very angry and smiled back this time.
"OK, OK. I will repay these poor people and those who framed them for their kindness! Ingrid is not suitable there? Does she exploit profits or impose heavy taxes? Just because she is a woman and a Swede? Ingrid is among those who fought for the Republic of Poland and died in Crimea. Where are those poor people? I''m afraid she is buried in her mother-in-law."
"Chechen!" Natalie shouted. He didn''t expect that Chechen would say such vulgar words in front of his own face.
Chechen''s eyes are sparking, and the blood of the kishka family is boiling on the girl.
After a while, Chechen finally couldn''t control himself. He shouted to Natalie, "in a word, I won''t abolish yelishei, and I won''t let these officers downstairs enter my army, and I won''t train the army for the king for free."
Natalie''s little face turned white, and she stared at Cherchen.
At this time, she was more determined to stay away from those foreigners.
She also gave an ultimatum: "Your Excellency must choose between me and them. There is no other way out!"
Che Chen said firmly: "I don''t have any choice. I have you and them! Natalie, you should understand what it means to fight under the same flag and stand the test of war together... No blood relationship can be compared with the feelings of my comrades in the trenches. You know, they have saved my life more than a thousand times, and I have saved their lives; now that I am successful, I should give it more They have a family. Besides, they are excellent soldiers. I can''t live without them. "
"Then I have nothing to say." Natalie turned her head to the wall.
Both of them were silent, and the silence enveloped the room. All they heard was Cherchen''s heavy breathing and Natalie''s low sobbing.
Chechen doesn''t know what he should do. He got up and hurried up and down the aisle, while she stood motionless. Hanging over their heads were discord, anger and sadness.
Che Chen felt depressed and his heart was heavy. In this long silence, he felt more and more unbearable.
"Don''t worry," said Chechen, biting his teeth.
With that, he tried to leave.
"Go, my husband. May God call you in another way!" Natalie answered without looking back.
"I''m leaving now! Because I can''t taste sweetness here, only bitter drinks and bread!"
Chechen walked downstairs. When his eyes were about to be lost by the floor, he forgot to look at Natalie. Natalie was holding the wall with one hand and holding her abdomen with the other hand, as if in abnormal pain.
Chechen rushed up the stairs and came to Natalie. He grabbed Natalie''s shoulders and let her sit down.
"God!" Chechen asked anxiously, "Natalie, what''s the matter with you? Come on, come on! Where''s the maid? Where''s the servant? Where have you all gone?"
Chechen was in a hurry, and Natalie began to cry.
Tenderness once again occupied Chechen''s body and mind. He put his arms around her and held the shivering girl in his arms. At the same time, he squeezed such a sentence out of his teeth: "Let''s make peace, Natalie... Let''s make peace... I''ll recruit these officers, I''ll form a company of winged cavalry, and I''ll provide troops for the king... Because I love you... God! Look, you''ve broken my heart... But you have to pity me and let yelishei and them stay... Promise me? As long as we still love each other..."
Hearing Cherchen''s heartfelt words, Natalie finally compromised.
"Well, I promise you, too. But yelishei, they can''t stay in Warsaw or Brest. Let them go to Bratslav and vidava and let uncle Pedro take care of them."
"I promise, I promise." Chechen replied hurriedly.
Although vidava and Bratslav are far away from Warsaw and Brest, after all, their companions have not left their team, and Cherchen is still acceptable for such a result.
Seeing that Cherchen agreed, Natalie showed a happy smile.
"Help me up. We''ve been upstairs for so long. People downstairs should wait and worry. I don''t know if the quarrel between us just now has spread below. Later, you should talk to those officers and win their respect and goodwill."
With that, Natalie propped herself up against the wall.
Che Chen said anxiously, "Natalie, you''d better go back and rest, your body..."
"I''m not that vulnerable," Natalie refused.
Then, with the help of Chechen, Natalie went downstairs.
In the dark part of the corridor, a figure came out slowly.
The shadow held a book in her hand. She looked at Natalie''s back with resentful eyes.
"Natalie kishka, I didn''t expect you to be such a person. I really misunderstood you," said the shadow.
As the shadow came out of the darkness to the light, the man was Fatima.
