Cherchen was ready to go to Sweden with Queen Christina, but the arrival of an uninvited guest almost disrupted his plan.


    This man is marshal lubaumatsky.


    Chechen was shocked by the arrival of Marshal lubaumatsky. Because at this moment, the marshal should have taken refuge in the Holy Roman Empire.


    Marshal lubaomatsky didn''t seem surprised by Chechen''s shock. He smiled at Chechen and said, "Chechen, long time no see."


    Chechen reacted. He saluted lubaumatsky, then turned sideways and invited the marshal into the house.


    "Marshal, I didn''t expect it was you." Chechen said respectfully.


    Lubaumatsky looked into the hall. Then he took off his wide brimmed hat and cloak and handed them to the two attendants behind him.


    As soon as they entered the house, the two attendants looked around with vigilant eyes. At a glance, they were the Marshal''s escort.


    Chechen asked the marshal to sit down, and he sat opposite the marshal.


    After sitting down, neither of them spoke for a moment.


    For Cherchen, he knows very well that as a wanted criminal of the Republic, lubaomatsky sneaked into Poland alone and came to see himself. He must have a great purpose or ask for himself. But now he just wants to get rid of the disturbance in Poland and doesn''t want to get involved in the struggle between the king and the marshal.


    LV baomazi basically wanted to wait for Cherchen to ask his intention first. At this time, seeing that Cherchen didn''t speak, he had to open his mouth first.


    "Cherchen, I am very grateful to you for your outspoken advice when I was persecuted by some people with evil intentions," said lubaomatsky.


    "Marshal flattered me. I just did what an honest man would do." Chechen replied carefully.


    Lubaumatsky nodded. He sighed, and then complained for Che Chen: "it''s a pity that your majesty rejected loyal and good people and appointed crafty and cunning people for his own selfish desires. You just said a few good words for me and were punished by seclusion."


    "Coming." Chechen thought to himself.


    He was vaguely aware that the marshal was about to say what he was looking for tonight.


    Lubaumatsky said and stood up. He remembered from Chechen that he had lost all his honor and property and was forced to flee abroad. The Marshal''s face flushed with anger, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.


    The marshal was like an angry lion. He walked around the living room and said loudly: "I meant to spend my remaining life abroad. Although the king lost to me, he was the monarch of the Republic and the father of all the nobles. However, more and more nobles wrote to me about the king''s perverse acts at home. He violated the treaty and attacked the good. The kind nobles only washed their faces with tears and stretched out their hands to heaven, looking forward to God''s grace, because of the king''s grace They are not qualified to accept it. They begged me again and again, begged me to return home to preside over the overall situation and lead them to set things right. I promised them that although the crime against the king would lead me to hell after death, the Republic is my mother, and I can''t let my mother be destroyed in my father''s hands. "


    With that, LV baomatsky looked at Cherchen with bright eyes.


    "Aleval Chechen, you are my reliable friend. I hope you will join our noble alliance and be a hero to save the Republic."


    The so-called aristocratic alliance is a political association established by aristocrats, clergy, City Council or army in the Republic of Poland. It was first a self-defense organization that several cities united against rampant bandits, and later evolved into a political alliance.


    The aristocratic alliance aims at the necessary moment (e.g. vacancy period) Protect the government and national security. For example, the deputy commander of Lithuania Pavel sapega and the great aristocrat lantzkoronsky established an aristocratic alliance during the Swedish invasion of Poland. The purpose of this alliance is to unite all federal aristocrats who are unwilling to yield to the rule of the Swedes to fight together and express their loyalty to the monarchs in exile.


    However, the role of the aristocratic alliance is not always so just. The purpose of some alliances is to launch a legal rebellion against the "illegal" behavior of the king. This is similar to the Qing Dynasty in ancient China, but unlike the Chinese who only beat the treacherous officials but not the emperor, the goal of the legal rebellion of the Polish aristocracy is directly directed at the king himself.


    For example, in 1606, the rebellion launched by the aristocratic alliance initiated by the great nobles mikowai zebdowski, Jan szczesny Herbert, Stanislaw stadniski, Alexander Joseph lisowski and Jan woods razville resulted from their dissatisfaction with Sigismund III''s efforts to strengthen the kingship. They had violated the king''s rule Under the pretext of the Henry treaty, Sigmund III was required to abide by the treaty by force, and also proposed to expel the Jesuit from the Republic; the house of representatives appointed state officials rather than the king; local officials should be elected rather than appointed by local elections; expanding the protection of Protestants and enhancing their rights.


    The purpose of the aristocratic alliance established by lubaomatsky is obviously the latter.


    He wanted to use force to coerce King Jan kazimiz to give up reform and restore his power and status.


    Since it is necessary to use force, lubaomatsky must have more powerful force than the reformists. The new royal army under the command of King Jan kazimizh has 20000 people, as well as famous generals such as Stefan charnietsky, Stanislaw pototsky and Jan sobeski. Although the number of lubaomatsky''s supporters and his own private army is no less than that of the king''s army However, it was inferior in quality and commander''s quality. Therefore, lubaomatsky came all the way to vidava to seek Cherchen''s membership.


    But Chechen had already decided not to be involved in political struggle.


    What''s more, his wife Natalie is a firm reformer. Do you want to fight with her on the battlefield?


    "Sorry, marshal."


    "I''m sorry, your excellency lubaumatsky."


    When Cherchen refused, Queen Christina went out accompanied by Carlson and Pedro.


    Seeing the sudden arrival of "outsiders", LV baomatsky''s two guards put their hands on the sword around their waist with vigilance.


    "It''s your Majesty the Regent. I didn''t expect you to be here," lubaumatsky saluted Christina.


    Christina smiled and saluted.


    She said, "Your Excellency lubomatsky, aleval Cherchen has accepted my invitation to go to Sweden and become governor of Riga. Therefore, he can only refuse your kindness."


    LV baomatsky looked at Cherchen and saw that Cherchen did not refute Christina''s statement.


    He is a sensible man. He knows that if Queen Christina says that Chechen has no objection, then Chechen will certainly not stand on his side.


    Lubaumatsky''s dignity prevented him from being forced to be shameless.


    "In that case," Lv baomatsky said with a smile, "aleval Chechen, I wish you a prosperous future in the kingdom of Sweden. You are a foreigner, you can freely choose the object of loyalty, but I can''t. I am the son of the Republic, and I can only choose to fight for the Republic."


    "Marshal."


    Listening to lubaomatsky''s generous and sad words, Cherchen was a little sad. But he held out a hand and held it with lubaumatsky''s hand.


    "God bless you."


    "Bless you too."


    With his hands separated, lubaomatsky took over the wide brimmed hat and cloak handed over by the guard and left.


    Cherchen, Christina and Pedro took lubaumatsky to the door and watched him leave.


    Looking at the carriage going away, Pedro suddenly said to Chechen, "my nephew, I''ll lead a team to send the marshal. He is a wanted criminal of the king. We can''t tell if something happens in vidawadi or he''s arrested."


    Chechen thought that uncle Pedro''s words were also reasonable, so he asked him to lead 30 cavalry to escort LV baomatsky.


    Pedro quickly gathered up his men and horses. He rode away with thirty.


    LV baomatsky''s carriage was walking slowly on the avenue of vidava. He heard the rapid sound of Horseshoes behind him, so he asked what was happening behind the guard.


    The guard told him that it was Chechen''s uncle Pedro who came with a team of cavalry.


    Lubaomatsky''s heart lit up hope - he thought that Cherchen had changed his mind and was ready to join his aristocratic alliance.


    So lubaumatsky ordered the coachman to slow down and wait for Pedro''s arrival.


    Soon pedro arrived at the carriage.


    He said to LV baomatsky in the car through the window: "marshal, my nephew is worried that the road is not peaceful. Let me escort you."


    After listening to Pedro''s words, lubaumatsky was somewhat disappointed. But he said calmly, "thank you."


    So, the thirty cavalry brought by Pedro were on both sides of the carriage, escorting LV baomatsky forward, while Pedro smashed beside the carriage and spoke to LV baomatsky in the carriage from time to time.


    "Marshal, if only you had come here during the day. Then you could see a thriving look. Under the governance of our uncle and nephew, this place is full of vitality everywhere: there are water mills and wind mills in every village, and more than 1000 farmers pay rent and tribute for us. People''s families raise horses and cattle. At lunch time, the smoke from the thatch curls and the bell tower of the Catholic Church rings I dare say that there are few places in the Republic that can compare with a rich town like vidava. "


    Listening to Pedro''s flaunting words, lubaumatz responded: "the talents of you and Cherchen are obvious to all the nobles of the Republic."


    "Hum!"


    After hearing lubaumatsky''s compliment, Pedro was not happy, but hummed.


    "But even if they have talent, those who are jealous of virtue and ability don''t even give us a city. They not only take Brest back, but also want to take my nephew''s Bratslav as their own."


    These words made lubaomatsky smell - I''m afraid this uncle of Cherchen didn''t come to send himself.
