The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

"Why! Why! Why do you decide everything before you tell me? Why is it the last one I know?"

That night, in the dormitory of the palace, King Kazimierz furiously said to Queen Ludvika.

Queen Ludvika looked at her husband calmly and said nothing, until he finished venting. The queen knew very well that King Kazimierz had reason to be angry. Because from the assurance to Lubaumacki to the sending of Janusz to Lithuania as an envoy, everything went to Kazimierz, who only told him after he had done things.

Therefore, the king believes that his power has been desecrated. And it was his wife who blasphemed it.

After more than half an hour, King Kazimierz said that he was tired. He sat on the sofa, breathing heavily.

Queen Ludvika stood up, she found a cup of tea from the exquisite teapot and handed it to her husband.

Kazimierz turned his head.

"I don't drink it!" the king said angrily. His toes kept hitting the floor, as if continuing to protest.

Facing Kazimierz's childlike behavior, Queen Ludvika smiled slightly. The queen put the teacup aside.

"Young, I admit that I did set everything without your consent. But in all fairness, whether it is to compromise with the marshal or send Janusz to Lithuania, it is the most correct decision at the moment." Ludvika Said the queen.

"Really? I don't think. People would say that the marshal won, the king lowered his head, and Kazimierz was wrong. The declaration is a piece of waste paper." Kazimierz snorted coarsely in his nostrils, very unconvinced. To say.

Queen Ludwig took a step closer to the king.

"It is not a big deal for the king to compromise with the marshal. We have nothing now, and we must rely on Lubaumacki to regain Warsaw. I believe that even if I bring back Lubaumacki's terms, you will eventually Signed. Without relying on him, who else can we rely on?"

"I also have Pavel Sapega, and Stefan Czarnetsky, and... you see, they are all supportive of me." The king is still angry, but he has gone from pure anger. Turned to the debate with the queen. Explain that at this time, he began to make sense.

"Sapega is far away in Lithuania. Don't say anything about going to Lithuania. With only one Sapega, you can't beat Karl X. As for Stefan, he is indeed loyal, but the general strength is still too weak. Now, his soldiers and horses have to rely on Lubaumacki to provide supplies. As for sending Janusz to Lithuania, I believe that there is no more suitable person by your side than him. Potockid is highly respected, and he is in Lithuania. Wolf, Lubaumacki has to sell him some face."

Having said this, Queen Ludvika sighed. Now it can be regarded as the weakest king of the Republic of Poland, but even with her ex-husband, Kazimierz’s elder brother, Władysław IV, how could the situation be better?

Bogdan Khmelnitsky is an example. This fierce enemy of the Republic was also a soldier who guarded the border for the Republic. Just because the son of a great nobleman took a fancy to his land in Subotiv, and instigated a little nobleman to attack Subotiv while Khmelnitsky was out, killing his son and snatching it away. His wife. Khmelnitsky ran around and complained, seeking justice. He even filed a court case against his husband (Wladyslaw IV), but the king was unable to get justice for him. The son of the great nobleman even put Khmelnitsky in prison after he returned to his hometown. With the help of other Cossacks, Khmelnytsky escaped from prison, but the escaped Khmelnytsky was desperate, so he was determined to fight to the end and launch a riot against the Poles. A person who was originally good at self-sustaining, polite, and law-abiding, was forced by the nobleman to become an angry rebel. The nobles lit up sparks, but burned themselves to ashes.

"Then you should discuss with me first." King Kazimierz murmured.

This time, Queen Ludvika sat next to Kazimierz, and she put her hand on her husband's shoulder intimately.

"I did that just to make Lvbao Macki more at ease and believe in you. Don't worry, what I made with him is only a verbal agreement. After we regained Warsaw and our power was stabilized, he couldn't find it even if we repented. Evidence." Queen Ludvika said lightly. What she meant was that Kazimierth would regret it in the future!

"But that's the king's..." King Kazimierz looked at his queen in shock.

"The promise of the king is of course solemn and effective. But your declaration to the people comes first, and the guarantee to the marshal comes second. You should fulfill the declaration first if you want to make sense and reason, right?" Queen Ludvika slyly Said.

"You are more suitable for this position than me." Kazimierz said.

"But I think my husband is the most suitable king to be the king of Poland." Queen Ludwig said.

At this time, Kazimierz was no longer angry with his wife. UU reading www. On the contrary, he also consulted what to do next.

In this regard, Queen Ludvika told the king that what he should do most now is to accumulate strength and cultivate people who are absolutely loyal to him. A Sapega and a Stefan are still too few, and the king should have more generals with military power beside him.

"However, most of the army of the Republic is in the hands of the great nobles, even Lithuania, because of Yanush’s treason, a power vacuum appeared. This gave Sapega a chance. And we now even have money. Nothing." Kazimierz shook his head. It is too difficult to cultivate his own arms now.

"Of course it is impossible in Lviv. But God bless you, Lithuania is absolutely obedient to you. Your Majesty, you can arrange reliable people to Lithuania, let them recruit troops and buy horses under the wings of the overlord, and expand their strength. As for money, we can. Like Jewish bankers to borrow money." Queen Ludwig asked.

This is indeed a way. King Kazimierz immediately became interested. He asked his wife if he had a suitable candidate.

"Alvar Chechen," the queen said.

"Alvar Chechen?" King Kazimierz still remembers this name. It was the great hero who defended the Great Guangmingshan Monastery.

"Yes, it's him. Although this kid is young, he has rich combat experience and integrity. He has a group of good helpers, each with unique skills. More importantly, he likes Natalie, and Natalie Li's loyalty to you is beyond doubt," said Queen Ludvika.

"So you sent him to **** Janusz to Lithuania?" Kazimierz once again marveled at his wife's indispensable plan.

"Yes, don't you think this is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone?" Queen Ludvika smiled and pushed Kazimierz onto the sofa.
