The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Although Chechen asked Azi Tanzan to bring back his challenge to Ayuqi, the war between the two did not start immediately. On Chechen’s side, it takes time to gather the *** nomadic tribes in the Azov region, and, for the Kalmyks who can conquer the Cherkessk defending thousands of people in a short period of time, Chechen’s Without saying anything, he was cautious in his heart. He sent out spies early to find out all the information about the Kalmyks.

Just a few days later, three big three-masted ships docked at the pier of Azov, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark red Kaftan suit with a big belly walked to the first one. The bow of the ship.

"Hessian, why didn't my nephew come to greet me?" The middle-aged man put up a curtain on his eyebrows with his hand, and then looked far away from the dock.

"Deputy Captain Pidro, you really have forgotten things. Don't we just landed? I haven't had time to inform the captain." Viscount Hessian stood aside, rubbing his hands and said with a smile.

The person who came was Cheechen's uncle Piedro.

It turned out that the Viscount Hessian returned to Poland with the money and recruitment orders that Chechen gave him. He found out that Pidro was in Vidawa, and the Viscount Hessian originally went to Vidawa to report to Pidro that he was safe. Later, he was going to continue to Hesse to recruit mercenaries, but Pedro stopped him.

The stingy fat man can do his calculations well. He wanted to come, although he could not fight the Swedish army and its allies within one year because of an agreement with King Karl X of Sweden, then he took the soldiers of the mercenary group to Crimea to help Chechen fight, that is also It is not a violation of the agreement. Moreover, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders. Taking someone to Crimea by yourself can also save a lot of money for the nephew. Moreover, Pidro has stayed in Vidava for nearly half a year. In these six months, he has long lost the freshness of a newcomer. Every day he looks at the same scenery and the serfs who cultivated for himself, Pidro has long been bored. Seeing that the holes in his belt became more and more punched, he was also very thoughtful.

After thinking about it this way, Pidro summoned everyone from the mercenary group. All of them combined, and finally decided that Pidro would lead the soldiers of the two squadrons to Crimea, while Bashit led the others to stay here. After all, the Republic of Poland is still at war. Although Vidava is located in the rear, it is necessary that someday the Swedes or Prussians will come over. It is also necessary to leave some armed forces.

In this way, Pidro and his team took a route through Austria, then followed the Danube all the way down, and passed the Black Sea, finally reaching Azov.

Hearing what Viscount Hessen said, Pidro slapped his forehead vigorously. He forgot about it so much that his head on the boat was really dizzy.

"Go, go!" Piedro urged.

Viscount Hessian hurried to shore. After a while, Cheerchen hurriedly hurried to the dock with Fatima, Yelishei and others.

"Uncle!" Cheerchen looked at Piedro's fatter face, and shouted in surprise and surprise.

"My good nephew, uncle makes me want to die."

As soon as he saw Cheerchen, Pidro opened his arms exaggeratedly, and then jumped off the boat like a giant toad, and flew straight into Chechen's embrace.

Cheerchen quickly measured the difference between his size and his uncle, and then took a step back consciously.

Pidro fell to the ground, and it took him a long time to get up with all the dust.

Looking at his uncle who was slapping the dust on his body, Cheerchen asked in surprise, "Uncle Pietro, how could His Majesty the King allow you to come to Azov? Isn't the war in Poland very tense?"

From the Viscount Hessian, Cheerchen already knew that Uncle Pietro came to Azov because he wanted to save the employment fee. This was in line with his uncle’s character, but Cheerchen didn’t understand, what about King Kazimierz. Will let uncle come.

This is also to blame for the short reporting time of Viscount Hessian to Chechen, and it is very difficult to make things clear.

Pidro patted the last dirty place on his knee, and then said frankly: "Why do you want the king to agree? Anyway, because of the agreement with King Carl X, we will not be able to fight with them again within a year, and stay in Poland. Why not help you?"

Cheerchen was silent when Pedro said so. From these short words, Cheer Chen heard a lot of messages that Natalie had never told herself.

Although there are a lot of things I want to ask uncle, but because this is a pier and uncle and the others are struggling with their cars and boats, Cheerchen temporarily resisted the question. He said to Pidro: "Uncle, let's go back to the castle and talk while eating."

Chechen led a strong workhorse for Pidro, while Yelishei and others greeted the companions of the other mercenary groups that came with the ship.

In the Azov Fort restaurant, through Chelchen's side-knack, Pidro explained what Natalie didn't say and Cheerchen wanted to know, what happened since the defeat of Warsaw's defense.

In the end, Pidro summed up the situation in the Republic of Poland this way: "Since the Tatars joined the war against Sweden, the Swedes have become more and more powerless in the face of raging uprisings and riots. Most of the Swedish infantry. He didn’t even dare to step out of the city or the castle. Those Tatars are really good at robbery and destruction. Anjay led the Tatar cavalry to the Elector’s den in Prussia. He took the entire Königsberg and surrounding areas Turned upside down. Countless villages lit up fireworks, and the residents there were tied with ropes around their necks, and they were dragged into slaves by the Tatar cavalry. Oh, Anjay also made a fortune. He Now the belt is made of gold, the cuffs are embroidered with gold thread, and even the spurs are replaced with gold. I heard that the elector cried to Karl X every day, hoping that Karl X would agree. He led the Prussian army to return to the rescue. But Karl X himself was stuck in the mud in Poland. With the help of the elector's nephew, he could barely maintain the situation. How could he agree. So Karl X gave the elector to the elector. The price is getting higher and higher. At first it was Little Poland, and then Lublin was added. Later, even Greater Poland and Lviv were packaged and given to the elector as a reward-anyway, most of these lands were not yet him. of."

Hearing Pidro talk about Karl X being so "generous", Cheerchen laughed out loud. He imagined the gentle and personable Swedish king he had seen in Warsaw a long time ago, and now the scorching "ugliness" of the Swedish king. Why should he have known this before?

Pidro continued to break the news: "And your little Nizi Natalie, she is also terrible now. I heard that since she returned to Poland, she led her own troops and a group of more than 500 people. The cavalry turned Sweden's Robert to the General Glass. Once, General Robert Douglas finally got the news from Natalie, and led a 3,000-man army to encircle her. Guess what? It turns out that the trail was deliberately released by Natalie through the traitor, in order to lure the Swedes out of the city. Now that's it, Robert Douglas' army is always attacked by the Poles. The Tatars attack the Swedes’ supply troops. , The Polish Rebels surrounded the small group of scattered investigations, the Swedish squadron, and the Polish cavalry of the squadron suddenly attacked Douglas's large forces all the time. When Robert Douglas recalled, several infantry and cavalry companies had been watched. They seemed to be wiped out. When they fled back in embarrassment, even the old nest was taken away!"

Pidro said heartily and spittingly. But when he finished speaking, Pidro slapped his thigh vigorously, again like a deflated ball. He said to Cheerchen: "It's a pity, my dear nephew. If I hadn't promised such a long year at that time, how much wealth and reputation I should have now!"

"It turns out that so many things have happened. Uncle and they actually went to Vidava long ago, but Natalie didn't tell me when she came to Bergzissale. Obviously she was afraid I knew that she had a conflict with her uncle. I'm worried," Cheer Chen thought.

But when he thought of Natalie's good intentions, Cheer Chen felt guilty again. He couldn't eat anymore, so he put the knife and fork down.

But Pidro, who was sitting across from the dining table, was completely unaware of the changes in his nephew’s mood. After eating a pilaf and drinking a bowl of mare's milk, he became interested in a roasted whole lamb and tore it up. A leg of lamb was laid.

"But it's not a bad thing in Vidava. At least I know how many catties I am. Except for war, uncle, I don't know anything. So I gave the land of Vidava to Kiayan and Pakistan. Ti, do you remember? It was Kiayan and his son Batty, the former manor manager of Prince Yanush. These Jews are really good at managing the farm. It saves me a lot of energy, but it also allows me Fatter." Pidro said vaguely, biting the meat on the leg of the lamb.

"Yeah." Cheerchen replied absently. At this time, his heart flew to the study again, to the blank letter paper on the desk.

"Hey, nephew. Did you listen to me?"

Pidro finally noticed Cheerchen's strangeness, and he put down the lamb's leg and asked Cheerchen.

"Yeah, of course! Uncle, I listen to every word you say. Hmm, it's okay to hand over the farm to Keayan and Batty, and professional matters should be handed over to professional people." Cheer Chen hurriedly agreed. .

"I think so too." Seeing Cheerchen also agree with his approach, Pidro said with a smile.

"Then, Uncle Pidro, you must have been tired after so many days at sea. After eating, take a good rest, and tomorrow I will tell you about the enemy we face."

At this time, Cheer Chen was already anxious to return to his room.

"I'm actually not tired."

Pidro didn't understand Cheerchen's mind as always.

"You must be tired!"

Cheerchen didn't wait for Pidro to refute, he stood up and walked to his uncle's back, massaging Pidro's shoulders.

Following Cheer Chen's massage, a sense of sleepiness came over.

Cheerchen gently put Pidro on the bed, and he walked out with hands and feet. He was about to close the door, but behind him, Father Spasokukotsky called to himself.

"Head, I have something to look for you."

Cheerchen turned his head and asked, "Father, what do you want?"

Father Spasokukotsky glanced into the house, and he asked Cheerchen in a low voice, "Cheerchen, has Pidro talked to you about Vidava?"

Cheerchen nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of speaking, he said that he had nothing to do in Vidawa all day, and he was almost fattening into a ball."

Hearing what Chechen said, Father Spasokukotsky sighed: "The deputy commander is fat, but some people are already skinny and skinny."

Cheer Chen knew that Father Spasokukotsky was dissatisfied with his uncle about something. He pulled the priest aside, and then asked why.

The priest said, "Chechen, did your uncle tell you that he reused Kiayan and Batty to manage Vidava?"

Cheerchen nodded: "Uncle said that he is not good at business, so I found someone who knows how to do it. I also think that professional matters should be left to professional people."

Hearing what Chechen said, the kind Father Spasokukotsky's eyes widened. After a while, the priest could see from Cheerchen's clear watery eyes that Cheerchen didn't know what Keayan and Batty did in Vidava.

Father Spaso Kukoc said: "Chechen, I know that you may be unhappy after hearing some words, but I still want to say. In Poland, most Polish peasants have to go to the lord’s land to perform one day of labor every week. The number is reasonable. But now, in Vidawa, Kiayan and Batty have arbitrarily increased the time to 4-5 days in order to please your uncle's favor and collect money for themselves. In this way, poor all Farmers basically don’t have much time to take care of their land. Kiayan and Batty even forbid farmers from leaving the village where they live, making them lose their personal freedom ~www.readwn.com~ are tied to the land and become Serfs."

"How could this happen!" Cheerchen exclaimed.

He didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen in his fief.

Father Spaso Kukoc said sadly: "I know you don't believe it, but this is the truth. Among these farmers are the refugees whom the deputy head of Bashit has been taking care of. Bashit also has opinions on your uncle. They have quarreled a few times, but the deputy head Pedro still does his own way. Chechen, I believe that you are a good person with a kind heart, and Pedro is also a bit greedy. So I will tell you the matter, hope Can you help those farmers."

While speaking, Father Spasokukotsky shook his head helplessly.

Tetsuchen took hold of the priest's hand.

"Father, I’m sorry. I don’t know that my uncle would be like this. I believe he is doing it for me. Well, he actually made enough money. Father, don’t worry, I’ll persuade him about this matter. I’m now Just write a letter to ask Bashit to abolish the tyranny, and each farmer will only serve one day a week for free." Cheer Chen said apologetically.

"Praise God!" Spasokukotsky said excitedly.

When Cheerchen told Pidro's uncle about the burden of reducing the burden on the peasants in the fief the next day, Pidro became furious: "Which guy is this! Am I going too far? In Poland, Which lord is not like this! Since God arranged for us to be nobles, arranging them to be inferior people who were born to be called, is this also my fault? Besides, our mercenary group protected them from Sweden in Vidava The invasion of people, Prussians and bandits, we want them to pay more work, is this too much!"

Pidro was complaining endlessly, and Cheerchen suddenly felt that what Uncle said was not unreasonable...
