The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Cheerchen certainly didn't want Yelishei to leave.

From the formation of the mercenary group to the present, Yelishei has made great contributions. He is a good cavalry officer, and he is extremely prestigious among the soldiers, even the Hessian cavalry and the Tatar cavalry under the command of Patriarch Isaac respect him. The loss of Yelishei is tantamount to breaking one of Chechen's arms. At least among the officers of the mercenary regiment nowadays, there is no one who is more capable of acting as the captain of the cavalry than him.

Therefore, Cheer Chen tried his best to persuade the old Yelishei to change his mind and keep Yelishei in his mercenary group.

He said: "Uncle Yelisei, your son Yelisei is a very good talent. He is extremely important and indispensable to our mercenary group. I hope you can let him stay here. , He can also get ahead."

Fedot also said to the side, "That's it. The monthly salary that the head of the group gives us is much higher than the rent."

Upon hearing this, the elder Yelisheyi yelled at Fedot: "Is it a money problem?" Then, he unceremoniously pointed out: "Head Chechen, since you know my son is a A very good person, then you should understand that his service in our Tsarist Russian army can play a greater role and brighter prospects. And in your mercenary group, I can’t see these. Even if you give it No matter how much money he has, the nobles need not money but honor, because we regard honor above their own lives. I have three sons, and I have sent them all to the front line to fight for the tsar and for Russia. Now, My other two sons are very brave. Even if they died in battle, the poets would compose their stories into poems and sing them in the Russian soil to add luster to the Yelisei family's badge. But Yeli Shay, he should have been like this. But he became a mercenary and accepted the employment of infidels. God is above, and may he forgive Yelishei. I don’t know how you tricked him into you. The mercenary group, I don’t want to know now. I just hope you can let him go back with me, and I want to lead him back to the right path."

The old Yelishei's words are sonorous and righteous. In fact, most of the old-school Boye nobles like Yelishei, most of them have the unique qualities of people who have come from the turbulent years of Tsarist Russia. The 15-year "turbulent era" is a test for Tsarist Russia. Baptism and transformation. As the saying goes, the population is declining, the social order is disrupted and reorganized, and the old and new aristocrats are replaced. Many of the stubborn diseases that existed in Tsarist Russia have been alleviated or even resolved because of the war.

The history of the great turmoil is more like a watch movement. At first, it was a "tilt", and the destructive process could not be suppressed to grow. All classes of the country joined the great turmoil one by one. However, after passing the lowest point below, the watch entered a rising period. The society gradually unites, overcomes the chaos, and the country begins to recover. The nobles who have experienced and were born in this era have more traditional, patriotic, arrogant characteristics and "ancient style" of loyalty to the country.

Hearing his father praise his brother and belittle himself, even if Yelishei admits that he is not wrong, the values ​​cultivated by the noble education he received from childhood still made him extremely ashamed of his father's criticism.

Chechen explained at this time that Yelisei was not betraying the motherland, but was persecuted by Yakov, and Yelisei had never used a sword against his compatriots (not counting the Don Cossacks).

However, if Cheerchen tells them all, then judging from the character of the old Yelishei, he will definitely go to Moscow to file a complaint. With Yakov's cruelty, once he knew the old Yelishei and knew the truth, he would definitely kill people.

Seeing Chechen didn't speak, the old Yelishei thought he had refuted Chechen. He straightened his chest and looked at Yelishei with his head down, with an unreasonable and unforgiving look.

"The prospects are indeed bright, so bright that your son was almost killed by Yakov Cherkaski."

After listening to the old Yelishei's words, it was also seen that Chechen and Yelishei did not speak. Fedot, who had been reprimanded by the old Yelishei just now, couldn't help but speak.

"What are you talking about!?" Old Yelishei didn't expect Fedot to say such a thing. My son was killed by General Yakov. What is going on?

"Enough, Fedot."

"Fedot, don't say it."

Cheerchen and Yelishei both opened their mouths to stop Fedot from continuing.

But at this time, the honest man Fedot, who was irritated by the old Yelisei’s appearance, ignored this, and how Yelisei was captured in Polotsk and how Yakov persecuted him in the name of death. Yelishei's suicide was fully revealed.

"This, is this all true? No, you must be lying to me!"

After hearing Fedot's words, the old Yelishei was trembling in shock~www.readwn.com~ He staggered back two steps, and almost didn't trip over the chair behind him. Later, he couldn't believe it, accusing Fedote of lying to him.

"Why should I lie to you?"

Fedot resented the self-righteous nobleman Paiyou the old Yelishei just now: "That Yakov also submitted the list of fallen nobles and officers to Moscow. In Tsarist Russia, your son is already dead. NS."

"Impossible, I have never received any notice of death." Old Yelishei yelled, and he grabbed his hair again: "You lie to me, you lie to me! I'm going to Moscow, to Moscow to verify ."

"Father!"

At this time, Yelishei took a step forward. He knelt down on one knee and looked at his father and said: "What Fedot said is true. I can swear in the name of God. Father, I should have been dead, but Captain Chechen took me in. The reason why the regimental commander and I have never said this is because they are afraid that you will go to Moscow. General Yakov Cherkaski is powerful and cruel. If he knows that you are investigating this matter, he will definitely be against it. Your disadvantage."

At this time, the old Yelishei could no longer support him, and slumped in a chair.

Nothing makes a patriot despair more than this-the old Yelishei sent his three sons to the front to fight for the country and the czar, but the generals of the czarist Russia abandoned himself like a deserted shoe. Son. The Yelishei family's fierce loyalty to the country was rewarded like this, and the old Yelishei couldn't think of anything.

The so-called grief is no greater than death, the old Yelishei's spirit instantly collapsed.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Old Yelishei's mouth had been muttering unconsciously. He didn't want to believe, and he didn't want to believe.
