The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 851: Queen Regent 22

Stockholm is not just waiting for Christina to be crowned. In fact, on the night of the death of Brahe Wichensburg, a delegation led by General Robert Douglas arrived at Fort Dinaburg.

The purpose of Robert Douglas and his party was to go to Riga and put the crown of the Kingdom of Sweden on the head of its predecessor.

People are just such a reality.

Although Karl X has his own descendant Karl XI, and in theory, Karl XI should inherit his father's throne. However, almost all the generals and nobles in Karl X's army at that time were not optimistic about him, and felt pessimistic about the situation in Sweden after Karl XI became the throne.

The reason why everyone distrusts Karl XI so much is his age. At this time, Karl XI was only four years old, still a child who knew nothing.

The wife of Karl X, Heidewig Ilionora of Holstein-Gortop, was a weak woman. She had no commendable talents other than relying on her husband and raising her son.

Of course, for some careerists, orphans and widows are the best state in the kingdom, because it helps them control all the power of the kingdom. But the so-called crown must bear its weight. The Swedish crown is not only heavy, but also a hot potato.

Excluding the Republic of Poland, Sweden is still making enemies on all sides. Tsarist Russia, Denmark, and the Habsburg family are all enemies of Sweden.

At present, the kingdom is only able to maintain the situation by relying on the dividends of Gustav's reform and the undefeated record of Karl X. Now Karl X has died suddenly, whoever wears this crown will inherit the mess left by Karl X.

Apart from Karl XI, among the only two candidates, King Jan Kazimierz of Poland was not considered by anyone.

Although he has the blood of the Vassar family and has always claimed that he has the legal right to inherit the Kingdom of Sweden, the **** feud between Sweden and Poland makes everyone not and dared to consider welcoming such a king.

Moreover, a king who believes in Catholicism does not conform to the national conditions of Sweden, a Protestant country. Back then, King Jan Kazimierz’s father, Sigismund III, lost the throne of Sweden because he was a devout Catholic.

And the king seemed to care more about his other Catholic territory.

Then, the only suitable candidate is Christina, who is hostile to Karl X and raised the flag of rebellion in Riga.

Christina is the former queen, and Karl X's throne came from her abdication. For the vacant Swedish throne, Christina has a natural and legal right of inheritance. In addition, she is generous and military talent is not inferior to Karl X. She is the most suitable candidate for the king nowadays.

When a Duke of Sweden proposed Christina as the heir to the throne, everyone did not object to Christina because Christina was the object of the crusade not long ago, but readily agreed. They have only one request of Christina-that is to pardon all of their crimes.

Robert Douglas came with this condition. After learning about it, Cheer Chen told General Robert Douglas and other members of the mission in private that Queen Christina should be very happy to accept it, after all, except for the small battle that happened this morning. In addition, the two sides did not really fight, nor did they have the blood and blood of the other side.

Hearing Cheerchen's assurance, the members of those missions were all overjoyed.

General Robert Douglas was even more pleased-no one knows the great role he played in supporting Christina. But after the queen became king, General Robert Douglas believed that the queen would know about it and would appropriately reward him for his great achievements.

A cautious minister also timidly argued that even Brahe Wieschensburg’s behavior is his own behavior and has nothing to do with everyone else. Everyone has blocked them, but they have not stopped them.

These words were superfluous, and Cheerchen and Robert Douglas were a little embarrassed for a while.

After a long while, Cheerchen answered, "Of course. The death of Brahe Wichensburg is a very regrettable thing. He could have been a powerful general of the Queen."

Robert Douglas also said: "The Marshal chose to follow His Majesty Karl X. This is his loyalty, and we chose to continue to serve this country."

There was a conversation in the room, but outside the room, densely packed people had gathered on the walls, windows, and doors. The crowds were so crowded on top of their heads that they could race horses.

Because these mercenaries had heard the news from the entourage of the mission, and vaguely knew the purpose of the mission. And even the dullest person can understand that the decisions made in this house involve not only the country of Sweden, but also their personal-because the news that once the mission invites Christina to succeed to the throne is true~www. readwn.com~ Then they are all heroes who support the Queen's reset without bleeding, and the rewards will be extremely rich.

All the people are eagerly waiting. But apart from a few guards in blue uniforms around Cheer Chen walked out and invited some more prominent mercenary officers into the house, no one came out.

One hour after another hour passed.

Suddenly, the door slammed open, and Cheerchen and General Robert Douglas rushed out from inside.

The people outside the door instinctively backed away again and again.

Cheerchen walked forward with a smile, and the mercenaries around him consciously walked out around him. No one said a word, but they were all looking forward to something.

Cheerchen walked to the center of Dinaburg's square. He summoned his strength and shouted in a thunderous voice: "Long live Queen Christina, long live Queen of Sweden!"

Then, headed by General Robert To Glass, everyone in the mission was repeating Cheechen's words.

"Long live Queen Christina, long live the Queen of Sweden!"

After Three Calls Long Live, right here, in front of all the people present, Cheerchen turned to Robert Douglas, then embraced him warmly, and then embraced the deputy envoy of the mission, Senator Fabian von Wilson From the name of the latter, it is clear that it has German blood.

Then all the people started to hug each other. Everyone followed the three adults and embraced like closest friends.

The cheerful atmosphere spread quickly. Cheers echoed throughout Dinaburg.

The next day, Fort Dina became an undefended fortress.

All the defenders in the fortress, under the leadership of Chechen, dressed in colorful clothes and guarded the mission headed by General Robert Douglas towards Riga.
