The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 887: Prince loses election

Cheerchen and Natalie only met at the abdication ceremony of Jan Kazimierz. After that, although Jan Kazimierz had been relieved before he left, the two lovers who had been close to each other were like strangers and never met again.

Time soon arrived in 1667. After King Jan Kazimierz abdicated, after long preparations, the election date for the new Polish king was determined.

The candidates have gradually become more enlightened.

Among them, a total of five candidates have received the most attention from the public and are most likely to become the new kings of Poland.

The first is the famous French general and the son of the "Grand Condé" who was elected to the Duke of Gan by Jan Kazimierz after his abdication to Jan Sobieski and Natalie. He was supported by King Louis XIV of France and the Sobieski and Kishka families in Poland, and the supporters of this faction are also known as the Danggan faction.

The second is Philip Wilhelm, Duke of Neuburg, Germany. His supporters behind him are the Habsburg family. Some pro-Habsburg Polish nobles are his **** fans. These people are also called Neuburg. group.

The third is Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine from France, whose supporters are called the Lorraine School.

And the fourth place is the Prince Mihav of the Vichynevitsky family. The prince is 27 years old this year. Although his family is in decline and the ridiculous things continue, but his dead father's famous name and his long-sleeved mother who is good at dancing still sent him to the election platform of the Polish king. In addition, many old-school nobles who tend to elect a Polish king as king also have expectations of this noble prince. His faction is called Mihaupa.

Finally, it was Prince Boguslav Laziviu who met Chechen in Minsk.

The Boguslav faction can be regarded as the weakest of the five factions, because besides himself, only his uncle, the Elector Frederick William of the Duchy of Prussia, supports him. And because of his traitorous performance in the Polish War and his status as a Protestant, there are few well-known and well-known supporters in Poland.

However, although his strength is the weakest, Boguslav has a heart higher than the sky and is determined to win. Because he had calculated that once the Danggan, Neuburg, Lorraine, and Mihavu factions interfere with each other in the contest for the Polish throne, then according to the stubbornness of those nobles. Temper, they will never choose the opponent's candidate, and at that time, the winner will easily fall into the head of a candidate who has not participated in the competition. And once such a situation occurs, then this person can't be anything else, it can only be him, a dignified person who is a talented person, a domination, a wealthy country, and a proud tribe.

Because of the late-competition plan, Boguslav has always adopted the strategy of "secretly entering the village and not shooting guns" on the issue of electing the king. When anyone asks whether he is determined to run for the king, Mr. Boguslav It is a humble and cryptic expression: "As long as the people hope, he is willing to take responsibility."

But at the same time, Boguslav first opened a big net in Lithuania, and established secret alliances with all the nobles who were willing to share weal and woe with the Laziviu family, and then opened a big net in Huasala.

The situation started as Boguslav expected. Although the three candidates, the Duke of Danggan, the Duke of Neuburg, and the Duke of Lorraine, are still abroad, the supporters of the three factions have long been fighting in Poland. When a supporter of any faction meets a supporter of another faction, the tools they speak are not mouths, but fists and swords.

This chaotic situation also changed the tendency of the small and medium-sized nobles, who accounted for the vast majority of the electors, and some voices began to appear-"A Polish, not a foreigner, should be the king."

For this voice, Boguslav was delighted.

Of course, the so-called Poles do not refer to him, as well as Prince Mihav of the Visnievitsky family. But Boguslav always didn't see Prince Mihavu in his eyes, because in the eyes of all living beings, the noble and noble Mihavu Prince was an embroidered pillow. Although he is now more prestigious than himself, it is all based on the fame of his father in the past. But small and medium aristocrats are often the most practical. For them, the prestige of a candidate in the end is often not as attractive as money. Otherwise, with the prestige of Prince Mihav’s father Jarime Wisniewitzki, it was Karl X who became the king of Poland.

There is no shortage of money for Prince Boguslav, but Mihavvishnevitsky is in short supply.

Therefore, Prince Boguslav believed that when his rival was only Prince Mihav, the winner was himself.

However, Prince Boguslav underestimated Prince Mihavu. In other words, he underestimated the mother of Prince Mihavu, Princess Garisaida.

"A Polish man, not a foreigner, should be the king" was spread by the princess. The purpose of Princess Garisaide's doing this, of course, is not to help Boguslav ascend to the throne of King of Poland, but to help her son.

Therefore, Princess Galisadai had already had the corresponding countermeasures on how to prevent Boguslav from competing with her son.

A countermeasure to stop Boguslav on the road of electing the king~www.readwn.com~ It turns out that in the process of determining candidates for the election of the new king, there is a link called qualification review. As the name suggests, the qualification review is the process where the members of the review committee eliminate candidates who do not meet the election conditions. However, although the review committee has this power, it rarely uses it. Because who can run for the King of Poland, who is not a prominent figure in Europe, who is not a supporter of thousands of supporters in the Republic, and a few of the members of the review committee are willing to risk grievances and offend one. A big shot.

But this time, Princess Galisadai took full advantage of this legal procedure and dealt a fatal blow to Boguslav.

Once, when a parliamentarian who was bought by Princess Galisaide raised questions about the legitimacy of Prince Boguslav Laziviu’s membership, before he waited for Boguslav’s companions in the committee to distinguish, he immediately went from the gallery. A powerful voice broke out: "A traitor, a traitor! Or a foreign official."

After this voice, some other voices rang out-this was made by some congressmen who held the same views as this voice. As a result, the parliament was divided into two factions. One faction asked for the disqualification of Prince Boguslav’s election qualifications, and the other faction demanded recognition of his qualifications.

In the end, it was decided to submit the issue to the court, which was mediated by the court and finally recognized Boguslav qualification.

Although Boguslav is still a candidate for the throne, Princess Garisadia's goal is clearly achieved. With the news that day, the long-term memory of Boguslav’s betrayal of the Republic was once again awakened in the minds of the people, and his identity as the governor of the Principality of Prussia was also known.

It can be said that Boguslav is a candidate for the throne and will only be a candidate for the throne.
