The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Seven days later, in Cheerchen's villa outside Warsaw, General Robert Douglas held Cheerchen's hand and said cordially, "Congratulations, Cheerchen."

Beside the two, Yelishei, Fedot, Viscount Hessian, Xie Miao, Ingrid, Bogong and others were all smiling.

Fatima held Anna in one hand and Janush in the other, with a smile on her face.

Anna saw that everyone congratulated her father. When she was young, she didn't know what had happened. She looked at her mother in doubt, and at Bogong. Little Janusz kept sucking his fingers.

Feeling Anna's gaze, Bogon walked to Anna's side.

Bogon, who is thirteen years old this year, has grown into a real Cossack, and his appearance is almost exactly the same as his father, Bohun, the hero of the Cossack.

As early as when Bogon was ten years old, although Chechen was still the governor of Bratzlaff, he had already consciously handed over Bratzlaff's military and political power to Bohong.

In other places, ten years old may still be a very small age, but in Ukraine, in the Cossacks, ten years old can already be counted as an adult.

After Cheerchen was ordered to stay in residence by Jan Kazimierz, Bogong temporarily managed Bratzlaff for his adoptive father, and this time he came to Beijing to canvass for Cheerchen's election.

In the Republic, many princes and nobles have guards composed of Cossacks, and the most famous of them is the armoured Cossacks. These Cossacks were all Cossacks who did not follow Bogdan Khmelnitsky to rebel against the Republic during the Zaporozhye Uprising. In order to win over these loyal Cossacks, the Republic of Poland not only increased their military pay, but also gave them all the status of aristocracy. Although two different paths were chosen, the "brotherhood" between the Cossacks was not severed. The most obvious example is: Although Bogdan Khmelnytsky is regarded by the Poles as a hero and a hero of the country, those Cossacks who choose to be loyal to the Republic have still regarded Bogdan Khmelnytz Ki sees it as the hero of the Cossacks.

Therefore, the identity of the son of Bogon’s "Cossack Eagle" is extremely appealing among the Cossacks. The older Cossacks saw Bogon tears as if they saw Bao Hong. And Bogong also used this to turn their love for themselves and their dead father into support for Cheerchen.

After Bogon walked to Anna's side, he gave Anna's brain a thud before even speaking.

"My little idiot," Bogon said with a smile, "Father will soon become a king. You will be a princess."

Anna touched her head with tears, still a little unclear.

At this time, Cheechen opened his mouth and said to Bogong, "Bogong, be more stable. The result hasn't come out yet. It's not yet known whether he was elected."

Hearing what his father said, Bogon curled his lips unconvinced.

However, although Chechen reprimanded Bogong in his words, he had actually determined in his heart that the position of the Polish king belonged to him. Because the small and medium nobles support themselves, there are many of his supporters among the big nobles, not to mention that the Kingdom of Sweden and the Principality of Prussia stand behind them...Looking at other competitors, no one has such a big advantage.

What's more, for this election, Cheerchen invested a huge fortune of 10 million talers back and forth.

Originally, Cheerchen was also worried that Princess Galisadai would use the same means as Prince Boguslav to deal with herself, fabricating her own black material, and he even tried to prevent the Princess from being "Salmatia" (Sarmati). Ya refers to the nomadic tribes that originated in ancient Iran, and the Polish aristocracy believes that they are descendants of the Salmatians who invaded the ancient Slavic tribes. This can be understood as a noble lineage). The accusation of descent has been faked by him. A genealogical document was created, linking the Alvar family to a certain king in Polish history through a series of complicated in-laws.

But since the ceremony of paying homage to the Mihav knight, Princess Galisadai and Jan Sobieski have died down, as if confessing their failures.

After General Robert Douglas released Cheerchen's hand, he asked him, "Cheerchen, what are your plans when you become the King of Poland?"

The general is listening to Tetsuchen's future policy. Because once Chechen becomes the king of Poland, the foreign policy of Sweden, as Poland's neighbor, will of course also change accordingly.

What do you plan to do?

Cheerchen lost his thoughts.

Originally, his thoughts were very simple. When the Polish king was to avenge Mihavu Vorro's Yavsky knight, he would prove his ability to Natalie. When these two things were achieved, he followed the example of Henry III and went away.

But after performing every scene in the spirit sacrifice ceremony, Cheechen's thoughts have changed a lot.

At that time, thousands of nobles in the church raised their swords at the same time, shouting their names, Cheer Chen felt the unprecedented energy injected into his body.

An energy called "responsibility".

For the first time, Cheer Chen felt that he had to do something for these nobles who trusted him, and for this country.

He thought a lot, thinking that he led a hundred thousand cavalry to crush the power of the Ottoman Turkey under the spears of the wing cavalry; thinking that he led the Polish-Ukrainian coalition to torch the sinful Kafa slave market, and that Eastern Europe no longer Every year I have to worry about the hunting of the Tatar cavalry; think of him defeating Prince Alexei and regain all the land on the right bank of the Dnieper; think of the flag of the Republic of Poland reinserted in Moscow after 70 years The red wall of the Kremlin; thought of the same voice resounding from sea to sea (Baltic Sea to Black Sea)... Then he would walk up to Natalie, grab her strongly, and tell her that since you are so If you love such a country, then I will become this country. I will complete the unfinished business of King Jan Kazimierz. I will make her strong. I will let our children and grandchildren become the masters of this country.

The thoughts of these memories swept through Cheechen's mind, but in the end, what he said was: "I will bring peace to this country and friendship with the Kingdom of Sweden for generations."

General Robert Douglas was about to smile and replied, "As expected," when suddenly, the door was slammed open.

An armored Cossack ran up in a panic, and he said breathlessly: "Oh, no, count, an army is coming here."

Everyone was stunned.

Pidro was the first to react, and he asked: "Whose man is it, do you see clearly?"

The armored Cossack replied, "It's the earl's wife, Miss Natalie."

"It's mother, it's mother." Little Janush exclaimed excitedly.

Then, he was ready to break Fatima's hand to find his mother.

But Fatima grabbed Xiao Yanu's hand tightly, and her eyes looked at Cheerchen anxiously.

Natalie is not only Cheerchen's wife and Xiao Yanu's mother, but also Cheerchen's competitor, when the Duke Gan is a supporter. At this time, she is leading the army to come, I am afraid that the visitor is not good.

Chechen was silent at first, and then he smiled.

He was confident that Natalie would not hurt herself.

"What's the matter with you?" Cheechen smiled and clapped his hands. "This is Warsaw. No one dares to risk the world's ill will to use swords and soldiers here. Besides, Natalie is not necessarily aimed at me here."

After speaking, Cheerchen turned to Yelishei and said to him: "Yelsey, you go and gather the team, we go to the parliament."

Yelisei's bumpy command went down.

And Cheer Chen saw that everyone was still worried. In order to stabilize the military, he deliberately didn't wear the usual black armor, but just put a thin chain mail protection inside the dress.

Cheerchen went downstairs accompanied by Pidro and Xie Miao.

When he came to the door, he saw the Hessian cavalry led by Yelishei crowding at the door, confronting the people brought by Natalie.

In the crowd, Natalie riding a horse is so eye-catching.

He was wearing a winged cavalry armor without a helmet, a saber hung from his waist, and a long braid tied behind his head with a white strap.

Heroic and heroic, extraordinary heroism.

"My name is Natalie Kishka."

In a daze, Cheerchen seemed to have returned to the scene where he and Natalie first met more than ten years ago.

At that time, she looked like this when she knocked down the Swedish officer Kraft Hosson to the ground.

Pulling his thoughts back to reality, Cheer Jin walked towards Natalie.

Seeing Cheerchen coming, the soldiers around him stepped back on both sides, giving way.

"Natalie." Cheer Chen whispered.

Just like calling his wife on weekdays.

Natalie was shocked when she heard the words, as if her heart had been struck.

Then, she also recalled those memories from many years ago.

But after only a while, Natalie’s eyes returned to clarity, she seemed to have made a lot of determination, and asked in the same tone as she did more than ten years ago: "Cheerchen. If I say, for me , So don’t leave this house today, would you?"

Except for Cheer Chen, there was an uproar. Especially General Robert Douglas from Sweden.

"Dear Countess, I don't understand what you mean by this. You should know what an important day today is for your husband. He can't stay here. Cheerchen should go to the House of Warsaw. "General Robert Douglas asked Natalie angrily.

Natalie turned a deaf ear to General Robert Douglas' questions. She just looked at Cheer Chen, waiting for his answer.

"I'm sorry, Natalie." Cheechen shook his head and said, "I must go to the House today."

By now, Cheer Chen was already burdened with too much, and he had no right to be a deserter.

Natalie lowered her head in disappointment.

But when she raised her head again, her expression was extremely firm.

"So Chechen, I'm sorry. I will never let you leave here today."

As soon as Natalie's words fell, the thousand soldiers she had brought shouted, and they all set out to block the battle.

"you you!"

Seeing this scene, General Robert Douglas was furious but helpless. He did not expect that in the "kingdom election" Poland, there would be a scene of threats by force in order to prevent the candidates from being elected.

Moreover, the threat actor is still the wife of the threatened.

Yelishei looked at Chechen.

There are more than 100 cavalry under Yelisei's command, and there are nearly two thousand mercenary soldiers stationed near the villa. As long as they hold on for a while, when the soldiers gather, they will be able to safely protect Chechen to the city of Warsaw.

Cheerchen didn't give any instructions. He just looked at Natalie with infinite sadness.

"Are we really going to the point where we meet each other? Natalie." He asked his wife.

Natalie put her head aside in pain.

"Chechen, trust me. The position of king is not for you. You should be the governor of Riga or Bratzlaff, not the monarch of a country."

Why do everyone say that?

Cheechen wanted to tell Natalie about his plan to push the Republic of Poland to glory, hoping to make Natalie change her mind. After all, they married together. But after listening to Natalie's words, he said nothing.

At the same time, one of his hands was raised.

Yelishei drew the knife.

The cavalry under his command also drew their swords out of their sheaths.

Fatima covered Janusz’s eyes and mouth, and forcibly carried him crying into the house.

A fire does not seem to be inevitable.

At this moment, a rush of horseshoes came. A middle-aged man shot in French clothing came to the front of the two armies.

"I am Jacques de Clermont, the messenger of the Duke of Gan." The visitor said in fluent French.

Natalie looked at the visitor suspiciously, she had never seen this man named Jacques de Clermont.

"Did the Duke arrive in Warsaw?" Natalie asked.

The messenger named Jacques de Clermont shook his head.

"No, the Duke has gone back to Paris. He gave up running for the King of Poland."

Natalie's eyes widened in disbelief~www.readwn.com~ Cheechen breathed a sigh of relief-when Duke Gan gave up the election, this was no better result. Because of this, Natalie has no reason to embarrass herself.

More than one person has the same idea as Cheor Jin. When Jacques de Clermont announced that when Duke Gan gave up the election, many officers and times of both sides also laid down their weapons.

Mark de Clermont jumped off his horse and walked towards Chechen.

"You are Count Alvar Chechen. The Duke heard about your deeds, and he thinks you are more suitable to be the king of Poland than him. Oh, yes. He also has a letter for me to give you personally."

With that, Marc de Clermont kept going and put his hand in his pocket.

Natalie, who was still sitting on the horse, recovered from her disbelief. At this time, she didn't feel the slightest frustration, but there was a kind of relief that relieved her heavy burden.

When Duke Gan gave up the election, her promise to King Jan Kazimierz automatically lapsed, and Jan Sobieski could only abandon his plan of "starting first to be strong"-although she still thinks Her husband is not suitable for the position of the king, but at least she has no reason to meet him.

"Chechen, congratulations."

Natalie looked at Cheer Chen and said joyfully to her husband in her heart.

But she knew that she had already lost the qualification to say this sentence.

Suddenly, Natalie saw that Jacques de Clermont, who claimed to be the messenger of the Duke of Gan, had his back turned to him, and took out a dagger from his waist.

"No!" Natalie yelled in horror.

She and Cheerchen were too careless, never expected that this so-called Jacques de Clermont was not a real messenger, but an assassin.

Cheerchen was caught off guard, seeing a cold light on his chest...
