Seven days later, in Chechen's villa outside Warsaw, General Robert Douglas held Chechen's hand and said cordially, "Congratulations, Chechen."
Next to them, yelishei, fedot, viscount Hessen, Xie Miao, Ingrid, Bogong and others were also smiling.
Fatima was holding Anna in one hand and yanush in the other, with the same smile.
Anna saw that everyone congratulated her father. When she was young, she didn't know what had happened. She looked at her mother and Bogong suspiciously. Little janush kept sucking his fingers.
Feeling Anna's eyes, Bogong came to Anna.
As like as two peas, brother, who is already thirteen years old, has long grown into a real Cossack. His appearance is almost identical to that of his father, Cossack's brother.
As early as Bogong was ten years old, although Chechen was still the governor of Bratslav, he had consciously handed over the military and political power of Bratslav to Bohun.
In other places, ten may still be a very young age, but in Ukraine, among Cossacks, ten can be counted as an adult.
After Chechen was ordered to stay in seclusion by Jan kazimizh, Bogong temporarily managed Bratslav for his adoptive father. This time, he came to Beijing to cheer for Chechen's election.
In the Republic, many princes and nobles have guards composed of Cossacks, and the most famous of them is the arms called armored Cossacks. These Cossacks were all Cossacks who did not follow Bogdan hemelinitsky to rebel against the Republic during the zaporoze uprising. In order to win over these loyal Cossacks, the Republic of Poland not only increased their military pay, but also gave them the status of nobility. Although two different paths were chosen, the "Brotherhood" between Cossacks was not cut off. The most obvious example is that although Bogdan hemelinitsky is regarded by the poles as a traitor and the hero of the country, those Cossacks who choose to be loyal to the Republic still regard Bogdan hemelinitsky as a Cossack hero.
Therefore, Bogong's identity as the son of the "Cossack Eagle" is very appealing among Cossacks. The older Cossacks saw Bogong like Bao Hong with tears in their eyes. Bogong also used this to turn their love for themselves and their dead father into support for Chechen.
After Bogong came to Anna, he gave Anna a shudder on the skull before he opened his mouth.
"My little fool," Bogong said with a smile, "my father will be king soon. You will be a princess."
Anna touched her head tearfully, but she still didn't know why.
At this time, Chechen opened his mouth and said to Bogong, "Bogong, be steady. The result hasn't come out yet. It's unknown whether he will be elected or not."
When his father said this, Bogong curled his mouth in defiance.
However, although Cherchen scolded Bogong in his words, he actually determined that he was the king of Poland. Because the middle and small nobles support themselves, and there are many supporters among the big nobles. Moreover, the kingdom of Sweden and the Principality of Prussia are standing behind them... Looking around other competitors, no one has such an advantage.
What's more, for this election, Cherchen invested a huge fortune of 10 million tales.
Originally, Chechen was worried that Princess garisade would use the means to deal with Prince boguslav to deal with herself and fabricate her own black materials. He even wanted to prevent the princess from being "salmatia" to her (salmatia refers to the nomadic tribes originated in Ancient Iran, and the Polish aristocracy believes that they are the descendants of salmatians who invaded the ancient Slav tribe. Here can be understood as noble blood) The accusation of descent made him forge a genealogical document, which linked the aleval family to a king in Polish history through a series of complex in laws.
But since the end of the ceremony to pay tribute to the mihau knights, Princess galisade and Jan sobesky have stopped, as if they had admitted their failure.
General Robert Douglas released Cherchen's hand and asked him, "Cherchen, what are your plans when you become king of Poland?"
General, this is to inquire about Cherchen's future policy, because once Cherchen becomes the king of Poland, Sweden's foreign policy, as Poland's neighbor, will certainly change accordingly.
What are your plans?
Chechen fell into thinking.
Originally, his idea was very simple. When he became king of Poland, he was to avenge the yavsky Knight of Mikhail Voro and prove his ability to Natalie. When these two things were realized, he followed Henry III and went away.
But after the fun at the sacrificial ceremony, Cherchen's idea has changed a lot.
At that time, thousands of nobles in the church raised their knives and shouted their names at the same time. Cherchen felt that unprecedented energy was injected into his body.
An energy called "responsibility".
For the first time, Chechen felt that he wanted to do something for these aristocrats who trusted him and for this country.
He thought a lot. He thought that he led 100000 iron cavalry to crush the power of Ottoman Turkey under the spear of the winged cavalry; he thought that he led the Polish Ukrainian coalition to burn the evil Kafa slave market. Since then, Eastern Europe no longer had to worry about the hunting of Tatar cavalry every year; he thought of defeating Prince Alexei and recovering the land on the right bank of the dneb river Land; thought of the flag of the Republic of Poland, which was re inserted into the red wall of the Kremlin in Moscow after 70 years; thought of sea to sea (Baltic Sea to Black Sea) The same voice resounded... Then, he will go to Natalie, grasp her and tell her that since you love this country so much, I will become this country. I will complete the unfinished career of King Jan kazimiz, I will make her strong, and I will make our children and grandchildren the master of this country.
These memories swept through his mind, but in the end, he said, "I will bring peace to this country and friendship with the kingdom of Sweden for generations."
General Robert Douglas was about to smile and answer, "as you wish", when suddenly the door was pushed open.
An armored Cossack came running in a panic. He said out of breath, "no, count, an army is coming here."
Everyone was stunned.
Pedro took the lead in responding. He asked, "do you see whose people are?"
The armored Cossack replied, "it's the count's wife, Miss Natalie."
"It's mom, it's mom." young yanush shouted cheerfully.
Then he was ready to break away from Fatima's hand and go to his mother.
But Fatima grabbed little Yanu's hand, and her eyes looked uneasily at Chechen.
Natalie is not only Chechen's wife and little Yanu's mother, but also Chechen's competitor. She is a supporter of Duke Gan - I'm afraid it's not good for her to lead troops at this time.
Che Chen was silent at first, and then he smiled.
He was confident that Natalie would not hurt herself.
"What's the matter with you?" Chechen smiled and clapped his hands. "This is Warsaw. No one dares to risk the world's condemnation to use a sword here. Besides, Natalie may not be against me."
With that, Chechen turned to yelishei and said to him, "yelishei, you go and assemble the team, and we'll go to the parliament."
Yelisheyi took the order with difficulty.
But Che Chen saw that the people were still worried. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he deliberately didn't wear the usual black armor, but put a thin lock armor in the dress to protect himself.
Chechen went downstairs accompanied by Pedro and Xie Miao.
When he came to the door, he saw that the Hessian cavalry led by yelishei was crowded at the door and confronted the people brought by Natalie.
In the crowd, Natalie on the horse is so eye-catching.
He wore a winged cavalry armor without a helmet, a saber hanging from his waist, and a long braid tied behind his head with a white belt.
Valiant and heroic.
"My name is Natalie kishka."
In a trance, Chechen seemed to go back to the scene where he first met Natalie more than ten years ago.
At that time, she was like this when she knocked down Swedish officer kraft hosson to the ground.
Pull your thoughts back to reality and Chechen walks towards Natalie.
When the soldiers around saw Che Chen coming, they retreated on both sides and made way.
"Natalie." Chechen whispered.
Just as you call your wife on weekdays.
Natalie felt as if her heart had been knocked and her whole body shook.
Then she also recalled those memories many years ago.
But after a while, Natalie's eyes recovered their clarity. She seemed to have made a great determination and asked in the same tone as that more than ten years ago, "Cherchen. If I say, for me, so you don't leave this house today, will you?"
Except Chechen, there was an uproar. Especially General Robert Douglas from Sweden.
"Dear baroness, I don't understand what you mean. You should know what an important day today is for your husband. He can't stay here. Cherchen should go to the Warsaw house." General Robert Douglas asked Natalie angrily.
Natalie turned a deaf ear to General Robert Douglas's question. She just looked at Chechen and waited for his answer.
"I'm sorry, Natalie." Chechen shook his head and said, "I must go to the house today."
Up to now, Cherchen has carried too much. He has no right to be a deserter.
Natalie dropped her head in disappointment.
But when she looked up again, her expression was incomparably firm.
"Well, Chechen, I'm sorry. I'll never let you leave here today."
As soon as Natalie's voice fell, a thousand soldiers she brought shouted loudly and put aside the blocking formation.
"You... You!"
Seeing this, General Robert Douglas was furious but helpless. He never thought that there would be a scene of threatening by force to prevent candidates from being elected in Poland.
Moreover, the coercer is also the wife of the coerced.
Yelishei looked at Chechen.
There are more than 100 cavalry under yelishei's command, and there are nearly 2000 mercenary soldiers stationed near the villa. As long as you stick to it for a while, when the soldiers gather, you will be able to protect Cherchen safely to Warsaw city.
Cherchen didn't have any instructions. He just looked at Natalie with infinite sadness.
"Are we really going to meet in war, Natalie?" he asked his wife.
Natalie threw her head aside in pain.
"Cherchen, trust me. The position of king is not suitable for you. You should be the governor of Riga or Bratslav, not the monarch of a country."
Why does everyone say that?
Cherchen wanted to tell Natalie his plan to push the Republic of Poland to glory, hoping to make Natalie change her mind. After all, they were married. But when Natalie said this, he shut up.
At the same time, one of his hands was raised.
Yelishei pulled out his knife.
His cavalry drew their swords out of their scabbard.
Fatima covered little yanush's eyes and mouth and forcibly carried him crying into the house.
A fire does not seem inevitable.
Just then, a rapid sound of hoofs came. A middle-aged man who shot through French clothes came to the front of the two armies.
"I am Jacques de clement, the messenger of Duke Dangan," said the visitor in fluent French.
Natalie looked at the visitor suspiciously. She had never seen this man named Jacques de clement.
"Has the Duke arrived in Warsaw?" Natalie asked.
The messenger named Jacques de Clement 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.
Cherchen breathed a sigh of relief - when Duke Gan gave up the election, it was the best result. Because in this way, Natalie has no reason to embarrass herself.
More than one person has the same idea as Chechen. When Jacques de Clement announced that when Duke Gan gave up the election, many officers and time on both sides also laid down their arms.
Mark de Clement jumped off his horse and walked to Chechen.
"You are count aleval Chechen. The Duke has heard of your deeds. He thinks you are better suited to be the king of Poland than him. Oh, yes. He has another letter for me to give to you in person."
As mark de Clement moved on, he put his hand into his pocket.
Natalie, still sitting on the horse, recovered from her disbelief. At this time, she was not at all depressed, but she was relieved of her heavy burden.
When Duke Gan gave up the election, her commitment to King Jan kazimiz automatically expired, and Jan sobeski could only give up his plan of "starting first is strong" - although she still thought her husband was not suitable for the position of king, at least she had no reason to meet him.
"Cherchen, congratulations."
Natalie looked at Cherchen and congratulated 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 clement, who claimed to be the messenger of Duke Gan with her back to herself, took out a dagger from her waist.
"No!" Natalie shouted in horror.
She and Chechen were too careless to think that the so-called Jacques de Clement was not a real Messenger, but an assassin.
Caught off guard, Chechen saw a cold light forced to his chest······
