The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Arvid Widenberg didn't expect Queen Ludwig to mention Christina, and he didn't know how to interface.

At this time, Queen Ludvik continued: "Queen Christina gave up the throne and passed her throne to her cousin Karl X because she believed that Karl could lead the people of the Kingdom of Sweden on the road to prosperity. But five years. In the past, have the lives of the Swedes been better? No, the Kingdom of Sweden has not been fighting for a single day in the past five years. The country is tired and the people of Sweden are in dire straits every day. As far as I know, in In areas such as Vyborg and Reval in Sweden, farmers have already begun to endure hard labor and military service. Facts have proved that Karl X's ability to govern the country is far behind Christina."

A fire burned in Alvid Wedenberg's heart.

It is not because of the half-truths and false words of Queen Ludvika, but because the words of Queen Ludvika actually support Christina's resettlement.

Arvid Widenberg is a die-hard supporter of Christina, and the old man dreams of the queen's return to the throne of the Kingdom of Sweden.

But this inner joy was carefully concealed by Alvid Wedenberg. He knew that Queen Ludvika was an insightful master, and if his current emotions were seen through by the Queen, then the queen's overweight would definitely be reduced.

"Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect that as the Queen of Poles, your Majesty would be so concerned about our people." Arvid Widenberg said deliberately coldly.

Arvid Wedenberg’s tone was cold, but Queen Ludvika was not at all unhappy. She continued: “Of course, the king and I have our own selfish hearts. The Republic is now at war with the army of Tsarist Russia in Ukraine. The previous lessons of the Republic’s simultaneous wars with Sweden, Tsarist Russia, and Cossacks have been profound enough. We hope to eliminate Sweden’s military pressure on our country by supporting Christina to return to the throne, so as to fight against Tsarist Russia."

"Okay, okay." Alvid Widenberg clapped his hands, "But the queen, to support Christina in resetting, you should go to Christina. Unfortunately, I have been imprisoned here. For four years, the queen would never think that I can still get news about the queen in prison."

After speaking, Alvid Wedenberg stared at Queen Ludwig. He wants to confirm whether Christina plans to return to the Swedish throne. If Christina had no intention of this, it would be impossible for him to let Arvid Widenberg take the chestnut for the Poles in the name of the queen.

Queen Ludwig did not want to tell Alvid Wedenberg so easily. From the beginning to the present, it has been Alvid Wedenberg asking and answering himself. Now, Queen Ludwig wants Arvid Wedenberg to show his attitude.

"Count, if Christina intends to regain her throne, are you willing to help her?" Queen Ludvika asked with a smile.

"Christina Augusta is indeed the orthodox heir of the kingdom." Arvid Wiedenberg said.

This sentence echoed what Queen Ludwig had said to Christina just now, but it was really true, but if Alvid Wiedenberg answered it, it could be said that he didn't answer anything.

Queen Ludwig heard the strings and knew her grace, she knew that Alvid Wedenberg’s words were enough for this.

So she said: "His Majesty the King has written to the Pope, asking the Pope to come forward and persuade Christina. It is for the sake of her motherland that Christina has agreed. In four days, she will go to Warsaw. "Queen Ludvika said.

Arvid Widenberg put on an expression of pain and struggle. After a while, he exhaled heavily as if he had made the most painful decision of his life.

"God forgive me! For the orthodox children of the first king, for the citizens of Sweden. I have no choice but to abandon my oath to His Majesty Karl X."

Seeing what Alvid Wedenberg said, Queen Ludwig was very happy. She took Alvid Wedenberg’s hand to relieve him that God would not blame him, because he was engaged in a just cause.

Alvid Wedenberg nodded pretending to be helpless.

In fact, in the heart of Arvid Wedenberg, he has already begun to count the connections he can use in the Kingdom of Sweden, as well as those powerful figures who are in love with Christina.

Then, he began to talk to Queen Ludvika about the real problem-the problem of money and the army.

"Queen, even if I support Christina, I have no soldiers and no rights in my hands. If I want to reset the queen, King Jan Kazimierz, or how much manpower and material the Republic of Poland is willing to support me?"

Ludwig's back muscles twitched a few times.

All the human and financial resources of the Republic are now on the battlefield of Ukraine. King Jan Kazimierz himself is impoverished. There may be only one sentence they can give to Alvid Wedenberg: "Self-reliance, hardship struggle."

But Queen Ludwig must not be able to say so bluntly, otherwise Arvid Widenberg would definitely jump up and immediately pick up the ball.

"Count, you know, the Poles have been ravaged by the Swedish army for four years. They hate all the Swedes. If we send the Polish army to support Kristina, I don't think any Polish soldiers will join them."

"Then the queen means you can only provide money for us to hire mercenaries?" Alvid Wedenberg asked.

Queen Ludvik was silent.

Arvid Widenberg’s eyebrows were erected as expected.

This is to ask Queen Ludvika clearly and clearly: Don’t you want horses to run, but don’t you plan to graze them?

Upon seeing this, Queen Ludvika had to compromise and said that the Republic could come up with a sum of about 50,000 talers.

This is the limit that King Jan Kazimierz can come up with. That's all, the king had to borrow money from the Potocki family and Marshal Lubaumacki.

But fifty thousand talers were far below Arvid Widenberg’s expectations.

In the calculations of the former Swedish marshal, in order to reset Christina, at least no less than half a million talers would be needed for the start-up fund, and at least 200,000 talers would be needed every month thereafter.

For this reason, Arvid Widenberg insisted to Queen Ludwig that unless the Republic of Poland provided 600,000 talers or provided an army of 5,000 men and 300,000 talers, they wanted to rely on themselves and Christina's idea of ​​overthrowing Karl X can only be in the mirror.

Of course, as the beneficiary and participant of the reset, Christina should have contributed. And after abdication, Christina is not without any income. Her income comes from other places including Norrkoping, Gotland and Osser Island, Pomerania, etc. But Alvid Wiedenberg believes that, Karl X must have stopped these private money belonging to Christina. Over the years, the queen may not be richer than ordinary people.

Therefore, Arvid Widenberg, for the sake of the queen, can only bite the golden lord, Queen Ludwig, not letting go.

Queen Ludwig was forced by Arvid Widenberg to have nothing to do. She suddenly remembered that someone should be rich, and that this guy had helped Christina escape from Warsaw. Fight for Brest in front of his husband for him. That being the case, let that guy bleed this time.

"Earl, King Qian and Bing and I do not have it, but I know that there is a rich and enemy in the republic, and I am happy to support Queen Christina's just cause," said Queen Ludvika.

"Who is it!" Alvid Wiedenberg asked hurriedly.

As long as Christina can be reset, he doesn't mind or care if it is the king or the marshal of the Republic to help him.

"Alvar Chechen," said Queen Ludwig.

"It's him?"

Hearing this name, Arvid Widenberg was a little disappointed. Widenberg’s memory of Chechen still remained with the head of the mercenary regiment four years ago.

The disappointment revealed by the drooping brows, Queen Ludwig sees it clearly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She also knows that Alvid Wedenberg has been kept in prison and isolated from the world in recent years. May know what happened to the outside.

"Alvar Chechen is very different now. He is now the Earl of the Republic, and he owns Vidava and Bratzlaff, and he is about to be Brest forever. He has three fiefs and tens of thousands of soldiers; Moreover, Alvar Chechen just captured Prince Boguslav alive and rescued the wife and children of Frederick's electorate from Devenskberg, which is quite prestigious."

After hearing this, Alvid Widenberg's brows stretched.

If it is true as Queen Ludvika said, then Cheerchen is really an excellent help. It's just that the time has passed, whether Cheerchen will still retain the friendship with Queen Christina and help him out, Alvid Wiedenberg is not sure.

"Your Majesty, I want to see Alvar Chechen as soon as possible." Arvid Wiedenberg asked Queen Ludwig.

"Of course. He is in Warsaw at the moment, you can see him soon."
