The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

After the security in the whole city of Riga stabilized, Cheerchen returned to the troop carrier. He personally loosened Victor and Duke of Ovshane.

Victor moved his wrist and said nothing, while Duke Ovshane glared at Cheerchen. He shouted excitedly: "Count, do you know what you did! Do you want to ruin it? Poland?"

"I never thought of destroying Poland," Chechen retorted in a deep voice: "On the contrary, after obtaining the nobility, I have regarded Poland as my mother."

The Duke of Ovshane snorted coldly. He seemed to laugh at Cheerchen's disagreement.

Cheerchen ignored the ridicule of Duke of Ovsiané. He turned his face to Victor and said: "Uncle Victor, Her Majesty Queen Christina has already occupied Riga. From here, she will report to Karl X. Initiate a formal challenge. I believe she will win, and my Majesty the King must believe it."

Victor nodded.

"So Chechen, what else do you want me to convey to His Majesty the King?" he asked.

Chechen meant this. He said: "I hope you will tell King Jan Kazimierz from what happened last night and inform the parliament. When we defeated Carl X, Sister Christina will be back on board. Her throne, then her promise to Poland remains the same."

"I will tell the truth." Victor promised.

Then, he hesitated, and then couldn't help but ask: "Also, Cheerchen. Do you have anything you want me to bring to your family, such as Natalie's?"

Cheerchen thought for a while and said, "Please tell Natalie: Don't blame me."

Victor and Duke of Ovshane boarded the ship returning to Poland. The news they brought back is bound to cause an uproar in the Warsaw parliament.

Cheerchen may be deprived of all titles, titles, official positions, and fiefdoms, and he will be labeled as a traitor. Natalie and the others may also be implicated, but Cheerchen, who has taken the first step, has no time to take care of it. .

All he has to do now is to help Sister Christina with all his might to defeat that war-god cousin.

In the Riga Governor's House, after successfully persuading Magnus to surrender, Arvid Widenberg suggested that Christina immediately convene a temporary special council to recruit the army and expand its strength.

In the Kingdom of Sweden, in addition to the use of standing armies and mercenaries, the king's conscription must be approved by the parliament. In the parliament, the king must explain the legitimacy of the purpose of the recruitment and the specific implementation measures for the recruitment. On this basis, the royal family, farmers, and citizen representatives again negotiated the number of people to be recruited, the scope of the call, and any specific laws and regulations applicable to the management of the call.

Although such consultations are usually conducted in the parliament, the royal representatives will also directly negotiate with representatives of specific regions based on some permitted precedents or special circumstances to draw up the details of the call.

Alvid Wedenberg believes that this is the special situation now. Christina can only convene citizens' representatives, parliamentarians and bishops in Riga to form a draft committee.

The reason why the Conscription Council invites the Bishop of Riga is because in Sweden, the priest plays a very important role in the recruitment process. As a group of domestic intellectuals, they are often the first people in the community to learn the specific details of the conscription order from the church. They are also key figures to promote the legitimacy of the royal conscription order through evangelism. They are the communication between the royal family and the local community. Channels.

In addition, since every newborn must be baptized, the list of all men of the right age in the diocese that these priests are responsible for drafting is also the basic document for military service.

But Christina immediately rejected the proposal to recruit a civilian army in Riga.

The Queen’s point of view is that since her slogan is to stop the war, the act of recruiting the militia in Riga is obviously contrary to this original intention. What's more, Carl has been arrogant for many years. Young males of school age from all over Sweden have already been recruited to nine out of ten. Even if he convenes a temporary special assembly in Riga, the number of civilian troops that can be recruited is in vain.

And these points made by Christina are very disapproving of Arvid Widenberg, who is unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Although the age of enlistment in the Kingdom of Sweden is between 15 and 60 years old, the general king's army will only choose men between the ages of 18-45, and the only child of a family is exempted from military service. In other words, in the Swedish countryside, there are at least 15-18 years old and 45-60 years old men who have not been recruited, and these people happen to be the queen's warriors. Moreover, Her Majesty’s crusade against Karl X was to stop the war and for everyone in the Kingdom of Sweden. Then these beneficiaries should dedicate their strength, not just sit back and enjoy their achievements~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Your Majesty," Al Wade Widenberg lied and lied: "The convening of the temporary special assembly to recruit the militia is not just my own idea, but the consensus of everyone. The president of Riga, the bishop and all of them are willing to contribute to your cause for the queen. Even the representatives of the peasants, I have received more than one petition. They have high spirits and demand to go to the battlefield to fight against the false king for your majesty. You don't have to have a trace of psychological burden at all. "

Except for the last sentence, what Widenberg said is certainly not true, but he is sure that those words will become reality.

People are knives, I am fish.

Wiedenberg did not believe that those people could say or dare to say a "no".

But Christina was surprisingly stubborn this time.

"No, Alvid." Christina shook her head resolutely, "I know what you are going to do, and I know you are doing it for my own good. But please don't do this this time. My fight with Carl is a moral fight. I just want to fight with my thoughts, even if I fail."

Looking at Christina's determined face, Alvid Widenberg seemed to have returned to the time when the Queen took the throne in her early childhood. After learning that her father, King Gustav, had died unexpectedly in battle, Christina showed the same expression.

Arvid Widenberg fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty," Arvid Widenberg burst into tears with excitement, "No matter what, the old minister must stand by your side."

At this time, Cheer Chen just walked in. He is one of Christina's most trusted people, and the guards at the door certainly won't stop him.

When he saw this scene, although he didn't know what happened, Cheerchen still said firmly: "Me too."
