Chapter 838

That night, the house of Jan sobesky was gloomy. Jan sobesky and Natalie had not returned to the house, and the staff had heard about what had happened in the church from the servants who had come back to report.

These staff officers are polish and have aristocratic status. They know what this means very well.

In the Republic, once an opinion or opinion forms a turbulent public opinion, it is irresistible by any force.

Even those big nobles, although they can cover the sky in Parliament and achieve their goals by bribing and buying noble members, when the middle and small nobles unite, they can only shout "my noble brothers" rather than despise "those mud legs".

Now, let aleval Chechen become the king of Poland has formed a consensus among the middle and small nobles participating in the memorial ceremony. This consensus will soon spread to every nobleman participating in the king election, and they will converge into an irresistible force.

Anyone who wants to block this force - if 100000 nobles are 100000 knives, he will face this blade mountain and sword sea.

"It's over. It's all over."

A young staff member threw the plan into the sky.

The plan was his painstaking efforts, but now these documents are like waste paper, worthless.

The paper danced all over the sky, and the staff squatted on the ground with tears.

No one helped him, because everyone bowed their heads and felt it.

For a moment, the hall was filled with an atmosphere called despair.

"What's the matter with you!"

Suddenly, an impassioned voice came from the gate.

"Did you just give up? Just like you gave up your king in the battle of Matvey? Did we fail? No! Alvar Chechen did not succeed to the throne, and the election results did not come out. We did not have any chance. Let's think about it. Our king Jan kachmidge and Carl x were close to each other at that time, Even Carl X had an advantage, but in the end, isn't it still our kind monarch who became king? "

It's Jan sobesky.

At this time, she and Natalie were walking in side by side.

Unlike Natalie, who was full of worries, Jan sobesky was full of fighting spirit, as if everything that happened in the church had never happened.

"But... But public opinion," whispered a staff member.

"There is no public opinion." Jan sobesky cast a sharp glance at the staff officer. "Most people are ignorant. They are always blinded by what they see and don't know what this country really needs. That's why we need people who are sensible and have a big picture to guide them."

Then, like a commander, Jan sobesky ordered the staff to do things.

"Bisusky, you go to Henrik pototsky. Please make sure he persuades the rest of the pototsky family to take our side."

"Dominic, you go... No matter where you go, you go wherever there are many nobles to publicize the glorious achievements of Duke Dangan and his father Prince condai."

"Mikhail, you go find Anjie kemitz. He has a reputation and weight among the nobles. You ask him to contact the nobles who are close to him as much as possible and leave them with us."

······

Jan sobesky gave instructions one by one, but these instructions were mostly old-fashioned and had little new ideas. Although the staff officers named by Jan sobesky did not feel that they still had the hope of turning over, seeing that Jan sobesky was so full of fighting spirit, they did not have the heart to break the dream of the persistent Republic marshal, so they led out one by one.

After issuing the order, Jan sobesky and Natalie went up to the second floor. As soon as he entered the room, Jan sobesky slammed the door.

As soon as the door closed, Jan sobesky asked Natalie in a deep voice, "Natalie, do you still support being Duke Gan?"

Natalie was still worried, but when she heard Jan sobesky's question, the Baroness raised her head sharply.

"Of course," she said.

"Well," laughed Jan sobesky, "the situation has reached an extremely critical moment. I'm afraid we'll have to use our last move."

"Marshal, do you want to?" Natalie asked in a trembling voice.

She had a bad feeling.

Jan sobesky nodded slightly and said his last resort.

In the history of the "election of kings" of the Republic of Poland, there have been "two kings".

On October 3, 1575, because the later French King Henry III (the one who signed the Henry Treaty) could not be bound and gave up the Polish crown and fled back to France, the Archbishop of the Republic of Poland Jacob ushanski held a new parliament in Warsaw to discuss the candidate for the next king. Popular candidates at that time were Anna jageron, the sister of Sigismund II, Stefan bartore, the Archduke of Transylvania, and Maximilian II, the holy emperor of the Roman Empire.

In addition, King John III of Sweden and the great Polish nobleman Jan zemoyski are also candidates.

On November 8, 1575, the election officially began.

The senators of the Senate preferred to support Maximilian II, while the house of Representatives composed of small and medium-sized nobles preferred bartore and Anna. After a long war of words, on December 12, at the instigation of the Pope, ushanski unilaterally declared Maximilian II king of Poland. However, this move was immediately strongly opposed by the Polish aristocracy. The Polish aristocracy believed that Maximilian II could not really work for the benefit of the Federation of Poland, and his ruling focus could not be transferred from Shenluo to here. Therefore, bartore, who is more calm and shows good ruling skills, has won more and more support in the schlachta.

At this time, the great nobleman Jan zamoyski suggested that Stefan bartore marry Anna yageron, ten years older than him, in order to gain an overwhelming advantage. Stefan bartore agreed.

On April 18, batore and his entourage left Transylvania and entered Krakow. On May 1, he married Anna yagelon and was crowned king of Poland and Archduke of Lithuania.

When the cooked duck flies, Maximilian II will certainly not give up. He is ready to attack Stefan bartore through military action and put himself on the crown of the king of Poland.

As one of the greatest kings in Polish history, Stefan bartore was easy to defuse the offensive of Maximilian II.

Now, Chechen has an absolute advantage. If he wants Duke danggan to become king, he has no choice but to use force.

Jan sobelsky wants to put all his eggs in one basket, but Natalie has doubts.

After all, it was her husband; Moreover, the use of force to force Cherchen to withdraw from the election is a dangerous move. If not, an unprecedented civil war will break out in the Republic.

It's too risky now that the Ottoman Turkish Empire is under pressure and czar Russia is still eyeing the Republic.

"No, I can't." Natalie shook her head. "Marshal, the interests of the Republic outweigh everything."

Natalie's remark was intended to remind Jan sobelsky to be too persistent in letting Duke Dangan rise, but to focus on state affairs.

Jan sobesky said: "Natalie, you misunderstood. I know the serious consequences of the Republic falling into civil war, and I won't let this happen. I just want you to lead your troops to stop Cherchen on the day of announcing the election results, and I will invite bishop Krakow, who is close to me, to announce that Duke Dangan will become the king of Poland. Cherchen is not Maximilian II, and you are here, as long as he is silent He has only one way to give up when he becomes a boat. "

Natalie didn't expect Jan sobesky to do so, and his idea was clear, obviously not temporary.

Thinking about his "useless" orders downstairs, Natalie sighed at Jan sobesky's deep mind.

"Marshal," Natalie asked Jan sobesky to promise in an unprecedented manner, "you promised me that you would never hurt Chechen."

"I promise you, in the name of God," Jan sobesky promised.

After hearing Jan sobesky's promise, Natalie made up her mind.

"Well, I promise you," Natalie said with difficulty.

At the same time, Natalie kept telling herself that she did this not only for the country, but also for Chechen and their children.

Another conversation was also going on in the residence of the vishnewitsky family.

The conversation took place in the secret room of the residence, and only two people participated. They were Princess garisade and mihau kasimir patch.

Mikhail kasimir patch is a great nobleman of Lithuania and the main supporter of Princess garisade and Prince Mikhail. The initial contact between Mikhail kasimir patch and princess garisade began at the banquet in 1660. At that banquet, Mikhail kasimir patch's relatives were scolded as horses by Andrei konetpolski Later, after returning to the family, the member of the patch family hoped that mihau kasimir patch, as the patriarch, would seek justice for him.

Mihau kasimir patch immediately found Princess garisade, but after a conversation, they became good friends.

After that, Mikhail kasimir patch joined marshal lubaumatsky's camp and became a member of the old school.

In 1665, Pavel sapega, who was loyal to King Jan kazimiz, died. And the "great flood" It also led to the decline of the originally powerful Lithuanian sapega family and the raziweu family. With the decline of Protestant forces, a new group of Catholic aristocrats rose, typically the pachi family. By 1665, the pachi family was almost in a dominant position in Lithuania, and its influence even exceeded that of the raziweu family. The influence of the pachi family spread throughout the ruling class of Lithuania and made pottery The grand commander of Wan, governor of Werner, bishop and other important military and political positions were held by the patch family. In the battle of Matvey, the patch family sent 3000 troops and made great contributions to defeating the king.

The conversation with Jan sobesky and Natalie was the same, and the conversation between Princess galisade and Mikhail kasimir patch was also about Cherchen's upcoming election as king.

Compared with his family of short stature, mihau kasimir pachi is elegant. His face was square, his gray brown hair covered his eyebrows, and three strands of black beard floated without wind.

Princess garisade, wiping her tears with her handkerchief, complained to Mikhail kasimir patch: "Sir, it seems that we are still too simple. Since that hateful Cherchen risked blasphemy against the spirit of the mihau knight, he performed such a play in the church. Now all the middle and small nobles are interested in him. Prince mihau and I are afraid to disappoint you and the Yin Che hope and help of the Lithuanian princes."

Then she wiped her tears again.

Compared with the princess who seems to have given up hope, Mikhail Casimir patch is still happy. He comforted Princess jialiseide and said, "Your Highness, don't be pessimistic and desperate. Now the election results have not come out, and the winner is still unknown."

With that, Mikhail kasimir patch looked around again and asked, "where's your highness?"

"Mihaeu is in the room. He can't help himself because of aleval Chechen's evil deeds."

Mikhail kasimir patch nodded in understanding. But in his heart, the patriarch of the patch family was very sure that the angry Prince Mikhail could not himself on the belly of a maid at the moment.

However, it was only in this way that Mikhail vishnevsky could reassure himself. If the prince had not been like this, he would not have bothered to support the descendants of the hero.

After listening to what Mikhail kasimir patch said, she rekindled her hope. The princess has been around yanush raziweu, Jan kazimiz and lubomatsky for so many years, in order to make her son stand out, revive his father of the vishnewitsky family and become the king of Poland. Undoubtedly, it is the most glorious thing.

"Sir, is there anything else you can do?" asked Carrie hopefully.

She was well aware of the resourcefulness of Mikhail kasimir patch, who suggested the clever plan to remove boguslav from the candidates.

Mihau kasimir patch leaned back comfortably on the sofa with a smile on his face, as if he enjoyed the feeling of being asked for help by the princess.

After a while, he said, "there is a way, but the time is not ripe yet, and it will take a few more days to implement it. Therefore, your highness, relax and sit at home with the prince these days. I have everything."
