"Then we..."

Duke Sobeski glanced at the anxious nephew and shook his head: "We are going to wait for the outcome of this battle, children, and at the same time, we can get a lot from this process." He knew why this nephew was so attentive, and the Austrian bribes had already fed him--who was not disappointed with the ambition of this young man, who dared not have imagined the day of sitting on the throne of the king, especially those who were inferior to Louis XIV and Leopold I, who had not yet been born, and the crown and scepter were prepared for them.

And they also had to use money, land, war horses under their crotch, swords and swords to fight for it. When he decided to lead the army to turn to Lviv, was there no resentment towards Louis XIV? His mother was the daughter rather than a son of the commander of the Polish Grand Prix, and his territory and castle were also obtained through marriage. His glory was based on his merits. Louis XIV seemed to have left him a choice, but he knew that he could walk only one way.

At that time, if he insisted on returning to Warsaw, even if he could become a king of Poland, what would it be for a king without the love and trust of the people and soldiers? Can he reform the king-selecting system? Or can he control the bishops and nobles? Or should he ask Schrachita to serve him? He could do nothing. He could only return to Lviv, so that the Polish people would at least have their Duke Sobesky, a hero against the pagans.

When he was in Lviv, he had worried, what if the French Prince Condé was not as open and upright as people said? After all, he was also a person who had competed for the throne with his relatives. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, two messengers rushed to the front. The first messenger sent the news that the Great Condé had become the king of Poland, and the second messenger came that the Polish king Ludwig I was about to lead his army to rescue.

To be honest, Sobesky was full of gratitude and a little unbelievable at that time, but in fact, the new Polish king put on his crown and put on his armor. There was no banquet, no parade, and even the Mass was held in the absence of the king. He led the famous dragon cavalry after the Battle of the Lowlands, and ran day and night, and arrived in Lviv in less than a week.

Not to mention that these five or six days were too long - it only took thirteen hours to take the train from Warsaw to Lviv, but not to mention that there was almost no access to the road from Warsaw to Lviv at that time, Ludwig I and his army had to pass through many battlefields and battlefields by Ottoman Turks, as well as the territories of the great Polish nobles. Fighting and negotiations were always the most time-consuming - at least after the messenger left, Sobesky's most optimistic estimate was two weeks, and even a month he had nothing to blame.

At that time, even Sobesky's personal guards, even the Sobesky people, couldn't help but stand up and shout the name of Dakongde when they saw the flying blue-bottomed gold lily flag.

There is another funny thing to say, that is, the pronunciation of Condé is similar to Kant in Polish, and some Tatars and Cossacks mistakenly listen to Cornwalls. In Polish, this is a common and convenient vulgar term, which roughly means to greet your maternal relatives and is very popular, so they also shouted: "Cornwall! Cornwall!"

It's not their fault, because in Poland, a noble generally has two ways to show his identity. One is the heraldry that people are familiar with, and the other is the slogans they shout during battles. Each family is different. It's like their heraldry, like a hail, a blade, a devil, and a simple gift that makes people feel cold all over their bodies after hearing it.

After Ludwig I and Sobesky drove out the Ottoman Turks in Lvivri together, Ludwig I told Sobesky that he intended to define his family's battle slogan as "Beast Mouth", which is also somewhat related, because the Kongde family is the side branch of the Bourbon family, and the Bourbon's emblem is a blue-bottomed gold lily. The Kongde family cannot use the same one, so on the blue-bottomed gold lily, they painted a red oblique stripe. In heraldic emblem, the red is de       gueules. In French, gueules usually refer to the mouth of animals. Of course, this is a very suitable and brave slogan.

Then as soon as they walked out of the tent, they heard the earth-shaking "Cornwall! Cornwall!! Cornwall!!!"

...

Although Ludwig I corrected this wrong concept as much as possible afterwards, but it made a deep impression on people... When he thought of this, Sobesky burst into laughter. His nephew also thought of it - especially the upcoming war, and only hoped that the French and Austrians would not understand Polish.

After laughing, Duke Sobesky patted his nephew's shoulder: "That's it," he said affectionately: "Even the Tatars know that good things are the most valuable when they are held in their hands. Let others see your eagerness, and it will only dust the treasures. Moreover, this is just the beginning, and no one knows what will happen in the future."

The French Grand Condor, who brought his eldest son to Poland, left his grandson in Versailles, even exchanged his full support with the French king with his hereditary territory and title. Everyone knew that he was not here to be the king of Poland. Louis XIV and Grand Condor both intended to let Bourbon's blood pass on in Poland for a long time.

But for those great Polish nobles and those Schrachita MPs, would they be willing? No, they would not, and not to mention how many benefits the so-called "monarchs" with different nationalities can bring them, they also long to become people on the throne one day - it can be said that Poland is now a reduced Holy Roman Empire. You can ask those electors if they are willing to give up their power?

Moreover, once Poland has an orthodox king, he must do his best to reduce the territory and power of the great nobles, consolidate and expand the royal power, even if the great nobles converted several times, they can safely pass on more than ten generations, or even expand increasingly. Will they be willing to have such a king?

So Sobesky was not interested in the olive branch that Leopold I had submitted. At least Louis XIV would use gold, Louis Silver, to buy his wheat. Did Leopold I really treat himself as the Roman emperor? He intended to incite his ambitions with just one letter? Of course, he had ambition, but it was precisely because of his ambition that he had to rest and rest first, build his foundation, and then go back to consider the future. Dakong Dai was born in 21 years, he was born in 29 years, and he still had time.

When Duke Sobesky thought of this, he ordered his nephew to ask whether Ludwig I had returned from King Louis XIV of France. A few minutes later, his nephew told him that Ludwig I had not left Louis XIV's castle, and looked at the sky and was likely to have dinner or even stay overnight. Duke Sobesky immediately showed a toothache look, muttering "These sissy Frenchmen", while shaking his head back into the tent.

There is no reason why Leopold I chose Camniko as the gathering place for the coalition forces. Not to mention that this city is a big city in Slovenia, behind it is the Alps, and on one side is the famous Vilikapurani Heights, about two or three miles away from Camniko. This highland has been the largest herders' settlement in Europa for more than a thousand years. You can imagine how vast it is, and it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. The lush grass here can also provide war horses and cattle herds, and livestock and dairy products like clouds can also alleviate the pressure on military demand.

When Ludwig I got up from the long-lost bed, it was a bit like a dream. To be fair, the conditions in Warsaw were not only inferior to Versailles, but even Paris. When he first stayed in the Old Palace in Warsaw, he even guessed in his heart whether John II, who retired to the French monastery, had a better living conditions than himself? After all, when the king's craftsmen invented the toilet, no one expected that the priests in the monastery would be more enthusiastic than the noble ladies in the boudoir - they also like showers, bathtubs and tap water pipes, but think about it, many monasteries can be traced back to the ancient Roman period, when the washing facilities, whether they were watering or draining, were more complete than the new buildings afterwards.

As soon as he woke up, a personal servant came forward to serve. When Ludwig I was not holding a basin, he could not react, but he immediately remembered that although Louis XIV had entered the city five days ago, his engineering team arrived a month ago, and they did not do anything unnecessary, just like a group of busy worker bees to transform the castle that Louis XIV was scheduled to be transformed.

So there is a fully equipped bathroom like Versailles.

While sighing, Ludwig I leaned into the hot bath, he asked his personal servant whether anyone had come to send a message from the French king to arrange today's meeting. The personal servant replied that Mr. Bontang had come to tell them early in the morning that His Majesty hoped to have dinner with Ludwig I. Before that, His Majesty Ludwig I should have a good rest and calm his body and mind.

Originally, Ludwig I was going to talk to Louis XIV yesterday, after all, the next thing was urgent, but Louis was shocked when he saw his haggard face and all white hair, and quickly asked the doctors and monks around him to check his body. Mainly, Ludwig I had never had a good rest in the past few days. He and Duke Sobesky treated the Cossacks and Tatars well. Although it was a good thing for Poland and other Catholic countries, it caused some dissatisfaction among some great nobles. He told him that this was purely guilty, because they had tried to intercept the military expenditure of the Tatars and triggered the rebellion of the Tatars.

The problem is that Ludwig I can't do anything to them yet. He now deeply understands how Louis XIV faced himself during the first catapult riot. Maybe he should really say retribution... "I remember there should be a gold necklace inlaid with amber inlaid in my luggage, right?" he asked, "Send it to Mr. Bontang."

The attendant hesitated for a moment: "To Mr. Bangtang?"

Who is Bontang? The first personal servant beside the King of France, some people joked that he was the one who had been with Louis XIV for the longest time, better than the queen and the royal wife - he was the first and last level beside Louis XIV, and countless people bowed down in order to make him say something in front of the king, and looked ugly. Unfortunately, not many people could make this overly cautious servant general speak for him.

It is precisely because of this caution that he attracted many people's jealousy and hatred. At least when Ludwig I was Prince Condé, he heard such a joke. People said that Mr. Bontang would always say to those who asked him to do things: "I will report to the king, I will report to the king..." Over time, this sentence became a perfunctory cliché, so that when a monastery president asked him what time it was, Mr. Bontang was also saying--"I will report to the king, I will report to the king..."

But as long as someone who has a little knowledge of the situation around Louis XIV will know that Mr. Bontang has always maintained the silence and humility that a personal servant should have. He will not promise anyone that he would report to the king, and it would be fine if others questioned him. If it is suspected that Louis XIV intends to alienate or punish them, it would be bad that he would not respond - they said so just to ridicule and attack Bontang.

"But your Majesty," asked Ludwig I's servant, "will he accept it?"

"Yes." Ludwig I said kindly: "Bonton to His Majesty," he naturally called Louis XIV this: "It is like a trusted friend and relative, not a bribe, but a gift, and His Majesty will be happy about it."

Ludwig I was right. After receiving the gift, Bontang immediately came and told Louis that Louis admired the heavy amber necklace. The Polish city of Tansco is rich in amber. The amber on this necklace was polished into a square shape as big as a thumb, showing a translucent golden yellow, which is indescribable.

"Since it's a gift for you," said Louis: "You just accept it, Bontang."

"But this is too expensive."

"I have a whole box of similar amber here, Bontang, all of which are gifts from Ludwig I."

"But you are the king..."
