Chapter 64 The Leading Party in Poland
Inside the castle, which had a relatively friendly atmosphere, there was a constant sound of swords being unsheathed, but it was still not eye-catching enough for Assassin. Two arms stretched out Hidden Blades, which was a complete replica of Assassin's Creed!
Our group of subordinates have been bad guys enough, and now it was Tzimiszia's turn to show in front of the two trembling local snakes with an unfathomable smile that these people understand the importance and can be trusted.
The local snakes also said that it was a misunderstanding. In order to show their loyalty to the empire, the grain and carriages lent were only half the price.
In fact, we all know how those small groups of cavalry would run around without their instructions.
These local snakes are still the tip of the iceberg, but there are some people who are more knowledgeable. The next day, several landowners' heirs listened to their father's instructions and joined the leading party with their cavalry to guard the homes and courtyards.
The empire greatly appreciated these activists who led the way. Uncle Zhimiszia rewarded them with several large bags of Orei gold coins with the intention of buying horse bones for a thousand gold. After that, I got the solution to this series of problems.
Of course, I am still the deputy, and Uncle Zhimiszia sent someone to take the blame.
After the seventh day, several Polish leaders who had been working at the front rode up from the front with ugly faces and walked toward me, the person in charge.
"Sir, the Siegmund family is leading a large group of people to welcome you."
"Welcome? Come on, take us to see you."
Not far away, more than 300 cavalrymen were blocking the road in a dark crowd. A few of them wore slightly brighter clothes and held the flag of a family. The rest were dressed in a mess, but at least everyone was riding a horse.
Horse, with a weapon slung around his waist.
The leader's eyes were high above his head, and he could smell the unruly aura from a distance. Looking at him, it didn't look like he was welcoming him, but that he was coming to show off his power.
"They are Ukrainians, but the Zigmund family is Catholic!" said the Leading Party.
Poland is geographically located in central and eastern Europe, between Russia in Eastern Europe and Germany in Central Europe. Because of this geographical location, it is between the two major ethnic groups of Russia and Germany, plus various ethnic groups in history.
Due to mutual migration, Poland has become a multi-ethnic country. Poles mainly live in the Greater Poland region and the central Warsaw region, which is the center of Poland. A large number of Germans and Jews live in the northern Polish corridor, while Ukrainians and Belarusians
Concentrated in the east and south.
The ethnic composition of the United Kingdom is relatively complex, and the religious chaos brought about by complex ethnic groups is another reason for Poland's decline, but the most important reason is the Polish aristocracy.
In this Eastern European country, on this Eastern European plain where Orthodox Christianity is generally believed, Poland is a Catholic country, and this is only because the Polish nobles are Catholic believers. Like Ukrainians and Belarusians of Russian origin, they are all Orthodox Christians. The Polish nobles are
To maintain its authoritarian status and ensure the stability of its rule, it established Catholicism as the state religion of Poland in the 15th century, and stipulated that only Catholic believers had the right to hold public offices, and those who did not follow had no right to hold any public office in the Polish state, thus forcing many Belarusians to
Most immigrants such as people, Ukrainians and Germans gave up their original religious beliefs and converted to Catholicism.
The Habsburgs forced Germany to convert to Christianity, triggering the Thirty Years' War, and the Spanish royal family forced the Netherlands to convert to Christianity, triggering the Eighty Years' War. The Polish nobles' separation from the masses naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among many Belarussians and Ukrainians. For this reason, they
There have been many uprisings. The uprising has not ended since it started. It is very interesting that the Sigismund family is a Catholic in their hometown of Ukraine.
The leading party went over to negotiate, and a rugged nobleman wearing animal skins rode out. The leading party came back and said that the other party wanted to come out and talk to me. The two of us left the team and each brought an entourage. I chose
He came to Assassin and gave instructions.
"Wait a minute, no matter what happens, don't make a sound or react."
The two sides walked half way and met in the middle.
"My lord, deputy military officer, this is Lord Siegmund, the son of Lord Baron Siegmund, little Lord Siegmund."
"Little Lord Siegmund, this is the deputy military officer in charge of negotiations from the Roman Empire."
A Polish guide introduced the two of us.
"You look weak, like a girl. Any of the girls here could beat you to death."
This Polish nobleman was very disrespectful upon meeting him.
"Hey!" The Pole who was leading the way couldn't help but smile.
"Shut up, bastard, you have no right to speak here." Little Siegmund pointed his finger at the group of cavalry behind him, "See?"
Little Siegmund's eyes were very contemptuous: "That's our army. That's the army, not the ones like you who are so glamorous that they probably haven't even rolled over a pile of mud. They are all real soldiers! Do you want it?
?”
A group of horse thieves who can fight alone is also called an army?
I stared straight at this Polish Ukrainian aristocrat. We all lived in the eighteenth century, but this group of horse thieves looked like they came from the Middle Ages.
"What you see in front of you is only part of it!" Little Siegmund smiled triumphantly, as if I had shocked his army. "If you agree to our request, our army will join your side.
"
"This is different from the agreement! This is not the agreement reached between the Parliament and the Roman Empire!" the Polish Leading Party shouted in panic.
Bang, he was slapped and fell directly off the horse.
"Fuck the parliament, it doesn't care about the affairs of our Siegmund family. Listen, Romans, our Siegmund family is the owner of this thirty-mile radius land. If you want us to be loyal, yes! We
I will support you! But in this land, the Siegmund family is the owner here! The Roman Empire cannot represent the Siegmund family! We will not pay taxes! The serfs we own belong to the private property of the Siegmund family.
! The Siegmund family has the right to form an army! The officials you appoint are not qualified to enter our land and manage anyone or anything! Caravans and convoys entering and leaving the territory of the Siegmund family must pay taxes to the Siegmund family
!Also, the Siegmund family has gained control over the towns of Riga, Vistula, and Oder. You must recognize our ownership of these three places! In the grain trade, Siegmund must
We offer price concessions.”
Do not pay taxes and have money to form an army. This is the original rule of the old Kingdom of Poland. Imperial officials cannot enter their territory. This should be done by the Siegmund family to strengthen territorial control. As for caravans coming in and out, paying money, buying and selling
Subsidy and recognition of the control of several small towns are directly extortion. Listening to this series of conditions, which are basically a lion's mouth, I wonder what gave this nobleman such boldness and arrogance.
"Listen up, those cowards by the sea are nothing! Without the support of nobles like us, you can't stand firm on this land. With our support, you can truly own this land! As a
In return, we will maintain local security for you and send troops to help you when you are at war."
Looking at the lone row of cavalry behind me, I neither wanted to agree nor immediately attack: "Can I come to your house to see you?"
"Of course." The unruly Polish nobleman with his nostrils turned upward became even more complacent. He grabbed his hand directly on my military uniform and said, "Your clothes are good. When you get to my house, take off your clothes and give them to me."
Poland is such a magical country. The party leading the way has done this, and I have truly learned the lesson: "Lead the way from the front."
While the Polish noble turned around, I secretly made a gesture to Assassin, asking her to call over the two battalions of chasseurs and my cuirassiers who were spilling out nearby. Unexpectedly, this guy was actually snickering, and I turned
I rolled my eyes, I will punish her severely later!
I asked the guards behind me to come up, and I asked the three of them to go back and tell Uncle Zhimiszia, and then I followed little Siegmund who led the way towards his lair.
The Siegmund family is considered a powerful force in this area. Little Siegmund and his so-called cavalry led the way, while I slowed down my horse speed and slowly waited for my cavalry to gather.
Leaving the avenue and walking into the loess path, Siegmund said that starting from here is their family's land. A small river spreads into the distance through Siegmund's farmland. At the end, a castle with a dark outline is obviously there.
It is the family's nest.
The sound of horse hooves broke through the peaceful rural scenery. After a while, many black figures appeared in the distance, and soon some larger black figures moved towards us.
There are cavalrymen from the Siegmund family and several cavalrymen holding other flags, but their scale is relatively small, with only about twenty or thirty people in number.
After showing off their military power, are they also showing their prestige in the nearby area?
"Hey, why do you lame Romans walk so slowly? Hahaha, it's not that you can't even ride a horse, but can't you run?" Little Sigismund walked to our left and right like a joy, "No wonder you guys
After fighting the pagans in the south for so long, with such poor riding skills, even women may not be able to ride well, hahaha...! Men like us, Ukrainian men, can gallop freely even without using their hands to control the horses. Look at it.
! It took us less than a few decades to defeat the Mongols."
"I heard that your Roman women are very beautiful. You should all have some in your army. Give us a few tonight and return them to you the next day. By the way, you look good. Your sister,
My cousins are probably not far behind. Let’s discuss a time. I’ll go to your house when I have time, and you can bring them all out for me to choose. Anyway, I don’t have a wife, and I just need a famous Roman noblewoman.
.There are some friends and brothers in my family who don’t have wives either, so I will marry them together when the time comes.”
"Then we also get things done together! Hahaha."
