The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 617
After Stanislaw pototsky introduced the three men and their basic information, King Jan kazimiz said, "then it is the best choice for the Republic to let Ivan vikovsky succeed."
Stanislaw pototsky nodded in agreement: "indeed. Wigowski is the most favorable candidate for us, followed by Bao Hong, but it must not be hilko."
It must not be hilko of Pro tsarist Russia. Because the Republic can fight with the Cossacks for Ukraine for ten or twenty years, but it will never tolerate Ukraine falling into the hands of Czar Russia.
"You\'re right, so have our people contacted vikovski?" asked King Jan kazimizh.
"No," Stanislaw pototsky said frankly, "Your Majesty, if you agree, I hope to go to Kiev in person to contact Ivan vigovsky in the name of visiting Bogdan hemelinitsky\'s condition."
Hearing that Stanislaw pototsky was going to Kiev, King Jan kazimiz was really shocked. The attitude of the Cossacks towards the nobility is well known. They don\'t care about chivalry - if there are knights in the mud legs. Almost all Polish nobles who fell into the hands of Cossacks were cut open and tortured to death, and those noble girls were reduced to their playthings and suffered from bullying and adultery.
Moreover, even with the status of peace negotiator, it is not absolutely safe in Ukraine. Adam kisher is a living example. The Ukrainian blood clan, who successfully mediated in the Cossack uprising in 1637, and later recruited 4000 registered Cossacks from non registered Cossacks, can be described as the benefactor of Cossacks. However, in 1649, during the negotiations with hemelinitsky, the old man was still threatened by the mob and lower Cossacks, and some even jokingly grabbed his beard. Adam kisher, who was deeply humiliated, died on May 3, 1653 because of the failure of the peace talks.
Stanislaw pototsky comes from the pototsky family, which is one of the Polish noble families hated by the Cossacks. King Jan kazimiz can\'t imagine what treatment Stanislaw pototsky will receive when he goes to Ukraine.
He has lost a yanush kishka and can no longer lose Stanislaw pototsky.
King Jan kazimiz\'s worry Stanislaw pototsky was in his eyes, but ************************************************************************. Moreover, he did not think that Bogdan hemelinitsky would be bad for himself.
To reassure King Jan kazimiz, Stanislaw pototsky said: "Your Majesty, although Bogdan hemelinitsky is arrogant, he is not a fool. In fact, hemelinitsky is very measured in a sense. Although Adam Kirchner and other members of the mission were threatened and insulted by the mob and lower Cossacks, their lives were always preserved. And I heard that hemelinitsky After the Czar Russia knew about the private contact between Kiev and the king of Sweden, the Czar in Moscow sent envoys to ask him guilt. Now he is offending the Czar Russia and threatened by the Crimean khanate, and Carl x is unable to give him substantive support. At this time, I will send you to Kiev on behalf of your majesty. He will never dare to touch me. "
"That\'s what I said, but in case..." King Jan kazimiz knew that Stanislaw was right, but he was still worried about accidents. After all, Stanislaw was his own Minister, and his importance could not be replaced.
"Your majesty!" Stanislaw pototsky cried out when he saw that the king was still hesitating: "Ukraine is the Achilles heel of the Republic, while the Cossack is a double-edged sword in the hands of the king. In the era of the former King Stefan bartore, our relationship with the Cossacks was benign. However, with the further decline of the Polish kingship in the hands of your father Sigismund III Vasa, especially the loss of control over the great nobles of Ukraine, Ukraine has almost become a certain country The small kingdoms of some wealthy and noble families in Poland, who acted recklessly and continued to oppress the lower orthodox farmers and Cossacks, led to the growing dissatisfaction of the lower class. Of course, there were also people from my family. After the death of gatman Pedro, the situation gradually lost control. Five small-scale riots were the manifestation of the critical point of the tolerance of the Cossack group, but we were too proud and arrogant Proud of our military strength, the nobles were intoxicated with the military victory and the success of suppressing the riots. They were not aware of the fatal hidden dangers behind the incident, nor could they eliminate the political root causes behind the riots. In particular, after the suppression of the uprising, the number of Cossacks in the book was reduced, which further exacerbated the contradictions between the two sides. By the time hemelinitsky was forced to rebel, the situation in Ukraine was not bad No matter how bad it can be. Your brother wadiswaff IV was aware of this. He himself sympathized with the Cossacks and regarded them as a powerful alliance to realize the dream of strengthening kingship. The war between the Ottoman Empire and Venice in 1645 was an opportunity. If the war was won, it would strengthen his monarchy and his son\'s right to inherit the throne. However, Parliament Hearing the news ahead of time, he disbanded the army and forced him to make a commitment. Later, your brother made a private deal with the Cossacks: as long as the Cossacks helped provoke the conflict with the Crimean Tatars, your brother would increase their registered number to 12000 and grant the Cossacks the power of near autonomy. But the best of both worlds plan finally died We have also lost the last chance for a peaceful solution. Over the years, we have been fighting and stopping with the Cossacks. In fact, we have been engaged in a zero sum game. It drained the blood of the Republic and Ukraine, but benefited Sweden and czar Russia. I believe those upper moderate people in Cossacks can see this. I am the minister most trusted by you, vigov Skey knows that other moderate Cossacks also know that only when I go to Ukraine on behalf of you can I express the greatest goodwill of the Republic to them. Moreover, now Bogdan hemelinitsky is seriously ill, and the power holders of Czar Russia, the kingdom of Sweden and the Crimean Khanate will certainly not be indifferent. They must also send their most capable ministers to do what we want I am familiar with the ministers responsible for foreign affairs of the three countries, and only I can defeat them one by one. "
