"It\'s not surrender, it\'s peace. Uncle Blair, don\'t you think too many people have died on both sides because of this war," Chechen explained.

But in Blair\'s view, there is no difference between negotiation and submission.

"Chechen," he said in great disappointment: "What do you think of Cossacks? Do you think Cossacks didn\'t want to be good citizens at the beginning? Yes! Cossacks are the worst. They don\'t work well at home, pray in church and work in noble mills. They even kill and set fire. These should be military affairs! But who made them like this? It\'s those nobles, it\'s theirs Rent collectors, those Jews. They all die! The exclusion of the Orthodox Church continues unabated, and there is no compensation for the wounded and disabled who fought for their country. They work wantonly, abuse women, and kill rebels. Old Hemei (Bogdan hemelinitsky) Isn\'t that the best example? When he was young, he fought for the Republic as a registered Cossack, was captured in the battle of sekola, and was imprisoned by pagans for two years before returning home - he was loyal enough; old heme knew Ukrainian, polish, Latin, Turkish and Tatar, and had a high command level and negotiation skills, and he came back very early Get the position of secretary of the Cossack team - he\'s talented enough. But just because he had a quarrel with the local Polish nobles, the latter seized his real estate and killed his young son while old Hemei was out. Old Hemei sued everywhere without results and was once arrested in prison. Even a loyal and talented person like old Hemei can\'t stay in Poland. What else can we expect? When it comes to peace, we used to Yes, but when the Polish nobles returned to their manor, they continued to exploit the orthodox believers and even hanged the peasants who had participated in the uprising to death. Many people were forced to leave their hometown and settle in the desolate areas bordering Russia in the East. What did you ask the Cossacks and Ukrainians to do? What should they do? Should they stay alone as those nobles said Be serfs of the nobles in your family? Just because their God arranged that they were born nobles, and we were born inferiors at the mercy of others. Bah! Damn it! Why should we make peace with the poles? Let them turn us into slaves again? You see that the women and girls are poor. Aren\'t they poor if they are abused wantonly by the nobles and lords of Poland "Freedom and survival. If you can\'t be free, what\'s the meaning of survival?"

Chechen was embarrassed. He didn\'t mean that. He quickly apologized to Blair and said, "sorry, uncle Blair. I didn\'t mean that, No."

Blair didn\'t accept Cherchen\'s apology. He turned around and his body was still twitching with excitement. He was sad that Cherchen misunderstood the Cossacks so much.

The more Blair did this, the more he felt sorry. He walked around to Blair, squatted down and said, "Uncle Blair, I know I was wrong. But I really don\'t think the Cossacks and Ukrainians should be slaves. Moreover, the king and old Stanislaw pototsky were sincere in this negotiation."

"Cherchen, I don\'t blame you." seeing that Cherchen apologized so seriously, Blair stopped choking and said: "Everyone who comes to Ukraine for the first time will think that this is a barbaric land at first sight. Yes, some of our ways are a little rough, but that\'s because this land has never been peaceful. And how did the previous Polish nobles treat us? In Ukrainian Ukraine, none of the government, courts, financial departments and colleges is Ukrainian, he said They forced Ukrainians to change their religion, closed Ukrainian universities, and did not allow them to teach in Latin or Greek, even in primary and secondary schools. There was no book printing office in Kiev to print books for Ukrainians and teach them to read and read. Can such people not be barbaric? Have you noticed that even heroes like my master Bao Hong do not know But Ukrainians have a heart like gold, and even more dust can\'t be covered up. If you stay long and have more contact with people here, you will find that they are no different from people in other parts of Europe, and even more hospitable and enthusiastic. "

Although Blair accepted Cherchen\'s apology, he obviously had no faith in Cherchen\'s sincerity about the king and old Stanislaw pototsky. Cherchen had to pause and say: "Uncle Blair, if the king and Lord Stanislaw pototsky give you Ukrainian government, courts, financial departments and colleges, free religious belief, Ukrainian own universities, allowing the use of Latin or Greek to teach Ukrainian literacy, and printing plants to print books for Ukrainians..."

"No!"

Before Cherchen finished, Blair interrupted Cherchen. His eyes were rarely full of hope: "do you know the content of the peace discussion? Will poles really be like this?"

"No, I mean if." Chechen shook his head.

"It\'s impossible. The poles will never give us this," Blair said disappointed.

Cherchen looked at Blair\'s disappointment, but he wondered - what if the peace brought by the king and old lord Stanislaw pototsky was such a peace?

Chechen, who wanted to do so, hurried to find old lord Stanislaw pototsky. At that time, Henrik pototsky and Duke konitsky were there. Regardless of others, Chechen asked the old man eagerly, "Sir, have you made a treaty of peace with the king?"

It is obviously impolite and nonstandard to ask the mission in public about the specific Treaty on peace negotiation. As soon as Cherchen\'s voice fell, Henrik pototsky immediately asked Cherchen discontentedly, "aleval, what are you doing with this?"

Chechen also realized that he was wrong. He apologized and spoke out his thoughts in public: "Lord Stanislaw, as well as Duke konitsky and Henrik pototsky, I want to say that if we can give Cossacks Ukrainian government, courts, financial departments and colleges, free religious belief, Ukrainian own universities, allow Ukrainians to teach literacy in Latin or Greek, and print books for Ukrainians Brush factory, I believe the Cossacks will be willing to accept the negotiation of the Republic. "

"Should we give them a crown and call them your majesty?" Duke konitsky sneered at Cherchen.

Obviously, Duke konitsky thought that Cherchen was nonsense. What\'s the difference between such conditions and betrayal? How can noble nobles work with Cossack clay legs in the government? Konitsky felt that he would be infected with the plague.

Stanislaw pototsky stared at Chechen since Chechen began to speak. When Duke konitsky finished, the old man said to Chechen lightly: "Chechen, the terms of peace have been finalized by your majesty and me, so you don\'t have to worry more."

With that, the old man closed his eyes and rested. This action announced the end of the conversation.

Chechen had no choice but to retreat.

But after a while, Stanislaw pototsky called Cherchen into the carriage.

Stanislaw pototsky called Cherchen into the carriage to pick up Cherchen. Along the way, Cherchen did too many things that made the old man dissatisfied. Now he is going to Kiev. The old man hopes Cherchen can be sensible and don\'t make trouble for himself.

"Cherchen, you are no longer a child. You should pay attention to your discretion in speaking and doing things in the future." Stanislaw pototsky\'s first sentence made Cherchen uneasy.

Seeing Chechen\'s embarrassment, the old man didn\'t stop complaining. He seemed to want to vent his resentment against Chechen all the way.

"It\'s your Majesty\'s intention to let you go. I don\'t agree. It\'s really inhumane that you just made up with Natalie and separated you in such a hurry. But Queen ludwiga thinks it\'s a good opportunity to experience you. Although you have outstanding military achievements, you have no experience in politics. The queen hopes that you can grow and better in the future The queen did not hesitate to ask for a noble title for your Fatima. "

Hearing these words that he had never known before, Chechen blushed to the root of his neck, and he became more and more restless.

"Old man, I was a little rash just now." Chechen apologized.

But who knows, Stanislaw pototsky knocked hard on the base of the carriage with a silver crutch. He said, "I didn\'t say that. Although it\'s also one of your mistakes. You have long recalled how many things you did wrong, from releasing the prisoners of the Cossacks to beating Duke konitsky to hooking up with that Blair!"

Being so scolded by Stanislaw pototsky, as if everything was wrong, Cherchen was a little dissatisfied.

"My Lord!" Chechen protested, "I admit that I was wrong to beat Duke konitsky, but I don\'t think I was wrong about the other two things. Especially with Uncle Blair, he is a good Cossack. Besides, didn\'t you let me contact brother Bao Hong? Uncle Blair is a close confidant of brother Bao Hong."

Stanislaw pototsky snorted angrily when Chechen ran into him with his words, but he did say it himself, and Chechen seemed to have no problem doing so.

"Let\'s not mention Blair." boss humanitarian: "let\'s talk about your private release of prisoners. Now there are only two of us in the car. I can tell you that I also strongly disapprove of the atrocities committed by the armored Cossacks and dragon cavalry against the Cossacks. I should praise your kindness, because this is the most valuable character in the world."

Just like most compliments have a turning point in the end, the old man began to criticize Chechen with "but" after praising Chechen.

"But you let the prisoners go. It\'s really rash. You only see the dozens of lives you saved in front of you, but you forget how much resistance it will cause to the peace talks once they tell the news of prisoner abuse. How will those diehard Cossacks who hate the Republic, Russians and Swedes stir up trouble and stir up trouble Cossacks are at war with us. There will be tens of thousands of dead and wounded. Have you ever thought about this? "

"I have." Chechen replied without thinking.

This answer was completely beyond the expectation of old lord Stanislaw pototsky, who stared wide and stunned.

"What? Say it again." the old man didn\'t hear what Chechen was saying. He just couldn\'t believe it.

Cherchen secretly scolds himself for being outspoken. Cherchen also realizes that Stanislaw pototsky\'s excitement has been led to the critical point by his words. In order to appease the old man, he immediately conceals his true thoughts and gives a rational explanation: "My Lord, in fact, it is impossible for you to hope that the massacre will not be spread. We did not completely annihilate commander Ivan mahra\'s troops, and Blair found the valley the next day. Think about what Blair would do to the whole mission if he saw the bodies of dozens of murdered Cossacks? We release the prisoners, and they are grateful to us."

Cherchen\'s explanation was reasonable, and Stanislaw pototsky realized that he was only looking at the long term.

Indeed, if the prisoners had died in their own hands, it is self-evident what Blair and his Cossacks would have done. At that time, I\'m afraid everyone else will have to be in a different place except Cherchen.

"Even if you\'re right," Stanislaw pototsky admitted reluctantly.

Chechen breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said to the boss, "in that case, old man, I can get off."

Chechen is in a hurry to leave now. Facing the preaching Stanislaw pototsky alone, Cherchen was on pins and needles every minute.

But the old man didn\'t mean to let Chechen go. He told Cherchen not to hurry, and then asked, "what you said before is to give Cossacks the government, courts, financial departments and colleges, free religion, universities and so on. Is this your idea or who told you?"

"It\'s my own summary," said Chechen.

Then, Cherchen spoke of Blair\'s complaint.

"Oh."

Stanislaw pototsky was not interested in this. He thought it was Bao Hong\'s meaning.

"Probably not."

Cherchen thinks it should be just Blair\'s own complaint.

"I see."

Stanislaw pototsky was relieved. Because if Baohong\'s high-level Cossacks want so much, I\'m afraid the treaty drawn up by the king and himself is really difficult to meet.

But if it\'s just an ordinary Cossack\'s delusion, it\'s another matter.

After that, the mission continued to move forward, and they finally arrived at the foot of Kiev on the afternoon of July 26.
