The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 679



But if it is only so, old Stanislaw pototsky may not be so angry. At most, he secretly scolds vigovsky as a madman. What made Stanislaw pototsky angry was that the shameless vigovsky cheated his trust with a friendly face in advance, and then went back after the Republic did its best to help him become a great chief. This made Stanislaw pototsky, who felt he had been teased and sold and was still counting money for others, unacceptable anyway.

At this time, the vigovs base station was up. He bent down and pushed the papers on the table in front of old lord Stanislaw pototsky.

He said to the old man, "Lord Stanislaw pototsky, I think you\'d better read this document carefully and calmly. I\'m sure you will agree with the conditions I mentioned in the document."

"No need." Stanislaw pototsky stood up. The old man supported the edge of the table with his hands and looked directly at vikovsky with angry eyes.

"Your Excellency, you failed to live up to the goodwill of the king and me, and pushed Ukraine back into the abyss of war. Moreover, you succeeded in turning me into a advocate."

With that, Stanislaw pototsky turned angrily and walked towards the door.

Witnessing Stanislaw pototsky\'s departure, vikovsky was still so unhurried. He bent down to take the papers on the table and began to read them. When Stanislaw pototsky came to the door and his hand had touched the door handle, vigovsky said, "Lord Stanislaw pototsky, why did you and King yankachmidge find me?"

Stanislaw pototsky did not answer this question. But his hand stopped and opened the door.

Vikovski didn\'t seem to want the old man to answer himself. He said to himself, "is it because I am a famous Pro Bosnian among Cossacks, so you think I will easily fall into your arms?"

Stanislaw pototsky did not look back. His lips opened slightly and said with regret, "indeed, but your Excellency has disappointed me and the king."

Vikovsky burst into laughter, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or at the mistakes of Stanislaw pototsky and King Jan kachmidge.

After laughing, he continued: "Your Excellency Stanislaw pototsky, I am indeed a famous Pro Polish faction in the Cossacks. Up to now, I do not deny my position of being close to the Republic, but I vigovsky is not a" traitor " , I have the same goal as Bogdan hemelinitsky, that is to seek benefits for the Cossacks and liberate the oppressed orthodox compatriots. Therefore, for this purpose, I can be pro Poland, pro Russia, pro Sweden, even the Crimean Khanate or Ottoman Turkey. "

Stanislaw pototsky knew something about vikovsky. This is an ideal pragmatist. And vikovski\'s last sentence, "I can kiss Poland, Russia, Sweden, even Crimean Khanate or Ottoman Turkey." also gave the old man some insight - obviously, compared with these countries, vikovski believed that the Republic of Poland was the best choice for the Cossacks.

The old man\'s hand left the door handle.

Although vigovsky could not see the old man Stanislaw pototsky\'s face, he knew that the old man must understand what he meant. He added: "Tsarist Russia is the worst choice, because Bogdan hemelinitsky once regarded the Tsar as an ally, while the Tsar regarded him as a slave. Moreover, they regarded the Cossacks as cannon fodder and paralyzed the people of Ukraine with the Orthodox Church; the of the kingdom of Sweden is indeed a good choice. Carl x is an enlightened and autocratic monarch, and he and we have We have a common enemy. However, Sweden is too far away from Ukraine to quench thirst. Moreover, the kingdom of Sweden has made too many enemies and is too busy for itself. "

"As for the Crimean Khanate or Ottoman Turkey, I believe you have learned the integrity of pagans many times," Stanislaw pototsky turned and said for vikovsky.

"That\'s true." vikovsky nodded approvingly.

"Then, since you know that Poland is the best choice for the Cossacks, why did you come up with such an agreement?" Stanislaw pototz asked.

The old man felt that vikovski said one thing and did another. It was a contradictory combination.

In this regard, vikovski explained: "what king Jan kazimiz and you have taken out is just a copy of the zporov agreement. How long do you think the peace between the Republic and Cossacks can be maintained now?"

Stanislaw pototsky was speechless for a moment. In fact, as vikovsky said, each agreement only brought peace to both sides for less than two years at most, followed by more tragic fighting and war.

The zporov agreement mentioned by vikovsky It was the first treaty signed between the Republic and the Cossacks after the hmelinitsky uprising, which was shortly after the end of the battle for the defence of zbalazh. However, it did not become a long-term and effective peace treaty because both sides were dissatisfied with the contents of the treaty. The Polish aristocracy believed that too many concessions had been given to the Cossacks, harming their interests. The upper Cossacks felt that these concessions were different from him The victories they have won are inconsistent. The most angry are the Ukrainian farmers, whose situation has hardly improved.

A year and a half later, the Polish nobleman marchin kalinoski led about 12000 people to raid the Cossack border town of krasney. Cossacks were caught off guard and defeated by the Polish army. Team leader Daniel niechai was killed. More than 10000 Cossacks died. The treaty ends here.

The second treaty between the two sides was the Treaty of betelkovi after the battle of berestecko. This treaty made almost all the concessions that the sarks had sought in the past go to naught, and the Polish aristocrats returned to their manors in Ukraine to continue to exploit the orthodox. It is conceivable that the treaty was maintained for less than half a year, and it was declared invalid with the comeback of khmelinitsky, who was supported by the Ukrainian people.

Seeing that Stanislaw pototsky did not speak, vikovski answered Stanislaw pototsky: "two years at most. Therefore, even if I sign such a treaty or agreement now, it will not be able to exchange long-term peace for us and you Poland."

This is a fact that Stanislaw pototsky cannot deny.

Vikovsky went to Stanislaw pototsky, and he handed the document to the old man again; "Your Excellency Stanislaw pototsky, if you go back and have a good look at this document, you will understand that if you sign this document, it will be a win-win situation. We Cossacks do not have to say; for you, the Cossack problem that has plagued the Republic for decades has been completely solved, and we can become the Khan between the Republic and tsarist Russia and Crimea A strong barrier between countries. The military strength of up to 60000 troops of zaporoze Cossacks will also significantly enhance your military strength. Poland and Cossacks turn enemies into friends. His majesty himself has obtained an armed group that is absolutely loyal to him, and the forces of the great nobles who are rebellious and despise the king have been weakened... And you have actually lost nothing And get more. "
