The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 177: Lonely
The news that Mihavu, Anjay and others escaped can be said to be the third unfortunate news that Prince Yanush has received. Earlier, a letter from the culinary officer of the inner court was presented to Yanush.
This inner court culinary officer was also surnamed Laziviu, and was the distant family member of Prince Yanush. Before Prince Yanush took refuge in the Kingdom of Sweden, he also wrote to his relative many times, inviting him to come to Miatersk to "discuss big plans." But they were all put off by the inner court catering officer because of his busy schedule.
The phrase "busy on official business" is really not an excuse. Mihav Kazimierz Laziviu, who is also the Inner Court catering officer, stayed there after the fall of Swutsk and other places and did not evacuate with the army. Relying on his military exploits and the local prestige of the Laziviu family, he successfully organized a volunteer army. This volunteer army has repeatedly attacked transport teams and barracks in Tsarist Russia and punished those traitors. It has a small reputation in the occupied areas.
After the "traitor dinner", Yanush wrote again to the inner court culinary officer. In the letter, Yanush stated his compulsion and his original intention to save the mountains and rivers from being broken, and once again urged the inner court culinary officer to come to Miatelsk.
This letter is obviously a reply from the Inner Court Royal Dining Officer. And when this letter arrived, it happened that Prince Yanush was about to leave Miatersk for Werna.
Due to tension, Prince Yanush’s paper-cutting knife took three times to insert the envelope and cut it smoothly. The content of the letter is written like this:
May God bless our family, and your Royal Highness, you will be able to repent in time, and stop these plots that will bring eternal humiliation and eternal humiliation to the Laziviu family. I also know and empathize with the unfair treatment of the Laziviu family and His Royal Highness in Parliament in recent years. I have spoken out in Congress and the Provincial Assembly more than once that we should treat our beliefs equally. But I would never agree with the Prince's move. The mountains and rivers are broken, our warriors should take prancing horses and swords and serve the battlefield as their own responsibility, and they are by no means brothers Yan Qiang who are trying to seek selfishness. His Royal Highness, please think about the outstanding honor and innocent reputation of the ancestors and ancestors, and the timely rein in the cliff. Please look at His Royal Highness for the sake of God, and do so. In addition, the enemy has surrounded me near Nesvizh. I wonder if this letter can be delivered to your prince.
Although I face the threat of death at all times, all I can think about is how to stop His Royal Highness’s conspiracy and bring His Royal Highness’s supreme power to the right path. Your Royal Highness, even if the evil has been done, it's not too late to know that you are lost. If this letter can make His Royal Highness awaken, then I will be dead, and I can also smile; also, His Royal Highness will not send soldiers to help me out. The enemy is powerful, and the priority should be to preserve my strength at this moment. If His Royal Highness still can't change his mind, then if I'm lucky enough to survive, I will join the deputy commander of Sapega and meet His Royal Highness on the battlefield. At that time, there will always be a Laziviu meeting blood-stained on the battlefield.
Don't say it is unpredictable. May God make a ruling on His Royal Highness.
Mihav Kazimierz Raziviu
Domestic Court Clerk of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Yanush finished reading the letter and put it on the table. He smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "Another person I trust has betrayed me, just because I stick to my beliefs, hoping to shine on the lintel, and add another crown to the Laziviu family. Fortunately, I There is also Boguslav, as well as King Karl X, as well as the elector, and..."
Prince Yanush still wanted to calculate, but he suddenly found that his supporters were not even close enough. The prince was tight in his chest, and the pain that had been healed by Sarban's treatment recurred again. He covered his chest with his hands, and the big beads of sweat dripped continuously, hitting the desk like a dropped pearl.
Yanush's convulsive hand wanted to touch the brass bell on the table, which was his tool for summoning servants. But the moment he touched the handle of the brass bell with his finger, he suddenly retracted it.
"No, I can't let people see what I look like now. That will only make more people leave me" Prince Yanush thought to himself.
When I thought of this, Yanush seemed to have a wave of energy rising in his body. The energy seemed to slowly suppress the pain in his chest. The prince straightened up, the sweat on his forehead gradually evaporated, and his chest no longer hurts so much.
At this time, a high-ranking servant walked open the door and walked in. The servant said as he walked: "His Royal Highness, I didn't intend to disturb you, but this matter is indeed urgent."
The servant walked up to Yanush and handed a paperwork to the prince. The paper is very rough, and it looks like it was used by little nobles and citizens.
Yanush brought the document in front of him, and it was sent back by the spies he sent to the deputy commander of Sapega. In the document, the spies described in detail the situation in Sapega in Vizh: the second Lithuanian figure who had accepted his fate in Kazimierz contributed all his assets ~lightnovelpub.net~ even him The brass buttons on the underwear were all buttoned down to exchange for military resources. Sapega sent envoys to all towns and villages in Lithuania. These envoys hung up wicker branches in front of the churches and parliament gates, and informed all the nobles and veterans who saw wicker branches to go to Vizha Join him and fight against the traitors together.
The spies also said that in just two days, more than 20,000 people brought their weapons and supplies to Viri, and Viri is now full of gongs and drums, and flags cover the sun. In addition, many of the supplies brought by those people were marked with the emblem of the Laziviu family. Obviously, these were plundered from the properties and estates of the Laziweu family everywhere.
If Yanush just sighed and complained when he heard the first news, and still had the strength and energy to put the letter paper on the table, this second news simply drew out the spirit of Prince Yanush. , The document also slipped unconsciously from the fingertips to the ground.
In such a short time, Sapega's men have gathered so many people, what a powerful appeal! Moreover, the vast and unparalleled wealth of the Naraziwiwu family, which he relied on to contend with opponents such as Sapega, has not only been used for his own use, but has also fallen into the hands of the enemy. Between the ebb and flow, I have to rely on some support to the arrival of the Swedish army led by Marshal Brae Wichensburg.
At this time, Yanush no longer hoped to use his own power to quell the Liaoyuan rebellion in Lithuania. He just wanted to go to Werner as soon as possible, because there could be faster to wait for the arrival of Swedish reinforcements. He can only count on relying on the strength of the Swedes to help himself.
In addition, it is to minimize the forces gathered under Sapega's command.
