The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 720: Meeting with the clerk 4

The old man told Vygowski that King Jan Kazimierz admired him very much and believed that only when a wise and wise man like Vygowski succeeded the Cossack chief, could Ukraine have real peace.

Vigowski said he didn't dare, but there was a look of joy on his face.

Of course Stanislaw Potocki saw this joy. The old man couldn't help laughing in his heart. As a qualified politician, he should not be happy and angry. It seems that the clerk is still too tender.

"The Republic and I will do our best to help our friends." Stanislaw Potocki assured Wigowski.

Having said that, Stanislaw Potocki felt that it was enough.

He stood up and said goodbye.

Wigowski looked a little lost, but he still ceremoniously sent the three to the door.

Chechen helped Stanislaw Potocki to leave, while Henrik Potocki turned his head and said to Vygowski: "Your clerk, there is something on our carriage for you. Be careful, I hope you don't dislike it."

The so-called mind is ten thousand talers.

When I left Ivan Wigowski’s mansion, the old man Stanislaw Potocki felt at ease. Things went so smoothly that even the old man himself didn't expect it.

"It seems that Ukraine does still have a lot of people who love the Republic and the King." The old man said to Henrik Chechen.

At this time, Cheechen on the side returned to his senses.

"That's it? That's how Wigowski became our person?" He couldn't help but blurt out in surprise.

Cheerchen didn't expect it to be completely settled with just one conversation. He thought he would have to go through at least a few quarrels.

"Chechen, the Republic has been operating in Ukraine for many years. Although it has experienced Bogdan Khmelnitsky's rebellion, the so-called centipede is dead and not stiff. The foundation of the Republic is still there. There are still many on this land. Patriots. Before they were just afraid of Bogdan Khmelnytsky’s power and had to bury their patriotism in their hearts. Now Bogdan Khmelnytsky is dead, they lack this Level scruples, and the king and I have both kindness and power, of course it will be a matter of course. Besides, does Wigowski really have no desire for the position of the warchief? Impossible. Of course he wants to be a warchief. Without relying on us. Who can he rely on-Tubullin made it clear to support Hirko, and Magnus was on Popovich's side." Stanislaw Potocki preached.

Hearing Stanislaw Potocki's analysis, Henrik nodded. He was impressed by his uncle's argument.

But Chechen felt that things went too far smoothly. But if there are any doubts, Cheerchen really can't tell.

And just after Chechen and Stanislaw Potocki left, a hidden door in Vygowski’s office opened, and a man with a beard and beard, wearing a silver chain, came out from inside. A young man.

As soon as he walked out, he excitedly said to Vygowski, who was back in the office: "Look, Vygowski. You have always worried that you can only compete on your own, but you will not be able to compete with the Russians and Swedes. Yuri, and Bao Hong. Now the Poles have come to the door and promised to help you ascend to the position of War Chief. With the help of Poles, we have a better chance of winning."

Coming out of the secret door was Colonel Peter Doroshenko from the Cossack Emirate. Similar to Vigowski's experience, Peter Doroshenko was also born in a Ukrainian noble family and received a good education. But unlike Vygowski, Peter Doroshenko voluntarily and actively participated in the uprising led by Khmelnitsky, rather than forced.

After he met Wigowski, the two fell in love at first sight. Peter Doroshenko is not only a staunch supporter of Vygowski, but also a rare military talent in Vygowski's faction.

While Peter Doroshenko was speaking, Vygowski picked up the agreement document left by Stanislaw Potocki. He walked up to Peter Doroshenko again and handed it to him.

"There may be a lot of help, but the conditions are also a lot." Wigowski said.

After speaking, the clerk sighed again: "There is no free lunch in the world."

Peter Doroshenko took the document. Of course, he couldn't see the specific details of the treaty in the secret door, only vaguely heard that it was similar to the "Zporov Agreement" of that year. Now Peter Doroshenko looked through the file word by word, his face was getting more and more ugly, and the joints of his fingers began to tremble.

"At this time, the Poles still use such conditions to fool us, do they really think we are begging for mercy!" Peter Doroshenko angrily threw the file on the desk.

"It's really harsh, but I think it's not that Jan Kazimierz is stingy, but that the Poles can only come up with so much." Wigowski made a good word for the Poles.

He understands the current predicament in Poland. After all, the most prosperous provinces in the Polish Republic before the war had been occupied and plundered by the Swedes.

Peter Doroshenko shook his head.

He can kiss Poland, but he is not kneeling and licking without a bottom line.

"No, no." Peter Doroshenko said: "Vigowski, my brother. You can never agree to such a condition-even if Stanislaw Potocki promised you 100% Become a great chief. You should understand that no one can persuade such conditions. I believe that the day the treaty is announced is when you step down."

Peter Doroshenko is really thinking about Vigowski. He didn't say one more thing, that is, such a treaty is enough to threaten Wigowski's life.

That year, just because Bogdan Khmelnitsky accepted such conditions, even his direct line, the Cossacks of Zaporozhye’s headquarters, broke out an anti-Bogdan Khmelnitsky riot, forcing He had to suppress the civil strife with severe measures.

Even if Bogdan Khmelnitsky was like this, Vygowski could only get worse.

Of course Peter Doroshenko's concern for him, Vygovski, understood. His heart was very moved, thanking God for giving him such a sincere friend.

"Peter Doroshenko, my brother. Don't worry, I don't intend to accept such an agreement. What I said to Stanislaw Potocki just now was just a lie to him." Vigovs Ji explained.

At this time, Peter Doroshenko's expression changed from his concern to disbelief.

Wigowski further explained: "Stannislaw Potocki not only brought this agreement, but also four big cars. According to the information I got, those big cars The car is loaded with funds from the Republic of Poland to support my superiors. Of course, the prerequisite for supporting me is that I accept the agreement. Just now I saw the so-called gift left by them-it turned out to be a box of talers."

"So you pretended to accept the agreement, so that the money can be defrauded?" Peter Doroshenko speculated on Wigowski's plot.

Vigowski waved his hand hurriedly.

He felt that Peter Doroshenko's statement of deception was too ugly.

"I'm not deceiving him. After all, our Cossacks are honest. It can be said that my pro-Polish attitude is always the same. Even if I become a warchief, I will continue this original intention. It's just that if I just refused. Those conditions made my request. Stanisław Potocki must not be the master. He must go back to discuss with King Jan Kazimierz. This will definitely delay the day. And we are missing now. It's time and money."

With that, Wigowski walked to the window. He looked downstairs.

At this time, across the street, Vygowski happened to see the Lesh Gritsenko who was in conflict with Stanislaw Potocki in his home~www.readwn.com~ even if Thinking with his heel, Vygowski also knew that Lesh Gritsenko was from the Warchief's...No, it should be Yuri Khmelnitsky's mansion now. He must have met Popovich.

Since the death of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Popovich has identified himself as Minister Gu Ming. He lived and went out with Yuri and met with the Swedish ambassador from time to time. He spread money widely, and many Cossack company commanders took his money bags.

"I am acting, Popovich and Shirko and even Baohong, they are also acting. For some Cossacks, we can talk about ideals and morality, but for people like Lesh Gritsenko, what No money will work."

Peter Doroshenko also walked to the window. He looked at Lesh Gritsenko who walked into a nearby tavern and said, "Popovic is the most difficult to deal with. To tell you the truth, I met with Shirko before I came, and he yelled at him. Povic is the smelly and hard stone in the pit. Shirko also threatened to find someone to kill him sooner or later."

When he said this, Peter Dorothy looked at Vygowski brightly.

Vigowski certainly heard what his friend was suggesting.

"It's not good," said Vigowski, who has weighed in. "Don't mention that Popovich is the old brother of our Cossacks. It's not morally justified to do this. If things are revealed or they are known by Shirko and Baohong. , You and I have become the targets of public criticism. I believe that at least Shirko is very willing to put us down."

Of course Peter Doroshenko also thought of this layer. He said to Wigowski: "Of course our people can't do it. I mean, Shirko has many rough people as reckless as him, and they are also dissatisfied with Yuri and Popovich. "
