Zygmunt's words drew the praise of the Polish generals in the main hall of the Royal Palace in Warsaw. But right next to the main hall, a guard's eyes flashed...... Obviously, this is a spy......

The origin of this spy is naturally the spy of the Marin faction in Poland. Moreover, this person is a native of Poland, not a native of the North Sea. Marin's method of bribing him was simple and crude - enough liquor pipes ......

What a two-pot head, what a "royal salute" with maple syrup, this Polish guard named Zhirkov can drink. The premise is that he is willing to provide information to Marin's men......

That night, a piece of information was sent out of Warsaw by a spy from the Polish distribution office of Erguotou......

By the time Lewandow was still on his way to Orich with 1,000 Polish hussars, the message had already arrived in Orich......

"What? My brother-in-law actually wants to seal Caesar in Kyiv? Marin, who received the information, was taken aback!

O Kyiv! That's the black soil of the Ukrainian plains! What kind of soil is black soil? It is a natural fertile soil formed by the accumulation of plants and trees after they die and decay from generation to generation, which is extremely fertile. Farming on this kind of land, even if you don't apply fertilizer, the yield is considerable, and even more ...... after fertilization

Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of Europe in later generations, and its fertile black soil and vast plains became an important capital for the "breadbasket of Europe".

The Ukrainian region is somewhat similar to the three eastern provinces of China, but the natural conditions are more superior than those of the three eastern provinces. Because, Ukraine is affected by the warm and humid air currents of the North Atlantic in winter, and the winter is a little warmer than in the northeast. Moreover, most of Ukraine is plain, unlike the Northeast, which has a lot of mountains.

In later generations, Ukraine's cultivated land area was as high as 32.5 million hectares, while the combined area of the three eastern provinces was only 300 million mu, that is, 20 million hectares. Moreover, both places are dominated by black soil, and the land is very fertile.

Therefore, after hearing that Zygmunt I wanted to divide the Ukrainian steppe to Caesar as a fiefdom, Marin even had the absurd idea of "am I really faking my death, so as to trick the Ukrainian fiefdom......

……

But in the end, Marin sensibly dismissed the plan. Because, at most, Zygmunt will only give Caesar the territory around Kiev, and will not give the whole of Ukraine to Caesar.

If Zygmunt I was willing to give the whole of Ukraine to Caesar, Marin didn't say a word - continued to play dead......

That's 600,000 square kilometers of black soil! But Zygmunt I was not stupid, and he could give Caesar 30,000 or 40,000 square kilometers of territory. Moreover, it will not be by the sea.

For the sake of 30,000 or 40,000 square kilometers of territory that is not close to the sea, and the North Sea country is lost, especially the Ruhr area, Marin is kicked in the head unless he is kicked in the head......

……

"Still, maybe I can introduce Simon to Ukraine as a lord?" Marin suddenly had a whim.

As can be seen from the conversation between Zygmunt I and his men - neither the Poles nor the Lithuanians seem to care too much about the Ukrainian regions and are reluctant to develop them.

Perhaps, this has a lot to do with the threat from Crimea and Turkey to the south. But who is Marin? Do you care about this threat?

But it is impossible for him to go to Ukraine, after all, the Americas have a lot of territory than Ukraine, and the resources are richer.

But Simon is different, he doesn't have his own territory, and Marin won't give him much. Even, if Simon was in charge of too many soldiers and horses, Marin would feel uneasy. After all, Simon is also a member of the Hoffman family and has the opportunity to covet the position of Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom. At the beginning, Richard III, who murdered Edward IV's son Edward V, wasn't he Edward IV's own brother?

However, if Simon is sent to Ukraine to mix, it will be different. Because, this means that Simon later left Germany and mixed up on the side of Poland and Lithuania. If the people are no longer in Beihai Country, the influence on Beihai Country will be gone. He is developing well, and Marin can only be happy about it.

As for how to make Simon a lord on the Ukrainian side? This is not too simple - as long as you spend money to buy from the Lithuanian authorities, you can buy a piece of land in the underappreciated Ukraine. Then, mix up the earl.

At the beginning, Pope Alexander VI spent 50,000 gold coins to buy a county from the Spanish royal family for his son. Of course, most of the land bought by 50,000 gold coins is mountainous, and there is very little fertile soil in the plains.

Ukraine is different, though. There is a lack of everything over there, but there is no shortage of fertile black soil. For tens of thousands of gold coins, you can buy Simon a large piece of black earth territory. Moreover, because Zygmunt I, who is the Grand Duke of Lithuania, is also Simon's brother-in-law, he must give a preferential price. And as the elder brother of the Grand Duchess, it is not difficult for Simon to buy an earl title and corresponding territories in Ukraine. What's more, it is a place like Ukraine that is not valued by Lithuania......

……

Moreover, when Simon arrives in Ukraine, Marin will support him in creating his own powerful army. Then, go east to beat Maozi and snatch more land from Maozi's Grand Duchy of Moscow. With Marin's financial backing, Simon had the money to raise a massive army to plunder and suppress the Grand Duchy of Moscow on a large scale, preventing the rise of this country with great potential. After all, the majesty of Maozi sweeping the world in later generations, Ma Lin had palpitations when he thought about it. The best way is to suppress Maozi's rise through Lithuania and Poland.

However, there are many aristocratic factions in Lithuania, and it is difficult to unite with the outside world. Therefore, Marin might as well support his own brother to suppress Maozi. If Simon becomes the king of Maozi, it will also be a fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders and falls into the hands of the Hoffman family......

……

Of course, for now, the most important thing for Marin is to say hello to his brother-in-law, Zygmunt I, lest he cause trouble......

In particular, the 1,000 Polish hussars are better off not appearing on the battlefield......

Why? Because of the duel between the countries of the Beihai Kingdom and the princes of the Eight Kingdoms, it is best not to let outsiders interfere. Otherwise, if the princes of the Eight Kingdoms are defeated, they will find a reason. For example, what did the Kingdom of Poland say about the war......

Although Poland sent only a symbolic 1,000 Polish hussars, they were sent by the King of Poland to represent the Kingdom of Poland.

But now the Beihai Kingdom and the princes of the Eight Kingdoms are fighting a duel war, and the so-called duel is not allowed to be mixed in by the unexpected forces of the two sides of the duel. Otherwise, the fairness of the duel is lost. If it's unfair, the losing side can be denied.

Based on this consideration, in order to prevent the princes of the Eight Kingdoms from denying after the defeat, Marin must not let the 1,000 Polish hussars appear in Aurich, in order to prevent people from giving a handle.

……

Therefore, Marin sent someone to inform the Cossack corps commander Alsace, asking him to take 2,000 Cossacks and stop the 1,000 Polish hussars on the way, so as not to cause a misunderstanding after they entered the North Sea State.

At the same time, Marin sent a secret letter to be sent to Warsaw and handed over to Zygmunt I. The content of the letter is very simple -

"Brother-in-law, I'm still alive! Moreover, it is ready to fight back. Please withdraw your men to avoid misunderstandings. We are fighting a duel war, and we cannot have external forces involved......"

Upon receiving Marin's secret message, Zygmunt I was taken aback:

"What, he's still alive? That ......"

After thinking for a while, it dawned on Zygmunt I:

"I understand, my second brother's heart is really black, he is planning to eat those 8 competitors completely!"
