055 Insist on going your own way
Krysztof Koniecpolsky returned to his residence with a heavy face after giving a series of orders to transfer troops and extract supplies from General Stanisław Koniecpolsky.
Krysztof didn't feel anything when he talked to General Stanisław Koniecpolsky before, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong, but after seeing General Stanisław Koniecpolsky's 'Grand Duke's 'selflessness' to hand over all the troops and supplies of Zhytomyr to him, everything seemed to be very reasonable.
Obviously, Krysztof was not the only one who felt wrong, and not long after Krysztof returned to his residence, Krysztoff's chief henchman 'staff' came to Krysztof after receiving the news.
"My lord, I have just received news that the Sym Parliament of the United Kingdom has passed a resolution to send troops to Khmelnitsky to quell the rebellion, and at this time, my lord is so urgent to transfer troops to suppress a group of Tatar bandits, I am afraid that he will miss the opportunity to break through the city of Kiev and destroy Khmelnitsky!
My lord, the most elite Polish hussars in Zhytomyr are all your direct troops, and General Stanisław Koniecpolsky has only given the original city defense, mercenaries and hussars of Zhytomyr, and this order he gave you is quite unfavorable to your lordship, with the merit of your lordship, as long as you put down the rebellion of the Ukrainian Cossacks, your prestige will surpass that of your eldest brother, General Stanisław Koniecpolsky, and the position of head of the family is just around the corner. ”
Krysztof waved his hand irritably: "I naturally know this, but the leader of the Taiping army Hong Tiancheng that I went to exterminate this time is different from the ordinary Tatar bandit army, and even more dangerous than the regular army of the Crimean Khanate, if we don't eliminate this wandering Taiping army, we can't attack Kyiv City at all." ”
Contenford asked with a puzzled face: "It's just an army of Tatar bandits numbering more than a thousand, at most raging in the countryside, ringworm scabies, and when Khmelnitsky is defeated, the army can be pacified by returning along the way."
What's so special about the Taiping Army? The defeated General Samuel Vashchi took only his own men, less than 2,000 men, and being defeated is nothing. ”
Krysztoff's mouth opened and held back the 'secret' of the Taiping Army, he and General Stanisław Koniecpolsky belong to the same family, no matter what happens, General Stanisław Koniecpolsky will not be able to report himself, otherwise he will not be able to get out of it, but Krysztford is different, he is just a confidant who is close to Krysztoff, once he knows something, he goes to the church to denounce it, even if Krysztof is not arrested by the church, his future is basically ruined.
Contamp Fouc is a devout Catholic!
In Europe and the Middle East, where the religious atmosphere is strong, there are countless wars and even pagan massacres for the faith, and many kings and nobles are themselves devout believers, which is unimaginable for non-religious Orientals!
Christianity has enveloped the continent for thousands of years, not by absolute force, but by the strong support of the ruling class, and if it were not for the Renaissance that transformed people's thinking, perhaps those nobles and ignorant commoners would still be full of reverence for the ethereal God.
The piety and fanaticism of the religious beliefs of the ancients seemed ridiculous and stupid to modern people, but at that time it was a real true belief, after two people with different beliefs met, it was very likely that they would draw their swords and start a duel because of a few words, and even the aristocratic class often fought against each other because of the issue of faith, and the defeated had to accept the 'spiritual torture' of conversion in humiliation, otherwise they would be uprooted!
The spread of Christianity was not caused by the pope of the Holy See, but by the wars of aggression waged by groups of pious ruling classes!
Therefore, Krysztof was naturally reluctant to take the risk of informing Contenford of these secrets.
"It's okay, there are only thousands of people in the Taiping Military Region, I just launched the army in advance, and I can save a lot of things by eliminating the Taiping Army in advance."
"However, if you do this, my lord, Khmelnitsky will definitely be the first target of your army, and your lord will most likely become the first wave to fight against Khmelnitsky's main force, and once you are defeated, the prestige of the military achievements that your Excellency has built up before will be greatly reduced.
Grand Duke Koniespolsky's health is deteriorating day by day, and if the military exploits of the adults do not advance and retreat, they will no longer be able to compete with your eldest brother.
Your Excellency, you are still too risky to accept this military order, originally with the gathering of the United Kingdom's army, the credit of your Excellency is to be obtained steadily, and now that you are on such an expedition, everything will enter the unknown direction. ”
"Conthamford, you don't have to say it anymore, I have my own sense of proportion, even if I lose the qualification to compete for the position of Grand Duke, the glory of my Krysztof will not fall, fighting for my father and fighting for my eldest brother are about the same for me!"
Some of them didn't want Kryshtov to be aware of the secret of the Taiping Army, so they directly issued an expulsion order, and Kantampford was just a subordinate after all, and in the face of Krysztof's clear instructions, he could only sigh helplessly and bow down and say: "I wish you a victory." ”
Then he withdrew with a grim face.
After Kantampford left, Krysztof poured a glass of red wine and drank it in a sip, and slammed his right hand into a fist on the carved wooden table.
"Hmph, it's just a group of weird Taiping troops, I don't believe that I can't destroy him with my absolute superiority, although I can't guess what the eldest brother has in mind, but as long as I continue to win victories and establish meritorious achievements, Stanisław Koniecpolsky wants to shake my position in the family!
The great and glorious Konietspolsky family does not need a family head who can only engage in political intrigues and gangs behind his back, the ancestors of the Konietspolsky family relied on military exploits to fight with a sword, and naturally they also need real brave people to inherit! ”
Under the control of General Stanisław Koniecpolsky, Krysztof quickly and smoothly entangled all the armed forces in Zhytomyr, and all the soldiers of Zhytomyr except for the guards and knights under General Stanisław Koniecpolsky walked out of the city with Krysztov.
Only a vague militia vigilante remained in Zhytomyr.
