Ludwig I had already secretly consulted with Louis XIV that before the war with the Ottoman Turks was over, Louis would transport weapons and armaments to the Polish royal guards through the Swedish Baltic Sea, and the members of the Polish Council of Sym must have expected to see their new king exhausted in the war with the Ottoman Turks—or in the war, so that they could make a fortune from another new Polish king.

The two thousand soldiers of the new king did not attract their attention in the slightest, which was the number of soldiers in the army of any great noble, and with the bribes of Condé, they recruited forty thousand men from the Cossacks alone, and thirty-five thousand hussars, which, of course, were not to be handed over to Ludwig I, but his son Henry, as an upstart, became the commander of a hussar regiment, which had four companies, each with four hundred horsemen, so that there were also 1,600 men at his command, which, according to tradition, was called Henry's regiment, and was to be drawn soon, even before his father。

Louis XIV slowly pinched the wooden figure, this is the Poland of the table world, but what about the inner world?

Here again we have to touch on the special past and territoriality of Poland, Poland's religious tolerance is extremely famous in any country in Europa, before the Roman Church tried to unify the Polish faith, Poland from the aristocracy to the commoners, there were Orthodox Christians, *** Christians, The believers of Christianity and the Youtai people, if not in harmony, were at least non-aggressive, and the Youtai who had been expelled and atrocities elsewhere were able to haunt the Polish court, and before the official conversion of the Polish king, he even married a Youtai woman and enacted many laws for her in favor of the Youtai people.

It can even be said that the main culprit of the Great Flood that allowed Poland to enter the period of the weakening Flood was also the Roman Church, because the church intended to have the same faith, and Sweden, Russia and the Ottoman Turks had an excuse to invade Poland in order to protect the people of the same faith as them, and before that, the Schlachita of Poland was originally only a few small and medium-sized nobles, unable to compete with the king, who knew that once those big nobles who originally believed in Orthodox Christianity converted, they proudly stepped into the center of the Council of Sem and directly confronted the king- In the end, this ridiculous and sad situation was created.

But the world is more complicated than the beliefs Poland once had. Because Poland is a very old region in the human world, dating back to the Paleolithic period in the 700th century BC, and then a long primitive communal society, the concept of the state began to emerge after the 10th century AD, and then it was invaded by the Mongols, that is, the Tatars, who brought their faith here.

Although they were all called sorcerers, pagans and servants of the devil, unlike the sorcerers of France, England or Italy, the sorcerers of Poland were not all descendants of Merlin, but priests, elders and shamans who had a deep dislike for the Polish nobility and kings, because for them these Christians were pagans. In addition, Poland's peculiar system of electing kings has not been able to make these wizards trust or trust a king who does not know when he will be replaced, and who may not have an heir, and certainly cannot occupy a place in the royal family.

To add insult to injury, Poland's Caspian world is in Livonia, an ill-fated place once occupied by Denmark, the Teutonic Knights, Polish-Lithuanian and now Sweden, and one can imagine how many wars have broken out here for the fight for this important Baltic outlet.

Just like the Italian wizards' Caspian World Gayola Island, the Polish Rili World is also a territory that is separated by wizards and magical creatures with magic- And unlike the island of Gayora, Poland's Caspian World is in a wasteland near the Gulf of Finland, which is the only way from Sweden to Livonia, and once or twice it may be able to blind the eyes of mortals, but when Sweden officially becomes the master of Livonia, it will be like what Louis did to Flanders, and Karl X, as the ruler, will investigate and clean up his new territory...... The wizards had to shrink the boundaries of the world again and again, with some leaving and others entering Tsmich's territory, which was one of the reasons Amun's anger.

If Ludwick I was just a puppet, then Louis didn't have to worry, but Prince Condé was willing to give up the inheritance of France and gamble, not for an empty title, an uninheritable throne, Louis didn't want to, Prince Condé and his eldest son were both brave and sharp generals, Louis once envied Cromwell, the protector of England, because Cromwell's generals could be used by him to guard the eleven military districts of Britain, one area - what kind of luxury is this?! Even now, in the war between the Netherlands and Flanders, many young and promising generals have emerged, but compared to experience and experience, they still can't compare with veterans like Condé.

But with Louis in front of him, Ludwick I would not have turned a blind eye to those who were extraordinary, and had not heard them.

I just hope Amon can be more powerful.

Then the king felt a slight touch on his knees, and few dared to interrupt him while the king was thinking, and he looked down to see that the lord of the great county was hastily dragging the little Duke of Angian back, and the little Duke of Angian had only begun to learn to speak, or rather, to live like a man and not a young beast, and he did not understand what the sudden silence was, and the great lord did not pay any attention, so he rushed over and tried to grab the king's feet.

Louis disapprehantly pinched Ludwig I's villain and put it next to Sobiesky, and let them lean close together, "Now Ludwig I should have come to Sobiesky, so what do you think we should do?"

The Duke of Colonna pondered for a moment: "Should we make some gestures?"

"What gesture?" Louis looked at him encouragingly, and after a pause of a few seconds, the Duke of Colonna boldly said, "We should probably move our troops and send a letter to Leopold I, and to the Diet of Sulm in Poland, I mean, so that we can ...... it" He was obviously thinking: "An answer to the Church of Rome would also force the Polish Schlachita and the great nobles to drive the Ottoman Turks out as soon as possible." ”

"You don't have to be tactful in that way," pouted the Duke of Orleans, "anyway, we all know what is going on in the Church of Rome, but you are right, little Lucy, your father and I are preparing to transfer some of our troops to Lorraine and Alsace, and in any case, the papal edict was sent to France, but Leopold I and the Elector of Saxony may not be pleased." ”

"Those Polish aristocrats will not. Louis said lightly: "But the Duke of Colonna is right, it is enough for us to put on a posturing." "For these years, at least for three years, the king would not wage war or be forced to wage war, and after annexing Flanders and parts of Holland, what they needed was recuperation, and the spoils and rewards of the soldiers from the war needed to be cashed in as food and clothing for their families, as roof tiles and cattle in the fields, and the merchants were to be regrouped, and Louis was desperate to get Amsterdam because it was the largest financial center in Europa, and although Louis had long been prepared to transfer this center to Paris, the credibility it had accumulated over the centuries was not so easily taken away。

The king's officials had to take over all the government and business of Amsterdam at the same time – a strange part-time job that had never been seen before, for many projects in the financial industry were sinful according to Catholic doctrine – but that was the only way to drain Amsterdam's blood out of Paris as quickly as possible.

"I know that Madame Montespan is buying wheat from Poland in large quantities. "And she's contacted a lot of people, and even held several balls and banquets for it." ”。 She said as she bowed her head shyly in the shining eyes of the Duke of Orleans: "I know because my mother is one of them." The Duchess of Orleans, perhaps ashamed of her daughter because of what had happened before, promised her that when the proceeds of the sale came in, she would make her a crown of diamonds, and that the lord of Orleans, though she was as fond of diamonds as the other nobles, was pleased with the kindness shown to her by her mother.

The Duke of Orleans did not speak, so why should he ruin the children's dreams? Moreover, the Duchess of Orleans was not bad, but she just underestimated the importance of the children to him and to the king.

The king grabbed a handful of wheat and piled up a yellow hill beside each of the little figures representing Schlachita. "So does anyone know why we're buying wheat?"

"Food is important at all times, especially in times of war. Louis, the Dauphin, said that the king still remembered the famine that had spread from Paris to Paris during the Fronde riots, and that the local nobles and armies, who had prepared for war, were looting for food as well as for soldiers. In the first winter there was still the accumulation of the previous year, and the people barely survived, and in the spring of the second year there was no cultivation, and in the autumn there was no harvest, and in the winter there was a famine—and if the king had not been able to produce the potatoes, France would have been even weaker in the following years.

Before the attack on Flanders and the Netherlands, France had accumulated war reserves for several years, and in addition to its own production, Colbert did not stop buying grain from other countries or even the Ottoman Turkish possessions for a moment, for which Louis XIV borrowed a lot, and even then, when the war ended, the consumption of grain could only stop at the bottom line.

Therefore, the king and the royal brother often went to the fields of Versailles and the fairs of Paris to check on the situation with the children, and the children not only knew that the wheat grew from the ground and the fish was fished from the rivers and the sea, but also that the price of bread in the market was not only related to the harvest or failure of the wheat, but also that sometimes the merchants would manipulate the price of flour by hoarding or selling.

"Who else are we going to fight again?" asked Eugen Jr.

"It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. Louis said, "And there is another reason, who can answer me?"

"It's for Serachita. The eldest princess said calmly: "Mother also invested in this deal, although the person who came forward was not herself, but her mother's personal priest, but it is said that he has become close friends with several Schlachita, and he told me that if it were not for that considerable profit, those Schlachita would not have eaten with the queen's gnomes, even if they talked to him." ”

The Duke of Orleans laughed out loud, Louis couldn't help but smile helplessly, Queen Teresa has never been negligent or neglectful to this day, from the most basic requirements of the queen at this time - to have a healthy heir, to control the court, to suppress those restless forces when the king leaves Paris, this queen has done a perfect job, she now has only two criticisms, one is that she can't get rid of the foreigner, and the other is that after the eldest princess, she is no longer pregnant.

This aside, the king was satisfied with her, but when the queen mother was still there, the queen's pastimes were not much - such as sponsoring artists, forming salons, holding banquets and balls, these are all the duties of the royal lady, if the queen is like this, she will be considered frivolous, which is nothing, if it is taken a step further, it is considered to be intentionally meddling in domestic affairs, or being falsely accused of moral deficiencies, and then the inheritance of the crown prince and the eldest princess is questioned, then it is a big deal.

So the queen's pastime is almost all on a group of gnomes, they always run around with the queen to make her happy, although the eldest princess was raised by the queen mother, but also often go to the queen's suite, and is also familiar with this group of gnomes.

"Everybody has what he wants," said the Duke of Orleans, "and that's all there is to it—we might call it interests, all sorts of interests, maybe beauty, maybe power, maybe freedom—the Schlachitas of Poland had a rather simple mind, more troops, more land, more serfs, but to raise an army, it took a lot of money. ”

"So whoever gives them money is their friend. "It will not be easy to intervene in the internal affairs of Poland, Schlachita, the great nobles will be inclined to each other, but they will unanimously target the king," said Louis. ”

"But they would welcome outside powers, just as they would elect a non-Polish king. Eugen Jr. said.

"Then wouldn't it be even more difficult for Prince Condé, Ludwig I, if they really had more troops?" asked the Duke of Colonna.

"So being their friend is the first step," said the Duke of Orleans, "but any sin can be reduced to the pursuit of pleasure, whether vanity or gluttony, or **** and laziness." He looked at the children: "This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it, but you must know that it is very easy to fall." ”

Like the Polish emissaries, who at first mentioned the purchase of weapons and armaments (the French muskets, throwing ammunition and cannons attracted a lot of attention in the war against the Netherlands and Flanders), but later on, what did they remember besides the woman's breasts and the squandering chips?
