"Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is wrong!"

Haaland panted out of the city, where Casimir IV was discussing with Lubizovsky about sending troops, and in front of them was a large field of peasant soldiers.

"Regarding the matter of the armor, it will definitely be prepared before sending troops, after the general gets the armor, he must first solve the plight of Poznan, the lord of Poznan, Piotel of Samotuvi, has sent a distress letter to Krakow, you need to confirm the safety of the situation over there first, and when the time comes, communicate with the citizens of Danzig to go to Marienburg, or other places, which requires your Excellency to improvise."

"There is no problem, Your Majesty, but if I can't get this batch of armor, I won't send troops, that would be too dangerous, an army without armor can't even be called an army, so if Your Majesty wants to repel the Teutons as soon as possible, then Your Majesty should send the armor here as soon as possible, and I can also arrange the route and supply of the troops."

Otherwise, General Lubizovsky will be old and serious, and he will say what he wants, and he will not pat his chest and say that he can defeat the enemy without saying anything, as long as it is appropriate, Casimir IV is of course willing to provide everything necessary for this war.

Kazimierz IV nodded, and recognized General Lubizovsky's request, and turned his head to look at Haaland, who was rushing over,

"What's going on? Wouldn't the nobles provide soldiers? Or did they choose to pay money in lieu of military service? ”

It was not the first time in this war that money had been used for military service, because the nobles were afraid that their territories would not be cultivated, so they were sometimes willing to send a sum of money to eliminate disasters, which may have been the prototype of the war tax.

"No, Your Majesty, it's much more serious than that, Teczynski was killed while collecting armor in the city of Krakow, and the citizens of Krakow are very agitated and very resistant to war, and there may be unrest in the city at any time!"

Both Casimir IV and Lubizovsky were silent, because everyone knew that such a situation would arise sooner or later, as long as the war dragged on.

The national conscription order has been issued several times, even the vassal Duchy of Masovia has been called up soldiers, the Duchy of Lithuania has only paid some Tatar mercenaries, and the noble lords of it did not participate in the war between the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Knights, this is not a game, the nobles of Lithuania are not obliged to participate in the battles of the Kingdom of Poland,

Just as the Croatian parliament would be a stumbling block to the Hungarian parliament, it was just the same king, and it didn't mean anything to the local lords.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send troops to the city to maintain order first? to prevent a real riot. ”

Lubizovsky proposed that if there was an uprising, it would be serious, Krakow was now the heart of the kingdom, there was still war on the front, and if there was any more rebellion in the rear, it would be terrible.

"Yes, Lubizovsky, you can bring people into the city now, guard the gates and main buildings, and do not allow smashing and looting in the city, violators can be arrested directly, Haaland, the conscription order for the nobles should be issued seriously, let them bring their troops to Krakow as soon as possible, the kingdom needs them now."

Kazimierz IV had to clear the city by force because of the behavior of the citizens of Krakow, and as Lubizovsky's army entered the city of Krakow, after arresting a few citizens who wanted to make trouble, the whole city of Krakow fell into an eerie silence, with the doors of every house closed, the windows of every house closed, and for a short time, no one moved around the city except the tax collectors,

As for the homeless people and thieves in the original city, they have long been sent to the battlefield, and Krakow has never been cleaner than ever, but this cleanliness is obtained through the blood of the people, and it is very dirty.

Casimir IV had to do this, the burghers provided armoured weapons and money, and the local lords provided the troops, which was a long-standing tradition, the king wanted to fight, and without the support of these two classes, it was a complete dream, and the Estates-General of France were composed of citizens, nobles, and clergy, and the burghers provided money in the Hundred Years' War, the nobles provided manpower, and the clergy pacified the people, otherwise why was the Estates-General composed of these three groups of people, this tradition of the Middle Ages was common in any Christian country,

European countries do not even have their own laws, the Holy Roman Empire is still a continuation of tribal law, that is, the "Salic Code", this code is a customary law, according to the tribal traditions of the ancient Germanic people, equivalent to customs, "Justinian" as the ancestor of the modern world code of the world, involving a wide range of content, in addition to some ocean-going trade laws, the "Code of Justinian" than the laws of other Christian countries is not a little better,

In terms of ocean trade, it is the Hanseatic League, to be precise, Lübeck's "Lübeck Law", the "Magdeburg Law" of the Free City of the Holy Roman Empire, these codes do not exist in the territory of the Roman Empire, they are the products of the Holy Roman Empire, so the "Code of Justinian" is not involved, these are emerging affairs, in addition to these, the "Code of Justinian" is definitely the most complete and richest code in the European world, and the "Code of Constantine" promulgated by Constantine XI is in the "Code of Justinian" What has been improved on the basis is the most scientific legal code in the world at present, and this is not bragging. m.

The turmoil in the city of Krakow quickly attracted the attention of those who cared, in fact, the nobles have been observing every move in Krakow, and the nobles are also tired of this seemingly endless war, in the eyes of their shlakhta, the Teutons have a strong will to fight, even if the Grand Master has been in Marienburg falls, there is no way to wear down the will of the Teutons, Marienburg has changed hands repeatedly, and the war has not been clueless for a while,

And on the frontal battlefield, the Polish army has been in a disadvantageous situation, except for the siege battle, most of the head-to-head confrontations are the defeat of the Polish army, the situation on the front line is not optimistic, in this case, everyone is unwilling to be called into the war by the king, no one is willing to fill such a bottomless pit with their own home,

The citizens of Krakow, in particular, were both fortunate and unfortunate to be at the feet of the king, and a suit of armor cost a lot of money, not to mention the armor that had to be supplied to the whole army, although only officers and the like could wear some armor, but it was also a large expense, who paid for it? That is, the nobility of the city and the wealthy burghers and merchants, as long as they live in Krakow, no matter where you come from, pay such a sum of money to Casimir IV for the war,

Although the Edict of Nessava appeased the minor nobles for a short time, the expenditure of the war far exceeded the income generated by the Edict in the short term, and there is no doubt that the nobles who could not make ends meet would have a new version of the war.

Sure enough, three days after martial law in Krakow, the conscripts sent to all parts of the country returned to Krakow, bringing enough news to chill Casimir IV,

"Your Majesty, most of the Polish nobility refused to be drafted, and only a few nobles around Krakow and the lesser nobles of Greater Poland accepted the call-up, but they also made the condition that these conscripts should only be allowed to be used during the Siege of Marienburg and the Teutonic War, and that they would not participate in the suppression of domestic unrest."

Haaland said these words bitterly, which almost pronounced the defeat of the Kingdom of Poland, and Casimir IV seemed to be able to see himself signing the defeat agreement.

Casimir IV had a gloomy face, he didn't expect such a thing, but it must be inevitable, the king launched a war for his own selfish desires, this war was not supported by most of the nobles in the country, the nobles and citizens were only temporarily obedient because of the royal power, if Casimir IV could win on the front line again and again, then the nobles may always support, but now on the frontal battlefield, the Kingdom of Poland has always won less and lost more, so it is normal that no one wants to support it anymore.

"Your Majesty, do we need to issue another ordinance or something now, and make another concession to the nobles?"

Haaland asked cautiously, and after thinking about it, Casimir IV slowly shook his head,

"No, now the power of the nobles is already very large, in the short term, they can't let their power expand again, so let's contact the representatives of the nobles to see what their requirements are, if it doesn't involve royal power, you can promise them, the "Nieshawar Ordinance" has only been promulgated for a short time, and they should be content."

The nobles refused to be called not because they wanted to rebel, but because they didn't want to fight a war with no end in sight, as long as the leader of the army could ensure victory in the war, then the nobles were naturally willing to provide manpower, so in this way, the commander of the army must be a person who the nobles could trust.

The nobles were obviously prepared, and when Haaland had just arranged for someone to dismiss the most powerful nobles in the country, they quickly put forward their demands.

"Your Majesty, the nobles unanimously elected Peter Dunin as commander of the army, and claimed that only in this way would they provide troops to the army, otherwise the king would face this war alone."

Haaland brought back the demands of the nobles, and although Casimir IV looked ugly, what could he do if he did not agree to such a situation?

Casimir IV nodded, but after all, this matter is still hidden, no one knows what deal was made between the nobles and the king, Casimir IV still has to save face, and before it succeeds, he did not publicize this matter, which caused a remarkable thing,

"Your Majesty, Archbishop Poznan is asking for an audience on matters related to the war."

Some people died, but not completely......
