On this day, at the head of Smolensk, the flag of the Republic of Poland, which had been flying for more than 40 years, fell for the first time. The gate of Smolensk also passed through the army from czar Russia again.

    Prince Alexei walked in the front, behind him, general Yakov cherkaski on the left and general shemiao rahmanning on the right. Captain Vasili zolotalenko, the leader of zaporoche Cossack, was supposed to walk side by side with the two generals. General keyakov and general Xie Miao deliberately did not leave room for Vasili zolotalenko to follow him.

    At the gate of the city hall, count anzumov, speaker shchenko and bishop kisher stood side by side, followed by the nobles of Smolensk. Countless Smolensk citizens stood on both sides of the street and watched the arrival of this historical moment.

    Prince Alexei rode to the three nobles. He was so close that the three nobles could feel the heat from Prince Alexei''s horse.

    Bishop kisher held a cross in his hand. The old man raised his head and tried to pretend to be happy, but the old man was pale and the hem of his robe trembled slightly. He looked up at Prince Alexei and looked back at the nobles. In the dead silence, bishop kisher said in a hoarse voice, "ladies and gentlemen, today we will submit to the Almighty czar Alexei mikheinovic Romanov. Long live your majesty czar!"

    Count anzumov and speaker shchenko shouted long live with one voice, while the nobles behind looked at their companions, and no one was willing to shout first.

    "I object." suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.

    As soon as Prince Alexei''s Bowyer cavalry captain Andre pulled out his horse''s head, he would go down with his hands and catch people in the direction of the voice.

    But Prince Alexei stopped him. Prince Alexei raised his head and glanced at the crowd. Then he said, "tsar Russia has no military conference, so opposition is not applicable here. If anyone wants to oppose, then go and talk to our saber."

    As soon as Prince Alexei''s words fell, the Boye cavalry as the guard pulled out their sabres in unison. In the sunlight, the saber reflected a dazzling light - the light was cold and murderous.

    Now, no one objected.

    Prince Alexei added, "you will live under the protection of your Majesty the Czar who enjoys supreme freedom. Now listen to what the great czar mikheinovic has brought to you."

    Andre took the first step and immediately opened a document: "The freedom enjoyed by nobles and clergy will remain unchanged, and taxes will not be increased and will still be collected in the original way; those who do not want to stay in Smolensk can leave by themselves, and His Majesty the Czar will ensure their life safety; no one will be illegally humiliated, and everyone''s property will be protected; the Czar Russian army will never collect houses and land free of charge..."

    There are 23 articles in the document. Andre reads each one, and the happiness on the faces of the nobles and citizens will increase. Nothing is more reassuring to the nobles and citizens present than this paper document. In this paper book, the land and property of the nobles are guaranteed, and in this paper book, the lives of the citizens are no longer threatened.

    After Andre finished reading, all the people cheered from their hearts: "Your Majesty Alexei mikheinovic Romanov, czar."

    And speaker shchenko turned back, raised his hands and shouted, "everybody, do you hear me? Let''s go back and live and work in peace and contentment. We saved Smolensk and you."

    Seeing such a happy scene, Prince Alexei still had a cold and serious expression. Although general Yakov cherkaski and general shemiao rahmanning, who rode behind the prince, smiled, it was like watching a dog rob a bone without meat.

    Count anzumov stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, there are two generals. We have prepared a thin banquet in the castle. Let''s have a good drink among the wine and preparation."

    Count anzumov then raised his head and found that there was a Cossack behind general Yakov cherkaski and general shemiao rahmanin. Of course, he didn''t ask himself what the Cossack was. He quickly added, "and your excellency captain Vassily zolotalenko."

    Hearing that a banquet had been prepared in the castle, Prince Alexei nodded. As soon as he pulled the reins, he said, "let''s go now."

    After that, he wanted to ride a horse to the castle.

    "Please wait a minute, your highness." as Prince Alexei was about to leave the city hall, Yakov cherkaski suddenly stopped.

    Prince Alexei looked back at Yakov cherkaski, while speaker shchenko and others showed puzzled expressions.

    Perhaps for fear of misunderstanding between the prince and the generals, Yakov cherkaski quickly explained: "Your Highness, Fyodor obkhovic didn''t come."

    Indeed, Fyodor was not among the nobles.

    "What''s going on?" Andre shouted angrily.

    Andre''s angry drink made speaker shchenko sweat like rain. He kowtowed and said, "Fyodor obhovich is still in the castle. He said he would wait for the prince in the castle."

    "Who does he think he is?" general Yakov cherkaski laughed contemptuously. Although Xie Miao rahmanning did not speak, he still looked so arrogant and disdained when he heard that the former city Lord of Smolensk had reached this point.

    "Gregory, take someone to invite the former city Lord out of the city." Yakov cherkaski shouted to a thin man like a monkey behind him without waiting for Prince Alexei to speak.

    "Yes, general."

    The thin monkey man replied. Then he bowed and left the team with more than ten horses and ran to the castle.

    "Your Highness, let''s have a rest in the city hall first. I thought there should be no idle people there soon." Yakov cherkaski said proudly as if he were a host to entertain guests.

    "Yakov cherkaski, I want to remind you that you are not the Lord of Smolensk yet." Prince Alexei only said this about Yakov cherkaski''s style.

    It turned out that Prince Alexei received an order from czar mikheinovic to lead his army to turn with his Majesty''s army and march into Werner immediately after receiving Smolensk. The task of staying in Smolensk was entrusted to general Yakov cherkaski, which meant that Yakov would become the master of Smolensk, so the general would look like a master.

    Yakov cherkaski was bored. Although his heart was angry, Prince Alexei''s power was not comparable, so Yakov had to hold back.

    Prince Alexei got off his horse and, surrounded by the crowd, entered the parliament hall.

    "When you leave, I will be the master of this city." Yakov cherkaski thought bitterly, looking at the back of Prince Alexei.
