In March, Pedro left vidava with a mercenary regiment of 3000. There were also nearly 2000 militia armed with sickles, long guns and flail - they were all peasants who loved debacht.

    The party marched towards Rhodes castle. This castle, together with Rhodes, is the domain of count kasmir teshkovich.

    At Rhodes castle, a private army of a thousand men led by the count stopped Pedro''s way.

    However, as expected, count kasimir teshkovic did not come to fight the mercenary regiment.

    The Earl''s emissary claimed that the Earl sympathized with bakhte''s experience and was willing to lead the army and Pedro to Beijing to "redress their grievances."

    This is really a happy ending.

    Having won allies without bloodshed, Pedro hurriedly invited count Casimir teshkovic to his camp to have dinner with himself and the officers of the mercenary regiment.

    Of course, count kasimir teshkovic''s words of sympathy for bakhte''s experience were just his pretext.

    In fact, the count was also the victim of the king''s reform. He supported Pedro''s entry into Warsaw only for his own interests.

    Count Casimir teshkovic''s wishful thinking is this: if Pedro''s mercenary regiment defeats the king or the king compromises it, as an ally of the mercenary regiment, the king naturally agrees to his demands; If the king refused or sent troops to destroy the mercenary regiment, he would revolt on the battlefield or surrender after returning to Rhodes, asking for the forgiveness of King Jan kazimiz.

    In short, count Casimir teshkovic knows how to protect himself.

    After a day''s rest in Rhodes, the mercenary regiment and its allies continued to move towards Warsaw. Along the way, many nobles with domestic servants or private troops took refuge in Pedro with the same purpose, which expanded the size of the army to 6000. The news they brought made Pedro happy and flustered.

    Two messages are actually one thing, because they happen before and after.

    The first news is about lubaumatsky. More than half a month ago, with the support of the Holy Roman emperor, lubaumatsky quickly formed a mercenary army and returned to his territory Lvov. There he raised an anti flag, and the great nobleman of the Republic of Poland, the former Grand Marshal, declared a "legitimate rebellion". He packaged himself as a fighter to defend the noble gold freedom and oppose evil autocracy, which was supported by many big nobles in China. Even some small nobles and farmers took the side of the marshal, and his army soon reached 30000.

    The second news is about Stefan charnietsky. The famous general of the Republic, a staunch supporter of King Jan kazimiz and queen ludwiga, immediately stationed in Lublin after lubaomatsky announced the rebellion, blocking lubaomatsky''s rebels from marching into Warsaw, and the two armies had a fierce confrontation.

    The second news flustered Pedro.

    Although Stefan charnietsky was regarded as a traitor by the nobility because he supported the reform of the king and queen, resulting in a great loss of prestige among the nobility, no one would doubt his excellent military talent. Now he has seized the strategic place of Lublin. If lubumatsky tries his best to fight Stefan charnietsky in Lublin, it will have extremely terrible and disastrous consequences.

    "If so," thought Pedro, "then I am blind and unlucky. Lubomatsky is really abandoned and hopeless by God!"

    Pedro''s view is that although lubaomatsky launched a rebellion, his strength is limited. If he wants to win, he must advance to Warsaw as quickly as possible and make trouble. Entanglement with Stefan charnietsky in Lublin is undoubtedly the way to defeat.

    The zamoshic fortress in Lublin was the fortress that once brought home two great owls, khmelinitsky and Carl X. The fortifications here are very advanced. There is no way to conquer them without spending years of time and a huge amount of manpower and materials.

    Now, the fence riders in the Republic are hesitant to wait and see. Although the conservative aristocrats everywhere are ready to move, they will not put their chips on the side of the marshal until the strength of the Royal Army remains and the war between lubomatsky and charnietsky is unclear.

    Once the stalemate broke out, the longer lubomutsky wasted in Lublin and the greater the loss, the more power the king could gather. When King Jan Kazimierz suppressed the conservative forces near Warsaw and led the Royal Army into Lublin, the failure of LV baomatsky was almost inevitable.

    "Should I change my course?" Pedro thought repeatedly. "If he does so recklessly, his own army will turn against him. If the strong attack is unfavorable, it will easily cause dissatisfaction and chaos. Just like the Russians under the city of krotop. Then the rebellion will be put down soon, and his lubomatsky will not be more terrible than a sword with a broken hilt."

    "This fool!" said Pedro.

    Pedro thought that he was going to Warsaw to seek "justice" and did not officially join or support lubomatsky''s rebellion. And the plot between myself and the marshal does not have any human and material evidence. Now I join King Jan kazimiz to help him put down the rebellion. Although I can''t get as much as lubaomatsky promised me, I can obviously get King Jan kazimiz''s forgiveness.

    Just when Pedro was going to abandon lubaumatsky, who was not in good luck, bakhte, yelisi and count kasimir teshkevich came back and forth.

    They also came to discuss countermeasures with Pedro after hearing the information of the battle between lubomutsky and Stefan charnietsky in Lublin.

    However, the opinions of the two waves of people are different or even diametrically opposite.

    Bachit and yelishei thought that the mercenary regiment went to Warsaw to seek justice, which was different from lubaomatsky''s rebellion. At this time, the army should stop moving forward or help the king put an end to the rebellion.

    Count kasimir teshkovic actively advocated to go to Lublin and meet lubomatsky.

    The disagreement between the two sides made Pedro even more upset. He had to use the tactic of Procrastination - waiting in place.

    By this time, the army had reached the pwotsk area. Go on for another four or five days, as long as you cross the visva River, it will be Warsaw.

    This wait is seven days. During this period, the mercenary regiment and kasimir teshkovic''s regular army were able to maintain order, but those aristocrats and civilian regiments who flocked to make trouble in the neighborhood. These people who lack military discipline are drunk from morning till night, wandering in the streets, shouting, arguing and fighting with people from other provinces, cities and counties; Some people in the militia controlled by bachit were also polluted by this bad atmosphere. They went to the countryside in groups to sneak around and flirt with women.
