On the thirteenth day after Yakov cherkaski retreated, an envoy of Czar Russia came to potosk. The purpose of his trip was to redeem the nobles captured in the war and the lost military flags.

    It is reasonable to say that such exchange activities will be carried out only after the war is over and the contract is signed. However, Yakov cherkaski lost miserably this time, and most of the captured nobles were the children of dignitaries who came to Smolensk from Moscow for gold plating. If these people had any mistakes in the borotsk dungeon, Yakov cherkaski would definitely accept the anger from Moscow. Yakov cherkaski had to send envoys to the Lord of a belligerent country while the war was still going on.

    Anjie kemitz had intended to strip the Tsar''s Russian envoy naked and tie him back to Smolensk on the horse. But orina stopped him.

    Orina said to Anjie, "although it is not lawful for czar Russia to send so-called envoys to redeem captured officers during the war, sir, if you do so, we are no different from the barbaric Tatars. If Yakov cherkaski publicizes this matter, people in other countries will laugh at your actions."

    Anjie had already obeyed orina''s words. At this time, listening to the young lady''s words, she quickly kissed orina''s hand and said, "it''s my luck to have you by my side. Indeed, we can''t let the Czar Russians think we are barbarians like them. Then I''ll meet the messenger."

    So Anjie ordered his men to let the messenger into the city. In order to let the messenger realize his momentum as the Lord of Polotsk, Anjie specially asked the nobles and officers with positions in the city to come to the hall.

    This, of course, also includes Chechen and his uncle Pedro. After Chechen and Anjie eliminated their differences and concluded an alliance brother, Chechen and his mercenary regiment moved into the city. Near the castle, Anjie specially set aside an area for the mercenary regiment. Chechen and Pedro also became regular guests of the castle banquet. They were invited by Anjie to drink in the castle almost every day.

    Soon, the envoy of Czar Russia was taken to the hall of the castle. The messenger was dressed in a French court dress, with a thorn sword hanging from his waist, and several strands of blond hair were exposed from the white wig. If he didn''t know his identity, Cherchen really couldn''t see that he was a Russian. Instead, he would think he was a French or German.

    "I''m general Yakov cherkaski''s envoy, bojankin." the envoy, bojankin, took off his courtesy and bowed deeply to Anjie, the head of the hall. At this time, Chechen saw that the messenger had only one eye, and his other eye was covered with a black eye mask.

    "Was your eyes shot blind by any of our warriors? If you need it, I allow you to take revenge now by dueling."

    Although he promised orina to meet the envoy of Czarist Russia, Anjie couldn''t help taunting bojankin when he saw his appearance.

    Hearing what Anjie said, Anjie''s men laughed wildly.

    But bojankin was unmoved. He raised his head and said with great pride: "No polish can hurt me. Unfortunately, I didn''t participate in the previous battle of Polotsk. Otherwise, I really hope to fight with everyone present. As for my eyes, I lost them when I fought with the Crimean Tatars who came from Azov castle. At that time, my saber killed three Tatars and stabbed them with a dagger Then a nogai sneaked at me with a bow and arrow, but I also gave him a bullet. "

    All the people present stopped laughing after listening to bojankin''s words. Their eyes at bojankin also changed, as if they were looking at a hero. The number of Tatars in Crimea has been invading the grasslands of Eastern Europe for hundreds of years, not only czar Russia, but also the Republic of Poland. A person who fights and is injured with Tatars will be regarded as a warrior everywhere.

    "I take back what I said. Please sit down, Bo Jiangjin. Let''s sit down and talk," Anjie said to Bo Jiangjin and asked the guards to bring a chair.

    Bo Jiangjin thanked Anjie. After taking his seat, he once again expressed his intention to Anjie:

    "General Yakov cherkaski wants to redeem the officers and flags captured in this battle."

    "Sir, I''d like to remind you. We were still in the war," the borotsk City magistrate reminded Potemkin.

    Bojankin nodded.

    "Yes, we are still in the war. And only God knows how long the war will last. Maybe ten years, maybe twenty years. So do you want to keep those prisoners all the time?"

    "We can dedicate them to the commander and the king," said the mayor.

    "Of course you can do that," bojankin nodded.

    "But only a few benefits can be obtained. I heard that your king is notoriously stingy. And he is now in Ukraine. Do you want to send him all the way? As for your commander, he is now trapped in Vilna by our prince Alexei."

    The news of Bo Jiangjin is earth shattering. Werner was also besieged by the army of Czar Russia!

    There was a murmur of discussion among the people present, and their faces showed uneasiness. If the news of Potemkin is true, the crisis of potosk is far from over.

    "That''s enough. Everyone calm down." Anjie shouted at the people present, and then he said to bojankin: "Commander yanush raziwiu will surely defeat your prince. But what you said is also reasonable. We really shouldn''t keep those prisoners all our life. Then what conditions does your Yakov cherkaski want to redeem the prisoners?"

    Anjie kemitz suddenly changed his mind and was willing to listen to the conditions brought by Potemkin. Of course, it was because Werner was surrounded. Werner''s encirclement showed that the Russian army''s offensive troops did not stop on Yakov cherkaski''s way. Then if the commander-in-chief was defeated again, it was likely that more Russian troops would be transferred back to attack Polotsk. Polotsk was obvious We have to face another fierce battle. The war is about money, but the reality is that Polotsk lost a lot of personnel and materials in the battle he just experienced, and it is difficult to cope with the next battle if it is not supplemented. Therefore, Anjie made his mind on the prisoners of war and hoped to make a profit from them.

    "This is a letter from our general to you." bojankin stood up and handed the letter from Yakov cherkaski to Anjie kemitz. The guard next to the latter came up and took the letter to Anjie.

    In the letter, Yakov cherkaski praised Anjie''s Bravery (Anjie doesn''t believe a word of these words, because the Polotsk defense war is not under his own command at all, and Yakov can''t be unaware of this.) Then he praised Anjie as a noble with chivalry, and said that he believed that Anjie would treat the prisoners with treatment consistent with the title of captured noble; at the end of the letter, Yakov cherkaski promised to redeem all the people with 20000 Taylor.

    After reading the letter, Anjie shook the letter paper and said to bojankin, "twenty thousand Taylor, are these people only worth this price?"

    Bojankin was obviously ready. He smiled and said: "These are all ordinary officers. I think the city Lord has interrogated this point. I don''t hide it from you. Some of them are indeed the children of some of our nobles, but there are no special people. Our general wants to redeem them, and he doesn''t want to affect his relationship with Moscow because of this."

    Anjie admitted this statement. Although the titles of these captives are loud, including high-ranking nobles such as earls and dukes, everyone knows that in the territory of Eastern Europe, the level of titles does not represent the wealth of an aristocrat. Many times, a Duke works for people whose titles are lower than his own. As for the children of the great noble family, as long as they are not inherited People don''t have much value.

    "Forty thousand Taylor, not a penny less." Anjie quoted a price. He doubled the original price of Potemkin!

    Bojankin shook his head in embarrassment. The price of 40000 Taylor offered by Anjie was too outrageous, which was far more than Yakov cherkaski could accept.

    "Twenty five thousand Taylor, this is the bottom line given to me by the general," said Potemkin.

    Anjie looked at oshka. On weekdays, Anjie is a money spender. He doesn''t have much concept of money. All money is in the charge of his adjutant oshka.

    Oshka put his hand behind his back and gestured to Anjie that the price was acceptable.

    "Then it''s a deal," Anjie said to bojankin.

    "Wait a minute."

    At this time, orina suddenly interrupted Anjie.

    "What''s the matter? OLINA."

    "Lord of the city," orina went down the steps. She saluted Anjie and Potemkin, and then continued, "since it is an exchange of prisoners, should you Russia also release our prisoners?"

    Hearing what OLINA said, everyone in the hall showed a strange expression. As a winner, Polotsk had no powerful people captured.

    "Who are you talking about?" Bo Jiangjin asked strangely.

    "Fyodor obkhovic and his daughter Helena," said Miss olena bilevich.

    On hearing the name, the discussion in the hall became louder. Of course, those present knew that Fyodor obkhovic was the Lord of Smolensk and was captured after he surrendered in the battle of Smolensk.

    "This..." bojankin was a little embarrassed. Fyodor obkhovic was an important general of the first Polish Republic captured by czar Russia, which was of extraordinary significance.

    "I need to ask general Yakov," bojankin thought for a while and finally replied.

    "Of course, but if you don''t release fiordo obhovich and his daughter, we can only apologize," OLINA said soft and hard.

    Anjie also agreed and gave potgen half a month. Of course, if the Czar Russian army dares to step into the land of Polotsk within this half month, the agreement between the two sides will automatically expire, and Anjie threatened that he would execute all the prisoners.

    "Olena, why did you propose to exchange for Fyodor obhovich and his daughter?"

    Asked Anjie after bojankin stepped down.
