The robbery of arms is a big deal. After knowing this, Chechen immediately called all the officers of the mercenary regiment to discuss. These include Pedro, deputy head of the mercenary regiment, Fatima, captain of the guard, Ingrid, chief quartermaster, and fedot, captain of the musketeers.

    "The soldiers who came back said that his royal highness had brought us a total of 80 muskets and the same number of uniforms, 30 sets of long Musketeers'' uniforms and weapons, and a four pound small gun. These equipment were forcibly accepted by an army claiming to be under the city master of Anjie kemitz 30 miles away from Polotsk. Because the army did have the city master of Anjie There are a large number of people to cut. The soldiers guarding the arms dare not stop them. They can only watch their general take the fire away. "

    Chechen briefly retelled the story to everyone. These were all told by the military officer who escorted the arms sent by the prince to Chechen, and Chechen also asked every link carefully.

    Everyone heard that the mayor of Anjie kemitz was so arrogant that he dared to plunder the materials delivered by Prince yanush to the mercenary regiment. Everyone was filled with indignation.

    "Captain, give me fifty people. I''ll take people to the castle now to ensure that the general''s fire will be taken back." fedot, who has always been a "good man", patted the table and stood up.

    Chechen was silent.

    Chechen also thought of the way fedot said. That was when the officer he had just heard said that the arms had been robbed by Anjie''s men. Chechen thinks that he and the mercenary regiment have enough respect for the Lord of bolotsk. For the daily supplies needed by the mercenary regiment, Chechen didn''t ask Anjie for any money. All of them were purchased by the mercenary regiment in the market with its own funds. Just a few days ago, the head of sneriko village came to sue Anjie, and he paid for it. The mercenary regiment did its utmost to the Lord of Anjie, but he didn''t expect to advance so much. At that time, Chechen was really angry. He was almost ready to call all the mercenaries to the castle, and the general took the fire back.

    But reason finally overcame anger. Chechen is now a courtier of the raziweu family. His words and deeds represent the prince. During his stay in bolotsk, Cherchen finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the raziwiu family and Prince yanush in the Republic.

    "The surface scenery, the dark tide is surging." this is the situation faced by the prince and his family in the Republic. Indeed, the raziweu family is a family with a long history and rich power, especially the first family in Lithuania. The head of the raziwiu family has always been the chief of Lithuania. This tradition lasted until the generation of Prince yanush raziweu. Although Prince yanush''s current position is also the commander of Lithuania, this official position was granted to the prince only after the outbreak of the Russian Polish war when King kazimiz and the Parliament were unavailable. That is, before that, yanush raziweu did not get the post that everyone took for granted.

    To understand this, we have to mention the religious beliefs of the raziwiu family. In the Republic of Poland, where Catholicism is the state religion, the raziwiu family, represented by the prince and his cousin Prince boguslav, Prince of Lithuania, believes in Calvinism. This is undoubtedly different in the Republic where most traditional nobles believe in Catholicism, and is also hostile to most traditional nobles in the Republic.

    Although they dare not openly accuse Prince yanush of his faith in public, they secretly scold the prince as a pagan.

    If the Republic is ruled by a wise king, there is room for reconciliation. But now King kazimiz is a devout Catholic. He was able to defeat his rival Archduke Carl and become king. The Catholic Church behind kazimiz did not do less. After kazimiz ascended the throne, the king certainly wanted to repay his kindness. Politically, this is reflected in the upper house of the Republic. As the largest family in Lithuania, the two princes of the raziweu family are not members of the upper house.

    The raziwiu family and the prince will certainly not wait to die. They used the wealth of their family to attract members of Parliament and City owners for their own use. Among them, the most famous is the "one vote veto" incident in Parliament.

    In such a situation, if Anjie kemitz is the person that the prince wants to win over, chechenmao rashly brings people into conflict with Anjie, which will affect the relationship between the prince and Anjie, his crime will be great.

    Pedro saw that Cherchen didn''t speak. Although he didn''t know Cherchen''s consideration, he could see that fedot''s method didn''t agree with his nephew. He waved and motioned fedot to sit down first.

    "Fedot, let''s hear what other people think," said Pedro. He looked at Fatima: "Fatima, what can you do?"

    Fatima magically inserted a throwing knife into the table.

    "As long as the commander agrees, I will send this flying knife under the pillow of Anjie kemitz overnight. I promise he will send us the arms back obediently tomorrow. I remember that assassins of assassins of assassins did this hundreds of years ago." Fatima said flatly, as if he put the murder weapon under the pillow of Anjie''s bedroom in the heavily guarded castle, It''s like eating and drinking water for her.

    Not only can Chechen not accept this method, but even Pedro is in a cold sweat. Anjie kemitz''s subordinates dare to rob Prince yanush''s arms. It is said that if their servants have their masters, then Anjie must also be a fearless master. Fatima''s threat is good for those who are timid and will definitely be counterproductive to Anjie. Pedro was sure that as soon as the mayor of Anjie found the Throwing Knife, he would definitely order all his troops to kill the mercenary regiment.

    In a cold sweat, Pedro quickly called Ingrid''s name.

    "Dear Ingrid, tell me what you think."

    "Yes, your excellency, deputy commander." Ingrid in the uniform of the mercenary regiment stood up and saluted cleanly. Of all the people, she is the most like a soldier.

    "I don''t think we should have a direct conflict with Lord Anjie now. We should use some civilized methods," Ingrid said.

    "Yes, yes. Civilized way, civilized way," said Pedro happily. Finally, there is a less impulsive person. Fedot and Fatima were too violent just now.

    "Regimental commander and deputy regimental commander, as you know, I was born as a quartermaster. What I do best is to buy things at the lowest price and then sell goods at three times the normal price. According to my observation these days, the goods with the biggest price fluctuation in bolotsk area are gunpowder. On the day we first came to bolotsk, the local gunpowder price has reached 580 a barrel One Taylor. Now at least 600 Taylor have been exceeded. My idea is that we can make up for the loss of arms from other aspects. We buy gunpowder from Riga. I used to be a quartermaster in the Swedish army and know the market of gunpowder. The price of gunpowder in Riga is only 200 Taylor a barrel. If it is transported to Polotsk, the profit per barrel is as high as 400 Taylor Run. I have calculated that the total price of the arms and equipment delivered by the prince to us is about 12000 Taylor. At that time, we will release the news that czar Russia will attack bolotsk soon, and the price of gunpowder will certainly rise again. Then we only need to sell 50 barrels of gunpowder to make up for our losses and buy the same amount of equipment again. " Ingrid said vividly. This is what she is good at. Buying low and selling high is also her best job.

    Ingrid said this method also aroused Cherchen''s interest.

    "That''s a good way." Pedro glanced at Chechen''s expression and knew that Ingrid''s way was the best for his nephew. He praised Ingrid, and then said, "Ingrid, tell me more about it."

    Seeing that her way has been valued by Chechen, Ingrid is also more and more enthusiastic. Her thinking is no longer limited to gunpowder and Polotsk, but extends to a broader latitude.

    "We can not only sell gunpowder, but also buy some fish in Riga, which is also very popular in Lithuania. Then we can transport the fish to werna for sale, buy iron tools there, and sell the tools to Chernigov and Kiev, which is twice the profit. Along the way, we can sell gunpowder to various castles in batches, which is not necessary It will cause drastic price fluctuations and lead to market saturation. At the end of this cycle, we can earn money for two sets of these arms. "

    "Wait, Ingrid. You just mentioned the cycle. How long will it take you to complete such a business?" Chechen was stunned by Ingrid''s terms and place names, but he still grabbed one of the key words.

    "Sir, it will take about three or four months."

    "Three or four months!" Chechen and Pedro were stunned by such a long time. The mercenary regiment can''t afford to wait three or four months.

    "What''s the shortest? I''m talking about selling gunpowder from Riga." Pedro asked reluctantly.

    "A month," Ingrid replied.

    A month is too long. Although it is calm now, no one knows when czar Russia will invade Polotsk. The mercenary regiment must become effective immediately in order to cope with any adverse situation that may arise.

    "I''ll talk to the mayor of Anjie first. Maybe his men are just acting wantonly." Chechen sighed. Now you can only take one step at a time and go to the bottom first.

    "Captain, I''ll go with you," Fatima said immediately. She was afraid that Anjie kemitz would be bad for Chechen.

    "No. I believe our relationship with the Lord of Anjie has not reached that stage." Chechen declined Fatima''s request.

    That afternoon, Chechen rode alone to bolotsk castle.

    In the castle of Polotsk, Anjie kemitz was furious. His whip crackled in the air and rained on his adjutant oshka''s back.

    Anjie''s anger is also related to the forced recruitment of materials by his subordinates. But don''t misunderstand the city Lord. He doesn''t love the people under his rule. Anjie has a plot of deep aristocratic blood. In his opinion, the so-called little nobles in Polotsk area are only farmers with noble names, and each is very tricky. He only collected 1000 more military salaries, and these people complained and even openly refused to pay taxes. It was simply lawless.

    Anjie was angry that she was stabbed to miss kolina bilevich about her forced recruitment of materials. This noble lady is Anjie''s sweetheart and a local aristocrat. When OLINA bilevitch was very young, she was betrothed to Anjie by her grandfather, and the young soldiers were fascinated by her beauty. The two soon fell in love.

    Unlike Anjie, although orina bilevich came from a famous family, her family and the nearby little nobles have always lived in harmony and had a good relationship. This time, when Anjie forcibly levied military expenses in the Polotsk region, some young nobles familiar with the bilevich family pinned their hope of persuading Anjie kemitz on the young lady.

    Of course, the kind lady can''t ignore the neighbors'' requests. She immediately found her lover and spoke to him. Of course, OLINA bilevich attributed the responsibility to the wanton actions of Anjie''s subordinates. Miss olena bilevitch even said that if Polotsk''s military spending was not enough, Anjie could take it from bilevic''s family property.

    Of course, Angela kemitz responds to her lover''s request. He immediately told orina to stop the collection in the future, vowed that there would never be a similar situation, and severely punished his men.

    Miss OLINA bilevich went back contentedly. After the young lady left, Anjie immediately summoned his adjutant oshka.

    "You dog, what do you eat? How dare you go to the village of the bilevich family to collect supplies!"

    Oshka was badly beaten, but he clenched his teeth and didn''t make a sound. Because he knew that the louder he shouted, the more angry his master was.

    Gradually, Anjie was tired. He collapsed on the bench, pointed to oshka''s nose and said, "you say."

    Oshka finally waited for the opportunity to explain. He said, "master, we have carefully avoided the bilewitch family and its nearby properties, but who wants to get so far away, there are also friends of the miss''s family."

    Anjie also knew that it was not his adjutant''s fault. After all, Polotsk was so big. But he lost face in front of orina and always had to vent.

    "It''s also the prince yanushi''s fault. He didn''t work hard. He promised his master to set up a new army, but Taylor didn''t give it to you."

    Speaking of Prince yanush, Anjie was also agitated.

    Deputy commander Pavel sapega of Werner also sent a letter to blame him for handing over the cavalry regiment he asked to send to Werner to yanush raziweu as a guard, allowing the prince to shine in Werner.

    At this time, the guard of the castle came in and reported:

    "My Lord, the head of the mercenary, aleval Chechen, asked to see you."
