Highlights of the 1101 Jan Sobieski Chapter
The Mongols are here!
He is here!
Come to this land again!
When the news of the Mongols' expedition again reached Eastern Europe, the impact on this land was unprecedented. In fact, in history, the Eastern European countries were in a period of turmoil. The Swedish-Polish War from 1655 to 1660 was just over.
Although Poland had to fight with the Mongols for several years due to the issue of Cossacks during the war. Even if Poland lost Ukraine in the peace agreement signed later, it seemed that the Mongols were still far away for the Eastern European countries.
But a few years later, after Dorgon launched a full-scale attack on Rakshasa, the Eastern European countries finally realized a problem that the Mongols were back!
But they were at a loss for the aggressive Mongolians, including Poland, Sweden and even the Habsburg family. They couldn't tell what the difference was between "Dorgon's Mongolia" and the Mongolians in history. However, they still remembered the painful memories brought to this land by the Mongols, but despite this, they really didn't take the threat from the Tatars too much. After all, in the past few hundred years, the Crimean Tatars had invaded Rakshasa many times. Poland even regarded Eastern European countries as "raisins" and plundered local people as slaves.
What did the Mongols want to do this time?
Obviously, they no longer want to "plunder the platinum that will move around", but to occupy the land.
Faced with the fierce Mongols, the Eastern European countries soon began to collude and contact each other. In fact, before that, facing the Ottoman invasion, under the auspices of the Habsburg family, the Eastern European countries formed an anti-Austrian alliance composed of the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Poland, Rakshasa and other countries to jointly resist the evil pagans' invasion of the Christ world.
However, these countries had fought each other for several years. Although the common pressure changed from enemies to allies, they were still ulterior motives. In addition to facing the threatening Habsburg family directly, other countries were just fighting for soybeans. After all, the expansion of the Ottoman Empire was mainly concentrated in Central Europe.
But now, with the rise of the Mongols, Rakshasa bears the brunt of almost all the pressure. At this moment, the Rakshasa people finally realized the helplessness of the Habsburg family.
In 1667, from the spring of this year, Tsar Alexei I had to face the full invasion of the Mongols and the reality that the Mongols were about to come to Moscow. So he once again sent his envoys to Sweden and Poland to ask for their assistance. The envoys of the Tsar began to frequently shuttle between Eastern European countries, lobbying them to send troops.
"Gentlemen, we are facing a choice now!"
The Polish king Mihau Krebout Vicinevitzki, sitting on the throne, glanced at the ministers below. The report placed before everyone came from Moscow's request for help.
"Are you accept the request of Tsar Alexei, send reinforcements to Moscow, or reject them!"
In the face of the king's inquiry, almost all the nobles remained silent. The system of the Polish Lithuanian Federation was different from other countries. His king was elected among the nobles. The king did not have much authority, at least King Mihau did not. All the nobles, especially the great nobles, had different thoughts. Even when facing the invasion of Sweden, those nobles both resisted and chose to cooperate, and even opposed Poland with the Swedes. This is also the reason why Poland is called "a plate of loose sand".
Now, in the face of such a major event, King Mihau's decision did not play any role, and ultimately, the great nobles still needed to decide whether to send reinforcements.
Send troops to support Rakshasa?
There seems to be no need for this!
Instead of supporting the Rakshasa people, it is better to hunt and snatch a dog in your own manor. Besides, it costs so much money. It is better to keep a few mistresses than to have that money.
Just when the great nobles were thinking differently and wanted to refuse, Jan Sobesky, the commander-in-chief of the Polish army, stood up. He was not the "John III". As for the title of the most genius commander in the 17th century, it would have to wait until the Botu war in a few years later. As for the leadership of the coalition forces to lift the siege of Vienna in the Battle of Vienna, the Ottomans were unable to capture the glory of Central and Eastern Europe, there would probably be no more.
However, this did not prevent him from becoming the commander-in-chief of the Polish Army. In fact, like many Polish nobles, he opposed Poland with the Swedish army in his early years, and later became the leader of expelling Sweden. Although he was a 25-year-old, this did not prevent him from becoming the Grand Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Army with outstanding military command.
He looked around and said.
"The Mongols are about to approach the city of Moscow. The Mongol Khan Dorgon personally led 500,000 Mongols and Cossacks. They will surely occupy Moscow and will once again incorporate the entire Rakshasa into their rule. Just like they had ancestors hundreds of years ago, they occupied that land, and that land will fall into darkness again."
No one in Poland would feel strange to the Mongols, because the Mongols once ruled the land. Even their ancestors had to pay tribute to the Mongols and sacrifice their daughters to preserve their power. In those dark years, everything was so unbearable to look back on.
"Yes, Moscow is too far away from us, yes, there are conflicts between us and Moscow. Yes, even the religions they believe in are different from us, but don't forget that at least, the cross of the Orthodox Church is also the cross of Christ. At least, we are similar, but what about the Mongols? Whether they are Dorgon's Mongols or the Mongols of the past, they are all Mongols, and the Mongols who once treated us like animals. If they occupied Moscow and the Rakshasa perished, then where is the next country they invaded?"
Just like more than ten years later, facing the fierce Ottomans and facing the reality of Vienna being surrounded, Jan Sobeski stood up and delivered his speech to all the nobles, and finally successfully convinced them.
"It's Poland, it's us, our land will be trampled by the Mongols again. Whether it's my castle or your castle, it will burn again. Even if we live, we will survive under the enslavement of the Mongols, but today we die to arrive at the Mongols, at least for Christ! Death for Poland and Lithuania!"
Jan Sobeski, who stood up, became firm in his tone.
"Today, I ask you, for Christ, for Poland, for Lithuania, for ourselves, to send our army to Moscow, for our freedom, to mobilize every bit of our strength, to repel the Mongols in Moscow, and to crush their attempts to enslave us again!"
Just as in another world, he once again shouted loudly to these Polish nobles, not only for him, but also for the faith he believed in.
In another world, it was his voice that convinced everyone and allowed those people to set foot on the battlefield willingly under his call.
In the end, they saved Europe and the Christian civilization. Even hundreds of years later, the Poles were still proud of it.
At that time, they saved Europe and the civilization of Christ. Now, despite the time being advanced and despite the changes in the enemy, Jan Sobesky was still like another world. He stood up again. Like everyone, he made his voice and made his request. To defend, to defend this civilization, to defend their faith.
At least at this moment, Jan Sobesky is worthy of respect. When everyone chooses to retreat and chooses immediate interests, what he defends is precisely what many people ignore. Perhaps this is also why many people regard him as a hero in Europe.
After the speech of Jan Sobesky, all the nobles shouted, but cheered for Jan Sobesky.
This Poland mobilized again...
