The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 414

Olaf and Cromwell had a long talk, and finally reached an agreement.

Olaf supported Cromwell’s founding of a nation and took control of England. At the same time, he also reached an alliance relationship and would make the same decision on weakening the European Union.

As two island nations far away from the European continent, it is completely possible to reach an agreement between the strong and the weak to ensure the interests of the island nations. Especially now that the 25-year war is over, France, as the last savior of the Protestant Alliance, is doing its best.

It is said that because Christina has deeply spurred Louis XIII with the title of great emperor, the monarch has discussed with Prime Minister Richelieu about crowning herself the Sun King.

Not to mention the hatred accumulated in the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, but considering the current cultural influence of Paris, Britain and Iceland have to suppress France.

After the British Civil War ended, Olaf took his family back to Szczecin. The Vinland Leidang Army left some instructors to help the Irish Independence Army, and the rest of the army returned to Vinland.

Olaf arrived in Szczecin at the end of November. At this time, there was still thin ice in the Baltic Sea. On the third day after Olaf came back, the temperature dropped significantly, and then the Baltic Sea was frozen.

After resting in the castle for a few days, two men who crossed the Baltic Sea on a dog sled came to Ducal Fort.

After a while, Olaf met him in the secret room, recognizing that he was the confidant of his Royal Gendarmerie, and asked: “Umbridge, Fei Lisning, why are you here? Is there anything in the country?”

Umbridge is an Icelander, so naturally he is the most trustworthy. Felisnin is a Finn, but it was the gendarmerie that Olaf selected him to enter. His background is not good, and he is considered one of the few trusted non-Vikings in the gendarmerie. .

After the two knelt down on one knee, Umbridge said: “His Majesty, Christina will be 18 years old in December. She and Uksenschena had a lot of conflicts due to the pro-government affairs. Yesterday, Pell. Brahe was dismissed from the Privy Council, and his son John Uxenschener took over. Odin and Similsson worried that Uxenschener wanted to increase the control of the court and prevent his majesty from influencing the Privy Council. s right.

Your Majesty hopes that you can rush back to the palace as soon as possible. Mr. Li Sheng also meant the same. ”

Olaf frowned and said: “In the past six years, Uksenschiener has tried his best to cultivate his cronies and aristocratic power in order to seize power. It is said that because of military service and other merits, he has been canonized as a nobleman by the Privy Council and granted land to the new Swedish aristocracy. The number is almost the same as that of the old nobles accumulated over hundreds of years.

I estimate that Sweden, like the Ming Dynasty of the same period, has a serious land annexation problem. 80% of the country’s land is controlled by nobles, and 10% belongs to Christina. Only a small number of free farmers own the land, and most of the farmers have become tenant tenants of the nobles. After I gave this data to Your Majesty last year, Christina should be scared too! ”

“What did your majesty say?” Olaf thought for a moment and asked.

Umbridge said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty said: Ask Godfather to enter the court to kill the Prime Minister!”

Olaf grinned and said, “After so many years, he still has this impatient character.”

After a while, Olaf asked, “Is the sea frozen solid when you came?”

“Horse racing is not a problem.”

Olaf nodded and waved: “You go down and rest first.”

After a long time, Olaf’s complex expression calmed down, and he gave a cold snort and said, “Since Christina can’t accommodate Uxen Xiena, I should also clear your side!”

That night, Olaf dispatched guards from the Forbidden Army to control all the Swedes in Szczecin, whether they were merchants, people, or nobles who visited relatives and travellers. He was afraid that there would be some spies from Uxenschena who would leak the news. .

After that, a dozen or so soldiers went to East Prussia and Livonia and Finland. East Prussia was the closest to the Duchy of Pomerania. Olaf asked them to mobilize troops to join him, while Livonia and Finland mobilized directly. The army went to Stockholm.

When there was another heavy snowfall on December 5th, the entire Baltic Sea was already white, but Olaf’s heart was hot. He had already deployed all the Pomeranian cavalry to Szczecin. The three thousand fine knights of Upper Raul and the three thousand fine knights of East Prussia, Olaf had 12,000 cavalry in his hands, and took seven days of dry food and supplies. Olaf led a twelve thousand cavalry regiment from Szczecin. Riding on the ice of the Baltic Sea and heading north with the wind and snow.

Every horse’s hooves are covered with non-slip cloth. In addition to materials and weapons, there are hundreds of horses on sledges, and on the sledge are twenty to thirty pounds of cannon and ammunition.

In the early morning of December 6, Olaf’s army finally arrived at Bornholm Island, rested on the island for a day, and continued to set off on the morning of December 7.

After several days of rushing, Olav’s army finally arrived at Nemde Island outside Stockholm’s east estuary on December 9.

Stockholm’s east estuary is a piece of thousands of islands of varying sizes. Among them, there are castles on Nemde Island and the three northern islands, which are one of the strongholds of the Swedish navy.

Olaf’s army came suddenly, and it was the emperor’s godfather and ministerial minister, so the Swedish navy on Nemde Island was brought under control with little resistance.

Because Olaf departed early, it was the first army to arrive near Stockholm. It was only the next day that Hudik and Jesnylenin led 6,000 knights to arrive. By this time Olaf had 24,000 in his hands. People’s cavalry team is gone.

This cavalry army is not much different from Cromwell’s, and it is also a force that can change the situation in the 25 Years War.

Olaf is confident that his troops are very fast, and he also knows that the Swedish garrison in Stockholm is less than 10,000. As long as he can control Stockholm in one day and quickly catch Uxenschener and his party members, the action on the side of the Qing Dynasty will be successful.

In order to ensure the success of the operation~www.mtlnovel.com~ Olaf held three meetings to discuss with Jesnylenin, Hudik and Raul.

Yesnilinen is very old now, but he is still in good spirits, but he can no longer fight on horseback. Hudik and Raul are in their fifties and are still at the peak of a military general.

At the end of the discussion, Olaf still adopted the opinions of Raul and Hudik, and the army went straight to Stockholm. Because Stockholm is a port city, the defense force is concentrated on the dock, and now the inner port has been frozen, so Olaf’s army can completely When the shore rushed into the city, Uxen Siena’s men would not react in time.

Jesnylenin hoped that the soldiers would be divided into two groups, and the army would be separated to attack the regular army camp outside the city, lest Stockholm could no longer be defeated by the enemy.

Olaf knew that Jesnylenin was an old saying, but there was the Royal Gendarmerie of the Three Crown Palaces. Olaf felt that Stockholm’s city defense forces could not stop it at all, so he made a decision: “We will attack immediately, and the three will lead. The respective armies attacked the Privy Council, the city defense army camp, and the villa area of ​​the congressional ministers.

As long as these three regions are taken down, we will be able to win this battle. We are the loyal ministers invited by your majesty. When the time comes, your majesty will be invited out to govern, and she will naturally dismiss Uksenchena and others. Punishment, I will be the future confidant of the Swedish Empire! ”
