The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 438
After Olaf had done the ideological work for Karl, Karl’s mother Princess Katarina and the Danish minister came to dissuade him that night.
When Princess Katarina learned that Olaf had sent her son to the Far East, thousands of miles away, there was only resentment in her heart, and she came to Olaf to ask him to take his life back.
The Danish Minister Jolisson’s purpose is obviously the same as that of Princess Katarina, because in March of this year, King Christensen of Denmark just betrothed his daughter to Carl, and the Danish side naturally does not want the princess to disappear without a married husband. It is even possible for the princess to become a widow before she is married.
Olaf dealt with the two of them kindly at first, but when Princess Katarina became more and more excited, Olaf also frowned and shouted, “Shut up! When will the national event get you a jobless person? The nobles of Quan intervened? It was for his good to let Carl go to the Far East, and it was also the result of the discussion in the Privy Council. You are his mother, and I am also his teacher. Who will harm him? Your son is capable, and I regard him as his heir. Don’t delay his future!”
Olaf made a killing decision in the Swedish Empire in recent years. Every step he took was piled up by mountains of corpses and blood. Princess Katarina was also a person who experienced it. Seeing that Olaf was angry, he didn’t dare to say anything, just sit and sit. There were tears incessantly.
Jolisson turned pale with fright, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then staggered and ran out.
Although Olaf was a hero of a generation, he couldn’t force a woman too much. He rubbed his temples and asked, “It’s also his agreement that Carl went to Daming to be a diplomatic envoy. As long as he helps Ming to fight against Qing, he can come back. At that time, he will choose the official positions in the DPRK, so don’t make fun of you, Carl is a relative of the king, and he has to serve the country.”
Princess Katarina knew that Olaf had compromised, so she left angrily.
Amy walked in with a plate of honey cake and milk pudding, pinched Olaf’s shoulders with a smile, and whispered, “It stands to reason that Princess Katarina should have been dealt with by me, but I have no name and a low status, It’s time for you to marry another princess of noble blood, and it will solve a lot of troubles.”
Olaf was in a good mood, he hugged Amy in his arms and said with a smile, “You are really considerate, Amy, I marked a plot of land for our children in Vinland, and asked little Godoff to do the work in Vinland. Earl, you will also have a place to retire in the future, how about it?”
Amy smiled and said, “I’m very touched when you think about Godeph, but he is still young. He will come out of the mission school next year and let him go to the Huxin Island Military Academy for a few years? In this way, he can also serve the country in the future. Maybe he will inherit it. What about your war ability? If you can make achievements in the future, isn’t it better than the little earl you gave him?”
Olaf has a woman, but his favorite is Amy, because Amy is very sensible and obedient, and can always consider problems for him.
The nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in his arms, and Olaf was in a good mood, and agreed casually, “Just do as you said.”
…
The late autumn weather in Stockholm has turned cold, the pier is frightened by the drizzling rain, and the Daming Mission has also bid farewell to the actual controller of the Swedish Empire – His Highness Olaf, the Godfather Regent, under the leadership of the Golden Lion on which Carl was riding. Leaving the harbor, ready to set off back to Guangzhou.
When the Swedish ministers and peacekeepers led the Ming mission out of the Baltic Sea, Russia and Poland and Lithuania also entered a war in the Cossack-led state.
Russia has invested nearly 80,000 troops in the Cossack-led country, and the number of Cossacks has reached 150,000. Therefore, Poland was really unstoppable at the beginning and has lost the entire Ukraine.
But the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Swedish Empire cut into the battlefield and quickly reversed the situation, and it was not without reason that Olaf joined the battle.
Gu because the Cossacks led the country and got strong support from the Jews when the country was founded. However, after the success of the country, the Jews were ruthlessly abandoned by the Cossacks. Except for a few Jews who got the status of nobility, the social status of more Jews has not been improved. The Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth suffered beatings, looting, burning and various humiliating treatment.
The Hetman of the Cossack-led country is still Khmelnitsky, but in the Jewish world, the Ming emperor more than ten years ago has already become the incarnation of the devil. Olaf appeared as a savior and accepted Poland. The poor Jews in Lithuania and most of the Jews were sent to Vinland to live according to their wishes, so as the savior of the Jewish world, Olaf could help the Jews to punish the unbelieving Cossacks to wage war.
But Olaf was not stupid, he knew very well what Jews were in European culture, so he just instructed the Polish-Lithuanian envoys to send troops to help them deal with the Cossacks and Russia, so the Polish king soon sent a letter of help and gifts .
Olaf sent a large army as a Nordic hegemon and a European talker, so in this war in Ukraine, the roles of Olaf and Sweden are just.
Olaf, who was sitting in the Castle of the Three Crowns, began to receive good news from the front line in mid-November. Although the number of Russian troops is superior, the quality and craftsmanship of artillery and muskets are not as good as Sweden. In addition, the Russian troops are all serfs. Soldiers, combat awareness and combat effectiveness are not as good as the Swedish army.
Swedish commander-in-chief Lennart Torstensen suffered a bit of a loss in the early stage, but he quickly cooperated with the Polish army and fought two annihilation battles outside Kiev and the Dnieper River, annihilating a total of 1 The Wan-Russian coalition forces captured 20,000 coalition troops, suppressing Russia’s arrogance in one fell swoop.
Although the strategy of Russia’s expansion into Ukraine was frustrated due to Sweden sending troops to the Ukrainian region, due to the participation of the Turghut Khanate, the alliance with the Crimean Khanate in the south was thwarted.
^0^ In the war, Russia achieved a major victory.
The territory and population of the Crimean Khanate are far lower than those of Russia, so its national strength is already weaker than that of Russia. It has been able to fight against Russia for many years because Poland, Sweden, and the Ottomans have absorbed major firepower, and with the backing of the Ottomans, they can always Get support, otherwise he may not be an opponent of the Turghut Khanate alone.
The Crimean Khanate has always used the plundering of Cossacks and Russians as white slaves as a means of generating income, so I despised the Russians in my heart, but this time facing the joint attack of the Turghut Khanate and Russia, Crimea The khanate’s cavalry was no match at all.
Five northern and eastern city-states and tens of thousands of miles of pastures were lost in less than a month.
However, although the sultan of the Ottoman Empire was slow to respond, he still sent an army of 50,000 people into Crimea, and the battle situation in the southern battlefield also turned to a stalemate.
Olaf was overjoyed when he watched the war report~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was most worried that the Ottoman Empire’s participation in the war would make Russia shrink back, but now he saw that Russia was determined to find the defeat in the Polish battlefield from Crimea. return.
With the participation of the Turghut Khanate, Olaf felt that delaying it would certainly cost Russia money and food, but the scale of the war might also tilt towards Russia.
Throwing the battle report, Olaf walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, scolding angrily: “Damn, I didn’t expect Russia to pretend to be a force in front of the angels of the Qing Dynasty, and the Turghut Khanate got the land and ranch. He must have entered the honeymoon period with Russia, and he is not afraid that the Qing court will not pay attention to him.
After muttering and venting for a long time, Olaf sat back in his seat, pondered for a moment, and said, “It seems that the king of the Ottoman Empire is doomed, I’ll think of another way, now that potatoes have spread in Europe, it won’t be long before they occupy the black land. Russia is about to usher in a demographic dividend period, and Sweden will be in danger…
I think the Swedish Empire has to rise faster than Russia, and it seems that the annexation of Denmark has to be accelerated…”
