The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Mrs. Korff’s home is in the eastern part of Myatersk, where most of the little nobles who fled to Myatersk lived. It was originally a small village, but as more and more nobles arrived, it gradually developed into a residential area.

Like the spontaneously formed residential areas of other cities, the environment in the East District is messy and messy. There is no unified plan for the buildings here, there are tall and short buildings. Most of the houses are made of wood, and a few occasionally use masonry.

The carriage stopped at an intersection. The road in front of this intersection was so crowded that there was no room for a carriage to pass.

After everyone got out of the car, Mrs. Corff gave the coachman a Taylor, and the coachman turned the front of the car and left.

"Mrs. Corff, why don't you live in the castle area?" Chris frowned as he looked at the environment here. She once heard that Prince Boguslav said that in order to receive the nobles who fled, the Laziviu family built inns near the family castles in Miyatersk and Werna, where all the nobles’ expenses were spent. They are all paid by the Laziviu family, and they can live as long as they want.

Regarding Chris' question, Mrs. Corff could only respond with a wry smile. When their family first arrived in Myatersk, they indeed lived in the castle area, and they were indeed welcomed by a very high standard. According to the title of her husband, the family of four got a room of more than 100 square meters. Every month, the steward of the Laziviu family will send pocket money. At that time, the current Prince Boguslav was still studying abroad, and part of his Laziviu family's wealth was taken care of by his cousin, Prince Yanush.

But after a few years, Mrs. Corff's husband was removed from the parliamentary election, and the situation of their family took a turn for the worse. First, the fifty Taylors per month disappeared, and then the steward changed their family to a small room on the grounds of more people and fewer rooms.

Duke Corff was used to living a life of fine clothes and clothes, and his act of taking care of the affairs was regarded as an insult to him. The duke left the inn angrily and took the whole family to live in the hotel outside.

Then, due to the depletion of resources and the duke’s alcoholism and doing nothing, the environment of the Corfu family was getting worse and worse. If Mrs. Corff had not become Boguslav’s mistress by chance, the family would have been sleeping on the streets.

But how could Mrs. Corff, who is stronger, say these pains?

Mrs. Corff led the three people across the path to the door of a wooden two-story building, and then opened the door.

"Mommy mommy."

As soon as Mrs. Corff opened the door, a boy about the size of Cheor Chen ran over with a little girl about ten years old.

They are Mrs. Corff's children, the boy is Adam and the girl is Mikari.

Seeing that his mother was wearing an unfamiliar dress and three people behind her, both children stopped.

"Adam and Mikari, these three are my mother's friends." Mrs. Corff said gently with a smile.

"Hello." The two children wanted Cheerchen and the others to greet them.

Cheorchen looked at the room. This room is very small, with only a table and a hanger in the room. Obviously, the Kerff family's bed should be on the second floor. Some brown bread and milk were placed on that table, but most of them were various wine bottles.

"Where is your father?"

"Father is out." Adam replied.

Mrs. Corff understood that her husband was out looking for a drink again. She stopped talking, but wiped a few greasy chairs and invited the three of them to sit down.

Chris didn't expect Mrs. Corff to be so poor under her glamorous appearance.

"Is it weird? Actually, it's already good for us to have this kind of life. Those little nobles who fled with our family to Miatelsk, now many are either starving to death or selling children and selling daughters and living in a hungry life."

"Damn Cossack." Cheerchen cursed when he heard Mrs. Corff talk about the horror of the escaped nobleman and couldn't help but sympathize.

"But it's all right now," said Mrs. Korff, walking up to Adam and proudly said, "Prince Boguslav has granted you permission to join his cavalry regiment."

Hearing that he could join the prince’s mercenary group, Adam was also overjoyed.

"Mother, I will work hard, and then fight back to Ukraine to regain everything we have." Adam swears to his mother.

"In fact, the Cossacks of Zaporozhye cannot be entirely blamed. It is the policies of the Republic of Poland and the inconstancy of those in power that forced the Cossacks to turn against the Cossacks and also harmed themselves. The Cossacks had already surrendered, but the Polish nobles who returned to Ukraine did. Violating the treaty, they intensified their persecution of the Cossacks and peasants, which forced the Cossacks to rebel again."

At this time, Chris put forward a different view.

Cheerchen was surprised by what Chris said. For a long time, Chechen heard about how abhorrent the Cossack rebels of Zaporozhye brought disaster to the entire Ukrainian plains. The Republic of Poland is the righteous party ~ www.wuxiamtl.com ~ The army of the Republic suppressed a rebellion. It can be heard from Chris that in the current situation, the kings and nobles also have to bear at least half of the responsibility.

Then Chechen thought of the "big nose" story that Yuri, a boy in the village, told him when they first arrived in Smolensk and stopped in Zamosye Village. At least Yuri and the others are nobles who like Cossacks more than Poland.

"Your Excellency Chris, you can't say that. Since God made one person a noble and another person a peasant, then this is God's will. Both nobles and peasants should act in accordance with God's arrangements. A peasant wants to be an aristocrat. , Eating and dressing like nobles, then it is against the will of God and should be punished. And although we collect their rent, we also protect them. Without our noble army, Crimean The Tatars have already captured all the people in Ukraine." Mrs. Korff retorted loudly after hearing what Chris had said.

"But if a farmer has his hands chopped off because he stole a chicken from the landlord's house, isn't this punishment too heavy?"

Obviously, Chris disagrees with Mrs. Corff's view, she cited an example.

"That's what the law says. If you don't follow the law, you should be punished." Mrs. Corff retorted.

Seeing the two of you and me, Cheer Chen didn't understand how the two people who were good before suddenly quarreled. Moreover, the words of the two people turned out to be very reasonable to him.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open.

The moment the door opened, Cheerchen smelled a strong smell of alcohol. At the gate, a middle-aged man with yellow and white hair was carrying a wine bottle, and most of the wine in the bottle was gone.

"Dad." Mikari shouted.
