After casefire and finishing wars with Tatars/Turkey new polish king
Vladislav IV Wasa decided to finish with that taxes once for ever. Good prepared and really big polish army (30.000 highly skilled veterans) was so dangerous for Sweden (fighting into 30years war) that they canceled taking taxes.
If you suggest that the entire Polish army at the time consisited of 30.000 men then OK, but I find it hard to believe that a country - robbed of its most profitable ports and after years and years of fighting - could muster 30.000 men solely for the purpose of scaring the Swedish off.
The Swedish were already severly weakened by the defeat at Nördlingen and were eager not to get involved in a second war.

I don't know what propagand-istic history is being taught in Poland, but that sure is biased. Gustavos Adolphus was a hero and nothing less!
No but seriously, I would be careful to use any records of the "opposite" king doing this and that, most of that is historic propaganda. For what I know about Trzciana, Gustav attempted a counter-attack but was beaten back.
