Sweden in 1501 HELP

[unmerged(1463)]

Hello. It is 1501. I conquered whole russia. BUT i could not annex. So i demanded Novgorod and other valuable areas. And i got them. I fixed so the religious tolerance against ortodox is good.
BUT still uproars are everywhere in my empire. And i have 0 in stability. but rising.
ANd i am still a Vassal state to denmark. At this moment. I can hold the Russians away from my land. BUT not the Danes. I have very few troops in Swedich mainland.
So that is impossible and most troops go to kill the rebbells.
And furhtermore i am behind russia in military sciense. AND A LOT. cause all is spent on stability.
And one more thing. RUSSIAN area KOLA and Far Karelia. Is under control of Rebells. And i cant attack them . so i get a -1 Nearby Rebell forces in provinces near them.
What shall be my next move ?
Wait for stability +3 and then prepare for war with them?
Wait for Kola and Far Karelia to make independence from RUssia. And then assault them ? (How long does that take ?
OR assemble as many troops as i can and do (as my tactics normally is) Blitzkrieg.
Please help
Sincerily

I would slow down a bit... get your stability up to +3 (it shouldn't be below for a very long time....). Invest a lot on land tech so you at least can beat russia in land tech. When your stability is at +3 the little +1 you get from rebels in neighbouring provinces wont bother you... Remember that for the next 10-20 years there will be a great chance for rebels in your newly conquered provinces....

I agree with Cobos - slow down and consolidate, get your stability up. It's only 1501 after all! Expand too quickly and you'll have trouble keeping your stability, fighting rebellions and keeping your badboy value down, thus being attacked more often by Denmark and Russia as well as others.

Rebellions can be just as effective at ruining your country as enemy countries can be - getting your stability up and quelling the rebellions first is the best way. Fighting more wars will only lower your stability and make your population more rebellious.

I ett hörn

Jag upplever din situation som mycket svår,det viktigaste är att bryta sig fri från
Danmark.
Jag koncentrar mig på detta de första åren.
I herrens år 1530 har jag annekterat Danmark, Hansan,Tyska orden
äger delar av Ryssland,Polen-litauen,Bardeburg osv.
Kontollerar Östersjöns alla provinser.
Har en Arme på ca 350000 man och ca 250 kanoner.
Jag avvaktar just nu en krigsförklaring från Polen-litauen då jag helst inte
vill anfalla själv då stabiliteten minskar.
