Rise of Rurik Chapter 1026

The appearance of the cavalry attracted the attention of the working Novgorods. In fact, everyone didn't need to say anything. The vigilant peasants straightened up. They had realized everything.

The Slavic warriors in the army ran wild with their flags high, shouting as they galloped: "The king is back! The army is back!"

The cavalry rushed all the way to the busy city of Smolensk, and ran wildly on the main road, causing the whole city to boil.

After all, Old Otto, the Supreme King, was no match for the years. He did not die. It was this old body that really needed crutches to maintain stability.

"It turned out to be the cavalry making noise? Hurry up! Someone! Help me to have a look!"

The attendant hurriedly helped the old king to help him put on at least the gilded leather helmet and hang the sword on his belt. Otto didn't want his descendants to see his old-fashioned appearance, and tried his best to maintain the image of a warrior.

Queen Svetlana holds Prince Osborn with one hand and Oleg with the other.

Many of Rurik's wives and concubines also showed up with their sons in their arms.

The royal family was almost all in Novgorod City. They walked out of the palace and were shocked by the cavalry who had been prepared.

Fisk saw the old Otto at a glance, and was horrified that the legendary hero is now full of vicissitudes.

He hurriedly ordered his brothers to dismount, and then they all knelt down to salute the Supreme King.

"Is it Fisk? You...you are back?" Otto asked slightly hoarsely.

"No! We are the king's advance army, just to convey the news of triumph."

"My son Rurik is finally back!" The Queen Mother Niya couldn't hide her excitement, and her questions were filled with tears.

"The huge fleet is on its way, but it will take some time due to the rush of the river. And we brought back a lot of spoils..."

"Okay! You don't have to say it." The excited Otto had realized everything. Without his son Rurik, he would be the real king of the locality. Now he retains extremely high power and is qualified to issue orders to Fisk.

"Fisk!"

"exist."

"Lead your men on a cruise around the lake! Tell all the cities and villages that pass by that the king is triumphant, especially the Pechenegs who live in the south of the lake! Let Kagan go back to Novgorod first, and his Mind you brother, let Rick have a good chat. Go!"

"As ordered."

The cavalrymen who finally arrived in Novgorod finally got a short rest, and the joy of returning home rushed over their heads. They did not want to stay in the cavalry barracks for a good rest, but drank water and fed the horses some oats. south.

They swaggered through the market at Old Otto's request, and told anyone they encountered the news of Master Wang's triumph.

They deliberately raised the Ross flag high, and on the way to the south, hundreds of hooligans and onlookers followed.

The cavalry soldiers were divided into two groups. The Slavic warriors in the team went west, because there were a large number of native Slavic manors on the west bank of the lake. Almost all of these soldiers were young masters of the manor, and their actions were very ostentatious.

Fisk naturally led the main force to the east coast. They had to pass through Mstisk and Youth City to declare a great victory to the Vikings and the triumph of the king.

Once, the manor owners were ordered to hand over their eldest son or second son, who were "taken away" by Prince Ross as hostages and stuffed into the newly formed cavalry.

Before the War of 840, although the cavalry showed extraordinary strength, they did not make a shocking record after all. Those fighting cavalry were a useful addition, unlike in 840, the Russ cavalry became a task force for independent action, and this maverick completed a major victory in the capture of the East Frankish king.

The concept of Frank is too unfamiliar to the native Slavs on Lake Ilmen. That is probably an existence that was once in awe of the so-called Varyag people.

The cavalry appeared in their own manor, and the owners of the manor knew each other, and naturally they also knew the cubs of the neighbors.

Their appearance on horseback is like a dream!

The old father greeted him with a smile on his face with open arms, and Lao Muqi rushed up to greet him with tears in his eyes.

The relatives and clansmen of the cavalrymen rushed forward to ask what happened.

This is the perfect opportunity to show off! The young warrior held up his burlap sack and handed the heavy, clinking bag to his manor father.

They guessed that it was money, and when they thought that the bag was full of coins, the old guys shivered with excitement. As the hemp rope was pulled away, all the fine Frankish silver coins inside were reflecting a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

The owner of the old manor even fainted, and the whole farm was shocked.

They still didn't know how great the cavalry team's capture of the king of the Eastern Kingdom was, so they looked for the money. On the whole, all the native Slavic farms around the lake are seriously short of cash, and there are two major wealth they have, wheat and cheap labor. Silver coins are the last circulating currency in the kingdom today, and each farm is trying to find a way to convert the wealth they produce into silver coins for storage. In this regard, the owners of the manor, the Boyar nobles, have a very strong action force.

Sure enough, just like the oldest proverb, robbery is the fastest way to get rich.

War is a quick way to loot silver coins, and the expedition's brat really took out a lot of cash.

The manor owners had a major misunderstanding about this. Since the cavalry had captured them like this, wouldn't the king's army loot more? As everyone knows, the cavalry enjoys most of the spoils in cash, simply because they deserve it.

On the east and west banks of the lake, the cavalry brothers tried their best to show off.

After they passed by, some news that made the farmers' information go viral - the king was serious and completely exempted the agricultural tax this year.

On the east bank of the lake, all those "hidden people" were forcibly relocated here to open up wasteland and farmland, giving these Slavic people tax breaks, agricultural tools and other preferential treatments. At first, they repulsed the relocation out of instinctive fear, and the governor had to use military threats to take them to the lake and settle down like a prisoner.

Over the years, those lakeside grasslands have been transformed into acres of land. Although the fertility of the land is not as good as those of well-developed fields, it is at least more productive than farming in the forest.

Only after enjoying the sweetness were these "hidden people" truly willing to accept the control of King Ross. They still kept vigilance against the flamboyant cavalry, and they jumped and jumped in ecstasy at the news of tax exemption as they passed by.

In the Rus Principality, the core area of ​​the Rus Kingdom, a grain-based economic system is implemented, and silver coins exist as a general equivalent and are the mainstream transaction currency.

However, in ordinary rural life, each manor is always self-sufficient, and the essence of barter is to exchange food for other people's good things. More than 30 farms were forcibly relocated to the long-snake farms on the east bank of the lake. They are the poorest people, their economic conditions are fragile, and their development speed cannot keep up with the old farms. It seems that only through years of tax-free policy can the lean sheep grow a lot of wool.

Selling grain is the safest way for them to accumulate capital for development. This is the fundamental reason why people are so happy about the definitive tax-free news.

The cavalry swept through the clouds, and they ran along the dirt road by the lake, looking at the people who were turning the soil and planting the fields, and at the long boats cruising on Lake Ilmen.

It is the masterpiece of the Novgorod Shipyard, which is in charge of the third oldest of the Hortra family. The shipyard focuses on building small ships suitable for inland river navigation. Undoubtedly, the most traditional longboat is the most versatile.

There was no chance before, but now each farm is raising funds to buy their own longboats, which makes it easier for the farms to transport their products to the market in Novgorod to sell, and they can also fish nearby, and they can learn from the Varangians to go far away. Adventure to discover new possibilities.

Therefore, a Sauron River that came from the west and finally poured into Lake Ilmen, because the old manors living in the west of the lake began to have Varyag longboats for voyage exploration, they finally began to explore.

They dressed up as Varyags and began to explore on a small scale, because they knew that they could find Pskov as long as they went all the way west. The Slavic people on the shore of Lake Ilmen did not regard the people on the shore of Lake Psk as the same race, but only knew that their languages ​​were very similar, and they probably had very ancient ancestors. The exploration of going retrograde along the Sauron River and going straight to the west has just begun. What the local manor knows is that the lake is the Lovady River basin at the southern end, which is being actively explored and developed by the Ostara people among the Varangians.

The area where the Lovati River empties into Lake Ilmen has a vast and gentle area, where the water and grass are abundant and the farmland is suitable for grazing.

But in the eyes of the old manor, the place has become extremely unfamiliar.

There are a lot of livestock, especially a lot of horses. Large and small tents appeared on the grass, as well as wooden shacks at a distance from each other.

There has always been a group of short black-haired prairie people living here, and they have mixed with the Ostara people to form a powerful new force.

In the area that legally belongs to the Duchy of Ostara, Boyar of the old and new Slavic farms only has the right to reclaim the area near his settlement as new farmland, and has no right to enclose the land at the southernmost end of the lake.

On the contrary, the southern region has become a wonderful and wonderful place.

At first, a special market appeared, and the goods sold were actually captives.

Today, the city of New Ostara is completely fortified, with a strong hardwood fortress standing on the Lovady River. They repaired and leveled the roads, and built a large number of shantytowns on the outer walls of the fort.

The owner of the city is Duchess Carlotta and her son Karl.

Although Karl was the son of Rurik, he inherited the title of Ostara.

Even Rurik does not have a definite surname, or in other words, people today do not have a strong surname obsession. However, the prototype of the surname has appeared. Carlota has the title, and her son will inherit the title. The fief Ostara is equivalent to their surname, so according to the local Slavic language, it is Ostarov.

Karl Ryurikovich Ostalov, the little boy has such a Slavic name.

Carlotta didn't care about it, but his son was only four years old, and he cared about his son's marriage very much. "He has to arrange a virtuous wife for him, a woman who can obey me and don't have any opinions. This wife must give me more grandchildren."

Carlotta is the "Ostara She-Wolf". She guards the southern gate of the kingdom. A weak noblewoman cannot shoulder this important responsibility. She is indeed fierce, and the current situation forces her to be fierce and decisive.

Just like in the homeland of Sweden, the newly-born Principality of Ostara immediately revived the old line of business in the district - animal husbandry.

It happens that the area where the Lovati River flows into the lake is the best livestock grazing land visible to the naked eye in the region. Eight years of slow development finally gathered enough energy to enter the fast lane of development.

To be fair, she was ordered by her husband Rurik to actively cooperate with Kagan, the prince of the Pecheneg Khanate, so that the comprehensive strength of New Ostara broke out.

Here, it is not appropriate to organize a fleet belonging to the Ostarans, and it is the right way to actively train the cavalry.

Now, the gorgeously dressed standing cavalry meets the local cavalry in New Ostara. One side is raising the blue flag on a white background, and the other side is the bull's head flag on a white background.

Both sides greeted in Norse, and Fisk's sudden visit was very unexpected and extremely gratifying.

Carlotta could have a hunch that the king was destined to triumph this spring, but he never imagined that the king's advance cavalry would act as him all the way.

"He misses me! He misses me..."

Carlotta, who had just received the news, was already restless, and then ordered: "Quick! Let the cavalry enter the city, I will host a banquet for them! Also, hurry up and inform Kagan!"

Well, the duchess urgently changed into a leather coat, put on a leather cap, and put on wear-resistant leather boots on both feet.

The young son Carl is only three years old. He was born noble and eats meat every day after weaning. With pure Nordic blood, he doesn't look like he is only three years old.

Carlotta rode his mount, placed Carl in front, and then led his cavalry guards to meet his old friend, the current cavalry captain Fisk.

The two sides met in the open grassland adjacent to the lake.

Fisk slowly took off his velvet cap, squinting his eyes to clearly see Carlota's familiar face, as well as a timid little guy who couldn't hide from the horse's neck.

He is an old comrade-in-arms, so Fisk shouldn't have to salute Carlotta.

He tightened the reins and the warhorse walked slowly.

"Carlotta." He called him by his first name. "It seems that everything is fine with you."

"Brother, you came so suddenly that I was overwhelmed. You... did you bring news of Rurik?"

"Of course, wonderful news. What? Just let the old friend continue to blow the air outside? And that little guy, is that Carl?" ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ

Carlotta smiled, patted her son's head, and demanded, "Call that bald guy on horseback uncle!"

Carlotta's words were a bit rough, but little Carl was so milky and loud that he called Fisk "Uncle Bald".

This time, Fisk and the guys behind him were amused.

Fisk is from the old Ross clan, and is a distant relative to King Rurik, so he also has a certain blood relationship with little Carl. It is not wrong to become an uncle this time. It is precisely such a relationship that Fisk can call the Carlotta sisters, and vice versa, the brothers, and because of the past experience of fighting side by side, they have a very good relationship with each other.

Now, the city of New Ostara is a country of cavalry. The local cavalry escorted the gorgeous and brave standing cavalry from afar into the city, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

I saw Carlotta raised his right fist high, "We are victorious! The kingdom is victorious! The king is about to arrive!"

The people cheered.

However, Fisk's eyes are very keen. The inner city of New Ostara is not large. A small fortified city has some open-air wooden cages. There are actually a group of people sitting in the cages. There are men and women.

"Carlotta, there are prisoners there? Is there a crime in your place?"

"They?" Someone asked about this, and Carlotta immediately came to his senses. She held the reins and raised her chin with great pride: "Have you forgotten our mission last year? The people you see are our spoils."

Only then did Fisk suddenly realize, and smiled with his head turned sideways, "It seems that when we were domineering in the Frankish territory, you were also hunting wildly in Smolensk? Oh, the king is worried that the guy will be scored in Novgorod. Well. It seems that the king is overthinking it."

"The Pecheneg people and the people I sent did loot in the Smolensk villages. The local people generally took precautions, but our fast horses were strong, and we still caught a lot of slaves. You... Fisk, you went to fight in the legendary Frank, how was it?"

"How? That's a good question." Fisker smiled without saying a word, and patted a special pocket hanging on the horse's back, making the jingle tinkle curiously. "What do you think is in here?"

"A pile of metal? No! Shouldn't it be all money?"

"It's all silver. Our cavalry has made a fortune. Obviously the Franks are richer than the Smolensk."

"Oh! All right! You make me jealous."

"Don't worry. I saw that you have trained powerful cavalry. The king told me that the cavalry team will be expanded in the future, and you will be indispensable at that time."

Why do you contribute? New Ostara has the best horse farms here, and the locals are good at animal husbandry. Carlotta knew that as long as Rurik wanted to expand his cavalry, he would definitely take a lot of horses from himself. Although they are husband and wife, they are also the relationship between the two principalities. The Principality of Ostara is actually a vassal of the Rus Kingdom. The Principality guards the current southern gate for the Kingdom, and the two sides are basically independent from each other economically.

Rurik, as king, could not take Ostara's warhorse for nothing, he had to pay, or pay in some other way.

"Or if you can make me comfortable, I'll cut the price or give it away for free. My Carl still needs a brother..." She thought so full of expectations.

The horses of the standing cavalry were resting in the city. They rushed to the stables to feed hay and oats. All the soldiers rested in the city. Carlota rewarded cooked beef and mutton and a lot of dairy products, as well as some cooked salted oats. .

A variety of dairy products are local specialties that must be tasted, and Fisk is full of cravings for cheeses that are slightly stinky and have a long aftertaste.

He was sure that he would soon be able to feast on it, and then took advantage of the banquet opportunity to have a good chat with Carlotta and Kagan, who would arrive later. March, early spring.
