Rise of Rurik Chapter 1095

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of The Rise of Rurik!

When they left, the camp was just picking up, and when they returned, a strong fortress was standing by the river.

The newly built wharf immediately showed its value. Although the only armed cargo ship could only be anchored on the river, the rest of the long ships were all attached to the trestle, and then they were tied to the trestle column by cables.

The black fox who came to Nassau Village for the first time felt very good about this place. After all, the sense of sight was too strong.

He saw many people approaching the pier. These people must be local residents, and the golden retrievers in traditional Nordic dress look extraordinarily chic.

He saw his second brother, Blue Fox, who was very ambitious. It has been a year and a half since King Ross launched an expedition last year and his second brother personally joined the war.

For such a long time, the red fox and black fox brothers only know that the second brother has made achievements in distant places, and how his personal life is, whether he is fat or thin, must be seen by himself.

Heihu jumped off the boat awkwardly, patted his belly, took a deep breath, and waved to his second brother Lanhu.

"The third one! It's you!"

Lanhu saw clearly that it was his third brother, even though he hadn't seen him for a year and a half.

"it's me!"

"Oh! My brother, you have grown up."

The blue fox came with a smile and opened his arms, as did the black fox. The two brothers with a big age gap hugged each other tightly, then separated and smashed their wrists fiercely.

Lanhu patted his brother on the back again: "Boy, you're still so fat. If someone says your fat seal, it's really telling the truth."

Heihu felt that this was a compliment, and instead said: "Brother, you have lost weight. Could it be that the food here is not good enough to sleep well?"

"On the contrary, everything is fine. It's just that I do too much and think a lot, and I can't be as comfortable as my hometown. Wouldn't that make me thin?"

Heihu had no intention of greeting this again, he asked bluntly: "I met Henry Nassau in Utrecht, and that man promised me his daughter. Sophia, is my fiancee here? I want to see her immediately."

"You kid..." Lanhu laughed for a while and was speechless, and after a while, he jokingly said: "You want a woman as soon as you get off the boat?!"

"No. I'm a man."

"Forget it, I'll arrange for you to meet later. I..." Lanhu looked at the brothers who were disembarking one after another, and saw that there were even some people dressed as civilians. "Looks like we need to talk about other things."

"Yes. There are indeed other things." The black fox also muttered loudly.

The hills on both sides of Nassau Village are like city walls, and living in the valley riverside area has a natural occlusion. If it is such an environment that the people who have lived here since birth lose their fighting spirit, as the fowls who have always lived in pens forget to fly, then such a key is an excellent fortress for the brave outsider.

It is a good logistics base. The closed environment is suitable for training the army. The existence of waterways can connect the outside world at a low cost, making military operations quite fast.

Black Fox has two important things that he wants to discuss with Blue Fox, and Blue Fox also has important things to discuss with his brother.

First of all, Black Fox urgently wants to meet his fiancée.

When how to meet? According to the old habit of the Gould family, it is natural to prepare delicious food and wine, discuss important matters through banquets, and even include blind dates.

The sturdy pine wood table also exudes the scent of turpentine, which can soothe the nerves, but cannot suppress the excitement of the black fox.

On the table are slices of toast, fried mushrooms in butter, chunks of bacon, stewed vegetable soup, honey yogurt, and freshly squeezed grape juice. These are all cooked with local ingredients, and the variety is more abundant than that in the north. Although the craftsmanship of the village girls is inferior, the quality of the ingredients is better.

The delicious food could not attract the attention of the black fox. He complained that the second brother deliberately hid and tucked his fiancée, must he have a mysterious ceremony?

Finally, the disappearing blue fox appeared.

The fat-faced but blue fox held a little girl by hand. She was quite young, and now she was specially dressed up, which made her have a little Nordic style.

The Norwegian world likes to decorate the girl to be married with silver jewelry, and the Swedish world likes to weave flower crowns with a lot of amber pendants. They all deliberately used noble accessories to dress up their new daughter-in-law. Although Nassau Village was poor, this little girl fell into the hands of the blue fox, so naturally it took some time to dress up.

There are flowers here, but the shelf life of flowers is very short, so the fine vines that have not yet picked the grapes are woven into a crown, and some perforated silver coins are hung to look jeweled. Sophia wore this gorgeous crown, put on the neatest clothes, and spent a lot of time dressing up.

The little girl looked very restrained, and when she saw the fat big brother in the banquet hall, she lowered her head subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, his small chin was lifted by a big hand. "Now, take a good look at your husband."

The blue fox's methods were rough, and Sophia was forced to look up and look at the surprised black fox.

"Ah?! Brother, could this girl be..."

"That's right. It's your fiancee." Lanhu said firmly.

"It's too...young."

"You don't like it? She's the only daughter of that Henry Nassau."

"I... how dare I not like it. It's just..."

"Just too young? In my opinion, you are just as young. It doesn't matter, you will all grow up in a few years, and then you can do whatever you want. Only now, some things don't work."

"Yes. I understand."

Sophia is indeed too young, but she didn't eat well in the past, and her low figure looked even younger.

Henry Nassau did hide this from the black fox who had just come to Europe. For Henry, he was also worried that the black fox would resist him because his daughter was too young. Henry finally got the facts straight, and now whether the black fox likes it or rejects it, this political marriage is a sure thing.

The black fox is very easy to work around. To be fair, this girl has slightly bulging cheeks and a pointed chin. In a few years, she will be very beautiful. She also looked shy, but such a daughter was an aristocrat.

The Barony of Nassau certainly cannot be run by this little girl, it needs a man of ability and ambition to run it.

The dialect of the Nassau people and the Norse Norse language have natural similarities, because in the final analysis they were family members about 800 years ago. Sophia has been in contact with Blue Fox's Ross army for a while, and Blue Fox can no longer make this girl seem illiterate, and deliberately teach her the Norse language. The little girl learns quickly, and is also good at association and comparison, and has learned a number of common terms in Norse.

She has a strong curiosity about outsiders, and now her vigilance is gone. Sitting next to her fiancé, the little girl suddenly turns on the 100,000 why mode, and the little trumpet keeps asking.

"This girl is so sloppy? Isn't she familiar with it?"

Heihu felt that her initial prediction was wrong, and she was not afraid to speak Norse with a strange accent.

And that's the weirdest!

The two brothers only met after a year and a half. Heihu admired his second brother very much. Since those unrealistic fantasies about his fiancée were disintegrating, his thoughts completely fell on how to build a career.

He is extremely young, although he is a businessman, the sharp heart of the youth has not been smoothed by the years.

After eating and drinking, the black fox said bluntly: "When I was in the Netherlands, that Henry Nassau urged me to get a stronghold named Koblenz. When I arrived here by boat, I passed the one on the other side of the river. The fortress, it is said to be Koblenz."

"How?" The old brother was halfway through. What he wanted to say was already guessed and excited by the blue fox, so he smiled excitedly: "You want to take it down? Do it now?!"

"Of course! When the king was resting on Tombstone Island, he specially gave me and the fourth child an order. Now the fourth child is chatting and laughing with Henry Nassau and Flemish nobles in Rotterstad, and he has to give priority to meritorious service. I have to quickly establish merits in the inland. I am ordered to hold the Ross store in Nassau Village, and I am ordered to loot the land in the south. I must make achievements immediately, so that I can send a messenger to announce the good news to the king!"

"Then let's do it!" The blue fox grabbed the meat-cutting dagger and stuck it on the pine table. The sound really startled Sophia, who was immersed in eating.

The two brothers have misjudged each other on this issue, and they both think that their brother will hesitate, but in fact they are two wolves with fangs, waiting for an opportunity to work together!

But the blue fox has never been a reckless generation. He practiced caution in the Hazelby period, and also completed the first kill in the local conflict. He has become mature, ruthless, and cunning, and he is more aware of the need to prepare well before the battle, and even consider how the battle will end after the end. If it's just a long boat rushing to the beach and the brothers looting, it's a typical act of piracy. What King Ross wants is efficient "causing trouble", and simply being a robber lacks systematic decision-making.

Aside from the war, Lanhu finally learned what kind of political marriage was waiting for his third brother.

Entry into a family is not a problem for boys who are not directly related to the family. In strict accordance with the Nordic tradition, the heirs other than the direct son have no right to inherit even a single copper coin after the death of the father. Such a tradition is really derived from the daily life of extremely expensive and scarce materials. The daughters marry early, and the concubines go to work early. This is a means to prevent a family from having too many children and impoverishing the family. Since it has become a custom, the Gould family, who started as second-order dealers, cannot be exempted from it.

It is precisely because of this that the concubines lack nostalgia for the family. What's more, the status of the family is weaker than that of the tribe. Each concubine does not care which family he is from, but he must emphasize which tribe he is from, or which tribe he is loyal to.

The internal marriage of a large clan is never a problem, and the alliance to the alliance clan is the clan of the other party. Since mutual intermarriage has always existed, these are not problems.

Young Gould didn't even have a surname. If he insisted, it would be the Ankras tribe in his ancestral home.

The Gould family started with this Gould who then made his fortune with the dividends of Ross's rise. Among the four brothers born to his wife, only the eldest white fox can inherit Gould's name naturally.

Today, Blue Fox can already call itself "Gothenburg" in a high profile. Through this political marriage, Black Fox can suddenly change his surname to "Nassau". And the fourth red fox, if there is no major change, he can call himself "Rotterstad" in the future.

The Nordic world can be very casual about this matter, but the Frankish world can't do it!

Since Charlemagne laid down a set of enfeoffment orders in Frank, "blood theory" has become a truth. The princes and generals really have a seed, just like the Nassau baron, the Nassau family must have the right to inherit it, unless the family is completely extinct, or the place is abandoned by its family.

The result of this political marriage was clearly beyond Rurik's original design. This Ross shop in the hinterland of Europe was not parasitized in the Nassau Baron, but the subordinates of the Ross King took this place directly.

Is it good or bad?

The blue fox asked his brother bluntly: "You will actually rule this place in the future, who will you pledge your allegiance to, and who will you arrange for your descendants to pledge allegiance?"

The black fox replied as straightforwardly: "Only Ross is worthy of allegiance. I learned that Henry Nassau is loyal to the Duchy of Saxony, and my descendants must be vassals of Ross."

Such an answer sounded very particular about Nordic loyalty. Blue Fox pondered carefully. In his perception, Ross is now a big player, and my brother will grow up in Nassau in the future. The Saxons and Thuringians fought. He is convinced that the brother who is eager to make meritorious deeds cannot compromise with the surrounding nobles. This kid must have "stubborn and arrogant" stuffed in his fat belly. If there is no military deterrence of the Rus Kingdom, the nearby nobles can unite even if they are surrounded by tactics. Sao Village was squeezed to death in a mountain col.

So in principle, the black fox is just the "housekeeper" hired by Henry Nassau. Legally, the little girl Sophia is a noble. When a boy is born, the boy will be the real Baron of Nassau.

It was because blood theory dominated the Frankish aristocracy, and the brothers had to spend some time discussing these things.

Even according to the rules of the Frankish world, Sophia is still many years away from the age of marriage. In this case, there is no age limit for engagement.

The engagement ceremony should be done according to the local rules. In fact, Father Conrad did it according to the rules prescribed by the scriptures. Hearing that he had to go out, Conrad, whose presence was already thin, suddenly became enthusiastic.

With only this number of people in Nassau Village, plus a group of foreign armed men, the population of this settlement is still less than 2,000 people at its peak.

Weddings are a rare opportunity for entertainment for villagers, and even funerals can be used as an opportunity to entertain and socialize.

The life of the villagers has always been too boring and boring, so the engagement of the little fat black fox and the Nassau family Sophia is an extremely rare event.

The black fox has converted, and so have the various Rus warriors gathered in Nassau Village.

Even to control this place, it must follow the local rules, and the black fox is very cooperative with Father Conrad's interpretation of the "rules".

The engagement ceremony was held in the village monastery. Black Fox and Sophia were both dressed in extremely plain clothes and barefooted, standing beside the blacked-out cross, taking various oaths according to Conrad's requirements.

For the bald Conrad, he was surprised and pleased that the new fat man was fluent in Latin. Out of obedience to his own series of demands, he felt that this little aristocrat of Ross must speak better than his brother. Conrad only wanted to serve the Lord with the rest of his life, he only prayed that the local lord would not shock the world, maybe this little fat man would not be very overbearing.

The plain sight only exists in the monastery.

Soon, the outdoors was hilarious, buzzing like a hundred thousand bees flying around.

People like to attend weddings or funerals the most, because the organizers will definitely provide some food and drinks. In the past, everyone who was poor must seize any opportunity to eat and drink for free, and this crowded into a lively scene, thus creating a warm atmosphere.

This kind of trick is not uncommon in the north. In the past two months, Lanhu has completed the vertical management of all the villagers' families, and then the opportunity of the third brother's engagement has to use means to win them over.

The blue fox invited the guests to a large banquet, and even the farmers and immigrants who had just arrived in Utrecht were also entitled to this free oatmeal and grape juice.

The premise that everyone can enjoy it is that the blue fox does have a batch of food stocks on hand, and of course he can't squander it for a long time.

Sophia is too young but not stupid. She knows that everyone she sees is cheering for this engagement ceremony, and she is a noble heroine. She also likes her fiancé Heihu very much. This eldest brother is fat and noble, and he is very particular about his life. Or speaking in holy Latin, he is truly nobler than those brutish little aristocrats.

There are people eating porridge everywhere, the air is filled with the strong smell of grapes and wheat, and there are hilarious crowds everywhere. Nassau Village has never been as noisy as it is today.

Sophia smiled, she knew that everyone was here to attend her engagement ceremony, and this girl who was so grand and satisfied yearned for glory.

At the beginning of July, it happened to be stuck at all the wonderful time points. The wheat harvest in the inland area will be in the beginning of August, and now it is at the last moment of the summer drought~www.mtlnovel.com~ But when the surplus grains in these various regions have bottomed out, the village of Nassau is large. Even if the ruler declared that the surplus food was sufficient, the villagers would still be able to get silver coins and food for the workers of the Rus. This was something Nassau villagers could not even imagine in the past few years. Everyone was feasting when they should have been starving, this time a gift from God? Do not! Even if everyone is calling Hallelujah in a high-profile way, they know that they can't eat wheat like this unless the Russ come over.

Ordinary villagers don't have the heart to worry about anything, they only know that they can eat and drink well when they do errands for the Rus people. The blue fox and the black fox let everyone do anything, including organizing militia to fight.

As a result, Father Conrad realized that he could only play a leading role in the engagement ceremony, and he was marginalized again when the banquet was held outdoors. He realized that he was unable to educate the local people at all, and the number of blond outsiders who came with weapons was really large! Looking at the formation, I am afraid that the next-door Earl of Layingo would not be able to summon so many troops at once, but the small Lanhe Valley has an army of nearly 600 people.

"Thank goodness, they have all converted to God, and they won't be bad for us." Conrad comforted himself, and silently recited the scriptures in the monastery without hearing anything outside the window.
