Rise of Rurik Chapter 678

"The Rise of Rurik (!

The army was assembled in Fengshou Square, and the flag teams were arranged in a neat line according to their own organization. Each soldier put on his own washed clothes and displayed the heroic posture of the soldier in the most gorgeous and mighty posture.

Fengshou Square is a large rammed earth flat area. When the army is gathering, the square is crowded with people, making the square very small.

Although they were lined up, the soldiers were talking and laughing. Many people speculated that this year's conquest of Karelia was not over, and the army gathered again and headed north.

Some people are eager for a new expedition, hoping that they can really get a lot of treasure.

Some people think that this year will end this year and continue the expedition to advance in the ice and snow. Although it is not impossible, everyone still likes to take action in the warm summer.

The warm autumn sun brought a touch of warmth to all the soldiers, and the body, which was gradually resembling rotten wood in the continuous rain, was now dry and rejuvenated.

The masses of people were puzzled by the Duke's true intentions of gathering the army. They did not dare to enter the Harvest Square to find out, so they stopped outside and watched. They even climbed up the city walls, the roofs of their houses, or climbed to the trees planted in front of the courtyard. Check it out on the branch.

The outdoor rumbling sound penetrated all the buildings, and Rurik put on his gorgeous clothes and walked out of his palace in a white furry posture.

A banner was fluttering in the violent wind, and people who watched it whispering to each other held their breaths.

Duke Rurik appeared!

He wears a polar bear fur, a white fox fur hat, and gold ornaments and glass beads on his clothes. The leather boots are black and are made of a mixture of deerskin and felt. A gilt belt was tied around his waist, and a dagger was hung on him.

His golden ponytail hairstyle is quite obvious, and his white face is also covered with golden fluff, especially on the chin. People with a discerning eye can see that the young duke's beard is already quite vigorous, just like his old father Otto.

The old guys of the second flag team in the team, when they see Rurik today, they think of Otto. Otto is an old man, he was also a handsome man when he was young, and a fierce man in fights. In this way, he married the beautiful Niya, and his friends did not dare to question him.

Inheriting the handsomeness of his father and the beauty of his mother, Rurik's heroic posture made everyone acclaim.

The Duke is like this, the soldiers of the army self-examined, Lord Rurik is naturally indescribable, and he is equally noble.

Next to Rurik stood a group of women dressed in plain clothes. The hooded linen gowns concealed women's posture. This minimalist dress was another kind of nobleness, because these were the dresses usually worn by the priestess of Rose. Everyone knows that since the reform of the sacrificial system in the duchy, the family members of the duke have also been part-time priests. On the surface, the most noble high priest is Lumia. Actually, the people in the Ros headquarters believe that Lord Rurik is indeed a god-conscious person. The son of God can freely communicate with Odin, so that all priests are just a supporting role.

The female family members are all plain clothes, and the white fox hats on their heads are like Rurik himself. They are all highlighting their necklaces on their chests.

The horn sounded, the drum beat, and everyone raised their heads to pay attention to Duke Rurik in a solemn atmosphere.

Rurik stood on the rammed-earth abutment in the square and became the center of attention.

What he saw was a plain white army, with people wearing white robes everywhere, and the front of the robes were all crossed with blue stripes. Their spearheads and helmets shone cold in the sun, and the steel arms of the crossbows on their shoulders shone.

Most of the bucklers painted white with chalk were tied to the left arm, and such fighters could clearly fight against each other.

Seeing his own army, Rülik felt very emotional. If there were loudspeakers at this time, Rülik could only use his own voice to preach to the army.

The army is solemn, and people are expecting the Duke to announce some major events. They held their breath and whispered in the sense of the onlookers under the scene of silence.

Rurik held the hilt of the sword with his chin high, and he deliberately left the army for a while to let them guess, which drew everyone's interest.

Finally, he spoke.

"Brothers, this is our first military parade in Shilla Fort! This year, we put down the Novgorod rebellion and severely damaged the Karelian forces! This year, our army killed as many as 10,000 enemies. You have proved to Odin that you are true fighters! The once proud Danes are no longer as dignified as yours, and our allies in our hometown are not your dignity. The Principality of Ross is the strongest. Now, I will take you to make The people of Shilla Fort take a good look and let everyone see the real warriors..."

Rurik was emotional, and he talked loudly for a while.

He is boasting of the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers of the Roths army, and also boasting that the other Viking tribes in the duchy are as strong as the Balmerks and Mellaren.

He also boasted of the loyal servants of Suomi's servant army, and in Old Finnish, once again vowed in Old Finnish to the group of Suomi fighters who had seen a large area of ​​flat ground for the first time in their lives, that the so-called Rus Principality would abide by the duty of the suzerain's asylum, and announced one Significant resolution.

"The Suomi people have the right to spontaneously immigrate to Shilla Fort, reclaim wasteland here to grow wheat, accept the management of the Governor of Shilla Fort, and pay taxes every year to live their lives."

This is an invitation to invite the Finnish people to come to the Neva River to open up wasteland. It is not for the welfare of the Suomi people or all the Finnish ethnic groups, but only opens up the qualifications for land reclamation to them. All subjects under the Principality of Ross have the right to open up wasteland for the Principality. The Principality will protect the achievements of farmers and record the land area as a tax base.

Most of the most elite labor force of Suomi people are here. Rülik took advantage of this gathering opportunity to invite them. As for whether they are really willing to leave the Suomi traditional community and move their household registration to Shilla Fort, this is They are voluntary.

In other words, the migration of Suomi people is the more the better. The value of Shilla Fort is the geographic node of the eastern inland waterway into the Baltic Sea. She is a very good port but not a large amount of land for farming. The lake area around Novgorod It is the big granary of the Principality.

Of course, the more food, the better, the opportunity to open up wasteland and cultivate land should not be wasted.

Rurik paid attention to the faces of the Suomi people. They seemed to have heard and understood their declaration. Many people were shaking involuntarily and seemed to be eager to try.

The preaching is over, the soldiers who are looking forward to the war have not ushered in the declaration of continuing the war in winter.

The soldiers saw Rurik jump off the abutment and walked straight to the First Banner Team with the female family members and a group of capable guards.

Arik smiled maliciously and said, "I thought you were going to announce that the fleet would set off again to Bear Sacrifice Town. You declared that no matter who it is, you can open up wasteland and cultivate land? Is this a major event?"

Rurik shrugged: "Brother, we fought for looting. Only God knows how many materials we can rob. But the wheat and flax stalks harvested from wasteland and farming are predictable."

"I'm still looking forward to a war. Listen, brother, the war is still going on, I don't believe those Karelians will give up."

"I don't believe it either. The war is in the future, and now we should develop our own strength immediately, and then we must make people full of arrogance. Come with me! Let the people see how mighty the army guarding them is."

The Romans invented the triumphal parade, which was a parade in a costume parade. Caesar made it to the extreme. The army went around in Rome to let everyone see the heroic appearance of the Caesar legion. After that, Caesar invited everyone to eat for a month. .

It is very unlikely to ask the residents of Shilla Fort to eat for free for a month. Rülik urgently needs the army to walk around the city two or three times around the road under the city wall.

As the greatest leader, Rurik was at the forefront. The female guardians dressed as traditional priests took off their white fox hats and put the hoods on their heads, just to highlight a pure divinity.

The guards carried the Duke's flag, and the drummer's horns walked while playing music.

The flag teams marched vigorously with their weapons, and their steps were not completely consistent, but murderous.

The city of Shilla Fort itself is not big, but it is not far to walk around the city.

In the beginning, the people who migrated to the cities were ordinary families of the Ross tribe, not to mention the small number, and the older and younger ones were more composed. When the settlements were established, Slavic immigrants from Novgorod left their homes, and Shilla Fort was no longer a purely Rus city in the early days of its establishment. She is a melting pot. There are Russ, immigrants from various Swedish tribes, and Slavic immigrants. The permanent population of the city has exceeded 3,500 (because there are too many young babies and children, it seems that the population is not very large). She is still fast During the expansion, a batch of new wooden houses that began to appear outside the city wall can show this. It is time for Shilla Fort to consider building another layer of Outer Guocheng.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rurik looked at the city with his feet without dead ends.

Some people onlookers cheered, some quietly opened their jaws.

This is the army of the Principality, powerful and powerful, and the invincible Pine Needle Manor was flattened by them! The Slavs who moved here were the most excited, and the men and women were very happy that they had made the right choice.

People were cheering, and a group of naughty children jogging around in front of Rurik. There were also boys carrying wooden sticks pretending to be holding a short sword, and a wooden board as a shield, mimicking the posture of the young soldiers of the First Banner. Now, what a real man is in the mind of such a Slav boy is very clear, and the child has established his own goal.

And this armed parade, isn't it also a shock to the souls of the men of Suomi's servant army?

Compared with the wooden sheds hidden in the forests of hills and lakes in the hometown, the city of the Ross people is really magnificent!

Harvest Square is very flat, which is unimaginable in the Finnish Lake District. It was the first time they saw a large area of ​​flat land. After the armed parade around the city, they also stepped on the flat sand. Obviously, it has rained continuously for more than half a month, and these roads are not muddy.

Of course, the roads here are not smooth in Rurik, and many places are bumpy.

The two sides have different expectations for the concept of "leveling". It seems that the Suomi servants have not only given him great face, but this is clearly a kind of speechless suggestion. The so-called Suomi people return to their hometowns. , When imitating Shilla Fort to renovate their own settlements.

Is Shilla Fort so grand?

The road around the city is paved with sand and gravel, and there are shallow gullies on both sides of the road. The city has a basic drainage system and plays its own role in continuous rainfall. This is far from enough. The roads inside the city must be laid with slabs at least, and finally a large amount of cement will be made to pave all the road systems inside the walls.

Let's talk about the buildings in the city. There are small courtyards with exclusive detached houses everywhere. The economy of courtyard farming is already in operation. The most obvious thing is the poultry running around the city and a group of rabbits in captivity. The dwellings are all Slavic woodcuts. The single-story structure restricts the use of space. At first glance, Fort Shilla is like a large rural village surrounded by city walls. It is obvious that double- or even three-story wooden buildings can be built. The city has what it should be.

Especially the so-called palaces and the Roseduma Parliament. This kind of public affairs-related buildings should not be long houses that mix Viking traditions and Slavic styles. They need to be magnificent and magnificent, and they need to give people a sense of oppression to highlight its sacredness. After all, they are buildings built on the other side of Rabbit Island, and it is the Winter Palace.

Is it appropriate for a long house to be named the Winter Palace?

Rurik felt inappropriate.

Shilla Fort must be expanded, and must become magnificent before it can properly serve as the capital of the Duchy of Ross.

The parade seemed to have come to a victorious end. The people cheered, and the army that had walked around the city twice returned to their respective residences to rest.

Rurik's face was not happy. He had declared a truce in the winter, and the assembled army would be disbanded, and the flag teams would return to their homes. We will notify you when they will fight again. This is seemingly a risky decision, and it does not mean that Ross has no soldiers to send in an emergency.

The woodland in the geographic north of Shilla Fort is currently a huge uninhabited land. It seems that only a small group of Vips people have limited exploration, and the rest of the vast forest is still home to wild animals. Many people in the First Banner team didn't go far. After all, if there were no wars in winter, everyone would go to the north of Elronburg with weapons and hunting when they returned to their hometown in Roseburg. Since it's all hunting and exploring an undeveloped forest, wouldn't it be possible to catch an astonishing number of small animals?

During the armed reconnaissance, the First Banner Team had already tasted the sweetness, and they volunteered to stay and do it again. Everyone's decision was put together and handed over to Captain Arik, but he said that Arik had already happily ran to the second wife's mill. Here, his wife Aslaqi, his father-in-law Harald, and his son-in-law Gustav, he can enjoy the joy of life, and even for a while, he has forgotten the old wife Peravina from the hometown of Roseburg.

He got tired from walking, soaked in a wooden bucket of hot water to soothe and cleanses his body, and when he went out of the bath, he held a large loaf of bread, biting hard, and eating a stomach bulge.

At night, lying on the soft bed, he patted his bulging belly, making fun with his beloved wife.

"I have decided to spend the winter here this year."

"Really?" Aslaqi was surprised and wary.

"Of course it is true. I think it's good. My first banner team will stay here. The brothers are going to the north to hunt. There are too many squirrels there. Each squirrel skin is a silver coin. Brothers can make a fortune. Besides, if there is a crisis in the north of Hubei, I will take my brothers to kill and wipe out the Karelians who have committed the crime."

"Um... I thought you decided to stay with me."

"Be with you! Of course I want to be with you. And you have to bring your sister (referring to the eldest wife) here."

"She?" Aslaqi couldn't hide the embarrassment in her heart, but she hid it deep enough on the bright side. "It's up to you."

"Are you not happy?"

"How dare I, she helped me when I gave birth."

"Alright." Arik nodded. "The fleet will return to Fort Rose in October. As long as it moves fast enough, Peravina can take a boat from there again before the bay freezes. Then your sisters will wait for me. One, that's great."

Arik thought so beautifully, he really didn't have time to take into account the jealous emotions of Asraki, and didn't even care about her pouted mouth, so he relaxed and fell asleep for a while...

When it comes to enjoyment, Rurik is indeed surrounded by a group of female families. He walked around the city twice, his ankle soreness made him uncomfortable. When he had a request, ten maids happily rushed up to serve his master.

Rurik's head was kneaded, his shoulders and wrists were kneaded. Especially for a pair of feet, one person is really responsible for one.

From Anna to Yulia, ten maids rarely have the opportunity to touch the body of the master. They all know their fate, and one day they will be broken by this heroic man and become a mother, thus becoming a nobleman under entrustment.

Looking at this intimate situation, Ella and Svetlana, who couldn't stand it, also walked over to join them.

Only Carlotta was watching, and she couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you girls walking the same way? You rubbed his feet despite the sorrow of your feet."

Carlota really didn't have a backache while standing and talking, but seeing that the sisters were already arranging their hands, they simply joined them in a cruel manner.

Rurik became a kind of toy, but fortunately he ordered all the chirping women to settle down before things got even more outrageous.

Under the oil lamp, Rurik put on clothes to make the group of them obediently do well, pouting, "Is there enough trouble? Are they all satisfied?"

"Not satisfied." Svetlana raised her delicate chin mischievously.

"I can't take it anymore. Listen, we are going to Novgorod soon and we will leave in a few days. I am very happy that your sisters have a close relationship. I hope you will be like this for your whole life. Soon I will make promises. Len and Mary will take over and spend the winter in Novgorod this year!"

Rurik's determination was sudden, and his tone was quite firm. He has eleven female families from Novgorod, and they are very happy out of reason.

What is the whim of the matter? It's no joke that Dad Otto wants to take care of the elderly in Novgorod, so his mother must also move over, and a group of servants must also move.

This was actually a big political change in the Duchy of Ross, which meant that the political center of the Duchy moved eastward in a low-key manner.

The move to the east was originally planned ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The biggest reason for Ranlulik's determination to stay is still the follow-up calculation of the statistical work on the farmland. This is a huge calculation work, and it is a major event that did not occur in the era of the Rus tribe. , Is a major event to create history. Rurik is really relieved about Ella's work? How can it be!

Except for Lumia and Xiao Lumi, who are in charge of the sacrificial work, stay in their hometown in Roseburg, the other female families have good knowledge of mathematics and must all be added to the calculation work. Rürik himself plays the role of supervision and verification. Work with the final check. After all, this matter is related to the most important agricultural tax in the Principality, and Rurik feels that it is most appropriate to get started.

Just poor Lumia...

The high priest of the Rus Principality, clearly lived as a fateful posture of the old priest Veria. She has indeed inherited Vilia's mantle, but Rose guarded by Vilia has changed.
