"The Rise of Rurik (!
When Rurik arrived at the river wharf, Arik had already taken the people off the boat.
The older female leader of Vips, Kartenekal, determined the size of the great lake for the first time. She was on the south bank of the lake and entered a big river with a boat. She saw the towering walls on the riverside and the endless water world in the west. She saw a walled city for the first time. If it weren't for the activities of a large number of people, it would be hard to believe that it was actually a human residence.
She got off the boat with anxiety and curiosity, stepping on the solid ground and panicking.
Many blonde women gathered around, there were many people wearing hijabs, and even many children running around laughing and joking to join in the fun.
This is the home of the Ross people? They are not all strong fighters, but they also have a large number of women and children.
Kartenaka had lived consciously for sixty years, and he didn't know that there were such powerful ethnic groups in the south of the Great Lakes. Look carefully, they are not so scary.
The female leader didn't know anything about the life of the Russ. She tried to hear some news from Telavis for the first time, and she clenched the boy's arm.
Telavis could feel the fear of the old lady: "I saw the Ross people for the first time...the city of the Ross people. It's normal for you to be afraid."
"I want to see your leader, and I want to have a good chat with him."
"Be careful, our young leader is here. Don't be afraid, the leader is a good young man."
Young leader? Maybe it is an outstanding young talent. If the leader of Rose is really good, and the Vips people will be at ease as servants in the future, life will be as stable as before. One of her main purposes was to ask the ruler of Rose how much peace is valued.
The group of them first waited near the shore, and more and more people came to watch. The Ross fighters who had returned early were already chatting and laughing with the garrisoned brothers.
The net bag hung by the manpowered crane at the pier has stretched out to the parked ship. Onlookers saw that a large amount of bundled leather was removed from the cabin, thrown into the net bag and quickly landed ashore.
It was all high-quality leather, and the long and plush tail proved that it was a bundle of fox fur.
The onlookers looked straight and rationally controlled their minds. Everyone simply envied Arik’s successful armed investigation. No one dared to rush forward. There was a buzzing at the dock. Onlookers whispered. Some people claimed that Arik had brought his brothers. A huge victory has been achieved, and even more exaggerated claims are circulating, that the Karelians have been directly defeated by the brave Arik.
Karelia was defeated, only partly.
Arik and Evlo met, and the two met each other shoulder-to-shoulder.
Yevlo still tied his forehead with a cloth strip. He flicked his black hair and said excitedly: "Haha, some brothers speculate that you have won. I see your massive seizures, and the Karelians have already failed. ."
"They failed. I destroyed their sacrifice center."
"Oh? Is there such a feat?" Yevlo was taken aback. To be honest, he was envious of such a result, and wished he could accomplish this feat by himself.
"So. We still have major seizures and found new servants." Arik twisted his neck and motioned to his men to push the female leader of the Vips over.
The old lady leaned on a cane, and she glanced cautiously at a black-haired samurai, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously.
"That's her?" Jeflo asked.
"It's her, the leader of the Vips. My friend, I remember you are from Suomi, maybe you know."
Jeflo shrugged: "As you know, I was kidnapped by the Danes as a child. I'm from Suomi, but...not to mention..."
Although Jeflo did not know the Vips, the latter knew the name of the Suomi.
The Suomi people refused to accept Karelia, and the two sides had always been fighting. Karteneka asked about it on his own initiative, and Jeflo immediately responded in Old Finnish. The Vips and Suomi did not communicate. Since the Karelians are the enemies of both sides, both parties have the prerequisites for cooperation.
Evlo didn't hesitate to clarify his position among the Suomi people. He was the top Suomi aristocrat and a subordinate and close comrade-in-arms of the Duke of Ross.
This explanation immediately reassures the female leader's anxiety.
But things really make Jeflo feel strange. This is not the discovery of the Vips. He approached Arik and asked with a smile: "People say that you are a decisive person. You didn't even smooth the entire Vip. Sri tribe. You obviously can!"
"Yes. But, their women are too enthusiastic, and their men are loyal dogs. I'm not stupid enough to attack the servants." Arik said with an awkward smile, and Jeflo guessed it was not that simple.
Knowing the whole story well, Telavis simply didn't participate in the small talk between the two. He raised his head and looked down the sudden commotion of the crowd, and saw Rurik himself coming.
"It's the Duke, here he is!"
Rurik came, and the young Duke's hands with his sleeves rolled up were dusty, his forehead was full of sweat, and his clothes were mixed with a lot of wheat and bran.
The noble duke personally participated in the autumn harvest. The conquered Slavs who settled in Shilla Fort naturally felt that this was close to the people. Many people at the bottom of the Rus tribe also felt that Rurik cared about everyone most, but many people still thought that this was close to the people. The noble duke should not engage in these lowly jobs, the noble must be respected.
Indeed, Zhou Tianzi must also act in accordance with the ritual and music system. Even though some actions can be described as being close to the people and compassionate to the lower-level nobles, the Tianzi has an inviolable glory, and doing these things is a self-denial of glory.
Rurik didn't want to be ostracized by the people. When the Principality was founded, it was a waste of water. Even if it was a show, he had to show off in front of the people.
Rurik is indeed making a show, but in fact there are reasons to be bored.
He held up the oats stalks piled up with a wooden yoke, and only by constantly tamping, could he beat out the oat grains wrapped in pale bark in the bent wheat ears, which is the characteristic of European bark oats. If you want to eat new wheat, you have to thresh it.
When meeting the highest leader of the Rus for the first time, Kartenaka couldn't believe that the leader was the boy in front of him.
Arik and his brother had a very happy conversation. First, he briefly described how he conquered the Vips and attacked the Karelian bear altar. All these things were said in a big way, and the old lady with gray hair in front of her immediately attracted Rurik's attention.
The pier is indeed not a place for discussion.
Rurik was surprised, my brother would actually feel softened, or softened, so that Rose would have an additional tribe of servants, which would not help the beauty of the principality.
Karteneka was allowed to enter the walls of Shilla Fort. She looked around and saw a large number of wooden houses, this smooth road, and a particularly spacious land for certificates!
Harvest Plaza is not big, in fact it is not small.
Rurik delineated an area close to the size of a standard football field. It should be laid with a stone floor or even a layer of cement to make it extremely flat.
The reality is that he cannot complete this feat in a few years, but the entire field has been rammed, and the soft ground has been rammed hard, making it an excellent threshing ground like no other.
This is Harvest Plaza, where thousands of people thresh the grain, and the oats in Shilla Fort will be threshed and even dried here in the future.
Kartenaka knew about wheat, and when she was on the boat, she saw tracts of farmland near the river. It is a pity that the Vips people do not have the ability to farm and can only live by raising deer, hunting, and fishing.
She is the literal grandmother Liu who entered the Grand View Garden. A Nordic city continues to rise, and the existing scale of the city deeply shocked a female chief of a forest tribe.
She has already made her own judgment: the Rus are far better than the Karelians.
A huge wooden house lay in front of you. It is said that this is the place where the Ross people discuss major events?
The Karelians also have similar buildings. Obviously, the Rus are better in terms of scale and structure.
The Ducal Palace and Ross Dumas in Fort Shilla have been built too generously, but this is good, standing under a large and generous building, individuals will feel their own insignificance and naturally have a sense of awe.
Rurik really wanted to build a taller building, not only his palace and the Roseduma, which served as the parliamentary court. With the continuous development of Shilla Fort, the shipping business here will become more and more developed, so a particularly tall tower is needed, not only to be an observatory, but also to set up a frying pan to be lit at night to act as a lighthouse.
Urban construction is still to be done, and the concrete floor of Fengshou Square must be laid, and the wooden city walls will give way to solid stones. This is still the work of the future.
Who are the VIPs?
Rurik cleaned his face and washed his head, changed his clothes, and met the returning cousin and the headwoman of Vips with jewels, gold ornaments, and noble fur.
Ross Dumane, the generals of the Ross army are here.
Many sturdy people were present, and Kartenekal trembled with anxiety.
Rurik didn't rush to talk to this old woman, because everyone urgently needed to hear the report on the results of Arik's armed investigation.
This was a brilliant report, and Arik’s words directly explained why there were so few people and ships returning. He really implemented the consistent style of the Principality of Ross, and the new territories he smashed were controlled and developed into new territories.
The name Bear Altar no longer exists. Her Gnostic name is Bjorn Vestad, which is Bear Sacrifice Town. According to the Slavs, it was Medvetramskoye.
The meaning of the settlement has not changed. Since it is a place where bear sacrifices are made, the Rus can follow suit.
It's just that the Ross people will sacrifice to Odin with a bear as a sacrifice there.
Everyone reached a consensus in an instant, and Rurik couldn't contain the joy in his heart, and praised: "Brother. Your victory is too insulting to them, so they will surely attack them in groups."
Arik smiled, smiling very proudly: "Isn't this what we all hope? Fight a decisive battle with the Karelians, so that your heavy weapons can be useful."
The generals are gearing up, and the big decisive battle everyone has dreamed of seems to be imminent.
Three hundred brothers were stranded at the bear altar to build a bear festival town, by the way, to explore the surrounding environment. No one thinks that they will be in danger. If the enemy can't stand the humiliation and suddenly the army is under pressure, the left-behind troops can only take a boat and avoid them.
Arik reported a very interesting information, that is, the water power of the Karelians is indeed sparse, but it is just a few canoes, and they are not qualified as fishing boats. How can we talk about water warfare? The Rus have the advantage of ships, so it can be said that they can advance and retreat.
However, the actual situation is more favorable to the Russian army. Regarding a waterway leading to an inland lake, the left-behind troops only realized after being attacked by the Karelian scouts, and Arik did not know about it.
The biggest result of the assault on the bear altar was the capture of an astonishing number of deer, and a group of deer was given to the Vips who led the way and participated in the battle. In this matter, Rurik was very satisfied with his cousin's approach.
How many deer are there? Three thousand? !
There are still three thousand deer in the hands of the army stationed at the bear altar? !
When this number was taken out, Rurik and others were taken aback, and then fell into ecstasy.
"Brother, I am not greedy. High-quality leather, most of the deer, these are yours." Arik said in public.
Arik himself didn't care, but his words really embarrassed Rurik. Although the monarch has the right to get the most spoils, but...
My cousin was also kind, and Rurik raised his head and pointed out loudly: "This is not just mine, it belongs to the Duchy of Ross. It's like the central granary in the city, that is the food for all of us! Odin gave me the qualifications, come Manage our wealth."
Arik shrugged: "As you wish. Brother, this is my experience. The brothers who stay behind are still waiting for the army to arrive. Now, about this female leader of Vips."
The topic has changed, and Rurik no longer struggles.
Although this is an old lady, since it is the female leader of Vips, she has obtained a formal surrender relationship. As a monarch, Rylik should maintain an inviolable dignity.
"Someone told her to kneel in front of me!" Rurik ordered.
After a while, Kartenai Kazhen, who put down his crutches, lay down on his knees and stated in her words the intentions of his servant.
So far, everything is just a cutscene, and Rurik's heart already regards the Vips as his new servant force. But when he asked about the other party's population, he was also taken aback.
Only six or seven hundred people? Just so few people? !
Sure enough, this kind of micro-tribe can only develop steadily by relying on the strong, but this kind of surrender will not be very loyal. They are clearly who is following who is strong, and it is the wisdom of a small tribe to survive.
But they are really smart, knowing that they will surrender instantly if they can't beat the Ross army, and serve the new conquerors by various means.
Are they just born slaves?
Not really. Good use is an excellent servant army, an excellent labor force. Since they have seen the mighty martial arts of the Rus army, the "big stick" is not necessary, and they will be rewarded with some "carrots" to use them.
Kartenaka was gifted by Rülik to sit down, and the old lady sat down on a buckskin cushion.
After all, she is an old lady who doesn't have much time, even if she is tenacious, there is little chance that her life will last for another ten years. The Vips should have a new leader, or a lord.
Who is suitable to be the lord of the Vips? The answer is already here.
Rurik motioned to Telavis to step up to the stage and make him sit down.
"Taravis, your destiny is that you cannot inherit the leader of the gray squirrel tribe, let alone be the governor of Elronburg. Sepolawa's son will inherit these titles." Rurik explained these things on purpose. Lavis knew it well.
Rurik changed his words: "I just heard that the granddaughter of the Vips chief is already your woman. Isn't that a good woman? Very good! You come to be the chief of the Vips, your heirs are hereditary. You , Are there any requirements? If so, I will try my best to meet them."
Things were a bit sudden, and Telavis changed his mind. This is probably the best destination for him.
He is not stupid, knowing that he can't make some unreasonable requests, but it is really uncomfortable not to say some things.
Ask yourself, it was he who persuaded Arik not to behave first, and it was he who persuaded the Vips to surrender with a single mouth, and now it is a good thing that he himself becomes the hereditary leader of Vips. There are some things that Telavis would never tell Rurik hidden in his heart, he was ecstatic about this arrangement.
There was only one request, he hesitated and said: "The suffix of Orava should be added. Vips should be added to the suffix of Orava."
Rurik felt funny when he heard it, and smiled: "You still can't forget the squirrel. Vepsarava. It's okay, whatever you want."
"The Duke is wise!"
"Very good! Then when we flatten Karelia, we will have to ask Vips to live." Rurik turned his head and asked the female leader: "You basically understand the language I speak, and I can guess it. Many of your customs. He is your new leader, do you have any comments?"
Kartenaka was extremely excited: "I do! Terravis is the best boy."
"Very good. From now on, Telavis will be the hereditary leader, the Earl of Vips, his heirs are hereditary."
It would be great to arrange Terravis in this way and everyone had no objections. Rurik was delighted that he had solved a potential trouble, and Telavis the Corvin was still the noble leader of another tribe, and he would not covet the status of his sister's heir in the future. Telavis will make a cut with the Corvin, and will also lead the Vips to develop quietly on the west bank of the Great Lake.
The Vips have surrendered, and the upstarts have also completed the canonization. The Ros Duchy is obliged to protect the safety of the Vips. Rülik vowed not to oppress all the Vips, and the other party has the right to come to Fort Shilla in accordance with the rules of the Duchy of Ros. Ayutthaya trade is like the rights enjoyed by other survivors.
So, what is the price?
The price is that when the Duke summons an army to fight the war, the Vips should send troops to fight. The Vips should also pay tribute every year, depending on the size of their population, Lurik decided to ask for tribute based on the previous rules set for the Corvins. That is, every year 20 fawns and 1,000 squirrel skins are gone.
Regarding the current production efficiency of the Vips people, Rurik couldn't think of what more wealth they could provide. This kind of tribute will last for many years, and taxes will be raised when the population size has expanded.
Is it just that? Kartenaka was quite surprised, don't the Ross people actually ask for slaves?
Since the young leader of the Ross people only had this requirement, she was afraid that her stupid question would arouse the greed of the other party, and she simply agreed not to ask anything else.
It was true that Rurik had no intention of asking for slaves from the Vips, and even that kind of "talking beast" was almost non-existent in the Ross Principality in the current era. Rurik tried his best to rule all conquered tribes in a harmonious way, benefit from regular taxation and tribute, and obtain more tax revenue in the future by donating and selling advanced production and living tools. The so-called problem of development should be solved by development, forcing the surrender into slavery, generally rationally speaking, this is a fisherman. Rurik didn't want to force a Khmelnitsky out.
The appearance of the Vips was purely an accident They led the way and rewarded them.
The old lady Kartenecka was dressed in tattered clothes. She was also a female leader anyway. Rurik rewarded her with a beautiful Slavic patterned gown and gave her a well-stitched white fox fur hat.
With these rewards and "very few" tribute shares, the Karelia chiefs in the past were insatiable, and the young Duke of Ross was a good man.
In the court hall of Ross Dumas, the old lady was so touched that she saw the city, a large number of big ships, and a staggering number of brave fighters, as well as the declaration of the Duke of Ross. She was convinced that she was about to witness Karelia. Ah's fall, the days of stability for the Vips people will also come. As for those tributes, they are nothing compared to what the Vips can get.
