Chapter 276 Complex Church
That answer made Rostislav very satisfied, and old Ivan directly stated that no Finn tribe would be an enemy of the Winter Army.

There are even many tribes who will join the army, just like the scene when Akkad sent troops to Northeast Ross, they can directly have a bunch of free cannon fodder in their hands.

And the pontoon bridge on the Volga River has been built, allowing the army to pass at any time, and the follow-up route has also been planned.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Rostislav couldn't help but feel relieved.

Since these local snakes on the road are not a problem, he doesn't have to worry about safety on the road from Northeast Ross to Bulgar, and can just focus on the march and logistics of the army.

Rostislav, who was in a relaxed mood, also opened up his chatter box, and began to chat with the two Yaroslavl dignitaries.

The princes of Moscow asked many things, such as keeping the history of the city, the wars experienced, and local interests.

On the opposite side, the two dignitaries who are enough to be the grandfathers of Rostislav are also fluent in their answers, and they are very excited about this contact in their hearts. There are not many opportunities to communicate with the Prince of Moscow cordially like this.

However, when Rostislav asked about the church on the East Bank, the faces of the two old people showed embarrassment, which made Rostislav curious.

The so-called East Bank Church is a church mentioned in a series of documents passed by Rostislav from Yaroslavl, and it is the vanguard of Christianity's expansion to the lower reaches of the Volga River.

But Rostislav has always been unclear about the current situation of this church, so he asked this question.

In the end, it was old Ivan who informed Rostislav of the East Coast Church, and listening to old Ivan's story, Rostislav finally understood why old Ivan had that attitude.

The East Coast Church was established by a priest from Greece, and the construction of the East Coast Colony by the Sherikhov family was carried out at the same time.

This church with only a few dozen members has made great efforts in spreading the teachings in the local area. Without them, there would be no Christians on the east bank of the Volga River.

However, the denomination composition of these 20 people is too complicated, including the Orthodox Church, the Old Eastern Church, and the Eastern Church. It is too outrageous to directly gather the three Eastern Christian sects. How did you find so many sectarians?

This is why old Ivan is worried, because the church is too chaotic, and the number of "heresy" is too chaotic.

People like them don't care much about this, just spread Christianity, as long as it can be used, but they are not sure that Rostislav from Novgorod and Kyiv doesn't care about these things.

After listening to old Ivan's explanation, Rostislav opened his mouth in shock.

According to this composition, he can even open the Sanhedrin, which is simply an exposition of Eastern church denominations.

However, he quickly suppressed the surprise, and expressed comfort to old Ivan, saying that this was a trivial matter, and he would not shout and kill.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Isn’t it because the denominations are complicated?

After all, there are a bunch of pagans in Moscow city. If he speaks out about these things, how many people in Moscow city may die.

After getting the guarantee from Rostislav, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They had heard the head of the church on the east coast tell about the cruel sectarian struggles in the south, which could even subvert the entire country, especially for them. full of fear.

Old Ivan even had a son who had studied in the southern imperial capital, and he had a very strong understanding of that atmosphere.

And looking at the two people who breathed a sigh of relief, Rostislav's interest in old Ivan became more and more intense. This old man can actually attract so many people to build in this place in the north. It seems that his ability is indeed extraordinary. .

It's just a pity that he is old and doesn't have a few years to live. If he is younger, this person will definitely be able to get his reuse.

But doesn't he still have a son? Originally, if Boris was still alive, he would definitely be promoted. Boris' ability has been proved by years of pioneering achievements.

As for his sons now, Rostislav intends to take a good look at them. To be honest, Yegor is only qualified as an officer, and he doesn't know if he can be a good lord in the future.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Rostislav waved his hand to signal the two to retreat, and the nobles in Yaroslavl naturally obeyed their orders. After they left, Rostislav came to the ancient map.

The map comes from the era when Vladimir conquered Bulgar. Half a century has passed. Even with the eyes of this era, the map is very rough, and only a few cities of Bulgar are sketched on it. , and the great river that runs through the land, the Volga.

But that was enough, enough for Rostislav to think about the situation.

Looking at the map, Rostislav couldn't help thinking about what methods and means Akkad would use to deal with his offensive.

Although Rostislav has a lot of advantages now, and the prince is full of contempt for Bulgar on weekdays, Rostislav has never dared to relax in terms of specific thinking.

Rostislav has always made a clear distinction between the two, show pride when you need to show pride, and calm down when you need to be calm.

Akkad has never been an easy guy. Although he has suffered many failures, since his decisive rebellion, Rostislav swore in his heart that he must not underestimate this guy, otherwise he will definitely pay his blood the price.

It's just that he has too little information on Bulgar's side.

Although the current situation in Bulgar is chaotic, there have been businessmen sending information to Rostislav, but Akkad is still like a black hole of information, and Rostislav is completely unclear about the actions of this Bulgar Khan.

With Akkad's current ability, he is enough to pull out a large army, but this army must be extremely alienated from Germany.

After all, everyone can see the current situation of Bulgar. Those purges have greatly damaged his political reputation, and there are still many potential opponents. Moreover, Rostislav has the signature of the orthodox heir of the Dulu family.

But deep down in Rostislav's heart, a depth that has never been shown, is uneasy after all. He always feels that this fellow Akkad must have some backhand.
