king of ros

Minsk is now under the control of coalition soldiers, and the gorgeous halls of Minsk are naturally also occupied.

The citizens of Minsk are very unhappy with these foreign occupiers, but they can't do anything, because they are losers, and many of them will be driven out in the future.

Now the four princes who rule the land of Rus gathered together to discuss the handling of the Principality of Polotsk.

Their faces were full of the surplus of victors, and from time to time they commented on the hall where the Principality of Polotsk had invested a lot of money.

And the most lamented was the resources that Vseslav poured into the hall. They could all see that the hall was not cheap at all.

In fact, it can also be seen from this that Vseslav can mobilize abundant resources, and the results of the three generations of their family's management of this place are reflected here.

But it's all theirs now.

"Then, we will divide the spoils according to the established plan. First of all, this principality will belong to my son Svyatopolk. Everyone has no objections."

Injaslav sat on the ancient oak bench that originally belonged to the prince of witchcraft, and first told the most important spoils, which belonged to the Principality of Polotsk.

"Everyone has no opinion."

The other three Rus princes exchanged glances with each other, and then Sviatoslav said this sentence. Polotsk belonged to Injaslavich, which was the unspoken rule that everyone tacitly agreed to at the beginning of the war.

If Polotsk is not allowed to belong to the descendants of the Grand Duke of Kyiv, then how to reflect the majesty of the Yaroslavitches and the majesty of the Grand Duke of Kyiv.

Everyone believed that it was necessary to replace the Prince of Polotsk, because since only the descendants of Yaroslav ruled Rus, the unsightly guy was finally excluded.

If Yaroslav is still alive, then he must be sad because of this, his descendants do not see Vseslav as a family, and he is not, but he has long known that there is nothing he can do about it, and he died early so that he would not have to see this One scene and happy.

"In this way, we Yaroslavitch will become the ruler of the entire Ross, which is really a good thing."

Svyatoslav sighed, his emotions were visibly uplifted, which is a relatively rare emotion on his face, and then he mentioned that incident again.

"But I think it's better for us to get rid of Vseslav and his descendants. Cut the weeds and root them out, my brother."

"No, we're not there yet."

Injaslav firmly rejected his brother again, and Sviatoslav, who was rejected again, could only shrug his shoulders. Anyway, it was not him who had the greatest impact. It was his business whether Yinjaslav would listen or not.

As for Vsevolod, he remained silent as always, unwilling to comment on these matters. This is the characteristic of Prince Pereyaslav, who rarely has his own opinions.

Rostislav remembered his second uncle, his second uncle was really ruthless, he should pay attention in the future.

For Vseslav and his descendants, the Grand Duke planned to take him to Kyiv and imprison him, just as Yaroslav had treated his brother.

...

No matter what, Vsheslav is still a Rurik. Ross’s political struggle has not yet developed to that level, and he can just be locked up for a lifetime. Yaroslav was the same back then. He was not released until after his death. How long to die.

His son and several important nobles also went with the prince of witchcraft, so that the top dignitaries of Polotsk were wiped out at once, and no one had the ability to affect Kyiv's control of Polotsk.

And the next step is the distribution of benefits. Although the Principality of Polotsk belongs to Injaslavich, the wealth and population of this land have not yet been divided.

This is also the moment that others are most looking forward to. The territory can belong to Injaslavitch, but the wealth and population must be shared with other princes.

Then the atmosphere is lighter, because now is the time to divide the cake and everyone will get what they want.

"Svyatoslav will receive fifteen Polotsk men and women, Vsevolod three thousand, and Rostislav fifteen thousand. As for the remaining gold in the Polotsk warehouse Each of you can get a third of the silver and supplies, and I don’t want any of it.”

Injaslav briskly proposed the distribution plan that had been prepared, and everyone was very satisfied.

Compared with the previous population, the last one is purely an addition. After these wars, the warehouses of the Principality of Polotsk have long been empty, and all that can be exchanged for gold and silver have been exchanged for gold and silver.

The gold and silver were used to buy mercenaries, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens, nothing of value.

In contrast, population is the most valuable thing.

In the plan, the migration of the population of Polotsk is very important. This principality has been ruled by the Vseslav family for three generations. The local people recognize the rule of this family very much, so Injaslavich wants to stand firm here If it is called before, then the powerful class of the Principality of Polotsk must be weakened.

The most effective way to weaken it is to relocate, and relocate Vseslav's staunch supporters, the resistance to future rule will be much smaller, and Kyiv will also move some people.

And if necessary, the Polo people can come over, they don't mind coming over to take over the production tools of the Polotsk people.

In addition, everyone also decided that the city of Minsk will be demolished, and the city's powerful fortifications will be demolished. This fortress, which obviously exists for Kyiv, has no meaning under the new order.

And Rostislav said that this work was done by Smolensk under his command, and his uncles also agreed. Isn't it just some building materials, and Rostislav's idea was to use these materials to strengthen Smolensk's defense.

Some building materials can still be transported to the north. He had already decided to start a large-scale construction project in the north. Unfortunately, the war broke out before the decision could be carried out, so he had to put it aside temporarily.

After dividing up these assets, the atmosphere at the venue was very relaxed. After all, everyone had benefited, even the second uncle who had been at loggerheads with Rostislav began to have a relaxed conversation with him.

They talked about the civil war among the Polotsk nobles. Those Polotsk nobles who escaped from the battlefield basically annexed the land of those dead neighbors non-stop, and now the entire principality is fighting. How happy.

...

These nobles thought that everything was the same as before, but the Yaroslavitches had made up their minds to get rid of this group that had troubled the Grand Duke.

In this way, among the talking and laughing of the princes of Ross, the future of these nobles has been decided, they will be replaced, and nobles from all over Ross will sit in their places.

Of course the Yaroslavitches can do this, they are victors, and the most important thing is that they have an army around them, and the army can easily accomplish what the princes want to do.

Back then, Kyiv had to compromise because of the existence of this group of people, and the result of the compromise was Polotsk, which has troubled Ross for two generations. This time they will not make such a mistake.

Rostislav also gave a suggestion, which is to let his Riga vassal Sogil take over the situation in the Baltic region after Polotsk's withdrawal.

The overlord of the Baltic region is undoubtedly Polotsk, and its collapse will inevitably lead to chaos, and the chaos will spread widely.

Rostislav didn't want those Baltic barbarians to rob his land and increase the cost of maintaining security and stability, and the newly established Principality of Injaslavitch certainly couldn't maintain order.

Therefore, a temporary restrainer is needed, and the prince proposed Riga. Riga is a choice that everyone can accept, because this strength is not strong, and it is acceptable to temporarily give up power to him.

Therefore, the request of the princes of Moscow was agreed to by the princes, and the political situation of the Baltic region in the next few years was also established in this way.

"Sviatoslav, why didn't your Polish son-in-law send anyone to support you? Kazimierz gave Injaslav a lot of support back then."

Vsevolod accidentally mentioned the Polish son-in-law of his second uncle, and this attracted Rostislav's attention, and his ears immediately perked up.

"That kid is busy with the war. He is a Pomeranian and an old man of the empire. The war has never stopped. He is as warlike as his ancestors. How can he have the energy to support me?"

Svyatoslav waved his hand, saying that he didn't need to care about it at all, that Polish kid couldn't even finish his own war, let alone any support.

Rostislav felt a little pity in his heart, he didn't hear any interesting news, and the information revealed in just a few words is often very valuable.

But what the second uncle said this time is really watertight. What is the secret of Boleslaw fighting everywhere.

"Rostislav, how is the situation in Novgorod?"

But the next sentence that sounded made Rostislav feel alarmed. The Prince of Moscow looked at the source of the voice, which was his uncle.

The other two uncles also focused their attention. This is a really big event, and it must be done properly, otherwise... This is the beginning of another war.

The soldiers in the fort put their hands on their weapons. Everyone here is very sensitive to politics. Knowing the possible results of this topic, they all began to prepare for immediate battles.

And Rostislav sighed in his heart. He should have thought of it a long time ago. Now that the Polotsk issue has been resolved, the Novgorod issue must be next.

The Prince of Moscow did not expect the parties to ignore the matter in this way, but he did not expect it to happen so soon.
