king of ros

"It's not a big problem, Uncle, Novgorod is very obedient to my rule. After all, they, not I, chose to sit in this position."

Rostislav's voice fell, and the Grand Duke of Kyiv didn't answer immediately, he just tapped on the armrest of the bench with his fingers.

And the others didn't speak, just watched silently. For a while, there was only this one voice in the fortress, and the atmosphere seemed quite tense, as if the next moment would be a bloodbath.

The prince of Moscow kept turning his mind, thinking about how to deal with it next, but finally realized that he could only react according to his uncle's reaction, and now he could only wait.

"that's fine."

Finally, Injaslav spoke, and after speaking, Rostislav heaved a sigh of relief, and he could clearly feel that the original dignified atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Because Injaslav's intentions were obvious, he expressed his approval of the matter. In this case, the nature would change dramatically, and fierce conflicts would be basically impossible.

"Novgorod used to be your father's property. According to the rules, it should belong to you. It's a pity that Grand Duke Yaroslav needs to let this city be controlled by Kyiv. Now it's not bad to return this city to sweep your hands. Yes. My second son is really incompetent, since you picked up what he lost, then naturally no one can say anything, just rule well, my nephew."

Injaslav said in a tone of resignation, obviously an acknowledgment of Rostislav’s control of Novgorod’s status quo. He still knew what his son had done in Novgorod, and he could only admit that the city was still Better in the hands of Rostislav.

And Rostislav, who finally relaxed in his heart, naturally also paid attention to the reactions of the other two uncles. He saw that the second uncle was obviously disappointed for a moment, but he was immediately controlled by him, while the expression of the third uncle turned from worry to Rejoice, because this potential Rurik conflict was snuffed out.

The second uncle must have ulterior motives. As for the third uncle, he certainly does not want to see the civil war in Rurik. Rostislav knows their uncles very well.

"Yes, I understand, Grand Duke, thank you very much for your decision. As a reward for your generosity, I decided to give you the loot I got from the Polotsk warehouse first."

In return, Rostislav gave some gifts to his uncle. Anyway, there were not many of them, but he would definitely be happy to give them to his uncle.

Because his uncle has always been known for being stingy, these things from Rostislav can just make up for his dismissal fee-the prince will definitely have to send money after returning to Kyiv.

The trick worked so well that a smile appeared on the uncle's face almost immediately, and he is now having a headache about the money.

Moreover, it is impossible for Rostislav to send only this little thing. After returning to Novgorod, he will have to send a lot of things to Kyiv to close the relationship.

"Well, I wish your rule over Novgorod goes well. By the way, there are quite a few pagans and Chudes in that land, so you have to be careful."

...

The last reminder from the Grand Duke of Kyiv seems redundant to Rostislav. He grew up in Kyiv, so how could he not be clear about these things.

But Rostislav could not express this on his face, and could only continue to smile.

After the next four princes simply dragged each other for a while, the meeting was over, and the princes returned to their camp and began to be busy with their work.

After establishing a strategy for dealing with the principality, everyone naturally had to practice these strategies, so for a while Polotsk was full of forced Latin scenes.

At the beginning, these actions were mainly aimed at the people to whom the prince of Polotsk belonged, and the nobles still fought their wars peacefully, thinking that everything would pass as before.

And they need to make up for the losses. They used to get a lot of benefits from the Prince of Polotsk, but now these benefits are about to disappear, so the only option to maintain income is to expand the territory.

But soon, the princes began to deal with the nobles.

The nobles who were busy with the war suddenly discovered that the All-Russian coalition forces suddenly drove to their city and demanded that they surrender.

Those who surrender can at least get a sum of money and leave. As for those who don't surrender, they can leave with their heads and bodies. Anyway, no one can resist the demolition by the coalition forces.

As for the people who replaced them, it was the warriors in the coalition army. As long as they performed well in the Battle of Minsk, they could be recruited by the Grand Duke of Kyiv and become powerful nobles in one fell swoop.

This caused a lot of complaints from the other three princes, because this was a blatant poaching, and their warriors were drawn to become nobles for the Principality of Injaslavitch to strengthen the principality.

But considering that we are all relatives, and it is normal for people to pursue a better future, then forget it.

There is also the issue of personnel migration later on. For example, when the Grand Duke counts men and women for other people, he also counts those old people and children.

It caused the other three princes to suffer a small loss, but everyone had to forget it, so they wouldn't fight over such a trivial matter.

But the heart is still uncomfortable after all, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable, and it is this discomfort that paves the way for some things in the future.

Therefore, during these actions, the Principality of Polotsk has undergone drastic changes. Its ruling class is being replaced in an orderly manner, and the original ruling class is difficult to resist.

Rostislav went to meet his vassal Sogil, and after seeing this guy, Rostislav knew that this kid was occupying the outpost of the Polotsk people as early as when the Russian army surrounded Minsk , greatly expanding the influence of Riga.

When Rostislav told him about maintaining order in Polo, Sogil had a bitter expression on his face, obviously not wanting to take the job.

Making money is making money, but it is also difficult to do. With Riga's size, such a thing is still too difficult to do.

The size of the Yoms Group is really not enough to put it there.

But Rostislav had already decided that this matter had to be handled by him, how could it be possible to just eat and not bleed.

And it's impossible for him not to pick it up, because if he doesn't pick it up, Riga will overthrow him. It's hard for anyone to refuse such a huge benefit.

Between these incidents, the Polotsk incident came to an end, and the war that affected the entire Rus has since come to an end.

And as the full stop came to an end, the armies assembled by all parties were also disintegrating, escorting their trophies back to their hometowns one after another, and the princes also bid farewell to each other.

In this war, the Yaroslavichs won a big victory. They solved the only principality of Polotsk that did not belong to their lineage, and divided up the resources of this principality. Everyone earned in the war. Lots of benefits and fame.

Injaslav's prestige had reached a peak, and this was a sight he had been looking forward to for years.

Everyone was very happy, and the happy people parted amidst singing. The largest army of Ross in these years disintegrated and returned to their respective hometowns with victory.
