king of ros

Chapter 572

Monomacher's kingdom has been very unsettled for the past few years. This piece of land that was originally tamed by Monomakh's sword is now restless again.

The conqueror is plundering the land. Even though the people are exhausted from his ambitions, the plundering is still going on. Monomacher seems determined to squeeze out all the resources in this land. come out.

However, Monomacher's extortion targets are not mainly the poor. He knows where the poor can get some money. He strikes hard at the rich and the nobles, and squeezes out these exploiters who hold land and resources. .

Of course there were resistance and tandem, but most of them were easily wiped out by Monomacher, just like strangling a cockroach, but both Monomacher and the rebels knew one thing well.

That is, all of this is just the beginning, and the real heavyweights are not over yet.

However, such a high-pressure situation is likely to continue. As long as Monomacher knocks down all those opponents, he can squeeze everything out more smoothly.

But one thing he did next had the effect of adding fuel to the fire.

Monomakh ordered the conscription of all males in the entire country who were obliged to fight, and also ordered the forced recruitment of a large number of civilian men.

This undoubtedly produced the effect of an explosion of kerosene barrels. The people are already suffering under heavy taxes, but he still wants to recruit them. Does he really want everyone to live?

There was a burly man standing at the door, while the layout inside was very simple, with a table and three chairs, the other two chairs were already occupied, one was short and stout, and the other was tall and thin.

Anton, who was hiding his figure behind the cloak, heard these conversations on the street, and subconsciously tightened his robe to hide his face better, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

And the tall and thin figure also said at this moment, "You two, don't you know what he is going to do? If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't agree to see me."

"Then why are you in this situation? Amvrossi."

"You won't, if you would, you wouldn't be able to stand here in the first place."

"Rebellion? No, no, no, who can fight against our Basilius on the battlefield? There is no one in this land. Rebellion is too stupid. I won't do that kind of thing like those stupid people."

"I just……"

"There is a Grand Duke in the north who has been preparing for the assassination of one of his relatives in exile all these years. By coincidence, he found me, Amvrosi, Amvrosi This matter was kept in the bottom of his heart as a secret, and he planned to use it as a bargaining chip, but now, he decided to use this bargaining chip to send the Grand Duke's assassin to Monomakh, and Monomakh had always trusted Amfro all these years West……"

"Quiet, do you want to be taken? Let those guys hear you and you're screwed."

However, there have never been many people in Tbilisi dressed like this, and his outfit is not eye-catching. His nervousness is only due to the psychological effect of hearing those words.

"Anton, you are really slow in coming."

Amvrosi spoke in a leisurely manner, as if he was discussing what to eat tomorrow, but the details in the words were noticed by Anton, "On the battlefield? Amvrosi, what are you thinking about? "

"What exactly is Monomakh trying to do? Does he not want to continue to rule? This kind of behavior is simply to drain everything and run away."

So Tbilisi is still a good subject of the king today, actively responding to Monomakh's orders, and it is also because those series of equipment orders keep everyone extremely busy.

Anton bypassed the spear team and walked into the agreed box. This is a very dirty alley, and many foreigners who come to Tbilisi to seek wealth often end up here.

"Shut up! I'm doing this for your own good."

Anton was a little annoyed by those yin and yang, but he still said patiently that making a scene was not something he would do.

"Ah, you've noticed, Mr. Anton, who really deserves to be a graduate of the University of Constantinople, really knows how to talk about words." Amvrosi said with a strange smile, "Yes, it's not allowed on the battlefield. But other places can."

"Oh, I really don't know when such a day is the end. It's war war and war all day long."

Tbilisi, the largest city in the Monomakh country, can be said to have become more prosperous under the rule of the conqueror.Because Monomakh "solved" the powerful families in the city who divided up the interests of the city, all areas of Tbilisi ushered in unprecedented opportunities, and with the expansion of Monomakh, various orders are also like Snow flakes generally came to Tbilisi.

Amvrosi Bezekin, the key figure who helped Monomakh obtain Tbilisi and stabilize the situation in Georgia, is the third person here, and he has always been absolutely loyal to Monomakh , and his appearance here also means that he also has other ideas.

But now, with Monomakh's defeat, his kingdom is in turmoil, and the orders in Tbilisi have also dropped sharply. Without orders, it means that many people have no food to eat, so the city's newly successful They shifted all the responsibilities to Monomakh, diverting the contradictions that should have fallen on themselves.

Monomakh's unsustainable depletion has touched the interests of too many people, and his followers have suffered huge losses in it, and with the huge losses, many people's loyalty has gradually dissipated.

Radko complained, listening to his tone, he still endured these words for a long time.

These words silenced the scene for an instant, and the silence permeated the air. Finally, Anton spoke, "Amvrosy Bezekin, what are you planning, mutiny?"

However, on the bright side, no one has the guts to oppose Monomakh yet, and everyone has to grit their teeth to answer the call. In the dark, some people have already begun to discuss their future, and some of these people even follow Monomakh. People who start a business together...

But like the rest of the kingdom, everyone is still obedient to Monomach, waiting for the first person to stand up against him, but it is so difficult to find such a person, and courage alone is not enough , you have to have that ability, because Monomacher can always crush opponents like crushing bedbugs.

But this does not mean that the citizens of this city are grateful to Monomacher for this. The families he eliminated are all deeply rooted in this kind of city. Although everyone is grateful for the disappearance of these families, but in the future On the surface, they are all angry and angry about this, because only those who push everything to the outside will not be targeted.

The words were not finished, but everyone understood what they meant. Neither Anton nor Radko made a fuss about wanting to inform. As the Georgians said before, if they are still loyal to Monomakh now, they will won't come.

But underneath all this seemingly normal, as said before, undercurrents are simmering.

Anton and Radko are the epitome of it. Rather than going to the north to fight their lives, they would rather hold everything they already have in their hands in the south.

A troop of levies with spears and pointed helmets passed by, their words full of complaints about the war that was about to begin, but no one dared to speak ill of Monomakh.

Amvros said coldly, and this really made Anton speechless. As for Radko, he just looked at the conspirator coldly, waiting for his next words, and the Georgian started soon.

"Amvrossi, I know that you have always been known for all kinds of insidious plans, but I am not one of those fools played by you. I have my own will. Are you not afraid that I will tell Lord Monomacher all this? ?”

Carefully bypassing those corpse-like guys, Anton knocked on the door of the promised place, and the wooden door opened instantly at the rhythm of his knocking.

Radek's voice sounded, and Anton just shook his head, and then sat on an empty chair, "It takes a lot of arrangements to run quietly from Armenia, and there are conscripted troops everywhere along the way. Gotta dodge them."

Radko asked a key question, and Anton followed suit, while the Georgian was still smiling.

"My lords, of course it is for the sake of the country. In short, go back to the territory and control everything that can be controlled. In the not-too-distant future, I believe that there will be many, many places where we can cooperate. ..."

Anton and Radko glanced at each other. They had an uncomfortable feeling of being played by others, but it was a pity that they had to walk down like this.
