Chapter 796： Towards the east
Those Lvdi women were temporarily put under centralized supervision. Since they will all be taken to Novgorod, they must be purified first in order to adapt to the new life.
Their old clothes were thrown away, and they were collectively pushed into the steam room to wash in the sauna, cleaned with soap, and then rinsed in the shower.
Thanks to the help of the Finnish Suomi people living in the city, the purification work was carried out smoothly.
It is this kind of bathing behavior that is unprecedented in their lives. Many women have soap in their eyes and are stung and screaming.
At first they were nervous, fearful, and curious, and then they got used to it a few times later.
They were distributed uniformly with clothes and pants, and even warm leather jackets with excellent protection against the cold.
They were able to eat wheat biscuits that they had never eaten before, as well as plenty of broth, vegetable soup, and even honey water.
The surrendered female leader Lu Di did not understand. Is this the attitude of the Russ towards the so-called "self"? After surrendering to Ross, can all the Ludi people have a similar life experience?
The old lady went to the village to take a hot bath, but she felt like a new life. Now that she surrendered, she had to express her surrender further. She readily changed into a white bearskin coat given by the Ross people and a fox fur hat with glass beads.
The lining clothes are more soft and fit, and even more wonderful, such as soap and toilet paper for hygiene products, the old lady quickly learned to use.
The female chief is only fifty years old, but she looks as old as eighty years old.
The Rudi people live in that bad way of life, and it is rare for men and women to survive until the age of fifty.
The renewed female leader was authorized to visit the huge city wall, and her visit was deliberately guided by Rurik, with the purpose of deeply shocking the old lady and swearing the absolute power of the strong.
She saw a large number of giant ships moored at the ice-bound pier, the rows of long ships deliberately towed up by the ice-bound river, and were dragged to the shipyard to observe the construction of the ships.
Because the snow and ice will melt away in at most four months, there is no one invincible for the Russian Navy to enter the Great Lakes.
She saw the training of the cavalry again, and the heroic posture of the rider. She never thought that this old lady had not even seen a horse, and thought that the men rode like a giant deer without horns.
It's amazing to be able to shoot arrows while riding the "Giant Deer"! Do not! They can also ride the "Giant Deer" with their spears running wildly.
It was a "giant deer" without horns, and the number seemed to be a lot. However, compared to the black reindeer herd, the female leader was deeply shocked. She never dreamed that the Ross people were not only raising deer on a large scale, but the Rapp who surrendered to Ross early was true. The Ross people had innumerable deer!
What is an intuitive reflection of the strength of a tribe? The Ludi people simply regard the number of deer raised as the first criterion.
She can only think of the concept of "a lot" as there are as many ships as the Ross people have. She almost fainted for the first time after seeing the huge herd of deer.
"Ross are a powerful force that I must not neglect..." She thought...
With this thought in mind, the female leader Lu Di hurriedly met Lurik to report her feelings and thoughts after completing the tour. She apologized to the wrong battle from the bottom of her heart, even though the Ross Bearhunting team was the real intruder.
Rurik sat in the high hall, and the humble female leader sat on the ground cautiously.
"Now you see my true power and see this city. How?"
"It's as powerful as a stag, and we are as humble as a squirrel." The female chief did not have very clever vocabulary to describe it.
Rurik nodded: "Is this your answer? Very good. I didn't call you to listen to your praise!"
At this point, Rurik's eyes suddenly sharpened: "There are only you and me. I think you know very well that if you commit a rebellious behavior in the future, you will be punished the most severely by me."
"Yes! How dare we disobey. We are your servants."
"Okay. Since you are a servant, you should behave as a servant. I have a plan invented, and now I need to listen to your opinion."
"Ah? Me? I'm a humble servant, how can I have an opinion."
"You are a wise man!" Rurik made it clear, "The Karelians are my enemies. If they attack my servants, they must be wiped out by me. As you said, a group of Karelian exiles ran there. In your east, there is another big lake there, does this happen?"
"There is such a thing."
"That big lake is called Onega in your language?"
"It's the same." She said with surprise.
Rurik nodded: "Obviously, our Ross territory must be expanded to Lake Onega. As for the people who happen to live on that lake, I will be rewarded for obedience, and sanctions for rebellion after submission. Resolute resistance is genocide. I will send troops to conquer there. You! And you Ludi people, must pay the obligation of surrender!"
The so-called obligation is that the Lu Di people must send troops to fight. Even if everyone knows the bad nature of the so-called Lu Di soldiers, it is exactly the same as the act of naming them when they send troops.
This behavior is like the Austro-Hungarian Empire forcing the Principality of Liechtenstein to send 80 "strong troops" to the expedition. Although this point is destined to be fished all the way, the political symbolism is the most important. This is the imperial emperor's dispatch. The duke's "drama performance" to show the emperor's power.
But Ludi people will not only have performance value.
Although Rurik is very aware of the existence of Lake Onega, he also knows that there are small runoffs that can directly lead to the White Sea.
Soviet Russia built a canal on the basis of the tiny runoff on the surface like a stream, so that the Gulf of Finland and the Arctic Circle have navigable waterways. It was a canal with limited depth, and it was impossible to take a warship.
At this time, the people of the Principality of Rus didn't even know Lake Onega. As for the White Sea, it was also an illusory regional concept. But even if he knew it, before discovering the natural resources there, Rurik was convinced that he had to do some fieldwork.
At least he knew that Tsarist Russia built a city at the estuary of the White Sea in the shallow runoff of Lake Onega, and the ice-free port of Arkhangelsk was also built around the White Sea.
One of the characteristics of the White Sea is that it does not freeze on a large scale in winter. It is the eastern tip of the North Atlantic Warm Current, but to the east is the Xindi Island. It must be covered by the vast Arctic Circle ice cap. It is also the geography of the Arctic Ocean route. end.
The female leader continued to be ordered to describe the humanities around Lake Onega, pointing out that there were new large Karelian camps on the lake, and there were also some scattered and free Karelian clans in the northern world. He also pointed out that the south of the lake is another force called the Perm people. They live around a large bazaar in the far east. The free Perm clan has set foot in many places.
Perm is pan-Finnish—Ugric's vocabulary directly refers to the business center, where the natural conditions are not really bad.
The female leader mentioned a situation. The so-called Karelians had launched an expedition and recruited a group of Perm herders to join the group. There were indeed Perm people in the battle with the Rus.
"Perm? It's another tribe to be conquered by me. Unfortunately, I just want to destroy Karelia and spit out evil for my servants."
The political sense of the female leader immediately smelled the wonder. The co-author of the Rus people plan to expedition for the servants to get justice? Pooh! Vying out for the servants is the result of the expedition. The Ross people are greedy, they just want to rob.
Fortunately, Rudi has surrendered.
Rurik issued an order that must be executed: "You must send men to fight, and I will give you a certain amount of arms to show that you have not lost my face. Your people are all as guides, leading our army to find the remnants of Karelia. The camp is a great achievement, and will have the right to participate in the plunder of the final spoils."
This sounds by no means an unbearable job, on the contrary, Rudi can enjoy some of the war dividends. They live in extreme poverty. For example, those women laughed with joy when they ate a little granola. They have an extreme desire to improve their lives. As for morality, they only have the most primitive and simple morality-not my master, family, or friends. It doesn't matter if you die.
Leader Lu Di will not only send troops, she is the first guide herself. This is not over yet. At the upcoming meeting, she must participate as a representative and explain her situation to the generals, officials, and businessmen of the Duchy of Ross. This matter is very important. If it weren't for early ventilation, in the future, the Ludi people would come to Shilla Fort for business and be robbed as a barbarian, it would be a misunderstanding.
Rurik issued a plan for the winter expedition, which was very sudden, and the people in the city were generally surprised.
Why did the prince suddenly make such a statement? Hasn't it been decided that there will be no war this winter? Forget it, wars always come uninvited, and the world is never peaceful.
The most powerful first flag team spread out and went hunting. The leader of the flag Arik was with his beloved wife Asraki you and I, and playing with the children.
For example, Ragner and his brothers started to work as lumberjacks on the spot. This time, they started odd jobs for the shipyard and bought leather on the spot with daily wages. He is a very ambitious man, and so are his brothers. Naturally, it is impossible to play three days a day, even if there is a lot of fun in Shilla Fort.
The city was full of men who were eager to rob and make a fortune, and they quickly turned into ecstasy when they got the news.
Only Kagan, Prince Pechenegger, was quite surprised: "Winter is not a good time to fight. The Ross people must conquer the people of the extreme north now?"
Kagan received a request for a meeting. The brother who wanted to come was asking Pecheneg to send troops together. He bit his head and attended the meeting. He didn't intend to make any objections, but was worried that the horse team would die from frostbite. Similarly, he has never seen how the Ross people fight, and really hopes to see the Ross army perform killings in his heart.
The female leader of Ludi entered the Roseduma Council Chamber next to Harvest Square. On the other hand, this geographical location is the Senate of Tsarist Russia, and it is indeed a place for the nobles to discuss politics.
A large group of eager people entered the venue, and the whole scene was quite noisy. People with big beards rushed to grow blood basins and vowed to plunder new trophies.
Before the meeting, when Arik got the news, he first issued a summoning order, requesting the soldiers of the First Banner from the north to come back.
Most of the army is in Novgorod in the south, but fortunately there is a sufficient number of soldiers in Shilla Fort.
The son of the governor, Konuzon, can quickly conscript a 300-man troop, plus other miscellaneous personnel. According to the Lurik Winter Plan, a troop of 500 men is enough.
With Rurik's entrance, the noisy council chamber was instantly quiet.
Everyone listened carefully, and was disappointed to learn that the prince was planning to organize 500 people.
The meeting place was in chaos again, and Liurik waved his hand to maintain order.
"If you don’t let all of you go to robbery, you will be angry? I want to wipe out the remnants of Karelia and I can’t send out the army. Besides, I will pay for the military expenses for this expedition. Take. I will personally order the troops to crush the enemy’s remains, and then explore the brand new Lake Onega..."
Such a description does not serve the audience well, and Rurik said: "Don’t look at the Karelians too high. We didn’t get any good trophies twice in a row, and this time is the same. The meaning of adventure is higher than that. War, businessmen who want to make a fortune in one fell swoop, our army can make small fortunes at best, I advise you to stay in the city."
The eager person finally settled down, and a small old woman was ordered to stand up tremblingly.
Being watched by a crowd of strong people, the old lady tried her best to stay calm, but she couldn't speak for a while. She stumbled and described the situation in the old Finnish Ludi dialect, and everyone heard it like a bird.
Thanks to the translation of the deer-raiser present, the scene was not embarrassing.
As the female leader said, the Karelian remnants were poor, and had nothing but some reindeer.
Then the question comes again, isn't it very boring to attack them? Could it really be the exploration mission the prince insisted on?
People who imagined making a fortune from war gave up, and even Arik felt it was too redundant. He is the blood cousin of the prince, and it is necessary to support his younger brother, that is, he does not expect the glory of the expedition.
However, there is a good one. The trio of Arik, Ragnar, and Blue Fox who joined the expedition to Bremen gather together. Another partnership expedition can also enhance friendship.
Five hundred people were dispatched to explore on an expedition, and Rurik thought of the incident in which 800 Cossacks had killed and subdued the Siberian Khanate. Who is the Cossack? It is not a nomadic armed group formed by the mixed blood of Turkic and Slavic people in various southern Russia regions. Pecheneg is one of its ancestors.
In a sense, the "Oriental Expedition" organized by Rurik, a mixture of Vikings, Pan-Finns, Slavs, and Pechenegs, is similar in nature to the Cossack's Eastern exploration.
This meeting did not cause a sensation due to the special purpose of the Eastern Expedition, and then did not cause a sensation in the city.
The assembly of the army has begun, and the fighters belonging to the Slavic flag squadron stationed in the Fort Shilla have begun to gather. The first flag team composed of old Ross people who received the news began to return.
A group of other tribes in the city were sent by Viking warriors, and Rurik even rented a handful of private soldiers loyal to the guest merchants.
The assembly of five hundred people was quickly completed. Among them, the core combat strength of the army was 130 cavalry. As for the other four hundred people, the composition was complicated, and there were many ruthless people inside.
Old Ross, Balmerks, Mellaren, Yilmalun, Suomi, Slavs, Deer, Vips, Danes, Pecheneg.
Rurik assembled the main ethnic fighters and fighters of the guest ethnicity in the principality, mixed into an army, and spoke in Norse and Cyrillic.
The personnel seem to be too mixed, but when you look closely, the main force of the army is the Vikings! The old Russ are of course Vikings, and they are still quite a strong part.
Ragnar, as a down-and-out nobleman in Denmark, has brought thirty brothers. They are all war mads selected by the Danish civil war, and their strength should not be underestimated.
They changed their clothes uniformly. Everyone put on white robes and stitched blue stripes to prove their identities. The crowd gathered to make this army aggressive.
The super long spear is not included in this battle. The portable short spear can be used as a wooden staff. Swords and hand axes are indispensable.
The crossbow and torsion slingshot, Rose’s killer weapon, are the best weapons. Bows need a lot of equipment, and ordinary fighters must at least get a short wooden bow.
After all, there is a brand new place for the Ross Association. No one believes that the small group of weak people in the area can grab leather resources wantonly. The Ross army fought in the past. If they can hunt the red squirrel wantonly, the opportunity cannot be missed.
Rurik specified a plan. During the march, he would ride sledges in groups of ten, and 400 people would own one hundred reindeer sledges. There are a lot of vehicles, some of which are loaded with oats and a large number of pre-made granola. There are also materials for field tents, as well as charcoal blocks, earth nitrate combustion materials, large iron pots, and pottery wengs for fire.
The reason that soldiers and horses do not move food and grass first gave Kagan a special feeling. He felt that the prince was going to travel and he brought too many things.
After all, the sons of the steppe, when the Pecheneg people go to war, their horses are nourishment. They can continue to fight even if they are hungry and a bite of mare's milk, not to mention the high-energy milk nuggets and butter lumps they made. A tuft of pure fat naturally has "super long endurance".
No, Rurik, speak to his cavalry. This cavalry who has just trained for three months finally ushered in the first actual combat.
It's time to test the results of these three months of intensive training The young fighters are full of confidence, but Pecheneg is skeptical in the team.
Kagandai's subordinates pointed out this doubt: "According to our habits, going out in winter is very bad for horsepower."
Rurik explained: "I will do a good job of keeping the horses warm, and the supply of feed will be three times the usual. You don't have to pay for all the expenses. You are only responsible for fighting to kill the enemy as much as possible. After the war, you will grab the spoils by your ability. If the horse I bought dies is also my business, and if your horse dies, I will also pay a sum of money."
Is this clearly treating yourself as a mercenary? Kagan doesn't say much anymore, because it's good to be a mercenary. Besides, many of the leathers here in the Ross people are very popular, but it still costs money to buy it.
Don’t the enemy also have a lot of leather? The Ross people don't think it's a big deal, those are good furry things that Pecheneg people like very much. To rob as much as possible, load and bring back to Shilla Fort, sell on the spot in exchange for money and continue to buy salt.
Kagan had no worries after hearing the promise, he made such an abacus, and lamented that his brother, Prince Rurik, was really a generous khan.

There are a lot of vehicles, some of which are loaded with oats and a large number of pre-made granola. There are also materials for field tents, as well as charcoal blocks, earth nitrate combustion materials, large iron pots, and pottery wengs for fire.
The reason that soldiers and horses do not move food and grass first gave Kagan a special feeling. He felt that the prince was going to travel and he brought too many things.
After all, the sons of the steppe, when the Pecheneg people go to war, their horses are nourishment. They can continue to fight even if they are hungry and a bite of mare's milk, not to mention the high-energy milk nuggets and butter lumps they made. A tuft of pure fat naturally has "super long endurance".
No, Rurik, speak to his cavalry. This cavalry who has just trained for three months finally ushered in the first actual combat.
It's time to test the results of these three months of intensive training The young fighters are full of confidence, but Pecheneg is skeptical in the team.
Kagandai's subordinates pointed out this doubt: "According to our habits, going out in winter is very bad for horsepower."
Rurik explained: "I will do a good job of keeping the horses warm, and the supply of feed will be three times the usual. You don't have to pay for all the expenses. You are only responsible for fighting to kill the enemy as much as possible. After the war, you will grab the spoils by your ability. If the horse I bought dies is also my business, and if your horse dies, I will also pay a sum of money."
Is this clearly treating yourself as a mercenary? Kagan doesn't say much anymore, because it's good to be a mercenary. Besides, many of the leathers here in the Ross people are very popular, but it still costs money to buy it.
Don’t the enemy also have a lot of leather? The Ross people don't think it's a big deal, those are good furry things that Pecheneg people like very much. To rob as much as possible, load and bring back to Shilla Fort, sell on the spot in exchange for money and continue to buy salt.
Kagan had no worries after hearing the promise, he made such an abacus, and lamented that his brother, Prince Rurik, was really a generous khan.
