After the war, it only took Kashin a week to regain his composure.
Rostislav did not hold a celebration banquet with great fanfare, because the huge amount of loot obtained by everyone was enough to compare with any gorgeous banquet. The most important thing is that the celebration banquet should not be held here.
After leaving behind a small select militia, Rostislav dismissed the conscripted soldiers, sending them home with riches and a belly full of stories.
News of the destruction of the Bulgar army also spread, and the tense situation that once affected the entire Northeastern Rus also disappeared.
The uncles who got the news also sent letters of congratulations. The uncle's letters were still so kind, while the second uncle's letters were full of formatted words, and the third uncle was very precise in every detail, not forgetting to show off his culture and knowledge.
The uncles were very surprised by Rostislav's achievements. Originally, they thought that it would be best for his nephew to stick to the city until they came to help, but Rostislav showed what he could do with his strength.
In Northeast Rus, dignitaries from all over the country who once ignored the prince's orders are now flocking to Kashen, where the prince is. The battle has been decided, and now is the stage to offer loyalty to the victor.
As for receiving money from the Bulgars, of course that doesn't exist, it's all fake.
Rostislav received these dignitaries gently, and he saw awe and fear in their eyes. These people thought that the Bulgar army would devour the young man who had just arrived, but he proved that the Bulgars were the ones he devoured.
The prince knew that at this moment, he finally surrendered to these people. No matter what they thought, the surrender had been engraved in their hearts.
For the residents of Kashen, it was gratifying to save a life, but the fact that the Kashen silver mine was flooded was a huge blow to them.
After recapturing the Kashin silver mine, news of the flooded silver mine spread throughout the army. Naturally, Rostislav had to face accountability from all sides, and our prince's response was very simple.
It's all the fault of those pagans!
Faced with this impeccable reason, everyone didn't know how to refute it, so they could only echo it.
After all, the silver mine was indeed caused by Bulgarian pagans. This is already a natural disaster. In the face of a natural disaster, what can everyone blame?
The dignitaries in Northeastern Rus only asked the prince not to blame them for their inaction, so how could they have the courage to attack the prince.
As for his relatives, they didn't feel too good about this situation. After all, none of this was Rostislav's fault - in their opinion.
The prince's trick was a complete success, and he managed to get rid of the big bomb named Kashen.
Of course, there was a price. This incident more or less consumed his trust among his relatives, but thanks to Bulgar taking the blame and his promise to compensate, the incident was considered a thing of the past.
The men sent by their uncles decided to return to their masters after communicating with them, but Meshko and Edward said that they would stay in Northeastern Rus, and many of their warriors would follow.
Rostislav naturally welcomed this. What he needed now was the nobles who controlled the land. He quickly allocated land for the two of them and their warriors, allowing them to build the city.
Rostislav was not surprised at all that these two people made this choice. After all, in a sense, they were the ones who came to Northeastern Rus to acquire land.
However, the prince was surprised that they were still willing to stay here. The kings of Poland and Hungary sent them here because of the silver mines. At that time, it was also a good option to build a city on the land here, but there was no silver mine.
, this land is just an ordinary wild land.
As for Orui, the son-in-law of the King of Norway is here to help him, so he has no requirements for this.
In addition, he was actually a little dissatisfied with Rostislav, because Rostislav asked his people to stay behind, and everything was over when they finally reached the battlefield.
However, although they were unable to fight in battle, the prince still promised them a large number of gifts and would give them to the Bulgars as soon as the ransom arrived.
Letting such an elite team serve as the rear guard was entirely a matter of Rostislav's deployment. The first time he could independently command such a busy military affairs made the young prince very confused.
However, having such elites serve as defenders also has advantages, which is the stability of military morale. It is precisely because everyone knows that there is such an elite protection behind them that they can focus more on fighting.
And more than that dissatisfaction, the prince was more concerned about the fact that Orui, who showed such a strong desire to attack in the combat meeting, would obey the order honestly - of course, there must be a reason why his troops were blocked by the front team, but that
It is also worthy of attention.
For Rostislav, Kashin's victory solved all the problems he faced. Not to mention the huge prestige, the nearly 10,000 prisoners represented huge wealth, and even if half of their equipment had been divided,
The remaining value is also very considerable.
This money is enough to do many things after compensating relatives.
But he didn't dare to relax. There were nearly 10,000 prisoners. What would happen if these people started to riot?
In view of the current dilapidation of Kashin and the fact that the mines were flooded by water, Rostislav simply turned Kashin into a large prison and locked the Bulgars inside.
He served these people with good food and drink. He was not short of food now. He had captured all the supplies of the Bulgar army. In addition, he also obtained everything they looted along the way, which was enough to feed these Bulgars.
months.
He has already sent an envoy to Bulgar City, and now he is waiting for someone to be sent to redeem him.
While waiting for the ransom to arrive, people from all parties arrived in Kashen, and the prince also took this opportunity to reward the heroes.
First of all, Yang made the greatest contribution in this war. Although he was not active on the main battlefield, his activities cleared up the prince's future troubles, which was also a great achievement.
What's more, Jan was the most important personal entourage around the prince, and such a personal entourage would naturally be rewarded heavily. As a result, Jan was appointed mayor of Suzdal, which made everyone feel jealous.
Although Suzdal is just a small city, it is still a town. You must know that the number of towns in the entire Northeast Rus does not exceed ten. At such a young age, Yang became the lord of a town.
There is a profound meaning in placing Yang here. The traitor Olaf has an extremely strong influence in Suzdal. The prince needs his own people to sit here to eliminate the influence and ensure that this land is under control.
The next person to be rewarded was Bolei, the former commander-in-chief of Kiev who had been stabilizing the situation in Rostov. Without his presence, if the situation in Rostov was unstable, it would have a very bad impact.
Therefore, the mayor of White Lake City, the town that Yang captured from the Visi people, belongs to him. For Rostislav, letting trusted people sit in the border area is a very good choice. There are a lot of rebellious people in the north of White Lake.
The tame Finn tribe must strengthen its control here.
White Lake City is also a wealthy town. It has a developed salt-making industry and can also collect a large amount of tribute from the Fen people. It is a very good job.
As for the position of mayor of Rostov, the prince gave it to old Sarnia in return for his loyalty to the Kurkanta family.
Because of his efforts, Vanigo allowed the old city to obtain various statuses and powers equal to those of the new city. When the prince made this decision, his new mayor of Rostov could only agree, and Old Sarnia
He did not raise any objection to this despite the sight of the powerful people in the new city, because he understood that this was the price for gaining power.
As for Valin, this lucky man's territory has been expanded directly by two times.
The land was obtained from Olaf. The prince's warriors divided up the traitor's land. As for his children, the son was killed and the daughter was married as a trophy - this is the fate of the loser, Olaf's family
After all, it has overturned in his generation.
Coupled with the fortress renovated by the Bulgars, Varin is now undoubtedly a noble figure.
As for the land granted to ordinary mercenaries and warriors, there are too many, so there is no need to explain them all here.
