The battle on the sandbar of the Kama River was called the Battle of the Sandbar, and in the Battle of the Sandbar, the Russians paid a price of 635 killed and 1,030 wounded.
There were no seriously injured people, because in this era being seriously injured on the battlefield was equivalent to death, and they had already been executed on the spot and then counted among the dead.
Although many people died, most of the deceased did not come from the fief directly under Rostislav, so Rostislav did not need to pay a pension for these people.
Pension is a privilege exclusive to the territory directly under the prince. After all, how can there be such a thing as pension in the normal state in the north? In order to increase the attractiveness of the people in the area under his rule to become a "hukou population", Rostislav proposed this
a preferential treatment.
The pension itself is not very high. It is only one hryvnia. This is only for urban residents. Outside the city, it is only one-third, and that’s it. But it is enough to create some attraction.
This is essentially a small favor, but the prince of Moscow knows very well that such a small favor can play a very good role.
But even so, the prince was still afraid that too many of his men would die. After all, a person's pension was only a small sum of money, but when the amount was accumulated, it became a big sum of money.
Needless to say, Leo didn't need to be afraid of this kind of thing. When the time came, he would just play the data game and find a way to count those killed in battle as missing. This old bureaucrat in the imperial capital had experienced such things many times and was very good at them.
As for the people, after all, if you die in a war, you still get money. How can there be such a good thing? So for the money, don't you just go to the prince's population book to register and get some things to prove your identity.
As for whether other lords will provide pensions to the families of those who died in battle, everyone understands that if they die, they will die, and don't think about using anything else.
If these deceased people still had wives and children at home, they would either have to remarry or become prostitutes. This is how it is in this era.
As for the soldiers who came from the forest beyond the jurisdiction of local lords and towns, the fate of their families was basically unknown.
For their wives and children, all they know is that their husbands heard about some money-making news and went out with weapons to join some army, and then never came back.
Compared with the casualties of the Russians, the number of Bulgar corpses counted on the battlefield reached 3,000 and 500, and the number of surrendered prisoners was as many as 2,000.
Except for a few unlucky ones, most of these two thousand people have joined Adam's command. Adam's current army has reached 5,000 people, and there is a steady stream of people coming to seek refuge.
As for the weapons and armor collected from the battlefield, there are countless. Although most of them are damaged, they can be used with a little repair. The soldiers do not have high requirements for these. I didn’t notice that some people in the camp had a scar on their clothes and chest.
The big holes that have obviously been repaired are still in use.
The post-war trophy market was full of soldiers selling all kinds of dead objects, and merchants were buying in large quantities. After all, these big-headed soldiers did not understand the true prices of these things, and many of them had to come out to see these things for the first time.
market.
In addition, Rostislav also looted the Bulgar camp not far behind the sandbar, and obtained a large amount of armor supplies from here, as well as the gold and silver used by Akkad to reward his subordinates, and the most important food, which alleviated Rostislav's
Slavic's somewhat embarrassing reserves.
The consumption of grain was the most unexpected for Rostislav. The grain he had saved was consumed in large quantities in this short period of time, and now he could not keep up with the supply. This made Rostislav particularly depressed.
Fortunately, after the defeat of Akad Khan, the vast Bulgar land basically allowed them to come and go. After discussing with Adam, Rostislav decided to send some troops to the Bulgar countryside to collect and buy food.
Moreover, these troops also have a mission, which is to liberate slaves. In the hinterland of Bulgaria, even some villages have slaves, and liberating slaves is Christian political correctness.
Adam was very supportive of this. He believed that slaves could become good Christians and become the basis of his rule.
It is still a bit troublesome to deal with the nearly a thousand corpses on the battlefield, and it is not possible without cleaning up. If the corpses are left there, it will easily lead to diseases, and digging pits and carrying the corpses will require a lot of manpower.
Only a small number of corpses were taken away. Most of these corpses were wealthy people during their lifetimes. Naturally, servants or friends took their corpses back. As for ordinary soldiers, the only thing they were better than the Bulgars was when they were buried.
At least there was a piece of clothing to cover the body, and there was a separate pit, instead of being thrown into a big pit like Bulgar's corpse, like a pile of garbage.
Many of the wounded also needed to recuperate, so the Winter Army did not continue to advance.
Moreover, there are still some corpses of dignitaries that need to be sent back, such as Sasha, the son of the mayor of Rostov, and Varu, the owner of Torzhok. These two are also important vassals of Rostislav, and they must be sent back.
Send them back to their families.
Moreover, the princes had to write letters to appease their families and send some trophies. The death of nobles was different from that of ordinary soldiers.
As for the mayor of Sarnia, Rostislav is not worried. The mayor has other sons, and although he is old, he is very energetic. It is obvious at a glance that he still has several years to live.
As for Varu and his family, the princes are very worried. Orphans and widowers will definitely be bullied by the people below. Varu's weakness over the years has caused the nomadic tribes to do things in secret. The situation for these orphans and widows will definitely become more serious.
Some vassals in Novgorod and Moscow complained to Rostislav about the wanton behavior of the nomadic cavalry. If orphans and widowed mothers were in power now, the situation would definitely be more serious.
Rostislav planned to find someone to take charge of these nomadic tribes, and now he had just the right person on his hands - John Sokal.
The Russians were not in a hurry to advance to any stage, because the main force of Akkad had been wiped out and all the effective forces had been dispersed.
For the tyrants, the loss of military power meant death. It was only a matter of time before the famous Volga cities such as Bulgar and Suvar were taken over. Even if Akade held firm in the city, it would be nothing more than death.
So Rostislav just let Adam take his Bulgar army to take over towns and villages one by one.
This aroused opposition from many people under his command, and Rostislav suppressed these objections forcefully.
Seeing this great victory, some people wanted to change their minds, wanted to take this land under their control permanently, and wanted to make Adam their puppet, but Rostislav would not agree. This was not in line with his purpose or in the long run.
Interests.
Within the Winter Army, Rostislav had to reward his subordinates for their merits.
In the gorgeous tent in the military camp, Rostislav sat on a carved bench. The chairs were carved with Persian flowers, which came from the plunder of the Bulgar camp.
Behind the prince were soldiers wearing armor. They stood there like a wall, showing the majesty of the prince of Rus.
Even the most unruly barbarians will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they see such a scene. This scene undoubtedly gave the visitors a great visual impact, allowing them to see what power brings.
There is another person next to the prince who is preparing to record. Things like commending meritorious officials must leave written traces. Without words, many things will be difficult to handle.
But this is actually a habit started by Rostislav. No prince would do this before.
Under the shouts of the captain of the soldiers, the heroes entered one after another.
The hero of this war was undoubtedly Varin Kashinsky, who planted his flag in the Bulgars' main line and established their victory.
Rostislav generously divided Valin into ten villages. Of course, it was the kind where the prince's power had only initially entered. To implement the power, Valin had to rely on himself.
But what the prince didn't know was that three of the ten neighboring villages he divided had already been digested by Valin.
As for why Valin didn't report it, it's because the more taxes he pays in the territory, the more taxes he pays. It's better to keep hiding it. Although the tax is indeed nothing, if you can pay less for one day, you will have to pay less for one day.
The prince also gave Valin a set of gold-plated armor, which came from a Bulgar lord who died in battle, a spear with a pure silver handle, and a small box of silver coins.
This kind of spear was specially ordered by Rostislav to be made before setting off, just to reward these warriors.
Valin was very satisfied with these rewards. Both land and wealth were excellent. The most important thing was that he showed his face in front of the nobles who had ruled this land for generations.
Although he was a nouveau riche, it also meant that his family had entered the upper class circle, the circle around the princes.
In a few generations, his descendants will stand beside the princes and become members of the Rus' powerful people, and everyone will take them for granted.
And thinking about it this way, Varin became even more loyal to Rostislav who gave him all this.
After Varin retired, the next hero was undoubtedly Mieszko. This Polish knight showed great courage when the Bulgar warships came to kill, and saved the chaotic situation.
In this regard, the prince divided the territory of five villages for him. Although there were only five villages, they were all the kind that the prince had the power to enter, and he could obey the corvee and pay taxes on time.
Rostislav knew that Meshko was unhappy in taming the territory, and many people in his territory were still dissatisfied with him because of his cruel behavior in the past, so he naturally had to take this opportunity to give Meshko some reliable territory.
Of course, no one else present knew the doorway inside. It was Rostislav who held the list of villages and territories involved in the entire Northeastern Rus', and he was the only one who knew this.
As for the gold and silver rewards, Mieszko refused directly. As the illegitimate son of the previous Polish king, he lacked everything, but the most important thing was money.
King Kazimierz could not arrange for his children in Poland, so he could only arrange for Mieszko to live in a remote place abroad. To make up for this guilt, he gave Mieszko a lot of gold and silver.
Moreover, the Polish side would provide him with a sum of cash every year. Boleslaw had a very good relationship with his illegitimate brother, and every time he won a war, he would send some trophies and prisoners to his illegitimate brother.
Otherwise, Mieszko would not have been able to maintain so many Polish knights as a city lord, and he was not as good at dealing with people as Edward. The number of these knights was more than the personal troops of many town dignitaries.
.
Then came the Sherikhov brothers, Yegor and Anton. One of them supported Ross at the most critical moment of the battle line, and the other one killed the Bulgar prince Selim.
Originally Rostislav wanted to give them both territory, but unfortunately both Yegor and Anton refused. One said that he wanted to develop in Moscow and did not want the land far away from the city, while the other said that this battle
After that, head to the Imperial Capital.
Rostislav had no choice but to hand over all the territories that should be granted to them to Vasily, the third son of the Serikhov family and the Lord of Nizhny Novgorod, and then gave them more gold and silver.
There is no shortage of gold and silver in Rostislav now, and those captured from the Akade tent alone are enough to reward the meritorious ministers of this battle.
Rostislav was not surprised that Yegor wanted to develop in Moscow, but he was very disappointed that Anton wanted to go south to the imperial capital. This was a student of the University of Constantinople and a Russian. If it was possible to stay in the north,
Enough.
But after understanding that Anton was determined to leave, he didn't give any more advice. He understood that people have their own ambitions. Instead of ruining the relationship by keeping someone with him, it was better to leave a good impression so that they could meet again in the future.
The brothers Varin, Meshko and Serikhov were the most outstanding people in this battle, so there is nothing to say about the heroes after them. They used this to obtain rewards of land and wealth from the prince.
The only one worth mentioning is John Sokal. This nomadic chief performed extremely bravely in the battle. Although he failed to achieve any results, it was still a bright spot.
Rostislav planned to let him take over Varu's responsibilities to control the nomadic tribes settled in the northwest. Varu's children could not do such a thing. Those tribes must be in a position of control, and they must not come out to cause trouble.
After the final reward was completed, everyone in the venue cheered unanimously. Rostislav's generosity made everyone very satisfied. Everyone praised Rostislav's name and shouted long live God.
Then the banquet in the military camp also kicked off, and the heroes and those who plundered the loot were all immersed in joy.
