After getting the letter, Rostislav naturally immediately set off with his army and headed for the core of the Bulgar Kingdom.
When entering the environmentally friendly Gal capital area, Rostislav couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of this land.
There are vast fields everywhere. Although it is very empty now and there are only traces of turning the soil, that is because the seeds have just been planted. From the number and breadth of these farmlands, we can see what will happen when the food is harvested.
What a magnificent sight it is.
As for the cattle and sheep, there are even more. The Bulgars still retain the tradition of raising livestock from the grassland. They still have large herds of cattle and sheep. When these cattle and sheep come out to move around, the scene is so spectacular.
As for the clothes of the residents, they are even more decent, better than many beggars in this army, which shows the affluence of the local area.
What made Rostislav happy was that at least he didn't see the mad dogs who left the team fighting. Of course, this was probably because the Bulgar cavalry, which had been wandering in the countryside, watched the Ross army pass by with vigilance. It seemed that they had already fought with the marauding team.
There have been fights.
Adam's officials brought a large amount of food to the winter army. The food was collected from the local area. Seeing such a large amount of food and the fact that none of the farmers along the way seemed to be in trouble, it seemed that the land was
The wealth was truly beyond his imagination.
Many people in the winter army were naturally agitated by this wealthy scene, but Rostislav's fighting still made them remember something, and Bulgar cavalry could often be seen cruising around, which made them settle down.
That restless heart.
As the army moved forward, Bulgar City appeared in front of Rostislav, and then he saw the Bulgar City, which imitated the layout of the round city of Baghdad.
This is the first time Rostislav has seen this city. It is a magnificent city, a city comparable to Kiev. The white tower of the temple is so tall, overlooking this northern land.
Many soldiers couldn't help but feel shocked when they saw this scene. For many of them, Moscow was already an unimaginably prosperous city, and now everything they saw in front of them made them feel even more prosperous.
Of course, Rostislav did not let the winter army enter the city, because he knew that entering the city would cause trouble, so he stationed the army outside the city.
Many people were dissatisfied with this, but unfortunately these dissatisfactions were suppressed by Rostislav. Seeing this, everyone could only shut up and set up camp outside the city, while the prince and his senior generals and nobles entered the city.
.
Many people objected to this, so it was really dangerous to enter a pagan city rashly, but Rostislav showed no concern for these advices, showing full trust in Adam.
In secret, the Prince of Moscow made full preparations for the Moscow Battalion and took over the city gate after Adam welcomed them. Some things had to be done on the surface, while some things had to be done secretly.
Next, in front of the city gate of Bulgar, Rostislav met Adam Dolu.
Compared to the pretty boy in Rostislav's impression, Adam became more like a man after experiencing the test of war. His temperament became calmer and his eyes became more powerful.
Under the gate of his ancestors, the two greeted each other, and then Adam waved behind him, and then the Bulgar soldiers carried a bunch of boxes, and then they opened these boxes, which contained exactly
Gold and silver jewelry.
"Most of the property of Akkad and the temple is here. This is a small gift from me to the Winter Army, Lord Rostislav."
Adam said rather gently, and Rostislav gave him a smile, saying nothing.
As planned from the beginning, the boy Adam followed the custom and offered wealth to his benefactor as a thank you.
At the same time as they met, soldiers from the Moscow Battalion hurried into the city gate and took over control of the city gate from the Bulgars.
Adam didn't show any dissatisfaction about this, and even if he had dissatisfaction, he hid it well, which made Rostislav very satisfied. No matter what it was, it was what he wanted to see.
However, Rostislav is very sure that this boy must have more in his hands. The property of the Bulgarian Cult for so many years is definitely not that small, but he still has to reward his subordinates. This kind of thing is something that can only be seen through but not revealed.
But this money is enough for Rostislav. If he wants the wolves, tigers and leopards under him to settle down, gold and silver are indispensable. Although blind suppression can rely on his prestige, it cannot be sustained after all.
In the long run, the only way to silence these guys is with gold and silver.
The prince had the idea of this money at the beginning, but the amount Adam took out was beyond his expectation. After all, the pricing power of this matter was completely in his hands. Didn't he have the final say on how much money was taken out?
But it doesn't matter if Adam takes out very little. Anyway, if he has money, he will give it away, so he can focus on feeding the leaders, and the people below will give out some broken silver. This money is enough to calm the beasts temporarily.
As for the next step, Rostislav has to teach the people below how to do things, and tell those bastards who have never seen good things how to collect correctly, instead of making the situation extremely ugly.
After seeing the nearby beacon fire that day, the core of Rostislav's anger was not about killing and committing crimes, but about how these bastards could not even commit robbery and made things so embarrassing.
The Prince of Moscow, like his subordinates from beginning to end, believed that robbery and murder were normal after the war. In this regard, he had long been assimilated by the people of this era.
But what do you bastards mean by massacring and burning villages? Are you afraid that others won’t know if you do such things? Why do you want to make things so embarrassing? Make things so ugly?
The people's tolerance for things like robbery, expropriation, or even killing a few people is quite high. After all, armies from all over the country will do this. But what does it mean to just massacre and burn villages?
Therefore, the prince was so angry that he immediately stopped the grain collection. Damn it, this was originally an opportunity for you to make a fortune. At that time, he thought that these people would still abide by the rules and collect grain from the village and get money.
Of course, this is also related to Rostislav's own laxity. The victory made him somewhat forget what the beasts below looked like. Otherwise, he would have arranged the food collection more strictly instead of distributing it at will.
In addition, this part of the responsibility still lies with the prince's personal entourage. They should have accompanied every collection team, but they did not go.
As a result, these bastards went too far. At that time, Rostislav felt his face burning. It was a very bad feeling. Murder and arson were second to nothing. What if it aroused widespread resistance in Bulgar?
And rape, these bastards don’t dare to kill people in towns, but they dare to rape women on the street. What are they doing? Of course rape is allowed, but won’t you do it secretly?
So with those bloody heads and lifeblood, the only way to stop the madness is to be more crazy, and the only way to stop the blood is to be more bloody.
After all this bloodshed, Rostislav can teach these guys how to do things correctly. The previous order prohibiting expropriation was only temporary, and Rostislav will still release people.
As for why they dare to release it, it is because the winter army will have to leave Bulgar after staying in Bulgar for a few more months at most, or even less than a month. After all, the purpose of this war is to support Adam to rise to power, and no matter how hard he conquers it in such a short period of time, he will have to leave.
Nothing big will happen.
Moreover, it would be best for everyone if this army leaves as soon as possible. If they stay for a long time, something will really happen.
Next, the people of the Prince of Moscow accepted the boxes filled with gold and silver, and then Adam very vaguely told Rostislav that he needed him to take care of his people.
For the Adam regime, it relies heavily on the existence of the Russian intervention army, but this does not mean that the Russians can kill so wantonly on Bulgar land. This is not a good thing for either the Russians or him.
Rostislav could only smile awkwardly at this, and promised that there would be no problems in this area, that there would not be so many vicious things, and that the collection would be more orderly. As for the looters, the Prince of Moscow said that these people who were massacred wantonly would be protected.
The Gals can solve it themselves.
As for those barbarians and undisciplined people, Rostislav did not care whether they lived or died.
Adam could only nod at this. After all, he still needed the Ross people now, and he could only try his best to trust them.
