Monomakh's capture of Tbilisi had a huge impact, and the first impact was the Turkic army that invaded the hinterland of Georgia.
After learning that their largest logistics base had been destroyed, the entire Turkic army was thrown into chaos. They were not a strict army to begin with, they were just a plundering coalition united by several Seljuq military commanders.
They only came here for plunder and profit. Needless to say, the tightness of such an army was pitiful.
It can be said that the control of the several commanders of this nomadic army over their troops is extremely miserable. It is difficult to control them at ordinary times, but after such a big problem occurs in the rear, it goes without saying.
Under such circumstances, some people want to fight back and retake Tbilisi, while others want to disband the army. Then everyone will do their own thing, and different opinions will naturally lead to disputes. People wave their arms angrily at the meeting
, as if this would increase their persuasiveness, but in fact it only creates conflicts between people.
Due to the bad relations between the various ministries, the invading Seljuq army became chaotic and began to disintegrate on its own.
The Georgians seized the opportunity, and the nobles and kings decisively launched a counterattack. The counterattack was a complete success. The Islamic army immediately collapsed in the face of the Christian attack. This was only intended to recreate the grand scene of the Turks' conquest of Anatolia.
The army was finished like this.
However, not many people died, and the Turkic nomads are still scattered across the vast land of Georgia.
Generally speaking, the Georgians should carry out an expulsion of the nomadic tribes in the territory, but now no one has the energy, they intend to go to Tbilisi.
Monomakh's success attracted everyone's attention. People's attention is now focused on this military adventurer. His achievements are really impressive. Tbilisi, a large city with a population no less than Kiev, is now
It belongs to him, as well as the surrounding fertile farmland. If he can truly control this land, he will surely rise and become the new political star of this land.
As for the extravagant wealth gained, it is even more numerous. The wealth accumulated by the emirs of Tbilisi is now in his hands. He has also confiscated the homes of some Islamic dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. These people mainly surround the emirs.
activities, so they followed their beheaded master to death.
He also has the livestock herds brought by the nomads. Some nomads put their herds here, and now they all belong to Monomach.
It can be said that Monomakh is now the richest man in the entire Transcaucasus, and he also controls a rare big city, suddenly becoming the favorite of the entire region - you know, this young man is not married.
News about Monomach's success also spread rapidly along the trade routes. People soon learned that another successful military adventurer had appeared, and mercenaries and adventurers from all walks of life were ready to take action.
This news caused the most shocking waves in Ross. By this time, the news had been seriously deformed during the spread and became more and more exaggerated. These exaggerated news had a huge impact in Ross.
Many "unreliable people" under Rostislav's rule packed their bags and planned to go to the prince they longed for more.
Most of these guys were those who fell in status due to the change of regime but were not exiled. Anyway, they had no future in Russia, so they might as well go south to have a good adventure, so many Russians moved to the south for a while.
Quite a few.
Rostislav had no intention of stopping them. It was a good thing that these people left as soon as possible. Rostislav hoped that these potential rebels would get out of Rus as soon as possible, so as not to continue to lurk and build bombs that would explode at any time.
In the Vladimir Palace, Rostislav was forced to hold an important meeting on this matter. This matter has become a focus of discussion in Kiev and even Southern Russia, causing some people to panic. As the Grand Duke, he must pass
The meeting is here to set a tone for this matter so that subordinates can carry out their work next.
In the main hall of Vladimir Palace, Rostislav was holding his head. The Grand Duke of Kiev couldn't help but feel a headache. He never expected that Monomakh would achieve such great achievements so quickly.
Rostislav has always wanted to ignore his relative. As long as he lives his own life and doesn't come to Rus to provoke him, he will not do anything.
The Grand Duke of Kiev has a very good relationship with his third uncle. It is for this reason that he does not want to cut off his third uncle's bloodline.
But now Monomakh occupies a large city with a population and size no less than Kiev. The previous Trabzon was essentially a small place, so it can continue to be ignored. Now Rostislav cannot ignore Monomakh even if he wants to.
.
He had to discuss how to treat this relative and come up with a unified plan to appease Rus who was a little agitated by the achievements of other Yaroslavich descendants, so today's meeting was held.
"Okay, everyone, you all know the situation, now let's talk about what we should do."
The Grand Duke of Kiev put down his hands and looked at the important ministers and nobles under his command. He wanted to stop their opinions and comprehensively understand them.
"Master Rostislav, you are too worried. I don't think you need to worry too much."
The only one who could call Rostislav this casually was Jan, an old friend of the Grand Duke. He had changed a lot in the past few years when he took charge of Chernigov, and his overall momentum had also become stronger.
"Although it is surprising that the boy has achieved such results, it does not mean that he can sit still. When I was bragging to Abdul in Moscow, he talked to me about this city. If he wanted to control this city,
A city with mixed beliefs is no simple matter."
Rostislav was a little surprised that Jan and Abdul had talked. Didn't this old friend not like to make friends? This was a big surprise to him.
"The population of Tbilisi is no less than that of Kiev, but there are too many different faiths and nationalities in the city. Whether your relative can sit firmly in the city is a problem, so Rostislav, we will do it for the time being.
There is no need to worry about what will happen to that guy, just wait quietly, he may die soon in the civil war in Georgia, which is not a peaceful land."
Yang's words made everyone nod subconsciously, including Rostislav. In fact, most people here have this subconscious mind. As rulers, they know better than anyone else how difficult it is to rule.
"How about sending a killer? As long as this person is dead, we don't have to worry about the threat he brings. Wouldn't it be better to use a dagger to solve the problem?"
It was Leo who spoke next, and the manager of the Kiev Palace gave the fastest and cheapest solution right away.
"No, we are not killers yet, and we are not that bad."
There was a rare hint of disgust in Rostislav's tone. He didn't like this kind of behavior, and it was really difficult to succeed in assassinating a war lord. To assassinate a guy who crawled around on the battlefield?
It seems difficult for him to succeed.
Noticing the change in the Grand Duke's tone, Leo changed the topic without leaving any trace, "Then I have only one suggestion, strengthen the control of Temutolokan. Although they have expressed surrender, we have never been able to do so.
No manpower has been sent there."
"Well, this is a good idea. We must start strengthening it. Domnall, you go and choose some people. We must make Temutolokan reliable."
The captain of the janissary bowed slightly to show that he remembered this.
"Forget it, everyone, I say you don't need to worry about this guy at all. He may struggle in the chaos of the Caucasus for the rest of his life."
In fact, at this stage, the meeting was essentially over, so the topics discussed became lighter, and the person's speech also received a series of approvals.
Everyone thinks that Monomach will definitely fall into the quagmire. How can a mercenary boy with no foundation be able to rule a land with a long history.
At this moment, a travel-worn messenger came to Rostislav. He whispered a few words in the Grand Duke's ear. Rostislav's expression changed slightly, and the Grand Duke subconsciously muttered, "This boy is so decisive..."
