For the Russians who participated in this conquest, this war felt like an anticlimax.
After all, for this war, Ross assembled so many troops, reaching the pinnacle of Ross's external military force, but in the end it produced such a result. In the eyes of everyone, the enemy who should have been extremely powerful ended like this.
In everyone's eyes, assembling such a large army would have to involve several tough battles, but the result was that everyone felt it was like an armed parade, and even half of the soldiers had never been on the battlefield.
This naturally made everyone feel very disappointed, but under the disappointment, they were even more grateful. They were grateful that they had survived a war like this, and their pockets were still full.
Although it was not a big battle, the Russian army collected a lot of wealth along the way. The staunch supporters of the Monomakh regime were removed from power, and all the wealth was confiscated and then rewarded to the soldiers.
The princes of Russia did not take many things. This was Rostislav's will. Since he himself did not want anything, Rostislavs were naturally embarrassed to take more.
Rostislav was still very satisfied with this result. It was the best result to be defeated without fighting without experiencing any major battles. Otherwise, if there had been some tough battles, the losses to the troops would have been huge.
Although there is no tough battle in this war, this does not prevent the poets from boasting that the Russian soldiers accompanying the army are already preparing works of praise for the generals of the army. Here they are doing their best to face these generals and nobles.
The flattery made Rostislav very ashamed.
But shame on him, he couldn't stop these poets from writing poems, that would be too inappropriate, and Rostislav had a more important thing than these sour poems, which was to lead the political construction of the new Kingdom of Georgia.
The territory of this new Kingdom of Georgia has more than doubled compared to the Monomakh era, and its internal situation can be said to have changed drastically compared to the past.
Tbilisi has also become a part of Georgia. During the Monomakh era, Tbilisi actually existed independently of Georgia. Now the return of this ancient city makes Georgians very satisfied.
Rostislav even had a chat with this "old friend". The "fate" between them was not bad. Knowing his actions back then, these enemies who were once at war with each other were now talking to each other leisurely.
Just like two old men who have completely retired.
Speaking of Zheergyi, this Magyar can be said to be extremely skilled in defection. When facing the Ross army, he directly defected to the new king and fought with all his strength against the recalcitrants, which saved him.
Despite the fate of being liquidated, he still continues to be his great nobleman.
In addition to these two big nobles, there are naturally many small nobles left. These guys are so small that Tbilisi is not even interested in taking action.
During this period, the Rostislav Palace received the news that his relative Oleg was missing. This made the Grand Duke sigh. He then canceled the wanted order, and finally became a member of Rurik who rose at the same time as him.
, and left like this, then you have to be merciful and merciful.
The local Persians were able to come to power again and take over their ancestral land. This event was facilitated by Tamar. She was very distrustful of these people who had followed Monomach to massacre her family.
The capital of the New Kingdom is also located here, which disappoints the people of Kutaisi, but it is also true that Kutaisi has declined over the years and is not suitable to serve as the capital. In comparison, Tbilisi is very suitable in terms of scale and environment.
Moreover, Amfrosiha, who originally ruled the city, handed over all his power to the new king.
This is the most effective plan to assimilate nomadic tribes, and Rus has been practicing this plan for a long time. Those nomadic tribes who fled to Rus will be treated in this way if they want to enter the interior of Rus to settle.
Even if you don’t introduce nomadic tribes, you have to talk about how to introduce them. Under Rostislav’s plan for his grandchildren and daughter-in-law, all nomadic tribes who go to Georgia to settle will have their tribal organizations forcibly broken up and divided into small groups.
Decentralized placement.
Since there was a ready-made mature plan, the Kingdom of Georgia naturally adopted it without hesitation. After restoring agricultural production in various parts of the kingdom, they began to introduce nomadic people from the north.
Just when the Kingdom of Georgia was getting back on track, the Russian troops stationed there also began to retreat. It was precisely because of the presence of the Russians in the past three months that the chaos was able to be quelled in such a short period of time, and now Georgia is still stable
It's almost done, then it's time for the Russians to leave.
The new king also has land in Abkhazia to reward the nobles, which has won many hearts. For the nobles, nothing can satisfy them more than land.
However, the conquerors of the past were not wiped out. Two conquering nobles were able to stay on this land. One was Radko, who still controlled Baku and the surrounding wealthy lands.
The other was Zhergi, who exchanged his land in Georgia for twice the amount of Shirvan land.
With Rostislav's advice and matchmaking, the Kingdom of Georgia decided to invite some nomadic tribes from the northern grasslands to settle there. The grasslands had never been stable over the years, and many people were happy to escape that chaotic place.
In Shirvan, a major reshuffle occurred in this land. Many conquerors who owned land here were driven out. They were exhausted from the civil war and could not do anything about the actions of Tbilisi.
Any counterattack.
In Armenia - to be precise, Anton's Armenian territory - the new king handed over the identity of the guardian of the south to Anton. For Anton, who once controlled the entire Greater Armenia, this was naturally a bit humiliating, but now he
His strength only allows him to do such things.
After experiencing Monomakh's depletion of fishing and the torment of war, Georgia is severely deprived of population, and new farmers are needed in many places. It can be said that the introduction of nomadic tribes is the only option for this kingdom at the moment.
The Georgians were very loyal to their new king. This was not the usurper Monomakh of the past, but a serious daughter of Bagration, and they were happy to rally around the new king.
In order to show their loyalty to the new king, many of these Persians converted to Orthodox Christianity and told the king and queen that they were their own people.
Georgia has become more united. After Abkhazia, the largest internal opposition in Georgia, was resolved, Georgia has now been squeezed into a fist in the hands of Mikhail and Tamar.
Amfrosi's reward was also generous, and he became the lord of Kutaisi. Although the city has declined, it is still one of the richest regions in Georgia.
Although many of the former conquerors remained, they did not have any mentality of ending the war. They soon converted to Orthodox Christianity collectively and pledged their loyalty to Tbilisi.
The new power structure of the newly born Kingdom of Georgia was thus established. Compared with the previous Kingdom of Monomakh, which could not survive without war, this new Kingdom is undoubtedly more stable and dynamic.
The sentiment of returning home is also very strong among the Russian soldiers. Everyone wants to return to their hometown as soon as possible and take the gold, silver and stories with them instead of spending all their money in a foreign land. The call to return home has already
It's been ringing for a long time.
Under the combination of these factors, the mood of leaving home in the Russian army gathered into a torrent. Rostislav relied on his own prestige to suppress these voices and emotions. Now that everything is fine in Georgia,
The army should also leave.
In this way, the Ross army began to set off. In fact, there were some people who returned home on their own in the past three months, but the vast majority of them still stayed here, planning to go back with the army and enjoy hero-like treatment in Kiev.
Just like when they arrived, the Russians left with great fanfare, and many local people, especially those near the soldiers' station, were very reluctant to leave because this huge army fed a lot of people.
