Chapter 518 Comprehensive suppression
Rostislav was staying with a group of scholars when news came that the Danish kingdom in the north had captured his son, for after several years of work, Rostislav's major work of this time, The Standard Russian Course "Finally released.

The tutorial was not written by Rostislav alone, after all, it involves such a huge project as the reintegration of the existing Russian language.

To be precise, this is a work completed by many scholars organized by the Grand Duke of Ross. These scholars come from all over Ross. He can only be regarded as an editor-in-chief at most. This is followed by the names of the other authors.

It takes a huge amount of time and energy to write such a tutorial, because it is necessary to take into account the situation in various places in Ross, and to synthesize various situations to maximize the suitability for the whole Ross, and finally have to carry out rounds of practice , so Rostislav put down all his writing and devoted himself to this matter.

Rostislav has considered a lot of things for this course, for example, for the all-Russian nature of the course, scholars from all over the world have compared all the Russian dialects and selected the greatest common divisor for integration.

The Grand Duke of Kyiv does not want the book compiled by his leadership to be an ornamental thing. He wants it to be something that can really influence Ross for hundreds of years, so he does not miss out on all aspects to ensure the greatest authority .

Originally, Rostislav planned to take a good rest after completing the tutorial, and then continue his writing. Recently, his work concept has two aspects, one is related to detectives, and the other is related to gambling. Originally planned Write well, but the news came from the north. Rostislav had no choice but to go north to prepare for the war.

Not long after Grand Duke Ross arrived in Novgorod, he first went to see his son, and after confirming that his son had no major problems, he summoned the power of the entire Free Trade Alliance.

Obviously, this action by the Danes was aimed at the alliance, so it is only natural to call the power of the entire alliance, and Ross itself began to mobilize.

The members of the alliance are naturally aware of this, so they all responded to the call from Ross and entered a quasi-war state with the Kingdom of Denmark.

The real state of war started after Rostislav of Novgorod submitted a document to Denmark. In the document, Rostislav, on behalf of the Free Trade Union, accused Denmark of destroying the northern trade for a long time, as well as various unreasonable The blind price increase behavior requires Denmark to return to the original normal situation and stop those malicious behaviors.

At the same time, Rostislav specifically pointed out in the document that Denmark detained his son Volorida and tortured him, demanding an apology and compensation from Denmark.

If the Danish side rejects these requests, then Rostislav will enter a state of war with this country without hesitation on behalf of the Free Trade Alliance.

In the end, there is no doubt that the current King of Denmark, Olaf "The Hunger", very rudely rejected Rostislav's request, which also means that the alliance and Denmark have entered a state of war since then.

However, after the outbreak of the war, killings did not immediately sweep across the entire Baltic Sea. In the previous tense atmosphere, everyone knew that the current situation was tense, so most people had already returned to the ports of their own countries to avoid being affected by the flames of war.

Only a very small number of desperate guys are still sailing in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and these guys became the first victims after the war, but because there are not many of them in total, their impact is not great.

But the calm lasted for a short time, and soon, many forces in the Free Trade Alliance launched an attack on the Danish territory. For a while, the Danish coast was full of looters from all walks of life, and some troops boldly attacked Danish forts ashore, loot them and leave.

Most of them are Wendish pirates. The so-called Wendish people refer to a series of Slavic tribes and countries on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. More than half of these countries have joined the Free Trade Alliance, but the half of the Wendish pirates who did not join also participated without hesitation. The sack of Denmark.

Due to the maintenance of order by the Free Trade Alliance in the Baltic Sea, the cost of Wende pirates' activities can be said to have risen sharply. Now that a window of plundering has opened up in front of them, these pirates will naturally seize this opportunity.

It wasn't until this time that Denmark suddenly discovered that it had stabbed a scary hornet's nest. At this moment, all kinds of navies and pirates were all over the coast of Denmark like crucian carp crossing the river, and the news of the attack was sent to the king one after another. .

The current King of Denmark, Olaf the Hunger, is not a very well-known monarch. This can be seen from his title. Under his rule, there have been several famines in the Kingdom of Denmark, and people are disgusted by it. address him.

However, in this day and age, with a huge army in hand, there is no need to worry about public opposition. The king does hold a huge army and a huge fleet corresponding to it now, but he dare not use this fleet.

The reason for not daring to use it is simple. Just to the north of him, the Norwegian king with the same name as him is eyeing his land. With the Norwegian fleet to restrain him, the Danish fleet dare not act rashly, for fear that once the fleet leaves, the Norwegian fleet will be destroyed. The army advances.

The Baltic War started out with a picture that favored the free trade alliances across the board, which surprised many who followed the war.

In any case, the Kingdom of Denmark is the undisputed overlord over the sea, but this overlord is now being suppressed so miserably by the Free Trade Alliance, a force that has risen less than 20 years ago.

Nothing can change people's thinking more than war. Unknowingly, many nobles and cities that were originally on the Danish side began to consider changing their families.

Those who did not start the war with Denmark began to release goodwill and change attitudes, while those who followed the war began to think about jumping ship. Even if they could not jump ship, they had to find ways to spread goodwill to the alliance.

In such dire circumstances, by the middle of 1087, King Olaf of Denmark was forced to show goodwill to the Free Trade League under a raiding war that lasted for almost a year.

Facts have proved that it is difficult for him to do anything to the Free Trade Alliance, and the Free Trade Alliance can plunder his country unscrupulously. Under such circumstances, the people under his rule can be said to be extremely dissatisfied, even the nobles There were also complaints.

The "Hungry Man" is really suffering and can't tell. Damn, it was all your idea to start a war against the Free Trade Alliance, but when something happened, he retreated here one by one.

Times have really changed. These Yars no longer have the bravery of their ancestors. They are now nobles who live in well-managed manors and sit leisurely in gardens full of flowers, instead of killing people and setting fires on the side of their ancestors. Fearless warrior.

The King of Denmark has to lament at this time, lamenting the drastic changes of the times, and lamenting that the era that his father wanted so much to stay behind is finally over.

The attack on the King of Denmark did not stop here. The envoy he sent returned quickly, and he brought back the alliance's response to his opinion, and this response was very simple, requiring only one.

The Danish king must abdicate, and the Free Trade Alliance will appoint another person from the Sven princes to serve as the Danish king.

This is naturally a condition that the Danish king and even the Danish Jarres cannot accept. Letting foreigners choose the Danish king seems like they have been defeated. The opinion of the Free Trade Alliance is very firm. This condition is not May be shaken.

The alliance spent so much resources not just to get Denmark to bow its head. The goal of the alliance is very firm. Since it wants to solve the trouble, it must solve the trouble once and for all to the point where it cannot be repeated.

So Denmark had to go through a shuffle to bring the country within the league's reach, and that meant only one thing, and that was war.
