king of ros

Chapter 574
Trabzon, a city on the coast of the Black Sea, did not decline due to the Russian occupation. On the contrary, it continued to prosper.

Because this place has become the designated port for trade between the kingdoms of Ross and Monomakh, the port is always full of ships from all over the Black Sea. The large number of ships has also brought a lot of business opportunities and population, and the city has become more and more prosperous. , the scale is also expanding.

There are a lot of fields outside the city walls. They used to be just piles of wasteland, but under the hard work of the farmers these years, the wasteland has become fields, and many villages have emerged nearby. The ruler of Trabzon Strength is also enhanced by this.

But Oleg, who ruled the city, has never relaxed his rule over the land and trained his troops. He knows that only with strength can he gain a foothold. Even with the protection of Monomakh, he never Relax.

Especially when Monomakh decided to go north to Ross to gamble, Oleg secretly expanded his troops to seven thousand. The Trabzon ruler knew very well that if Monomakh's gamble failed, then he would There are tough times ahead, so he has to be prepared.

He already has property and a family, and his eldest son is now his right-hand man, just as active as he was back then, for everything in front of him, he must guard it.

Therefore, after sending 3000 men to Monomach and fulfilling his mission, Oleg conducted several conscriptions. It can be said that all the men in Trabzon were mobilized. Patrols are also becoming more tense.

Oleg is not overreacting, but because many neighboring Armenian and Georgian lords have been restless recently, and Oleg is very worried about these people.

Oleg's jurisdiction has entered a state of emergency because of this, and soldiers are patrolling everywhere. It is precisely because of this that when the soldiers who escaped from Monomakh's camp entered Trabzon, they were almost regarded as enemies. attack.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, these people immediately went to Trabzon to meet Oleg, because they brought something very, very important.

"That's it... I see, let's go down."

"Yes, father."

Oleg was silent for a while, and then ordered everyone to go down. As they left, Oleg's thoughts began to diverge.

The reason why Zheerji handed over the body to Oleg was very simple. The moment he learned that Monomakh had died, he decided to place a bet, and the bet he chose was Oleg Svi Yatoslavitch, this Rurik relative is the most qualified person to preside over the situation behind Monomakh. As for Monomakh's orphans and widows?That no one counts on.

The troops belonging to Oleg have always been in a passive state. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Fortunately, the commander sent by Oleg was controllable. He controlled the troops and didn't make them mess up.

Although he was already mentally prepared for this day, he never thought that this day would come so quickly. The reason why he was calm in front of people before was because he needed to keep calm. As far as his own emotions were concerned, he was already out of control .

Oleg saw his son's doubts, so he explained.

"The will of God is really elusive..."

"Where are Monomacher's wife and children? Where are they parading?"

"In the old capital of the Kingdom of Georgia."

But the next moment, he got rid of this situation. It was enough to be sad for a while, the key was what to do next.

Bringing in his eldest son, Oleg asked key questions.

Oleg was really surprised that his subordinates snatched Monomakh's body out of the rebellious army. Although he didn't think of assassinating Monomakh's death, he was not surprised either. But it was too unexpected for his subordinates to snatch Monomakh's body.

David's answer made Oleg laugh, it's good in that place, it's very close to Trabzonspor.

Listening to Oleg's order, David couldn't help being stunned. What does his father mean, what does he want?
"I can't just watch Monomakh's kingdom come to an end like this. I have to protect their mother and child first. Those ambitious people are ready to move now, not to mention how many guys who were suppressed before will now have to settle accounts after autumn."

In fact, in this country, the most suitable capital is undoubtedly Tbilisi, but since Monomakh purged the dignitaries of Tbilisi, he doesn't go there very much, and there are still people there who are loyal, but Amvrossi, who seems to be forever unpredictable.

Jergi is a Magyar adventurer from Hungary. He seems to be the illegitimate son of the Arpad family. Because of this background, he has won the support of many people and has a large fief in Georgia.

He couldn't help recalling those glorious days in the past, recalling the time when they fought together, but now one is standing outside, the other is dead, and the body is still being snatched like an item, and no one cares about the stink.

"What? You brought the bodies of my kindred?"

"Send a capable team and bring their mother and child to me. The speed must be fast. Send people out now, don't let others take the lead, and use force if necessary."

Monomacher's country actually has no capital. Monomacher himself travels around the country non-stop most of the time to demonstrate his prestige and strengthen his momentum. Naturally, his family is also on the road. .

Oleg murmured and lamented, this really makes people wonder what to say.

"It was a lord named Zheerji who helped us. It was a Magyar. His cavalry fought a bloody path in the chaotic camp, and then snatched the corpse out and let us take it away."

The soldier talked about the origin of the corpse, and recalled the scene at the time as he talked. After Monomakh was assassinated, almost everyone in the camp accused others of killing the monarch, and no one stepped forward to organize the situation. Down the melee began.

And just when they were about to run away, Zheerji's cavalry went to snatch Monomakh's body, and then handed it over to Oleg's men.

No matter what Oleg thought, his words were indeed impeccable, but after his son left, Oleg's eyes flashed a different color.

Yes, Monomakh's death would cause his country to collapse, but for himself, isn't this also an opportunity?Oleg's ambitions are not big, even a super-shrunk version of the Monomakh kingdom is enough.

And this is the thought that he hides in the deepest part of his heart, even if it is to his own son, he will not tell it.
