Rise of Rurik

　　Rosburg’s geographical location has reached the deepest part of the Gulf of Bothnia, and the people who live here are too far away from Svealand, the main activity area of ​​the Sihya people.

　　 Geographical barriers have brought a very big impact. They all share a common ancestor with each other. Since the Ross tribe decided to move north nearly a hundred years ago, the people of Svealan have gradually forgotten that they have a group of brothers in the far north.

　　Only the large-scale long boats drawn from the northern waters once or twice a year can prove to the ordinary people of Svearan that the North does have its own clan and are quite powerful.

　　 Isn’t Svealand cold enough? Is there anything in the north besides ice and snow that has a huge attraction, forcing some people of the same race to insist on going north? !

　　 The answer is yes!

　　 That is fur! Lots of animal fur!

　　 Stockholm, a major city in Scandinavia in the future, has already existed in its original form in the ninth century.

　　 The water of Lake Mälaren poured into the Gulf of Bothnia, and some wandering tribes realized that this area had an inherent advantage in developing trade. Because the big lake is good for shipping, the large number of islands at the mouth of the river can easily be transformed into a port.

　　 The residents who settled in this area built a residential community, and they were called Mellaren by other ethnic groups.

　　 But in the ninth century, the strong man on the Baltic Sea was Denmark. The powerful Danish fleet took control of Gotland and also occupied the grazing highlands in the south of Svealand.

　　The Mind Subtribe Alliance, they continue to grow and develop in the Svealand Plain, but with their almost primitive productivity, no matter how large the land area is, it will soon reach a bottleneck.

　　 There is only one development path before the tribal alliance-to expand the living space.

　　 They resent the Danes for taking the first step in occupying their own pastures for grazing and arable land where wheat can be grown.

　　 They also hate Gotland even more for being occupied by the Danes, because the loss of this island means that the Danes have basically locked the possibility of the Minami going south.

　　 Although the Danes cannot guarantee that they will not miss any of the long ships in the northern bay, in all encounters, battles will inevitably occur.

　　 According to the cultural traditions of the Mind Subtribe Alliance, young men need to leave their families and open up a homeland near their tribe.

　　 An adult man married a wife, he would not hesitate to start a big family. In order to feed the large population of the family, the limited land is obviously not enough. Only by manipulating the long boat and looting under the leadership of the leader can the family survive the winter without being starved to death.

　　 After hundreds of years, Svealand's resources have become less and less.

To make matters worse, they are also faced with the severe development problem of increasingly tense local resources, and they also thought of a solution to the problem through plunder. The predecessor of the Danes and the Swedes thought the sub-tribal alliance, and the level of enemies they faced could be different. It's too much.

　　 Since the Danes started the plunder of Britain, they have basically solved the problem of hunger because they have obtained a large amount of food supply from the "Island of Plenty".

　　Because all the young men who participated in the plunder were young men eager for wealth, they were based solely on instinct to forcibly abduct the British Anglo women.

　　 The Danes and the Anglians are close relatives of each other.

　　 More food, more foreign women enter the Danish society, and the population of Jutland is expanding rapidly.

　　In ancient times, population was the best productivity. Even a child was an indispensable productivity for the family.

　　More and more Danes need more and more land to cultivate and graze.

The main body of the Danes firmly controlled the Baltic Sea and the only exit from the Atlantic Ocean. The narrowest point of the Øresund Strait was only five kilometers. This also made it easy for the Danes to log on to the Scandinavian Peninsula on the opposite shore and enter Yot. Orchid Heights.

　　 The Danes and the Minds met, because they competed over the pastures for grazing, and conflicts also occurred.

　　 One hundred years is long enough, enough to make two ethnic groups with exactly the same language, and they have evolved into two tribal groups full of conflicts.

　　 The Danes are indeed more advanced than the Minds, because they had to have various relationships with the Frankish kingdom, the small kingdoms in Britain, and even another completely different Wende.

　　Many cultural concepts from the hinterland of the European continent have entered Jutland, making some tribal leaders no longer willing to be a leader.

　　 They learned that the Frankish kingdom, which was so huge that it was incomprehensible, was only a tiny existence at first. Because of the courage and resourcefulness of the leader, the Franks annexed small tribes and became giants.

　　 The Danes of this era have already felt the strength of the Franks, because the Wende people bordering their active area have surrendered to the Frankish kingdom.

　　 Those Wende people are the Slavic ethnic group living in eastern Germany in later generations. They are one of the ancestors of the Poles. Because they were conquered by the Frankish kingdom, they gave up their traditional Slavic beliefs and all converted to the Holy See and accepted Frank's rule.

　　 How to be as strong as the Franks?

　　 First, let your own tribe become the leader of the alliance, and then make your own tribe possess unshakable strength, and finally the leader becomes the real king.

　　As far as the al-Ranks are very strong, the Danes have never given up their attempts to expand south. However, due to the powerful counterattack of the Franks, the Danish offensive was eventually contained.

　　Many tribal leaders who are full of ideas for the future realize that only a scattered group of people can unite to compete against the Franks.

　　 The south is warmer~www.readwn.com~The land there is also easier to cultivate. The best land is in Britain, where the locals are also very powerful.

　　 If you want to get more benefits, your own strength is still not enough at this stage, so you can only use the strategy of sneak attack and looting. It is true that no peasants are willing to settle down and open up farms in the looted land.

　　 Except in the Götaland area.

　　 The two tribal alliances are fighting over the ownership of the vast area of ​​Gotaland.

　　 They are all Vikings! They are good at solving conflicts through battle! Moreover, the peasants and herdsmen who have entered the land to open up the land, their hungry stomachs are forcing their brains to attack another group of people who will rob their homes.

　　 Even if the other party speaks exactly the same language as himself, as long as it is not his own tribe or allies, it is an unshakable enemy.

　　The battle started as early as the eighth century AD, and the strength of both sides of the battle for nearly a hundred years has been increasing.

　　 Obviously, in this regard, the Danes’ strength has increased the most, not only in population, but also in their warfare skills. They began to learn how to ride horses from the Franks, and they began to learn unique bow and arrow techniques from the British.

　　 Today's Danes are still junior students. They have just used these two important magic weapons that influenced ancient wars, but their descendants will surely restore the Viking souls of their ancestors on horseback.

　　 In the vast Gotaland, small-scale conflicts between farmers belonging to different tribal alliances occur frequently, and land and sea wars involving hundreds of people also occur from time to time.

　　 Because of the cultural tradition shared by the Vikings, someone in the family died in battle, and his brothers and heirs are obliged to avenge him.

　　 This almost enters an endless loop, which also leads to small-scale wars that will inevitably lead to strategic-level decisive battles.

　　 Who is the master of Jotaran? !
