In fact, this is not difficult to understand. From ancient times to the present, in the history of our mankind, any dissatisfaction of civilians anywhere on the earth is due to human rights reasons. The main reason is that they cannot live anymore, and they are taken advantage of by high-ranking officials, nobles and even rich people.

There is no other reason for people to be exploited. But looking back at the entire history of mankind, the senior officials, nobles and even the rich have never worried about human rights. They have all worried about how they can get benefits from civilians.

Exploiting more wealth, or how to get the common people to listen to them, let the common people help them build achievements, etc., worry about these things.

From here, it is not difficult to see that the high-ranking officials, nobles and even the rich have had excessive human rights since birth, while the ultimate goal of the common people in life is just for the sake of human rights, that is, for the high-ranking officials, nobles and even the rich.

Things that people are born with are working towards.

But if we really want to analyze this matter, from my personal point of view, this is not the so-called heavenly rule or the will of God. All this happened is just caused by the selfishness of high-level nobles and even the rich. Common people

They are the biggest victims, and they have to be labeled as unruly people by those who have had human rights from the beginning, and then continue to persecute civilians for inexplicable reasons. Anyway, they can always find legal reasons.

Then let’s look at the situation in Kievan Rus. It’s actually similar to what we analyzed above, but let’s take a look at the detailed situation:

In order to expand the war abroad, Igor exploited the wealth of civilians in a perverted way. Every winter, Igor would lead a large number of soldiers and then go to various villages to legally expropriate furs from house to house.

, honey, grain and other tributes, because they are contributed to the country, they are legal. Under this legal collection, if someone dares to resist or refuses to pay tribute, then a large number of troops can

It comes in handy. The so-called use is to behead civilians on the spot. Because collecting tribute is set by the state, it is legal. If the civilian refuses to hand over the tribute, then the civilian is illegal and must be killed.

!

Then Igor used this legal method of the country to receive a large amount of resources every year. In fact, if we look at it according to today's ideological concepts, this is clearly robbery, but it seems to be legal.

In our era today, many wealthy people monopolize a certain commodity and then sell it to us civilians at dozens of times the original price. We civilians still have to buy it. If it is a necessity, this is a disguised form of legalized robbery.

Or it can be said to be blackmail, but it is legal! The most important thing is, it is legal!

So Igor used this method of legalization, and then loaded the large amount of resources received every year on the boat in the spring of the next year, and took the boat down the Dnieper River.

Go to Byzantium to sell it, and exchange it for silk, woolen fabrics, spices, gold and silver utensils and other items, which he provides for his own enjoyment.

Until this day in 945 AD, Igor once again led the soldiers to the village to collect tribute legally. After the soldiers collected the tribute with very violent massacres, they loaded it on the car and prepared to return to Kiev.

At this time, Igor showed a very unhappy expression on his face, and he was even more dissatisfied with the tribute, so Igor said: Why are there so few tributes this year? Let’s go to the village.

Turn around.

The villagers were very angry when they saw Igor coming back with the army. At this point, an old man among the villagers said: Jackals have the habit of looking for cattle and sheep. Folks, what do you think we should do?

What to do?

At this time, the villagers really have no food. Even after giving it to Igor, they are expected to be hungry this winter. If Igor collects tribute legally again, then they will have to eat all the food this winter.

Starving to death in the ice and snow is obviously a dead end at this point. Since this is already an absolute dead end, it is better to choose another road. At least there is still a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, a villager immediately accepted the old man's words: Kill these evil wolves!

When Igor returned to the village at this time, he saw a large group of villagers holding axes and big sticks in their hands, so they rushed towards him like crazy. At this time, Igor had a

There was an army, so Igor said with authority: What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?

But as soon as Igor finished speaking, the villagers surrounded Igor, and even a few soldiers brought by Igor surrounded Igor himself. All of a sudden, you hit me with an axe, and I hit you with a stick.

Igor was beaten to a pulp on the spot, turning him into a pile of meat. It turned out that Igor's own soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, which shows how cruel Igor's own behavior was.

Extremely. And in the end, Igor still did not expand the territory a lot, and almost all the resources were used for his own enjoyment.

After Igor died, his wife Olga became the regent. Olga was a very cruel woman. After all, she was the woman who had been sleeping with Igor. Her temper and character must have been influenced by Igor.

, so Olga sent a large number of troops, and then bloodbathed the entire village, killing all the old, young, women, and children, and then sold all the young people into slavery, and finally burned the entire village to ashes.

When we see this, we can understand that in the face of powerful power, not resisting will lead to death, and resisting will also lead to death. This is the tragedy of us civilians. This tragedy has never been better improved since the birth of human beings.

, at least in Western countries, this is the case. Although there is a place called the United States in modern times that they say they are democratic, in fact they have many internal problems, and democracy is just a lie. We can’t talk about more, so let’s continue.

topic of.

When Igor's son grew up, he ascended the throne as the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus. His son's name was Svyatoslav. And Svyatoslav advocated force even more than his father Igor. It is said that he

He shaved his head, leaving only a handful of hair, and wore a very large earring on his ear, which made him look hideous and terrifying. He also often held a big sword and often led soldiers to conquer the east and west, coming and going like the wind, and he

During the war, he never brought any cooking utensils to the army and relied on plundering everything. Sviatoslav was very strong and often slept on the ground with his saddle as a pillow and ate half-cooked horse meat.

But Svyatoslav, he indeed advocates force very much, but he is somewhat different from his father Igor, and it is very different! His father Igor used legal means to extract the wealth of civilians, and then

Provide for his own enjoyment, and also say that he wants to go to war and needs resources and so on. But Svyatoslav, he is completely different. He will not go around crazy or even pervertedly exploiting the civilians in his country. He just wants to fight.

He wanted to burn, kill and loot, which is what he liked to do, and it was all foreign wars. From the configuration he gave to the army, he did not even have cooking utensils. From this point alone, we can see that this Svyato

The Slavic Grand Duke is not simple at all, but he seems to be a very powerful person.

But Svyatoslav is a very powerful man. This is only what the people of Kievan Rus think. If the country or place was burned, killed and plundered by Svyatoslav, they would not think that Svyatoslav

Slav is very powerful, I feel that he is an absolute devil, even a devil from the depths of hell.

And by 967 AD, Sviatoslav and the Byzantine Empire formed an alliance. After all, they both wanted to burn, kill and loot, and Byzantium had always had business dealings with the Kievan Rus' country, so they joined forces to attack Bulgaria.

, wanted to snatch more resources and other items from Bulgaria, and they even won! So far, the people of Bulgaria were miserable. First, more soldiers were killed, then a large number of civilians were massacred, and then

The whole of Bulgaria was looted. At this time, the whole of Bulgaria was simply a hell on earth, and it was so tragic!

After the victory in the attack on Bulgaria, Sviatoslav thought that he was simply the God of War, so he was dazzled by the victory. He wanted to live in the capital of Bulgaria, and then in turn attack the Byzantine Empire that he partnered with.

, and Western Europe. Because the Byzantine Empire was quite wealthy, at least during this period.

So if it really develops like this, then by that time, Greek gold, Czech silver, Hungarian war horses, Byzantine silk... all these good things will seem to be left to Svyatoslav to enjoy.

.So thinking of this, Svyatoslav burst into laughter.

However, the Byzantine Empire's raid shattered Svyatoslav's dream. It turned out that the Byzantine Empire had always been wary of the Kievan Rus' country at the highest level, and was afraid that the Kievan Rus' country would become stronger, so it began to attack them.

Byzantium, so Byzantium took the lead and directly attacked the army of their Kievan Rus state.

At this time, Svyatoslav was still dreaming and did not take any precautions at all, so he had to fight hastily. As a result, he was caught off guard by the Byzantine army. The Kievan Rus' army was littered with corpses and minced meat.
