Alexios was in the main position in the camp, watching the generals raise their glasses and drink, and for a while felt that the loneliness after the original war had dissipated a little.

Edmund, a northerner, was the aide-de-camp of Harald, the commander of the Varangian Guard, a brave Viking warrior who bravely led his men to kill the rebels in the Great War, and was the first among the generals.

Edmund brawed his chest with a huge slap of his palm, boasting of his bravery and merits to the other generals present, several huge scars crawling all over his body.

Alexios laughed and walked off the throne, and the emperor took off his robe and draped it over his general.

Edmund was stunned for a moment, although the Roman emperor has always valued the Viking warriors from the north, but most of the Greeks have always regarded these northerners with raiding habits as barbarians, and always drove them to death while also despising them, and these northerners are also very aware of the deeply hidden malice of the Greeks, but today's emperor's actions still deeply moved Edmund, making him tearful and unable to help himself.

Edmund wanted to fall to his knees to salute the Emperor, but Alexiosto grabbed the northern warrior's body and lifted him up.

The Emperor took Edmund's hand and held it high, and said to the generals present in the tent: "In today's great battle, our warrior Edmund has created a war plane for the great army by marching forward like a lion, and I hereby bestow upon us the title of Honorary Senator of the Great Warrior, and at the same time give him a thousand gold coins and a mansion in Constantinople!" ”

Alexios's move was aimed at buying people's hearts and minds, and at the same time, the mercenary groups represented by the Varangian Guards were integrated into the system of the Roman Empire, and after two generations of traditional Vikings, the Roman era would completely bid farewell to the past, and what remained would only be the honor of the Roman Guard, the Varangian Guard.

The generals in the Great Tent cheered at the same time, the generosity of the emperor was far superior to that of the previous emperors, and following such an emperor, conquering the land of the enemy, plundering their property, and robbing their women was a great commander worthy of the samurai's following.

The generals in the tent sang indulgently, the emperor's wisdom was sung in the mouths of the people, they staggered and collided with each other in gold and silver cups, and the hops flew into the sky from them, and the celebratory atmosphere infected everyone in the tent, and the emperor quietly left the tent......

……

……

……

Alexios stood quietly outside the big tent and looked at the starry sky at night, summing up the gains and losses of this great battle in his heart, yes, in the future, people will only remember the emperor's command, if he took the lead, Andronica, a rebellious and self-defeating emperor who tried to challenge God's blessing, was easily eliminated by the emperor on the battlefield.

History will not remember the dark side of this war, and the emperor was planning the whole conspiracy as early as the beginning of his accession to the throne in five months. Whether it's assigning a court soldier to pretend to be Assasin to carry out a fake assassination, or bribing Andronica's high-ranking generals with a lot of money.

Alexios successfully established the authority of the emperor in this counterinsurgency war, and even the barbarian mercenaries began to fear the emperor after seeing the emperor's huge appeal on the battlefield, and even had the idea of the chosen one in their hearts.

Alexios deliberately created this atmosphere so that enemies inside and outside the empire were afraid of fighting the Roman emperor, and of course it required the two men to be gagged.

"See Your Majesty." They were met by the generals Phokas and Kimishis, who had originally belonged to Andronika, and who now offered their allegiance to the Emperor.

Alexios looked down at the two kneeling on the ground, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart, that is, these two people betrayed Andronica in this battle, taking away more than half of the rebels' troops for him, and the performance before this battle was very good, and those who did not know would think that the majesty of the Roman emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the rebels did not even have the courage to attack the emperor.

But Alexios knows that this is the power of the golden bullet, although money cannot be everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, Alexios now admires this sentence until then, but he is not stupid enough to think that his money can always maintain the loyalty of these two people.

Since Phukas and Kimis Heath can betray Andronika, they can also betray him as an emperor for money, but he will not kill disloyal and reliable generals at will, and their performance today does not allow him to execute these two people at will, even if the hatred of rebellion is deeply rooted in the heart of every monarch, but he cannot do so, so that your hero will make you die a good death, this sentence has always been deeply regarded by him in his previous life.

Any wise monarch knows that the emperor must not kill anyone who is valuable to him, and he must reward and punish meritorious generals, even if he does not like them.

Alexios and Yan Yuese looked at the two generals kneeling on the ground and said: "Your loyalty, I have already testified, I grant you the title of senator, and you will continue to contribute to the empire in the senate in the future, what about the two ministers?" ”

Phocas and Kimiss Hiss looked at each other and lost their voices at the same time, they never expected that the emperor would deprive them of their military rights in this way, and only gave them a false title, the current Senate still has such huge rights as in the Republic period!

The two of them knelt on the ground for a while, but they didn't know how to answer, so they were cold, Alexios sneered in his heart, even if he was reluctant, what could he do, since you have entered my camp, how can you let you go back and continue to be a warlord.

"Your Majesty, we are willing!" Fukas and Kimishisky replied almost with tears, the emperor's eyes had gradually become cold, and several nearby guards had already pressed their hands to their swords, if they could not respond to the emperor's request today, I am afraid that they would not be able to leave the emperor's camp alive.

Alexios has no interest in continuing to pay attention to these two men, if they can obey the emperor's wishes, then they will be the heroes of the empire, and there will be their place in the future empire, if they hesitate to covet power, the emperor will not mind letting the blood of tonight's celebration stain the earth.

……

……

……

Early the next morning, when the army began to regroup, the emperor gathered his generals and announced in public that Khayyam would be appointed commander of the cities along the northern coast of Asia Minor, and Edmund would be the commander of the cities along the western coast of Asia Minor.

By the time the sun was overhead, the Emperor's army had already arrived at the sea of Constantinople on warships......

The sea breeze blows, the white doves fly, has peace come......
