In front of the seat, trembling former Grand Vizier ibn. Maimun placed a model of the city of Ikonium respectfully above his head to signify the surrender and dedication of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Massoud's eyes looked at Gawain beside him, and the patron of the lord "represented" the son of the young sultan to take over this model of power. Maimon I will pardon you for your capital crimes, but you will forfeit your office and power, and from now on you will have a fair salary, and you will go to your hometown to study scholarship and poetry, so that you may live your old age. ”

Maimun bowed his head, his head pressed to his hands, and praised the "mercy" of the patron of the Lord, and then several former religious judges and tax collectors of Roma lay down beside him, holding scriptures and hadiths in their hands, apparently begging Gawain for additional forgiveness.

"Abolish all madrasas." Next, Gawain's voice caused your shoulders to shrug in horror, "I repeat again that the Massora is not allowed to exist. Gawain then took the hadith that one of them was holding, flipped through the pages, pointed to one of the passages and said to everyone, "Earlier you said in Jihad that when the warriors of the Crescent stayed in the homes of the unbelievers, they should not refuse, and that the corresponding crescent warriors would provide protection for the families, villages and cities of the unbelievers. Regardless of race or creed, you will be protected from any enemy or bandit, but I will protect you with the sword, and I have the right to punish you with the sword. My ban is to allow the mosques to exist, but from now on you are not allowed to induce or force any Christians to convert, and if they do, they will be hanged. Abolish your courts and madrasas, and if you do not want to settle any judicial case with the courts of the Liberal Reformers, you can go directly to the circuit courts of the county and border districts. Finally, all the Konyas will have to pay an additional tax to sharpen my sword, and of course you can also directly provide me with border military service, which will be tax-free, and I will keep your original fiefdom of Ikota unchanged. ”

At this time, Gao Wen clearly and completely recounted all his opinions.

It was the turn of all the former Roma Bey, Ghazi and bureaucrats present to make a choice, or rather a single choice. However, at this moment, Anatolia is the melting pot of many ethnic groups such as Roman, Turkic, Saracen, Turkmen, Armenian, etc. - the later Ottoman Empire, whose subjects are actually not only Turkic and Turkmen, but also many of them go back to the "Turkic" Greek (Roman) people.

In addition, at this time, the Turks' cognition of Crescentism had not yet reached the level of fanaticism that later generations, and their ideological world was mixed with many pagan colors, so their resistance to Gawain's "anti-Romanization" was not so strong.

What's more, the most important thing is that Gawain guarantees that everyone's fiefdom remains unchanged, which is the most important thing.

In a short period of time, the Turks around the entire Ikonium surrendered, and they built a military frontier organization around the city to serve the "Tarsus State", which was the third cavalry group after the "Red Hand Cavalry Detachment" and the "Mounted Cavalry Regiment", the "Oghuz Cavalry Regiment", which was a strong cavalry army, and the core backbone were Bey and Ghazi, who were previously loyal to the Giliki Sultan, and Gawain allowed them to have an autonomous command system, and they could use the seven-horsetail copper ring flag when they went out into battle, The supreme commander was Hajib (the agent of Prince Massoud), whose fiefs were located in Lesser Antioch and Ikan.

On the other hand, Miriosephalong and Iconium both had Gawain's own civilian army stationed, and the keys and armament remained in Gawain's hands. Because he had induced about 15,000 pilgrims to settle here by granting them estates, and the "relocation" of the former refugees around Iconium had soon established the district of Iconium (which included the fortress areas of Milio Sepharon, Lesser Antioch, and Icon), and Gawain gave Giovanni the authority of the chief.

Of course, the abundant output of this frontier area, such as timber, iron sand, grain, etc., was converted into taxes, and Gawain had to take part of it to increase the "childcare salary" for the family of the little prince Massoud, and the horsetail flag, which symbolized the power of the Sultan, was also placed in his mansion in Tarsus, and once the war broke out, Massoud had to pass a ceremony to give it to the guardian Gawain, who in turn gave it to Hajib......

After the stars had sunk, the church bells and the mosque prayers rang in the newborn city of Ikonium, the inner city was still smoking one after another, the Sultan flag was erected on a cemetery on the hillside outside the city, and the seven white horsetails were changing directions in the wind, and Gawain rode a horse and came alone to mourn the tomb of Gilligi.

The cemetery of the Dead Sultan is in the typical Oghuz style, surrounded by a low stone wall in the style of a star palace, so that the masonry temple of the Greek spire rises, and in front of it is a large tree with rich foliage that makes a sound in the wind.

"Your wife and children, I'll take care of them." Gao Wen placed the bunch of plain flowers in front of the stone steps of the mausoleum, "This is finally respecting your last wish, as for the rest, you don't have to think about it, I will fulfill your black felt promise in my way, and the hero's dream and blood will never be silent." ”

After paying homage to the mausoleum, Gawain, who returned to the Sultan's palace, gave instructions to Giovanni: all brigades, all civilian armies, and all border militias should be closed and defended to rest and recuperate for at least half a year.

"So, to Chief Danishmund, who has fled to Sivas......" Giovanni asked.

"Stay, as long as we don't move, Theodoro, Brenus, and Raymond won't move, so that everyone's balance can be maintained." Gawain rested his hand on the arm of his chair and looked very confident, "In this half year, my main focus will be on housekeeping. ”

Saying this, Gawain stood up with the hilt of his sword, walked to the tapestry with flowers, and thoughtfully, "Giovanni, now that they are all fighting in the Holy City, and you, Bramsson, Wright and the others all followed me in the first place to go to the Holy City, and now they are staying on the land of Anatolia, what are your thoughts?" ”

"Your Excellency, I think the Holy City is more of a faith than a city. That's what I thought when I set out on my journey from the countryside of Lombardy, not so much to pay homage to Jesus' tomb as to sow the glory of the Lord into the dark corners of the world. ”

"Can you represent Bramson them?" Gawain raised an eyebrow and asked the military judge behind him who was talking eloquently.

"No, it doesn't mean - they're just for money and fiefdoms." The military judge's straightforward answer made the Grand Patron laugh, "So Giovanni, the Oghuz cavalry also needs your guardianship and supervision, and the Crescentists will be transformed into the shield and sword of Christ, which is also in line with your philosophy, right?"
