Chapter 112: Farewell
"That will also be your freedom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I didn't have the luxury ......"
"You didn't expect me to be obedient after taking my body, did you? In that case, what is that night, a punishment for me? ”
"It's not punishment, it's immunity." To Agnes' surprise, Gawain actually said brazenly in the back, "When you go back to the island of Reispos, I have asked several Arnie maidens to follow you, and if you return to the court of Tarsus after that, Anna and I will welcome you at any time, and we can give you more beautiful maidens, and my previous promise to you will not change......"
"Say no more!" Agnes closed her eyes, angrily and sadly held on to the battlement, looking at the gray and blue waves outside, crashing against the white spray surging on the reef, this deafening sound just covered her uneasiness and contradictions, "Yes, I was born different from ordinary girls, I like to chase beautiful girls, which is incompatible with the precepts of the church, and you actually grasped this weakness, first used a trick to capture me, and also colluded with Anna to plot against my body, it is really hateful, hateful big brown bear." ”
Unexpectedly, Gawain's clearer voice came, "I didn't want to capture you, in fact, my judgment on you is - Agnes, you don't just like girls, you can actually accept men, I think you are 'bisexual'." ”
With a resounding slap in the face, Gawain was flapped sideways, and Agnes raised her arms in anger, and the slave guards around her, holding umbrellas and halberds, were terrified.
But Gawain quickly twisted his neck, tepidly, and continued to face the little sunfish, "Face up to the term I gave you, what I did to you that night actually surpassed what I thought of as a teacher-student relationship, which surprised me myself, at least at that time, I didn't treat you as a monster, but as a normal and healthy girl." Besides, ...... that night."
Another slap in the face, the neck and face of the great patron changed from **** to ****, Agnes blushed, she did not want to recall the indulgence of that night at all, because in fact the sheets that Wen Ruomina had taken, in addition to the blood stained with her virgin, were still half fishy and damp - and then Agnes said, "I will do all in Respos." He walked down the steps of the Haiphong fortress, followed the winding passage of the fortress, and quickly disappeared from Gawain's vision.
"A few of you go along and serve the Imperial Ink Officer on the island." Gawain sternly instructed several Ani girls who bowed goodbye, and the red marks of the slaps on both cheeks were still visible.
Later, in the old palace of Seleucia, Gawain issued a directive to the new confidential officer, Philaktos, to reorganize the army.
Philaktos was actually a Paulician, but now this phenomenon is not strange in the country of Tarsus - Gawain basically guaranteed the faith of the subject people in the territory, the former Philaktos followed the golden hand consul, because of his rough Greek writing and was appointed as a confidential member of the heretical army, and later after the establishment of St. Paul's College, Anna saw that this young man was more intelligent and ambitious, so she recommended him to go to the academy for further study, and now Philaktos is proficient in books and ink, laws, So he was promoted to Gawain's side - now that the little sunfish is gone, Hertomia is in charge of the court, and the original mushroom head Androdat is the county magistrate, and Gawain is once again in dire need of clerical talent.
Because the army was completely owned by Gawain and Caesar, and there was no need to go through the Council of the Six Divisions, Gawain directly described his plan to Philaktos, asking him to form a formal "Edict of the Maharaja" (Gawain and Anna jointly promulgated, collectively referring to the decrees on the kingdom, army, commerce, estate, etc.).
Now, according to the statistics of Firactos, there are more than 16,000 soldiers in the brigade of the entire Tarsus country, of which the Gimagith brigade has the largest number, 6,500 men, and is stationed in the vicinity of Jubail in the Levant; The Red Hand Brigade of 5,000 men is undoubtedly the most powerful and combative, and their base is now in the city of Tarsus; The Guardian Brigade was less than 5,000 and was stationed in Vanka.
There were still three counties, Seleucia (which was still under the direct jurisdiction of some officials from the Six Divisions), Tarsus and Sith, but now because of the increasing commercial and military status of Iconium, Gawain also upgraded it to a "county", and the county magistrate was naturally Giovanni, but Mirio Sephalong was separately divided into a "border district", which was under the command of Biller. In addition, now the entire Cappadocia outside Kayseri is owned by Gawain, and an independent "Great Border Fortress District" was also established, and the capital was transferred to Kayseri, which is an important place for the border army, salt production, animal husbandry and horse administration, so Gawain set up two supreme governors here, namely the "General" Walter. Sanzabal (army) and "herdsman" Ryanstein (civil administration), which is not found in other frontier districts - in the Vanka frontier district, it is the brigade general Branas; As for the Cilician Gate, Gawain never included it in the county for the sake of respecting the two Genat lords, Monomachus and Orsen, although it was no longer a border area.
In this case, there are now four counties of Tarsus, and four of the border districts - that is, the Kayseri region, and the neighborhoods of Ciliciamen, Milio Sepharon, and Vanka, and the county army has as many as nine thousand five hundred (three thousand five hundred in Seleucia, two thousand five hundred in Tarsus, two thousand in Ikonium, and one thousand five hundred in the city of Sith), and six thousand in the border army (three thousand in the region of Kayseri, many of them Oghuz Turks; The remaining three side plug districts each have about 1,000 or so)
Finally, Gawain also had four direct special forces and a palace guard, three of which were cavalry corps, the mounted cavalry regiment (now all concentrated in the Tarsus garrison) with 300 men, the red hand cavalry with 1,200 men, the Oghuz cavalry with 900 cavalry soldiers, and the large detachment of firethrowers with 1,800 men. The palace forbidden army was two detachments, the Farov detachment and the Milutin detachment, with a scale of three hundred people.
In addition, the more than 4,000 Armenian soldiers captured after the destruction of the Ruben kingdom (about 1,000 of whom have been integrated into the flamethrowers) were also scattered into three brigades to serve as "logistics troops" - so that the total military strength of the state of Tarsus was close to 40,000 men.
Gawain once repeatedly said to Anna that even if the most effective "Songun system" and "integration of farming, warfare and business" are adopted, the red line of twelve people supporting a soldier or official cannot be crossed, otherwise it will collapse.
Now the population under Gao Wen's command is 1.1 million people, so the burden of military service is still within the theoretical range (900,000 people in Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period supported an army of about 100,000).
"Now the total number of troops is enough to fight against the periphery, but the strong enemy is still around, and the effectiveness of the army must be brought into play, so I want to implement the 'lean plan' of the Tarsus Guardian Army." Gawain held the large seal and said to Firactos, who was sitting in front of him. (To be continued.) )
