Chapter 12: The Callegos Party
But my best ally, Lord Bohemond of Antioch, kept writing and suggesting that he had now taken Homs, and that it was time for him to go north and join me in the slaughter of Marash. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as we all know, you are just a group of rebels and scum. Now that Meritene is in my hands, you will be left alone when I go south. Gawain touched his beard and said menacingly.
"Our country is ready to submit to you." The envoy continued to have no bottom line.
"But don't you want to serve the brothers and sisters of Taurus and Lolita, and restore the kingdom of Armenia?" Gawain scoffed.
"This brother and sister are in Vanka City, they are completely in the palm of your hand, who can think so much and find a non-existent banner to deceive people's hearts?" The envoy pushed it all out.
"Alright, I accept your surrender for the time being, and we won't meet each other during this year. But I also have two conditions to consult with you: one is to release Bill Leoni, the papal fidelity's agent of money, and the money may belong to you; The second is that I am about to bring about a marriage, and I hope that all of you will respect and pledge allegiance. β
"Please make the latter clear, Your Highness the Great Patron."
"I am ready to marry my adopted daughter, Alemania, to Torus, the little prince of Ruben. After that, I will support Armenia's plan for repatriation. β
"With all due respect, your adopted daughter seems to be a bit ......" The envoy knew that Gawain was doing this to completely control the future of the Armenian kingdom in his own hands, so he prevaricated with the origin of Alemania, "It's better to have your real daughter Helena ......"
Gawain's beard curled slightly, and he quickly stopped showing his city, his pale blue eyes slid slightly, "You feel embarrassed, and I feel embarrassed, because Helena has promised Jelvey, the heir of the Abernard Kingdom, who is also my godson. Well, when my second daughter is born, I'll marry her to Taurus. β
"In that case, Taurus will be the object of all our Ani allegiance." The envoy said with a smile on his face.
When they walked out of the hall, they whispered as they left, "We must be patient for a while, and when the right opportunity comes, we will truly expel all foreign enemies and restore our ancient nation without pretense." As for what Taurus, see what the hell he is. β
In the hall, the confidential officer curiously asked Gawain, who was in his seat, "Do you really need Torus?" β
As a result, the great patron laughed, "O Firactos, I am just letting the wind out now, to show that I am a generous person who is willing to support the restoration of Armenia, which will be more conducive to our invitation to the hearts of the people of this plateau." As for Taurus, I will send a few beautiful Adigai women over in two years, and **** will accompany him every night, so that it will be difficult for him to even get out of bed in three years. But Lolita is something I want to keep an eye on, and I would love to marry her to my son Coleadios in the future, after all, there is not much difference in age......"
To put it bluntly, as soon as Gawain's plan is realized, then Armenia will also achieve a "reproductive revolution", completely chained to a stake in his yard.
Sure enough, not long after, the rumor that Gawain was "very concerned about the demands of the Armenians" spread throughout the plateau, and then the great guarantor continued to promote several Armenian nobles to important positions in the border area, changing the previous policy of massacring the old nobles in the Vanka region, so many Armenians around Melitene volunteered to join the border army like rain.
Eventually, Gawain even found an Armenian nobleman named Manville and made him a herdsman in the Melitene Frontier District, and instructed the Orson family to marry him. Hertomis married his niece, the daughter of his brother Haarlem, to Manville's son, and Orson was then named an "Armenian", and then, unknowingly, became a general in Melitene (Orson had always said that he was a standard Roman, and this flag stood up) - Gawain promised that Lamprun Castle would still belong to Orson and gave his cousin Haarlem the important town of Klesburg in eastern Melitane.
"The Armenian dynasty had always been a formidable barrier and the most loyal ally of the Roman Empire, and it was a powerful presence with an army of 50,000 people. However, a hundred years ago, due to the wrong policies of the empire, this man-made wall unfortunately collapsed, and then there was a huge wave of invasion and migration of the Turks. In the past, most of the steppe barbarians, if they wanted to step into the territory of the empire, there were only two roads, one was the Steki Road (the southern Russian steppe), and the other was the Derbent Iron Gate Pass (a fortress port on the west coast of the Caspian Sea), but these two were too deep, and the worst case was that the offense and defense were stalemate, so that the empire was able to maintain the coefficient for a hundred years. But since the loss of the Armenian barrier, all the barbarians from the Persian plateau can easily invade the heart of Anatolia, wantonly gnaw at the internal organs of the empire, and the lessons are vivid, and then I will do my best to review the policy towards the Armenian kingdom, restore the original situation, and the prosperity and strength of Armenia, and continue to breathe and share the fate of the Roman Empire, as an unbreakable alliance. In the palace of Melitane, Gawain sat in front of many of the subjugated Armenian nobles, talking earnestly about the gains and losses of the previous generations.
But the subtext is arrogant, Gawain has clearly seen himself as the spokesman of the "Roman Empire", and my national policy is the policy of the future empire, to the point of undisguised it.
After the meeting was dismissed, a plan for the formation of an army in the region of Melitene "to quickly form forty hundred-man detachments of frontier people, including ten cavalry hundred-man regiments", was also transcribed by the confidential officer on "Seleucian paper" and distributed to the new converts and the Armenian nobility.
In the late spring, when Inspector Gedier's 10,000 laborers (mostly armed Crescentists) began digging the canal between Comachus and Sanus in the northeast corner of MΓ©litane, it was also the time when Cabeamia and 20,000 Paulicians arrived in the "land of the old land" - a large number of supplies were also in place at the estuary station, and after the Gawain army, which had been resting for half a month in Meritane, could begin a great offensive against the Sivas Plateau.
When the Archon of the Golden Hand carefully braided his hair and walked into the palace hall with joy, he found that Gawain was furious, "Raymond of Lauridisia, how dare he send his wild knights to plunder our farms and populations in the western district of Iconium? β
"It is said that it is the knights of the Count of Laudisia, but in fact they are all the former defeated soldiers of Callegos (more than 800 private soldiers of the Callegos family who were previously released by Gawain in Alarmanburg) that were taken in by Raymond, forming a group of wild bandits, calling themselves the 'Callegos Party', constantly breaking into our border areas and plundering people and livestock." Confidential Officer Firactos handed in the list, "The losses there have been a lot lately. (To be continued.) )
