"What about the management of this group of Yantian households, their rights and interests?" Agnes couldn't help but start thinking about her words.

"It has been made clear that they belong to the military armed emigrants of the city of Caron, and are governed by the same as the legions, and are not allowed to leave the Salt Lake region without permission except for the benefits of tax exemption, and must likewise set up a sentry fort, and send overseers and jinats to keep an eye on them, and the officers of the general affairs I am prepared to hand over to Earl Rainstein, and to the Superintendent."

Then Agnes picked up the stationery and paper rolls, followed Anna as she walked back to her shoulder, tilted her head slightly, and continued to ask, "What about the sale of the salt produced?" ”

"This is not their business, this group of people is only responsible for cultivating the salt pans in February of the following year, and the sale of salt will be handled by me and the chamber of commerce directly under the jurisdiction of Gao Wen." Anna raised her butterfly sleeves embroidered with calyx gills, brushed her hair that hung down her forehead, and sat back on the cushion, "And to my father, don't use any of the terms I used to occupy Tarsus and South Cappadocia, but say that there is an army of knights who will automatically defend the Crown, mostly the former Count of Blois or Normandy, defending Christianity, protecting the Roman Emperor, to establish an independent fortress on the Cappadocian plateau - and ask my father to give this one." The spontaneous armed forces were paid and supplied with the corresponding salaries, and a document was sent to the Holy See in the city of Rome to support the crowned patriarch of the West. ”

The last words made Agnes, who possessed the record, laugh: the princess and Gawain had been impregnated for a long time, and after so many "unclean bodily fluid exchanges" (Agnes the little sunfish commented on this relationship), they were also completely infected with the insatiable and shameless greed of the lewd bear.

When the curtain was lowered, Anna sighed leisurely, "According to the plan in advance, Anna has done her best, and it depends on whether the big barbarian can hold up on the battlefield of Antioch - I will go to Adana City immediately to meet Sister Goethehilde." ”

"Is it the fleets of the various Italian city-states?"

Anna nodded, "Now according to the customs of the Frankish barbarian kingdom, or following the traditions of our empire, Sister Goetheheard and I belong to the Left-behind Regents. Earlier, the Turkic prince Kobuha raided the port of St. Simeon, and the group of Italian merchants simply lost their basic fighting spirit and marriage, and all of them took their ships to the ports of Issus like headless flies, and now I want them to unload their food, and then organize an armed fleet to retake the port of St. Simeon, and open up the supply lines for the pilgrims. The water power of the Turks is weak, and this is not difficult to do as long as there is a unified organizational leadership. ”

After speaking, Anna was full of ambition, looking at the top of the peak of Algieus, the white clouds fluttering, and the condensation was snow, "Great barbarian, I still have a hatred for you that I haven't calculated!" In return, you must complete your wedding ceremony with me in a splendid and elegant church, just as Sister Goethehild said earlier, only you and I are qualified to be lifelong rivals. ”

At this moment, in front of the field camp outside Antioch City, the clouds that Gawain saw were almost blood-colored.

Initially, according to the planning of Gedier, the director of the project appointed by Gawain, the laborers in the city brought by Gawain's department took two days to build the rammed earth wall of the main body of the camp and the corresponding guard tower, "There is no need to use the drawbridge facilities of the traditional castle, which is not much good for our city defense, and according to the design of my son and mother gate, we can not only hold the fortification, but also attack the enemy close to the wall." Gedier said confidently, but the soldiers of the "Triflank Brigade" stationed here (according to Gawain's plan, three thousand men and three hundred horses) hated the engineering director: for from the third day onwards, the Turks, aware of Gawain's premeditation, began to storm the newly built "Orontes Field Stronghold" under the command of Kobuha's general, Amasa, who was clearly unwilling to allow Gawain to succeed.

"Gdtier, are you done?" Looking at the Turkic cavalry approaching like a dark cloud, Gawain, wearing a white cloak, personally sat on the newly completed gate tower, and asked Gedier who was busy up and down impatiently, while the other party was just sweating profusely, and kept stroking his greasy hair with his hands, "Don't rush me, honorable archduke, if you still want this fortress to protect against the attacks of the infidels!" ”

"But now the infidels are attacking, and according to you, this camp can't let my soldiers hide in it!" Gawain was a little anxious, because about 1,500 feet away from the city walls, there were Mosul cavalry in cloaks and helmets, carrying arrows and bow bags, holding sabers like snowflakes in the sky, and the sound of chanting, mixed with the sound of thousands of horses' hooves, shook the earth and rivers, and made Gawain's ass sit a little unsteadily.

But Gedier remained unmoved, perhaps he was humble and polite to Gawain until the project was presented to Gawain and approved by the Grand Duke, but once Gawain had promised his plan and put it into effect, he, like many people who studied science and engineering, fell into a mad "tyrant state" - in the construction of the project, he had to say nothing, even the Grand Duke could not interfere.

"Then send your infantry out to repel them, and force them to set up a stone shooter or ballista from a safe distance! This Orontes stronghold must be completed with the outer wall and the massive gate tower you're on before it can be of terrible use! "Now that the enemy is in trouble, all the servants, craftsmen, and laborers have come to the inside of this barracks, and bring more timber and stone from the city along the waterway of the inner moat of the moat, and build the gate tower." ”

The so-called inner moat, connected to the Orontes River on the right and the Falfa River at the rear, together with the bridges previously constructed by Gawain, became the transportation route for the entire "Orontes Camp", with many small boats carrying laborers and materials moving from one to the other, adding to the "core defense" of the central part of the barracks, which Gedtier called the "Gate Tower".

It was a sloping tower with a low height, facing outwards with walls of masonry and earth, made of a mixture of various materials, which made the whole camp smoke and mist like a cloud, but empty facing the inside, and laid with wooden planks, separated by three floors like a building, with four layers of fences and pheasant moats, one of which was bright and three dark: each floor was connected by stairs to accommodate three hundred elite soldiers to hold and shoot here.

But the gate tower had not yet been completed, and according to Gedier, the most crucial "breast-tie wall" on the periphery of the city wall had not yet been completed, and if this was done, "even if all 100,000 men of Kobha were to attack, they would be helpless." That's Gedier's confident statement. (To be continued.) )
