Gawain stretched out his hand and spared everyone's lives, but it was also conditional, "The Oghuz, the Kurds, the Saracens, and the Persians had to face three choices—expulsion, migration, and proselytism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is already a very generous condition, the so-called expulsion is that you go, go to Armenia, go to Erzurum, next time you can fight with my Gawain's military horses, and defend your faith, but here the fields and property are left for me; And the destination of the migration, Gawain also chose, all of them were Sith County, and went to work as a craftsman in the pit with thousands of captives.

At this time, there was a great cry in the square, and some Crescentists pleaded that women, young men, and old men were not up to the conditions of migration, or of the sweltering heat of the iron pits, and that the Lord Guarantor should make proper and loving arrangements.

Gawain nodded, and said in a compassionate tone, "I have also considered this for a long time, and your suggestion is sincere. ”

Then the plan proposed by the great patron was to unite those who did not want to migrate into the "armed regiment" of Meritene and to stay on the Comachès to dig a canal to connect with the Sanus, so that Meritane, Tranzak, Vanka and Tarsus could be connected, and a network of transportation, grain and, most importantly, minerals would be shared.

However, the appearance of this canal would require at least thirty gua miles to be excavated, but Gawain and Anna had already agreed in advance, "Tell them (referring to the Crescentists) to dig it first, and then send engineers to sum up the gains and losses, learn valuable experience, and then dig other more important canal ditches in the counties of Tarsus and Sith." ”

What a cruel servitude!

So when Gawain spoke, there was a dead silence in the square, and the indigenous Romans and Armenians who were also kneeling looked at each other with obvious schadenfreude, while the Crescentists were in pain, they did not expect that they would be reduced to slaves.

So there is only one option left, and that is to convert.

This conversion is also very interesting, because it is not aimed at the Orthodox Church, because the other side lacks the courage and ability to absorb the new converts, but directly under Gawain's Reformation Church. As long as you receive a new baptism, accept the regulations and regulations of the New Church, such as "sin to the church, sin to Caesar" (meaning that your own sins are handed over to the religion, and your sins have always been punished by Caesar, simply put, the separation of church and state), "self-reliance, labor and redemption", etc., and the process is completed.

After becoming a member of the New Church, you can keep your land and family property, and you can continue to maintain the guild organization in the city, but the tax is heavier, because for twenty years you will have a label of "newcomer" (Christians who join this organization do not have to bear it), and you must pay an additional tax to the headquarters of Bari City on the Adriatic side of the Adriatic Sea on an annual basis, that is, the "new tax", otherwise you will be expelled immediately, and your property and rights will lose all protection.

Eventually, when the Great Patron Surrounded by Swords and Bows and arrows proposed the "Three Choices", he threatened the Crescent Cultists in the square.

The results came quickly, and the 11,000 Crescentists inside and outside the city were cut off from the idea of being redeemed, because Anna Caesar's edict had long stipulated, "There is no prisoner of war in our country, and therefore no such thing as redemption." "Almost none of this group were willing to move to the city of Trangzak, and the rest of the 3,000 chose to expel themselves, more than 2,000 chose to convert, and the rest were incorporated into armed regiments and dug canals.

Of course, it is the men who make the choice, and behind them are family members of up to 60,000 to 100,000 people.

Of the 3,000 who left, Gawain didn't let their families go, "Tian Chuan stayed, his wife and children also left, and you can take the old man away." ”

Gawain, who had been incorporated into the armed group, ordered the transfer of the land and the concentration of the land with their families in the area between the Komahes and Sanus rivers to facilitate management and work.

Most of the converts were the wealthy Crescent Sect, who became traitors in order to keep their family property. So the empathetic lord and guarantor also deliberately took care of their embarrassment, "Your self-reform tax does not have to travel through mountains and rivers to pay it to the city of Bari, and pay it on the spot to the treasury of the newly established Meritene Frontier District to support the border people's army, so that you can ensure your own safety, right?" After all, there are too many people who want to harm you, and I, as your guarantor, must protect your net worth. ”

This measure was set up by Gawain very reasonably, and compared to the policy of self-government of the autonomous region of Iconium, which was automatically subjugated and submitted, he entrusted a considerable part of the burden of military service to the "new converts" in Melitane, and at the same time drove them and the lower armed groups to be suspicious and spy on each other, which really saved a lot of effort.

Gawain even said to the confidential officer Firaktos that in the future, such a policy would be adopted in Erzurum, Greater Armenia and other places. He also directly announced that the "Three Choices" of Meritene would be written into the statute of the state, and that it would be at the level of the Maharaja's Edict.

In addition, in order to continue to encircle the Oghuz Turks of Ikonium, most of whom were formerly subjects of Giliki, who were now incorporated into the Oghuz cavalry, and the herdsmen of Cappadocia as the backbone of the horse, Gawain also declared in the Edict of the Great Army that "the twenty-four families of Iconium are the true Oghuz people, with the joint certification of the great patron and the authority of the god Caesar, and of which the Giliki-Massoud line is the most honorable, and they enjoy the same power as the Roman subjects of Tarsus, Massoud enjoyed princely status and was hereditary. The true Oghuz could serve as military officers, courtiers, farms, pastures, workshops, and caravans, intermarry with other ethnic groups, enjoy religious power, maintain mosques (but not lassalamaries), and their descendants could learn the scriptures and hadiths of the court of Tarsus, translated into Greek (???? ）...... It was not faith but blood that the Patron and Caesar were king, and this stern distinction must be made...... So the rest of the region was conquered by the Turks. The Persians, who were never allowed to call themselves Oghuz anymore, were to be called Turkmen (the Turkmen said that I really had to beep the entire zoo of Mount Erzurum to get such an honor), and those who violated it were hanged or beheaded...... Once a child of the Oghuz family marries a Turkmen, the entire family will automatically be demoted to Turkmen status, and will leave the estates of Ikonium to settle on the frontier......"

In this way, Gawain regained the theory of blood, shattered and divided the "kingdom of faith" of the Crescent religion, "separated" the naturalized Turkic people of the former Sultanate of Roma from the rest of the region, and "separated" the "converts" from the ordinary believers in the rest of the region, so that they could contain each other.
