However, Gawain did not notice the petty grievances of General Orson at all, and he rode directly with the Holy Sister to the hillside where the fortress was guarded: in the acrid smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the Defender Brigade who had just captured this place rested on the spot, and some pulled out a row of prisoners and executed them on the spot.

It turned out that a disgruntled Armenian armed group of about 50 people, unwilling to accept the forced resettlement of their hometowns, came here in an attempt to occupy the mountains and continue to live a lawless life of bandits, only to be purged and the mountain fort was captured and the leaders of all the people were executed on the spot.

"That's how this stubborn character should be, General Orson. You will later govern the great 'Melitane. Sebastian has to pull one faction to fight another, and the means must be iron-blooded. Completely ban such armed bandits, so that everyone can farm and raise livestock with peace of mind. Kovin pointed to the heads of the rows of the first evil men who had been hung on the cross in front of the mountain fort, and said to Orson, Haarlem, and Manville, "Also, the purge operation should pay more attention to the exploits of the Ani soldiers, and do not suppress and ignore them, you must know that the solution to the Armenian problem will always depend on Armenia itself." Moreover, in the future, I will send the Taurus brothers and sisters back to Greater Armenia for restoration. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone agreed, and they realized Gawain's painstaking policy of "using Asia to make Asia".

"And this mountain fort was dismantled on the same day, and all the bricks and timber that were removed were distributed to the local people to build farms and villages. Castles and fortresses like this will be left on the plateau from Sebastian to Melitene in the future, and after the careful calculation of my confidential officer, only the most important ones will be left, each of which will garrison two hundred infantry units of the People's Army, which will echo each other with the two core cities, and form a group of fortresses to pacify the local area and defend the areas of Erzurum and Lake Van . After that, any nobleman was forbidden to build a fortress privately, and the offender was beheaded and confiscated from his family. Just now, he praised the beautiful scenery of the mountain fort, and then issued a "death sentence" for this building.

When the order was given, the local population and the settled Paulineans were in high spirits, and they climbed the hillside in groups with tools and began to dismantle the hillfort.

In the distance, the moors of the Komahes River were covered with tents of the "Armed Crescentists", who were urged every day to dig a channel to the Sanus.

In the north, nearly 30,000 Paulicians also began to cultivate the fields, and the smoke of the dense cooking continued to rise, "More immigrants will soon come here, and in order to prevent the believers from starving this winter, I have ordered the distribution of the grain from the original granary of Fort Mut, and you can receive the reserve grain from the estuary military station for the winter." ”

"Within three years, the Paulineites were to build twelve well-developed small military towns and bazaars, connecting the secondary land and water trade routes to Iconium, Tarsus, and the Yukchen Sea. Grain, herds, and timber will flourish, and all kinds of handicrafts will emerge, and the rich plateau that was destroyed in the first place will be revived by Kabeamia. Holding the reins in his golden hand, he looked at Kabeamiya in the distance, and also ambitiously planned a blueprint for the future.

"Work hard here, Holy Sister." Gawain turned his head with a hint of sadness.

And after Kabeamiya finished expressing her pride, she stared at Gawain and couldn't help but shed tears, "Maybe after this time, we won't see each other for a long time." ”

"No, you still have military service and taxes to be responsible for Tarsus! In addition, in the future, if we continue to attack to the east or infiltrate to the west, the area where our believers are located will still be a necessary bridgehead. Gao Wen said with relief.

It wasn't until they returned to the tent in the camp down the hill that Gawain saw the letter from Antioch.

After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Gawain asked the Holy Sister and Firactos to write and replied to Bohemond in more detail for himself:

"Respect the amiable Lord of Antioch

First of all, I must say that I do not approve of your rush to attack Marash.

Because of the fickleness of the Ani, they were anxious to express their willingness to submit to me after I had captured Meritane, and I had promised them a one-year period of resignation and peace, at which point it would be immoral to declare war again.

Of course, if you think that the destruction of Marash is the first priority, then I can secretly transfer the regular troops of the Gimagis Brigade to you at your disposal. But I still have some tactical advice for you, and that is not to play from Samosata City for two reasons. In terms of approaches, most of them are rugged mountainous terrain, and the Arni are also defended by strong fortresses such as Tubersena, which makes it difficult for large armies to deploy, and even more difficult to achieve rapid results; Second, in terms of the return route, the Azazidze corridor between Samosata and Antioch is still under the control of the Turks, and although Ridwan submits to you, there is a strong and unstable movement, and if he slides from mild to extreme, cutting off your retreat and food route, then there is a danger of destruction.

Therefore I advise you, Bohemond, to store up the grain in the two ports of Latakia and San Simeon, while the army follows the Syrian gate to the city of Kastabala, which will be used as a base for attacking Marash. In this way, the grain was transported by sea to the Gulf of Issus, and the army was backed by the area occupied by Baldwin and I, and the way to win all battles was to win every battle. ”

After writing the letter, Kabeamia suddenly laughed as she read it.

Gawain inquired why, and the Holy Sister replied, "You are all right, but I don't think Bohemond will take any of them, and he will certainly go to Samosata, for it is a shortcut to Marash for him, and it precludes us from taking the merit." ”

"After all, you've worked with him, and you know his temperament." Gawain brought up the old matter again, "Actually, I also reminded him in the basic moral sense that it was his freedom and destiny whether Bohemond accepted it or not. I will have the Guardian Brigade of Branath return to Vanka in a month's time, and if Bohemond has anything, he can be dealt with from the west. ”

Gawain then wrote another letter to Jubail, addressed to Gregor:

"Now there are 4,200 regular soldiers in the brigade, and whether the more than 2,000 men who were laid off during the reorganization in advance should be enriched into the border people's army system, and if so, the local recruits of the border people should be strengthened, and the number of them should be increased to 3,000 to hold the two castles of Jubail and Beirut;

At once you go to reinforce Antioch, you must bring all the vassals with you, this battle may not be as easy as Bohemond thought, the Ani of Marash will defend fiercely, and Ridwan will also waver, and the march needs to be very cautious;

Now there are about 30,000 naturalized people in the castle you are based, and the food is not yet self-sufficient, so I will urgently bring a batch by sea, and the members of the Brotherhood and the Brotherhood will not be brought with me when I go on the expedition, so as to stabilize the situation in the locality, for the Dukaq in Damascus may also be stupid;

I will go to the city of Castabara, at the same time as Bohemond is out, to monitor the situation with Baldwin, and I will respond to you quickly and fully if there is any change. (To be continued~^~)
