It is no wonder that in later generations, the imams and imams of the madrasas who submitted to the western territory of the "Emperor Song Empire" in the Khorasan region gritted their teeth and wrote countless articles, viciously cursing Gawain as a "demon with poisonous snakes on his genitals" and "defiling the entire kingdom of the prophets".

More than a hundred years later, "In the River. The Kingdom of Khorasan, the Republic of Sylvan and the Grand Duchy of Armenia depended on their respective masters, and used all kinds of long-barreled cannons, rocket carts, and arquebuses that surpassed the original era on the entire Persian plateau, and fought fiercely.

"Also, I am very ...... to the Holy Sister No, it was your Golden Hand Archon's promise that was fulfilled this spring, and I have not failed any of you. At this moment, Gawain, who was standing at the head of the city of Mélitane, whispered to Philaktos, "At once, the more than 25,000 Paulicians who had settled in the valley of the Mut River are allowed to move to the western valley of Mélitane, and she will be appointed to restore the 'Paulician Republic,' and all the believers will enjoy the same treatment as ordinary subjects, plus the status of self-government exempt from tribute, and the status of a satellite state of Tarsus, as long as I am provided with military service for one-fiftieth of the total population." ”

"Yes, all of us believers are willing to go to the trouble for the great lord's patron." Philaktos stooped down excitedly and said that although he was now a confidential official in the kingdom of Tarsus, the Paulicians were very strong in their faith - now in the valley of the Mut River, there were many Paulians who sent believers to convert to the Confession, and many of the people who knew how to farm and craft were scattered throughout the workshops.

"Yes, you and some of the elders are to assist the Archon of the Golden Hand, and if the territory is further expanded in the future, I will give you the land around the River Teleboas (the Karasu River, between Sivas and Erzurum)." Gawain patted the key officer's shoulder very broadly and offered a better price.

Once the Paulineans got hold of the valley of Teleboas, it was a true revival of the ancient Tevris Republic!

When the fast horse galloped and brought the good news to the court of Tarsus, several handmaidens were erecting Zeno chessboards, Anna was smiling and competing with Madame Goethehilde, and now that the spring cold had passed, Goetheheard had come to the court to be a guest for a full month.

"I didn't expect you to finally license this republic." Goethehild pursed his lips and smiled at chess.

"Sister, I am the Caesar of the country after all, and some things should not be so stingy. It was not unreasonable for these Paulineites to fill the border on the side of the city of Meritane. Anna also smiled incomprehensibly, "What's more, the female fox will owe me a favor, now the situation in the Meritene frontier is still very complicated, and many other monophytes are still ready to move, and soon after Kabeamia takes the throne, I will ask the barbarians to unite with the Paulians to wage a bloody war on the border, and use Kabeamia's hand to eliminate other heretics, such as the Kiposa cult." ”

Anna's Kiposa, in fact, was the most radical of the Paulicianist heretics, and after the suppression of the Republic of Tevris in the ninth century, they retreated into the mountains of Armenia, still preaching monophysism, and when the Eastern Romans (Byzantium) suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Manchikt, they attacked the imperial garrison with the Armenian bandits, and later joined the Seljuk tent, and now joined the Jihad wave of Great Khorasan,* near Melitane.

"Anna, my sister, you're getting more and more iron-willed. So Gawain will only like you more and more, right? ”

"Sister, don't compliment me, I do this in the hope that in the future, the female fox with brown skin and black jewel-like eyes will stay away from Gao Wen."

At this moment, the curtain of the door outside was lifted, and Wen Ruominna, the sleeping officer, led the golden-handed consul with burning eyes into the inner room.

Anna's original face immediately brightened, and her voice was sweet, "Sister Kabeamia, I am the first to pass on the good news from the front. With that, she stood up from the chessboard, "How?" Originally, Gawain only said that he would give you a territory northeast of Melitane, but I said that how is that enough, and the future area of the Teleboas River will also be yours. ”

"Thank you Caesar for your generosity! In fact, it is your name that true believers swear allegiance to every day. The Archon of the Golden Hand obviously knew that the other party was asking for credit, but this was not her time for arrogance.

Over there, Goethehild didn't look away and laughed secretly, but Anna was serious, "In the future...... I am also prepared to return Fikaia to you...... But you have to promise me that you will use the road to Hungary and Italy to spread your teachings. ”

Anna's attempt was obviously disgusting, that is, after the pacification of the Paulicians, she would let them follow the sea and land routes to disturb the world of the West, and she always had the blood of the Commnenians in her veins.

"No problem at all." With that, the excited consul was about to resign, and she was eager to go to eastern Anatolia and rebuild the ancient republic.

Unexpectedly, Anna actually gave her a parting gift in front of everyone, a beautiful ivory box.

When the female fox opened it, it was full of thin sheep intestines that had been smoked lightly.

"When you get there, the war with the Kiposa sect will probably last a little longer, so you have to take care of the health of the Great Lord. First, don't be too industrious, and second, don't let him have extra children to worry about. Anna said with a smile.

The implicit meaning is, "You female fox don't squeeze Gawain's body dry, besides, pay attention to protective measures, I don't suspect that the reason for you is that you don't have Gawain's offspring." ”

"Yes, I wish Caesar a healthy baby boy in the coming year, and he will lead us in the future!" The Archon of the Golden Hand immediately complimented him with a very good compliment, and then departed.

Just as Kabeamia returned to the valley of the Mut River and began to actively mobilize the faithful to move to the "true place of destiny", Gawain received the envoy from Marash in the city of Meritene and threw the sword of phosphorus and fire on the table in front of him, with a loud bang, which frightened everyone in the envoy to tremble, "My soldiers are braver, more disciplined, and more loyal than yours. Now that I have no difficulty occupying this great fortress of antiquity, countless lands and riches are opening their doors to me, but now my sword is wandering, where is the next step? It needs a hint from an enemy or a friend, and now it's your turn to make a choice. ”

"Please stab your West!" The leading envoy replied shamelessly, "Or Trabzon, or Erzurum, take it as you like." (To be continued~^~)
