"Seleucia can accommodate you." After learning about the situation of this group of Syrians, Gawain on the high chair spoke clearly and loudly, "The prince of Armenia betrayed you, Constantinople has no ability to protect you, and the Frankish and Norman pilgrims in the West will not pay attention to you, but I am different from Gawain, I already know from the mouths of the golden hand consuls around me that the bravery in the blood of your ancestors who migrated to Anatolia has always been linked to the blood of the Roman Empire and is the pillar of the entire imperial army; And you who remain here, suffering from long and painful years, have had to pay heavy taxes to the Saracens or Seljuks in order to maintain their pure faith, and your wives and sons and daughters have suffered their oppression****, but you have been excellent engineers, craftsmen, horticulturists, and shepherds for generations, and Seleucia needs you. With that, Gawain stood up and walked slowly in front of Gregor, "Gregor, entrust me with all your powers, and preach for me here - as long as the city of Antioch is captured, I want all Syrians to live in peace and contentment, and when the time comes, you will no longer be despised by the rulers, and you will all have a common name." ”

When Gregor looked up in shock and excitement at these words, tears blurred his eyes, and the shadow of the body of the tall Grand Duke was overshadowed in front of him, and his long fingers gently wiped away his tears, and then he gave the "common name" - "Romans." ”

"I am willing to mobilize all Syrians, no, authentic Roman subjects, to join the army of the Grand Duke. Feed the horses and mules and build a camp. Spy on it! and did his best to rescue His Excellency the Patriarch of Antioch from the clutches of Aggie. Gregor wept silently. Kissing Gawain's boots.

"Good." Gawain helped the other party up, "I will arrange things as soon as possible, and if the Syrians are not happy in this place in the future, they can freely move to Seleucia and West Cilicia, and enjoy a life of peace and contentment, so that you do not have to feel inferior everywhere, and you can proudly declare yourself as Roman citizens of the universal empire." ”

This verbal promise once the future comes true. That also means that Gawain wants to absorb a large number of skilled immigrants from Syria to strengthen his military, scientific and technological and cultural strength.

"Gawain, your country is indeed moving towards true glory step by step under the blueprint planned by yourself." In the middle of the night, Kabeamia in the scarlet tent was thoughtful, half emotional and half admired, she felt that compared with the other party, her wrist was still much weaker and inferior.

When I used to be at Iron Gate Fort. She still felt that Gawain's set of things was completely wishful thinking, but now she really saw that he and the "tall buildings" of his country were slowly but resolutely, rising from the ground.

"It's very important to absorb and accommodate this group of people. First of all, they have a sense of identity with Anatolia; Secondly, they have lived under oppression and humiliation for hundreds of years, and most of them will be grateful to the leaders who are willing to treat them equally. The last Holy Sister. As you know, Antioch, Syria was the most prosperous city in ancient times. It is said that at its peak, it had a population of almost one million. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a brilliant person. ”

Hearing Gawain's words of praise, Kabeamia was a little unhappy that she was ignored and contemptuous, so she touched the ends of her hair, "It's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?" What she means is that the backbone of your kingdom is the Greeks of Cilicia, the Germans who migrate, and us Paulicians.

But Gawain explained it in a serious way, "The inhabitants of Anatolia, apart from cultivating agricultural land and grazing, are not complimented by their technical abilities, but the increase in agricultural power is inseparable from the latter." The Levant, where Syria is located, has long been an area of commerce, workshops, and cities, such as blacksmithing, glassmaking, sugar planting, fabric making, and gardening, all of which are experts at it, but the current pilgrim lords are not aware of the charm of this lowly and lowly group of 'Syrian Greeks'. But Holy Sister, do you know? In the past, the Roman Empire and the Crescent Cult fought for Syria, and the then Emperor Heraclius was defeated, and he could only cry out in his eyes, shouting 'Farewell Syria, my great country' to talk about masturbation, and the Crescent Cult also occupied Syria and began to rise rapidly towards the pattern of the Great Empire. We have to seize the opportunity, the land is not the most precious, the talent is. In the future, Godfrey, Raymond, and Bohemond will occupy this place, and they will only attract Lorraine, Provençals, Gasdines, and Apulians from their homeland in large numbers, and these colonies will continue to enslave the indigenous Greek inhabitants of Syria as human beings, and as long as these Greeks, even if only a third or even a quarter, can be attracted to our country by this, then Cilicia and Seleucia will become the bases that support our transformation into an empire. ”

At this time, Kabeamia breathed a long sigh of relief and hugged Gawain from behind, "You are so ambitious now, can you reveal the specific details to me, I think I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't figure you out more and more." ”

"Holy sister, this pilgrim expedition cannot be said not to have fought for the faith, but what about when Jerusalem was captured? Those people, whether they are Raymond or Bohemond, may be competent and qualified as fierce knight lords, but they are not even a finger of mine when it comes to governing the country and politics. Under the candlelight, Gawain shook the hand that the Holy Sister had embraced, and his proud words surprised Kabeamia.

But Gawain went on - it is strange that of the three women, Gawain liked to play with Ingrena, and for Anna there was some feeling of lingering and strife, but for the heretical consuless, although there had been hatred and hostility before, if Gawain had any strategic ideas, he still preferred to share them with Kabeamia - "After the fall of Jerusalem, first of all, this group of people will fall out with the emperor of Constantinople, because according to the agreement, They were to hand over to Komnenos all the keys to the city along the way; Then they will fight among themselves, weakening each other's strength; Then, the Crescents everywhere will move towards a powerful union, breaking free from the scattered sand, gathering like frightened beasts, biting and attacking the nascent nation of pilgrims. Of course, the most important thing is that after this holy crusade, the real power, the demonic power, will rise in this sea and land, and it will dominate for the next hundred years, no, three hundred years or even five hundred years. ”

"Does it mean your country?" Cabeamia was amazed and curious. (To be continued.) )
