Eagle Byzantium

When Gawain set out, he specially sent another letter to the Holy Sister in the inner city of Melite:

"Dear Kabeamiya, long time no see.

Pauline secret layman Stephen Gawain greets you in the true name of God.

Now I am leading an army and marching through the high mountains of Georgia. I can't help but feel more and more fear and suffering. Seeing the white snow in the black mountains here, I miss you even more. It's hard for you to run the synagogue and wool weaving industry in Melitene, but I would like to ask you to go to Tbilisi anyway to discuss important matters. "

After Gawain sent the letter, he was in a wide valley northeast of Tbilisi and was about to reach the Gable Castle on the border. The envoy of Shirvan Pasha came from this castle to ask for an audience. .

The Kingdom of Shirvan Pasha is not the same country as the Kingdom of Shirvan, which is now under the wings of Gawain.

The Kingdom of Shirfan is a Kurdish emirate, that is, the "Rawadi Dynasty" (the chief is Ahmadi bin Ibrahim bin Waha Sultan Rawadi Kuadi). It is "Southern Shirfan", and its core castles are the famous Taulis (Tabriz) and Margai;

The Shirvan Pasha Kingdom occupies "Northern Shirvan". The core castles are Ganj, Gebuli, and Baku. Of course, there is also the Tiemenguan Fortress further north. It is a highly Persianized Pasha. (i.e. Shah) Emirate, after the Seljuk Turks invaded here, the 16th generation Pasha Falibutz used clever diplomatic methods to negotiate in various countries. He survived through mediation with Fang Qiang. He even deceived and squeezed out a slave soldier sent by Malik Shah Khan to take over. However, Falibuzi died eight years ago, and his successor was also The current Shirvan Pasha, whose name is Manuchisor, is a weak and mediocre man. He hides in the palace in Baku all day long and does not care about worldly affairs.

So when Gawain's army arrived at the border, the only thing Manuchisor Pasha could do was to send an envoy to request Gawain:

Our country is willing to pay you 60,000 gold dinars (his father Faribuz once paid 40,000 gold coins to the Isfahan court in order to ask the other party not to send Turkic mercenaries to attack him), and cede the border sand. Chur Castle, and is willing to surrender to you.

Gawain received the envoy and after asking a few questions, he realized that Manuchisor was completely incompetent, so he quietly accepted the peace proposal and asked Shirvan Pasha to provide a thousand servants. Support his subsequent military activities.

"In a few years, when Diognis and his brigade have established a foothold in Tbilisi, it will take at least five years for him to destroy this weak Pasha country and close the crucial iron gate. We have the corridor in our hands. We have to hurry up, it will be difficult if a middle-class king replaces Manuchisor." Then, Gawain secretly said this to the sleeping officer and the confidential officer.

In mid-September, after Gawain negotiated peace with Pasha Manuchisor of Shirvan, he gathered all the teams in Tbilisi, including the Philomelon brigade and the Philomelon brigade that had just conquered Trabzon. Brigade of Bellerophon.

Then Gawain officially ordered that the Bellerophon Brigade be stationed in the two castles of Tbilisi and Shakur, and granted Diognis a new soldier list, "Allow you to expand the brigade to six From 1,000 to 8,000 men, three detachments will be maintained at any time to accompany me on my expedition."

As for the entire northern part of Greater Armenia that he had just conquered, Gawain entrusted it to the Yevanduni Brigade for garrison.

In the Trabzon region, Gawain granted the local chamber of commerce a certain degree of autonomy and sent a letter to the city of Tarsus, requesting Anna to quickly dispatch members of the New Society and the Jinshu Brotherhood to take over the place as soon as possible.

After arranging everything, Gawain led the Red Hand Brigade, the Guardian Brigade, the Gemegis Brigade, the Philomelon Brigade and all the auxiliary cavalry, artillery and engineering teams, left the land of Georgia and went south through Sale Fanhei Lake followed the ancient trade route and arrived at the famous trading city of Taulis, the capital of the vassal prince Ahmadi.

Ahmadi was so frightened that he not only provided camps, pastures and supplies for Gawain's army, but also provided an army of servants - and Gawain also generously donated 60,000 gold coins obtained from the previous diplomatic peace talks to Ai Hamadi, as a reward for his service in supplying the army.

When the Tarsus army arrived in Taulis in the autumn, the entire Great Khorasan and Persian region was in panic, especially the Isfahan court, which was in the midst of civil strife.

After the death of the Seljuk Sultan Sanjad at the hands of Assassin's assassins, his vacated throne became the coveted opponent of warlords from various factions, and there has been constant overt and covert fighting.

Ahmad Sanjad is actually the third son of Malik Shah Khan.

Malik Shah Khan, who once established the pinnacle territory of the Seljuk Empire, had six children, including the eldest son Bachyanuk, the second son Muhammad Thabo, the third son Ahmad Sanjad, the fourth son Daoud, The fifth son, Mahmoud, and the sixth son, Ahmed.

But only the last three sons can be regarded as the sons of Malik Shah Khan's first wife. Among them, the fourth son and the sixth son died when they were still young.

Therefore, after the death of Malik Shah Khan one year before Gawain's time travel (i.e. 1092), the fifth son Mahmud was the first to succeed the Great Sultan (he was only four years old when he took the throne, and was regent by his mother, the Sudanese Kotun), but he only ruled He died suddenly within two years (his mother also died suddenly two months after his death) - and then the great Seljuq Empire fell apart. The struggle for the throne of the Great Sultan began among Malik Shah Khan's three remaining concubine sons and his younger brother.

The eldest son Bacyanuk was sealed in Boru Jerde (now a city in western Iran).

The second son, Muhammad Tabo, was appointed in Baghdad (mainly to monitor the Caliph, the Caliph wanted to rebel or something).

As for the third son, Sanjad, he was appointed in Merv, and later took control of the Isfahan court, and actually became the new Great Sultan.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

Malik Shah also had a younger brother named Tutushi, who originally ruled Syria and Damascus, and had killed Suleiman (the first Sultan of Rum, the father of Jiliki Arslan) who coveted this place. After his brother's death, he also claimed the throne of the Great Sultan, but was defeated and killed by Bachyanuk. After Tutushi's death, he left two sons: Ridwan Tutushi of Aleppo and Dukak Tutushi of Damascus. Now the two brothers have also claimed to be sultan.

Suleiman, the founder of the Rum Sultanate, was from the Kutumish family and was considered a cousin of Malik Shah. Later, they were irreconcilable.

Not to mention the atabegs, pashas and emirs who established separatist regimes in various places. The best among them was the Rum Sultanate, while Merik of Danishmond, Yaghi Siyan of Antioch and Kobha of Mosul were also relatively large.

Not long ago, Sanjad died inexplicably at the hands of the Assassin assassins (he had only daughters and no heirs). In addition to his long-standing hatred for the Ismaili sect in the Persian region, it is more likely that he was secretly instructed by his competitors.

This is the general list of the Seljuk royal family's bad debts.
