Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 10 Constance
The southwestern part of Asia Minor was in chaos, but when the spy who reported the news arrived at Antioch, Bohemond was drinking with his newlywed wife, Constance, and was in a very comfortable mood.
In the fortress, the weapons and supplies that Gawain had sent earlier were filled with baggage carts. The accountants of the principality stood beside them with account books and made careful calculations. Most of them were Saracens or Persians with mathematical knowledge, and their heads were colorful and particularly conspicuous.
"My husband, if you have the right opportunity, can you also achieve the same merits as the Varangian emperor?" Constance, wearing a veiled hat, smiled lightly. Her bra revealed two pink shoulders that Bohemond liked instantly. After so many years of fighting, he could finally enjoy the tenderness and joy of his young wife.
"No wonder Gawain is obsessed with that Greek princess." Bohemond now understood the meaning of this, and he boasted about himself to answer his wife, "My love, maybe the opportunity will come soon."
Constance took a sip of wine from Cyprus, her red lips were exposed, and her face was slightly hot. She looked a little drunk, and waved her hands as if to dispel the winged god of wine, "You mean, immediately follow Constantinople to the distant border river to fight against thousands of pagans or heretics to defend the world of Christ, my God!" After saying this, Constance clasped her hands together, looked up and imagined the heroic posture of the Christian warriors, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Um...haha." Bohemond laughed awkwardly twice, pinched his red beard, and didn't answer his wife's question.
After a while, William Granmenile stepped up the stairs, he saluted respectfully to the wife of the prince, and Constance also stood up politely in return.
Then Grandmenil put his ear close to the prince's ear and said, "Reliable news, the Eastern Buddhist monk named Jinghang has successfully persuaded Aleppo and Damascus to join us in the uprising."
Bohemond smiled sincerely this time, stroking his beard and his towering turban, "Oh..."
"Durak Tutushi of Damascus will intercept the troops sent by Baldwin halfway, while Aleppo will resist the enemies from Mosul and Marash."
"Very good, then our army will take the opportunity to block the Syrian Gate and block it with fortresses and artillery. Gawain only has some militia, and he himself is tied down by Crete. Even if he rushes If they can come to my aid, I can also defend and tie down a considerable part of his main force... Gawain will then have only two options left. One is to continue fighting with me, while the Great Fair King over there can easily break through the Oxus River and annihilate the empire that has surrendered to the Turks, then cross the Tigris River and join forces with me to beat Gawain back. Gawain will be powerless as long as he retreats to Anatolia, and his revived Greek Empire is doomed to be short-lived, and everything will return to the Manzikert disaster decades ago. Of course, Gawain has another option. He leaves part of his main force to tie down me, and then he takes the other brigades to the Oxus River. In that case, It's so pitiful. I will ask the Great Fair King to allow me to collect his body. Then Constantinople will be deserted by everyone. Sooner or later, I will become the real emperor, and Constance will become the real queen! "Bohemond said here, ambitious and hurried, "John of Crete is just the first, and I am the most fierce firework in the future. It will explode along the core of Antioch. Aleppo, Egypt, Damascus, and Jerusalem will have violent reactions, just like countless shells falling from the sky!" "And your highness, I have another good news for you. The Ghaznavid Khanate (now Afghanistan) The chieftain of Ghaznavid declared his allegiance to the Great Fair King, and now there is almost no obstacle for the other party to cross the Oxus River. Because the Seljuk Sultan asked the other party to destroy the dam and use water to block the Great Fair King's advance, but the Ghaznavid chieftain was unwilling to do so. He wanted to keep his farmland and town, so he announced his rebellion against the Seljuks. "
"Good!" Bohemond shouted happily, "Gawain, Gawain, I didn't expect that the person who can defeat you in the end is me, and I am also the one who seizes the final opportunity and moves forward. "
Over there, Constance stared at her excited husband with round gray eyes, not knowing what happened.
Bohemond paced back and forth, pinching his beard, and then stretched out his finger and whispered to Grandmenil, "There are 12,000 troops in the whole duchy. Four thousand will be sent to Richard to go to Tartus to block the possible enemies from Tripoli. The rest will be led by you to the several fortresses at the Syrian Gate to defend. I will stay in Antioch to continue recruiting troops, mainly recruiting Nestorians and Armenians from all over Syria and Lebanon to join the army. Then send a delegation to Tarsus to try to persuade John Oxhildr, the Patriarch of Antioch on Gawain's side, to rebel. Then send a secret envoy to the northern city of Ani to persuade Gawain to rebel. "Where is the moral flag?" "Flag, do you still need to ask me for a flag? Let's say that a natural disaster that truly punishes the world is about to sweep over, like a hurricane and meteorite that destroys the world. The Nestorians and the barbarians from the East have come back for the hatred of hundreds of years ago. They are God's whip to punish the hypocrites, and they will whip them hard until the whole world is plunged into a sea of blood! If I am also a member of the punisher group, send them all to hell, just like spitting. "Bohemond told Grandmenil not to hesitate, just go ahead and do it boldly.
At this moment, a sweaty messenger cavalry galloped down the fort, with the clatter of horse hooves. The masterminds below dispersed in a hurry and hid in the surrounding corridors. The messenger restrained the irritable mount, He raised his head and shouted to the balcony above, "The second batch of supplies and firearms from the Emperor of Constantinople has arrived at the port of Saint Simon by fleet."
Bohemond almost laughed out of his heart. Maybe Gawain's eyes would pop out of his eyes in anger when he found out that he was defrauding him of his hard-earned money with nothing, and then betraying him again?
"Ask Reynold to receive the supplies." The monarch walked on the balcony railing, exposed a hand under the shelter of the shed, and asked the messenger.
Looking at the figure riding through the door with the messenger, Bohemond's expression gradually cooled down, and his mind began to repeatedly speculate on the progress of the future situation, "When is the most appropriate and fatal time for the blade to stab?"
In the palace converted from an ancient bathhouse in Aleppo City, many well-equipped warriors poured out of the pillars and dark rooms. They formed a circle and drew out their sharp blades. At the center of all the sharp edges was a bare-headed monk.
"I'm sorry, after thinking about it, we still have to escort you to the Emperor of Constantinople for death." Ridwan held his beard with a finger wearing a turquoise ring and said to Jinghang who was smiling and clasping his hands.

Jinghang was very calm, "But your brother has agreed to the young monk's lobbying. If you hand the young monk over to Gao Wen, I am afraid that a connection will be formed, which will be detrimental to all of you."
