Eagle Byzantium

The "Gospel Sacrifice Real Estate" that Gawain wanted to sign with the soldiers was roughly like this. The military towns and castles directly occupied in Seleucia and Cilicia were used as the core, and the original Roman land without owners was included. Mbeyi (high lord), Ghazi (border warriors), Vivali (administrative officials in the Turkic regime, responsible for paperwork and taxation) and the Greek Ginat who died in battle (previously in the battle, many Greek military nobles came to fight for the Roma army )'s land property system There is no registration, and the brothers will measure and count all the land and tenants on it into the "Gospel Sacred Land Register". Then Gawain and Anna will issue a sealed document order to liberate the tenants and absorb the Germans who came here. blue shift (To put it bluntly, it means transferring personal dependence rights and transferring them to the direct jurisdiction of Gawain and Anna), and farming on the "sanctioned real estate" in Seleucia City, Zephyrim City and other places, which are directly controlled by the provisional government and the Brotherhood. Dispatch personnel for supervision and management.

The income generated from the sacred land will be shared by the Provisional Government of Seleucia, soldiers and farmers, which is the "right to share" mentioned in the contract: the farming farmers enjoy half of the income from the cultivated land, and then pay the remaining half to the "Saint" The provisional government then divided another quarter, and the soldiers another quarter.

However, "a quarter" is only a total figure. The contract promises that "according to the different equipment and arms of the soldiers, there will be a step-by-step difference in the fertility of the land and the share of output enjoyed by the soldiers." For example, the heavy cavalry will definitely higher, followed by ordinary cavalry and sword and shieldmen, followed by spearmen and sailors. As for archers and light cavalry, Gawain considered the moment when the war broke out and temporarily recruited and hired people from various places. After the battle, they could be disbanded, which could also save money. A lot of money. However, the rules and results of the subdivision cannot be confirmed until the Brotherhood has completed its investigation.

"Since you have set off to attack the city of Bari, many of the newly purchased armors, weapons or horses were provided by the general at my own expense. They must be separated from the original ones. The former need to report to Stella after allocating the sacred property. General Tigos pays the fee before he can continue to use it. Those who are unwilling to pay can be reduced from the first year's salary." There is such an inconspicuous line in the footnote of the contract. In short, Gawain is a profiteer who abides by the spirit of the contract, and he can't wait to get it. Extend this spirit to the entire army and the entire country.

When the soldiers expressed strong protest against this payment, Gao Wen, the "monkey farmer", took the opportunity to propose supplementary regulations for "every day and night", "It's okay not to do this. As long as I continue to serve for free until next year's property tax registration Day (Gao Wen innovated the registration day, The Byzantine Empire was September 1st, he directly mentioned January 1st and September 1st), this amount was written off, and the armaments are yours from now on. "The soldiers gathered around Bramson and Desi. Around Wusi, thousands of people were whispering and making noisy discussions. But Gawain was calm and composed, riding on the horse and stroking the smooth tip of the whip with his gloves, waiting.

Some weapons and equipment have never been replaced and they objected. But more people, especially the cavalry class, expressed that they wanted to listen to the General. "Anyway, it's only half a year. We will take a break and continue to fight for the General and the Princess."

"Very good!" Gawain raised his riding whip and expressed his appreciation to the soldiers, "I have already said that I will not treat anyone who follows me badly. You deserve all this. From now on, the farming can be left to the farmers, and you can Focus on signing the contract, stay in the barracks and fortress, practice weapons and tactics, and then use the accumulated profits to repay. In addition, I also announced an incentive measure, that is, every time I go to war, three-quarters of the spoils will be handed over, and the rest will be distributed independently; to the fleet that wins the naval battle. For sailors, just two-thirds is enough, and the rest is distributed independently.”

This is good, the soldiers soon started dancing like hozens, howling and asking when they can leave Seleucia and go on an expedition?

"Don't worry, the news from Baldwin hasn't come yet. Our brotherhood still needs to expand its manpower. In addition, you also have an urgent task, which is to use the Banda detachment as a unit to accompany the brotherhood to various towns and places. Register the real estate for the stipend, and station it in the camp to suppress it. If any local Jinat landowner dares to embezzle real estate, he will not hesitate to punish him with a fine. "

After the soldiers lined up to return to the camp, settled down, and eagerly prepared to sign the "sacrifice contract", Gawain returned to the hall of the Acropolis, where the herald had just delivered the news about Little Antioch. , “As you predicted, the Council of Cardinals with the Army had a serious incident after the delivery of your letter. There is serious internal strife, and Bohemond, Raymond and Ademar all have their own differences. They are unable to punish you, and they have not even made a public statement of condemnation. Among them, Bohemond specially came to me and asked me to convey his message to you. Friendship', and hope that both parties will recognize each other's rights to the lands and castles they occupy."

Gawain pressed Bohemond's secret message and sneered twice, but then the herald told him in a low voice, "Lord Godfrey is seriously injured?"

"Why!" Gawain was very worried.

When he learned the reason, he was very surprised. "He quickly sent a messenger to Little Antioch to deliver my gift of herbs and doctors. He also sent Grana Ai to take care of him carefully and restore his health as soon as possible. Now, Immediately to Cilicia or Antioch, Bohemond will show off his power."

"His Excellency Gottschalk's men are also heading towards us."

"Very good. Ask Branas to lead the army to the Mut Valley to welcome them on a chosen day. Ask Andeoda to come early on horseback. The Brotherhood needs him. Also, ask the Nika family, what are their names? Anyway, they are the fourth and fifth brothers, to open their fortresses and roads to the pilgrims. As for Admar's request, it is midsummer now. Once the soldiers take action, they may suffer from heat stroke or even plague, which will destroy the great cause of restoring the Holy City. I suggest that we send troops in the cool season after September. If the priest cannot accept it, I can only express my regret."

The complicated correspondence of documents and secret letters was finally handled. In addition, Gawain was a little tired after persuading a potential mutiny. He stretched his body and came to a cool corner surrounded by silk curtains. Then he asked the Turkish army servant to drag a couch to clear his mind and take a good nap.

The sea outside the city came and went, making layers of monotonous sounds. Gawain, who was lying on the couch, soon felt his eyelids dry, and the sleepy bug flew out with a happy chirp. But after a sound, Anna's little head and expression passed through the curtain and appeared in front of him. Gawain immediately stood up and looked at Anna's hands or waist to see if there were any sharp weapons such as razors, axes, daggers, etc. "What are you looking at, big barbarian? Are you so afraid of me?" Anna said with dissatisfaction. (To be continued ~^~)
