Eagle Byzantium

"There is nothing we can do about it. All external ports have been lost. Now in the country of Cilicia, Baldwin's wife and the imperial purple princess are actively contacting the Italian city-state's fleet that has taken refuge there, and are starting to recover the port of San Simon - but All this is not enough to have maritime weapons. All the pilgrims in Antioch cannot sit on the sea. To wait for death, we must first establish a foothold in the camp outside the city, and then launch a fierce attack on the port and Atta City. As long as we can restore this place, our food crisis will be solved. But everyone, the premise is that we must defend first! , fight back again!" Facing the accusations from Hugh and the other lords, Gawain no longer remained silent, stroking his chest and explaining.

Bohemond also rarely agreed with this plan, "Yes, so we still have to compromise with the Pisa merchants for the time being and continue to buy their supplies at high prices. Because now, only Consul Monini still controls the only food in the city. reserve."

In the end, what Gawain just said was okay. After Bohemond finished adding it, everyone complained even louder!

Hugh continued to attack, and he still reported the prices of goods in the city - a sheep's feet and tongue, 6 Lucca silver coins; a sheep or donkey head, 1 Byzantine gold coin; any internal organs except the head, feet, and tongue. , worth 15 Su silver coins; "Just yesterday, my slave bought a dead and rotting camel meat for everyone in my tent. I have lost 15 pounds of silver, and I have to buy food for the Pisans for the entire army, and I have to pay gold and silver coins every day. Why on earth do I have to pay so much money in exchange for such a poor price? As for the food, why don't I give it to the Chamber of Commerce in Marseille? Can anyone tell me why?" Hugh's attitude became impassioned.

This was obviously a sign of resentment for being excluded from the secret chamber meeting. Gawain understood immediately upon hearing this that the noble Hugh was disrupting the situation.

The best way is to ignore it completely.

Gawain then changed the subject. He asked Bohemond, "How have the Turks been attacking at the Iron Gate Fortress in the past two days?"

Ignoring the continued croaking noise, the Duke of Apulia spread his hands and answered Gawain, "The attack of a small group of troops. According to my light scout reports, Cobuha may bring the camp and the main force of the large group to prepare for the attack." Move the camp to your camp."

"That's right, because there are rugged mountain roads on the side of the Acropolis, and coupled with your lord's bravery in fighting, Kobuha feels that it is difficult to make a breakthrough there, but in front of me, everything is smooth." Gao Wen said Then he walked to the altar and was greeted by The compliment was very useful to Bohemond, so he followed him and continued to add to Gawain's plan, "So the focus of Cobham's immediate attack will be on your defenses or Godfrey's west." Fort. We must be fully prepared for battle."

Over there, behind Xiu, many lords pointed at Gawain and refused to give up. "We said that the food problem is very urgent now and cannot support large-scale armed operations..."

"Then change the rationing method!" Gawain roared, pointing back at Hugh and the others, so frightened that Bohemond, who was always following him, also trembled slightly, "From now on, soldiers and laborers Different rationing standards were applied to Christians, Crescents and Christians, civilian pilgrims and armed personnel, frontline soldiers and resting soldiers, men, women and children.”

"What?" Such words, which are fundamentally contrary to the love of Christ, were spoken so blatantly in the mouth of a grand duke. Almost everyone in the entire hall changed their expressions, except for the hermit Peter who put his hand on his forehead to express his distress. , but Gawain seemed to have been prepared, and took the plum blossom next to him with one hand. Luo had drafted the document in advance, and then slapped it hard on the Holy Table with a "dong", "The first-line soldiers are the highest, the first-line garrison soldiers are second, the second and third-line rest soldiers are third, the laborers among Christians are third, and the new ones are second. Those who work in the moon are the worst, and the women and children who cannot work are the worst.”

"With the current food situation, if we don't provide some supplies for the women and children in the city, and a large number of them starve to death, how will this match the compassionate spirit of our Lord?" The priest Ademar made the sign of the cross, his attitude was very shocking, and he said to Gao Wen's cold and cruel move, while Bohemond stood beside him with a frown, and the surrounding lords also felt that this was a bit excessive.

"I have already done some research. The West Fort used to be a stretch of barren grassland. The women and children in the city were asked to gather there to pick and dig out plant roots. I believe Lord Godfrey will protect them properly." Gawain's tone was still like that. The steel on the sword was cold and emotionless.

"What will we do without the rhizomes? Those things can only last a few days." A lord asked.

“Taking a boat to fish for algae and fish from the Falfa River.”

"What if these are gone too?"

"Then collect the leather in the city and cook it to eat."

"If it were leather..."

"Do you only ask these boring assumptions?" Gawain was furious and walked up to the lord who kept asking questions. The other party was a famous castle knight under the Capetian royal family. "I can't wait until the leather is finished. The decisive battle between Fang and the Turkic princes of Mosul must be settled, otherwise The emperor's people will gain everything if they win, or they will all sink into the Lord's hell! This is not your concern at all. If you can pick up the sword, get on the horseback, and want to eat the food that only front-line soldiers can enjoy, then Go and fight the infidels valiantly, or close your Mouth, eating some roots and leather will be good for improving your weak waist." Gawain grabbed the collar of the knight's cloak, his tall body facing the sunlight coming from the window, and he looked at him like a kid. Like a chicken, he sternly scolded and said, "It's not just about equality. When I love, I always respect women the most, but now, here, in this purgatory called Antioch, no one is sinless, and everyone must redeem themselves in fighting and gathering. It’s your own fault, because this is not a palace ball, but a bloody battlefield.”

After speaking in one breath, Gawain pushed the knight hard to the pillar, and then looked at Xiu, who did not dare to say a word, but whose muscles were trembling, "I want to give the best to the front-line warriors, so that they can Have enough strength to kill the enemy and save everyone - is it that simple? Do you want to stop in front of me now?"

The several French palace counselor knights behind Hugh had their eyes crossed, grunted and clenched the hilts of their swords, and advanced towards Gawain angrily.

But Xio stretched out his arms to stop them firmly, then lowered his head, took two steps back, circled his arms, and bowed to Gawain to express compromise.

"Will you attack? Will you attack successfully?" At this time, Ademar stood up and asked excitedly, holding the corners of the cross.

"I need sufficient food for 6,000 to 10,000 soldiers, of which 2,000 are for the cavalry reserve." Gawain turned his head and slowly said to the priest, "Ten days of supply, the goal is to recover Ah Tacheng and San Simon Port. After achieving this goal, we will fight to the death with the armies of Kobuha and Ridwan, and there will be no food problem." (To be continued~^~)
