Eagle Byzantium

After finishing speaking, the prince closed his eyes more frankly and sincerely, and wished his sister Dido and her husband to fulfill their responsibilities on this land and sea. "Lydia, Mysia, and Pamphylia are the traditional rich places of the empire." "I hope Brenus can build a fleet well. We suffered a big loss due to insufficient ships in this battle."

At this moment, on the gate of the back courtyard, the dusty and ragged prison officer Diogenes appeared again holding a flail. Out of breath, he grabbed his dirty and tangled hair and kept wiping the sweat. , it seemed that he had traveled a long way. After seeing the prince and the other princess in purple, Diognis hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying that he had been ordered to guide the prince to take up his post on the other side of the ocean.

"Take care, sister." The prince, Dido and the carriage passed by each other, and the Turkic slaves behind him got up to follow.

"Take care of yourself, brother. However, as to what you think of Gawain, Breanus and I both want to hear your opinion." Dido gently wiped the handkerchief on the back of her neck where her hair was stuck. Then she raised her head slightly and wiped her small chin carefully. The sun shone through the half-green and half-yellow leaves of early autumn, with the chirping of birds and cicadas jumping lively on the hem of her skirt. A little princess turned into a small colorful sculpture.

"Gawain's military system and governance are very novel. It is by no means Varian-style or imperial-style, but it is very effective. I decided to imitate and improve his methods in the future Kingdom of Moria." John said this At that time, she did not look back, but Dido had a funny expression on her face and laughed so hard, "You actually gave up the best and most advanced imperial system in the world to learn the methods of a barbarian and let your father know How sad and disappointing it would be.”

"Gawain's territory only has a population of about 400,000, and they come from various regions, but he can pull out 20,000 elite soldiers to fight at any time. I can only say so much, sister - after all, he is on the front line It is my brother-in-law who bears the brunt of his attack." After John finished speaking in a low voice, Dido became silent. Although the silk handkerchief in her hand was still shaking and the crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her nose were still rolling slowly, she remained silent until she turned around. When his dark eyes came, John had already disappeared behind the gate of the courtyard.

"I won't lose at all." Then Dido pursed her red lips and muttered in her heart. Then she stared at the colorful rosary wrapped between her fingers and laughed, "Come on, let's hurt each other, sister." ...No need for boring palace fighting skills, just fight like male politicians and generals."

Then, she raised her hands and practiced a cute smile. The maids around her hurriedly helped her straighten her appearance. After a while, Dido held up her skirt and walked into the hall where the discussion was taking place, like a cute little bird. He snuggled up to his father's side as if he were there, "Why don't you wait outside to meet my good girl? Why can't you be separated from Brenus for a while?"

"Father, I am also a woman in purple who can participate in politics. I think instead of spending time waiting in the garden, why not come here and sit down and listen to your views on the current situation?" Dido then sat down generously. At the side of my father and husband.

Alexios smiled helplessly, thinking that they were indeed a family. This little daughter and Apat were so similar to each other.

"Your Majesty has instructed that the main enemy of the empire now is Bohemond of Antioch." Brenus hurriedly explained to his wife respectfully.

"Really, I heard before that Bohemond owed the Pisa people a large sum of money when I was in Moria, so I heard that the previous massacre of the Pisa Chamber of Commerce in Antioch was instigated by this red-haired barbarian. ." Dido said softly, "So. If you want to deal with Bohemond, why not use the power of the Pisa people? Besides, in the previous war, the Venetians secretly worked with Gawain and other gangsters, and it is time to win over other Italian city-states to suppress this group of profit-seeking seals. "

Hearing these words, Alexios nodded, "Yes, I have received information, and it seems that the person who will be the patriarch of the pilgrim team immediately is the Archbishop of Pisa, Sapphobel."

"Then my father received him 'even more warmly' in the imperial capital, gave him some fine silks and treasures, and promised a big deal to the Pisa people - making them feel that they could stand side by side with the Venetians and enjoy the gifts of the empire. These people will be sincerely grateful to your father for their meals, and they have heard that they have a close relationship with the Patriarch of Rome. This is also an opportunity for you, father, to improve your relationship with the Catholic Church."

"Just authorize the Pisa people to open commercial ports and warehouses in the imperial capital. It's easy." Alexios still thinks that this is definitely not a problem, that is, it is a matter of a golden edict.

"Then the Pisa people will naturally use their money to deal with Bohemond. Even if they don't let him fall, they will make him embarrassed. But father, after all, Bohemond is far away in Antioch, and now this area There is a serious problem for us on the plateau..."

"You mean Gawain, Baldwin, Reuben, Gillicki, and Merrick?"

"Yes, then just incite them to kill each other." A sneer appeared on Dido's lips, "Father, you are the emperor that the pilgrim lords jointly swore allegiance to, and you are also Gawain's superior. Please issue a note and edict to divide regional operations, Just like putting iron cages on the beasts one after another, let Gawain and Baldwin go to the dangerous plateau to defeat the Danish chief Merrick; and then let Reuben and Bohemond fight each other; Gawain and Bohemond are led away If they stayed, the other pilgrims gathered in Antioch would be unable to attack the Holy Land, and there would inevitably be internal strife and a melee. When the agreed date arrived, my father successfully took back Gawain's occupied territory, which had lost its strength. Seleucia, Cilicia Ah, in this way, the smooth road to the east is wide open, the imperial army goes straight to Antioch, and surrenders Bohemond - Father, the beasts are uncivilized beasts after all, just throw them a bone, carry a whip and iron Cage, you can successfully subdue them.”

At this time, the people in the entire hall were silent, impressed by the wisdom of this petite "female general" and fell into silence. Even Alexios and Brenus were stunned. After a while, the emperor "consulted" his daughter again, "What about Giliki?"

"The Konya dogs suffered a heavy blow when the pilgrims swept through Anatolia. Now, although Giliki seems to be recovering, most of his subordinates are just bandits and civilians, and they are not overwhelmed by numbers. One blow. But father and husband, we must not leave Giliki to Gawain to deal with. We must kill him with our own hands, because his territory is the lock of Sitong Plateau. In the Land of Keys, if Gawain takes advantage, our way forward will be completely blocked. So, father, you were deceived by the Count of Blois and Titicius before, but now your sword and horse hoofs cannot. Stop slacking off and conquer the city of Konya resolutely." Dido then almost knelt down in front of Alexios, pulling on the corner of his clothes and pleading hard. (To be continued ~^~)
