Eagle Byzantium

"That will also be your freedom. I have no extravagant expectations..."

"You never expected me to be obedient after taking over my body, right? In that case, what did that night mean? Is it my punishment?"

"It's not punishment, it's immunity." To Agnes's surprise, Gawain actually said it shamelessly later, "When you return to Lesbos Island, I have asked several Ani girls to follow you. After that, if you return to the court of Tarsus, Anna and I will welcome you at any time, and we can give you more beautiful girls as gifts, and my previous promise to you will not change..."

"Stop talking!" Agnes closed her eyes, holding on to the crenel angrily and sadly, looking at the gray and blue waves outside, and the white waves hitting the rocks. This deafening sound just covered her. The uneasiness and contradiction, "Yes, I am and ordinary people Girls are different from birth. I like to chase beautiful girls, which is incompatible with the teachings of the church. But you actually took advantage of this weakness and used tactics to play hard to get at me. You also colluded with Anna to set up a trap for me. The body is really disgusting, damn the big brown bear.”

Unexpectedly, Gawain's clearer voice came, "I have never played hard to get with you. In fact, my judgment on you is - Agnes, you not only like girls, but you can also accept men. I think you It’s ‘bisexual’.”

A loud slap in the face caused Gawain to turn his face away, Agnes raised her arms with angry eyes, and the surrounding slave guards holding umbrellas and halberds were shocked.

But Gawain quickly twisted his neck back, neither warm nor angry, and continued to face the little sunfish, "Face the term I gave you. What I did to you that night actually went beyond what I thought before. The teacher-student relationship was very surprising to me. At least at that time, I did not view you as a monster, Agnes, but as a normal, healthy girl. That night..."

With another slap in the face, the chief patron's neck and face changed again. Agnes's face turned red. She was not willing to recall the indulgence and ugliness of that night at all, because in fact, except for the sheets that Wen Ruomingna took away, dyed with her virginity In addition to the blood, it was also full of fishy odor and dampness. Then, Agnes said, "I will carry out everything in Lesbos." Then she walked down the steps of the sea defense battlement and followed the winding roads of the fortress. , quickly disappeared from Gawain's sight.

"Follow me, you guys, and serve the Royal Ink Master on the island." Gawain sternly ordered the Ani girls who bowed to say goodbye. The red traces of the slaps on both cheeks were still clearly visible.

Then, in the old palace of Seleucia, Gawain issued instructions for the reorganization of the army to the newly appointed confidential officer Philactus.

Philactus is actually a Paulist believer, but this phenomenon is not surprising in the Kingdom of Tarsus now - Gawain has basically guaranteed the faith of the surrendered people in the territory. In the past, Philactus followed the Golden State. Hand consul, because he was proficient in Greek writing, he was appointed as a confidential member of the heretic army. Later, after the establishment of St. Paul's College, Anna met This young man was considered to be relatively smart and ambitious, so he was recommended to go to the academy for further study. Now Philactus was proficient in calligraphy and law, so he was promoted to Gawain's side. Now the little sunfish has left, Hertomia's duties lie in the palace, the original mushroom-headed Andodat serves as the county magistrate, and Gawain is once again in urgent need of clerical talents.

Because the army is completely owned by Gawain and Caesar, there is no need to go through the meeting of the Six Divisions, so Gawain directly described his plan to Philactus and asked him to form a formal "Edict of the King" as soon as possible (Gawain and Anna Jointly promulgated, collectively referred to as the laws of the kingdom, military, commerce, real estate, etc.).

According to the statistics of Philactus, there are more than 16,000 soldiers in the entire Tarsus country. Among them, the Gemges Brigade has the largest number of soldiers, with 6,500 soldiers. It is stationed in Jumeirah in the Levant. The Bayler City area; the Red Hand Brigade of 5,000 people is undoubtedly the strongest in strength and combat effectiveness, and their headquarters is now in Tarsus City; the Guardian Brigade is less than 5,000 people, and is stationed in Fanka City.

There are still three counties, Seleucia (which is still under the direct jurisdiction of some officials from the Sixth Division), Tarsus and Sith, but now because of the increasing commercial and military status of Iconium, Gawain also moved it It was upgraded to a "county area", and the county chief was naturally Giovanni, but Miliocephalon was separately designated as a "frontier area" and was under the control of Birel. In addition, the entire Cappadocia outer belt of Kayseri is now owned by Gao Wen, so an independent "grand frontier area" has been established, and the capital has been transferred to Kayseri. This is the frontier army, salt production, animal husbandry and horse administration. is an important place, so Gawain established two top officials here, namely "General" Walter Sanzaval (Army) and "Herdsman Officer" Reinstein (Civil Affairs), which is not seen in other frontier areas - Fanka Frontier Area is controlled by the brigade general Branas; and in the Cilicia Gate Frontier Area, Gawain out of respect The two lords of Genat, Monomachus and Orson, have never classified it as a county, although it is no longer a border area.

In this case, there are now four counties in Tarsus, and four border areas - namely the Kayseri region, and the small Cilicia Gate, Miliocephalon, and Vanka. The county militia has reached 9,500 (Seleucia 3,500, Tarsus 2,500, Iconium has just been reorganized to 2,000, and Sis City 1,500), and the border militia has reached 6,000 (Kayseri region has 3,000, many of them are Oghuz Turks; the other three border areas have about 1,000 each)

Finally, Gawain also has four direct special forces and a palace guard, including three cavalry teams, namely the armored cavalry regiment (now all concentrated in Tarsus) 300 people, the red hand cavalry 1,200 people, the Oghuz cavalry soldiers 900 people, and the large detachment of 1,800 people. The palace guards are two detachments, the Farov detachment and the Milutin detachment, with a size of 300 people.

In addition, the more than 4,000 Armenian soldiers captured after the destruction of the Kingdom of Reuben (about 1,000 of them have been reorganized into fire-throwing soldiers) were also dispersed into three brigades to serve as "logistics soldiers" - in this way, the total military strength of the Tarsus Kingdom is close to 40,000 people.

Gawain had repeatedly told Anna that when I exhausted all my wisdom and skills in the current state form, even if I adopted the most effective "military-first system" and "agriculture, war and commerce in one", the red line is that twelve people support one soldier or official, which cannot be crossed, otherwise it will collapse.

So now Gawain has a population of 1.1 million, so the military burden is still within the theoretically bearable range (the 900,000 people of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period supported an army of about 100,000).

"The total number of troops now is enough to fight against the surrounding areas, but strong enemies are still around, and the effectiveness of the army must be brought into play, so I want to implement the "realistic plan" of the Tarsus Guards." Gawain held the big seal and said to Philactos sitting in front of him. (To be continued ~^~)
