Chapter 113: The Capture Officer Is Captured

Within five days, the city and port of Atalya had yielded, and the hopeless Assasidus had been granted permission to board the ship and retreat to Rhodes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since then, all the areas of Afyon, Pisidia, Atalya, and Alanya, with nearly 400,000 people, have been occupied by Gawain (under the previous plan of Dedo, she and her husband could still have nearly two million people even if they made peace with Gawain, but now they have been torn off more than one-fifth in an instant), and brought with them a large number of resources - timber, rivers, pastures, arable land, marble, ordinary stone mines, etc., and of course, the main thing is to provide the source of saltpeter, and a large amount of guano salt soil in the mountains of Phrygia and Pisidia.

This was also Gawain's greatest concern, as the Theodoro rebellion and the Emperor's original embargo had greatly reduced the trade volume of the Iconium trade route, especially the high-quality nitrate that had been shipped in large quantities from Apulia and Kievan Rus' was almost out of stock. So he learned from the pain, and after almost half of the Khitan snow stock was wiped out in the Battle of Philomeron, he sighed, "This thing is still self-produced". However, the large saltpeter mines were too far away from Gawain in this era, and Egypt had them, but Gawain's hand had not yet reached there; India has it, but Gawain will not see it until he dies in this life; Chile has ...... Gawain said, get out!

Therefore, Gao Wen formulated the "Three-year Hoarding Plan for Khitan Salt Soil", and handed it over to the Governor of Agriculture and the Renewal Association and the Brotherhood to supervise: Gao Wen and Anna jointly issued a seal and granted them the "right to dig out the soil", that is, in the latrines and livestock stables in the whole Tarsus country, in the corners of farms and urban houses, and even under the beds of residents, special funds are regularly used to dig up, no, it is to collect "salt soil", and then seal it in the shallow pond of the workshop and pile it up in the shape of a mound, and then pour urine and lime, and send someone to turn it over every once in a while. Until a large amount of liquid continues to seep out, and then slowly purified into Khitan snow.

At the same time, the areas in the Pisidian Mountains that had been "deeply edified" by guano were also confined, and slave laborers and workshops were organized to scrape and collect them in the same way.

Now in the city of Tarsus, people employed by the Brotherhood have written slogans all over the city, "Give your urine for Caesar and the patron of the Great Lord", "Urine, the foundation of a strong country", "Please use urine to support the three-year hoarding plan".

Then Gawain walked into the city of Atalha in high spirits, and saw the bay with its towering stone walls in the ancient era, the famous Hadrian's Gate and the many sculptures, and rushed into the white waterfall on the long golden beach, that is, the rows of palm trees swaying in the south wind, and couldn't help but admire, "The scenery is no different from my time, except for the speedboats, bikinis and champagne parties on the beach...... There are also the honeycomb slum shantytowns of the old city. ”

Under the circular watchtower of Hedria on a sunny bay, Gawain sat under a parasol cover, took off his armor, and said to the brigade generals and staff who accompanied him on his expedition, "The Gimagith Brigade is temporarily stationed in this harbor city for three months. and repaired the sentry fort at the narrow cliff junction leading to Laudisia to monitor Raymond's movements. ”

"Do you need to make peace with Raymond?" Gregor asked, holding his helmet.

Gawain vetoed, "I have made peace with my brother-in-law, and I will not go to Raymond to sign any agreement with Raymond at both ends, just a reckless man from Provence." Gregor and you have eaten here with your brigade, and I will soon return to Tarsus to hold a banquet for the students of St. Paul's College, and then I will be entrusted to you to supervise their work. There are several major events that you need to supervise carefully. ”

Gregor, Parni, Stalianus and others of the brigade suddenly stood solemnly with the scorching sun on their backs:

Do a good job in the transformation of the Plonian landlords and knights;

divide the land of the Sacred Farms and the village communes as soon as possible;

Priority was given to the resumption of dockyard manufacturing in Atalya, and 3,000 Maldeites were immediately planned to be relocated from Seleucia to serve as shipwrights and sailors;

There is no need to rush to get on the horse, take advantage of the abundant local resources, make light clippers for coastal warfare, and make a small number of overturned warships, and then go back to consult with Agnes as soon as possible;

Specially restored Atalya as the "Kibiodont Sailor Frontier District", which governed 50,000 people along the coast, devoted to shipbuilding and training, and directly sent the ship division Andreev to take charge;

In addition, the "Great Frontier of Pisidia" was set up, which governed the land of Afyon and Pisidia, with Pyrrell as the military chief, and the herdsmen temporarily vacated the position - the question of candidates, Gawain seems to be ready to make a decision after returning to the city of Tarsus, the Milio Sefalon border area was abolished, and together with Firo Mellon, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Giovanni's county of Iconium, and all the border troops in this border area were 1,500 people, and they were transferred to the front line area of Afyon and Ferna to be stationed in the cantonment, responsible for stabilizing the security and order of the place, As for the Nikitas, they were granted the Castle of Ferner, and were granted exclusive rights to the flag and internal personnel, and to be treated equally with the border army;

Together with the original "Milio Sepharon Border People's Army" and the Nikitas Party, it was planned to expand the border people's army in the "Pisidia Frontier Area" to 4,000 men after a year, and after the completion of this plan, the garrison of the Gimagith Brigade might return to the Levant.

"A year later?" Hearing this, Gregor asked suspiciously.

Gao Wen bowed, "We won the decisive battle with the emperor, but we have almost exhausted our domestic reserves and money, and we will concentrate on living in peace with the surrounding forces in the next year." Digest the territory, build the army, so that if I send troops later, it will not be a three-wing brigade, but a five-wing brigade. Moreover, there is the border area of Angras to deal with. ”

"The stubborn guard......" asked the generals.

"Oh, I remember." Gawain touched his beard and remembered Diognis, so he asked, "Is there any news of the sweeping battle on the northern front?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, saying that we had come all the way south from Afyon to here, and that we really didn't know what was going on in Anglasburg.

The news of the battle was reported a few days later by Gawain, Maglendius, and others on board the ship bound for Seleucia, and Anna's messenger accompanied the ship, "After the defeat of the Emperor, the isolated Anglasburg was captured by our army, and the defenders surrendered to the sword of General Branas almost without resistance. ”

"Diognis didn't run?"

"No, he surrendered with his own team, saying that he was responsible for the safety and survival of all soldiers."

"Yes, it's very diognis. Is he himself willing to surrender? ”

"No, he asked to commit suicide with the sword that the Emperor had given him, but General Branas refused, as the doctrine did not permit it. He then asked to let him go back, which was also denied. ”

"That?"

"When the dispute continued, His Highness Caesar sent several female officers to the camp, invited General Branass back to the marriage, and conveniently locked General Theognes in a prison cart and brought him back to the city of Tarsus."
