Eagle Byzantium

After speaking, Brenus said on the map table, "This route is from the imperial capital to Meisembria, using a group of ships to the mouth of the Danube River, and then water transporting along the empire's fortresses along the river to supply the frontline field brigades. In this way The combined forces of General Bramson and Justice Giovanni can successfully attack Hum and Carinthia."

"Very well, Brenus, my brother-in-law, now we have enemies on several sides, so the rhythm must not be messed up, and we must stick to our own dance steps - I can give another of the most elite brigade on the northern front, then Do you think Bramson and Giovanni will successfully end the war on the Northern Front within three months?”

"If Your Majesty sends any of the Three Wings Brigade, I believe it is absolutely fine." Brenus replied affirmatively.

Gawain was silent for a while and said very well, "Then I will send the Jimmagis Brigade to the northern front, so that there will be five field brigades there, and Bramson will be ordered to defeat them within three months. Enemies - Your Excellencies Grand Comptroller Germanus, Dean Sherman, and Prime Minister Burrill, when Belgrade and Vidin fall into our hands, and we can advance northward to Carinthia, How many troops should I leave to guard there?"

"With the addition of His Excellency Algieli's border residents, only one brigade is enough for garrison - Hungary and Salian are both our allies, and the city of Venice is under the watchful eye of the censor Darkconinus. "After a short discussion, several people came to this conclusion.

"Well, then the Nika Brigade will be stationed in Durazzo on the southern front, while the Opuskin Brigade will be stationed in the imperial capital in the Thessalonica area. In this way, I can still lead eight field brigades (including the two in the east), The three newly attached large brigades, plus the border troops of Anatolia and Greater Armenia, can dispatch 90,000 troops for a decisive battle, and then add the servant coalition forces of other countries, up to 150,000 soldiers, in Austria. The River Csus..." After saying that, Gawain pressed the drawing table with his broad palm, "Brenus, you are also responsible for the waterway from the Euxing Sea and gathering supplies at the Port of Fasis. And Andodate, you will go to Tripoli again, carrying money to mobilize the servant army there, especially the Maronites and Firouz cavalry - then you will have another responsibility, which is to outflank Antioch. "

"Diognis, on the other hand, rushed to the brigade garrison in Tbilisi. Once there, he immediately joined forces with Haddadi, Shirvan and Georgia to attack Shirvan Pasha's country and obtain the Baku city. Inland sea port, plus the north-south pass of Derbent!”

After all the responsibilities were assigned, Gawain took a breath tiredly. Then he turned around and said to Anna, who was always standing by his side, "After I go on the expedition, the empire's Baselisa will guard the imperial capital." , is solely responsible for all left-behind affairs.”

"Yes, I will do it well, Damanzi." Anna's tone was very calm.

After nightfall, the emperor and the empress walked side by side on the terrace of the New Palace next to the artificial lake. The cool breeze was blowing there. Anna slowly walked in the center of the terrace, stepped on a piece of floor, and then looked down, "This is it." Stone."

"Well." The emperor sat on the couch and replied to her, "It was originally in the Grand Palace, but now it has been transformed into the Capital Market, so I asked the craftsman to move this purple heart stone. Come here."

Anna raised her head and smiled, showing her shining silver teeth. It seemed that Gawain really remembered that she was only twelve years old at that time. She and Gawain traveled all over the imperial capital, and she was also standing in the Grand Palace at that time. On the identical purple stone, she accepted Gawain's oath of allegiance to her.

Now we have come all the way here hand in hand, he is the Baseleus of the Empire, and she is the Baselisa of the Empire.

The great Romana revival cannot be achieved without anyone.

Now she is standing on this stone that symbolizes the core power of the world. She turns her head and says to her husband who is sitting on the couch like a mountain, "I feel at ease when I see you."

"When I see you as a baby, I feel the same way."

"I have also read the information sent by the postmaster just now. Are there any strategies to be adopted against Bohemond?"

"Of course..." Gawain said, turning around and looking at the lake that was very brightly illuminated by stars and fireworks.

Two months later, in the riverside wilderness 70 kilometers north of Sirmium, gunpowder smoke filled the air, mutilated corpses lay all over the land, and rows of brigades' shooting corps were continuously loading, advancing, and firing. ——When General Bramson besieged Belgrade Castle, the helpless little Roger responded to the humiliation At the invitation of King Zavida, he led his army to forcibly move south along the Drava River for reinforcements. However, he was captured by two brigades ambushed by Bramson on the side of the road and was defeated: Little Roger rode on horseback and fled to the other side of the Drava River in panic. Only to escape, his troops were completely destroyed, and the spear charge of the Norman cavalry failed.

Soon after, the two river defense fortresses of Vidin and Belgrade could only declare their surrender. King Zavida of Hum had no choice but to return home in desperation. He and his family were escorted to the imperial capital as trophies - and then , Empress Basilisa who stayed in Constantinople He gave a decisive order to brutally castrate all the men and women of the Zavida Negaman clan, and sent them all to work as slaves in the palace. This Serbian royal family, like the Dukeria royal family, had the same fate of being massacred, and was swallowed up in the palace. Within the corner of the courtyard wall of the Varyag Dynasty palace.

Next, villages and cities across Dalmatia fell to the Empire like an avalanche. Bramson's front brigade advanced to Bosnia and Zachlunia. Roger the Younger could only abandon Zagreb Castle and hurriedly fled to a fishing port on the coast to Italy.

Henry V, who was afraid and alert to the fierce expansion of the New Roman Empire, immediately sent another delegation headed by Secretary Eckhard and invited King Coloman as a third-party arbitrator, hoping that Gawain's army would stop at the border.

Then the Imperial Court Judge Giovanni signed a treaty with Eckhard in the city of Petovio (now Ptuj). The two sides divided Carinthia into two. Henry V occupied the north, with territory from Emona (now Ljubljana) to Vienna at the northern end; Gawain I occupied the south, that is, the area centered on Zagreb.

As for the Istrian Peninsula extending to the west, it was jointly managed by the two empires of the East and the West, granting the cities there autonomous power and paying tribute to the two countries.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

South Carinthia established a "principality" vassal to Constantinople, and Gawain finally fulfilled the plan he and Wen Ruomingna had discussed before: his son Kaleadios Gawain with the widow would inherit the position, and Kaleadios was also arranged to marry the eldest daughter of Andeodate and the Austrian princess Voss. This girl was six years younger than Kaleadios, and the two planned to get married in five years.

This was done, of course, to appease the majority of people in South Carinthia: they were all Germans who migrated here.
