Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 45 New Nicaea

The scene calmed down, Gawain persuaded Macianias to retreat, and then said to the group of monks, "I gratefully accept the genealogy you gave me!"

Then the whole steps were filled with praises and cheers.

Next, Gawain followed the old method, moved out the map board, and directly cut out the "Ghaszne Heritage":

The Kingdom of Chauhan and the Kingdom of Ghadawala used the Deva Fortress as the dividing line, and since then they have not invaded each other. After the destruction of Ghaznavids, the Kingdom of Chauhan can divide the land as far west as Lahore, while the Kingdom of Ghadawala You can get the land to the southwest up to Lansangbol Fortress;

After that, the Kingdom of Chauhan can continue to obtain all the Ghaznavid territories in the Land of the Five Rivers, and destroy the remaining Ghaznavids who continue to resist;

The Kingdom of Gahadawara was free to use troops against the Baltic Dynasty further east, and the annexed lands had legal rights recognized by the Roman emperor;

The subsequent military operations and technologies of the two countries will be supported by the Roman Empire, and the army can also be handed over to the Roman Empire for training (but Gawain does not have a particularly positive attitude. He knows that the military monopoly of these two countries is the Rajput We, this group of nobles will definitely resist the new military system and firearms);

King Gur can occupy all the territory from Herat to Ghaznavids, which can be regarded as inheriting the inherent territory of the Ghaznavid dynasty (Gawain certainly does not want to cultivate an overly powerful Brahman empire, or an overly powerful Crescent Empire, let them continue to contain each other);

Immediately, the Roman emperor is about to leave the coastal area of ​​Sindh and head north to attack the city of Multan, the capital of Sindh. For this reason, the Gur cavalry will continue to follow, and Chauhan, Gahadawala and other states will provide 30,000 soldiers together. A number of princely soldiers served as the "Roman Empire's imperial auxiliaries".

Of course, Gao Wen will not be willing to give up in the end. It is not easy to get here without taking up a plate in this precious land of Tianzhu, and it is even more difficult for me to leave. So he used his knife to carve up almost the entire Sindh in the lower reaches of the Indus River - to the city of Multan in the north, to the Gulf of the Indian Ocean to the south, to the west and Gur's area of ​​influence with the Kirtar Mountains as the dividing line, to the east and Chauhan, The kingdom of Gahadawala was divided by the Aravalli Mountains.

This was the first overseas colony of the Roman Empire, the "Province of New Nicaea".

This name is to commemorate the "Nicaea City" originally established by Alexander the Great in India.

The capital of the province here is the old city of Thatta, which was once a Brahmin colonial seaport and later became the Diwan of the Umayyad Samilai people. Now it is renamed "Stephan's Fort", and the name naturally comes from Emperor Varyag.

Having reached this agreement, the envoy monks left.

Gawain unfolded the blueprint of "Fort Stephen" and the "Overseas Province of New Nicaea" in front of his confidants.

The emperor's plan was to "occupy a large area of ​​legal territory first, and then gradually manage it."

For this reason, the first priority to be protected is Fort Stephen. According to the city construction drawings, Fort Stephen not only needs to be dredged to create a large harbor with a lighthouse, but also needs to be built into a petal-shaped bastion, and a double-layered turret needs to be built in the battlements. The first floor is the bright "fort", and the first floor is the dark "gun city", especially the gun city, which is the city wall. The enlarged war room inside is a long dark corridor, with fast-firing artillery placed at regular intervals, and firing holes for the soldiers' long muskets. Under it are stored grain, stored artillery shells, lead pellets, and Cellar for storing gunpowder - "How to complete this fortress?" Many people expressed concerns about the engineering and defense problems of Fort Stephen, which is isolated overseas.

"You have to be a little enterprising." The emperor was very disdainful. "The future era will be the era of the ocean. The roads will no longer be horse-drawn carriages but sailing ships. The ones that provide a foothold will no longer be inns but places like Fort Stephen." Overseas colonies. I will also win over Axum and Isfahan, establish leased land on Cape Punt and Cape Persia, circle more cities, recruit more Roman immigrants, and then a golden chain will be will be from here The ocean reaches Constantinople. Countless oriental spices, porcelain, silk, diamonds, gems, gold and silver can be used as wealth, and continue to flow into the cistern of the imperial capital. I will never be short of it. My descendants will use these wealth to rebuild the imperial capital into the greatest capital in the world, a beacon that shines on the whole world!" At this point, the emperor stretched out his arms and his eyes were shining, which really described his inner heart. Big dreams.

"Your Majesty, for Romana!" All the soldiers and monks present had gleaming eyes. It seemed that the emperor did not just come to India to grab a handful and leave. He wanted to establish a foothold here and plunder forever. , is to forever develop the wealth here, and this is already in line with the interests of the newly rising class of the empire.

Once they opened their eyes and saw the richer world outside the ocean, the originally conservative Greek Empire began to change and became ambitious. "We also want to fight for the colorful world here!"

They were troubled by all kinds of rumors about India before, but after coming here, they found that apart from the heat, there were abundant products, no shortage of money, and it was easy to conquer. "We plan to take fifty to one hundred years to gain a foothold in the whole of Sindh, annex the Kacha and Gujarat regions, and obtain more excellent seaports; then we will educate the local natives, make them civilized, let them convert to the Reformed Society, let them be proud of speaking Greek, the upper class will serve as our administrative bureaucrats, the lower class will serve as our servants and soldiers, give them Roman firearms, and conquer more territories." A monk of the Reformed Society, who was later the first governor of the "Province of Nicaea", wrote in his diary after the meeting that day with such ambition.

That night, this Corsos took the initiative to find the emperor and talked in the Diwan Hall until the early hours of the morning.

When he came out the next day, he held the golden edict appointing him as the governor, because the emperor highly praised his idea.

The governors of overseas provinces have adopted a term system, which lasts for five years. After five years, they will be unconditionally transferred back to Constantinople to serve as officials in the capital, and then transferred to other places, or the empire, or other overseas provinces. The power of appointment and dismissal is firmly in the hands of the emperor. If the governors are derelict in their duties, corrupt, or treason during their term, they will be severely punished by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my tenure policy is to build the city defense of the entire Stephen Castle, reserve enough food, horses and ammunition, and reform the old land system of the entire Nicaea overseas province, liberate the shackles on the peasants, clear out the hostile remnants who fled to the jungles of Kacha and Gujarat, strive to train 3,000 to 5,000 "Princely Autonomous Corps", and establish trade relations with the Chola Empire in the south of India, which controls the sea route to the East." At the inauguration ceremony, Kossos presented his government plan to the emperor on the throne.
