Eagle Byzantium

As for the militia and border militia, there are also certain regulations. They do not have brigade and detachment-level organizations because their garrisons are scattered and they lack experience in coordinated operations. Therefore, there is no need to set up a large structure. The centurion team is their main organizational unit, which is larger than the company of the brigade, and is really a hundred people. There are also differences in tactics between the militia and border militia. The militia mainly uses axes, spears, halberds, and crossbows as weapons, while the border militia is half light cavalry and half lightly armed spearmen.

As for Monomachus, Osen and Polybi, the original Jinat nobles, and their Jinat soldiers, the roster has been completely integrated into the border army system. In fact, almost half of the 6,000 border army are original Jinat, and the outstanding ones have been promoted to centurions of the border army. However, Gawain also specially added: Most of the more than 2,000 people who were dismissed from the Gimages Brigade were also granted border estates in Jubail and Beirut. The entire team is constantly expanding, but one-third of the centurion positions must be reserved for Gawain to arrange personally - either from the imperial guard system or the field brigade system.

In this way, the combat styles of the civilian army and the border army can be more integrated with the three-wing brigade, avoiding conflicts on the battlefield. It can also strengthen the control of the two local armed systems by the Grand Patron.

In fact, the militia and border troops were originally the second-tier troops of the three-wing brigade, and they were replenished as the battle progressed. After the veterans of the brigade retired, some of them became ordinary farmers. Those with outstanding performance could naturally continue to serve as centurions in this system and take on the task of teaching and training. Of course, in turn, the outstanding soldiers in the militia and border troops could also be continuously replenished in the front-line brigades that suffered losses, first serving as ordinary holy beneficiary evangelists, and then promoted to double-paid sergeants, senior sergeants, and even centurions.

As for the honored ones in the brigade, there is also room for advancement. Not only can they be promoted to the imperial guards of the palace, but they will also be selected by the patron and the female Caesar to enter the Tarsus Military Academy for further study.

Yes, while building the St. Paul Cathedral in Tarsus, a "Military Academy" was also established, with the full name of "St. Michael Military Academy": Anna gathered a group of people and spent considerable energy to integrate the military works of successive emperors and compiled a set of textbooks. Gawain deleted and revised them. The most prominent change was to change the original Roman Empire's "defense victory" into the aggressive "attack victory" and "decisive battle victory", and taught them to the grassroots officers who came to study.

To understand the textbooks, you need to learn characters and mathematical calculations, so that the atmosphere of attaching importance to culture and education in the entire Tarsus country has gradually become popular. In addition, the postal department under Gawain also closely monitored the officers and their families in detail to prevent them from defecting with military knowledge and technology, which in turn caused harm to their country.

In this way, the Tarsus General Corps also produced two sets of "circulating convection" systems: on the one hand, many graduates from St. Paul's College were recruited into the army, and on the other hand, many outstanding meritorious people in the army also continued to enter the academy and military academy for further study.

"Only flowing water is clean, and only flowing kingdoms are healthy and strong. In this way, in five to ten years, Tarsus will have a high-quality generals group that can surpass the Roman Empire, and you will also be the pillar class of the entire country in the future. As for the barbarians in the western land, there is no need to be afraid. My idea is not to build a team that can win every battle by relying on the personal ability of the commander, but to build a team that will not fail even if the commander is a fool, so its soul is the generals group, which is a measure more effective than any weapon." In the simple military academy transformed from a synagogue, Gawain personally gave such a speech to the first 40 centurions who enrolled, which was resounding.

In the decisive battle, the recruited militia or the Jinat border centurions will serve as baggage guards or vanguard reconnaissance, and then Gawain will personally command two or even three brigades, plus four cavalry regiments and a fire-throwing regiment directly under him, to launch a devastating offensive against any enemy in Anatolia.

After dictating the formal order to the new confidential officer, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dusty map hanging in the old palace, and pointed at the void, "Melitene, I have never forgotten you. See you next spring."

In the early winter of this year, when the newly born Kingdom of Jerusalem and the equally young Antioch and Tarsus formed a "holy alliance", Caesar Anna Ducas in the palace gave birth to a beautiful girl smoothly.

It is said to be a smooth delivery...

But the truth recorded faithfully by the imperial ink official Hertomia is:

"What is surprising is that although the patron saint is very busy, she stayed by Caesar's side on the day of her delivery and never left. After all, Lady Ingridina of Colleadeo could not compare to her in this respect. Caesar stood in a windproof room with his hands tied with ropes and wearing an ancient pagan mask to prevent the risk of fainting. The patron saint kept telling her how to adjust her breathing and encouraged her - in this respect, Caesar was not as smooth as Lady Ingridina of Colleadeo - Lady Chiser, Lady Ingridina of Colleadeo Mrs. Ou and others assisted in the room. It is said that Caesar's black hair was all loose and sweat was pouring down. She held the hand of the patron desperately and kept shouting in pain and strength. Finally, Wen Ruomingna, the sleeping officer waiting outside the door to be summoned, said that when she heard the healthy cry of the baby, the patron, who was sweating, was completely exhausted and walked out slowly. She hurriedly changed his clothes. It was as if the most noble man in the kingdom had also experienced a tiring and painful childbirth.

......

By the way, Caesar The first child was a girl. She was born with a ruddy complexion and soft dark brown hair. Her eyes and face were more like her mother, while her fingers and hair were slender and beautiful like her father...

When she couldn't suck enough of her mother's milk, her cry was as loud as Koleadios's. Finally, it was Lady Ingrina who generously provided milk. For this reason, this respectable lady never stopped breastfeeding Koleadios and Alemania. May the Virgin Mary bless her and all children.

... ...The objects of blessing, of course, include the new member of our court, Caesar's daughter Helena Ducas.

She was born as the pearl of the kingdom, and is also the fiancée of Gerv Eustace, the heir of the Earldom of Adana. In the future, she will lead our country to a more powerful and glorious zone. "

When Hertomia closed the book, Helena's crying sound came again in the bedroom. Wen Ruomingna, the sleeping officer, combed her lazy braids, hurriedly carried various utensils and smiled at the imperial ink officer, and then walked into the inner room.

"Everyone is busy, I wonder how Agnes Plani is doing." Looking at the figure of the sleeping officer, Hertomia held her cheek and quietly thought of the little sunfish far away on the island of Lesbos. (To be continued ~^~)
