Eagle Byzantium

Of course, before Li Yuanxun withdrew, his representatives Emperor Li Hui and Gao Wen signed a series of good-neighbor covenants. The two sides used the Yaosha River (Sir Darya River) as the boundary. Since then, they have sent envoys to each other every year to greet each other and revive the relationship between the East and the West. The Silk Road, the Tang Dynasty imported tea, porcelain, raw silk, etc., the Roman Empire... Well, it seemed that there was nothing to sell in return, so I happily started a second-hand dealer to earn money from Italy and Frankland.

"We must realize our shame and take the lead in building large workshops in important cities such as Tripoli, Tarsus, Constantinople and Mystra to make sugar, porcelain, silk, etc., and we must slowly realize many The localization of products, and the Indian province of New Nicaea must not be given up - the future of the Roman Empire lies not only in Italy, Serbia or Mosia, but also in Egypt, Axum and India." After reading the covenant document, the emperor said. He summoned the generals, indoctrinated them and encouraged them.

But now if we want to do well in commerce on the Silk Road, we must maintain the relationship between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Gaotang Empire. Therefore, although Li Yuanxun and his team left, the covenant they signed with Gaowen on behalf of the East remained as Gao Da The appearance of the stone tablet stands fifteen kilometers outside the city of Samarkand. It is engraved in three styles: Chinese, Greek and Persian:

“The emperor of Rome and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty negotiated and the country became one, and they established a covenant of great peace, which will never be replaced. Gods and men will testify to this, and they will be praised from generation to generation...

The two countries were in charge of their own territory, with the Syr Darya River as the dividing line. Everything to the west belonged to Rome and Seljuk, and everything to the east belonged to the Tang Dynasty. They did not become enemies of each other, did not raise armies, and did not invade each other. ...Whenever the post envoys and caravans enter the country, they will treat everyone as if they were family guests..."

Under it are densely signed the official titles and names of many powerful people in the Gaotang Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Isfahan Palace, the Khwarezm Palace, and of course Gawain's own signature.

In addition, Li Yuanxun also erected a smaller monument about three hundred feet away from the "Meeting Alliance Monument", with the following inscriptions on it:

"Tianmei (hold on, we can win the next round), November 21st, the winter of 19th year.

Li Yuanxun, Zuopushe, Shangshu of the Anxi Persian Imperial Guard School, the Jiedu Ambassador of the Four Towns of Anxi,

The Anxi camp was recruited to recruit the Jiedu ambassadors from the four towns in Anxi to stay and inspect the school. Gao Wenchang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry,

Yang Jifu, the Secretary of the Supervisory Army Envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi, the Assistant Minister of the School Inspectorate,

Yang Jixing, a doctor in the household department who inspected the school, Chaosan, the judge of Anxi Jiedu,

Anxi Jiedu promoted officials to supervise the imperial censor Li Xingxing and Yingya general Han Shizhong.

Anxi Jiedu Inspector auditions the Prince's Mansion Zhengzi Xingying to select the forward general Wu Jie...

The Song Dynasty was destroyed here, and a monument was erected to remember it. "

Gawain also ordered that after three days of rest, the imperial army would return west from the city of Samarkand, cross the Oxus River, and march toward Constantinople, where a grand triumph was waiting for you.

However, the emperor still had a very important matter to deal with, which was to comply with General Crustarus Guo's request and appoint him as the "Balakat Caesar".

Pharmacist Guo walked into the emperor's imperial camp with a happy face. At this time, Gao Wen was surrounded by guards, looking thoughtfully at the gifts Tong Guan gave him, some of which were the relics of the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji.

Many of them were congratulatory documents for monasticism. The frowning emperor was not interested in them and threw them aside.

But soon a meticulous painting of a lady painted by Zhao Ji caught Gao Wen's attention. The picture showed an image of a woman wearing a black robe with floating ribbons, like flying into the sky. On it was Zhao Ji's own handwriting in thin gold, which read "Nine Heavens". Xuan Nu".

"This can be considered a trophy. Please keep it, Holy Sister, and send it to the Holy Wisdom Cathedral for preservation in the future." Gawain rolled up the scroll and handed it to Cabeamiya, and then saw Zhao Ji again. Gawain was even more surprised by the other painting. Just at this time, Pharmacist Guo walked into the tent to see him. He rolled it up quietly, put it in the ivory box, and closed the lid.

Gao Wen greeted Pharmacist Guo warmly, and then immediately asked the guards to bring him the noble purple robe and seal. Zhang Linghui and other generals were also awarded white robes and corresponding medals. Pharmacist Guo's eyes shone, "This is the royal robe." , even in the Central Plains, it is a sign of being a highly respected minister!" Then Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Xiao Luoshan and other backbones of the original Chang Sheng Army naturally wanted to bow before the throne and say "The sun and the moon can teach them" to Gawain! daily expression of loyalty.

But this is nothing. Gawain also delivered a golden edict to Pharmacist Guo and an edict from the Isfahan court, stating that the area between the east of the Oxus River and the west of the Syr Darya River included Bukhara and Samarkand. The wealthy cities such as Guo Yaoshi and Balakot were all under the control of Guo Yaoshi and the Niki Brigade. He had the power to recruit troops, taxation and moderate judicial power, but he had no power to declare war or diplomacy.

Pharmacist Guo thanked him profusely and shed tears of gratitude, but he thought in his heart: Give me twenty years, and I can be an emperor here. By then, I will be able to be an emperor, whether it is Fufu or Ditang. How can I, Grandpa Guo, never win again? No need to be influenced by others.

"Are you really too tolerant of a scum like Pharmacist Guo, as Markianias previously wondered? And he also has dirty ambitions." After Pharmacist Guo resigned, Holy Sister also made a statement Same question.

But Gawain drew on the map and explained to the Holy Sister with a smile, "Since my energy is to open up the Red Sea and the Indian Sea immediately, I can only maintain the policy of restraint in the Khorasan, Hezhong and Ghaznavid areas. Guo Yaoshi Although he is a bad person, he still has some ability. Give him a few big cities and let him fiddle with them. In addition, Yelu Dashi, Khwarazmo, etc. are not kind-hearted characters. They are still wandering in this land. superior, I gave Pharmacist Guo more capital to make him last longer - I still have three chess pieces, one is the tower base of Sistan, and I gave him all the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry that surrendered before; and I gave him With these three chess pieces, I can control and monitor Isfahan and Baghdad. You can also enter Ghaznavid and India."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"And Tapo's death?"

Gawain then answered the Holy Sister's doubts, "Of course you know that the person who hopes to kill Tapo in the chaos of the battle is Kobuha, but there is also an accomplice."

"Bacyanuk..." Saint Sister reported the answer.

Bakyanuk is Tapo's eldest brother. After his son became the current Seljuq Sultan, Bakyanuk was forced to retire in seclusion out of consideration of balancing the forces of all parties.

But how could he actually be willing to do so? He secretly signed a secret agreement with Kobha, the governor of Mosul, and with Gawain's acquiescence, he killed his younger brother Muhammad Tapo, and hurriedly became his son's "supervisor". Since then, the Isfahan palace has openly been freed from the enemy again. Due to the influence of the Baghdad Caliphate (Tapo is a standard pro-Baghdad faction), it once again became a pure Seljuk regime. The Caliphate must now know the inside story, but no matter how fierce the overt and covert fighting will be in the future, it will have nothing to do with Gawain.

Gawain only wanted the garrison and trade privileges in Hormuz as payment.
