Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 43: Arrow Letter and Peace Talks
It was okay if he didn't raise the text, but Tancred was especially angry when he mentioned it. He loudly said that the Normans had always been alone, and there was no reason to rely on others. Now that the Sultan's wife and children were in the hands of the Normans, then It is our martial arts that no one has the right to covet;
Raymond and Robert of Flanders came out to smooth things over, saying that everyone was united in the pilgrimage, not to mention that Duke Godfrey had already issued a plan for the distribution of the spoils after the fall of Nicaea, but Shahnameh and the Sultan It is better to give the children of the emperor to the emperor. "After all, we cannot cut people up as trophies and divide them equally." In addition, the emperor is also the largest logistics supplier, and we must show respect to him;
Hugh, brother of the King of France. Capet took the opportunity to attack Raymond, saying that when he was in Constantinople, he had blocked other pilgrims from crossing the sea for reinforcements on the pretext of waiting for Patriarch Adémar, and had accepted bribes from the emperor's beauty and gifts. The pilgrims in dire straits were indifferent and almost no longer qualified to be a Catholic. , "When he was in Castile, he married the king's illegitimate daughter. I bet that if any Turkic prince in Asia Minor married his daughter to him, he would immediately convert to Crescentism." For example, today Bohemon Once Germany lures him with merit, "this lord is like a coin dealer who has no position, and he will act upon the news."
Raymond, who was unfoundedly accused, was also pulled out of the argument and participated in the quarrel. However, because of his one eye and stuttering, it was really difficult for him to take advantage of the verbal dispute. The words got worse and worse. In the end, he could only shout repeatedly, "Booty, booty." Do as Godfrey says, but, but Bohemond says, as he says!"
"Where does your share of the spoils come from? Sir, the brave soldiers you recruited from the flower farmers and mud-legged men in Provence have not even touched the walls of Nicaea?" Baldwin sneered loudly.
"You bastard! Shut, shut up!" Raymond from Provence was furious. He squeezed his one eye excitedly and immediately drew his sword. Baldwin on the other side did not give in, shouting and raising the hammer. The two of them drove their horses and were about to cross the ditch to fight to the death. Tancred over there saw that there was a fight, so he also drew his sword. Carrying it on his shoulders, he galloped forward; on the other side of the ditch, Hugh and the earls under Godfrey were also furious, each holding a weapon and going to fight - but it was Robert of Flanders and Stephen of Blois who suffered. . Caught in the middle are earnest words to suppress this looming internal strife.
This scene stunned the Roma soldiers who were watching at the top of the city, and they hurriedly reported the situation to the vizier. At this time, the vizier was in front of the couch, comparing and reading two secret letters, one of which was from the Normans. Inside was a bunch of Shahnameh's hair, asking Nicaea to surrender to them and guaranteeing the safe release of the Sultan's wife and children; there was another letter from the east of the city this morning. What was tied to the arrow and shot in was what Gawain said, "Bohemond. De Vere's words are not credible at all. He is just a repetitive villain. I hope that the two saints of Vizier and Pilgrims will The superiors will discuss the matter of surrender, and we will definitely return the wife, prince, and princess safely." Hajib's signature was also attached at the back of the letter, indicating that what Gawain said was true.
"Contrast." Ibn. Maimon summoned his confidential secretary, and after verification, it was correct. He believed it was Hajib's autograph and thought about it for a while. Maimon sighed and wrote a handwritten letter, "Pass it to... no, spread it to the east side of the city..."
The arrows tied with the Vizier's letter whizzed down from the top of the city, and there were also a few colorful bird feathers tied on them. Wright stood up from behind the wall made of wicker baskets and wooden stakes, and faced the The people at the top of the city waved their hands to indicate that they would not shoot at each other, then pulled out the arrows, put them into the leather tubes that had been prepared in advance, tied them with cloth strips, and then threw them to a messenger.
The messenger held up the leather bag and ran directly into the camp behind. After several relays, it was delivered to the table where Anna was sitting in the Fei tent, while Gawain stood beside it.
"This pagan vizier can actually write in Greek... Very good barbarian. Now everything is going according to plan. Bohemond's delusion will definitely be crushed by us, and the Dalian team will also win in this battle." Get what you deserve." When unfolding Ibn. After Maimon's letter, Anna commented happily, and then Gawain waved to the confidential officer, and Andodat took out the seal from the box, which was a gift from the emperor, "Please protect me." People signed and stamped it.”
Anna readily raised the reed pen and signed her name on it. Then Gawain took the pen and signed his own, "I want the seal together." Gawain felt that the palm of his hand was warm, it was Anna's little hand. Then the two held their hands together, held the handle of the seal, and stamped the seal of the Dalian Company and the Asia March Commander on the reply letter.
The confidential officer holding the box alone felt that he had been hurt by the weight of a thousand modi looking at this scene.
Later, the leather tube containing the reply letter and seal was sent to the front line again. After confirming it, Wright took out the letter, called an archer, and shot it back to the city wall of New Gate.
At this time, the quarrel on both sides of the trench in front of the Norman camp was still going on. Ademar, holding a cross and a cane, stood in the middle of the two groups of lords and shouted, "Now that you don't obey anyone, then Fair arbitration is needed.”
"Of course arbitration is needed. We can also hand over the power of arbitration to the Council of Cardinals, but two priests must preside over it!" Baldwin said bluntly.
"I object!" cried Bohemond.
"I agree." Admar's voice sounded at the same time as his. As for Raymond, he did not hesitate for too long. When he saw that the Patriarch Le Mans was looking at him, he sighed and raised his finger to show his agreement.
At this time, from the wall of the main gate of Nicaea, there was also an envoy holding a flag, sitting in a basket and being hung down. He represented the highest administrative chief and military commander in the city, Vizier Ibn, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Roma. Maimon, I would like to make the following request to all the pilgrim armed forces who are fighting:
We are only willing to talk with the chief of believers who are above the army and warriors, that is, your clergy;
The location is chosen under the city, where the arrows of both sides can "cover" each other;
No conspiracy or sabotage shall occur during and after the talks;
The agreement reached by both parties has the effect beyond the personal wishes of the Emperor of Constantinople and the Sultan of Roma, and all the signatories must strictly abide by it.
"Please report to your palace minister that we are willing to do so, in the spirit of benevolence shared by both sides, and finally save the city from destruction." Adhmar replied to the envoy.
Godfrey, Hugh, Baldwin and others all laughed when they saw this.
A perfect version in 16-9 book forum!
Raymond lay on the horse, feeling very stuffy.
Bohemond trembled and pulled his red beard hard with his hands, and was furious in his heart, "Assholes, I will use my sword to get rid of you assholes sooner or later." This was Tancred roaring softly.
"Everything is Gawain's conspiracy." Bohemond gritted his teeth and said to his nephew. (To be continued ~^~)
