Chapter 283 Counterattack is imminent
When Garris woke up the next day, Isabella next to her was in the shape of a big letter, and her sleeping appearance was quite ugly.
But the peaceful sleeping face is very cute, and the delicate facial features have a different kind of charm like a doll in the morning light.
It's unreal and unreal. Yesterday has passed, but I have a little wife, shouldering a responsibility on my shoulders. Although I can't say that I didn't expect it, when all this really happens, Gareth will still Some sighs.
Especially now that Isabella is also a little pregnant, and she directly married her son into a family of three.
Scenes from the past were swirling in his mind, and finally Garris raised the corners of his mouth and pinched the girl's nose.
"The sun is shining on your buttocks. It's time to get up and pray in the morning."
The discomfort caused by poor breathing made Isabella wake up from her sleep, and then rubbed the corners of her eyes with her little hands, looking drowsy.
"Bad guy." The girl muttered, but after noticing the color of the sky, she quickly got up.
Isabella actually didn't pay much attention to the various morning prayers, evening prayers and hourly prayers on weekdays, but today was different.
Even though the prophet might be by her side, Isabella still chose to follow the Frankish tradition of having a devout morning prayer with her husband after the wedding night.
"I am waiting for my father in heaven."
"We wish your name to be holy."
"Your country is here."
"Your decree is carried out on earth as it is carried out in heaven."
"I'm waiting for you. Give me today so that I can eat daily."
"You forgive me my debts, just as I also forgive my debtors."
"I am not allowed to fall into temptation."
"Save me from evil."
"Ammon."
Garris used a very niche version of the Lord's Prayer, which was co-translated by Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi.
Isabella was a little confused and couldn't understand the language at all, but Garris didn't mention it too much.
When the morning prayers were over, Garris followed the Frankish tradition and gave his wife a precious gift. It was not land or money, but a handwritten catechism.
For Gareth, this is the culmination of the past few years and his hopes for the future.
When the last step of the wedding was completed, Garris looked at the girl, and the girl looked at Garris. They didn't say anything, but they unconsciously showed happy smiles, and then embraced and kissed each other.
When the warmth of the morning ended, Garris controlled his impulse, took Isabella to wash up, and styled her hair like Athena's laurel wreath.
This is not the first time Garris has braided Isabella's hair, but it is the most serious and lengthy time since they met.
What was once a clever and ingenious person is now reduced to a focused "clumsiness".
"Are you satisfied?" Garris took out a small makeup mirror and handed it to the girl.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Isabella had never realized that she could be so beautiful. A light eyebrow, pure blue eyes, a well-shaped nose, pink and slightly thin lips, and an elegant "laurel crown".
A natural, ethereal and elf-like girlish temperament was highlighted.
"It's always appropriate to light up your brows without applying makeup, and wear plain makeup." Garris couldn't help but admire her.
Looking at his wife, Gareth couldn't help but think of those years in the village of Aksir and Transjordan. Working under the scorching sun without saying a word, I can deal with it calmly if my fingers are scratched by the sun.
At that time, Isabella had wheat-colored skin like a farm girl, with several calluses scattered on her palms. She was so unpretentious that it was hard to imagine her origins.
No matter how the appearance changed, she was still his wife.
"Stop looking and go eat." Then he clicked on the girl's slightly baby-fat face.
"Okay!"
He recited another sentence softly: "The bond between life and death is broad, tell it to your son. Hold your hand, and grow old together with you."
[We have already made an oath to live and die together and never be separated. I'll hold your hand when we say goodbye, and I'll live forever. 】
……
This was a simple but grand wedding. Garris did not do anything particularly outrageous, and he did not even publicize his name.
To the citizens of Tire City, Garris's identity is actually not mysterious. He is just a hero who regained lost territory.
His origins are impeccable in a sense.
In the official announcement, Gareth de Villeroy's ancestors came from France. His mother died early and his father died in the Battle of Montgisard. He was raised in the palace since he was a child. It can be said that he was raised by the "Leper King".
For such a well-established descendant of the Crusaders, the vast majority of ordinary people in Tire only lamented that a hero comes from a young age, and did not think that Garris could conquer everything.
In the final analysis, Gehrys's other self-declaration is too sensitive. Now is the time when the crusade movement is rising again, so there is no harm in being a little low-key.
Those with higher status know more information, and often fall into a kind of frightening suspicion, fearing that the deeds they have heard are true.
As for the insiders at the top level, all of them are either in a bad position or struggling to stand up.
After all, this second son of Jehovah is coming to the mortal world. There is no obstacle in the world that he can't overcome. If he doesn't follow suit and win, is he still planning to fight against him?
Even Irakli, who was the most active opponent of Balian and Isabella, immediately surrendered after understanding Garris' ability after being sent away several times.
It can be said that the matter of cleaning up the political arena in Jerusalem was greatly simplified by Saladin.
The current Kingdom of Jerusalem is completely different from the former Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Apart from the names, not much is the same. Almost all administrative agencies are structured by members of the Order from Transjordan.
Garris should really say thank you to Saladin for helping him clean up the land aristocracy.
When the nobles are separated from the land, then those nobles do not even have the ability to find trouble or overturn the table.
Neither Balian nor Garris have ever been afraid of that group of insects. To be more precise, putting such a group of insects in the open will not only cause little trouble, but can also destroy the cohesion of hostile factions. Drag the other party down. Other nobles who are willing to go to the battlefield, set an example, and have military qualities have arranged for the status of honorary nobles who only receive annuities. They can be sorted out from the dregs who can still fight, showing that they have inherited the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Leonard, who was truly capable of carrying out massive destruction, had already been executed in Antioch.
And the current leader of the opposition, Irakli, records a meeting report after every meeting and hands it to Garris.
Is there any Xiaoxiao in the kingdom who can make a mistake?
Garris can be said to be the true uncrowned king.
The uncrowned king is indeed the uncrowned king. Even though Isabella is already the confirmed Queen of Jerusalem, Gareth still refuses to wear the crown of secular kingship.
He did not even crown Isabella himself.
There was not much time left for Garris and Isabella to be affectionate after their wedding. Only three days later, preparations for the coronation ceremony were completed.
Compared to the grand occasion of a wedding, a coronation is nothing less.
The most holy Latin Patriarch of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Iraclius, personally crowned Isabella.
After all, before the church packaged itself as the supreme patriarch of the universal church, the Roman Pope was just one of the five patriarchs. The patriarch of Jerusalem even meant that he was equal to the Roman Pope to a certain extent.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The Patriarchate of Jerusalem was one of the five patriarchates established and recognized by the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It was joined by the Patriarchate of Rome, the Patriarchate of Antioch, the Patriarchate of Alexandria, and the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Patriarchate of Dimburg.
Due to the rise of Islam, only the Patriarchate of Rome and the Patriarchate of Constantine remained among the five major patriarchates, which were also controlled by Christian regimes.
With the schism in 1054, the Roman Catholic Church and the Constantinian Orthodox Church were born, the two most influential Christian sects in history.
Isabella was anointed with holy oil on her forehead by Irakli, and was then awarded a crown, declaring that she had become the queen of the most sacred kingdom in the East.
As for Garris, he watched from the sidelines.
After the coronation ceremony, Isabella conferred titles on those who had made outstanding contributions in the past three years, and conducted a round of noble canonization.
Then the real highlight begins.
"Here, in the name of the King of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, I declare that the recovery of the lost land has officially begun!"
In front of all the guests, Isabella announced loudly.
At this point, the final counterattack horn was sounded.
Thousands of sails gathered on the island of Cyprus, and the troops at Tire were ready to go. Everything was being prepared. As long as the spring harvest was completed, a complete war of restoration would begin.
Before that, a final talent mobilization was needed to prepare for the subsequent recovery of lost territory.
……
Transjordan, Arnon County, village of Skal.
After Bernard got up from the bed, he kept his head in silence. Today was the last day, and he had to give an answer to the factory today.
Just a week ago, his superiors in the factory suddenly came to him and asked him if he had any intention of working in Tire.
It is said that Tire is in urgent need of manpower. If he is willing to go there, he can help arrange it. After going there, on the one hand, he can get an extra subsidy, and on the other hand, it is the backbone of Bernard's level. After going there, he will definitely If you want to join an agency, you can be considered a promotion.
Bernard was one of the first soldiers to join the team and participated in the first battle at the mouth of the valley in Skar Village. Although he did not want to stay in the army for a long time due to various reasons, he later retired and did not rise to the top with his original comrades.
However, he is still a qualified militia backbone and has brought out many new recruits in the past two years.
When the militia was not gathering, Bernard also served as the chief of the security department in the factory built in the village of Skar.
Of course, the chief of the security department, which is a position in the factory, is at best the backbone of the factory, but is still one level below the management level.
Logically speaking, if you can get a salary increase and promotion in another place, no one would refuse, but Bernard was hesitant.
He first followed the devout lifestyle preached by the sect, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and tidied up his personal hygiene. Then he put on his uniform, tidied up his clothes, and tried his best to control the tiredness in his expression.
No matter what, today is the official day of work in the factory, so you can't let your emotions affect your work.
Bernard's work in the factory is not too tiring, but it does involve risks. He has to ensure the personal safety of the workers and that the property in the factory will not be stolen for some reason.
Although the salary from working in the factory is good and is basically more than enough to support a family, many employees do not have good habits and like to treat things in the factory as their own.
The factory is very strict with this kind of petty theft. Basically, if you are caught once, you will be given a warning and triple compensation, twice you will be demerited and your salary will be deducted, and if you are caught the third time, you will be fired.
Bernard once thought that no one would dare to do this kind of thing again and again, but he happened to encounter it, and he caught it with his own hands.
After that incident, the leaders of the factory went out of their way to talk to him.
"I should have praised you in public for this matter, but I also know that you are actually from the countryside. If I really praised you in public, it would be to roast you on the fire. You have done your job by arresting people. But in the eyes of some people, that means turning your elbows outward regardless of friendship.”
"Another point is that although this matter is worthy of praise, I still want to criticize you. I hope you will not give employees the opportunity to make mistakes next time, and this will require you to increase your burden. People must not take chances. , once they feel there is a chance that they will not be caught making a mistake, they will repeat it again and again.”
Bernard understood the leader's words. Although he had merit in arresting people, this merit was actually Bernard's dereliction of duty. The most important thing for him to do was to nip the problem at its inception and nip it in the bud.
From that day on, Bernard increased the patrol frequency of the security department. The strict defense coupled with severe punishments made many people give up the idea of getting lucky.
And it is precisely because of Bernard's conscientiousness that the number of problems in their factory is the least. He has received many rewards and the leaders in the factory will take care of Bernard. However, he is often criticized for this.
He said that the things owned by the government did not belong to him, Bernard, and so on. He also said that nothing happened in the factory and that he could not see him working...
Of course, there are some words that are not only related to work, but also involve life.
He had a headache when he thought about the co-workers talking behind his back.
"So, maybe changing my position would be more suitable for me?" Bernard thought again of the proposal given by his leader a week ago.
Just when the patrol was over and he was about to return to his office, someone suddenly shouted: "Bernard, the factory director is looking for you!"
"Got it!" Reid responded and walked to the factory director's office.
