Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daveus's words surprised everyone present. They did not expect the king's appetite to be so large. Compared with the tolerance policy adopted by the Samoines more than a decade ago, this time the requirements were much stricter. .

"Your Majesty, the Cautini people will probably not agree to these requests you made!" Cornellus reminded.

"Negotiating is to talk, we put forward some difficult conditions, and then gradually reduce according to Kautini's response until the two sides are satisfied. However, the bottom line is that Lola must be controlled by us, Cautini The position of chieftain must also be re-elected. We cannot allow a person who repeatedly violates the covenant and hates Dionys to stay in this position!" Davers firmly said in an unchangeable tone.

"Your Majesty, with Cautini's current strength, this negotiation condition is not difficult to be realized." Foreign Minister Ansitanos said confidently.

"However, the fiasco of the Cautini people and our subsequent demands are likely to arouse the vigilance of other Samoni races. Before that, they were a little dissatisfied with us, and they were afraid that something new might happen this time." Lucia reminded with some concern.

"I agree with the decision made by His Majesty! Even without this, the Samone’s dissatisfaction with our Dionysians has always been there. As far as I know, the fierce race of Samone will always be The'fiasco for us to wear Dionia and surrender to us' is regarded as a shame, and we always hold hatred for us, and we just want to seize every opportunity to weaken it, so that even if there is hatred in the hearts of the Samonais, there is no strength. There is no way to retaliate against us!" Antaoris said loudly.

Lucias slightly glanced at Antaoris with dissatisfaction. The newly-appointed rotating chairman has been very active recently, and has a tendency to become a leader.

Daveus cast his gaze on him. He felt that he had chosen Antoaris as the rotating chairman, which was indeed a correct decision.Compared with Kunogolata, Anta Oris' ability to handle internal affairs is also not weak, and he is active in doing things. More importantly, he is proactive in cooperating with Davos, so that some of Davos' decisions and proposals can be compared. The smooth execution through the Senate is more powerful than the dead Kunogola Tower.

"Your Majesty, the condition you put forward is really good!" Secretary of State Hilos was not blindly praised. He stood heartily from the perspective of military strategy: "If Lola and Sassella can be obtained, then Can be connected with the town of Nasella in the town of Kautini, which is friendly to us in southern Campania, and the area of ​​Abenirum, which is close to us, among the tribe of Hilpini, and our ally, Kan, is nearby The support of the Pania League, not far south, and our territories, Enona, Poseidonia, and Copsa, can be used to block the Samones in the mountains and limit their invasion and expansion. "

Daphes was pleased that Silos was able to see through his intentions. He coughed and further reminded: "Not only to limit the Samoines, we also need to further speed up their conquest and assimilation. Trapped in the mountains Because of the poor land and lack of food, the Samones in the village either came out to rob or trade with us, which gave us more opportunities. In addition, we must strengthen the military strength of the Dawn area to prevent angry The Samone advanced east and raided our newly conquered territory... By the way, how was the eleventh leg of preparation?

"With the strong support of Lord Antonios, our military camp near Luceria has not only been built long ago, but we have also carried out several rounds of military training..."

After listening to Hilos’ report, Davis tapped the back of his chair with his hand: It seems that Antonios has gone out of the influence of the case of Laodisian, which has not only stabilized the center town of Lucia in Dawney in the past two years. The situation, but also actively cooperate with the military department...

He pondered for a while and said: "Now the selection of the head of the 11th Army Regiment has not been determined. The Military Department should warn the military training officers of the Dawney Barracks that they should pay attention to strengthening the vigilance of the western mountain areas to prevent the invasion of the Samone. Once there is really Enemy situations can temporarily allow Antonios to command the Eleventh Army.

At the same time, you have to tell Melissanda that he is the commander of the Tenth Legion in the Puchti area. Once an abnormal military situation occurs, he immediately supports the Dawn area."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After receiving a clear answer from Silos, Davers turned his attention to Ansitanos again: "How is the Frentani's co-op?"

The Frentani live in the lower mountainous areas north of the Dawney region and close to the Adriatic coast. Although they claim to be a branch of the Samonais, their aggression is not strong and the number is not very large. many.Although the Samoines did not agree with this race, they rarely invaded them. Of course, this may also be related to their barren land.

"Since the Frentani signed a friendly agreement with us, they are no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. They know something about our Dionysia's consistent commitment..." Ansitanos said. , Minister of Commerce Mariji interjected: "Your Majesty, the market we established on the banks of the Devans (Tifernus River, the boundary river between Frentani and Dawn) is now very lively, with large and small Frenta every day The Nepalese tribe brought mountain goods, ore, wood...to exchange commodities such as grain, olive oil, clay pots, etc., which was not as cautious and savage as when Samonay traded with us..."

Daveus nodded and suddenly remembered something, and asked Silos: "I remember the Vrentari people asked us a few months ago,'Can you send a fleet to patrol their coast to drive out the fierce pirates. 'How is this going?"

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Fleet specially dispatched several warships to patrol the coast for them, and also had several battles with pirates attempting to go ashore for robbery. For this reason, Miltias (this is the naval commander of the Fourth Fleet) The military department wrote a letter asking him to increase the warship establishment..." Hilos answered.

"I remember this. I approved the document "On adding five three-tier paddle warships to the Fourth Fleet" submitted by the Ministry of Military Affairs before February." Davers said with a finger, tapping on the table with a groan: " The Frentanians now depend on us far more than the Samonais. If we really have a war with the Samonais in the future, I believe that the Fontaines will eventually be on our side!"

After finishing his talk, Davers turned the subject: "Okay, everyone. Although the negotiations with the Samone have not yet begun, we also need to prepare in advance. Once we have really obtained Lola, Sassella, After the three cities of Capusa, they can send people there as soon as possible to quickly occupy and stabilize the eastern part of the Campania Plain."

The Minister of Household Registration Rafias immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, the registered citizens and free citizens who have been registered in the past few years have been successively allocated to the Apulia region (Apulia region includes Mesaphi, Puchti and Dao Nigeria), there is still a lot of vacant land in the Downey area, but there is not enough new population to fill it, and it has to be classified as the Kingdom’s public land. Unless it is sent to the free people of Dionysia Campania..."

Daveus frowned.If at the early stage of Dionysia’s development, because of the urgency of the situation, he had to adopt such an extreme method, he now no longer wants to use such indiscriminate methods to lower the quality of the entire nation and increase the difficulty of governance.

At this time, Vespasian interjected: "Your Majesty, there are enough new people in the kingdom, they can move to Campania."

Rafaias looked at him in surprise: "Where are you talking about these populations?"

Daphus reacted: "What are you talking about... children in the tribe?"

"In recent years, apart from the old and young, the young and middle-aged people have been going out independently. If it is not because of the slaves, those tribes have some difficulties in grazing..." Weissba lamented the decline of the tribes of Lucania, but He also knows that this is the general trend: "In the past ten years or so, most of the children in the tribes are now grown-ups, and they are more eager to be independent, form a family, and have a place than the tribe warriors, and they Most of them are the reserve soldiers of the Third Army. After they settled in Campania, they can directly become the main force for stabilizing that area and defending the Samonais."

After listening to Daxi's great joy, this not only solved the population problem of moving to Campania, but also solved the remaining tribal problems.As a king, he thought more and turned his head to look at Sedorum: "These tribes of Bruti should also have what Wesbah said?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. But there shouldn't be as many as Lucania." Sedorum replied with thought: "In the Southern Italian War, there was a rebellion in the Bruti area, and there were not many tribes that were completely dismantled and destroyed. ..."

"Then the two adults will go to Lucania and Bruti to count the young people of the tribes who are willing to settle in Campania, and finally report to Rafaias. Once the negotiations with Cautini are completed , Arranged for them to go immediately." Davers finished, and his heart was relieved: the reservation of the Lucania and Bruti tribes was the result of compromise because of the weak strength of Dionia, and later conquered Mesa. Pi and Pucciti were far more rude, and the tribe was completely dismantled from the beginning. Although it caused more turmoil, it also made the two areas completely free of tribal problems.

Now, Davers sees hope for a complete settlement of the tribes of Lucania and Bruti.

"Your Majesty, will the Third Army wait until the negotiations with the Samone are over before leaving?" Hilos asked.
