Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"If the Sidisians are still stubborn and do not listen, then they will summon all the forces that signed the road-building agreement and collectively vote for military punishment for the Sidisians who violated the agreement and repeatedly disobeyed!" Daveus With a majestic face and strong words, "Dionia can sit on the throne of the central Italian leader, relying on our powerful strength. If the Sidisians had to jump out and provoke us, it would be their blood. Establish our prestige!"

"Yes!" Alexis replied slightly excitedly

"Also...After the resolution to form a border force" is passed in the Senate, Ansitanos you go to the Etruscan messenger to see if you can build a avenue from Rome to the northern border of Etruscan, This will help deliver military food and materials to the troops stationed there in the future."

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea! Building a avenue also helps the Kingdom and Etruria to make the trade and personnel exchanges closer!" Marighi said slightly excitedly.

"However, after Gaul's army invaded Etruscan territory, they could also use the avenue to reach Rome more quickly." Lucias expressed concern.

"It's a good thing." Daveus said disapprovingly: "We are not afraid to fight the Gauls head-on. Instead, we hide in the mountains like this and carry out harassment, which is a headache."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to negotiate with the Etruscan messenger on this matter, believing that under the current situation, they should agree to this proposal." Ancitanos responded, he paused briefly, and then said : "Yesterday, envoys of several tribes in West Numbia came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to meet His Majesty."

"For what?"

"It was also the matter of the Masili tribe. They provoked conflict and sent troops to invade the territory of these tribes."

"The Marsili tribe..." Daveus tapped the armrest with his finger and pondered for a moment, saying: "...although at the end of the last war, we had an agreement with the East and West Numisbians and would not interfere with them. Internal affairs, and also had a secret agreement with the Masili tribe...

However, we can no longer ignore the fact that the Masili tribe has continuously invaded other tribes, because this will not only affect the trust of other Numibian tribes, but also a unified Sinuimibia is not in our interest. The ambition of the Masili tribe must be stopped!

Uh... I remember another name in West Numbia called... The big tribe called Padu had an enmity with the Masili tribe and was more compliant with us. You sent someone to secretly contact this tribe and tell them,'Dio Niah supports them to come out to join other tribes against Masili and is willing to provide material support.'"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately." Ansitanos immediately understood, but he thought about it, and reminded: "The Padu tribe and Masili are separated by several tribal territories. The current leader's character Moderately, without actual threats, it may not agree."

Daphes rubbed his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and said: "If Padu refuses our proposal, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs act and convince most of the leaders of West Nubia to apply to the Kingdom together. Strongly urge the Kingdom to intervene in this conflict and restore the peace in West Numbia... In this way, we are not in violation of the agreement."

"Understood." Ansitanos actually had this idea in mind, only to let Davos take the initiative to speak out.

"Your Majesty, are we going to prepare for the conflict in West Numbia?" Alexis asked.

Daveus nodded: "Regardless of the success of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' missions, your military department should presuppose the failure of diplomacy and military intervention, first let the staff do a war deduction, and then prepare in advance according to the deduction situation, so that the real Can come in handy when needed."

"Yes."

Daveus looked at Lucias again and said, "Although Carthage has been quiet for several years, we cannot let our guard down, and the intelligence services will step up its surveillance. Chief Executive Hadrummentum Is it Litagus?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell him this, so he has to be prepared."

After receiving another response from Lucias, Davers looked at the crowd and asked again: "Is there any other questions?"

"Your Majesty, the construction process of the main temple of Hades is accelerating. In two days, after the design of the giant statue on the top of the mountain has been determined, sculpture and modeling will also begin. I believe that before the celebration next year, Lord Hades The temple must be completed," said Heraklide, who created the great city, and asked for help.

"Very good!" Daveus praised lightly. He did not want to talk more about the temple rebuilding at the Executive Council, because at the time, under the proposal of Plessinas, he received many veterans and ministers. Supported, but some still expressed opposition, not only because the war has just been completed, but the country has not yet fully recovered. Some large-scale public buildings have suffered a lot of labor and money, but also because there will be special ceremonies when the main temple is built. People are worried...

"It seems that you have no other problems." Daveus turned the subject and said slowly: "About the last time you put forward'in view of the vast territory of the kingdom, in order to facilitate the governance of the kingdom, I hope to divide the province and the permanent governor. I’ve already made a decision about the post.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately recovered and listened.

In his eyes, Daphes continued quietly: "I think your proposal is correct, just like what I just said, "The situation of the kingdom has changed, the situation has changed, and the old system will follow." Change to adapt to new developments. However, the two words'Province and Governor' are both derived from Persia, and they do not match our Dionysia. I am more accustomed to using'regional and regional chief executive' Two words are used to show the difference between the Kingdom of Dionysia and Persia."

"Regional and Chief Executive..." The two people said these words softly.

"Your Majesty, these two nouns are better, easy to understand, and correspond to our two words "city and city governor", even ordinary people can understand the meaning." Even Ansita, who is a scholar North said this, and other people have no objections.

Daveus smiled and said, "Heny, go and bring the map of the kingdom."

The reason for using the word "lift" is because the map is drawn on a huge wooden board. It is not only painted with the existing territory of the kingdom, but also covers all the regions of the Western Mediterranean, of course, other regions Is not as detailed and accurate as in the kingdom, so that the areas north of the Iberian Peninsula and the Italian Peninsula are basically blurred.

Daveus stepped off the throne, took a long wooden pole from the hands of Henripolis, and used it to mark the map and said, "On the far north side, we have the town of Latham and Etruri north of the Taipo River. The Asian towns were merged into the Roman area, and the Roman Chief Executive was established with the rule of Rome;

The towns of Campania, the towns of Samona, and Enona, which we own, are merged into the eastern part of Campania, under the jurisdiction of Beneventum;

Further south, the towns of the original Lucania and the three coastal towns of Poseidonia, Elia, and Picos are merged into the Lucania region, with the headquarters in Grummentum;

The original towns of Bruti and Laos merged into the Bruti region, and the governorate is in Cosenza;

The former Apulia region is divided into the Dawni region, Puchti region, and Mesapi region according to the original territory of the three races of Dawn, Puchetti, and Mesapi. Ya, Puchti’s seat in Silvim, Mesapi’s seat in Udie;

Herculia and Metapontum are merged into the region of Turriy, the place of governance is still here—"

"Your Majesty, does Bisinia belong to the area of ​​Bruti or the region of Turi?" Sedorum asked softly.

"Oh, I made a mistake just now, Bisinia still belongs to the Turri region." Daveus corrected it immediately, and then said: "Crimisa, Asprostum, Crotone. , Siritine merged into the Crotone region, and its seat is in Crotone;

Trina, Hibernian, Colonia, Medema, and Lockley merged into the southern region of Greater Greece, and the seat is in Trina;

Taurina, Ligim, Messina, Millais, Tindaris, and the unfinished Himera (after the old city of Himera was destroyed by the Carthaginians, no one dared to rebuild there for decades The town, but after the Western Mediterranean War, the whole of Sicily has been placed under the rule of the Kingdom of Dionysia. At the time, Sipros, the governor of Sicily during the war, proposed to rebuild the city of Himera. Two reasons: first, the piece The area is the only relatively wide flat lowland on the northern coast of Sicily, and the soil is fertile, which is conducive to a large population. Secondly, due to the less affected by the war, some Greek city-states on the north coast were not merged after the war. The Kingdom of Ionia, but is attached to Dionysia and became an autonomous city-state like Tarantum. Due to the early surrender of Soros and Palermos, Dionysia kept his promise and allowed them to self-govern La is located right in the center of the north coast, and its establishment is conducive to the stability of the north coast of Sicily.

Daveus paused and said, "Lijim and Messina."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were surprised, but Mariji thought a little, and immediately praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise! Turning Lijim and Messina into a region is conducive to the unified management of the Strait of Messina. Shipping problem! The simultaneous establishment of the institution in Messina and Lijim is more conducive to resolving the conflicts between the people of the two cities and towns for hundreds of years!

In fact, many of the ancestors of the people in these two cities are from the same confederate, and the distance between the two cities is only 10 nautical miles. However, because of the interests, they have been constantly contradictory. Even after joining the kingdom, it is still the same. I have also mediated several times.

This time His Majesty designated both cities as regional administrations, which helped officials and the people to resolve conflicts and improve the efficiency of governance for the common good. This is a great initiative!"

Davers smiled and said nothing.

"But the administration is in Messina and Lijim at the same time, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to manage." Mento Tick Els asked with some doubt.
