Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 1071: The New Administrative Division of the Kingdom (2)

Lucias took the lead and replied: "It's just a little further away and requires a boat ride, but the twin cities of Naxos and Crimea have already provided rich governance experience for this."

Mentor Tick Els gave a "oh", no doubt.

Daveus continued: "Except for Messina, the original Sicilian territory, plus the eastern mountains of Leotini and Sikel (in the Western Mediterranean War, the tribe of Sikel people was gathered by the Carthaginians Destroyed, food was raided, and some tribes betrayed Dionysia...After the war, Dionysia won a lot, some tribes were afraid of being liquidated, some tribes faced the Dionysian army in order to survive Under the mediation of threats and diplomatic goodwill, they successively chose to submit to the kingdom, which caused a domino effect. After a year, the entire mountain area of ​​West Kyle was finally merged into the Kingdom of Dionysia), merged into the East and West Sicily area, and ruled by the card Tanai

Tounis, Syracuse and its original sub-states, Kamalina, Pachnus, the whole south-east corner of the Western Mediterranean merged into the Syracuse area, and the seat is Syracuse;

Then, Germer, Minoa, Agrigento, Ekoms, Gera, and the central mountain region of Siquel included from Enna to Kefaluoitian merged into the South Sicily region. In Agrigento;

The remaining towns in Sicily and the Sikan region (after the war, the Sikan people, who suffered heavy casualties, feared the revenge of the Sikels, and actively surrendered to the Kingdom of Dionysia), merged into the western region of Sicily, under the jurisdiction of Lilly;

Taking Saros as the dividing line, the northern half of Sardinia is divided into the northern region of Sardinia, and the governorate is in Sarros;

And the regional governor of southern Sardinia is in Kalaris;

The original Carthage in all areas controlled by Corsica became the Corsica region, with Alenia as the ruler;

Carthage is placed under our southern Iberia to become the kingdom's southern region of Iberia, ruled by Sisi;

There are nineteen regions in total."

Everyone listened carefully to Davies’s narrative and pondered these new administrative divisions. Obviously, after careful consideration, King Davis made careful divisions for the comprehensive consideration of ease of management and trade development: Yes The area is large, but the population per unit area is not too large, such as Lucania and southern Sicily; some areas are small, but densely populated, such as the Crotone area; some areas are small There is a small population, but it is very important for the Kingdom. For example, the Corsica region is rich in precious metal reserves, especially tin... But even so, everyone still has some doubts.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten Hadrum Mentum of Africa?" the careful Antaoris reminded.

"I haven’t forgotten that although Hadrumentum is small in size, its location is very important. It is adjacent to Carthage and East Numbian, and is under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom for the time being, so that we can timely and accurately Get the situation there and respond in a timely manner." Davers' answer made everyone feel reasonable, so no one raised any objections.

"Your Majesty, the area of ​​southern Iberia is too large. The area is the sum of many of our other regions. It only seems that it is not a good place to turn it into one area." The steady Lucias was worried.

Daphes explained with some helplessness: "Although the Carthages conquered southern Iberia, it was only conquest, and it was far from completely turning it into its own. It was still far away. Except for the coastal towns, the people are basically the original In addition to the Carthage and Phoenicians, the inland areas are almost governed by tribes in southern Iberia.

After we took over, there were very few people from the Kingdom who colonized there, and the officials sent there were still familiar with the situation there. Except for those mines that were operated by businessmen from the Kingdom, the political structure there did not change much. With the vast vacant land and insufficient population of the entire kingdom today, it is not possible to immigrate to it in a short period of time to change the composition of its population ratio. It is better to temporarily maintain the status quo to ensure the stability of the area...at least from now on , The governor of the region, Haka, is still very active in cooperating with the Kingdom’s requirements and acting strictly in accordance with the laws of Dionysia..."

"Sir Haka really knows the whole thing, but it has violated Dionysia's law for a long time in a region, and I heard that his physical condition is not too good..." When Sedorum said here, He turned to the medical secretary Helps for consultation.

Helps responded faithfully: "According to the medical records we sent back to the doctors who treated him, he had a bad heart since he was young, he could not cure it, and he should not be too tired!"

"So it is better to be able to transfer him back to Turiyi for an important post, and at the same time he can better cure the disease... At the same time, let our officials take over Iberia earlier, which is also conducive to its faster integration into the kingdom." Sai Dorum went on to make suggestions.

Daphes was lost in thought.

Several ministers such as Lucias and Sedorum passed each other's eyes, but none of them spoke.

After all, Iberian Governor Haka’s identity is too special, he not only surrendered to the head of the Carthage Margonide family of Dionysia (Half a year after the end of the Western Mediterranean War, Marco, who has been in a coma, finally died. Death, although it stands to reason that the Patriarch of the Margonide family should have Hasdrubal to inherit, but most of its family members hope to be served by Haka, who has a gentle personality and is more important to King Davers, which is more important to the family. Favorable, and Hasdruba himself did not intend to take on this important task, so despite Haka’s repeated refusal, he eventually took this position, but he repeatedly said modestly that he was only acting as the patriarch for his brother. This position"), and because he has long been in charge of government affairs in southern Iberia, both in the original officials and local indigenous people are more prestigious, not to mention he is a relative of King Davis.

Also considering these issues, Davos carefully considered it and replied cautiously: "This matter... I have to ask Haka himself first. If he agrees to come to Turri, do you think Bagu Can Le succeed in taking over southern Iberia?"

At the beginning, after the southern part of Iberia was merged into the Kingdom of Dionia, in order to stabilize the situation there, Daves promised not to replace the officials there in the short term, but he sent a group of Dionysia officials with strong administrative capabilities to go to The towns in southern Iberia served as the deputy of the original officials, and the leader was Baku.

It would seem undoubtedly to have a heavy minister of the kingdom to serve as the administrative deputy in the newly relegated area, but Daveus considered that Bakul had served as a major town in the Kingdom of Grummen Toum, Cosenza, and Udie. The Chief Executive not only has outstanding political achievements, rich experience, but also is good at handling local indigenous affairs, so he is the most suitable person, so he specially invited the Bakul family to participate in the royal family banquet, and carried out a heart-to-heart talk with Bakool After talking, Bagul accepted the appointment and went to southern Iberia.

"Your Majesty, judging from the fact that Bagul returned to the Senate last year to report on government affairs, he has not only been familiar with the political situation in southern Iberia, but also made local officials familiar with him. Some officials are also willing to cooperate with him in doing things. And he also made friends with many Iberian indigenous tribal leaders in the territory and won their trust. I think the problem should not be great, but he should first seek his own opinion." Hermon first Complimented Bagul and praised his opinions carefully.

Davers tapped the location of Iberia on the map with a wooden stick. After a while, he asked aloud: "If Haka chose to come to Turiri, what position would be more appropriate for him?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

As mentioned before, Haka’s identity is too special. He is already a veteran of the Kingdom (although he rarely participates in meetings of the senate), and he is also the Governor (regional chief, although it is only a post-war compromise), and he is already a kingdom. Heavy ministers, even the rotating chairperson of the Senate and ministers of various departments are only at the same level as his current duties, and now there are important positions in all departments with people in place and no vacancies. As for temporarily leaving them idle, I am afraid they will risk quite a bit. There is a big risk, because it will misunderstand the original people and officials in southern Iberia, and feel that the kingdom will start to kill and kill donkeys, which may cause turmoil in southern Iberia...

While everyone was silent, some people also complained about Sedorum, thinking that he shouldn't have done anything more, which made everyone ride a tiger now.

Davies glanced across the faces of everyone, and then said slowly: "I see it is better to set up a rotating chairman and let Haka serve, what do you think?"

Everyone was stunned.

Sedorum, who has felt resentment, responded first: "I support His Majesty's decision. Now that the number of veterans has increased, the five rotating chairmen are not enough to represent all veterans, especially those from Phoenicia. Position, Lord Haka’s role as the rotating chairman is in line with the needs of the kingdom!"

Where do these 10 Phoenician veterans come from?More than half are not from western Sicily or southern Iberia, but from Sardinia. Although some Phoenician city-states of Sardinia chose to surrender in the Western Mediterranean War, Dionysia did not allow it They can choose self-government like their compatriots in Sicily. In the past, Carthage could completely control the entire island of Sardinia for the sake of benefit. Of course, Dionysia can also force all these city-states to be merged into the Kingdom of Dionysia.The Sardinian people who had been ruled by the Carthaginians for a long time did not have strong political demands. As soon as Dionysia was tough, they obeyed. However, in order to appease the local people and facilitate governance, the Kingdom chose some of the island’s The figure of fame enters the Senate.
