Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 54 Appointment of Frontier Corps Commander

This is the only veteran who voluntarily gave up the campaign, but Davers felt that his self-knowledge was particularly rare.

In the end, Triphias was elected.

Next, Kesima was elected governor of Bruti, Latignes was elected governor of Lucania, and the most important region of the kingdom, Turii, was the last to be elected (because the original The Turii Region itself has the nature of a region, and the towns under its jurisdiction occupy most of the newly divided Turii area by Davos. Under the suggestion of several rotating chairmen, Davos finally cancelled the original The administrative unit of the Turii region was approved by the Senate, thus avoiding the conflict between the governor of the Turii region and the regional governor in the future), originally everyone thought that this would be the most intense Therefore, many powerful elders avoided it and went to compete in other regions. As a result, the first name called out by the etiquette officer made the remaining elders who were interested in the election feel a little cold: "Lord Alexis!"

The Minister of Military Affairs Alexis is also involved in the election, so he is likely to represent the opinions of the entire army to send the elders.

"I choose Lord Hiros." Alexis's voice was not serious, but those who were still lucky were hit hard.

He is also a mercenary, he has also made a lot of military exploits for the kingdom, and he has also served as a minister of military affairs, but Hiros is different from Alexis in that he is also very successful in civil affairs, long before the Western Mediterranean War. He has served as the chief executive of many towns, and after he resigned as Minister of Military Affairs, he once went to the Samonay Mountains and became the chief executive of Beneventom. He has excellent political performance and is a rare military and political all-round talent. More importantly, when he expedition to Persia more than 20 years ago, he had a close relationship with King Davos, and now he is one of the ministers trusted by Davos.

Therefore, the result of the last round, which was originally thought to be the most competitive, was completely one-sided. Hiros has won more than 70% of the votes and was successfully elected as the chief executive of the Turii region.

When all the results are settled, the long meeting is finally coming to an end, but the elders are excited and disappointed... and so on, and it seems that they are still unfinished.

Davers kissed his throat and finally said, "Congratulations to the elders who have become regional chief executives. Your efforts in the past political affairs have been recognized by most of your colleagues today. But the promotion of your position brings only Temporary joy, and you will face a bigger test. To manage more towns and govern more people will undoubtedly be much more difficult, and even some of the administrative experience you have gained in the past is in the new government affairs. It may no longer be suitable, which requires you to make more efforts to find out a set of effective ways to govern the region through continuous practice and solving difficulties, which will become the experience that later generations can learn from. I hope you can use these Regional governance has become more prosperous, and it will live up to the recommendation and trust of other elders!

Other veterans who aspire to be one of them in the future, I hope you will continue to work hard,

Get more political achievements to win the approval of my colleagues and me. I believe that you will eventually become the regional chief executive or the kingdom's important minister like them. Because the kingdom has a vast land and a large population, it needs more excellent administrative talents to manage this. A great nation that is still expanding, and you are the elite of the kingdom, and you must take on this responsibility! …”

Davos' remarks drove away the disappointment in the hearts of many elders, and also ignited the expectations of more elders. The meeting came to an end in a warm applause.

A few days later, the elected regional chief executives rushed to the jurisdictions they were responsible for one after another. As the first regional chief executive of the kingdom, the first thing they had to do was to follow the framework of the regional administrative organization formulated by the kingdom administrative department, and select them as they saw fit. officials to enrich the entire governing body.

The recruitment of the Border Guard Corps also started two weeks after the new Immigration Act was announced.

Seeing that things could no longer be changed, the freedmen in the kingdom began to make choices for their future. In the end, many young freedmen came to Turii, and according to the requirements of the announcement, flocked to the Turii military camp to prepare for registration and selection. Become a mercenary soldier of the Kingdom of Dionia.

At the same time, the newly promoted two legion commanders also went to their new stations to serve. Patroclus went north to Rome to take over the XIV Legion and replace Plintors (Printors in the Western Mediterranean) He also made outstanding achievements in the war, and Davos wanted to reuse it, but considering that he was from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade and was later directly transferred to the staff office, he lacked further familiarity with the affairs of the legion and the experience of serving in the legion. In order to In order to avoid being criticized in the future, he was specially asked to form a new army in the Latinum area after the war. After a few years, his performance was satisfactory, and Davos considered it was time to transfer him back to take charge of the work of the General Staff Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs. ). Sextus sailed to southern Iberia to take over the corps of the XVIII Legion, replacing Calsidis.

After the Western Mediterranean War, Karsidis, who used to be the first captain of the Eighth Legion, was promoted to the legion commander because of his dedication to Serinus, but he was too senior and too junior. Under the suggestion of Davos, he took the initiative to apply to go to southern Iberia to form the Eighteenth Army.

This was indeed the hardest, most tiring, and most troublesome job, because at that time the kingdom of Dionia could not fully control southern Iberia, and most of the territory was still governed by members of the Margonid family, and the people under its jurisdiction Either the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, or the Iberian natives, and the Dionysians immigrated here very rarely, so Karsidis received a lot of restraints after this, but he still overcame many difficulties , After several years of hard work, the Iberian military camp was built, the Eighteenth Army was formed, and the citizens there were trained as far as possible in accordance with the requirements of military law. However, Karsidis was obviously unable to be as hands-on as other legions, and coupled with the lack of cooperation from many local officials, the Eighteenth Legion was not very effective in defending against the invasion of the territory by the Iberian natives.

Now that Bagule has become the new regional chief, he will increase the management of the territory, eliminate those unqualified officials, and will add a border army to the southern Iberia region, the eighteenth that has been in a defensive posture. The Legion finally had a good opportunity to fight back. It is a pity that at this time, Karsidis was transferred back to Turii, which may become his great regret.

Not long after that, the Ministry of Military Affairs also announced the long-awaited names of the commanders of the two border armies that were being formed.

One is Stephros, who was the captain in the Western Mediterranean War, but his exploits were not as dazzling as that of his friend Patroclus, so he was promoted to the army commander two years later, but because there was no vacant position, he has been He was in charge of training team officers in the Turii military camp, and now there is finally a real shortage.

Although in the eyes of many Dionysian generals, the soldiers of the Frontier Legion are all composed of free people, which seems to be lower than the existing legion, but according to the regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs, its legion commander and officers at all levels The rank of the corps is the same as that of the other legions, and at this stage, they are all served by the regular officers of the kingdom (the squad leader is not an officer).

The name of another legion commander surprised the generals: Hasdrubal, who was once the main force against the Dionian army in the Western Mediterranean War and the main member of the Magnid family.

Why would it be him? ...Many generals were puzzled, and some even quietly approached the Military Affairs Department for inquiries.

The reason for the disclosure is: Hasdruba is the elder of the kingdom, and he is also a senior officer of the kingdom (after southern Iberia was merged into the kingdom of Dionia, the Iberian army commanded by Marco was ordered to disband, but considering Due to Hasdruba's prestige among the local people, and in order to facilitate the formation of a new army in Iberia, Davos specially set up a senior military post for him - the military training officer in the southern region of Iberia. It is hoped that he can call on the local people to actively participate in military training, and the real and specific affairs will be completed by a group of military training officers, but Hasdrubal obviously did not take this position seriously. The double blow of defeat and surrender and the inability to Mastering the real military power has made him decadent for several years, but this military post has never been removed from him). At the same time, he followed Margo to fight in Iberia for 10 years, and he has rich combat experience fighting fierce indigenous people in the mountains, which is precisely what he needs to borrow in the next border defense operations.

The real reason why Davos appointed him as the commander of the frontier army was: after the transfer of several important members of the Margonid family, such as Hakka and Hasdruba, out of southern Iberia, the kingdom will not fully understand this. The area under the rule is focused on rectification, not only in civil affairs, but also in the military. Therefore, making Hasdrubal the commander of the kingdom's army and letting him willingly serve the kingdom can take advantage of his weakened influence. The hostility of the soldiers of the former Iberian army officers living in that area to the kingdom gave them renewed hope, thus ensuring the stability of the area.

Of course, Hasdrubal is indeed a military talent, which is also an important reason why Davers is willing to reactivate him. However, Hasdrubal was not familiar with Dionia's military system and tactics, and he had to be deeply involved in the recruitment and training of the freedmen in order to truly become a commander of the Dionysian kingdom. After that night's banquet, in Davers' frank conversation with him, he finally expressed his willingness to make an effort in this regard.
