Chapter 229 The Disposal Plan for the Samonais

Clotokatax was not surprised. He was with Davos during this time. Davos would ask him questions from time to time when he was dealing with government affairs. information to think about.

At this point he went to the table, staring at the map of Samone and Campania, lost in thought.

By this time, everyone else in the tent kept quiet.

Thormid looked at Clotokatax who was sitting at the table thinking, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

During his time in Ladham, because he often had to help Davos with military affairs, he was with Davos most of the time, and had a long contact with Clotokatax. He witnessed the Dio with his own eyes. The prince of Nia gradually became prudent and thoughtful from the initial warm-blooded and immature, from the initial officials, generals and soldiers to look at him with suspicion, to gradually agree with him, thanks to the teachings of Davos. Fang is also inseparable from his own talents and efforts.

Judging from all the signs, if there is no accident, Clotokatax is likely to be the next king of Dionia! Thormid thought in his mind: In the future, we must try our best to create conditions for our children to have more contact with Krotokatax! At the beginning, I lacked the courage and did not follow Davos to Great Greece from the very beginning. In addition, I had limited talents. Therefore, I have almost reached the end of my current status, but the next generation...

Just as Thormid was thinking about it, Clotokatax had sorted out his thoughts and said to Davos: "Father, if we have completely defeated the Samonai Tribal Alliance, my opinion is... ...these towns of Kautini in the eastern plains of Campania, except Naconia, should be incorporated into Dionia, thus expanding our territory and protecting our alliance ( It refers to the Campania Alliance), and it can also deter the races in the mountains nearby.

But for these Samonite towns in the mountains, it is better for the Samonites to manage them themselves. On the one hand, the Samonei people are rebellious, the tribes there rarely have contact with our Dionia, and the cultural customs are completely different. It is very difficult to send officials to govern, and it is easy to cause conflicts, which wastes the energy and energy of the kingdom. Financial resources; on the other hand, the land in the mountains is barren, the environment is harsh, and the products are not abundant. I am afraid that not many Dionysian citizens are willing to migrate to the mountains of Samona, so it is difficult for us to assimilate the Samonai race in the mountains in a short time. .

Also... The two Samonai races, Pentney and Caracheni, are adjacent to other races in the northern mountains. If we forcibly annex the lands of these two tribes, I am afraid it will arouse the vigilance and hatred of other races, causing unpredictable s consequence.

So I think... it is possible to dissolve the Samonai Tribal Alliance and make these four Samonai tribes become affiliated allies of the kingdom, but still retain the positions of the chief leaders of the major tribes, so as to prevent their strength from being weakened. It can also defend against their former enemies in the north, and reduce our troubles..."

Clotokatax talked eloquently, but before Davos responded, Thormid praised: "Your Majesty, Prince Cloto is very thoughtful, and I think his suggestion makes sense!"

Henipolis looked at Tormide, blinked and said nothing.

Davos showed a gratified smile and said affirmatively: "Clotto, your proposal is very inspiring to me. The Samonai Tribal Alliance should indeed be dissolved. For the complete annexation of the Samonai Mountains, it seems that maybe from now on. It is not yet time, so it is necessary to retain the original political structure of several tribes and allow the existence of big leaders to facilitate the kingdom's control over them..."

Davers agrees with his suggestion,

Excited for Clotokatax.

"But—" Davos turned the conversation, looked at him, and said seriously: "You haven't been careful enough when you think about the problem, and your handling of the Samonais is still relatively rough. The situation of these four major tribes is different. They should also be disposed of differently.

Shirpini, as the largest tribe in Samona, is also the tribe with the most borders with the kingdom's territory. Although its territory is in the mountains, we can't be too indulgent. Beneventum must be incorporated into the kingdom. It is a rare and fertile lowland in the mountains of Samone, and it is not small. I think the prospective citizens and freemen of the kingdom are willing to settle there. And its location is also very important, right in the center of the territory of Shilpini and Caoutini, next to Abenerum and Caoutim, we have it, and we have the stability of the Samonay mountains Southern cornerstone.

In addition, Abenirum has always been friendly with the kingdom, and has contributed a lot in this war, and has become a free city of the kingdom. We should reward it and allow Garni to serve as the chief of Shilpini. The leader, who governs other Shilpini tribes and territories except Bereventum, making it the second Potentia of the kingdom, making it the strength to compete with Pentene and Calacheni in the northern part of the mountains , to secure the northern part of the kingdom.

Cautini, this tribe is quite special. Its territory is either the eastern plains of Campania or the lowlands in the valleys. In fact, it is very suitable for the people of the kingdom to settle. You said right now that the towns of Cautini on the eastern plains of Campania should be incorporated into Dionia, but this appetite is not big enough, since Beneventum is ready to be included in the kingdom's territory, Then Kautim in the west and its surrounding affiliated towns should also be included in our annexation plan, because in this way, the connection between Beneventum and the eastern plains of Campania can be guaranteed. so that it will not be left alone outside the kingdom's domain.

Don't forget Naconia, the people of this territory have been in contact with the kingdom for more than ten years, and they finally joined our side. Logically, we should guarantee their territory. But Nakonia's position is more important. Before, the Samones aggressively attacked the Campania Alliance and captured Pompeii, Herculaneum and other city-states. Now Zantiparis has recovered Pompeii and Herculane. Nimes, so far, the Campania League has not proposed to let us return these two small cities. It is said that the Campania League suffered heavy casualties in this war and did not have enough manpower to cultivate these lands. My opinion It is to send messengers to negotiate with the Campania Alliance to incorporate these two small cities into Dionia—"

Henipolis' eyes lit up and interjected: "In this way, Bereventum, Cautim, the former town of Cautini in the eastern plains of Campania, as well as Pompeii, Herculane, Nimes can be connected to the kingdom of Enona, but... Naconia is a hindrance..."

Davos said confidently: "We can negotiate with the Nakonians to move them north of Capua, where there is the Voltuno River and the land is more fertile, we can allow them to have more than what they have now. more territories in Nakonia, and at the same time allow them to elect the great chiefs of Kautini, who govern the northernmost areas of the former Kautini territory that are adjacent to Sidisini, Oronci, and Pentene. The Kautini tribe, I believe they will be willing, so that we can completely occupy the land in the central and southern parts of Kautini, and connect with Enona to completely guarantee the security of our newly occupied land.

For the two tribes, the Penteney and the Caracheni, their tribal settlements and towns were in the mountains north of Samone, where the mountains were higher and the roads were more difficult to walk. In particular, the Karacheni tribe is said to be inhabited in the mountains of one kilometer high, so its land is more barren and the population is not large. We really don’t need to occupy their land, but they must submit to the kingdom, and the leaders of their tribes must hand over their children and send them to Turii as hostages. The elected leaders must be confirmed by the kingdom before they can serve as …”

After listening to Davos's plan to deal with the Samona Tribal Alliance, Clotokatax said convincingly: "Father, your plan is much stronger than mine! It is indeed better than I thought about it carefully!  …”

"That's because you are too merciful to the Samonai tribe, and you do not fully consider the issue from the standpoint of obtaining greater benefits for the kingdom, weakening our enemies to the greatest extent, and making them powerless to rebel. "Davers pointed it out sharply.

"Father, but—" Clotokatax asked: "Hilpini and Cautini can accept your plan, but Pentney and Caracheni may not necessarily accept it."

"Then continue to fight until they accept it, and leave this matter to Alexis and Zantiparis. Since the war with the Samonais has already begun, then through this war, even if it costs more, Completely solve the problem of the Samone people and prevent them from rebelling in the future!" Davos warned him earnestly.

Clotokatax nodded thoughtfully.

Davos turned back and said, "Herney, what I said just now, have you heard the plan for the disposal of the four Samonai tribes?"

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"Then write a letter to the senate in accordance with what I just said, and ask them to pre-arrange the affairs of Samona on this basis. Then write to Alexis and Zantiparis in the same way. A letter to give them a sense of how to adjust their strategy next."

"Understood, Your Majesty, I will write it now," said Henepolis, taking out the papyrus.

The minds of Clotokatax and Thormid are still immersed in Davos's series of plans to deal with the Samonais, thinking about what kind of impact it will have on the Samonais. The interior became quiet, so the writing sound of "Shasha" could be heard.
