Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 938

[Chapter 285 Davos’ hidden worries]

“This issue, after you discuss it with Georgris, implement it yourself.” Davos tapped his fingers on the dining table and said solemnly: “Assi, you mentioned the river port just now, and now the merchant ships from Greater Greece to Rome. , with Casreira and Antium as transshipment ports, it is quite troublesome to go to Rome by land or by water, so in order to better develop Rome in the future, Ostia must be rebuilt as soon as possible.

As for the population The problem, it happens that we want to return Antium, Vilitre and Satnicum to Wolsey, then move the population of these three cities to Ostia (actually, only two The population of the city, the people of Satnicum have been infected with the plague, and there are not many left)…”

Asistes looked embarrassed, he said: “Your Majesty, your proposal is very good! But whether it is Rebuilding Ostia, or relocating the population of the three towns, is beyond my duty as the administrator of Rome.”

Davos smiled slightly: “Probably the new appointment letter from the Senate will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you will Appointed as the wartime governor of the Latium region.”

Davos’s words were beyond Asisters’ expectations, making him a little unbelievable, after all, the governor in the kingdom of Dionia is recognized as the most powerful High-ranking officials, many veterans are rushing for this, but so far only Sedorum, Cypros, and Antonios have served. These three people are outstanding, and each represents a large force, and now he himself is crowded. Entering the top ranks of the kingdom’s political arena, he was both excited and nervous, and his voice trembled a little: “Your Majesty… You mean to let me… be the governor of the Latinum region?!”

“Why? You don’t want to. ?” Davos looked at him with a half-smile.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me, and I will do my best to fulfill the duties of the governor!” Asisters immediately expressed his gratitude to Davos. He was very clear in his heart: without Davos’s strong recommendation , Given that he is not yet 50 years old, it may be difficult to sit in this position.

“Promoted to the governor, the power is greater, but the responsibility is also greater!” Davos said with a solemn expression: “The Latinum region is the center of the kingdom’s expansion strategy to the north. There are many races here, and the relationship is complicated. In an area where wars are frequent, as outsiders, our people are mainly local indigenous people – Latins. How can we ensure the security of our territory here? How can we ensure the stability of the entire region? How can we make the people here support the kingdom? … These are the issues that you need to focus on and solve urgently next. I hope you can work together with the administrators of Antrapolis, Nicomachus, Telis, etc. to strengthen the relationship between the towns here. Contact and exchange, make our territory here into a monolith, and lay the foundation for the next step to continue northward!”

Asisters nodded vigorously, his expression was solemn, and he did not speak, obviously feeling the pressure.

Davos patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: “I believe that with your ability, you can handle this new position well! If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can also write to me directly!”

Yaxi Steth’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Davos turned his head to look at the commander of the Fifth Army: “Accompanying the letter of appointment of Asisters, there is another letter of appointment issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, Gio Gris, you will be appointed as the commander of the Latinum region!”

“Me?!” Giorgris was extremely surprised, his mouth was half-open with food stuffed in his mouth, looking a little funny, he hurriedly shook his head: ” I can’t! I can’t! This position should be taken by Amyntas…Matonis…Lizaru…even Olivers…one of them,

because they have all done quite a lot!”

“Whoever has the most military exploits and who has seniority is not the primary factor for becoming the commander of the Latinum region.” Davos took a sip of wine and said seriously: “It’s the first thing to see who is the most suitable! When I was in the camp When we announce which legion is willing to stay in Ladrum, only if you actively request to stay, the attribution of this commander position has been decided! Now is the time of war, Ladium is the area we just conquered, and the kingdom needs a commander The officer sits here, but he does not need him to actively expand, but he needs to strictly restrain the army, at the same time train the soldiers patiently, carefully pay attention to the situation in this area, and prevent any possible accidents.

And when the enemy really appears , he not only has to command his own legion, but also command the reserve troops of the towns, as well as coordinate and command the allied armies of the entire Latinum region, and you happen to be the most suitable candidate!”

“Giogris, congratulations! I also think that you are the most suitable candidate for the commander of the Latinum region, and I hope we can cooperate happily and jointly maintain the political stability of this region!” Asisters also sincerely congratulated Georgris.

Giorgris no longer delayed, he thanked Davos, and said: he will definitely fulfill his commander’s duties and protect the Ladrum area!

………………………………

Davos sent off two of the kingdom’s most prominent subordinates in the Latham region.

After the servants removed the banquet in the living room and cleaned it up, only Davos and Clotokatax were left in the living room.

“What do you think of their appointment?” Davers asked his son suddenly.

“Lord Asistes has outstanding abilities and is convincing to be the governor of Ladrum! But Lord Geogris…” Although Clotokatax did not finish his words, he had already revealed his thoughts.

Davos looked at him and asked seriously: “Before I came to Rome, you were there at the military meeting held at the Sartnicum barracks, and when I suggested, ‘Before I set out for Sicily, I needed to be in Latinum. When staying behind in a legion’, in addition to Geogris’ willingness to express his willingness, have other legion commanders also expressed this willingness?”

Clotokatax answered simply: “No! Even Lord Amyntas thinks, ‘Latin has been completely conquered, there is no need to stay in the Legion.'”

Davos sneered: “So this kind of Is it worth advocating to only pursue one’s own honor and gain more military exploits, rather than taking the overall situation into consideration and sacrificing one’s own interests?”

Clotokatax thought thoughtfully: “…So father, you Is it a reward for him to make Giorgris the commander of Ladrum, and it is also a silent criticism of other legion commanders?”

Davos nodded lightly and said, “Also, Georgris usually sees It seems a little clumsy, unlike Amyntas, Matonis, they are courageous and active, but he can complete every task given to him, and so far, his legion is the least casualty.”

Crotoka Tucks thought back carefully: Indeed, the 5th Corps is the most complete army.

“So based on these two points, Giorgris is undoubtedly the most suitable person to serve as the commander of Ladrum among these army commanders.” Davos warned softly: “Kloto, as a superior, don’t take personal Your likes and dislikes affect your judgment on your subordinates. Only based on his performance in actual affairs and his behavior at critical times can you make an accurate evaluation of him, and assign him a suitable position, so that he can exert his greatest ability. “…”

Clotokatax nodded earnestly after listening to it, indicating that he understood.

Davos coughed lightly and asked again: “Do you have any other thoughts on Assistus being the governor of Ladrum?”

Clotokatax was surprised and asked: “Father, Is there anything wrong with this appointment?”

Davos looked at him with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Assisters has nothing wrong with him, he is indeed the most suitable candidate for Governor Latam! However, you should not ignore his background. His uncle Antonios is now the governor of the Downey region, and his father-in-law Vespa is now one of the rotating chairmen of the Senate. The prestige among the Lucanians is very high, and it also has a lot of prestige in the Senate.

This time, the Apulia region was harassed by the remnants of the previous fleeing forces, and the Pucherti region became the focus of the attack. There is a proposal to make Sylvim administrator Bagule the wartime governor of Puchetti… If I approve this proposal, then three governors plus a rotating chairman of the Senate, and Asisters as this power The core figure in the relationship network, he will inevitably become the most powerful person in the kingdom of Dionia, besides me, what do you think about this?”

Clotokatax did not think of this level before. , he was surprised at first, and then fell into thought, but in the end he couldn’t help but persuade: “Father, I heard that Lord Asisters has been following you when he was in Persia, and is one of your most reliable men, You shouldn’t be suspicious of him.”

Davos’ expression became serious: “Son, of course I know that Asisters is loyal to me, and I even know that he rejected Antonios’ wooing more than 10 years ago, There is no support in the Senate for Antonios’ choice of Naxos prefect. However, constant vigilance in power is a basic ability that a king must have! Power is prone to corruption, and highly centralized power is even more It is easy for people to become ambitious, use power for personal gain, trade money and power, and even rebel and cause wars… I believe you should have a lot of understanding when you study the past history of Mediterranean countries with Ancitanos in the academy.
