Chapter 127: Preparations for the Great War (2)
Davers could understand his mood at this time, so he walked over, put his hands on the old man's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will do my best to save our valiant soldiers, if Dionysius dares to torture and kill them again, then I will kill all the soldiers of Syracusea, and there will be no one left!" β
Now Dionia was at a disadvantage in this war, but when Davers said these words, it made the two senators feel as if the victory was in the hands of this young man, and it was an indescribable self-confidence that made them disappear cleanly from the more or less wavering in their hearts because of the bad situation in the previous battle.
"Lord Sedorum." Davers turned to another Bruti patriarch and praised loudly: "As far as I know, in this rebellion, except for Bissinia, the northwest region of Bruti centered on Vig City is the most stable, and there are no anomalies in it, and you and Lord Saru have played an important role in it!" It's because of you that I don't have to worry about Petaru and their rebellion at all! β
"Your Majesty, you've won the prize! We are citizens of the Ionian Union, and it is our duty to maintain the unity of the Union and the stability of the region! What's more, as Bruti people, we don't want another war in the Bruti area! Sedorum, who usually has a city government, said this sincerely.
Davers looked at him, and before slowly walking back to his seat, he also had a decision brewing in his heart: "Petaru's rebellion is just a small abscess on the Alliance, I have more important enemies to deal with, and I can't deal with it myself for the time being, but this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, if it drags on for a long time, it will not only affect the normal life of the people of Bruti, but also involve a lot of our strength and energy, and we can't put them into the real decisive battle with Syracuse, so I decided-"
Davers was about to say what he thought, when Rodom, the captain of the guard, walked into the tent: "Your Majesty, the two Lords Kunograta and Cornerus ask to see you. β
"They're just in time, let them in." Davers thought for a moment to know what they were coming from, and hurriedly said.
"Yes!" Rodom immediately turned around and went out, without glancing at his uncle the whole time.
Therefore, Davers praised: "Rodom is now a good captain of the guard, and I think he is more than capable of carrying out more important tasks!" β
When Bajilipi heard this, his heart suddenly felt excited, but he said modestly: "There is no more important task than serving as a guard for Your Majesty!" β
Davos laughed: "Young people need more experience, stay by my side all the time, there is no future." β
"Your Majesty, you really know how to laugh ......"
While the three of them were chatting, Kunograta and Cornerus walked into the tent and saw that Bachilipi and Sedorum were also in the tent, and they were stunned for a moment, and then greeted each other with a smile.
"My lords, I have a few suggestions to discuss with you." As soon as Davers invited them to sit down, he immediately got to the point.
"Big ...... Your Majesty, please speak! "Kunograta and Cornerus straightened up.
"The rebellion caused by Petaru, Kadurk, Bergam and others in the Buruti area must be resolved as soon as possible, and the situation in the Bruti area must be stabilized so that this area can become one of the important forces in our next fight against Syracuse." Davers said in a firm tone: "Therefore, I propose to send Sedorum as the administrator of Cosenza, and at the same time as the wartime governor of the Bruti region, responsible for the security of the entire Bruti region except Bissinia, maintaining the stability of the region, and also having the administrative power of the entire region, and Knappetia and Vig must also accept their orders." β
As soon as these words came out, the other four were stunned.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to ...... To appoint Sedorum as governor, the kind of Persians...... Governor! Cornerus stammered.
"This is not the kind of governor of the Persians! And not the governor of Sparta! Davers blamed Cornerus a little for the fuss: "You all heard clearly! The Governor of Bruti during the war, to which I have just spoken, had only the power of law and administration, and had no power to collect taxes or military power. And this is a temporary appointment, which will be canceled when the war is over. Butβ"
"During the war, I think it's very important to set it up!" In the event of a major change, several chief executives of Buruti do not dare to advocate arbitrarily, and they still need to consult the Senate back and forth, unable to formulate targeted plans in time to deal with them, and unable to gather the resources and forces of the entire region to deal with the greater crisis, which will only lead to greater and greater dangers, and finally out of control...... With the wartime governor in charge of Bruti's affairs, you can deal with it in time! β
"Your Majesty, there is some truth in what you say. But, Sedorum isβ" Cornelus was about to say more, but Kunograta secretly pulled him and asked loudly, "Your Majesty, Sedorum is the governor of Cosenza, so is Shilos going to be recalled?" β
"No, I don't. Shilos was reappointed commander of the Bruti region, where he was responsible for commanding troops and assisting the wartime governor in stabilizing the situation in Bruti. "Davers has thought about it for a long time.
I see! Kuno Gorata was no idle man, and immediately understood what Davers meant: he thought that Davers's sudden proposal to "create a new office of such authority" was indeed an appropriate move to deal with a volatile region during the war. As for Sedorum to take the position, aside from the wariness of aliens in his heart, he also thought it was a wonderful proposition, because it showed the absolute trust of the Dionian Senate in the Brutians. At the same time, let the Brutis manage the Brutis is more acceptable to the Bruti people in this sensitive period......
And Davers only let Shilos control the military power of Bruti, so that he completely relaxed about Davers's seemingly risky proposal. It is said that Shilos will obey the command of the governor in wartime, but once this governor has a different heart, who will Shilos who is loyal to Davers listen to? Do you need to ask!
Kunograta took a deep look at Davers, a young man who often had such seemingly unrealistic proposals, but they were effective and reasonable in their implementation. Officially, such a deep political skill made Cuno Gorata respect and awe Davers, so when Davers made a major political decision, he usually did not take the liberty of opposing it, including his previous kingship.
"Your Majesty, I agree with your proposal, 'Let Sedorum be appointed Governor of Cosenza and Wartime Governor of the Bruti region, while Shilos will be reappointed commander of the Bruti region.'" Kunograta immediately agreed.
Cornerus also figured it out at the moment, so what if he didn't agree? Now there are not many senators in the Dionian Senate who can participate in the meeting, Davers, two Buruti senators, one Lucanian senator, Marigi, Mersis, Plecinas, and now there is Kunogorata...... Davers had already received a majority of the votes, and the mild-mannered Cornerus didn't want to upset Davers when he first became king. So, he then reluctantly agreed.
Sedorum did not expect Davers to put him in such an important position, and the whole person was shocked and excited, so he did not pay attention to the wariness shown by Cornerus and the fact that Davers put Shilos in charge of the army. You know, in the past few years since Bruti was incorporated into the Dionian League, the number of Bruti senators who became senators of the Senate was much more than that of Lucanians, but in terms of real power, none of the Bruti senators left Turiyi and became the administrator of any city in Dionia, until last year, Saru was elected as the administrator of Vig, the least important city in the Bruti region, and the Bruti senators have complaints, which is also one of the reasons for Petaru's rebellion. And in the sensitive period of turmoil and racial suspicion in the Buruti region, Davers resolutely entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which is an affirmation of his ability and trust in him, how can he not be excited!
"Your Majesty, I will definitely quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and let Bruti restore peace as soon as possible, so that I can gather soldiers and food resources to fight the Syracuse!" Sedorum immediately made a commitment.
"Do you have a good solution to the rebellion of Bergam and others who have been wandering in the mountains?" Davers asked.
Sedorum knew that this was a test for Davers, and also gave him an opportunity to show his abilities to Kunograta and Carnerus, he thought seriously for a while, and said: "The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and it is not suitable for a large army to attack, I will suggest that Lord Shilos send an army to be stationed near Lake Lara, so that Bergam's rebellious army does not dare to go out of the mountain...... At the same time, a decree was issued that any tribe that helped Bergam or concealed his whereabouts would be considered a colleague, and if discovered, the entire tribe would be reduced to slavery! Anyone who reports the traitor's traces in time will be rewarded, and the tribe that takes the initiative to fight the Judgment Army or even capture Brim will receive the land of the Bergarm tribe as a settlement! If Bergam's men repented and captured Bergam to surrender, the Alliance would forgive their betrayal! In addition, a team of Bruti hunters should be summoned to search for the traces of the rebels in the mountains, and after discovering them, they will continue to harass them, the mountains are sparsely populated, there is no food, and without the help of other tribes, the rebels will soon fall into chaos due to hunger and fear......"
"What do you think of Sedorum's counterinsurgency proposal?" Davers smiled and looked at Kunograta and them.
