"Our emperor tightens the strings, and the Parthian emperor pulls the bowstrings." -- The people wrote limericks satirizing Nero

First of all, by invoking the face of the Spanish local heroes and leading figures into the Senate, Li Bida actually coerced them to go to the city of Rome as hostages, thereby eliminating the independent status of the free city and the tribes. Then he also wanted to expand the bureaucracy of the Executive Yuan, from top to bottom, the Executive Yuan will become the core of the country's executive power, not the Senate, Li Bida preliminarily decided: to retain the tradition of the two consuls governing together, of which the chief consul is also the chief executive of the Executive Yuan, and the high priest and the life tribune; The second consul, on the other hand, was responsible for convening the assembly of the Senate and for the construction of the contractor, and the office of the highest civic of the city of Rome; In addition, the departments of the Executive Yuan will be further subdivided, and will be divided into the Academy Department, the Examination Department, the Military Department, the Civil Engineering Department, the Equipment Department, the Administration Department, the Supervision Department, and other parts, and this body will become the foundation of the elite of the high priest to control the country.

This is not an exaggeration.

But Li Bida did not stop, and he soon conducted a grand review of the fifteen legions under his command on the outskirts of Korduba, and the high priest himself stood on the high platform of the erected earth, holding a sharp sword, and nearly 80,000 soldiers below were in good order, shouting the slogan "For the glory of the high priest" and walked across the review stand.

Then. Li Bida personally awarded many honors to the hundred-man team, the wing, and the brigade with a brand new flag: the brigade famous for field battles. The logo of the golden hare was added to its team logo; Famous for attacking fortifications. It has a hammer logo; It is famous for guarding the palace, and the turtle shell logo is added; If the shooting is terrifying, the team logo of Pegasus is affixed to it; The cavalry wings, known for their galloping formations, had their standard-bearers carry the flying flags used by the Sarmatians and Dacians; The loyal and serviced wings, the hundreds, were inlaid with gold trim and golden wheat tassels on their flags of fire tongue, and the rewards were even worse, and all the soldiers swore an oath that "they must cherish the honor of their ranks." Hold the banner in your hand forever, and treat it as the same object of protection as the Legion Eagle Banner, and never let the enemy take it. ”

"From now on, your salary, your pension, and your resettlement property will be drawn from the taxes of the state, and from your personal funds, so that the wanton killing and looting from now on will not be permitted, because remember that the flag is your honor, and it cannot be tarnished by evil deeds. This kind of military virtue is comparable to the brave behavior on the battlefield. This is the new concept of the high priest governing the army.

"After the end of the war. Strive to reduce the main army corps to twelve, of which four are veteran legions and eight recruit corps, which are stationed at key points on the country's military frontier; Thirty locally recruited auxiliaries, mainly from the boroughs, were to be garrisoned in small fortifications on the frontier using bows, spears, and horses, under the command of the envoys and governors, and to accompany the main army in battle. This work must be done, otherwise the country's finances will not be able to afford so many legions, and for this we will have to prepare for the discharge of 150,000 to 200,000 soldiers. After the review, Li Bida put down the thick document a little tiredly, sat on the circle chair, and said to the staff around him, "Ladies and gentlemen, the new voyage has just begun, the waves and storms will not stop, everyone must be conscientious, loyal and diligent, and sail the ship of the country well." ”

"Head to the Legion Deployment Chart of the Greek Theater immediately, Your Excellency." With that, a clerk continued to push the work before the high priest.

Li Bida, who was helpless, could only continue to observe with a strong spirit, and Yulia beside him waved his hand, signaling the other people waiting to retreat for the time being, and stop disturbing with official duties, the high priest needed to rest.

"Leave four legions to carry out the pacification work, and the rest of the legions will arrive on the island of Sardinia with me first, and then make preparations for the expedition." Li Bida marked the number of the legion left behind by the garrison with a hook pen, and then yawned and gave an order to the paper.

About a market day later, the autumn sun began to spread among the mountains and rivers of Iberia, and to the south of the city of Corduba, in a quiet farmstead under the majestic and beautiful snow-capped peaks of Nevada, the high priest's guard quietly arrived, the bell on the porch rang, and several servants hurried out to bow down to greet her, while the little pigeon Paluma and his wife, Fanlen Juanna, who had just come from Orleans, stepped out, half-knelt under Julia's shoulder, took her adoptive mother's hand, and led her and Mr. and Mrs. Libida into the house.

"The view of this place is good, and it is worth the price of the 100,000 dinars of silver that I gave Yulia and me." Li Bida sat under the flower corridor and said to his adopted son, "Your father-in-law is here to live for a long time, which is also appropriate. ”

"Yes, mainly because my adoptive father is reluctant to go back to Rome." At this time, the wife and son of Highburida also hurried out to greet the nobleman, and the little pigeon couple explained.

"So it seems that his mind is still clear?" The High Priest said curiously, and several servants lifted Hybrida out of the movable bed frame, and the High Priest looked at the eternally low-ranking centurion in the sun, and the other man's head still had a wire frame left over from the skull, and it jingled when it shook, "Who am I?" The high priest pointed to himself and inquired about Hebrid.

"You're a damn amphora." Highbridar muttered.

The whole scene was dead silent, and the servants looked at each other with horrified expressions, for no one dared to speak to Lybidaeus in their knowledge.

Who wants the high priest to laugh and say that you are right, you are right.

"What wing are we in?" This is the second question of Li Bida.

"Long live the Triple Wing, long live the Bacchus Legion!" High-Bridder turned her head and shouted loudly.

"Adiana, do you remember?"

"That little in Pontus, of course I remember, I would have persuaded you to her a long time ago."

Then, Li Bida stood up and said to Hebrida's wife, who was wiping her tears, and Fan Lunjuna, "It seems that he can only remember what happened twenty years ago." ”

She gestured to a manservant next to her, and the manservant took out a trumpet and blew it - Heybrida immediately rose from the bed frame and shouted, "The triad is armed and attacking the enemy, don't wait for the bastard of Utteris, take the camp, the spoils are all brother's!" With that, he leaned straight back and fell back on the bed frame, his eyes fixed.

Li Bida sighed, then waved his hand, and ten slender dancers walked up behind him, "In short, I owe him the Battle of the Tumr River, and I will give him these ten female slaves I bought at a high price, so that his old age will not be lonely." (To be continued......)
