Our goal is not to live a long life, but to live uprightly.

- Seneca (famous Stoic philosopher of ancient Roman times)

When the matter was dealt with, Hannibal continued to lead the people towards the palace; It's just that this time, everyone's faces are full of energy. After all, this time it can be regarded as everyone working together to expand the territory of Carthage, and even if there is no special reward after returning to Carthage, everyone's name will be firmly remembered in the annals of the Carthage Kingdom and become the existence of future generations.

After entering the chamber of the palace, Hannibal sat down in the main seat of the chamber; On the left are Generals Abydos and Himika and Himiko, led by Vimina, and on the right are Generals Sakarb, Kelimis and Giesken, led by Mahabar.

After all nine people were seated, Jugurdah and Ahmad tacitly went to the last seats on the left and right; But before they could sit down, Hannibal spoke: "General Jugurdah, General Ahmed, you two should not sit on the left and right, but come and sit on the two auxiliary seats beside me; This is what I specially added for you today, don't shirk it! ”

Hannibal's words made Jugurdah and Ahmed feel inexplicable, and even the eight generals who had already sat down did not understand what medicine was in Hannibal's gourd; Still, Jugurdah and Ahmed obediently sat in the second seat next to Hannibal. Now I'm the fish and the man, and what can they do if they don't want to?

As Jugurdah and Ahmed took their seats. All the participants in tonight's meeting have sat down; Hannibal looked at the eight generals under his command who were in good spirits and the two generals who had surrendered. Seriously stood up and said:

"Generals. After today's battle, North Africa will be our Kingdom of Carthage! However, if we are not able to implement the right policies carefully, we will soon lose this hegemony. You know, our kingdom of Carthage was once not only the overlord of North Africa, but also the overlord of the entire Mediterranean, but then what happened?

The Romans rose in the Apennines, the Spaniards in the Iberian Peninsula. Even the Numidians on our side have risen; Only we Carthaginians have been declining. Although we have won the war against the kingdom of Numidia, our enemies are far from being destroyed; They are still coveting the fertile land of our Carthaginians!

As you know, the Kingdom of Numidia is a strong force in North Africa, but it is still inferior to the Kingdom of Spain in the Iberian Peninsula. As for the Roman Republic in the Apennines, that's our real enemy! To say a word that I am not afraid of your jokes, even I feel from the bottom of my heart that the Roman Republic is stronger than our Carthage!

As you know, I have annihilated the main armies of the Romans several times in Sicily; Rather, there are still more annihilations each time, but what is the use of this? The Roman Republic still existed, and the Roman legions grew in number; Just these days when I returned home. The Romans have taken possession of the Balearic Islands and the province of Betica, which we have overseas! ”

Hannibal's last words were like pouring a bowl of cold water into boiling hot oil, and the generals in the room discussed it one after another. The most excited was Mahabal; I saw Mahabal stand up directly and ask Hannibal, "The Balearic Islands and the province of Betica were occupied by the Romans, but what about Siodicis and Theophanes?" ”

As soon as Mahabal's words came out, the others reacted to another thing; That is, the Balearic Islands and the province of Betica are the overseas territories of Carthage conquered by the Hannibal family themselves, and the province of Betica is the nest of the Hannibal family, and the governors of these two provinces are also members of the Hannibal family.

Now that these two provinces have fallen, the satrap of the House of Hannibal ...... Without waiting for everyone to continue to think about it, Hannibal sighed helplessly and said: "When the Balearic Islands fell, the Balearic governor Siodicris died in a bloody battle in Parma; Later, Marco led an army to reinforce the province of Betica, but was also killed in Betica, leaving only Theophanes to retreat to Sicily. ”

Hiss~

Hannibal's understatement made everyone present gasp except for Jugurdah and Ahmed; Jugurdah and Ahmet didn't know, but it didn't mean that the Carthaginian generals present didn't know the identities of Siodikris and Margo. Hannibal's father left behind four sons and one daughter, who were all the core members of the Hannibal family.

Hannibal's eldest brother-in-law, the supreme commander of the Hannibal family's army after the death of Hannibal's father, died in battle against the Kingdom of Spain; Shortly thereafter, Hannibal's sister died of depression. And Margo, Theophanes and Siodicris, the three younger brothers of Hannibal, are now also killed in battle; Only Hannibal and Theophanes remained.

After all, Vimini and the others did not get along with Marco and others of the Hannibal family, nor did they establish a deep relationship with them, and at most they only lamented the misfortune of the Hannibal family; However, Mahabar is different. Mahabal is Hannibal's confidant, the general of the Hannibal family, and a good brother who was born and died with Margo and others!

When Hannibal's answer was spoken, Mahabal seemed to be in disbelief; After more than a minute, Mahabal looked into Hannibal's eyes, suppressed his emotions, and asked word by word: "Then, why, what, I, we, no, stand, that is, out, soldier, revenge, revenge?!" ”

Hannibal calmly looked at Mahabal, and then said seriously: "They are my younger brothers, heroes of the Hannibal family and the Carthaginian kingdom; However, I cannot delay the survival of the Kingdom of Carthage for their sake. So, I had to wait until the end of the Carthage land. before you can send troops to Sardinia. Avenge them! ”

Hannibal's explanation did not receive an immediate reply from Mahabal. Mahabal and Hannibal kept staring at each other, and after five minutes, Mahabal slowly sat back in his place, without saying a word. Looking at the unwilling Mahabal, Hannibal sighed again, and then continued:

"As I said earlier, I cannot delay the life and death of Carthage for the sake of my family's personal feud; But now, the crisis in Carthage has been lifted. I'm going to get revenge on my two younger brothers. However, before I can take revenge with my army, I need to settle the affairs of North Africa once and for all, otherwise I will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the Romans. ”

Although Vermina was a general who valued Carthage in his heart, he was also a general who was unwilling to fight between Hannibal and the Senate; But Vimini was also a man of flesh and blood. At this time, he was also impressed by Hannibal's lofty patriotic feelings, and involuntarily stood up and said to Hannibal with a sad face:

"General Hannibal, your contribution to Carthage is supreme; Without your selfless efforts, the Kingdom of Carthage would not have risen again today. No matter what kind of plan you want to implement in North Africa next, all you need is your command, and I at Victoria Secret will fully support it. No complaints! ”

"We are also willing to give our full support, no complaints!" As soon as Vimyna's promise was finished. Sakab and the other seven generals who were full of enthusiasm in their hearts also stood up in unison and said in unison to Hannibal. Looking at the strong support of the generals, Hannibal's heart also felt extremely gratified; No matter how crude and selfish the senators of the Senate were, these Carthaginian generals always kept their hearts warm.

Hannibal adjusted his mood for a while, then motioned with his hand to the generals who stood up to sit down, and said: "Generals, my plan for North Africa is not easy to think about, but it is very simple to say; After the defeat of the Kingdom of Numidia, according to the wishes of the people of Tripoli, Tripoli will become the third native province of Carthage.

General Juguda's Sahara Kingdom was forced to participate in the war because of the coercion of the Numidian Kingdom and Zuguta, but fortunately he woke up in time to set things right, and completed the feat of killing the demon king Zuguta in today's battle; Thus, General Jugurdah's Sahara Kingdom will be re-established, and General Jugurdah will continue to be King of the Sahara Kingdom.

In addition, the original kingdom of Numidia had four provinces: Mauritania, Numidia, Gaturia and Libya. In the future, four new kingdoms will be formed in each of these four provinces, namely the Kingdom of Mauritania, the Kingdom of Gaturia, the Kingdom of Libya and the new Kingdom of Numidia.

As for the kings of these four kingdoms, my suggestion is that the king of the Kingdom of Libya should be the former Libyan governor Mutinis, the king of the Kingdom of Gaturia should be the former governor of Gaturia Bachano, and the king of the Kingdom of Mauritania should be the prince of the former Kingdom of Numidia, Adheba; The last of the New Numidian kingdoms, the king of which is our general Ahmet!

the four newly formed kingdoms, plus the restored kingdom of the Sahara, and the kingdom of Cyrenaica, which remained at peace; It will become one of the six kingdoms of North Africa. However, there is one point that must be reiterated; That is, these six kingdoms must all be vassals of our Kingdom of Carthage, and they must pay us 50,000 gold coins worth of goods every year! ”

As soon as Hannibal's plan was finished, Victoria's Secret took a deep look at the silent Jugurdah and Ahmed, and then asked aloud: "King Jugurdah's Saharan kingdom and King Ahmet's kingdom of New Numidia will definitely be willing to become our vassals, and pay taxes every year; But how could the other four kingdoms necessarily obey our commands? ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will send messengers to the kingdoms of Libya and Cyrenaica in the east, and to the kingdoms of Gaturia and Mauritania in the west; If they are willing to accept it, they will pay this year's taxes. If they don't accept it, then we will immediately send a large army to fight and change a king for them!" Hannibal replied directly and domineeringly.

After answering Vimyna's question, Hannibal turned his head to look at Jugurdah to his left and asked, "General Jugurdah, your legion has done a miraculous battle in this war, and has paid heavy casualties; I will not do you any wrong. What do you think about your Saharan kingdom paying only half of the tax amount this year? ”

Zhu Guda quickly got up from his seat and said respectfully to Hannibal: "General Hannibal is polite, although my regiment has paid heavy casualties in this battle, it can be regarded as an act of atonement for its sins, and I really dare not take credit; Moreover, the annual tax of 50,000 gold coins in my Saharan Kingdom is still paid, after all, this is also a part of the general's heart, and I hope the general will accept it! ”

"Good! Since General Djuguda is so generous, then I deserve to be disrespectful! Hannibal directly accepted the gold coin that Jugurdah had offered him, and then motioned for Jugurdah to sit back in his seat; Then he turned his head to Ahmed on his right and said:

"General Ahmet, the new kingdom of Numidia I will order General Amikas to be returned to you intact; Moreover, I may also bring all the Numidian troops in the city of Leptis the Great under your command. However, you must promise me two conditions; First, you are not allowed to attack any kingdom in your lifetime. Second, how about being at my orders at all times? ”

Ahmet was silent for a long time, and then agreed to Hannibal's terms under the gaze of all; At this point, Hannibal's plans for North Africa were decided, and two of the six kingdoms had officially become vassal kingdoms of the Kingdom of Carthage. However, tonight's meeting is not over yet, and Hannibal still has something to discuss.
