The military conquest of the Greek Peninsula by the Brutus family has finally ended, but there are many things that the Brutus family needs to do if they want to truly bring the entire Greek Peninsula under the rule of the Brutus family and merge it into the Greek Peninsula to become the capital of the Brutus family's further development.

Before all else was taken care of, the Brutus family had to do two things first: first, to restore the combat effectiveness and personnel of the legions damaged in the conquest of the city-states of Athens and Sparta; Second, to appease the Greeks in the three regions newly brought under the rule of the Brutus, who were the key to maintaining the internal stability of the Brutus.

The solution to the former problem was relatively simple, and the armies of the House of Brutus collected a lot of gold and silver treasures in the course of their conquest of the city-states of Athens and Sparta, as well as a series of other Greek city-states, large and small; The total value of the gold and silver treasures seized in the city of Athens alone exceeded 30 million gold coins.

Upon his return to Larissa, Tiberius immediately fulfilled the promise he had made to the soldiers of the Brutus family before the decisive battle against the main army of the Spartan city-state; In order to make the other soldiers feel fair, all the other legion soldiers who participated in the battle, the Brutus family who died in the battle, gave their families a compensation of 400 gold coins, and those who did not die in the battle were also rewarded with 200 gold coins.

Even for those who did not participate in the war, Tiberius distributed a special reward of fifty gold coins to each of the soldiers of the Brutus family, two regular legions and one leader legion; Tiberius's move directly brought himself and Aulus's prestige to the peak, and the hearts of all the legionaries of the Brutus family were firmly subdued.

Because when Tiberius distributed the gold he had promised and gave special rewards to the other soldiers, all the gold coins were distributed to each soldier by Aulus on behalf of Tiberius; In order to complete this huge reward, and to avoid any deductions in between, the gold coins of each soldier were hand-issued by Aulus himself.

Even for those soldiers who died in battle, the gold coins they deserved were sent by Aulus to the Brutus family from house to house with the rosters of the various legions; Although this cost the Brutus family three months to complete the feat, the gratitude and prestige that Tiberius and Aulus had gained made it all worth it.

Having accomplished this important task, Tiberius immediately began to replenish the forces of the various legions; In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the four leadership legions, the leadership legions, which originally had only 7,000 people, will also receive 10,000 personnel in this supplement, and the establishment of the other legions has not been adjusted in any way.

In order to complete the unification of the Greek peninsula this time, the army of the Brutus family paid a total of nearly 80,000 casualties; Combined with the expansion of the four Legions of Leaders, the Brutus family would need to recruit 90,000 new recruits to complete each legion, which is a much bigger task than handing out bonuses.

After the previous large-scale bonuses, recruiting new recruits for the Brutus family was not a difficult task; The key is how to recruit these recruits, and the Greek Peninsula at this time is not the Greek Peninsula that used to be a separate battle, but the Greek Peninsula under the unity of the Brutus family.

On the unified Greek peninsula, the largest number of them were naturally the Greeks; There were more than five million Greeks scattered throughout the Greek peninsula; This was followed by the Macedonians, who numbered two million, and finally the Epirus and Dalmatians, who numbered less than one million, and the Romans, who migrated with the Brutus.

The main population on the Greek peninsula was the Greeks, and it was naturally impossible for the Brutus family, as the new rulers of the Greek peninsula, to exclude the Greeks from the conscription of their own army; However, after all, the Brutus family was a Roman power, and they were undoubtedly invaders to the Greeks, and it was not easy to gain the approval of the Greeks.

After determining the specific amount of recruitment, Tiberius ordered the garrisons of the Brutus family in Attica, the Peloponnese, and Laconia, and released all the Greek city-state troops captured by the Brutus family; If there were Greek warriors who were willing to join the army of the Brutus family, the Brutus family would not hesitate to accept it.

It turns out that Tiberius still overestimated the national consciousness of the Greeks; Since the Greeks were able to defend themselves and were ruled by Alexander the Great, from the Macedonian kingdom to Alexander's empire, the Greeks on the Greek peninsula had always been a trustworthy army under Alexander the Great, so how could they resist the rule of the Brutus family now?

Were the Macedonians or the Romans really that important to the Greeks? After all, aren't they all former enemies of the Greeks? Even if the Greeks were willing to accept Macedonian rule and not the Romans, so what?

Greeks are only Greeks after all, and the divisions on the Greek peninsula have created selfishness and disunity in the Greek character; When the city-states of Athens and Sparta were leading the fight against the Brutus, these Greeks did not stand up and dedicate their strength, would they still stand up and be the first bird after the overall situation was decided?

Of the more than 40,000 captives of the Greek city-states, more than 20,000 chose to live at home after being freed by the Brutus family; The vast majority of these people are ordinary farmers and young men who have been temporarily recruited, who have their own families and stable lives, and do not want to leave their families to continue serving in the army.

In addition to the more than 20,000 captives who chose to return home, the remaining nearly 20,000 or so were professional soldiers from the former Greek city-states, and they were all some people who made a living from the military; These people also have their own families, but they don't have the skills to support themselves, so it is better to stay in the barracks and continue to earn some gold coins to support their families than to leave the barracks and go home.

The Greeks attached great importance to interests in their bones, so they wisely chose to obey the orders of the Brutus family and became obedient people under the Brutus family; The captives who were willing to stay in the barracks quickly turned from captives to soldiers of the various legions of the Brutus family, and became Greek warriors loyal to the Brutus family.

The 20,000 Greek warriors who were willing to join the army of the Brutus family were far from enough to meet the needs of the Brutus, and when the cavalry regiment of the Brutus family was disbanded, there would be ten regular legions and four leader legions; Each of the fourteen legions had 10,000 soldiers, which meant that the Brutus family needed 140,000 soldiers.

Of the 140,000 soldiers loyal to the House of Brutus, Tiberius wanted the Greeks to make up about 70,000, the remaining 70,000 Macedonians and Romans 25,000 each, and the last 20,000 to be made up of other minorities.

Of course, this racial composition was only a general composition, and did not mean that the Brutus family would form seven legions composed exclusively of Greeks; Of the fourteen legions of the Brutus family, each legion would be organized according to this ratio, and each hundred-man corps would be composed of Romans, Greeks, Macedonians, and so on.

In addition, in order to ensure the ****************** of the Brutus, the main officers of all fourteen legions were to be the Romans who were loyal to the Brutus; In this regard, Tiberius will not make any changes or compromises.

As long as there were seventy thousand Greek warriors in the army of the Brutus family, the Greeks throughout the Greek peninsula would not do anything drastic; As for the powerful and wealthy merchants among the Greeks, the Brutus family would give them a more noble position and a more relaxed business environment, and Tiberius believed that these Greeks, who had their own interests first, would not refuse the kindness of the Brutus.

Just after the announcement of the Brutus family's massive recruitment of Greek warriors was posted, the Greeks signed up more enthusiastically than Tiberius had imagined; The Greeks in the Aeturia region in particular were more active than the Greeks in other regions, as if this was the only way to prove that they were more loyal to the Brutus family than the Greeks in other regions.

The recruitment of 50,000 Greek warriors was completed in half a month, and this was the result of careful selection by the Brutus family; Otherwise, it would only take five days at most for the Brutus family to get the 50,000 Greek youths they wanted who volunteered to join the army.

While the army replenishment plan was well under way, the elite and wealthy merchant classes of the Greeks had fallen into the exchange of interests of the Brutus; It was only by paying a few of the noble status recognized by the Brutus family and formulating a few policies suitable for the development of merchants, that the elite of these Greeks became the unwavering supporters of the Brutus.

After quickly stabilizing the entire Greek Peninsula, Tiberius began to move the core of the Brutus family from Larissa to Corinth, the most prosperous area on the Greek Peninsula, which was the most suitable area for the Brutus family to rule the Greek Peninsula.

This time, Tiberius did not make any demands on the Sulla family and the Pompey family from beginning to end, nor did he involve these two families, and even the replenishment and reorganization of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth legions were all handled by Tiberius. (To be continued.) )
