"Chapter 358: Battle Mastiff Legion"
There are two things that people desperately want - bread and entertainment.
- Jade Waina (Roman satirical poet)
Governor of Gaul in the province of Gallic beyond the mountains? In the face of such an appointment, Carabes couldn't help but smile knowingly; It seems that Flavis of the Julius family is still as shrewd as ever! He knew that the Julius family could not really control this Gallic province outside the mountains, so it was better to directly grant this governor to himself; Instead, you can buy your own heart.
Of course, Flavies's order was more than just such an appointment; In addition to this apparent order, Flavies prepared a parchment for the cavalry to pass on to Calabes. For this parchment, Carabis didn't need to look at it to know what would be written on it; But nothing will change that.
As expected, when the parchment was opened, several extremely simple and clear lines were written on it: first, Calabes was officially appointed governor of the province of Gaul beyond the mountains; In view of the fact that the province of Gallic outside the mountains was a newly occupied province and the land was barren, there was no need to pay any taxes for five years, and all tax revenues were distributed by the governor.
Second, the legions to which Calabis belonged were still all owned by Calabes, and all the casualties paid by Calabes in this war were replenished by himself; From now on, the Julius family will allocate all the food, grass, materials, weapons and equipment needed by Calabes' 30,000 troops every year, and all specific military matters will be arranged by Carabis himself.
Thirdly, considering the special relationship between the officers of the Fourth Legion under the command of Calabes, and the Alpine tribes, the Julius family officially decided to relocate the entire Alpine tribes to settle in the Gallic region beyond the mountains; The specific tribal migration would also need to be carried out by the Calabes, and until then the Alpine tribes would temporarily reside in the province of Gallic in the mountains.
Fourthly, the province of Trans-Gaul was located west of the Alps, too close to the other major tribes of the Gaul barbarians; In view of this, the Julius family specially granted the Gallic governor Calabis the right to declare war on the Gallic barbarians. In the event of a war, the Governor of Gaul, Calabes, could ask the House of Julius for fleet or legion support at any time!
After these four orders, it was personally signed by Flavis, the leader of the House of Julius; This kind of special authority is right in the middle of the favor for Carabes, and it also gives Carabis a bigger and better stage to display himself. To tell the truth, in the face of such trust, Carabis said in his heart that it was not moved and false; However, the reality is still so cruel.
The Calabes, a family of stewards loyal to the House of Augustus for generations; Without the House of Augustus, there would be no so-called Carabes. Because the ancestor of the family of Carabes was nothing more than a slave in the arena; After that, with the promotion of the Augustus family, there is the Calabess family today!
Calabes knew that his father was an old butler who was loyal to the House of Augustus; Even his own son may not necessarily be on a par with the Augustan family in his mind. Of course, Carabes's own feelings for the Augustus family are also extraordinary, which is the key to Carabes's not turning his back on the Augustus family.
Carabes's father was only the butler of the Augustus family, but Carabes's treatment since he was a child was not just the son of the butler; In Casa Star, Karabes was a companion who played with the family's heir, Oscar, as well as Thales, Tuka, Rakka, and others since he was a child, and the Augustus family never regarded him as a subordinate.
For Carabes, he was a member of the Augustan family in his bones, and the Augustan family was also his own family; No matter how far a person goes, it is impossible for him to forget his home, it is impossible to forget his family. So, no matter what the Julius family and Flavies do to Calabes, he is still Carabes of the Augustus family!
After solemnly placing the parchment scroll sent by Flavies on his chest, Carabis began to make a new arrangement of his own; After taking all of Marseille, Calabis convened a new round of military councils in the Council of Elders of Marseille. This time, in addition to all the generals under the command of Carabes, there was also the summoned leader of Grace.
Calabis himself sat in the seat of the chief of the Maasai tribe, looked at the smiling generals below and said: "Generals, after the concerted efforts of everyone, we have finally defeated the Maasai tribe once and for all, and brought the whole of Gaul beyond the mountains under our rule; Now, too, the family of Julius has sent an appointment to the post of governor of Gaul beyond Gaul! ”
As soon as Carabes's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became more enthusiastic, and the generals stood up one after another to congratulate Carabes. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, but Allah, who has always been impulsive and simple-minded, said: "Gaul beyond the mountains was originally personally defeated by His Excellency the Commander, do you still need any appointment from the Julius family?" ”
"That's it! We all fought bloodily behind His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to take Gaul beyond the mountains, and I saw nothing of the Julius family during this time; Could it be that this governor could be made up of by someone else? If you want me to say, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief doesn't even need to pay attention to the Julius family, we can do our own thing! The outspoken Tursus also echoed Alladau.
After these two guys stirred, the atmosphere at the scene was inevitably a little awkward; However, fortunately, everyone present had nothing to do with the Julius family. Either they were bandit-born generals or leaders from Gallic tribes, and they had no feelings for the Julius family, and naturally no one would secretly report the matter to the Julius family.
Moreover, the words of these two men also resonated with the other generals; Calabes's skills are obvious to all. Even without the support of the Julius family, it is believed that Calabes can still lead everyone to a large territory; When the time comes, one person will ascend to heaven, and everyone will be able to go further!
Thinking of this, all the generals began to be eager, and looked at Karabes, who was silent; Calabis met the eyes of the generals, and said calmly: "These things are not for you to mix, and you don't need to mix; All you have to do is know that you will be loyal to me and follow in my footsteps and fight alongside me. ”
Although Calabes's words say nothing, his ambitions are exposed; Therefore, after receiving such an answer, the generals also sat down in their seats contentedly, ready to continue waiting for Karabeth's speech. After watching the generals sit down again, Karabes did not waste time, but continued:
"Now that I am the governor of this extramontane Gaul, our next task is naturally to govern this extramontane Gaul province; I also know that it is too much trouble for you generals to govern the province. So, for the next period of time, I will give you the task of mainly the army.
First of all, it is naturally a question of our military recovery; In this battle, we paid a total price of tens of thousands of casualties. Those who have died in battle need to be replenished, and those who are injured and cannot continue to remain in the army also need to be replaced; And these soldiers are short, so choose from the young men of the captured Maasai tribes. In the future, the Maasai tribe will also be a part of our rule, and their young men will also be our soldiers.
In addition, after the replenishment is completed, you, the main generals of the legion, must adjust the internal affairs of your respective legions, and do not let the soldiers have a gap because of the previous battle. In addition to this, you must also command the men of your legions not to oppress the people of any other tribe, including the tribe of Maassai; After all, everyone is now a citizen under our rule. ”
"I'll understand!" For these orders of Calabes, the generals naturally agreed in unison. However, Carabis said that he still did not talk about the Grace tribe, which undoubtedly made Grace anxious; Before the war, Calabes had promised to make the Grace tribe one of the largest tribes in Gaul beyond the mountains!
Grace's fidgeting, Carabis also sees it; So, after announcing the supplementary arrangements for the various legions, Karabes continued: "Here I have two more arrangements to explain; As soon as the meeting is over, Brigor and Margelow, both of you, will return to our camp near the Alps with the Fourth Legion.
Your task is to move all the Alpine tribes to Gaul beyond the mountains; From now on, the Alpine tribes will also be part of our extra-mountain Gallic provinces. In this regard, I have made an agreement with the House of Julius, and they will not stand in your way; But you must go back as soon as possible, and you can't delay too much time for the legion to replenish and train. ”
Suddenly hearing such good news, Brigo and Marglo almost seemed to be in a dream, but fortunately it was Cadoradu next to him who slapped Brigo that he reacted. The two who reacted naturally stood up and thanked Karabes for gratitude, but Karabes smiled and waved his hand to signal them to sit down; Then Karabes said to Grace:
"Grace Chief, in this war against the Maasai tribe, your Grace tribe can be regarded as a great contribution; So, my idea is to form a war mastiff legion composed of warriors and trainers of the Grace tribe in the future, and you will personally serve as the leader of this legion, I don't know what you think? ”
This appointment made all the generals present look at Grace in disbelief; You must know that Karabes's arrangement is definitely a preference for the Grace tribe, and it is also a value for Grace himself. In fact, Grace himself did not expect that Carabis would make himself the fourth Legion Commander under his command! (To be continued.) )
