Vol 8 Chapter 23: Disposal of the Kautini discussion


Davers’s words surprised everyone in the room. They didn’t expect the king’s appetite to be so big. Compared with the tolerant policy adopted by the Samonai after the fiasco more than a decade ago, this time the requirements were much stricter. .
"Your Majesty, Kautini may not agree with your request!" Cornelus reminded.
"The negotiation is to talk about, we put forward some difficult conditions, and then gradually cut down according to Kautini's reaction until the two sides are satisfied. However, the bottom line is that Lola must be controlled by us, Kautini The position of the big leader must also be re-elected. We cannot allow a person who has repeatedly violated the covenant and hatred of Dionia to stay in this position!" Daves firmly said in a tone that could not be changed.
"Your Majesty, with the current strength of Kautini, this negotiation condition is not difficult to achieve." Foreign Minister Ansitanos said confidently.
"But the Kautini's fiasco and our subsequent requests may be a source of vigilance against other Samonna races. They were somewhat dissatisfied with us before, and they were afraid that this time they would make new troubles." Lucias reminded some concerns.
"I agree with the decision made by you! Even if there is no such thing, the dissatisfaction of the Samonets to our Dionyns is always there. As far as I know, the fierce race of Samona is always 'Disastrously giving us Dionia, surrendering to us' is a shame, we always hate us, and we just want to seize every opportunity to weaken it, so that the Samonais have no strength, even if they have no strength, Can't retaliate against us!" Anta Orris said loudly.
Lucy Asla looked at Anta Orris with dissatisfaction, and the new rotating chairman has been very active recently, quite late.
Davers voted for his approval. He felt that he chose Anta Orris as the rotating chairman. It was a correct decision. Compared with Kunogolata, Anta Orris’s ability to handle internal affairs is also not weak, and he is active, and more importantly, he actively cooperates with Davers to make some of Davers’ decisions and proposals Successfully passed through the Senate, which is stronger than the dead Kuno Gorata.
"Your Majesty, this condition you proposed is really good!" Military Minister Hilos is not blindly praised. He stands in the military strategy and sincerely said: "If you can get Lola and Sasella, then It can be connected to the Abeniyarum area of ​​Kautini town and the Hilpini tribe, which is friendly with us in southern Campania, and we have our allies nearby. The support of the Pana League, not far from the south and our territory, Enona, Poseidon, and Copsa, can completely block the Samonets in the mountains and limit their invasion and expansion.

Davers was happy that Hilos could see through his intentions. He coughed and further reminded: "Not only to limit the Samonais, we have to further accelerate their conquest and assimilation. Trapped in the mountains. The Samonians in the country, because of the poor land and lack of food, they either robbed or traded with us, which gave us more opportunities. In addition, we must strengthen the military strength of the Duni area to prevent anger. The Samonai marched eastward and raided the territory of our new conquest... Yes, how was the preparation of the 11th Army?
"With the strong support of Antonios, our military camp near Luceria has not only been built, but has been carried out for several rounds of military training..."
After listening to the report of Hilos, Davers tapped the back of his chair with his hand: It seems that Antonios has already stepped out of the influence of the case of La Odesian. In the past two years, not only has the stability of the central town of Lousonia in Duni well The situation, but also actively cooperate with the Ministry of Military Affairs...
He indulged a moment and said: "Now the candidates for the 11th Army Corps have not yet been determined. The military ministry must warn the military training officers of the Daoni military camp to pay attention to strengthening the vigilance against the mountains in the west to prevent the invasion of the Samonets. Once there is The enemy situation can happen, and Antonios can be temporarily commanded by the 11th Army.
At the same time, you have to tell Melishanda, who is the head of the 10th Army in the Puceti area. Once there is an abnormal military situation, he immediately rushed to the Dani area.

"Okay, sire."
With a clear answer from Hilos, Davers turned his attention to Ansitas: "How about the Frentani's draw?"
The Frentani lived in the lower mountains of the Dani area near the Adriatic coast. Although they claimed to be a branch of the Samonet, they were not aggressive and the number was not very good. many. Although the Samonians do not agree with this race, they have rarely invaded them. Of course, this may also be related to their land being too poor.
"The Frentani people have not been as nervous as they were at the beginning since they signed a friendly agreement with us. They know something about our style of keeping our promises..." Ansitanos is talking. Business Secretary Mariji interjected: "Your Majesty, our market on the banks of the River Divans (Tifernus River, Frentani and the border river of Dawny) is very lively, with Frenta big and small every day. The tribes carry mountain goods, ore, wood... to exchange goods such as grains, olive oil, pottery, etc., not as cautious and barbaric as Samonah traded with us..."
Davers nodded and suddenly remembered something and asked Hilos: "I remember the Frentari people who asked us a few months ago, 'Can you send a fleet to patrol their shores to drive out the vicious pirates. 'How is this going on?'
"Your Majesty, the fourth fleet specially sent several warships to patrol the coast for them, and several times with the pirates who attempted to rob the land. For this reason, Miltias (this is the naval command of the Fourth Fleet) The Ministry of Military Affairs wrote a letter requesting him to increase the warships..." Hilos answered.
"I remember this. I approved the document of the Ministry of Military Affairs on the addition of five three-layer paddles to the fourth fleet." Daves tapped the table with his fingers and said: " The Frentani people are now more dependent on us than on the Samonais. If we have a real war with the Samonet in the future, I believe that the Frentani will eventually stand on our side!"
After Davers said, he turned the topic: "Okay, everyone. Although the negotiations with the Samonai have not yet begun, we have to prepare in advance, once we really get Lola, Sasella, After the three cities of Capsa, they were able to send people to move there as soon as possible, quickly occupying and stabilizing the eastern part of the Campania Plain."
The Minister of Household Registration, Raffias, immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, the registered citizens and free people registered in the past few years have been successively assigned to the Apulia region (Apulia region including Mesapi, Puchetti and Dao Ni), there is still a lot of vacant land in the Dawnee area, but there is not enough new population to fill it, but it has to be classified as a public land for the kingdom. Unless it is a free move to New Zealand Campania..."
Davers frowned. If in the early days of the development of Dionia, because of the urgency of the situation and had to adopt such an extreme way, now he does not want to use such a sloppy way to lower the quality of the entire national and improve the difficulty of governance.
At this time, Vesba interjected: "Your Majesty, there are enough new people in the kingdom, they can completely migrate to Campania."
Raphaas looked at him strangely: "Where are you talking about this population?"
Daves reacted: "What are you talking about... children in the tribe?"
"In the past few years, all tribes have been separated from each other, young and old, and young adults have gone out independently. If it were not because of slavery, those tribes were even more difficult to graze..." Wesba lamented the decline of the tribes of Lucania, but He also knows that this is the trend of the times: "After more than a decade, most of the children in various tribes have grown up now. They are eager to be independent, set up a family, have a part of the land more intense than the former tribal warriors, and they Most of them are prepared soldiers of the Third Legion. After settled in Campania, they can directly become the main force to stabilize the area and defend the Samonets."
Daves listened to the big ~EbookFREE.me~ This way, not only solved the population problem of moving to Campania, but also solved the remaining tribal problems. As a king, he considered more and turned to Sedrum: "There should be what Vesba said in the tribes of Bruty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. But there should not be as much as Lucania." Sedrum replied with a sigh: "There was a rebellion in the Bruti area during the South Italian War, and the tribes that were completely dismantled and destroyed were not in the minority. ......"
"That would bother the two adults to go to Lucania and Brute to count the young people who are willing to settle in Campania, and finally report to Rafaas. Once the negotiations with Kautini are completed. So, they arranged for them to go immediately.
Daves finished, and his heart was relieved: the reservations of the Lucania and Bruti tribes were the result of the compromise of the weak strength of Dionia, and later conquered Mesa. Pi, Pucciti was much more rude, and the tribe was completely dismantled from the beginning. Although it caused more turmoil, it also made the two regions completely free of tribal problems.
Now, Davers sees the hope of a complete solution to the tribes of Lucania and Bruti.
"Your Majesty, will the Third Army wait until the end of the negotiations with the Samonais?" Hilos asked.
