Chapter 20 The new administrative divisions of the kingdom (1)

"If the Sidisonians are still stubborn and do not listen to advice, then call together all the forces that signed the road construction agreement, vote collectively, and punish the Sidisonians who violated the agreement and repeatedly refused to listen to advice!" Davers said with a majestic expression and powerful words: "Dionia can sit on the throne of the leader of central Italy because of our strong strength. If the Sidisonians insist on jumping out and provoking us, it will be just right to use their blood to establish our prestige!"

"Yes!" Alexis responded slightly excitedly.

"In addition... after the resolution to 'form the border troops' is passed by the Senate, Ansitanos, you go to the Etruscan envoy to discuss with you to see if a great avenue can be built from Rome to the northern border of Etruscania, which will help to transport military rations and supplies to the troops stationed there in the future."

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea! Building avenues will also help the connection between the kingdom and Etruscans, making mutual trade and personnel exchanges more closely!" Mariji said with a little excitement.

"However, after the Gaul army invaded Etruscan territory, they could also use the avenue to arrive in Rome faster." Lucias expressed his concern.

"This is a good thing," Davers said disapprovingly: "We are not afraid of fighting head-on with the Gauls, but instead hiding in the mountains and harassing them like we are now, which makes people feel a little trouble."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to negotiate with the Etruscan envoy on this matter. I believe that under the current situation, they should agree to this proposal." Ansitanos responded, pausing a little, and then said: "Yesterday, the envoys of several tribes of Sinumibia came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to meet His Majesty."

"What's the purpose?"

"It's still the matter with the Masili tribe. They provoked conflicts and sent troops to invade the territories of these tribes."

"Macili tribe..." Davers tapped his finger on the handrail, pondered for a moment, and said, "... Although at the end of the last war, we had an agreement with the East and West Numibians to not interfere in their internal affairs, and also had a secret agreement with the Macili tribe...

However, we can no longer ignore the continuous invasion of the Masili tribe of other tribes, because it will not only affect the trust of other Numibian tribes in us, but also a unified Sinumibia is not in our interest. The Masili tribe's ambitions must be stopped!

Uh…I remember another big tribe called Pardu in Sinumibia has a grudge against the Masili tribe and is more obedient to us. You send someone to secretly contact this tribe and tell them, ‘Dionia supports them to join forces with other tribes to fight Masili, and is willing to provide material support.’”

"Okay, your majesty, I'll do it right away." Ansitanos immediately understood, but he thought about it and reminded him: "There are several tribes between the Padu tribe and Masili. The current leader has a gentle personality and may not agree without actual threat."

Davers stroked his chin with his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "If Padu rejects our advice, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take action and persuade most of the leaders of Sinumibia to apply to the Kingdom together, and strongly demand that the Kingdom intervene in this conflict and restore peace to Sinumibia... In this way, we will not be considered a violation of the agreement."

"I understand." Ansitanos actually had this idea in his mind for a long time, but he just asked Davers to speak it out on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, is our Military Affairs Department going to prepare for the conflict in Sinumibia?" Alexis asked.

Davers nodded: "regardless of whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' mission is successful or not, your Ministry of Military Affairs must take diplomatic failure and military intervention as the premise. Let the Advisory Office do war deduction first, and then prepare for the deduction so that it can come in handy immediately when it is really needed."

"yes."

Davers looked at Lucias again and said, "Although Carthage has been quiet for the past few years, we cannot relax our vigilance. The intelligence department will step up its surveillance. Is Chief Executive of Hadrumtum Litagus?"

"Yes, your Majesty."

"Tell him about this and make him prepare."

After receiving Lucias's response, Davers looked at everyone and asked again: "Is there any other question?"

"Your Majesty, the construction process of the Hades main temple is accelerating. After confirming the design of the giant statue on the top of the mountain, the carving and modeling will also begin. I believe that the Hades main temple will be completed before next year's celebration." Heraclid, a great city, said as if he was seeking credit.

"Very good!" Davers praised lightly. He was unwilling to talk more about the renovation of the temple in the Executive Council, because at the proposal of Presinas, he received support from many veterans and ministers, but some still expressed opposition. Not only because the war had just ended and the country had not been fully restored, and carrying out such a large public building was a waste of money, but also because there would be special rituals when the main temple was built, which made a few people worried...

"It seems you have no other problem." Davers turned the topic away and said slowly: "I have made a decision on the last time you proposed that 'In view of the vast territory of the kingdom now, I hope to divide the provinces and establish the permanent governor' in order to facilitate the governance of the kingdom."

As soon as these words were said, everyone was immediately excited and listened intently.

Davers continued quietly, "I think your proposal is correct, just like what I said just now, "The situation in the kingdom has changed, the situation has changed, and the old system has to change accordingly to adapt to new developments." However, the two words "province, governor" are derived from Persia and do not match our Dionysia. I am more accustomed to using the two words "regional and regional administrator" to show the difference between the Dionysian Kingdom and Persia."

"Region and Chief Executive..." Everyone whispered these two nouns.

"Your Majesty, these two terms are better and easy to understand, and they correspond to our two words "city and city chief". Even ordinary people can understand the meaning of it." Even Ansitanos, who is a scholar, said this, and others have no objection.

Davers smiled and said, "Henny, go and carry the Kingdom map."

The reason why the word "lift" is used is because the map is drawn on a huge wooden board. It not only paints the existing territory of the kingdom, but also covers all areas of the entire Western Mediterranean. Of course, other areas are not depicted as detailed and accurate as in the kingdom, so that the areas north of the Iberian Peninsula and the Italian Peninsula are basically blurred.

Davers stepped down from the throne, took the long wooden pole from Henipolis, and used it to mark the map and said: "In the north, the town of Latinum and the Etruscan town north of the Taibo River merged into the Roman region, and established the Roman chief executive, with the capital in Rome;

The towns of Campania, the towns of Samone and Enona we have merged into the eastern part of Campania, with their capital in Beneventum;

Further south, the towns of the former Lucania and the three coastal towns of Poseidonia, Elia and Picosis were merged into the Lucania region, with the capital in Grummentum;

The former towns and Laus were merged into the Bruti area, with the capital in Kosenza;

The former Apulia region is divided into the Doni region, Pucheti and Mesapi, according to the original territory of the three races, Downey, Pucheti and Mesapi, respectively, the Doni region, Pucheti region, Mesapi region, the Doni region is in Lusenia, Pucheti's capital is in Silvim, and the Mesapi's capital is in Udie;

Heraklia and Metapontum are merged into the Turiy region, and the capital remains here-"

"Your Majesty, does Visinia belong to the Bruti region or the Turiy region?" Sedorum asked softly.

"Oh, it was my tongue just now. Bissinia still belongs to the Turiy region." Davers immediately corrected it and continued: "Crimesa, Asprestum, Crotone, and Silitun were merged into the Crotone region, with the capital in Crotone;

Trina, Hibernian, Colonia, Medema, and Locre were merged into the southern region of Greater Greece, with the capital in Trina;

Taorina, Lijim, Messina, Mile, Tindaris and the unbuilt Shimala (the old city of Shimala was destroyed by the Carthaginians, no one dared to rebuild the town there for decades, but after the Western Mediterranean War, the entire Sicily had been ruled by the Kingdom of Dionys. At that time, Siphorus, who was still the governor of Sicily during the war, proposed to rebuild Shimala. Two reasons: First, that area was the only wider flat lowland on the northern coast of Sicily, and

The soil is fertile, which is conducive to the living of a larger population; secondly, due to the less affected by the war, some Greek city-states on the north coast were not incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionys after the war, but were affiliated with Dionys, and became autonomous city-states like Tarantum. Sorus and Palermos surrendered early, Dionys kept their promises and allowed them to rule themselves. Simela was located right in the center of the north coast, and its establishment was conducive to the stability of the north coast of Sicily) merged into the strait area, and the capital was located-"

Davers paused and said, "Lejim and Messina."

As soon as these words were said, they surprised the ministers. Mariji thought for a moment and immediately praised: "Your Majesty is wise! Turning Lijim and Messina into one region will help to uniformly manage the shipping issues in the Messina Strait region! Setting the capital in Messina and Lijim at the same time will help to resolve the conflicts between the people of the two towns for hundreds of years!

In fact, many of the ancestors of these two cities come from the same allied state. The two cities are only 10 nautical miles apart, but they have been in constant conflict due to interests. Even after joining the kingdom, they are still the same. I have also mediated several times.

This time, His Majesty set these two cities as regional patronages at the same time, which just helps officials and the people resolve conflicts and improve governance efficiency for common interests. This is a great innovation!”

Davers smiled and said nothing.

"But the management of the capital is probably a little difficult to manage in Messina and Lijim at the same time." Mentotic Els asked in confusion.
