Chapter 19 Beheading (2)
After reaching a glorious peace agreement with Herod, who escaped into the deep mountains of Medites in Persia, in the midst of the seal of the capital of the Dongdu, Li Bida and his staff had already begun to secretly discuss the establishment of the Mesopotamian province and subordinate administrative regions. Although he supported Mindaz to become the king of the vassal of Parthia, Li Bida knew that Mindaz's people's expectations and foundation were actually difficult to fight against Herodaz's father and son alone - especially if the brave and warlike Parthia warrior would be even more difficult for Mindaz to feel. ○
But what if the territory and military strength of Mindaz are increased? This is even more in line with Li Bida's wish. Li Bida is difficult to tolerate appearing in this land in a kingdom that is stronger than the force of the Syrian province. Therefore, he limited the country of Mindaz to a very reasonable framework, neither making him strong nor too weak. As for the future defense of Parthia, it is called the army of the New Province of Mesopotamia, and it will be completed with him.
Li Bida finally concluded that Mesopotamia must have two legions, but neither of these two legions are stationed in Seleulia and Taisie is on the front line, because this is a very dangerous and unstoppable place, but is all stationed on the southern border of Armenia, where you can attack and retreat and defend. In Syria, Li Bida also left a legion to be stationed in to take charge of the second line, and the garrisoning work of the other cities was handed over to the local armed civilian army.
"Xiao Ya is very peaceful now, and there is no need for many defenders at all. Just give it to Adiana and Diotalus. As for Ionia and Ionia, there is no need for legions, or abolition or transfer to other areas to defend. This will also help the economic recovery here and bring generous taxes to the country." Li Bida sat on the sand table and instructed, and then he drew a red line in front of Li Bida Fort. "This is the location of the second barrier of the empire. It must be with the Macedonian region, with four to six legions and corresponding fleets. Do not be careless."
As he continued to work on the division of defense and administrative regions in Italy, Li Bida suddenly remembered something.
Soon, Parumma limped in, and then his adoptive father made clear requests from him and Dussenvier to transfer the military power of the new cavalry legion.
Obviously both of them knew that this day was coming sooner or later, and had already prepared the seal and token, and respectfully handed it to the hands of their adoptive father and superiors. The high priest was very satisfied and comforted him. He told Paluma that he could take office in Mauritania as soon as possible. As for Dussenvier, he also comforted the chief who had followed him for many years, saying that he would grant him the Sequinni area as a national town. He was adjacent to the territory of Vichentoli and was responsible for the defense of the Renus River. Of course, there was also the obligation to restrain and monitor each other.
As for the new cavalry army with a total of 8,000 people, the high priest immediately ordered it to be "dismembered" into eight detachments, each detachment divided into two detachments of 500 cavalry. They have their own independent barracks and garrisons in Mesopotamia. When this province is threatened in the future, these independent detachment cavalry will become a huge nightmare for the enemy in this plain and wilderness.
"Father, I will set off tomorrow. I am afraid it will be difficult to meet you, Portimama and Yuliamama in the future. I hope you are all in good health. In the new area, I will continue to work diligently and perform my duties to increase glory and wealth to our family." Paruma fell at the feet of her adoptive father and burst into tears.
The high priest also burst into tears, constantly stroking Parumma's golden hair, and reminded him, "Be kind to Van Lundena. If you have time on weekdays, you should learn more Greek or Latin writing. Don't always ride horses and hunt. Portimama can communicate with you more letters. You know that she hopes to see the words you wrote in person, and there is a child's heart in it."
As a result, before he finished saying goodbye to Paruma, Synar's servant came to report, "Your daughter is leaving Tessifon, and is preparing to say goodbye to you."
In front of the city gate of Tessifon, Neko stood straight there with her hands down, holding the whip, and holding the tip of her boots, with her face full of reluctance. The tall Ossetinius stood beside her, constantly comforting her gently - but she still wanted to leave her father, because if she stayed with her father, she didn't understand what she should do, she had become a deer in the jungle, meeting the expectations given by her mother Helenputina, not her father's. She didn't want to be the princess whom her father had never met, like Corinna.
But when she saw her father holding his robe, a man in his forties, running alone from the palace's boulevard like a young man, her tears couldn't help but flow down. This boulevard was very long, and even though Li Bida's physique was extremely strong in his long-term military and training career, when he arrived in front of his daughter, his hair was still a little messy and drooping, and he had to bow his waist and pant.
When Ossetinius saw the high priest standing there, he walked back tactfully, leaving the high priest's sight and letting the father and daughter talk carefully.
"Hey, Osanius."
"Father!" Niko wiped away her tears, but was still extremely dissatisfied with her father's rudeness.
"Okay, Ossetinius, don't leave, just here, stand side by side with my daughter!" Li Bida closed his hair, stood up straight, and said.
"Father-we will live in the territory you give me, at least in winter and spring. If you go to the Palace of Nicomidea or the Palace of Sinopu every year, Ossetinius and I will see you in advance and see you." Nicole covered her mouth and started crying again. Then she stepped forward and touched the corner of her father's eyes, "Father, papa, don't feel lonely."
"Um, um." At this time, Li Bida kept nodding obediently like a comforted child.
Finally, Li Bida stood on the hill of the royal garden outside the city, watching the twilight sky, his daughter and her tall son-in-law join hands, telling each other what he didn't know very well, gradually fading away, his daughter kept turning back and waved to his father, while Ossetinius followed him step by step, following his daughter like a giant caring for a bird.
"Niko's own choice should be correct. On the contrary, my thoughts could really harm her." Watching her daughter's departure, Li Bida muttered to herself in her heart. Then he looked around and the beautiful scenery of the Parthian royal garden, but suddenly realized that he was really lonely - the little pigeon left, Neko left, Leo will become a palace in the future. Pulaima may become Leo's palace in a few years. "Forget it, I have made a vow long ago that even the shackles made of gold must continue to jump down."
