Chapter 13 Going to the Army (2)

On the colonel, people gathered in the crowds of recruiting soldiers, bustling with people. These people were either bankrupt households in the slums or young slaves ordered by the workshop owners. In the early days of the Republic, a large number of citizens who were determined to devote themselves to the cause of Mars's God of War disappeared, and were replaced by refugees, gangsters and even slaves. However, once they accepted the recruitment and entered the world of the military camp, they would be unified "Roman Legion soldiers". After the minimum six years and the longest thirty years of service were completed, they could successfully become citizens and obtain naturalization qualifications.

Because it was a temporary recruitment, the selection process of the Chief Executive and the military guardians was extremely rough, and even the financial owner (one of them) Karabis could not bear it: these people pulled the so-called recruits into rows, with more than five and a half feet tall and with a spirit, and sent them to the cavalry or the first brigade. The short and obscene eyes were sent to other brigades. When the entourages took out a fiery red iron and made a legion mark on each person. The so-called recruitment work was done.

A military civilian guardian gave Karabis a few wooden boards to Karabis: "Freeminister, no, the newly-recruited citizen with a hole in his left ear, the two gangs of people are already together." Karabis pinched his nose and looked at the crooked melons and cracks in front of him, but after thinking about it, he didn't know anything when Xiaoya first entered the Seventh Legion. Many of these people were "street fighters" before joining the army. They should be a little familiar with fighting and slaughtering, and they are better than they were back then!

As a result, in just one or two days, two city corpses were recruited, with a total of more than 5,000 people (the city corps is small), and the legion committee was temporarily established. Neruda, as the second-CEO, deservedly became the commander-in-chief. Claudi served Cicero very promptly and became one of the deputy generals. In addition, under the operation of Caesar and Crasso, all the veterans of Campenia and Sicily resumed their service and gathered from both land and sea to the outskirts of Roman cities. General Metra, who was stationed in Gaul, also received an emergency order to send troops on time and attack the Katilin tribe.

As for Karabis, although he was a big financial backer and had to rely on his money to recruit soldiers and weapons and equipment from two of the brigades, he had just become a citizen for not long and had not been "reformed" yet, so his identity in the legion could only be the title of the scale officer.

But he was still the actual leader of this brigade - the Fourth Battalion of the Second City Legion and the 10th Battalion. This is a sign that the Roman Legion entered the era of private placement. The soldiers who paid for the recruitment were theoretically owned by the financial owners in terms of affiliation. Pompei's army was also recruited by him in his hometown.

The scale officer, Karabis, asked Pope to build a huge ox cart for him, covering the outside with bronze armor and stings. Under the wide seat of the ox cart driver, there was actually a huge empty cash box inside, ready to be filled with money. The ox cart was guarded by twelve fully armed gladiators under Oplik. Then, Karabis sent out the hired accounting slaves to "attack" everywhere, and brought in many mule carts, pack horses, goats, iron nails, etc., and placed them in the camp of the recruits at the Quirino Gate in northern Rome, in the base of his own brigade.

But in command, Karabis did not intervene at all. He understood that once he arrived at the battlefield, the only thing that could allow these new recruits to develop their combat power was their centurion and tenth corpses, which had nothing to do with him. The following steps were just to make a small report and let the legion pass the orders of Milu, Tagus, Pope and other veterans as the brigade centurion. There was no difficulty at all, because the return-service veterans from Campenia and Sicily were all incorporated by Claudi and became the personal guard of the head coach Neruda. Therefore, the other brigades, veterans and non-commissioned officers with combat experience, were all treasures, and were all placed in the positions of battalion officers or centurion officers.

Through the divination officer, Cicero predicted that four days later, it was the best time to send troops, and he personally monitored and hanged five treasoners of Rentulus as a blood sacrifice.

In the bustling camp like a market, Karabis and Milu explained to each other a few words, "Don't expect them to rely on discipline and training to play on the battlefield. In addition to rewards, it is best to hire some vendors, military slaves and women to follow them." This is Milu's request.

Karabis nodded, "Today, I happened to have a private banquet in the tavern in Domus, and these issues were entrusted to her to solve them." Then he walked through the fence, left the camp, and walked towards the sheep pen near the big square.

After pushing open the door open, hiding in the solemn atmosphere outside, the joyful atmosphere in the tavern came to my face, with delicious food and wine everywhere, and Greek slaves playing harp and flute around. Several free civilian partners in the Karabis business, wearing garlands and holding slim and hot prostitutes, laughing under the bright lights, competing with each other and talking vulgar jokes to help the wine.

"Hey, a new citizen from the East, you have to know how much thought I had spent and how much danger I took to arrange this inappropriate banquet. Now even the holiday party in the Vici neighborhood has been cancelled by the cold-blooded man of Cicero." The boss lady Duomufeng shouted half-coquely and half-satisfiedly, then wrapped her arm around Karabis's shoulder and handed a glass of Celtic beer.

"The Roman ladies are naturally cold in bed, and Cicero is the best among them." Calabis took the beer, sat down with a smile, and had a glass of glass with everyone. Then he took out a wooden board, and Calabis took it over and said, "Everyone, even Toulus is about to be hanged, we can also plan to immediately after this war, Etrus deserves something to pay attention to."

"Have you discussed this with Crasso?" asked a rosacea carefully.

"The circle of interests has been divided, and afterwards we and Crassus helped Caesar pay back his debts of 800 Tarante, and then Crasus helped Caesar run the expedition to Lusitania (now Portugal) and supported him to run for the consul who returned from the expedition; in return, Crasus was responsible for the operation, allowing the nobles of the Po Gaul to obtain citizenship and serve as the leader of the new Po region colonial city committee; our sweetness is small, the iron ore of Etrusia belongs to Crasus, and the others belong to us." After Karabis finished speaking, he squeaked on the wooden board with a carving knife and put it on the table, "The place of veterans and the fields and farms around the city of Fessuele belong to me. Two million and five million Seses retreated."

Another half-bad man hurriedly snatched the wooden board and used a carving knife to get busy, "The brick making industry there belongs to me, one million and four million."

"The Shangyi and the road belong to me, one million and two million!"

"The vineyard and winemaking industry belong to me, and nine hundred thousand Sess is withdrawn!" the rosacea shouted in a hurry.
