Chapter 19 Yulia's Letter (2)
Before the end of the year, the city of Rome was still quiet, and Cicero still wrote books on the Paladin Mountain to welcome guests; Claudi was successfully elected as a civilian guardian, took off the golden ring symbolizing the nobles, wore a brown cloak, and dark boots, surrounded by the people, occupying a goddess temple as the command headquarters to issue orders, and wanted to fight with the Senate; after the divorce, Caesar rushed to Lusitania with the 10th Legion, which was the backbone of the 13th Legion, about two months have passed; Pompei was idle in the villas in the suburbs, sometimes walking in the market, and some people also witnessed him meeting the tuna, the lord of Calabis, in the vegetable market, but the two had a very dull conversation, without joy, and without drool. It is said that Pompei also borrowed civet meals and cooks from Lukulas to treat his hypohepatic disease, and Lukulas had no intention of refusing; Crassus was still mysterious, and his son had also gone to Far Spain, and he continued to encourage various agents to support various agents in the quiet mansion, "investing industries" in Xiaoya, Shannan Gaul, Greece and other places; Xiao Katu was the most active among these people. At the age of thirty-four, he was already the leader of the "opinionist" of the Temple of Concorde. He loudly accused Pompei of starting construction in the Venus Grand Temple and the Grand Theater at the Matius Collegiate Collegiate site, whose foundation had almost extended to the "sheep pen" of the voting. "At that time, we citizens of all Rome will vote under the shadow of the building symbolizing Pompei's glory."
Everyone was tacitly accumulating their strength, waiting for the next round of struggle to come.
Porti, smiling and handed over the "leasing contract" with her crooked name (which was indeed the result of her own hard work) to Karabis. "Don't be stubborn. Back then in the Rikdanian military camp, I just said that I was the one who can accompany you forever, and I didn't say that it was me who was your wife. Getting this thing well is also the greatest strength I can contribute to you."
Her man didn't say anything, but slowly put on a loose robe on the back of Fanghenran, kissed her, "Take good care of the child."
Soon, when the "Lease Contract" was handed over to Crasso, it showed that Karabis had successfully followed his wishes and got things done. His goldfish eyes were happily narrowed into a slit. "You performed extremely well in the last time you defeated the wheat in Sardinia, so I feel at ease. Karabis, you have talent, but you need to have the ability to advance and retreat. Well, how is the work of recruiting troops for the 13th Legion of the airmen?"
Carabis, standing in front of the seat, looked solemn, "It's very unsuccessful. Now a large number of veterans following Pompeii fought in Little Asia have poured into the city of Rome to cause trouble. The platform where I recruited soldiers is often occupied by them, clamoring that if the Senate does not resolve their resettlement request, Rome will not be allowed to recruit new soldiers. Perhaps it is Pompeii's confidants behind it being instructed."
Crassus thoughtfully and then said, "When talking about this, why don't you go to Etruscan to recruit soldiers, and you'll be closer to us there."
"I just had a group of knights who had obtained treasury loans to contract farmland. There was a shortage of manpower. Etruscans no longer had any wealthy manpower to organize the army. I now have to recruit at least six brigades full of staff. However, the Thirteenth Legion is just an auxiliary army. Before Caesar left, he threw the recruitment work of the two auxiliary army to me... I need more equipment and money." As soon as Karabis finished complaining, Crassu raised his hand and asked me to think about it. Then he said, in the future, in the Port of Ostia, my fleet will transport supplies and weapons there. You will take the people you have recruited now and get on the ship and get an anchor. It doesn't matter if the soldiers are not satisfied. You can also recruit them in far away Spain.
This was exactly what Calabis said, because Caesar quickly sent two letters during this period, saying that he had successfully ignited war with some of the Lusitanian tribes. The main force of the 10th Legion had been stationed in the city of Ga, Italy, ready to cross the Guateana River at any time and give a fatal attack to the barbarians who dared to resist. But this city was not to mention Rome, even the wealthy near Spain was extremely far away, and supply was a problem. Caesar had asked the provinces near Spain to provide military supplies and food, but was rejected without any suspense by the other side. Because since the defeat of the rebel general Sethueris and his army, the place was Pompey's sphere of influence. It was normal for him to treat Caesar like this.
So Caesar asked Karabis to handle everything as soon as possible, including taking an oath in front of the altar of the Temple of War. Although it was a little late, he then landed in the port of Malga by boat and crossed far away Spain to meet him, of course he had to bring a lot of supplies and recruits.
"You don't have to worry about taking the oath as soon as possible and recruiting military money." Crassus said, "Even if I have stepped down from the position of inspector, I will still support you and complete the oath process."
Behind the curtain of the Temple of the God of War, Karabis raised his hands in front of the statue of the God of War (Mars and Bellower), dressed in military uniform, and beside him were priests wearing black robes and masks. He prayed loudly according to Crassus' previous arrangement: "My sword and spear are invincible by your might. Whenever the enemy is like clouds, you will steer the carriage with fire and thunder, like my courage, to destroy the will and defense of the enemy. I will dedicate their heads, women and sacrifices to you, and repay your generous gifts. The enemy prostrated before me, as if prostrated before you." Then, the priest guided
He walked to the twelve gilded shields hanging on the wall of the temple. It is said that this was the age of the ancient Roman kings. When the Etruscans came to invade, God descended the Aegis shield to protect Rome according to the Prophecy of the Sibirians. But Karabis knew that this was nonsense. In real history, Rome was then captured and forced to support the Etruscans as kings. However, the Romans also had a way to justify themselves. They also said that later the brave young people who loved republic democracy in the city of Rome held these Aegis shields and expelled the last Etruscan king and established the foundation of the republic.
