Chapter 2 Cyrena Heights (Part 2)
When Libida led his horse and took the guard of honor to the temple of the Holy Land of Hashidi, David Angit's eldest son, Matthia, who was twelve years old, was silently carrying a box behind the Roman Conqueror General, "Take this child to Rome, even my husband before, and knows the world only through scriptures filled with Greek and Hebrew. I hope this child can truly take a boat to the center of the world and truly see it."
In fact, this great temple had just been completed, but there were scars of crossbows and bows and arrows shooting on the walls. Even though Li Bida ordered the military discipline many times and did not hesitate to leave his directly affiliated thirteenth legion in Yazda, he still failed to completely stop the mania of the victor and the plundering fanaticism. This great temple must have been looted. Fortunately, it was still left with a stigma for the commander-in-chief and did not completely destroy it. A group of elders stood on the steps in a daze, waiting for the arrival of the conquerors.
Li Bida didn't say much, but asked the soldiers to push open the temple door. A few wisps of fireworks oozed out. The main priest of Hashidi died around the altar. The chief high priest Jacob looked ashen, his mouth was covered with filth and blood. He shrank tiredly and grabbed the table in front of the altar, with scratches on it. It seemed that he had suffered great pain before his death.
"He cut off the tail of the golden vine and swallowed it." A Latin-tale elder who followed Li Bida looked at Jacob's body and hurriedly explained.
"Don't demolish the temple, but the Presbyterian Church should distribute all the wealth hidden in the temple, half of which will be given to the residents of Cyrenega and half of which will reward the soldiers of the Legion. In this way, the army will not take a long time to accept the order to go to the garrison outside the city." This was Li Bida's request. The Presbyterian Church naturally felt that such conditions were not wrong. So he hurriedly agreed, "In addition, this temple is not exclusive to Hashidi in the future. Your Presbyterian Church also has an obligation to organize lecturers and priests to influence the people, and do not always let the people accept these radical and dangerous ideas. The Jewish district of Cyrenega was abolished, and all household registration was broken up, and other residents were mixed."
After saying that, Li Bida quietly placed his crown on the altar and hung it. Then he turned around and stood at the door of the temple where the wind and rain were swaying. Looking at the streets full of soldiers, he sighed in his heart, "It's up to the city of Rome!"
At this time, the civil guardian Ebro, Triali and others spoke generously at the meeting, "The rebellion of the Kingdom of Cyrene has been suppressed. As for Judea's locality, Herod the Great asked the Syrian Governor Bibruce to send one or two legions to help suppress the rebellion. In short, there is no doubt about the situation now. The people of Rome. What you should care about is how the Republic treats this territory in the next years - because the covenant between Herod and the Republic has sacred legal and diplomatic significance, and it is impossible to cede territory from Judea, but Cyrene is different because it was able to maintain the vassal. The city-state of state status has disappeared after the Hashidi riot. I suggest that it be abolished its status as a "maritime allies" and directly subscribe it to the power of the "Uononian Colonial Commission". Before the new consul was released, one thousand to three thousand Roman citizens were immigrated to the place, or I would say it more directly. This is the extension of the field law of the Lord Julius Caesar, and the extension of the field law of the Universe. We can make a motion to make citizens who did not benefit from the last field law or who were slightly less qualified to go to Cyrene to establish a colonial city."
In fact, Ebro's statement is to suggest that the Republic directly annex Cyrene, like Cyprus, and turn it into a Roman colony. Under the operation of the Yunonian Colonial Committee, mobilize citizens who are particularly wealthy or particularly poor (only these two types of people are interested in building colonies), or veterans who have not been properly resettled to Cyrene and first establish a Latinized colony. This kind of political system is the most marginal level in the republic system, but it is no longer possible.
It is higher than Adiana's Ubertnia. Those who go to the colony are equivalent to voluntarily giving up their citizenship (because no one will wait for you to go back to Rome to vote during the campaign), but you can get a considerable resettlement fee and easily obtain positions in the colonial government, army and the Senate of Curia. Once you can steadily re-elect certain prominent public offices, these people, or their descendants, can still return to Rome again, win citizenship, and participate in power competition again in the Roman political arena.
After the situation stabilizes, perhaps one year, maybe ten years, or maybe longer, the city of Rome will appoint the Chief Executive, the provincial governor.
Then, Triali officially copied the conditions of the Cyrene colony on Akuta, so that everyone could see more clearly, "As long as those who are willing to go to the place, each person will be allocated 300 yogs of land according to the registered population. If there are more than three children in the family, one hundred yogs of land will be given first, and a settlement fee of 5,000 yogs will be provided at one time. As long as the assets can be confirmed to be 200,000 yogs of land, the first entry into Cyrene's Curia and hold government office.
"Now, Rome was once again filled with people's sentiment. Now it is no longer the era when the Gragu brothers were persecuted. Since following Caesar and Pompeii fought with the elected father of the Senate, the people have obviously felt more and more courageous. They soon passed the resolution at the Tebres People's Congress and submitted it to the 100-man delegation, awarding Barcelona (although he only had a blank title) and the triumphal glory of the Thirteenth Legion to affirm the great significance of this Cyrene expedition to the people.
On the bull market street, a capable man tore off Akuta, who was stuck on the column of the assembly hall, wrapped the medicine in his hand, and then hurriedly walked towards the suburbs outside the city wall, which had expanded and built quickly in the past decade, and was mostly the site of powerful villas. In the evening, he came to the most luxurious Pulaima, but according to the latest Roman analysis, the mansion was only left with luxury, but the politicians inside "dead". They disappeared in the political arena for ten years, and everyone would regard you as a loser. In the current trend, Lukulas, the "tuna" Lukulas was obviously inferior to his ex-wife Claudi.
The Romans only recognized the power of reality. No matter how noble your family was, if no one had held prominent positions in three generations, they would laugh at you as a "newcomer rookie" and would even deprive you of your noble status through the Senate inspector and demote you to a knight or a civilian. As for how you can gain a future, I'm sorry, the Romans never cared about it.
