Chapter 29 Ocean Barbarians (Part 2)

"Yes, there will always be such 'professional' soldiers, so I want to secretly add some people to the Sixth and Twenty-Seventh Legion..." Li Bida said mysteriously, then he flicked his fingers twice and said to Sabo, "This matter will be left to you to operate, recruit 600 people, but remember, even veterans have a gap. I want to have a moderate figure, a simple look, obey discipline, and be satisfied with the current salary. Don't recruit those gamblers and alcoholics."

Sabo then took the order and left, with only Li Bida and Milu left in the camp, so the two began to chat, "Are you still used to leaving the army and becoming a veteran and staying in the camp non-commissioned officer?"

"What are you not used to? Staying with the consul as a guard is much higher in terms of security. Before the end of the road, I don't need to pick up my sword to fight. Moreover, my salary is twice that of an ordinary centurion. There is nothing to complain about." Milu replied easily, "Carabis, you are now leaping more and more. According to my calculations, there are several legions in your current troop, right? Sixth Legion, Twenty-Seventh Legion, Twelve and Thirteenth, Fifteen and Sixteenth."

"You forgot that I brought the Eleventh Legion with me, in Bosphorus, but now I have a estranged relationship with this Legion, and Apis has also entered the hostile camp, so the combat effectiveness of this Legion has never improved. Now in the province of Illyria, I will sooner or later be defeated by Pompei's Legion in Macedonia." After the judgment, Li Bida and Milu laughed.

At this time, an officer who was urging the order hurriedly walked into the camp and took out a secret order from the box. Li Bida took it and saw it. It turned out that it was from Aquiyano. The news was very explosive: the barbarians who had been temporarily surrendered to Caesar and formally accepted Pompei's far-reaching bribes. These always impulsive Gaul barbarians happened to have a strange time in obtaining the news, that is, when they knew that Caesar was defeated in Elaerda,

They immediately killed the Roman soldiers and officials who came to collect food and announced a rebellion. After Caesar reversed the situation and calmed down Spain, they felt that since they had rebelled, they lacked the necessary virtues and glory of the tribe, so they resolutely continued to persevere, and contacted the Pickett barbarian allies of the entire Brittany and Britain, and officially prepared to cross the Royal River and approach the entire hub west of the Alps, the city of Orleans.

Li Bida gathered his mind at that time, and even Milu didn't notice that he said goodbye to him. Then he spread out the map carefully drawn in the city of Rome, slowly figured out the geographical location of the Vinettes. The former deputy general of Caesar, Dihemoth, who was still in charge of the army in Syria, led the navy to defeat the Vinettes. In the "Akuta" described by Caesar himself, he publicly called the Vinettes as an unreliable barbarian, and could use merciless separatist methods. In addition, Caesar also specifically described the characteristics of this tribe: he was good at sea combat, and his ships were extremely distinctive, strong, huge and light, and they were marine barbarians that should not be underestimated.

After pondering, Li Bida felt that the time was coming to use the power of the chief deputy general. He called Galius, Conbano, and Vicintoli, and then he told the new situation straight to the point. Then he pointed his finger at Vicintoli, and the other party was also very eager to try, "I will all place the six hundred veterans into the 27th Legion, take the Seventh Legion, and send you to Orleans City to help you eliminate the invasion of the Vinette tribes. But my main force will not be placed in the province of Gaul, because the war is now in the Greek and Africa areas."

"The two legions, plus I, Alvini tribe, are enough to quell the rebellion of the Vinettes." Vicentoli said confidently.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. The commander of the other two legions, I hope you can get the right position. Now the Seventh Legion has a new responsibility because of the original commander Tlureas. With Caesar's approval, Galius will be the commander of the battle. You and your tribe are the auxiliary army." Li Bida's tone suddenly became quick and stern, but there was no stranger in the eyes of everyone present. Because Proch was barely considered Li Bida's adopted daughter, Vichintoli, who married this woman, could be regarded as the other party's son-in-law and adopted son. "In addition, my other adopted son Parumma will enter the army and serve as a military civil servant. You must urge him strictly and mobilize the entire tribe to provide logistics supplies for the army."

Sure enough, Vichintoli replied readily, "This is natural, the entire Alvini tribe is your Krien disciple."

Outside the camp, in a small farm in Rome, when Vicintoli and two legions had already set off, and when Caesar, who had presided over the tour, began to return, in the bright dusk sunshine, Marcus Varo was sitting in front of the orchard, explaining how several slaves how to obtain bees, because they happened to find an empty beehive on the roadside of the farm.

It happened that Li Bida took his entourage to patrol the entourage, and just passed by this place, he told the entourage not to disturb him. He got off his horse and looked at the back of Old Varo through the fence, and heard it.

"You have to know that honey is a sacrifice that both man and God like to drink, and the little bees, like us, are creatures of the country. They have kings, governments and social organizations, especially like to be clean and cannot tolerate filth and dirt. Yes, their countries seem to be stronger than ours. According to the agricultural principles, bees can be obtained from the corpses of bulls, and we can lock a thirty-month-old bull into the house and use an iron rod to hold it

Kill, then seal the doors and windows with thick mud. After three markets, they came in to see the bull's corpse melted and disappeared, and replaced by bees in the whole house. So in the Roman vocabulary, bees were also called 'cow eaters'." Varo gasped and finished the knowledge intermittently. Several slaves widened their eyes and recorded them on the scroll in detail. Then one of the youngest asked, "Can we do what we do now and let the bees fill in this hive again?"

Varo laughed, then looked at the sunset, and then looked at the silly young slave, saying, "Methods are just methods, but no farm owner in this world would be so stupid that he would kill a bull with much wealth value in order to drink some honey. This is what I want to tell you, agriculture, like commerce, is a science of calculation of efforts and recycling."
