Davos smiled: „My reply accepts the employment of Thurii.” 戴弗斯笑了:“我的回答是接受图里伊的雇佣。” Although some preparations, Burkes cannot bear a face be pleasantly surprised at heart. 尽管心里有些准备,布尔科斯还是忍不住一脸惊喜。 „Do not cheer too soon! This is only my opinion, I must convince the team officers and soldiers, many of them after more than one year in the expedition of Persia, had somewhat been weary of the war, anxious wants to return to the hometown.” Davos first pours cold water to him, then said: „I will try to convince them, naturally your employment pay is higher, more can touch them.” “别高兴的太早！这只是我个人的意见,我还要去说服手下的队官和士兵们,他们中不少人经过一年多在波斯的征战,已经有些厌倦了战争,急切的想回到家乡。”戴弗斯先给他泼冷水,然后说道:“我会尽全力说服他们,当然你的雇佣薪酬越高,也越能打动他们。” „One soldier one month two Darica gold coins!” Burkes decisive saying. “一个士兵一个月两个达利克金币！”布尔科斯果断的说道。 Davos was calculating at heart, asked: „How many people do you need?” 戴弗斯在心里盘算了一下,问道:“你需要多少人？” „Naturally the more better!” Burkes blurting out without hesitation. “当然是越多越好！”布尔科斯不假思索的脱口而出。 „, Big tone! If I have 5000 people to go, each month pay and provisions is a huge number, Thurii can bear?” “呵,好大的口气！我要是带五千人去,每个月的薪酬和给养就是一个庞大的数字,图里伊负担得起吗？” „ I had said Thurii is one of the Magna Graecia most prosperous city-state! You have 10,000 people, Thurii only also to provide for your one year by yourself with ease! Burkes self-confident saying. “我说过图里伊是大希腊最繁荣的城邦之一！你就是带一万人,图里伊仅靠自己也能轻松的供养你们一年！布尔科斯自信的说道。 „Good, hope so.” Davos discrete expressed optimistically, then also asked: „Also, do we go to Thurii? How many ships do you have?” “好吧,希望如此。”戴弗斯谨慎的表示乐观,然后又问:“还有,我们怎么去图里伊？你有多少船？” „I had reached an agreement with the Byzantium ship owners, so long as at the appointed time pays money, wants many ships to have many ships!” “我已经和拜占庭的船主们谈好了,到时只要付钱,要多少条船有多少条船！” „, Here Sparta person will agree that we do leave Thurii?” At this time, Davos asked most issue of concern. “那么,这里的斯巴达人会同意我们离开去图里伊吗？”这时,戴弗斯才问出自己最关心的问题。 „I am under the authorization of Sparta council, simultaneously Byzantium Chief Kerry Anders is having a headache about your existences, regarding your departures, he is glad to see him succeed.” Burkes confident reply. “我已经得到了斯巴达元老院的授权,同时拜占庭长官克里安德正头疼你们的存在,对于你们的离开,他乐见其成。”布尔科斯胸有成竹的回答。 Therefore, Davos very simple complying said: „It seems like you have arranged. Then, I will tell you tomorrow morning, soldiers that I must lead, and discussed a more detailed employment agreement with you.” 于是,戴弗斯很干脆的答应道:“看来你都已经安排好了。那么,我会在明天上午告诉你,我要率领的士兵人数,并和你商议一个更详细的雇佣协议。” „Good, I will come tomorrow morning again. Hopes what obtains is your good news!” Although from the beginning some twists and turns, but discussed finally, Burkes happy departure. “好的,我明早再来。希望得到的是你的好消息！”虽然一开始有些波折,但最终还是谈成了,布尔科斯心情愉快的离开。 „Dear, do you really prepare Thurii?” Cheiristoya of peaceful audit has been saying. “亲爱的,你真的准备去图里伊？”一直在安静旁听的克莉斯托娅开口说道。 „Right!” Davos turns around, in the look is glittering the exciting ray: „Cheiristoya, perhaps this is a good opportunity! Lets us the opportunity of fisherman in the fish by water turning into casts a net!” “对！”戴弗斯转过身来,眼神中闪烁着兴奋的光芒:“克莉斯托娅,或许这是一个好机会！一个让我们由水里的鱼变成撒网的渔夫的机会！” .............................. ………………………… Matonis sits on the ground, in the heart both excited and curious: Must know since he has been the platoon commander, but also has never participated in military compound the discussion and formulation of any decision, these by transmitting orders officer Asistes, urgent notice their these platoon commanders attended the conference time, has what big decision? 马托尼斯坐在地上,心中既兴奋又好奇:要知道自他担任分队长以来,还从未参与过军营里的任何决策的讨论和制定,这一次由传令官亚西斯特斯,紧急通知他们这些分队长参加会议,难道是有什么重大的决定？ He looked at all around, sees not far away Olivos loudly chatted with others, this boy also becomes the platoon commander now, was equal to his position, saw each time he made in his heart uncomfortable, therefore shouted loudly: „Olivos, here must hold the military conference, is not your tent, please keeps quiet!” 他看了看四周,见不远处奥利弗斯正大声的与旁人说笑,这个小子现在也成了分队长,和他地位相等,每次看到他就令他心中不爽,于是大声喊道:“奥利弗斯,这里要开军事会议,不是你的帐篷,请保持安静！” Olivos then said with a smile: „Originally is fierce Matonis, your two soldier who did violate the military discipline, to rob the Byzantium citizen punishes?” 奥利弗斯回头笑道:“原来是勇猛的马托尼斯啊,你那两个违反军规、抢劫拜占庭公民的士兵处罚了吗？” Matonis one hear of this saying, although a lot of fires, actually do not dare to shout loudly again. 马托尼斯一听这话,虽然一肚子火,却不敢再大喊大叫。 Since entering Armenia, Davos is the mercenaries pivotal leader, his military can not only obtains the approval of leader and soldier, conquered the heart of subordinate soldier, therefore he starts gradually to carry out the reorganization and reform to this team. 自从进入亚美尼亚以后,戴弗斯已经是雇佣军举足轻重的首领,他的军事才能不但得到诸位首领和士兵的认可,更是征服了下属士兵的心,于是他开始逐步对这支队伍进行整顿和改革。 At that time in the battle path in Armenia, the mercenaries repeatedly indigenous had the small conflict with the local area, the casualty person is also not infrequent including the team officers, moreover Armenia and afterward Sya, Taky and other places many were the mountainous regions, the large unit was not easy to launch. Therefore Davos according to the actual situation, first merges seven 200 people of regiments the army that 14 hundred people of teams compose, a regiment manages four 50 people of divisions, like this not only direction convenience, but also in the mountainous area combat, is more flexible: Because a division has the enough strong strength to repel the small enemy force, but a regiment had ability that assumes the independent combat duty, because it has four divisions, can battle with two divisions directly, another division circuitous flank, makes the preparation with a division again wait/etc. 当时在亚美尼亚的征途中,雇佣军不断与当地土著发生小的冲突,死伤的人包括队官也不在少数,而且亚美尼亚及后来的法西亚、陶基亚等地多是山地,大部队不易展开。于是戴弗斯根据实际情况,首先是将十四个百人队组成的军队合并成七个两百人的连队,一个连队下辖四个五十人的分队,这样不但指挥便利,而且在山区作战中,更灵活多变:因为一个分队就有足够强的战力击退小股敌人,而一个联队则有了承担独立作战任务的能力,因为它有四个分队,可以用两个分队正面作战,另一个分队迂回侧翼,再用一个分队做预备等等。 After this merge reorganization, the fighting efficiency of his team greatly enhances, even there is a soldier to say in private proudly: „Our Davos, not only Hades god family, obtained the inspiration of Athena!” 经过这番合并整顿之后,他的队伍的作战效能大大提高,甚至有士兵私下自豪的说:“我们的戴弗斯不只是哈迪斯的神眷者,也得到了雅典娜的启迪！” Then, when Davos taking advantage of having team of officers died is injured , the able trusted aide will promote, for example Hielos had been promoted to Chief even/including, but Matonis, Olivos, Giorgris wait/etc. becomes the platoon commander one after another, making him control to own army is more reliable. 然后,戴弗斯借着有队官死亡受伤之际,又将有能力的心腹提拔上去,比如希洛斯就已经升任了连队长,而马托尼斯、奥利弗斯、吉奥格里斯等都相继成为了分队长,使他对自己的部队掌控更加牢固。 Then, he starts to implement the second reform proposal, formulates «Military law», restrains the soldier strictly. This regarding the slack mercenary, wants their lives simply. But at that time the situation was special, in has a large number with the local indigenous conflict is because the soldiers go to the larceny, to rob the property to cause recklessly, therefore the standard discipline is to reduce the best way of conflict. However, Davos not only purges the discipline, but also is marching, camping, detection and other military also to do stipulated: For example, before Davos surprised constructed the simplicity of camp at the mercenaries, sometimes has not even protected, when he stipulates the camping, the camp must unearth the trench and build abati, to build up the earthen rampart. 接着,他又开始实施第二步改革计划,制定一部《军法》,严格约束士兵。这对于自由散漫的雇佣兵而言,简直是要他们的命。但当时情况特殊,在与当地土著冲突中有相当一部分是由于士兵们肆意去偷窃、抢劫财物引起的,所以规范军纪是减少冲突的最好办法。但是,戴弗斯不但整肃军纪,还在行军、宿营、侦查等军事方面也做了一些规定:比如,以前戴弗斯就惊讶于雇佣军建造营地之简单,有时甚至根本就没有防护,所以他规定宿营时,营地必须挖掘壕沟、布设鹿砦、建起土垒等。 From the beginning, the soldiers are not willing to carry out, marching to go to war to be very weary, but must do this pain to live, is tired! But raids the camp in twice mountain people at night, the soldiers of other camps burst greatly, the personnel casualty, the property loses, only has the Davos army under the protection of trench dirt wall safe and uneventful, the soldiers started from accept this stipulation at heart. Naturally, Davos made some simple stipulations in each aspect, he does not dare to be extremely earnest, for example: When combat escapes, putting in the previous generation from ancient to present is the grave offense of beheading, but he must do that the military compound soldier must revolt, therefore he only used some light penalty: The stick responsibility( has not dared to hit too), fasting, regarding regarding as important Greeks of honor, is in front of ally, was stripped off the pants to spank, is matter that loses face extremely, only if the peculiar circumstance, they will comply with the stipulation as far as possible. 一开始,士兵们都不愿意执行,行军打仗完了已经很疲倦,还要干这种苦活,累不累！可是在两次山民夜间袭营,其他营地的士兵大溃,人员死伤,财物损失,唯有戴弗斯的部队在壕沟土墙的保护下安然无事,士兵们才开始从心里接受了这一规定。当然,戴弗斯只是在各个方面做了一些简单的规定,他不敢太过认真,比如:作战时逃跑,搁在前世从古至今都是砍头的重罪,可他要这么做,军营的士兵非造反不可,所以他只采用了一些较轻的惩罚:杖责(还不敢打太多)、禁食等,对于看重荣誉的希腊人而言,当着战友的面,被脱光裤子打屁股,是件极丢面子的事,除非是特殊情况,他们都会尽量遵守规定。 Naturally, many soldiers could not endure the control to run other military compound, in addition the casualty soldier, the Davos military compound soldier number should drastically reduce is right. When the entire Greek mercenaries return to Byzantium,( refers to soldier reducing from the initial 13,000 people purely) to 9000 people( are more than half historical population, Davos played very major role). But when he now subordinate soldier number still and took over initially differs not in a big way, has about 1400 soldiers. 当然,有不少士兵忍受不了管束而跑去别的军营,再加上死伤的士兵,戴弗斯军营士兵数量应该大幅减少才对。要知道,整个希腊雇佣军回到拜占庭时,由最初的一万三千人(纯指士兵)减少到九千人(已经比历史上的人数多了一半,戴弗斯在其中起了很大的作用)。可是他现在麾下的士兵数仍与当初接手时相差不大,约有一千四百名士兵。 Reason that reason that the soldier number does not have the reduction has four: First, the Davos management army achieves as far as possible fairly fair, regardless of the team officers are ordinary the soldier, treats impartially, is not special. Fights and grabs the property of harvest each time also to press the merit to distribute by Marigi to the soldiers, oneself are penniless ; Second, his military development is strongest, the casualties are least, particularly after the army change. Regarding wanting to be living the soldier of going home, naturally is a dependence of powerful ; Third, the medical treatment and nursing camp that he establishes cured massively the injured soldier, half of soldiers chose staying behind, Cheiristoya intended to guide very major role ; Fourth, Davos individual charm. „God family”, military genius, collection mysterious in one, he is affable to the soldiers, even loads on a pack animal the wounded person...... the soldiers to be glad to accept his direction with own warhorse repeatedly, and called him for „our Davos” kindly. 之所以士兵数量没有减少的原因有四个:一、戴弗斯管理军队尽量做到公平公正,无论队官还是普通士兵,都一视同仁,并无特殊。每次战斗和劫掠收获的财物也都按功劳由马里吉分发给士兵们,自己两手空空;二、他的部队战斗力最强,伤亡最少,尤其是在军改之后。对于希望活着回家的士兵,当然是一个强力的依靠;三、他所建立的医护营治愈了大量的受伤士兵,有一半的士兵选择了留下,这其中克莉斯托娅的有意引导起了很大的作用;四、戴弗斯的个人魅力。“神眷者”、军事天才,集神秘于一身,他对士兵们却和蔼可亲,甚至多次用自己的战马驮负伤员……士兵们都乐于接受他的指挥,并亲切地称呼他为“我们的戴弗斯”。 Now, Davos leads the mercenaries to start gradually to adapt to these Davos over six months expedition, in the special environment looks like is quite simple, but to these soldiers already very strict military law. Therefore, Matonis knows that his soldier violated Davos before the laws that coming Byzantium makes beforehand, is must be punished, this is somewhat hard to accept regarding him of hiding shortcomings. At this moment, he has not fantasized is too many, because Davos has lifted the tent, brings Marigi, walked into the conference site. 现在,戴弗斯率领雇佣兵们在半年多的征战中、在特殊的环境下已开始逐渐适应这些戴弗斯看来还比较简单、但对这些士兵们已经很严格的军法。所以,马托尼斯知道他的士兵违反了戴弗斯在来拜占庭之前事先制定的法规,是肯定要受惩处的,这对于护短的他来说是有些难以接受。此刻,他已没空想太多,因为戴弗斯已经掀开帐幕,带着马里吉,步入了会场。 Note: The Thurii more than 10,000 citizen soldiers were annihilated this event historically to happen by Lucanians, but later( specific time about ten years unclear), after happened reason, will mention. 注:图里伊一万多公民兵被卢卡尼亚人歼灭这一事件在历史上真实发生过,不过是在大约十年后(具体时间不详),发生的原因以后会提到。
