„I understood, I will go to discuss this matter with Mersis tomorrow.” Philesius nods. “我明白了,我明天就去跟梅尔西斯商量这件事。”斐利修斯点头。 „Mersis this fellow is quite parsimonious, possibly only wants to delimit to draw toward the state treasury, you must adhere to the principle.” Davos half jokingly half earnest saying. “梅尔西斯这个家伙比较吝啬,可能只想往国库多划拉一些,你一定要坚持住原则。”戴弗斯半开玩笑半认真的说道。 „I will take away Amintas and Matonis tomorrow.” Philesius serious saying, said that two people laugh. “我明天把阿明塔斯、马托尼斯带去。”斐利修斯一本正经的说道,说完两人都大笑。 Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Philesius to give own idea carefully: „Sir, takes the post of the public service to have the pay to take, but should the service going to war time grew, cannot go home, send a pay?” 借着好气氛,斐利修斯小心地提出自己的想法:“大人,出任公职都有薪酬可拿,而服役打仗时间长了,又不能回家,是不是也该发点薪酬啊？” „Good, your Chief of Military started the learned to benefit toward own department.” Davos is pointing at him, ridicules to say. “好嘛,你这个军务官开始学会往自己部门捞好处了。”戴弗斯指着他,笑骂道。 Philesius also replied with a smile: „, The soldiers will blame my Chief of Military in office not to fulfill duty to fulfill responsibility if not.” 斐利修斯也笑着回答:“如果不这样,士兵们会怪我这个军务官在任期内没有尽职尽责。” „According to the truth should to give. I remember that some people have said that ‚the sailor who Athens goes to battle with was one day two Obold, heavy infantry one day four Obold......’” Davos recalls was saying. “按道理应该是要给的。我记得有人说过,‘雅典出征的水手是一天两个奥波尔,重步兵一天四个奥波尔……’”戴弗斯回忆着说。 „That's true, Sir.” “确实如此,大人。” Davos sighed: „But that is Athens, it is one of the entire Mediterranean wealthiest city-state, can pay this pay, the Theonia pledge now is not good. The public officials are less than 200 people, the state treasury can also pay reluctantly. Goes to battle with soldiers one time is not several thousand is over ten thousand, the soldier presses even for day a person of Obold, every day must pay how much money, you calculate! Only was rebuilds Thurii and payment public officials pay has made Mersis unable to endure, if you mentioned this matter again, it is estimated that he can go all out with you.” 戴弗斯叹了口气:“但那是雅典,它是整个地中海最富裕的城邦之一,能付得起这薪酬,戴奥尼亚盟现在还不行。公职人员不到两百人,国库勉强还能支付。一次出征士兵人数不是几千就是上万,士兵就算按一天一人一个奥波尔,每天就得付出多少钱,你算算！光是重建图里伊和支付公职人员薪酬就已经让梅尔西斯吃不消了,你如果再提这个事儿,估计他会和你拼命。” Davos smiles, affirmative saying: „And other future alliances had money, you felt relieved that I will not make the soldiers who go to battle with suffer a loss!” 戴弗斯笑了笑,肯定的说道:“等将来联盟有钱了,你放心吧,我是不会让出征的士兵们吃亏的！” Although merely is the oral commitment of Davos, Philesius was actually confident. Not is only because Davos always keeps the word, moreover Philesius and Davos work together as colleagues for a long time, his deep awareness: Davos is an ambition very big person, is unable the army of long duration battle unable to realize his ambition. 虽然仅仅是戴弗斯的口头承诺,斐利修斯却是心里有底了。不光是因为戴弗斯一贯守信用,而且斐利修斯与戴弗斯长期共事,他深深的知道:戴弗斯是一个志向很大的人,一支无法长期作战的军队是无法实现他的志向的。 „Army in the Nerulum discipline how?” Davos also asked. “部队在尼乌图姆的军纪如何？”戴弗斯又问道。 „Is good, has not had any conflict with Nerulum Lucanians.” Philesius said with a smile: „Naturally this also you must hold the victory triumphal returning ceremony to be related for them with the Sir, they were afraid violated the discipline, but is unable to attend the ceremony.” “还算不错,没有与尼乌图姆的卢卡尼亚人发生任何冲突。”斐利修斯笑道:“当然这也跟大人你要为他们举行胜利凯旋仪式有关,他们害怕违反了军纪而无法参加仪式。” „A soldier who has the sense of honor can be a good citizen!” Davos said after a sigh, in the mind appeared possibly, once to expedite Persia these allies forthcoming together, wanted to be used to grab, unrestricted them in the Theonia alliance do not stir up is too troublesome. “一个有荣誉感的士兵会是一个好公民！”戴弗斯感叹道,脑海里浮现出可能会即将到来的、曾一起远征波斯的那些战友们,希望习惯了劫掠、不受约束的他们不要在戴奥尼亚联盟惹起太多麻烦。 Depresses worry that in the heart just braved, he looks at Philesius: „Did you prepare to accept the people to inspect?” 压下心中刚刚冒出来的担忧,他看着斐利修斯:“你准备好接受民众检阅了吗？” „I......” this half a lifetime unexpectedly appear in the moderate man who the battlefield passed somewhat am anxious and shy. “我……”这个半生都在战场度过的性格温和的男子竟显得有些紧张和害羞。 „Hey, having anything is quite anxious, is not only then your one person participate, Drakos, Epiphanes and Hieronymus they are accompanying! To the alliance people demonstrated well our Theonia general image, must make them know, only then battles for the alliance heroically, can enjoy such lofty honor!” Davos is patting his shoulder, serious saying. “嘿,有什么好紧张的,又不是只有你一个人参加,还有德拉克斯、埃皮忒尼斯、希罗尼穆斯他们陪着吗！好好向联盟民众展示我们戴奥尼亚将领的形象,要让他们知道,只有为联盟英勇作战,才能享受这样崇高的荣誉！”戴弗斯拍着他的肩膀,郑重的说道。 Philesius understands the significance of this triumphal returning type to army, therefore even more is unable to make itself relaxed. 斐利修斯明白这场凯旋式对军队的意义,因此越发无法让自己轻松起来。 Davos has to change the topic: „Right, the Bagul their fourth brigade must participate in this time triumphal returning type, must therefore make the first brigade go to Nerulum to replace their several days.” 戴弗斯只好把话题转开:“对了,巴古勒她们第四大队也要参加这次的凯旋式,因此得让第一大队去尼乌图姆顶替他们几天。” Davos thinks was saying: „Later settles down on the Bagul fourth brigade soldier in Nerulum. Like this they can nearby defend Nerulum, we can also save expenditure militarily...... the military qualities of fourth brigade unable to meet our requirements by far, must turn the school teachers to conduct the strict training in the past......” 戴弗斯思索着说道:“以后就巴古勒的第四大队士兵定居在尼乌图姆。这样他们可以就近防御尼乌图姆,我们也可以节省在军事上的花费……不过第四大队的军事素质还远远达不到我们的要求,必须轮流派教官过去进行严格的训练……” Davos is saying, sees Philesius to start to speak but hesitate, asking of doubts: „What's wrong, are you worried about the fourth brigade?” 戴弗斯说着,见斐利修斯欲言又止,疑惑的问道:“怎么,你担心第四大队？” „No, I am not worried about the fourth brigade. Bagul is a making a clear distinction between right and wrong good leader, will be the Greeks son-in-law, his soldier hand/subordinate mostly believe him, but the sisters of these Lucania soldiers basically married our citizens, therefore in our alliance, particularly the Amendolara Greek citizen and their Lucania citizen has related very closely. Since therefore going to battle, fourth brigade's performance very positive initiative, the coordination with other brigades is also good!” Philesius said: „I want to ask the Sir, the Lao River fort need the soldier to guard for a long time, how is this issue solved?” The Theonia alliance does not have the professional soldier, is impossible to make the citizen soldier divorce from own life, long-term guarding there. “不,我不担心第四大队。巴古勒是个明辨是非的好首领,而且又将是希腊人的女婿,他手下的士兵又大多信服他,而这些卢卡尼亚士兵的姐妹基本都嫁给了我们的公民,所以在我们联盟中,尤其是阿门多拉腊的希腊公民和他们卢卡利亚公民已经关系很是密切。因此出征以来,第四大队的表现得非常积极主动,与其他大队的配合也不错！”斐利修斯称赞道:“我只是想问大人,拉河要塞需要有士兵长期驻守,这个问题怎么解决？”戴奥尼亚联盟没有职业士兵,不可能让公民兵脱离自己的生活,长期驻守在那里。 It looks like this in Philesius is a difficult problem, but Davos has solution: „Lets prepare the citizen to guard in turn, is they becomes the inspection content that the alliance official citizens must conduct. Meanwhile, lets the veteran be the teacher, goes to the Lao River fort to be the team officer, manages them, trains them, this takes the Lao River fort as the military training base of alliance. First, the training prepares the citizen to become the qualified soldier ; Second, the training veteran becomes the qualified reserve forces officer. Third, can guard the Lao River fort for a long time......” 在斐利修斯看来这是个难题,但是戴弗斯早就有解决的办法:“让预备公民去轮流驻守,算是他们成为联盟正式公民必须进行的考核内容。同时,也让老兵担任教官,去拉河要塞担任队官,管理他们,训练他们,这样就把拉河要塞作为联盟的一个军事训练基地。第一,训练预备公民成为合格的士兵;第二,训练老兵成为合格的预备队官。第三,可以长期驻守拉河要塞……” Davos spoke with confidence, obviously passed through careful and deep consideration: „The Lao River fort controls Thurii to go to Laos and goes to the Lucania important highway, I believe this path quickly because merchant increases suddenly, but is busy. You think to look, the caravan can not use after the Messina channel, accepts exploiting of Messina and Rhegion, but through the land route, can arrive at west coast of Italian Peninsula Laos harbor directly, and Laos is our union, has preferential in the tariff, therefore has very strong attraction to the Greek merchants very much. Moreover, so long as we can stabilize the Lucania situation, then Lucania certain cargos, for example the furs and cattle...... wait/etc can also capture the attention of merchant similarly. Therefore, we in the passing tariff of Lao River fort collection minimum proportion, do not need to dampen the enthusiasm of merchants, moreover can let the alliance with the food supply of this money purchase guarding army, simultaneously is unable to work for the soldiers 2-3 months, pays for certain living expense, should be has more than enough to spare......” 戴弗斯侃侃而谈,显然是经过了深思熟虑:“拉河要塞控制着图里伊前往拉俄斯和前往卢卡尼亚的要道,我相信这条道路很快就会因为商人的急剧增多而繁忙起来。你想想看,商队可以不用经过墨西拿海峡,接受墨西拿和利吉姆的盘剥,而直接通过陆路,就能到达亚平宁半岛的西海岸拉俄斯港口,并且拉俄斯还是我们的同盟,在关税上有优惠,因此对希腊商人来说是很有很大吸引力的。另外,只要我们能稳定卢卡利亚的局势,那么卢卡尼亚的某些货物,比如毛皮、牛羊……等等同样也能吸引商人的目光。因此,我们在拉河要塞征收极小比例的通关税,不用挫伤商人们的积极性,而且还能让联盟用这笔钱购买驻守部队的食物供应,同时为士兵们2-3个月无法工作,支付一定的生活费用,应该是绰绰有余……” Just the business content that started Davos to talk about made Philesius hear dizzy, until mentioning the guarding army of Lao River fort, Philesius understood what is heard food and pay of guarding army can through gathering passes the way easy acquisition solution of tariff, the big feeling admired. 刚开始戴弗斯谈到的商贸内容让斐利修斯听得头昏脑胀,直到提及拉河要塞的驻守部队,斐利修斯才听明白驻守部队的食物和薪酬可以通过收取通关税的方式轻而易举的获得解决,不禁大感佩服。 „Requires three days of time from Thurii through the mountain road to Nerulum probably?” Davos asked suddenly. “从图里伊通过山道到尼乌图姆大概需要三天时间吧？”戴弗斯突然问道。 „Yes, Sir. When we embarked before the marching speed is quite fast, even this still spent for three days, perhaps the normal marching speed takes about four days.” Philesius replied. “是的,大人。我们之前出发时行军速度比较快,即使这样也花费了三天,正常的行军速度恐怕要四天左右。”斐利修斯回答。 „If there is team to transport again, the time of perhaps spending were much.” Davos is tapping the chairback with the finger, muttered: „Therefore must as soon as possible will construct Thurii Nerulum Laos among path matter puts on the agenda, best is three cities also constructs, this can connects Thurii and Lucania, strengthens the relation , to promote the fusion......” “如果再有驮队输送,恐怕花费的时间就更多了吧。”戴弗斯用手指轻敲着椅背,喃喃自语:“因此必须尽快的将修建图里伊-尼乌图姆-拉俄斯之间的道路这件事提上日程,最好是三座城市同时修建,这样才能将图里伊和卢卡尼亚连接起来,加强联系,增进融合……” ........................... ……………………… Three days later, Davos proposed that must go to Nerulum. 三天后,戴弗斯提出要前往尼乌图姆。 Some senior statesmen on the grounds of Nerulum political situation also unstable, want to advise against him in this time do not go. 一些元老以尼乌图姆政局还不稳定为由,想劝阻他不要在此时前往。 He replied firmly: „I go for stabler Nerulum!” Finally convinced council, can make the trip. 他坚定的回答:“我去就是为了更加稳定尼乌图姆！”最终说服了元老院,得以成行。 In the team of journey includes Vespa, Scambras and Tritto Demos more than ten senior statesman who does not have the public service, is responsible for escorting by the officers of first brigade, simultaneously the first brigade is also replaces guarding temporarily in the Nerulum fourth brigade, with the aim of letting them to come back to participate in the triumphal returning type. In addition, the family of fourth brigade soldiers, the merchants of a small number of alliances. 出行的队伍中包括韦斯巴、斯康姆布拉斯、特里托德莫斯等十几位没有公职的元老,由第一大队的将士负责护送,同时第一大队也是去暂时顶替驻守在尼乌图姆的第四大队,以便让他们能回来参加凯旋式。此外,还有第四大队士兵们的家眷,少数联盟的商人。 Small Heracleides has been busy thinking recently: How to make the wooden bridge on Crati river. Finally had some features, just wants to begin construction to experiment, finally was drawn forcefully by Davos, squeezes in the journey team, said that is how makes him inspect to construct Thurii Nerulum Laos main road. 小赫拉克利德最近一直忙着思索:如何建造克拉蒂河上的木桥。终于是有了些眉目,正想开始动工试验,结果被戴弗斯强行拉来,塞入出行队伍中,说是让他考察一下如何修建图里伊-尼乌图姆-拉俄斯大道。 Small Hera Krider does not have his father's stubbornness, moreover Davos is too heavy to his benevolence, he has to put to start on to work temporarily, goes to Nerulum reluctantly. But once his thrust build-up, its dedicated degree can make him neglect periphery the bad environment, with the status of others. 小赫拉克里德没有他父亲的倔脾气,而且戴弗斯对他的恩情太重,他只好暂时搁下手上工作,无奈地随队前往尼乌图姆。可一旦他进入工作状态,其专注的程度可以让他忽视到周围糟糕的环境,和其他人的身份。 „The ground in this mountain has many sharp stones, must polish, this will increase many practical training without doubt, causes to construct group of speeds to slow down!” “这山里的地面有不少的尖石,都必须打磨掉,这无疑会增加很多的劳作,导致建路速度变慢！” „You looked, this mountain wall has many surface dust, once will rain possibly to be flushed to fall, will stop up the path, must therefore conduct fixedly with the mortar, these long the young tree on cliff must reduce!” “你们看,这山壁有很多的浮土,一旦下雨可能就会被冲落下来,堵塞道路,因此必须用砂浆进行固定,还有那些长在山崖上的小树也得砍掉！” „This mountain road was too narrow, conducts the back the car(riage) unable to pass including one, must expand the width!......, I thought that we can light a fire to roast this bulk prominent mountain wall, re-waters the cold water, can make it blast out. However carefully, be not burning the mountain forest!” “这一段的山道太窄了,连一辆驮车都无法通过,必须要扩宽！……嗯,我看我们可以烧火烤这一大块突出的山壁,再浇冷水,就可以让它炸开。不过得小心,别烧着了山林！” ...... …… Davos and senior statesmen are crowding around small Heracleides like the student, how listening to him to observe and analyze to construct the main road in mountainous area, the approaching speed of entire team naturally cannot be too fast. 戴弗斯和元老们像学生一样簇拥着小赫拉克利德,听他观察和分析着如何修建山区里的大道,整个队伍的行进速度自然不会太快。 By the evening, the team can only sleep outside in the mountain road, convoy guard and first brigade prepare warning line and sentry post. 到了傍晚,全队只能露宿在山道中,护卫队和第一大队布置好警戒线和岗哨。 Regarding the families of fourth brigade, the mountain ridge is their families/home, long-separated one year returns the land that this they are familiar with, their breath became smooth. They very natural lies on the ground, quick fell asleep. 对于第四大队的家眷们而言,山岭就是她们的家,阔别一年重新回到这块她们熟悉的土地,她们的呼吸都变得顺畅了许多。她们很自然的席地而卧,很快就进入了梦乡。 The soldiers of first brigade mostly have expedited Persia, the open country camping was most ordinary. 第一大队的士兵们大多远征过波斯,野外宿营是最平常不过了。 The merchants bustle about, can withstand for profit anything painstakingly. 商人们东奔西走,为了利润什么苦都能承受。
