Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Go to a banquet
An army is like a machine. Only when its parts run smoothly can it exert its strongest combat power.
The Roman soldiers of this era are sometimes really difficult to manage. The famous general Luculus under Sura later attacked the King of Pontus and won many battles.
After entering the boundary of Greece, fearing that they would disturb the people, they refused to let the soldiers enter the town. Instead, they ordered to rest outside the town. In addition, the money distributed to the soldiers was reduced. The Roman soldiers resisted collectively and stopped fighting.
When Krassus was defeated and encountered difficulties, he was forced to negotiate with Parthia before his soldiers were forced to negotiate with Parthia. Krassus shouted in front of all the officers: “All the Roman officers present, you can see me. The reason for the trip is not to be deceived by lies, nor is it that you don’t know that you will be humiliated and persecuted. If you can escape your lives, you can tell everyone. Crassou’s death was not a result of the enemy’s tricks, but a compatriot’s failure to defend Discipline and defiance of orders.”
At the end of the negotiation, Krasu was killed by the Parthians.
Li Wei doesn’t want his men to be the kind of undisciplined soldiers, so he attaches great importance to military discipline.
After briefly reading the training of the guards, the ten captains were all suffocated after seeing Li Wei, and shouted at the guards, wanting to perform in Li Wei.
A few days later, all the guards will have a big match between the captain and the deputy captain, and the centurion and deputy centurion will be selected.
This is very rare in the Roman army. Positions above centurion are often held by knights and nobles. Many knights and nobles join the army at the lowest centurion start. For example, when Caesar entered the army, he was a military civic officer in charge of 600 people. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to be promoted to centurion.
What’s more, for every level up, the monthly salary will be doubled, and a centurion can get a monthly salary of 80 dinars.
And they heard that military guardians will also be born in the centurion and reserve officers.
Honor and money both stimulate these ten captains to express themselves like peacocks on the screen.
Getta noticed Li Wei’s arrival, and immediately ran over with a smile on his face.
“Patriarch, you are here, see how they train?”
“Okay.”
Li Wei said blankly, “By the way, take me to the barracks. I’m going to check the housekeeping.”
Getta’s complexion immediately stepped down, not only him, even the guards did not understand why Li Wei caught the internal affairs.
Watching Li Wei walk towards the barracks, many people’s legs began to tremble.
They are not afraid of training, they are afraid of Li Weicha’s internal affairs, because Li Wei’s request is really abnormal.
came to the barracks, due to the rush of time, these are just one-story wooden buildings.
But Li Wei plans to build them into a stone building with three floors above ground and two floors underground.
Now Rome has the ability to build this kind of building. Later Augustus specifically stipulated that Rome’s houses must not be higher than 60 Roman feet (a Roman foot is 296 mm), which is about 5 stories high.
Checked it out immediately after entering a barracks. A standard ancient Roman barracks was divided into two rooms: the inside and the outside. The inside was used for sleeping and the outside was used for equipment.
There were 8 people in a team, but after the reform of Mario, it became 10.
Therefore, there are 5 bunk beds in the inner room, in addition to a table for the soldiers to have fun.
Li Wei first came to the outside room, saw some messy toiletries, and immediately said very dissatisfied: “This, throw it out.”
“There is this one, throw it out.”
“Throw it all out to me.”
“…”
One by one the guards stepped forward and threw those things out.
These are just the beginning, and I immediately smelled a peculiar smell after entering the inner room.
Li Wei quickly covered his nose, “How come the smell is so unpleasant.”
Then he found a few short coats hidden under a bed, and a burst of sweat came from inside.
“Look back and ask who it is, let him clean the toilet for two weeks.”
Li Wei said unceremoniously.
A clerk used a wax board to record Li Wei’s orders, and saw everything being thrown out mercilessly, and Geeta was downhearted like a defeated soldier.
Dear Patriarch, do you need to be so serious?
The ten captains who were trained outside were also terribly worried. The internal affairs accounted for a large part of the assessment. Once the internal affairs were unqualified, promotion to the centurion was basically impossible.
Seeing the objects being thrown out, a ten commander was dizzy for a while.
It’s over! Completely finished!
After inspecting a few barracks, Li Wei was very dissatisfied with the sanitation of the barracks, which was far from the spotless barracks of later generations.
“I decided to set up the Military Law Department, which is specifically used to check the military discipline and internal affairs of the guards. Leberis, would you like to be the first military judge.”
Li Wei said to a young man beside him.
This young man is an old man in the guard, with a dull personality but a sense of justice.
The internal affairs inspection should not have been handed over to the military judge, but now there is no centurion, so I can only catch the ducks on the shelves.
“is this real?”
Leberis said with a surprised look that he is about to develop.
“Yes, the Military Law Department is an independent department and is directly responsible to me, without observing other people’s orders. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
Li Wei glanced at Getta and said.
“I do.”
Leberis said quickly.
“When you look back, you choose 50 people to form the Military Law Department. I will hold you accountable for any problems with the Military Law Department.”
Li Wei said.
“no problem.”
Leberis said quickly.
Li Wei also put aside a worry, and finally handed over the job of checking the housekeeping. Although the housekeeping check is very prestigious and powerful, it is easy to be circled by the guards.
As the head of the family, I should be respected and loved by the guards. How can I be drawn into circles?
So this kind of thing is better left to others.
Li Wei gave a few more words, but Geta looked depressed. Is he decentralized?

In Li Wei’s bedroom, with Yulia’s help, Li Wei is wearing a white toga.
This is not Li Wei’s hypocrisy, but Toga’s clothes are very complicated, with a lot of pleats, and they must be put on with the help of others.
Toga is made of white wool cut into an oval, and its thickness varies with the seasons.
This is a kind of clothing that can only be worn by adults. Li Wei is only 16 years old this year, so he cannot wear it.
But as the head of the family, it’s a bit shameful to wear that blouse to go out, so it’s no problem to wear it in advance.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Yulia exclaimed.
Li Wei has short black hair. Due to a good diet, he is taller than his peers, about 1.75 meters.
Light gray eyes with a hint of cynicism, he looks like a youthful young man.
