Amintas' reason is simple and crude - than seniority.
The reason why Davos was surprised was because if this was a joint decision of the military elders, someone would have come to tell him in advance. If not, then this might have been Amintas' private decision: Was it wrong to the elders in the past? Amyntas, who was interested in the meeting of the Senate, was very quiet after launching active duty in the army, and wanted to develop in the Senate? !
Of course, Agarcia and Amintas were good friends during their expedition to Persia. They have been in close contact with each other all these years. It is understandable that Amintas wants to help his friends. However, there are many mercenaries who have turned to politics, Hiros, Capps, Sesta, Adrianx... Agarcia is one of the more inconspicuous ones, and he has served many times over the years. The chief executive of the town has always been quite satisfactory, and has not had a very impressive political performance. Therefore, Davos does not think that he can manage this area that has been ravaged the most by war, and lead the people of the south coast of Sicily and the people of Siker. Get out of the post-war predicament as soon as possible...
Of course, nothing can be absolute, and Agarcia is Davos' old subordinate after all, and has always been diligent in completing the tasks he assigned, so he does not intend to stop it: However, Amintas thought he raised his arms , the veterans sent by the army and other veterans who are friends with him will all support him, which is a big mistake.
The Dionysian Kingdom has been established for almost 20 years. There are nearly 100 veterans from the army before and after, each with their own interests and demands. It is not the time for the original mercenary veterans to respond, even the few veterans. The navy could not be completely united, and sometimes divided into two factions, the Cykrian and the Midorads, not to mention the huge army. Rising stars with outstanding military exploits like Prosous and Printoles don't mix with the mercenary elders at all; and new elders like Patroclus and Sextus don't mix with the old men. Obedience; generals from other regions like Lizaru and Urazha also have their own racial appeals; even the mercenary elders themselves are not monolithic. Alexis and Amintas)... This is exactly what Davos wants, because only he can unite the elders of the military faction, and if they can twist themselves into a rope, then it is Divers. s worried.
Next to Saru, who stood up the second, he still recommended Hegsitus.
Davos still recognizes the ability of Hegesitus, but Saru recommends at this time, is he confident that he will be able to fight against the veterans of the army? Or Sedorum, who is behind him, saw that Amintas was pretending to be a fox, and believed that the land on the south coast of Sicily was small and sparsely populated, and it involved complex issues such as post-war reconstruction and the integration of the Sikel people in the mountains. , so it is not attractive to some veterans, and the competition will not be too fierce
Davos glanced at Sedorum in the front row of the venue: This old guy is quite shrewd and knows how to find soft persimmons, but can he really do what he wants
Davos leaned back against the seat, watching with interest the development of things.
Sure enough, there were very few recommenders, but just as the etiquette officer was about to announce the start of voting, a shout came from behind him: "Wait a minute, I also have someone to recommend!"
There was an uproar in the venue.
Antaoris stood up and said confidently: "The law does not stipulate that the rotating chairman responsible for presiding over the meeting has no right to elect."
Oh, this is interesting! ... Davers stroked his chin with his hand, guessing in his mind the candidate he was going to recommend, ready to watch the show.
Antaoris cleared his throat, straightened his chest, and said aloud, "The person I want to recommend is Crayrou!"
Kleirou, who was sitting in the venue, was stunned when he heard this, because he hadn't spoken to Antaoris beforehand, so he didn't expect that the rotating chairman would actually recommend him. Originally, he really coveted the position of the chief executive of the south coast of Sicily, and even planned to recommend himself, but after seeing that both Amyntas and Saru had recommended candidates, he thought that he had a low chance of winning, so he chose to give up, but he did not expect things. Turned around again.
"The first time Lord Crelu served as the town administrator was in Knapetia, and after that, he has been in the Sicilian mountains. He has been in the four years of Hena and Enna for four years, and his political performance has been relatively good. We all know that most of the territory of the southern coast of Sicily is in the mountains, and the population is also dominated by the Sikers. If the problem of the Sikers is solved, the problems of the southern Sicily will be solved, and Creiro is the The best candidate."
Davos nodded secretly, thinking that Antaoris was right. To be honest, he really forgot about the candidate Clayrou.
Sedorum was a little uneasy: first Breru, now Kleirou, one after another Bixinian embarrassed himself, and let other elders see his jokes, although Bixinia had already belonged to Tuli Yeh, but they were both Brutians. Especially Clayrou, who used to love to be close to Bachilippi and didn't have much contact with himself, but now, he is the head of the Brutians and the rotating chairman of the Senate. If you want to participate in the election, why not talk to yourself? Say it, but let this guy intervene!
Sedorum looked at Antaoris who was standing behind the rostrum, and his heart was full of anger: Antaoris does things according to his preferences. He can put someone in front of many elders in the venue There is no place to be ashamed to refute it, or you can feel that this person is suitable and fully recommended when selecting the chief executive of the town. Although he has no faction, but he has been the rotating chairman for all these years, many elders still recognize him. Gesitus won't necessarily win.
Just when Sedorum was depressed, the debate in the venue had already begun: "Kleirou first stayed in Hena for 4 years, then in Enna for 4 years, and in the same area for 8 years, this It has passed the time limit and should not be competing for the prefect of the southern region of Sicily again."
"You have to make it clear that in the regional administrative planning made by His Majesty last time, Hena was assigned to the Catania region, so there is no problem you mentioned at all!"
"The southern part of Sicily has both mountainous areas and many seaside towns. Mr. Crelu's previous experience was all in the mountains, and he obviously lacked experience in how to manage seaside towns..."
"As the elder of the kingdom, you don't even know the geography of the country. I'm really ashamed of you! Isn't Knapetia a seaside town! It was during the reign of Kleirou that Knapetia was the port It has been expanded, and maritime trade has developed... From these we can see that he still has experience in governing seaside towns... "
…
Antaoris refuted the elders who raised their opinions to the point of being speechless, and also contributed to the final election of Clayrou.
Of course, it is also related to Breru's good performance in the Western Mediterranean War. He not only cooperated tacitly with generals such as Alexis, Lizaru, Epithenis, etc., but also actively cooperated with Cypros, Milo and other generals after the war. Long and Adriankes reorganized and governed the Sikers. These elders not only voted for him, but also led others to support him.
When the voting result was announced, Clayrou was both surprised and happy, and the whole expression seemed a bit funny, but this result was mainly due to his own efforts.
Amintas was a little annoyed, but Agarcia felt a little indifferent. He used to be a destitute mercenary, but now he is a noble elder of the kingdom, who governs towns of thousands or tens of thousands, and has more power than the chief general of a city-state. Great, he's already very satisfied. Of course, this is also related to his getting older, his energy waning, and his desire to enjoy it.
Hegsitus was frustrated by losing again, but the election continued: "The next district to vote is Downey!"
It's finally the turn of Greater Greece! The elders sat up straight again. Plagulos, commander of the 4th Cavalry Corps, the first to stand up: "I recommend Torrex..."
Plegulius is a Mesapien and does not recommend Apirosia, the head of his own race, but the head of Pucherti, but this is not surprising, since everyone knows that he is related to Apirosia The reason for the discord is very simple: when the Dionysian army attacked the Mesapi territory on a large scale, Apirosia, the leader of the Udier tribe, was the first to lead the tribe to surrender early, which led to many Mesa The Pi tribe learned from it, and the conquest of the entire Messapi became much easier. At that time, Plagulus, who was still stubbornly resisting, hated Apirucia. Even after more than ten years, the two sides were already kingdoms. Colleague, this resentment has not completely disappeared, so Plegulus is reluctant to associate with the Mesapi elders headed by Apirosia, and is more willing to fight with the Puchetti who once fought together and were of the same race. contact.
Of course, most of the elders didn't care about the grievances between Pregulus and Apirosia. They were concerned about the recommended Torrex, who had served as a town administrator for several times, and his performance was quite satisfactory. Amazing performance, but he has a good son-in-law, Marcellis Adoris, whose name was Davos Adoris, the adopted son of King Davos. It is said that His Majesty the King is very concerned about this adopted son. At a young age, he was about to be promoted to the captain of the legion. In the past, the elders took into account the special status of Tonix, and tried to give him the convenience without conflict of interest. At this time, they all subconsciously turned their attention to King Davos in the center of the venue.
