Roman Slave Owner

The army is like a machine. Only when all parts are running smoothly can it exert the most powerful combat power.

Roman soldiers in this era were sometimes really difficult to manage. Luculus, a famous general under Sulla, later attacked the king of Pontus and won many battles.

After entering the borders of Greece, fearing that they would disturb the people, the soldiers were not allowed to enter the town, but were ordered to rest outside the town. In addition, the soldiers were given less money, so the Roman soldiers disobeyed collectively and stopped fighting.

When Crassus was defeated and encountered difficulties, he was forced by his soldiers to negotiate with Parthia before he was at the end of his life. Crassus shouted to all the officers: "All Roman officers present, you can see me The reason for this trip is not to be deceived by lies, nor is it because you don’t know that you will be humiliated and persecuted. If you can escape with your life, you can tell everyone. Crassus’ death is not because of the enemy’s tricks, but because of the incompetence of his compatriots Discipline and disobedience to orders."

Finally, during the negotiations, Crassus was killed by the Parthians.

Li Wei didn't want his subordinates to become that kind of undisciplined soldiers, so he attached great importance to military discipline.

After a brief look at the training of the guards, the ten commanders suffocated their strength when they saw Li Wei, and shouted at the guards, wanting to show it to Li Wei.

A few days later, all the guards will hold a big contest between the tenth commander and the deputy centurion to choose the centurion and deputy centurion.

This is very rare in the Roman army. Positions above a centurion are often held by knights and nobles. Many knights and nobles start as centurions at the lowest level. For example, Caesar was a military tribune in charge of 600 people when he first entered the army. It is very difficult for ordinary civilians to become centurions.

What's more, the monthly salary will be doubled for every level up, and a centurion can get a monthly salary of 80 dinars.

And they heard that military tribunes would also be born among the centurions and the corps of reserve officers.

Both honor and money stimulate these ten captains to express themselves like peacocks with their tails open.

Geta noticed Li Wei's arrival, and immediately ran over with a smile on his face.

"Patriarch, you are here to see how they are training?"

"Okay."

Li Wei said blankly, "By the way, take me to the barracks, I'm going to check the internal affairs."

Geta's complexion immediately turned down, not only him, but even the guards didn't understand why Li Wei was so stubborn about the internal affairs.

Watching Li Wei walk towards the barracks, many people's legs began to tremble.

They are not afraid of training, but they are afraid of Li Wei's investigation of internal affairs, because Li Wei's request is too perverted.

When I came to the barracks, due to the rush of time, these were just wooden one-story buildings.

However, Li Wei intends to build them into a stone building with three floors above ground and two floors underground.

Now Rome has the strength to build this kind of building. Later Augustus specifically stipulated that houses in Rome are forbidden to be higher than 60 Roman feet (one Roman foot is 296 mm), which is about 5 stories high.

After entering a barracks, check it immediately. A standard ancient Roman barracks is divided into two rooms, the inner room is used for sleeping, and the outer room is used for storing equipment.

Originally, there were 8 people in a team, but after Mario's reform, it became 10 people.

Therefore, five bunk beds were placed in the inner room, and there was also a table for the soldiers to play.

Li Wei came to the outside room first, and when he saw some messy toiletries, he immediately said very dissatisfied: "This, throw it out."

"And this, throw it out."

"Throw them all out for me."

"..."

One by one, the guards stepped forward and threw those things out.

These are just the beginning, and immediately after entering the inner room, there is a strange smell.

Li Wei quickly covered his nose, "Why is the smell so bad?"

Then he found several jackets hidden under a bunk,

A burst of sweaty smell came from inside.

"Look back and ask who it is, let him clean the toilet for two weeks."

Li Wei said bluntly.

A clerk used a wax tablet to record Li Wei's orders. Seeing things being thrown out without mercy, Geta was as dejected as a soldier who had lost a battle.

Dear Patriarch, do you need to be so serious?

The centurions trained outside were also terribly worried. Internal affairs accounted for a large part of the assessment. Once the internal affairs failed, it was basically impossible to be promoted to centurion.

Seeing things being thrown out one by one, a ten-man became dizzy for a while.

It's over! It's over!

After inspecting several 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 a military law department to check the military discipline and internal affairs of the guards. Lebiris, are you willing to be the first military judge?"

Li Wei said to a young man beside him.

This young man is the old man of the guards, with a dull personality but a sense of justice.

The inspection of internal affairs should not have been handed over to military judges, but now there are no centurions, so they can only drive ducks to the shelves.

"is this real?"

Lebiris said with a look of surprise that he is about to develop.

"Yes, the Military Law Department is an independent department, which is directly responsible to me and does not need to listen to other people's orders."

Li Wei glanced at Geta and said.

"I would."

Liberias said quickly.

"Looking back, you pick 50 people to form the Military Law Department, and I will hold you accountable for any problems in the Military Law Department."

Levi said.

"no problem."

Liberias said quickly.

Li Wei also let go of one thing in his mind, and finally handed over the work of inspecting internal affairs. Although inspecting internal affairs is very prestigious and powerful, it is easy for the guards to make circles behind their backs.

As the head of the family, he should be respected and loved by the guards, how can he be circled?

So it's better to leave this kind of thing to others.

Li Wei ordered a few more words, but Geta looked depressed. Is he being decentralized?

In Li Wei's bedroom, with the help of Yulia, Li Wei was wearing a white toga.

It's not that Li Wei is hypocritical, but that clothes like toga are very complicated, with a lot of folds, and they must be put on with the help of others.

The toga is made of oval white wool, the thickness of which varies with the seasons.

This is a kind of clothes that adults can only wear. Li Wei is only 16 years old this year, so it is reasonable to say that he cannot wear it.

But as the head of the family, it would be embarrassing to wear that kind of short shirt to go out, so there is no problem in putting it on in advance.

"It's so beautiful."

Julia exclaimed.

Li Wei has short black hair. Because of his good diet, he is taller than his peers, about 1.75 meters tall.

The light gray eyes have a hint of cynicism, and they look like young people in full bloom.
