Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Following the official system of ancient China, two groups of civil servants and military officers were divided. Both parties performed their duties without interfering with each other, thus achieving a separation of civil and military systems.

    In order to relieve himself of his worries, Achilles specially established a three-minister system, that is, adding the three highest ministers, the Minister of State, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, and the Minister of Military Affairs.

    The Minister of State is mainly responsible for managing affairs related to the kingdom's domestic and foreign affairs, such as the review and election of officials, and communications with other countries.  []

    The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce is mainly responsible for managing the development of the kingdom, including agricultural development, commercial trade, technological development, resource development and utilization, and material deployment.

    The Minister of Military Affairs is mainly responsible for all violent institutions in the kingdom, including the construction of the army, the construction of prisons, the construction of courts, the internal suppression of slaves, and the waging of external wars to protect the security of the kingdom.

    When it comes to the selection of the three ministers, especially the choice of the Minister of State, Achilles chose the experienced Crozes after much consideration. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce is naturally Theseus. The Minister of Military Affairs is not a leftist.  None other than Mokos.

    The establishment of the three-minister system clearly divided the political, economic, and military affairs of Thessaly. The three ministers each performed their own duties and complemented each other, but at the same time they restricted each other.

    Achilles¡¯ purpose is very clear, which is to build a pyramid of power. He stands at the top of the pyramid and dominates the entire Kingdom of Thessaly.

    And the three ministers Crozes, Theseus, and Zomokos lived on the second level of the pyramid, in charge of the power structure of the next level, and were also responsible to Achilles.

    By analogy, the upper level of the power pyramid manages the lower level. In this way, not only are their respective responsibilities clear, but there will be no confusion.

    The laws promulgated by the Kingdom¡¯s courts clarified the rights of all powerful persons, including the king and the three ministers, as well as the sanctity of the people¡¯s private wealth.

    The new law also clearly mentioned that all Thessalians, including nobles, had unconditional control over their slaves and land possession rights, but they were not allowed to deprive slaves of their lives at will.

    The victory in the war against the Macedonians allowed Achilles to quickly obtain the kingdom rights he wanted from the nobles, and with the devolution of rights, he consolidated the rights in his hands.

    With the cancellation of the meeting of nobles and the completion of the new pyramid of power, Thessaly's road to innovation has been laid. The next thing to do is to guide Thessaly to move forward on this road.

    After the construction of the new power structure was completed, Achilles finally relaxed a little, while Crozes, Theseus and Zomokos, the three ministers, became busy.

    Among the three, Crozes was the happiest. When he gave up his rights, he was mentally prepared to become a great aristocrat who enjoyed himself.

    But I never imagined that after giving up the rights of aristocratic meetings, the king gave me new rights.  In charge of all domestic and foreign affairs of the king, responsible for reviewing and electing officials at all levels.

    Having been at the top of Thessalian power for decades, he looks at many issues more clearly and profoundly than others.

    He could see that his young king had great ambitions, and his cancellation of the noble meeting and the establishment of a new management system was only the first step in his ambition.

    He is extremely satisfied with the power he has now. Although he is very busy every day, he is never tired of it and is full of energy.

    After decades of ups and downs in rights, it was able to stand up, and it has a strong political talent in itself. Now that it has been recognized by Akilius, it is like a fish.

    After taking over the power of the Minister of State, it only took him half a month to personally select a group of capable officials to help Achilles enrich the royal court.

    As for Theseus, although he was an outsider, with the full support of Crozes and Zomokos, he quickly established his own team and started preliminary operations.

    Whether it is Crozes or Zomokos, they all know that this old man with a slippery head will be the money bag of Thessaly from now on, and all the food, drink and food of his subordinates will have to come out of his pocket.  .

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of his money bag later, it will be more convenient, so when Theseus formed his own team, they were particularly active.

    Among the three, the most leisurely one is Zomokos. Achilles has already given him a head start on the formation of the army, and the number of soldiers has reached 3,000. He only needs to recruit about 2,000 more.  , which meets Achilles' requirements.

     And each of these soldiers gathered is extremely good at fighting. They only need simple training to become qualified soldiers.

    This work of recruiting soldiers was also extremely easy, because it no longer needed to be carried out quietly like before, so it only took three days to recruit a sufficient number of soldiers.

    Five thousand soldiers is already the limit that Thessaly can bear now, and this number of soldiers can already meet the needs of foreign wars.

    Through the war against the Macedonians, Achilles accumulated more than a thousand war horses in his hands. During these days, the nobles generously donated another 500 war horses, which increased the number of war horses in his hands.  Nearly two thousand horses arrived.

    In this era, two to three hundred cavalry are already considered a large cavalry team. If a huge cavalry consisting of two thousand cavalry appears on the battlefield, it will be a nightmare for the enemy.

    With the help of stirrups, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has been greatly improved. Whether it is long-range mounted shooting or close-range melee combat on horseback, it has become possible.

    Achilles and Zomokos have the same ambition, which is to create an invincible cavalry legion, relying on their high speed and terrifying combat effectiveness to conduct long-range combat.

    Zomokos tasted the sweetness of his thousands-mile attack on the Macedonians, and saw the terrifying combat effectiveness of the cavalry army, so after returning to the military camp, he focused most of his energy on the cavalry.

    The military camp has been expanded several times, and the tents are located one next to another. In the infantry training ground, thousands of soldiers are conducting combat training under the leadership of heroes.

    The cavalry training ground is next to the infantry training ground. Two thousand carefully selected young soldiers are also training in riding skills, horseback shooting, and close combat.

    On the edge of the training ground, fifty tanks were lined up neatly, and the soldiers in charge of the tanks were practicing the skills of collective attack.

    "Legendary Centaur King, how is our cavalry team?" Beside the training ground, Zomokos and several other demigods stood there with the Centaur King Gorong, watching the cavalry training.

    Gerong kept looking at the cavalry training in the field, and said with admiration: "Among the city-states I have been to, I have never seen any city-state that has formed such a huge cavalry team. It seems that your cavalry  A young king with many ambitions."

    A smile appeared on Zomokos's face, his eyes stayed on the galloping cavalry, and he said in a deep voice: "For hundreds of years, Thessaly has been oppressed by other tribes and kingdoms, and now it is time to go back.  ¡±

    The old man turned around and looked at Zomokos. After a moment of silence, he asked: "You mean that you will launch a large-scale war against the surrounding kingdoms?"

    Zomokos did not hide anything, nodded affirmatively, and said: "Yes, within a month, we will wage war against the city-states in the north and some grassland tribes to obtain wealth and food from them. After all, we are lustful  Sally's remaining money and food are limited, and it is difficult to raise 5,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses, so he must obtain more resources through war."

    The centaur king Jerong was stunned for a moment, and asked thoughtfully: "But if you rob the wealth and food of other city-state tribes, how will the people of these city-state tribes live? Without food, they will starve to death."

    Zomochus shrugged helplessly and replied calmly: "They will not starve to death, because they will become slaves in Thessaly, working in exchange for food."

    Hearing his answer, the Centaur King couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said: "It was like this in the Monos Dynasty, and it was like this in Mycenae and Troy later. It's still like this in Thessaly today. Use other words.  The blood and tears of the ethnic group will make you rich and strong."

    Zomokos looked up at the sky above his head and imitated Achilles' words and said: "This is how the world is. The jungle eats the strong. If a race wants not to be bullied by other races and wants to be truly rich and powerful, then it is destined to be trampled on.  Moving forward with the bones of others, using the blood and tears of other species to create our own glory."

    Centaur King Geron shook his head again and asked in a slow voice: "This should be what your wise young king said. I have to say that he is an ambitious and capable king. Maybe in  In his hands, this poor and weak Thessaly will really become a powerful country like Mycenae."

    Hearing what the old man said, Zomokos was stunned, but then his heart started beating wildly. He was still clear about the old man's reputation, and most of the guesses he made would come true.

    ? ??What kind of kingdom is Sinena?  That was the leader of the entire Greece, the most powerful kingdom in the Greek world, with the most wealth and the largest fleet.

    Zomochos had never thought that Thessaly could one day become as powerful as Mycenae, but now this omniscient old man said this, which made him a little confused.
