Roman Slave Owner

Rome's military law is quite strict, but it does not prohibit alcohol.

Not only soldiers can drink in peacetime, but also in wartime.

Later Caesar and Pompey were defeated in the first battle. Caesar still let the soldiers drink a lot during the retreat led by Caesar.

At that time, Caesar's soldiers suffered from some diseases because of acclimatization, but they were cured by drinking wine without medicine.

This is used to disinfect and clean the wounds of the wounded.

A medic explained.

Disinfection? What does that mean?

Brutus asked.

This is what Patriarch Li Wei said. He didn't give a specific explanation. He just asked to wash all the injured parts with alcohol.

said the medic.

Alcohol?

Brutus felt that his brain was not enough, why he came here was full of new terms.

It's this kind of thing!

The medical soldier pointed to an amphora and said.

Brutus took it over and smelled it, and found that the aroma of the wine came from here.

He licked it lightly, the smell of wine was right, and it was very strong.

He remembered that some new wines produced by Li Wei were popular in Capua recently, could it be this kind of thing.

Is this the spirits?

Basically about the same.

How well do these things work?

Brutus asked.

I don't know for now, but among the fifteen cavalrymen who were injured recently, only one showed signs of pus.

said the medical soldier.

Brutus couldn't help but sucked in a breath. Due to the limited medical conditions, wound infections after injuries on ancient battlefields remained high, causing countless casualties.

Although these people may have been injured for a short time, it is already terrifying to be able to do so.

Do you still have this kind of thing? Give me some.

Brutus pointed to the alcohol and said.

Yes, it's just that if you want to reduce the casualty rate, you must not only rely on alcohol, but also have a good hygienic environment and system. For example, you can use cotton balls for disinfection. It is best for many instruments to be disposable, so as to reduce cross-infection...

The medical soldiers then talked endlessly, this is actually a set of medical system from later generations.

Geta glared at the medic fiercely and said! Say your mother is a B, say it!

Let them know all the secrets of the Second Legion!

Brutus became more and more interested, and chatted with the medic for a long time, until he told him everything he knew.

How about this, you copy all your rules and regulations and send them to me.

Before leaving, Brutus also took a few bottles of alcohol.

The medic smiled happily. He must have been valued by the lieutenant general, and he didn't notice Geta's cannibalistic eyes at all.

At last Sulla's army came, and they camped not far from the army of Nobanus.

The arrival of Sura's army made the atmosphere in Capua extremely tense, the gates of the city were closed tightly, and people except the army were forbidden to leave the city.

People knew that Nobanus's promise about the Spanish grain ship was likely to fail. Recalling Hannibal's experience of attacking Rome, Capua's grain once again rose to an unbelievable height.

If Li Wei is willing to sell the grain in his hands, he can easily make a profit of more than tens of millions of dinars. Unfortunately, how could he sell the grain at such a juncture.

In Li Wei's manor, he gently stroked a long sword.

This sword is different from the Roman dagger. It is much thinner and longer than the Roman dagger, just like the Han sword. Moreover, there are a large number of cloud patterns on the sword body. This is the only thirty-refined sword made by the blacksmiths of the Li Wei family in the past six months.

Its value is immeasurable, and probably only a few swords in Eastern China can compare with it.

Moreover, forging this kind of iron is not simply braised steel. There are still some impurities in the Spanish iron smelting. Li Wei returned a large amount of Spanish iron smelting to the furnace, and after removing the impurities, he smelted a brand new furnace of iron ingots.

Only two swords were made from this furnace of iron ingots, and all the others were sealed up. He planned to use them for some experiments.

If he wants to realize his ambition, it may not be enough to rely on cold weapons.

At this moment, Valens walked in with Hadrianus.

Li Wei signaled the slaves around to let them all go down.

Is there a problem?

Levi asked.

General Sulla will have a decisive battle with Nobanus the day after tomorrow. Lord Sulla hopes that you can take Capua on that day.

Hadrianus said.

No problem, it's just that there is still a Kapua garrison in the city of Capua, and it's not easy to win it in a short time.

Levi said.

so what should I do now?

Hadrianus asked, frowning.

You can send an army to ambush nearby in advance.

Levi said.

Hadrianus thought about it, this would make Sura's troops on the battlefield even more tense, and he didn't know if Sura would agree.

I'll make another trip and tell General Sura about the situation here.

Hadrianus said.

sorry to bother you.

Levi said.

Hadrianus looked at the sword in Li Wei's hand strangely, why is the sword so long.

Then he left here, and Valens escorted him out.

Finally come to this step, Levi thought.

He should have almost finished the arrangement, and it's time to see the real chapter.

Not long after, another soldier walked in.

Report to the Patriarch, one of the consul's personal guards is asking to see him.

Let him in.

Not long after, a Roman soldier walked in.

I met Lord Li Wei.

The Roman soldier gave a military salute and said.

Li Wei nodded, What's the matter?

The archon asked if you had something called alcohol?

the soldier asked.

That's right, what's wrong.

I didn't expect to find my good stuff so soon. It seems that Nobanus is also a waste?

The consul wants to be able to buy some alcohol, and ordered you to send someone to conduct the necessary training for the doctors of other legions.

said the soldier.

No problem, it's just that my alcohol is very expensive, and a small bottle costs 50 dinars. May I ask how much you want, Mr. Consul?

Li Wei said with a smile that he never refuses any customers who come to his door, not to mention that if he wins this battle in the future, he can snatch it back and sell it again.

The corner of the soldier's mouth twitched, it was so expensive.

Anyway, Rome paid for it, not mine.

The archon said to buy 100 bottles first.

When the money arrives, I will send it to you.

Levi said.

Then take my leave.

After speaking, the soldier left here.

In the dark of night, one hall of the barracks was brightly lit.

All the officers above the centurion level of the First Legion and the Guards gathered here to wait for Li Wei's arrival. They discussed the situation in low voices, and they were extremely confident in this war.

With 10 legions against Sulla's 6 legions, they have a great chance of winning.

At this moment, Li Wei walked in with a few personal guards.
