Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

135 Turri Diplomatic Incident

Daveus pulled out a roll of sandpaper from his arms and sneered: "The Turi people are really forgetful! Fortunately, I have a copy here!" Then, he passed the paper roll, and the elders passed each other to see it. Sure enough, he wrote Davis's commitment to slave freedom, and the signature of Burkos as a witness, as well as the signatures of General Turui, Kunogolata and Neonsis.

At that time, in order to prevent the mercenaries from leaving the Subari Plain and sticking to the camp, the generals of Turiyi agreed as much as possible.According to their experience, mercenaries are likely to be difficult to stick to for a long time. If they can consume more Lukanians, they will consume more. These two thousand slaves are regarded as meat buns and dogs. Dare to take the initiative to attack the enemy and win.

Now Neonsis, who is known for his careful calculation, is in power, and of course he is not willing to convert these more than a thousand slaves into free people.The key point is also important: what about the other miner slaves when these slaves were converted to free people?They will definitely have ideas. Don’t forget that there are 8-9 thousand of these mining slaves. Once there is a commotion, it is difficult to cope with the current number of citizens of Turiri.Not to mention the fact that there are still a number of free people on the side of the port that are still in Turri’s dispute over citizenship.

So when the paper roll reached Plessinas, he didn't see it. He dared to tear the paper roll into pieces with both hands: "This is fake! This is fake!"

This rogue act immediately angered everyone present. The hot-tempered Scombrus rushed over first, grabbed Plycines, and directly punched him, cursing in his mouth: "I call you Tear! I’ll tell you to tear! Turi people who don’t keep their promises! Turi people who are in prison!"

One punch, two punches... If it wasn't for someone else to pull Scombras away in time, Plycines probably lost his mind, and at this moment he shouted in horror: "Slay it! Slay it! Amendolara Do you want to go to war with Turiri?!!!"

"Get him out of Amendolara! Don't forget to put him all the silver coins that the mine slaves who fled to Amendora should pay for their redemption, lest Turri say that we would steal their property." Daveus Said in disgust.

"Yes!" Mercis replied bitterly. "However, maybe the money is not enough."

Daveus thought for a while and said, "Then write an IOU in the name of Amendola Lavra, and wait until we have money, and then return it."

"However, in this way, the other slaves who were involved in the war may have to run to Amendolara!" Cornerus reminded.

"Then let them come. They helped us win the war with the Lucanias, and gave blood and life. Just Hades was on top, and we hope that we can fulfill the oath to him." Daveus Said solemnly.

"That's really cheap Turui!" Mercis said indignantly.

"By violating the oath promised to the gods, the punishment of the gods will always be brought." Daveus said lightly, turned back to Aristotle, who was shocked by the scene, and said, "Now you are free, You can go wherever you want."

Aristotle did not expect that the result they wanted would come so fast, and the whole body shivered with excitement: "Thank you, lord! We...willing to stay in Amendolara...and... I am personally willing to repay Amendolara for The money we pay for freedom!"

Daveus stared at him, and he nodded sincerely and admiringly: "Okay!"

………………………………

Placinas returned to Turi, naturally preaching Amendolara's "evil deeds", trying to arouse the anger of the people.

Of course, Amendolara also has countermeasures. Through the mouth of the Turiri patients who came to see the doctor in Amendolara, they spread the events that occurred in the Senate in the Turiui people.

For a time, the Turiyi people could hardly tell whether the two versions of the story were true or not.

But Turiri City Hall quickly took action, and they strongly demanded: Amendolara immediately return the fugitive slaves, otherwise Amendolara will destroy the covenant, and Turiri will never sit idly by.

Amendolara’s Senate refused and reminded Turiri that he should fulfill the promise he had made and give Turiri’s benefactors (ie, slaves in war) freedom.

Turiri then announced that the people of this city were prohibited from going to Amendolara.Foreign merchants going to Amendola pay heavy taxes when they trade in Turiri.

Since the storage base of Amendolara has not been built, there are few businessmen going to Amendora, but there are many foreign patients, which will have little effect on the negligible trade of Amendora.But Amendolara still took action, and they arranged the military training of the civic soldiers by the Saraceno River, which made the situation so powerful that the Turiri people and slaves working in the Subari Plains were nervous.

Apart from protesting against Amendolarati, the city hall of Turiri took no further action, and the two sides suddenly remained silent.

For Davers, he did not want to have a stalemate relationship with Turriy, but when things got to this point, he had to make a choice: choosing Turiy will help him attack Lucania in the future. Plan, but had to ruin the promises he had made; choosing to liberate slaves and fulfilling his promises may endanger the alliance with Turui.Daphes believes that the destruction of the alliance with Turui can be compensated in the future, but once the promise is destroyed, it is difficult to eliminate the bad impression left by the big Greeks, even if this commitment is only for slaves.Adhering to the promise is related to his integrity, and even more so to Amendolara's integrity.Because many new laws enacted by Amendola now depend on the trust of the people and outsiders to be realized, they must be convinced that Amendola will keep its promises no matter what the situation, so this is Amendola The foundation of Nippon!

And just as the relationship between Amendolara and Turri came to a stalemate, a guest came from Turrii, the messenger of Crotone.

…………………………

At the end of June, the Amenorara Senior Clinic met to discuss a trial to select athletes to participate in the Isthmus at the Olympia Games the following summer. This is one of the four world-famous pan-Greek games, although not as great as the Olympia Games. Ancient, but also highly anticipated, Davos and the Senate hope athletes will show the new Amendola style to Greek city-states.

Davers even considered going to Collins with the selected athletes (because Collins was the host of the Isthmus).In the previous life, he had no money and no time to watch the Olympic Games on the spot, but in this era, he can be a VIP and enjoy the most authentic classical sports games.

Just as the elders were all happily discussing how to organize this trial, an amazing news came: the city of Turui was a big deal!

It turned out that the envoy of Crotone came to Turri to ask for sin.He claimed that Turri had previously built a city on the former site of Sybaris, in violation of the agreement signed with Crotone.

Neonsis quickly explained: Because the Lucania attacked, Turiri had no choice but to let the mercenaries temporarily build a camp there, which was quickly withdrawn...

But the Crotone messenger refused to accept this reason, insisting that Turri violated the agreement, and if he did not want to have serious consequences for the relations between the two countries, he must make compensation for such behavior.In fact, the real reason the messenger asked Turri was: after Crotone ended the war with the Bruti, his treasury consumed a lot of money and materials. Some people in the city-state council put forward such a proposal, plus this At that time, Turiri's strength was greatly weakened, so the Crotone people thought that Turiri should not risk the offense of Crotone, and rejected the request of Crotone, at most on the amount of compensation There is a dispute, but then you can bargain.So the Crotone messenger created a huge list of compensation.

The generals of Turui saw this list and immediately understood: Crotone was not here to ask for sin, but to blackmail!

Suddenly, the generals clamored, especially after Neonsis became the chief general. Although he looked at the problem more comprehensively, the nature of careful budgeting did not change. Thousands of city-state slaves became freemen, and naturally they did not want to accept Crotone's extortion.So he said to the messenger: "The Turui Council needs to discuss this matter collectively before answering Crotone."

After the messenger left, he immediately asked Plycinus to secretly inform the public about the incident and incite them to protest at the hotel where the messenger stayed.The purpose of Neonsis is: first, to allow the messenger to see the anger and determination of the people of Tuturi, and to create conditions for the following negotiations; second, even if a compensation agreement is signed in the future, it can reduce the public’s The accusation of the city hall.

Neonsis's abacus is very precise, but he never expected that after the last expulsion from Kunogolata, the Turiyi people became more mad and irrational, not to mention driven by caring people , Is simply not within the control of Plesinas.

These caring people are descendants of the Sybaris.A hundred years ago, Crotone defeated Subaris and tore up the city of Sybaris. The Sybaris who lost their homeland rebuilt Subaris after a few years and quickly regained prosperity.After knowing, Crotone sent troops to capture Sybaris again, destroying the city completely.The exiled Sybaris reluctantly sought help from the native Greek city-state, and finally Pericles in Athens responded to their request and called on all Greeks to rebuild Sybaris.So the elites of Athens and immigrants from all over flocked to build Turiri on the plain of Subari.But not long after, the Subaris clashed with Athens and other immigrants, because the Subaris wanted Turiri to become the Turiri of the Subaris, which of course was not accepted by other immigrants, and eventually happened After the bloody conflict, the Subaris were expelled.However, after all, the Xubaris were local snakes, so a few people stayed in secret.In the hearts of these people, Crotone is the life and death enemy who destroyed their homes and reduced them to such a situation. They inherited this hatred, and when the opportunity arises, how can the descendants of the Subaris be spared? .

Thousands of crazy people could not be stopped by a few soldiers. They rushed into the hotel and beat the messenger of Crotone. When Neonsis heard the news and arrived with the brigade, this messenger Has become dead.
