Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 146 Establishing the Tua Alliance

In the afternoon, Davers urgently convened the meeting of the Elders of Amendolara, and invited Kunogola Tower, as well as more than a dozen of Turiyi’s prestigious and status citizens, including Ansitanos and Burcos, to be listed. There are even Plesinas and Polyxes.

Yasisters was puzzled and asked, "Adult, why do you want Plessinas, a credulous and cheeky person to participate?"

Daveus said seriously: "For us, Pleacinas is a villain who is not loyal. For Turri, he is a patriot who does not hesitate to destroy his honor for the benefit of city-states. For this People, we should respect!"

"What about this Polyx? He is a deserter!"

Davers didn't answer.He asked Kunogolata. Although Kunogolata was betrayed by Neonsis and Polyx, he still advised him on the matter. Daphs invited Polyx to participate in the meeting because the Polyxes family was in the picture. Leo's Piaucia immigrants have always been very appealing.

Since the Amendoralars came to rescue the people of Turiri, Plycines has been uneasy, and has even wanted to leave Turiri and emigrate to other city-states.When the herald soldiers of Amendolara found him and sent him an invitation, he would still be suspicious.The herald soldiers relayed what Devers said to him, and Pleacines shed tears: to know that the Turiris, who were carefully cared for by the Amendolalars in these two days, felt guilty, but instead complained that Plesin Nas first broke the friendship between Turui and Amendolara, and even his relatives alienated him.Davos's affirmation of him made him very grateful.

At the same time, the invitation to Placinas also allowed the Turiris to see Amendolara's past non-blame attitude, which made many Turiris who had worked hard on the issue of opposing Amendolara feel relieved.

At that time, because of the poor conditions, the meeting was held on the grass. Everyone sat cross-legged in a circle, surrounded by guards.

At the meeting, Daphes proposed: the establishment of the Turri-Amendola League, the citizens of the two cities have a consul, a senate, and invited the Turi people here including Kunogolata to join the veteran Institute, became a member of the veteran of the new alliance.

This proposal was negotiated by Daveus in advance with the veterans of Amendola, and these people in Turui themselves are in a weak position and rely heavily on the assistance and protection of Amendola, plus they can become veterans. Elder Yuan, why not do it?

The news quickly spread to the Turiyi people, and the vast majority of people were cheering.The main reason is that if this alliance is established, they can accept Amendolara’s assistance and the protection of powerful Amendolara soldiers with peace of mind!Don't worry about betrayal, don't worry about being abandoned, because you are all a family!

The cheers spread back to the ears of the new Turrii veterans who were meeting, and their last worries also disappeared.

Then, Daphes said: Since Turiri and Amendolara became a family, then the laws of Amendolara also apply to Turiri, and the rights and obligations of the Amendolara are also the same Suitable for Turi citizens.

Except for a small number of Turiyi veterans who slightly objected to the bill "Citizens who own land must pay 1% of the land tax each year", Davis's proposal was passed by a high vote.

Then, Daphes put forward: to fulfill the previous commitment to give freedom to the slaves who participated in the battle with the Lucanian coalition.For the freemen who participated in the battle with the Allied forces of Lucania, but did not betray Turiy, and turned to the Crotone army, they became the reserve citizens of the new alliance.The leaders of the free people who caused the rebellion and led to the fall of Turiyi were sentenced to death by the Turii people!

The proposal was passed without dispute.Because through the destruction of the city of Turiyi, the Turii people also made a deep reflection, they realized that it was precisely because Turi violated its promises and improperly disposed of free people and slaves that was the main reason for this disaster. One.

Plycines was a little embarrassed after listening to Dave's proposal.Unexpectedly, Davers proposed: let Pleacinus be responsible for execution.This was a good chance for Pleacinus to wash his stains, and he was very grateful to Daphes again.

In fact, most of the freemen who participated in the battle of Lukalia participated in the rebellion, and followed the Crotone forces to deliver loot, preparing to go to Crotone, and were eventually captured by the Amendolara Corps.The slaves lost their control because of the fall of Turi. Most of the miners’ slaves fled into the mountains. The slaves in the rest of the city chose to stay, because instead of fleeing elsewhere, they were still slaves in most cases. The situation is even worse after being captured. It is better to follow a familiar master. In addition to having no freedom, life is still decent.There are very few freemen and slaves who really meet the conditions of the bill, but for freemen and slaves still hovering by the ruins of Turriy and not yet gone, this is undoubtedly great news.Because they think that the ruling ruling officer really has a good opinion of freemen and slaves, and he is also a lifelong ruling officer, which means that in the future they have more opportunities to be free and become full citizens.

Stabilizing the sentiments of freemen and slaves and inspiring their enthusiasm for the new alliance, Turui’s safety is guaranteed because they have far more people than Turui’s people.

Turiri – The first meeting of the Senate of the Alliance of Amendola has been highly effective. A proposal to help Turri’s reconstruction was passed, and Kunogolata was proposed by Daveus to The high vote was elected as the chief executive of the city of Turiyi, among which he won the full vote of the veteran of Turiyi.The main reason is that Kunogolata has done his best to help the Turui people, and made the Turui people feel guilty. Together with the savvy Turui veterans, it is clear that the future political situation will be dominated by the Amendolaras for a long time , Then Kunogolata can be valued by Davos, and they must make an effort to let Kunogolata speak for the Turiris.

Since the two cities are not far apart, apart from the fact that the city chief has a public office in each of the two cities, the rest of the public office is shared. If necessary, deputies or assistants will be assigned to each city to perform their duties.

At the same time, the Turui Reconstruction Committee was also established, led by Davos, supplemented by the two city chiefs Cornelius and Kunogolata, to lead the reconstruction of Turiri.

In the end, Burkos asked what the Turiris were worried about: "What if Crotonians commit crimes again?"

Davies looked the same and smiled: "I think this question can be answered by the military officer."

Felixius stood up and said, "My elders, let me briefly introduce the results of our army this time. We have dispatched 4,895 soldiers, wiped out about 6,000 people, and captured them. Nine thousand people (this is a very high casualty rate. On average, an Amendolara soldier wiped out more than one enemy. According to the normal battle, even if the Amendolara soldiers are more powerful, this situation will never happen. It was only because of the sneak attack that Crotonians suffered such high casualties under special circumstances such as drunkenness, deep sleep, no armor, and no weapons), while only 72 citizens were killed and 200 injured."

As soon as this remark came out, the Turiyi elders were dumbfounded.

Philius continued: "Of the nine thousand captives, there are about 5,000 in Crotone (mainly because Crotone arranged the camps and arranged the soldiers of other city-states on the periphery)." Swan glanced at Daveus: "We can use these captives to force Crotone to negotiate with us. If the peace talks fail, I see that although Turri was destroyed by fire, the city walls were built of stone, and most of them are still intact. We A large number of people can be organized to quickly repair the walls to defend against Crotone's offense, and at the same time, they can seek assistance from Tarantum."

"Will Tarantum help us?" Burcos was puzzled, knowing that Turri had also tried before, and Tarantum sent a messenger symbolically, and there was no movement after the persuasion failed. .

"In the case of Crotone's greatly damaged strength, not only will Tarantum help us, but Lockley will also be able to take action!" Kunogolata, familiar with the situation in the big Greek city-state, said: "Governing Officer, we should organize manpower now, build the wall first, and we must immediately try to form an alliance with Tarantum!"

"We and Tarantum were originally allies!" Amintas said abruptly.

"That's different. At the beginning, it was Amendolara who signed with Tarantum, and now Amendolara has become Turiri-Amendolara Alliance." Anthony explained to him in a low voice.

Amintas scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Admiral Kunogolata, you reminded me that we really need Tarantum's assistance now!" As Davies said, he did not think that Tarantum's assistance was necessary, but Understanding Tarantum's attitude is important.Because Amendolara was originally an unremarkable ally of Tarantum, and suddenly it became a two-city alliance with a sudden increase in strength, what would Tarantum think?Kunogolata is reminding himself!Therefore, Davers cast his gaze to thank him.

…………………………

Mariji and Ansitanos were ordered to the senate of Tarantum.

When Tarantum's consuls and veterans learned that Amendolara had defeated Crotone's army, he couldn't believe his ears.Tens of thousands of Crotone soldiers were wiped out and captured in one morning. This is not a fanatical but undisciplined, ferocious but unsustainable Lucania, but a real Greek civic soldier, and still The Crotone civics, who are known for their movement and strength, how can this not shock the Tarantum!
