Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 230 Post-war conference of elders (1)

Subsequently, the Citizens’ Assembly conducted an election, and Lucias, who brought peace to Crotone, became the chief general. Although he was accused of ceding the territory by many people, the more than 10,000 civilian soldiers who returned home thanked him Rescue them from hell in time, so most of them voted for him, and at the same time they became generals and Cisprotis who participated in the peace talks with Lucias.For a time, the conservatives in Crotone’s General Executive Committee clearly prevailed.

But the top priority is to repel Lockley and rescue the allies.Crotone’s newly-generated Cabinet of Ten Generals was very clear. After careful consideration, they decided to appoint three captains with rich combat experience who had been captured by Dionia to be generals.

As a result, the soldiers who had just returned to Crotone had to go out again, 15,000 soldiers (including 10,000 heavy infantry), and 4,000 freemen were recruited. After preparing their rations, they immediately proceeded to Cologne .

Some people in the council raised an objection and demanded that more citizens be left to protect the empty city of Crotone.

Although Lucias was conservative, he was not cowardly. Not only did he not agree, he even sent a messenger to Asprostum, and said to the garrison of Dionia: Crotone is now empty in the city, and hopes to get it if necessary. Allied relief.

While receiving a clear response from Yasistes, the Crotone Fleet, led by Navy Commander Ascamas, sailed together with more than 60 warships, both large and small, to Kaurenia.

……………………………

Just as Crotone was about to fight with Lockley, the Diocese of Elders voted for the five candidates who could enter the elders in Crimea, Antaoris, Eurips, and Plea Desi was selected.

This incident was just the appetizer for today's long meeting of the Senate, followed by rewards for the soldiers who participated in the Crotone War.Due to the fact that there are too many people participating in the war, the military officer Felix and the household registration officer Rafias just determined a rough figure at the meeting: about 7,000 formal citizens will receive 1-3 acres of land according to the military merits. The proposal of the elders headed by Davers is to allocate as much as possible to the land of the city where the citizens live, of course, if they voluntarily exchange it, they should be satisfied;

Followed by about 15,000 registered freemen who participated in the war. Due to the success of several consecutive battles, according to the law, more than half of them will directly enter the official citizen’s inspection period. Because of this war, a lot of land was acquired As well as the two cities, a large number of people are urgently needed to occupy these lands and guard the new city. Therefore, although the official citizen inspection period has not expired, the senate still decided to grant them in Crimea, Asprostoum and Kro The five acres of "land" in the northern plains of Dunton, because they have not yet become full citizens, so during this survey period, the tax paid is still 10% of the land income, and it will not be reduced to 1% until they become full citizens. Land tax

For the nearly 6,000 free citizens participating in the war, the period of their investigation as reserve citizens will be halved, and they will be given priority to rent the land of the city-state. Of course, the tax burden of 20% remains unchanged;

For soldiers who died in the war, whether citizens or freemen, as long as their relatives are still present, the senate will be awarded as a normal soldier, while also giving generous pensions, mainly from the spoils of war.

The whole issue of rewards and distribution will be dominated by the agricultural officer Burks and the household registration officer Rafias, assisted by the three captains of Capps, Drakos and Hironimus.

"The citizens of Dionysia called accordingly, fulfilled their duties, and fought bravely for the alliance. As the helm of the large ship of the alliance, the Senate should also give them the corresponding praise and care, and we must not let our warriors bleed. At the same time, we must cry! Only in this way can more people be encouraged to contribute more power to the prosperity and power of the alliance!..." Finally, Davos reminded Burcos of his upcoming work with a heated speech.

The next discussion is the selection of the chief executive of Crimea and Asprostrom.

There are many veterans who signed up for the Crimea, because it is a harbour city, the conditions are excellent, and the residents are Greeks. Although it is adjacent to Crotone, it has become an alliance after all, and there is also Aspros. Thum is ahead, and the ruling environment is relatively safe.

The result of the final vote was that Scombras got the highest number of votes, which surprised some people, but think about it carefully, although Scombras is a temper, but he is quick and quick, he will correct it if there is a mistake, there is not much. They are scheming and willing to help their juniors, so many people are willing to associate with him.

According to the law of Dionysia, Davers has the final right to veto any proposal of the Senate, but as long as the proposal is reasonable, he generally seldom uses this right.Just like now, he thinks that the selected candidate of the Crimean chief executive is not bad. The straightforward character of Scombrus may win the favor of the Crimean who is also hostile to the Dionysians. .So, he was the first to congratulate Scombrus.

"Master Sir, you can rest assured. I will definitely let the Crimea people agree with the Dionysian Union as soon as possible, and at the same time coordinate the relationship between the locals and the new immigrants..." Sri Lanka made a guarantee.

There is an old family, if there is a treasure, Scombras, who has passed the age of fifty, has not taken office, he has seized the two major problems that need to be invested in solving the problem after serving as the chief executive of Crimea. Firce smiled: "With you in Crimea, there is nothing to worry about in the Senate!"

As for the candidate of the chief executive of the city of Asprostum, as Daveus said in advance: Asprostum is different from Crimea. It is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Neto River. From time to time, it swam southwest. The harassment of the Brutus people in the south should be alert and deterring other Greek city-states coveting the Croton North Plain, while also coordinating the relationship with the Crotonians.

In addition, Daphes also told the veterans that many Lucanian fighters are willing to move to Asprom.As a result, in addition to the Lukaria region (of course including Niutum), Asprostum has become the highest proportion of Lukania residents among the cities of the Union of Dionysians.Therefore, the requirements for the Chief Executive of Asprostum are relatively high. First of all, they must have strong military talents, certain administrative experience, and strong coordination skills. At the same time, those who join Diao It was not long before some of the free and loose Lucanians obeyed.

For the veterans who have suffered from the war, such as Amendolara and Turi, let them respond to the war independently. There is always an indelible fear in their hearts; Weisba and Hermon are involved in Lucania On issues, I like to make suggestions proactively, but when it comes to Greek city-state affairs, I always watch calmly and act as a voter; most of the mercenary veterans are unwilling to deal with administrative affairs, or have insufficient capabilities, such as Antonio. Sri Lanka, Alexis and others held important public positions and were unable to leave.Therefore, when the rotating chairman Cornelius announced that he would like to serve as the chief executive of Asprostum, please raise his hand, and no one responded for a while.

Daveus was also a little surprised to see this, but there was a name in his mind-Asistes.It was just that Yasisters was not a member of the Senate and could not be appointed as the Chief Executive of the city. He realized at this time that before the promulgation of the Dionysian Union Public Service Law, he did not become a member of the former mercenary member of the Senate. It becomes difficult to enter the elder's house again and become a veteran. For these guys who mostly only want to fight, let them re-enter the administrative affairs. It is undoubtedly impossible to go up one level at a time. It seems that it is necessary to add several provisions in the "Public Service Law" specifically for the entry of senior generals into the Senate...

Daveus pondered, but saw a person in the crowd raised his hand-Silos, turned out to be the captain of Daveus, the most powerful confidant Silos!

Some time ago, Davos was busy with affairs, and Hilos served as the captain of the Amendolara patrol. Except for meeting in the Senate meeting, the two had few opportunities to meet, but Daphos still understood Hilos' performance. Of: With the prosperity of storage, accommodation, and food under the city of Amendora, there has been a large influx of foreign population, but there has been no major conflicts. Hilos has done a great job, his ability to handle emergencies and coordinate the settlement of residents The impartiality of the conflict with outsiders has been well received by the people of Amenorara and the Chief Executive Cornelius.As for military aptitude, Davers gave him the opinion that he is good at holding heavy soldiers, which is just suitable for Asprostum in a special geographical location. I believe that with his rich mercenary experience, it is not a big deal to convince those Lucanias. problem.As for administrative experience...

Daphes thought about it for a while: he could first let Yasistus stay in Asprostum for a while to help Hilos deal with government affairs.I believe that with a careful learning attitude, Hilos will soon be able to govern independently.

After waiting for a while, he was still alone.Cornelius reluctantly announced that the candidate for the chief executive of Asprostum was Hilos.

"I agree with Silos as the chief executive of Asprostum, he is the most suitable candidate!" Davers first clearly expressed support.

Later, Kapus, Antonios and others also agreed, and the candidate for the chief executive of Asprostum was determined.Only Cornelius sighed: "Although I would like to congratulate Silos, I have to regret that Amendolara lost an excellent patrol leader!"
