Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Fortunately, shortly after Crotone burned the city, Daveus led the army to recover Turriy, and Diona returned home, but she was depressed all day. She is now 23 years old.As a father, Kunogolata wanted to make her children happy, so he wanted to find another good husband for her, which also became his heart disease.

"Sostatus, what do you think of Silos?" Kunogolata asked abruptly.

"What's the matter?" Sostatus wondered why his father suddenly mentioned him.

"If you let him be your brother-in-law."

"You want to choose Silos to be Diona's husband!" Sostatus' eyes widened in surprise, seeing his father nodded very seriously, he quickly and especially jokingly thought, thought carefully, said: "Although I He is a soldier under his command, but he is the captain of the team. He doesn’t have much contact at ordinary times. He only knows that although he has strict training, he is fair in doing things and he loves us more... I heard that he is still single and has no bad habits. If your sister marries him, you should be well taken care of! But, father, why did you choose him? None of the elders in Turriy seems to be willing to marry their daughters to the elders from the former mercenaries!"

"These people are still immersed in the honor of the family in the past, and hesitant to accept Turiyi's change in their hearts!" Kunogolata sneered and solemnly said: "Why do I want you to the consul Adults show respect! Because he is indeed favored by the gods, so young, but with great ability and means, the people love him, the army supports him, and the senate is completely under his control! If you don’t want my tragedy to repeat itself Become a relative of the former mercenary veteran who really trusted him to follow his expedition to Persia. It is undoubtedly the best way! Hilos, I heard that he was the captain of the governor in Persia and took great care of him, although in the veteran Hilos has always been relatively low-key, but it can be seen that the governor adults trust him very much. And, don’t look at him as a mercenary before, listening to Cornelius said that he is humble, stable, and humbly to others Studying and asking for advice, I believe that he will go smoothly in Dionysia's politics in the future!"

"Father, don't think about good things. Dai... Of these former mercenary veterans brought by the sir, Siros is one of the few who is not married. He is only 30 years old and he is a veteran. I believe whether it is in Amendolara, still telling him in Turri that there are not too few close friends, but he is still single... It is conceivable that he may not necessarily agree to your request!" Sostatus reminded him of the rise Kunogola Tower.

"Of course I will not go directly to him, I will let the Archon Lord come forward, I believe that Davis will be very happy to do this!" Kunogolata grinned with a beard, proudly: "I have tried I asked the governor, he is also very concerned about the marriage of Silos. With him as a matchmaker, plus Diona's talent, how can Silos not agree!"

"It seems that from now on, I want to please my sister more, lest she be unhappy, and let her brother-in-law arrange me at the forefront of the square..." Sostatus also joked, which reminded Kunogo Rata, he was busy saying: "Sostatus, don't go out and go around these two days, the first legion you belong to will soon go south to fight."

"Has the agreement of the South Italian League been signed? Hasn't Crotone been against it before?" Sostatus asked with some surprise. As a veteran father, he naturally knew more about the alliance than ordinary citizens. Political affairs.

"Trina, Siliting, and Koleniaco all expressed their support. What role can Crotone's objection play? What's more, the current situation is very unfavorable to them! Even Lucias came to Turriy. It can be seen how anxious the Crotone people are!" At this point, Kunogolata was somewhat excited: "Waiting for the signing of the covenant and the establishment of the alliance, Dionia will truly become the lord of Great Greece!"

"I heard that all the alliances in this new alliance are equal and indifferent. Do you treat each other as equals? What are the leaders?"

"On the surface, this is the case, but the strength of the city-state still determines the weight of speaking in this new alliance, especially when it does not involve the interests of other alliances." Kunogolata heartily praised: "The governor It’s awesome! I’ve proposed such a covenant method, which has continued to gain the support of other city-states, isolated Crotone, and forced it to join. Once the new alliance is established, it will also dissolve the past Crotone. Alliance, and let us Dionysia successfully squeeze into Crotone's original sphere of influence and become the de facto leader!"

"Isn't this the ruling lord making full use of the victory over Crotone?!" Sostatus said, precisely a reminder of Kunogolata's prior opposition to the war.

Kunogolata was silent for a moment, instead of responding directly to his son's question, he sighed and said: "Unexpectedly, while I was alive, I could see Turui become the center of Greater Greece! Son, just like you As I said before, Turiri will surely usher in a big development!"

……………………

On the last day of mid-February 398 BC, Dionia, Crotone, Silitian, Kaurenia, and Trina finally reached an agreement, signed an alliance, and established the South Italian League.

Out of Crotone's insistence, the Covenant specifically stipulated that: When discussing the resolution, Dionia and Crotone both have two votes, while the remaining three allies each have one vote.

The league's headquarters is located in Siliting.In the beginning, Crotone requested the headquarters of the League to be established in its territory, which was opposed by other city-states.Later, Daphes proposed that it should be located in Siriting.It was endorsed by other city-states, because besides Dionysia, Silitian was right in the center of other allies, and its strength was not so strong, so they were more at ease.

On weekdays, the headquarters of the South-Italian Alliance is stationed by personnel from various alliances to handle and negotiate affairs between the alliances.

The Crotone Alliance was officially disbanded, and the newly signed military defense alliance between Dionia and Crotone also became obsolete. Crotone was originally required to pay the 500 Warriors of Dionynia for war compensation only to pay After the initial 80 Talente, the rest were also invalidated, which is one of the reasons why Crotone finally agreed to join the South Italian League, but Mercis had a chest stop and regret.

At this point, the effective covenants that Dionia has in force are: The Dionyan League, which is an alliance based mainly on Dionysia. Since Dionysia controls the diplomatic power of the alliance (that is, other alliances are not allowed to Any city-state signed any treaty and agreement), as well as military dominance, so the other allies actually became vassals of Dionia; the second was the alliance agreement with Tarantum. Since Dionysia’s expansion was too rapid, the After two amendments to the treaty, it initially changed from Tarantum to treat each other as equals and help each other. So far, it has only had a lot of business and trade, and there has not been any military union; the last is the newly established The Confederation of South Italians is in place; in addition, there is a non-aggressive peace agreement signed with Picos in the north.In addition to the Lockley League and Lijim, which is further south, and a consortium of one or two small city-states, Dionysia and other city-states in Greater Greece created a peaceful and peaceful surrounding for themselves in the form of a covenant.

Of course, what Dionysia needs to do at this moment is to fulfill the covenant and repel Lokri.

This battle is different from the past. It only takes three or four days to reach the battlefield. The only way for soldiers to carry rations and solve the battle in just a few days is not feasible.During the last battle with Crotone, the attack on the Crotone fleet has caused Dionia to suffer a lot. This time, the battle distance with Lockley is farther, the food transportation route is longer, but it is just Rock The people also control the coastline, which will be a test of Dionysia's logistics.

In this regard, the strategy adopted by Davers is: First, Merseys is responsible for quickly forming a large brigade, at least 10,000 people can be allowed to eat military food for one month, and the transport team starts with the reinforcements. It not only guarantees the safety of the grain transport team, but also reduces the labor, escort, and unnecessary consumption of food. The second is to end the war as soon as possible. For this reason, Davis sent the most elite first army.

Preparing military food and purchasing pack animals... These war preparations naturally cost a lot of gold and silver. This time, Mercis did not mean it, but bought it arbitrarily, because the cost was shared by all allies.

When the first roar of the rooster sounded in the city of Amendora, Georgris had already turned over and sat up, and his wife, Dania, also opened her eyes.

"You sleep a little longer." Geogris said softly: "I'm leaving."

"I can't sleep! I'm going to send you to Turi!" Although Dania is older than Giorgios, she likes to be coquettish because it makes her feel younger than Giorgios, and Ji Augris also enjoyed this feeling.

But today Geogris shook his head: "You go so far with pregnancy, and tossing back and forth is not good for children."

"Who said it! Helps said that pregnant women need to exercise more, the baby will be smooth, and the baby will be very healthy!" Dania retorted.

Georgris didn't speak anymore, and he believed in Helps quite well, but that was a close-handed disciple of the vassal "Daveus" who couldn't withstand repeated requests from Dania, he had to bring his wife, Another male slave carrying his weapons and equipment left the house and left the city.

At this time, it was just dawning, and the hired carriage in the port of Turui had ran to Amendolara to grab guests, because they all knew that the First Army of Dionysia was going to be in Victory Square in Turiri this morning. Assemble, army, and departure.
