Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After listening to this, Daphes fell into a deep thought: The practice of the Greek city-state citizens to go out and fight was to bring their own rations for three days, no more than five days at most, and never heard of paying so many days of rations, which is no different from direct donations.Citizens are obliged to fight for the city-state and dedicate their blood and life, but they have no obligation to donate their property for the city-state.Doing so may cause dissatisfaction among citizens, and also combat their passion for fighting, and will set a bad precedent...

Seeing Daveus hesitate, Mercys continued to persuade: "Although the soldiers were asked to bring more rations, they were not at all lossless. After defeating Bruty, they could get more Land!"

Daveus pondered for a while, shaking his head and said, "Dividing land by military merit is a plan that Dionysia had formulated before. We cannot use this bill to ask citizens for additional benefits."

"Daveus..." Melses wanted to persuade him again.

Daveus interrupted him, thinking about it: "But... Mercis, you reminded me. We can borrow a certain amount of grain from the citizens in the name of the Senate... and wait until the treasury is sufficient, then connect The profits will be repaid to the citizens who borrow food. What do you think of this method?"

"It's a good idea!" Mercis said loudly. "But the interest should not be too high."

"The interest is up to you." Davers saw that the military food problem had been solved, and he was in a good mood: "You are the best financial officer in Southern Italy! "

"With your support from Daphes, is the bill still not passed!" Mercis was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to flatter, and then said: "I went to the Tino River the day before yesterday and saw your... …Under construction... Well, the hot spring bathroom is about to be built. When are you going to start operating officially? Don’t forget to inform me earlier that I want to be the first citizen to enter the hot spring bathroom!"

While in Persia, while enjoying a female slave massage trained by Davis, Melses also listened to Davies' description that the combination of massage and hot spring water bath is not only more comfortable, but also more beneficial to the body. .Since the construction of the large hot spring bath, he has gone to inspect more times than the real owner of Davers.

Of course Daphus knew this, and readily agreed to him.

After Daveus sent off Mercis, he returned to the living room and pondered hard on the map of the Bruti region painted by the emissaries of Silu: How to fight the Bruti people?Where would the best breakthrough be in order to shorten the war?...

After pondering for a long time, he got up and went for a walk in the corridor to relax his brain and clear his mind.

"Father!" In the middle of the courtyard, Adoris, who played rugby throwing and catching games with the slave, beckoned to him.

Davers responded with a smile and reminded him to pay attention to safety.The pair of sisters adopted by Davers had been strange and cautious from the beginning, and after more than a year of living together, they finally integrated into the family.According to Christoya, especially Cynthia, she became very sensible and often helped her take care of Little Kro.After Davis came back, he hadn't seen this bright and lovely adopted daughter. He should still be studying in school.

Davers thought while walking around the corridor.As soon as I walked around, I ran into Hernipolis who came back from outside.

As the son of Lavinus' governor Avinogis, when Henipolis first came to Turri to study, Daveus placed him in his home from the beginning. The envelopment is also the cultivation of Genipolis and his sense of identity with Dionysia.This practice of Daphes is also gradually being promoted among the elders of the veteran’s home. Children like the leaders of the allied city states like Castellon and Nyutum or the children of the head of the small tribe of Lucania come to Turi to play and learn. Most of them are not staying in hotels, but are invited to live in the elders’ homes. For example, the children of the chief general of Castellon Amilis live in the home of Kunogolata.

"Sir, you're back!" Hernipolis shouted as soon as he saw Daveus: "How about defeating the barbarians?!"

Daphes smiled, and said only lightly: "Tarantum has signed a peace agreement with them." Then he turned the subject around: "I heard that you are studying with Master Ansitanos now."

Hernipolis was unsettled when she first came.First I went to the hospital and said that I wanted to study medicine, but I stayed for a while because I couldn't stand the wailing and bloody scenes of the patient, and I retreated. Afterwards, I ran to the Institute of Mathematics and was confused by tedious calculations. Stayed in the arena for a while and practiced football.It wasn't until the school was established that I applied to study with Ancitanos, a famous scholar who was already in Nanyi. At least after a few months, the performance was quite good.

"Adult, the old man of Ansitanos is too much. He used me as a slave. Not only did he arrange a lot of scribes for me, but he also often errands for him..." Henipolis poured out the water.

"Since this is the case, I'm going to talk to Ansitanos, and I'll change you another teacher." Daveus said seriously, looking very much for him.

Henripolis quickly waved his hand: "Don't! Don't go! You say that, he doesn't know how to torture me!"

He lowered his head and stuttered, "...actually...actually learning from him...and really learned a lot, which made me interested in history...today, he asked me to come back and write a An article on'Why Is Sybaris Dying'."

"Oh." Daveus came interested. "Why do you think Subaris will perish?"

"Of course it's because of the gap in command ability between Subaris and Crotone! Crotone can defeat Subaris because they have Pythagoras, just like today we Dionysia can defeat Ke Rotone is because you are the same as an adult!" Henipolis replied without thinking, and patted a fart.

we!Upon hearing the word, Davies blinked and chuckled: "There is another more important reason. Long-term affluence and luxury of life have not only corroded the body of the Subaris, but also corroded their thoughts and caused them to lose Courage and fighting spirit. Otherwise, even if Pythagoras won the battle victory by ingenuity, Exbalis is a powerful national power, they can completely reorganize the army, use abundant resources and sufficient population to continue with Crotone Carrying out long-lasting battles will not allow the Crotonenes to take advantage of the victory and easily occupy their city-state!

The same is true for Crotone today.For a long time as the overlord of Great Greece, they became proud and lost their vigilance, and they were used to peace.When our army set foot on Croton Plain, they hurriedly demanded peace.If they choose to continue to fight our Dionysia, our alliance will not gain today's status so quickly.So there is a good saying,'The difficult environment makes the city-state strive to survive, and the easy life makes the country easy to perish!'"

Hernipolis's eyes lit up and repeated the last sentence, then said excitedly: "My lord, you are too good! I want to write it in my article, let the old man know how powerful I am!" "

Davers said narrowly: "Don't say it's what I said."

"Of course!"

There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard.

………………………

A few days later, Antaoris returned to Turi, and after the senate was informed of the actions of the Bruti people, they were very angry and threatened to severely punish Bruti.

One day later, Trina's messenger Cypros came to Turui with a few lucky people who had escaped the encirclement and suppression of the Bruti Horde Alliance.

Daphes personally met them and formally promised: Dionysia will seek justice from the Bruti Horde Alliance for them in due course.

Then, the family members of the Silu who were killed and lost their homes not only talked about their tragic experiences in the senate, but also told the Dionysian people on the square and at the rally, which aroused the sympathy of many citizens and expressed: These poor Greeks should be helped to avenge the wicked Brutus!

For a time, there was a tense war in Dionysia, but the Senate did not send out war mobilization because Qiu received it...

………………………

Corinth, a Greek city-state on the Peloponnese peninsula, and a city-state with a long history like Sparta, because its Corinthian isthmus is centrally located in the native geographical geography of Greece, not only makes it an ideal for the assembly of Greek alliances Places, such as the Hippo War decades ago, and the Peloponnesian Army often set off after this gathering, and the unique geographical location also brought it the convenience of trade.

As early as more than a hundred years ago, Corinth's prestige was in Greece. Not only is it rich in the Mediterranean, but also its culture is very developed. For this reason, the powerful and confident Corinthians created the Isthmus Games and quickly became one of the four major Greek games. .

This four-year celebration to celebrate Poseidon, the year after the Olympia Games, was supposed to be held this summer, but it was postponed to September for some reason.That is to say, the Greeks who came to participate in and watch the games still rushed from all sides of the Mediterranean to this isthmus city-state. Almost all the well-known Greek city-states have sent athletes to participate, even if they have some contradictions with Corinth in recent years. Bada also sent a team. Only the Athenians remembered that after the Peloponnesian War ended, when the Peloponnesian Confederate city-states discussed how to dispose of Athens, the Corinthians insisted on killing the Athenians. The Kaka area became a wilderness, so no people were sent to participate.
