Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

As the Spartan hero who defeated Athens, Laishande once raised the maritime confederations of Athens to a puppet regime loyal to Sparta.Now he came to Asia Minor. The authorities of these city-states came to visit him, followed him, and asked him to make as if he was the real king, while Agsilaws was just a follower.

But soon, Laishande tasted the power of Agassius. Any request he made to Agsilaus, even if it was reasonable, was rejected by the king of Sparta, even Ag Silos also secretly sent people out to publicize: Laishande is only an ordinary member of the "30-member military committee" in Sparta, and has no power.

As a result, Laishande promised that these people's requests could not be fulfilled in the end, causing those in power in these city-states to realize that the situation had changed and turned to please Agassius.

And Agsilaus's alienation to Laishande made Laishande uneasy. He finally realized that he was blind at first. This new king is by no means a scumbag.

At this moment, Laishande is no longer the glorious Spartan hero a few years ago, plotting to overthrow the failure of the Spartan system, and the guards of the Elder Council on him, so that the real power he has in his hands has been deprived, and finally he had to Actively proposed to Agsi Laos: he is willing to go to the Hellesian Straits, to win over the city-states that had previously attached to Persia.

Agassius agreed to his request.

After renovating the ambitious Laishande, Agsilaus began to show his military talent.His use of troops was more flexible than that of De Kiridas, and he moved back and forth between the jurisdictions of the two Persian governors of Tisavnice and Fanabazos, which made the Persian army at a loss, and in the spring of 395 BC, Sardis In the World War I, the army of Tisavonis was hit hard.

As a result of this fiasco, Palusatis, the mother of Persian King Altaxerxes, finally seized the opportunity to let her son dismiss Tisavonis, and finally executed him, thus reporting his youngest son, Jurus. hatred.

The news reached the Agassius army, and the mercenaries who had experienced "the retreat of ten thousand people" cheered, and Xenophon also wrote a letter to Daveus, who was far away in Turui, to express The joy in his heart and his admiration for Agassius the King of Sparta.

The military operations of Agsi Raus in Asia Minor put a lot of pressure on Persia, and the Persian king had to mobilize troops from other regions to respond to the Spartan attack. As a result, the defense emptiness in other regions was caused.In the province of Egypt farthest away from the Persian homeland, the Egyptians who had been resisting the Persian rule finally seized this opportunity. Under the leadership of Akoris, they rebelled and successfully drove away the Persians, achieved independence, and rebuilt The Kingdom of Egypt, and Akoris became the new pharaoh (this is the 29th dynasty in the history of ancient Egypt).

In order to recapture Egypt, Persia repeatedly sent envoys to Agsilaus in 395 BC, but Agsilaus rejected the Persian summation, and the Persian king Artaxerxes saw the Spartak Daren had no intention of withdrawing troops from Asia Minor. On the contrary, Agsilaus’ ultimate goal was himself. So angry, at the suggestion of the minister, he sent people to Greece and began to fight against Thebes, Corinth, Argos, etc. The generals and parliamentarians of the city-states in which the ties are not in good relations have made large amounts of money bribes. The only condition is that they must fight against the Spartans.

And the answers of these city-states are very similar: even without this money, they are eager to go to war, because the Spartans are too domineering, not only do they disrespect them, but also damage the interests of their city-states repeatedly!

Under the sway of the Persian messengers, these city-states began to quietly negotiate to form an alliance. Among them, the Thebes were most active in declaring war on Sparta. During the conflict, when the Fawkes finally invaded Rokris, the Thebes declared: Fawkes violated his allies, and in order to defend the allies, it declared war on Fawkes.

So Thebes summoned an army to invade Fawkes, and the weak Fawkes had to turn to Sparta for help.Although Fawkes is small, it is close to an important city-state in the Delphi region, which facilitates the Spartans to intervene in Delphi’s religious affairs, and the Spartans also despise and destroy the Thebes before their expedition to Persia. The temple sacrifice memory is still fresh, so I am very happy to find a reason to attack Thebes, and immediately decided to punish Thebes for his indifference to Sparta.

As a result, Spartan troops invaded Thebes in two ways.One route was led by another Spartan king, Paul Sanias, to the north, and the other route was sent by the Council of Elders to Laishande, who had returned to Sparta, to Fokies, to organize a local coalition to attack Debbie south Sri Lanka.Laishande quickly completed the task excellently, and also rebelled against the Okomenus people in the Pioxia area.

Faced with the powerful threat of Sparta, Thebes turned to Athens, the strongest state close to it.

The Athenians experienced a series of hardships such as the defeat of the Peloponnesian War, the dark rule of the "thirty tyrants," and the restoration of the democrats. They lost their previous arrogance and reconciled the democrats with a moderate system in the country. The differences with the nobility treat the former allies as equals to the outside world. Under this pragmatic and pragmatic policy, after nearly a decade, Athens' strength is rapidly recovering.With its strength, Athens wanted to get rid of Spartan control and gain true freedom in military affairs and commerce.

So after receiving the request for help from Bis, Athens held a civic conference.At the General Assembly, the vast majority of citizens voted in favor of forming an alliance with the former dead enemy Thebes and fighting with Sparta.

In the end, the democratic leader Seracibros, who once led the rebels to fight hard, eventually overthrew the rule of the "Thirty Unruly Lords," and resurrected Athens, informed the Thebis envoy of the resolution of the Athenians, and said firmly: "... Although there is no city wall in Piraeus Port, we Athenians will face the danger bravely and face the brutal Spartans together with your Thebes!"

The Thebes moved. Two city-states that had been feuding for decades quickly entered into a covenant, declaring that Thebes and Athens formed a permanent alliance.

At this moment, the troops led by Laishande and Pausanias approached the Pioxia area, one south and one north, and they agreed to join the division near the city of Haliatus in the confederation south of Thebes.

However, after Laishande arrived, Paul Sanias's army was still missing.Laishande tried to persuade the Haliyatus to defect from Thebes.

The Haliyatus pretended to agree, delaying the time in secret.When the reinforcements of Thebes arrived, they suddenly left the city and attacked Laishande's troops before and after the army.

Laishande, the founder of Spartan hegemony, accidentally died in this sudden battle, but in the following war, the Thebes failed to completely defeat the remnant army that lost the leader, but instead lost heavily.

The next day, Paul Sanias led the team to arrive slowly.

The Thebes saw that Spartans were crowded, their arms were neat and their morale was low.

But Paul Sanias did not immediately lead the army to attack, but camped nearby.

On the third day, the reinforcements of Athens also arrived.

The Thebes suddenly increased their confidence. They and the Athenians formed an array to prepare for the Spartans.

Pausaniyas did not immediately lead the army towards this coalition, nor did he accept the challenge of the enemy. Instead, he recruited his team officials to discuss: Is it an immediate war or is it a truce?To facilitate their recovery of the bodies of Laishande and other fallen soldiers.

In the end, the Spartans decided to truce.

After consultations between the two sides, the Spartan army evacuated Pioxia with the comrades' bodies.

Ordinary Spartan citizens were deeply saddened to see Laishande’s body. They recalled Laishande’s great contribution to Sparta and turned their grief into anger. They accused Spartan king Paul Sanias of deliberately delaying the meeting. , The murder of Laishande, and his crime of retreating without fighting.

The elders of the Council of Elders did not fully defend the Spartan king, because the impact of the death of Laishande and the retreat of Sparta was huge. It directly led to the conclusion of the four important Greek city-states. The Bata League, they are: Thebes, Athens, Corinth, Argos.

As a result, King Sparta Paul Sanias was convicted and exiled.

The Spartans realized that this anti-Spartan alliance had great harm to Spartan hegemony, and quickly summoned an army to try to eliminate the alliance.

The Anti-Spartan League quickly assembled the army in the Corinthian isthmus, hoping to resist Spartan's attack, and then entered the Spartan territory after counterattack, and completely burned the "hornet's nest".

As a result, the two sides started a protracted battle in the Corinth Isthmus...

………………………

Also in this year, there was a war in Sicily.

The fighting between Syracuse and Carthage's army on the north coast of Sicily has lasted for more than half a year.

When the time entered 394 BC, important countries and city-states in the Mediterranean were plunged into the mire of war, while Great Greece had enjoyed more than three years of peace.

Early in the morning, Lucasus came to the clinic to start cleaning and sorting things.As a medical apprentice, the preparation work before the clinic is his job every day. He firmly believes that hard work can win the trust of the teacher and learn real medicine. Today, he is in a particularly good mood because he wants to accompany the teacher to go out Far away.

When Dr. Nick Stratus came to the clinic slowly, Lucasus had already packed the package, and Nicolas Stratus, who had never been fond of trivial matters, only asked: "Is everything brought together?"

After receiving a positive answer from Lucasus, he nodded and said, "Go."
