Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

He was glad that he did not blindly follow some people and fled into Brindisi, but fled north back to his hometown.Because within a few days, Brindisi fell.

Later, he heard that during the battle, the Dionysians had more legions appearing from both wings, detouring to both sides of the Mesapi and Puchti formations, and the Mep’s cavalry was also taken by Dionysian. The two cavalry regiments were defeated, and the Mape Allied Forces had no chance to win from beginning to end, and they were almost surrounded and wiped out.

It is said that at the end of the battle, King Tremoni shouted, "Dave of Dionysia, dare to fight me?! dare to fight me?!..." led his elite guard towards Dai The king flag of the Onia Chinese Army was located, but was surrounded by soldiers of the Dionysian Army who swarmed in and eventually died.

Hearing the news of the king’s death, Elums sighed. He believed that all Pucciti fighters who had experienced that war could not afford the courage to fight the Dionysians.

In the next two years, the Puceti people spent in panic, and because of who took over as the new king, several important towns and tribes in Puceti were arguing with each other, and even a lot of fighting took place...

In the process, from time to time, news came from the south.

"Manduria was captured by the Dionysians..."

"Ugentum surrendered Dionia..."

"Odrum was captured..."

"Udie was captured..."

...

Ellms, who was in his forties, knew that the Dionysians would soon set foot in Pucciti’s territory, and with the chaos in Pucciti’s territory, it would be impossible to stop the Dionysian army from advancing. The footsteps, even for a moment.

Sure enough, when the Dionysian troops poured into Puceti one by one, the performance of the Puceti who claimed to be more fierce than the Mesapi was much worse than that of the Mesapi, and Blera dropped. Silvium fell, Barium, Venusia fell, and finally Canusian, where Eloms lived...

In less than four months, the Dionysians completely conquered Pucciti's entire territory, but this is also good, Pucciti has died too many people.

Elums and the other ethnic groups watched the heavily armed Dionysian soldiers escort the city’s new leader into the city, and then the Dionysians gathered the people of Canusian to the square.

Agassia is known as the "Chief of Canusian". He first comforted the present Canusian people not to be afraid because they are already citizens of Dionysia and will be protected by the Dionysian Law. Anyone dare to hurt them.

Then he began to read the newly issued decree of the Kingdom of Dionysia. The content of this decree still remembers today: "...All Puchti tribes in Kanusian territory must be disbanded, and every Kanu All people in Xi'an will have independent freedom. In addition to being under the jurisdiction of the Dionysian administrative agency and observing the "Dionysian Kingdom Law", you will no longer be governed by other organizations, and you will get your own land. , Only pay 1% tax every year, in addition to military service, no one will force you to do extra labor..."

At the time Elums, like everyone else, thought he had heard it wrong.

However, the following actions of the Dionysians proved that they were not talking empty words. They issued official documents to all the tribes in the Kanusian territory: First, the tribes handed over the occupied land to the city hall for redistribution; second It is for all ethnic groups to register with the household registration office of the city hall.

Elums knew how much shock this document caused to the various tribes of Kanusian. Within three days, there were six riots and riots in the territory of Kanusian, but they were all attacked by the powerful Dionysian army. For the rapid mitigation, a group of leaders and nobles who took the lead in riots were escorted to the square to behead their heads, which continued for several days. The heads of the murders were rolling and blood was everywhere.

This situation was also staged in another Puchti town, and this bloody killing also killed the courage of the Puchti people (due to Dionysia’s previous conquest of Mesapi, the Mesapi tribes The ongoing riots and riots made Davers and the Senate realize the difference between the Mesapi and Lucana and Bruti, and Dionys’s current strength also gave Daves enough He was determined to stop using subtle methods to slowly disintegrate the indigenous tribes, but quickly cut through the mess and completely solve the problem of being farther away from the influence of Greek culture than the fierce Meshapi people and possibly resisting it. Puchti ruled by Onia).

Obviously, Davers overestimated the fierceness of the Puchti people. Soon after the riots were quelled, Puchti’s tribal leaders competed to show their loyalty to the town hall, including the tribal leaders where Elems was.

A few days later, the Elums family, who had registered as citizens of Dionysia, were allocated new land.Feeling confused and a little excited about Elems who had lived in the tribe for the first half of his life: Dazed, because he suddenly lost his dependence on the tribe, he felt a little frightened and helpless; the excitement was out of the constraints of the tribe Elms has a feeling of freedom.

Although as a tribal warrior, he originally had land, but the re-acquired land only needs to pay a small tax every year, and the following three years are tax-free.

The "three-year tax exemption" bill made the Puchti of the newly divided land less dissatisfied with Dionia.

Under the rule of Dionysia, more than two years have passed. The city of Kanusian has changed a lot. I am afraid that only the temple of Lekaon still stands in the city. Many people still go to worship every year. But this number is declining, more and more people are beginning to believe in Pluto from Greece, and his temple is not far from the temple of Lekaon.Because the priests of the Temple of Hades can treat the sick for free, and the medical skills are also good, they also actively help the believers who have difficulties. Compared with the higher priests of the Lycaon temple, they are too affinity.

The young people of Canucian loved the football and football games invented by the Dionysians, including his children.During the farming season, they play in the open spaces in the city and outside the city from morning to night. In order to play these games, they also actively learn Greek, because their coaches are from Dionysians across the Gulf of Taranto. .

These Dionysians were recruits of the Legion who had participated in the conquest of Mesapi and Puchetti in recent years. Their senate assigned them a place in Kanusian. They settled down and were rejected and resisted from the beginning. Even disputes and conflicts occurred, and slowly opened the situation, gradually accepted by the Puchti people, first relying on the popular ball sports in southern Italy, followed by military training.

Under the mandatory decree of the City Hall, Puchti’s young men must participate in military training, and these new Dionysian soldiers were trained with them, and the friendship was there. This seven-day one-train training breeds.

For Elums, the most attractive thing is the cuisine of Dionysia.In the past two years, Elems has harvested farmland on the Ovanto River. Because he does not have to pay taxes, after leaving enough for his own use, he will take the rest of the grain to the city's market for sale. A few are sold and sold to the Christosia restaurant in the city, the price is not low.

For this reason, Elems who has money is often taken by former comrades to a restaurant in Christoya, drinking cool beer, eating food, recalling the joy of fighting in the past, and complaining about today’s various Change makes them happy.In fact, deep in their hearts, they admit that today's comfortable life is much better than two years ago.

Just as they were drinking wine, scolding Dionysia, and looking forward to life in the future, a news shocked the calm and long-standing city of Canusian: Dionysia declared war on the Dawn!

Playing the Downey, the Pucciti are happy, after all, they are dead enemies for decades, but Elems, who has just passed his two-year birthday, is just as worried about the war as some older Pucciti. It will cause the Puchti people who have experienced many wars and caused a sharp decline in the population to bleed again.

It turns out that they think too much.

When the mighty army entered from the south, and after building a huge barracks not far from the city of Kanusian, Elums knew that the next war would be nothing for the Pucciti.

The Puchti people were a little unhappy, and some young people ran to the town hall or the training camp outside the city to protest, asking to participate in the war against the Downey.Some people, such as Elums, organized a temporary market near the military camp under the organization of the city hall to sell the daily needs of the soldiers.In the past, the brave and cruel Kanusian people began to have a sense of doing business. Perhaps this is the biggest change in their concepts like Elems in the past two years.

Elems’s stall is near the entrance to the temporary market. This is a good location. It’s all because he got up early this morning. When he was thinking about it, there was a shock in the military camp there. The cheers of the ears made Ellemston refreshed: According to yesterday’s experience, this should be the end of the soldiers’ training.

Suddenly, the hawkers in the whole market stopped chatting and hanging out immediately, and they were busy ordering the goods to be sold on the stall. The grapes, olives, boiled beef and mutton, pulp water, bread, salted fish, Cloth, iron...

Elems and his wife had just set things up and saw a group of soldiers pouring into the market.

"Adoris, this is the very good pulp shop I told you." Several soldiers stood in front of the Elems booth, surrounded by a young man about 18 or 9 years old.

After hearing this, the young man looked at the stall and said immediately, "Give me a drink."
