Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Portitus' words made Camillus look ashamed.

At this moment, another highly respected veteran Ambustus raised his right fist and said aloud: "I chose Camulus as the dictator!"

Pantius also spoke immediately: "I also support Camillus as a dictator!"

Paulus followed: "Camilus is my choice!"

...

When the voice yelling Camillus continued to ring through the venue, Marugine Ensis, who had always disagreed with Portitus, remained silent.

In Quintus' envious eyes, Camiros clenched his fists...

In December 13th of the Kingdom of Dionia (that is, 380 BC), the veterans reached an agreement: to choose a dictator to lead Rome to fight the Kingdom of Dionia.

At the next 100-member group meeting held in Mars Square, the veteran Camillus was once again elected as a dictator by the conference to fully respond to the war with Dionia.

Over the next period of time, the battlefield in the north became silent.

After discovering that there are heavy troops stationed in Antium and Sutnikum, the Walseys temporarily stopped retaking the occupation by the Romans, considering the lack of their own strength, and the suggestion of Amintas. The town’s plan, while allowing the soldiers to train with the Dionysian First Army, in order to strengthen cooperation in future battles, began to contact more racial forces that were dissatisfied with the Romans, such as the Helnikians and horses. Westerners, Aquiles, and even Sabines...come against Rome.

……………………………………

"Under the pressure of 50,000 troops in Rome, the weak Walseys, with the help of Dionysians, actually repulsed the Romans!" The news quickly spread throughout the whole of central Italy, and indeed made some The forces stirred their minds.

As a result, Tapirus, who was staying in the city of Selsche, became busy.

The news that "The Romans were defeated by Dionysian-Walsey Allied Forces" also spread to the neighboring mountains of Samone, who was originally dissatisfied with Dionys's delay in returning the captives, and was prepared to send envoys to the map The high-ranking Kautini, who protested in Riy, immediately fell into silence after quietly observing the situation.

This news brought the Romans to question Carthage's messengers: "If the Carthage will not send troops to attack Dionia, Rome will have to sign a truce with Dionia!" On the Leah Peninsula, into Marco’s ear, he immediately realized that he had to change his strategy, and he could not continue to stalemate with Hanno on the issue of not sending troops, otherwise, once the Romans and Dionys ceased armistice, It would be very difficult for the Carthage to attack Dionia independently.Even with his knowledge of the conservative fellows in the Senate, they are likely to give up declaring war on Dionia and sign a peace agreement with it again.

Therefore, he immediately convened a meeting of family members. After reaching an agreement, he quickly dispatched a messenger to the Carthage senate, and Pretakuba said at the venue: The Iberian colony was willing to send 20,000 troops to obey the senate Commander appointed.

He was satisfied with Marco’s softness and regained control of Hanno, but he also knew that the situation at this time no longer allowed him to procrastinate, so the Senate soon made a "send troops to Sicily and attack Dioni "Asian Territory" resolution.

The commander-in-chief of the Carthage army appointed by the Senate is Monte Adno. He is a member of the Hanno faction. He has been implementing the political concept of "developing inland" that Hanno admires for many years, and led the army to defeat Numibi many times. The tribes of Asia have made great contributions to the conquest of Numbia by Carthage.Therefore, Hano let this veteran with outstanding military achievements as the commander-in-chief of Sicily, he was quite relieved.

As a result, the entire city of Carthage, the confederates, and the area of ​​Numbia controlled by it all acted, recruiting recruiters, gathering warships, and preparing for the heavy load...

At this time, the riots in Lidom, Kingdom of Dionysia, which lasted for dozens of days, have subsided. Citizens throughout the city are holding an important civic conference. The conference has only one theme-vote to decide whether to Lijim was completely incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia.

The result is obvious. The people who are suffering from hunger voted in favor, and the merchants who hoped that their family’s trade can take a step forward voted in favor. Citizens with greater political ambitions voted in favor... Some people strongly opposed, but the civic assembly voted in favor of this important proposal related to the future development of Lijim.

When Li Jim’s messenger brought this important news to Turi, Davers was ready, and he immediately wrote an enthusiastic letter praising the Li Jim people for making the most correct decision, and Solemn promise: After Li Jim truly becomes part of the kingdom, he will continue to maintain trade prosperity, and his people will receive more rights and better care...

At the same time, under his proposal, the Senate quickly appointed Protsilaus as the chief executive of Lijim, with the concurrently appointed Lijim judges, tax officials, household registration officials... and other city officials sitting on the fleet Going south, the fleet also carried a lot of grain transferred from the granary.

When passing the port of Lockley, the 7th Army, which had been notified, sent a large group of soldiers and boarded the fleet.

The fleet finally reached the port of Lijim, and Alcibidas and Fidun led a large number of people to greet them.

Protsilaus read out King Daveus's appointment to him. None of the people present objected loudly. Instead, he was overwhelmed by seeing the soldiers escorting large amounts of food ashore.

Protsilaus also announced another appointment, which was signed by King Davers and the Senate, and Alcibidas and Feidun were elected Elders of the Kingdom of Dionysia.

The people of Lijim cheered.

However, these two new veterans could not immediately go to Turui, but had to stay temporarily to assist Protesilaus to take over the affairs of the entire city-state.

With the full assistance of the two of them, and another 1,000 soldiers of the 7th Legion to maintain order, coupled with the political skills tempered by Protsilaus in these dozens of years of administrative experience, the whole process of taking over Lijim is still Relatively stable.

After more than ten days, Alcibidas and Feidun received an invitation from the Senate to send them to Turri to attend this year’s Dionysian National Assembly.

At this time, the wounded soldiers of the First Army and the remains of the deceased had been sent back to Turui.

This is the time when the Kingdom of Dionysian Congressmen's Congress and the Congress of Conservation Officers are about to be held, and the annual Kingdom Football Finals will also be held.On January 1, 2014 (379 BC), according to the traditional customs formed since the establishment of the kingdom, on the first day of the new year, the king, the elders, and the representatives of the members of the local councils of various cities in the country, protectors Representatives gathered in front of the Temple of Hades in the Holy Hill.

As the high priest, King Dapheus chanted the obituary of the ceremonies of the heroes aloud.

In the solemn sound of music, the court guards took a steady step and carried the stele engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in Walsey and Campania into the Hall of Heroes. Bless and admire the people, and their heroes will also guard this land they have defended with their lives.

Because of this, relatives of the deceased who also came to mourn, despite the sadness of their expressions, seldom cried, but instead had pride and expectation in their eyes.

On the second day, the same group of parliamentarians and ambassadorial representatives sat on the VIP seats of the main stadium of Dionysian, watched the opening ceremony of the lively Kingdom Football Final, and the first game afterwards.

For those lawmakers from the Dawn region who came to Turri for the first time, the boiling scene of more than 50,000 spectators cheering them shocked their spirits, and the splendid game scene also attracted their attention...

On the third day, the Assembly of Parliament was convened.

The venue is in the Great Hall of the Senate. This venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, has finally been able to fully function and was fully seated.In order to ensure that the participants can hear clearly, more than ten speakers were arranged around the podium in the center of the venue.

Of course, in accordance with past practice, all members of the parliament applauded Li Jim for joining the Kingdom shortly after the start of the General Assembly.

Next, the attention of the participants this time was on two topics-drought and war, so when the Secretary of Agriculture Burcos told about the disaster relief situation in the kingdom last year and some new agriculture will be taken this year After the move, lawmakers spoke enthusiastically.

One of them, Mesapi, from Udie, said what many people said. The old man also experienced the drought in South Italy more than 20 years ago. Because the Mesapi people are not as prosperous as the Greeks in sea trade. He can buy food everywhere, and he can colonize, so he saw many Mesapi people starved to death in his own eyes, and he has not heard of this drought as much as 20 years ago. There was news of the Mesapi people starving to death, so he excitedly praised the Kingdom's disaster relief achievements, which resonated with many people.

Of course, some people expressed concern: "Although the drought has ended, the domestic food supply has become increasingly tense, not to mention that now the war has broken out, can the domestic food supply sustain this year's autumn harvest?"

Note: The Hundred People’s Congress is one of the three major civic conferences in Rome. At this stage, it is the highest level of civic conference. The Hundred People’s Congress formed according to property and class can only have one opinion, and according to the status of the Hundred People’s Congress, from high to low Come to vote in turn. When the proposal gains more than half of the support, the vote is immediately terminated. Often the hundred-member group often does not have the opportunity to vote, and they are mostly composed of civilians.

The other two are the Curia People’s Association and the Tribbs Society. The Curia People’s Association is only a Roman clan that can participate in the people’s assembly. The civilians are completely excluded. It has great power during the king’s administration, and at this stage The power was greatly reduced, but it also dealt with some noble matters.At this stage, the Tribes People's Association is only a rally held by the Roman civilians according to the Tribes to which they belong. The proposals generated are only valid for the civilians.A hundred years later, it became the main legislature of Rome.
