Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

If what they said at the beginning would make the civilians vigilant, but the subsequent defamation of Marcus touched the sensitive nerves of the civilians: "I know you, you are a running dog of the Komenelius clan, You were the one who framed Lord Marcus at the Civic Assembly!"

"Greus, you were among the nobles who captured Master Marcus. You dared to appear before us!"

...

Just as the group was excited, a voice shouted: "Kill them and avenge Master Marcus!" Soon, the quarrel turned into a fight, and the venue became chaotic, with screams and crying one slice.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this on the stage, Tolmed was afraid to make trouble, and he quickly asked Daveus: "Do you want to stop it?"

Daveus shook his head: "Wait a minute."

After a while, the bugle sounded, the soldiers on the sidelines roared again, and sent a team to squeeze into the crowd. I saw dozens of nobles and diners beaten to death, and the soldiers dragged them out. Throw it away on the sidelines, but send a doctor to treat other injured civilians.

At this time, Davers continued to speak loudly to the already calm crowd on the high platform: "I'm afraid you don't know yet. After learning that she was falsely accused, Marcus quietly wrote a letter to his family. , Showing his determination to die, do you want to know what he said in the letter?"

The Roman people listened to the translator's translation, and curiosity and guilt prompted them to shout without hesitation: "Think!!!!!!"

"Then let Purieus Manlius read this letter to you." After the words of Daveus, the Roman people were surprised: Purieus Manlius was The elders of the Roman Senate, the current patriarch of the Manlius clan, did he actually turn to the Dionysians?!

The skeptical people widened their eyes in surprise when they saw the man on the high platform: it was indeed Publius Manlius.

Facing the eyes of the Roman people, the current Patriarch of Manlius bowed his head in shame.At this moment, Daphus's voice rang in his ears: "Go ahead, Master Publius!"

He even shook his body, and in his mind it appeared that the fierce Dionysian soldiers cut off the heads of dozens of Roman nobles he knew in a row in front of him. The blood and the head of the ground crushed his fragility. Resistance, for the survival of the family, he chose to succumb, just like when Marcus was executed by the senate, he soon made a decision "to succumb to the veterans, not to use the name of the family of Capitolinus." .

With a smiling gaze of Daphes, his hands were shaking slightly, and he took out the letter, which he wrote under the dictation of Daphes and imitated Marcus himself: "...Pu... Pulius, my brother, you don’t need to... persuade me again, I know the despicable tricks of the Senate, slandering me to restore Wang Zheng, this is to kill me!

I have fought bravely in my life and never surrendered to anyone, so I will never beg for mercy on their knees, even if they use the big crimes to stigmatize my reputation, usurp my honor, and let me follow me. Civilians doubt me, and I am fearless!

My only regret is that I have made a commitment to help those who believe in me, follow me, and fight with the Senate, help them to relieve their heavy debts, and let them all own their own land. Let their cattle and sheep also graze on the public land of Rome!In fact, I still have a promise in my heart that I haven’t told them, that is, to give them the opportunity to run for senior Roman positions, become veterans, and serve as governors... Unfortunately, this can no longer be achieved.

I finally understand now that it is almost impossible to win power for civilians through words!If the gods can give me another chance, I will definitely arm the people, use sharp spears and anger in my heart to overthrow the terrible and greedy rule of the Roman nobles, and build an elephant like I often told you The beautiful regime like the Kingdom of Dioria in the south of Rome, regardless of nobility and civilians, every citizen has equal rights!——“When I was here, Purius Manlius looked up at Daveus, not far away. The real author of the letter was listening carefully, as if the letter were true Like existence.

When his eyes turned to the high platform, he suddenly saw that many people were sobbing. He froze for a moment, subconsciously increased the volume, and continued to say: "Publius, my brother, later in the family It’s up to you to work hard. If possible, try to help a group of difficult civilians... I’m very unwilling to die because of the dictatorship! The gods will be punished for my injustice. , Those who benefited from my death should not be too happy! Attribution: Marcus Manlius Capitolinus"

After Purieus read the letter, there was already a cry in the square. Most of the people did not doubt the authenticity of the letter. They were moved by Marcus' persistent attachment to fight for their rights before he died. They were ashamed that they had not determined to save such a great and noble leader.

In the cry, someone shouted excitedly: "Marcus!"

Get a loud response from countless people: "Marcus!!! Marcus!!! Marcus!!!!!!"

The people in the square unanimously shouted his name with excitement.

The shout echoed over the city of Rome, and even elders and nobles on Capitoline Hill stared at the square. They saw the crowd gathered on the square and thought that these Roman people were fighting against the Dionysians. But they did not know that these Roman civilians were mourning the noble traitor they hated most.

The excitement of the Roman people continued for some time before gradually calming down.

At this time, Dapheus said aloud: "One year after Marcus was killed, there was a plague in Rome. This is not the warning that the priests said, "The gods against the arrogant Marcus." God punishes those who framed a great Roman hero! And today, we Dionysians came to Rome, also in response to the curse of Marcus, to overthrow the Roman nobles who were above and cruelly oppressing you, Build with you a new Rome as Marcus said in his letter!"

While Davos gave a passionate speech, Purieus Manlius nodded sideways.

Although the Roman people were still full of vigilance and suspicion in their hearts, their eyes on Daveus were less angry.

Someone was brave and asked aloud, "How are you going to build a new Rome with us?"

"Good question!" Daveus responded immediately: "Then my newly appointed Roman administrative assistant will answer your question and issue my order!"

Then, the Roman people saw a gorgeous Burton man with black piping and white stripes walked upright on the high platform. After saluting to King Daveus, he turned to face the people below.

Some of the people who stood at the front and lived in the slums of Rome suddenly widened their eyes in surprise: Isn't this Valkes?!

Others could not help shouting, "Walkes, are you?!"

Valks held his head proudly and said, "I am now the Roman Administrative Adjutant appointed by His Majesty the King, which is a little higher than the position of a municipal officer as you know, please show me respect when I speak next time!"

His words just fell, and there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone whispered and talked, and soon the news spread throughout the audience: a Roman civilian who was just like them, and once became a slave, but now he has become the Kingdom of Dionia Senior officials, stand on the high platform and train them.

Daveus calmly watched the commotion on the stage, and was very satisfied with the huge impact of the model of Valkes on the Roman civilians. He was very clear: in Italy, in the land of the Western Mediterranean, there is a city-state from time to time. Citizens departed from the original city-state for some reason and invested in another city-state, and may even be an enemy state, but they will not be reused and will not enter the core circle of the city-state, but often become civilians. This is also important for Roman civilians. One of the sources (of course, there will be some clan draggers from other states who brought hundreds of people together to Rome and were accepted by the Roman clan commune to share power, but then they became nobles).Being able to open his mind like Persia, accepting foreign fugitives, even enemies, and reusing them, this practice is very rare in the entire Mediterranean country, which also caused the Greeks and Persia to be dead enemies. The country was expelled and often turned to Persia.

And what will the Roman civilians do when they suddenly see a huge change in the social status of Valks?Davis waited and waited.

The neat roar of the Dionysian soldiers once again calmed the square.

Varkes cleared his throat, took a few breaths, recalled what he had tried to memorize yesterday, and said aloud: "Well, His Majesty King Davos announced to all Roman people,'Since Dionia has owned the city of Rome , All the debts owed by the Roman civilians to the nobility were abolished, and all the slaves of the Roman nobility and the public servants of the former Roman city became free people -'"

Valkes just finished speaking, and the slaves at the back of the square cheered.

In comparison, the Roman civilians still seemed a bit calm. Rome was occupied by aliens. Most of the elders and nobles ran to the Capitolin. Of course, it was impossible to find them to repay their debts, but they also raised their brows. , Knowing clearly: as long as the nobles cannot repel the Dionysians, their debts may be permanently written off!
