Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Father, Rome is changing now! Not all civilians like Lisinius, Frius... served as military and political officials! The dictator of Camulus once said,'In the future, the Senate will be open to Roman civilians!' "

"Well, Camillus! It was he who ordered the arrest of our civilian leader Marcus! Don't believe the nobles, we used to be deceived by them, and we always gave up fighting at a critical time before it led to Rome. It has not been changed! Child, the Lisinius family was originally a noble among the civilians, and so was Fleus. They are closely related to those nobles, not comparable to us, you don’t have any extravagance! But now we don’t need to Worry more about it, because the nobles in Rome have been completely defeated!"

"What do you mean?"

"The Dionysians announced the cancellation of all our debts! They announced that'as long as there are Roman civilians willing to become Dionysian citizens, they can be allocated to fertile land and comfortable dwellings'! They also declared'any Dionysians Citizens and Roman civilians can apply for public office in the Kingdom, and through their political achievements, they will eventually become veterans'!..."

"Father, the Dionysians are the enemies! The enemies who have occupied our homeland! Anything they say is a lie, just to deceive us not to resist their aggression!--"

"No, they did not deceive! They searched out the paper rolls and wooden boards in which all the noble residences in Rome were recorded, and destroyed them all in the square! They held the noble families together and confiscated their houses and land. Started to assign to the Roman civilians who joined Dionysia! They also made a former Roman civilian who became slave because of debt as a municipal officer! I also specifically asked someone to inquire, there are many veterans of the Kingdom of Dionysia They all came from a humble background, so—"

"Father! It doesn't matter whether the Dionysians did these things or not, until we recapture the city of Rome, it's all useless! On the contrary, these Romans who benefited from the Dionysians will inevitably receive Serious punishment from the Senate!"

"Recapture the city of Rome? Then you can do it! Look at these scars on my body. Although I haven't been a squadron leader, I have fought in more battles than you. To win, it is not to see which side has more soldiers, more brave, more obedient, and better armor, right? When the Dionysians attacked the city, although I did not fight in the city, I fled home. The neighbors have learned in detail that Dionysian soldiers are no less brave than Roman citizens, but their armor and weapons and siege equipment far exceed us. They overcame the Roman city, but they did not violate the people in the city, and they also respected the discipline. Surpassed Roman citizens—"

"We have 70,000 troops! Our commander-in-chief is Camillus! We will definitely recapture the city of Rome! Father, you don’t have to say anything, hurry and go to the station to rest, wait for us to drive away the Dionysians, a family You can reunite!"

"Camilus is stronger than the king of Dionysia who has won the battle?! 70,000 people can capture the Roman city with 50,000 defenses?! Sextus, you are confused, look at your men Soldiers, they are very clear!"

After being reminded by his father, Sectus suddenly found that some of his men were silent, some were embarrassed, and more were around the old people, asking about the situation in the city, looking Quite excited.

This is what Sectus remembered: In this squadron he led, there were not many citizens like him who grew up in the city of Rome since he was a child. Most of them were Romans who joined Rome in this decade. The sense of identity is not strong, and I am afraid I cannot bear such temptation.

So he loudly reminded the soldiers: "Don’t forget that the Dionysians are aliens, they don’t believe in Jupiter, Juno, Vesta! They also have kings! We can’t go to such a place with Rome A completely different foreign country!"

"Rome was originally a city-state composed of many races, as was Dionia. It is said that many aliens also became their elders, and their kings also personally worshipped the Temple of Diana, the Temple of Vesta, and even The gods of our civilians, Kellys, Liber, and Libera, which shows that Dionysia completely allows us to have our own gods! As for saying that they have kings, there is nothing to worry about. Don’t forget the original ones. When the Roman aristocracy killed Marcus, he was charged with wanting to be a king, but he was a Roman hero who really cared about our civilians! Therefore, whether or not a king is important does not matter. What matters is whether we can treat us more fairly. Civilians, let us not have to worry about debts and become slaves, but can obtain land, power?!" another old man said loudly.

The last few words made the soldiers' eyes bright.

"Yeah, just like I now have five acres of land south of the river port and the Tiber River, which is far more fertile than my original land in the west of the city of Fidena, and it is much more convenient to farm." Sextus 'S father patted his injured leg and said happily: "My family also moved to the Palatine Hill and lived in my former creditor-a large mansion belonging to the Claudius clan. I once kneeled At the door of that house, I prayed that they would delay my debt repayment... Hahaha, now I can become the owner of that house!"

"Father, you...you..." When Sectus heard this, his eyes were black.

"Yes, I have applied to become a citizen of Dioria, and shared the property of the claudius clan. According to the celebrity style of their clan, we will definitely regard our family as a dead enemy. You are still hesitating What!" The old man slammed suddenly.

"You're crazy! Even to provoke the Claudius!" Sextus responded angrily, but his face was full of fear.

"Not only did your father provoke the nobles, but many civilians in the city are now contaminated with the blood of nobles and diners. They used to treat us cruelly, and now it is our turn to retaliate!" Another old man was on the sidelines Said with hate.

Not only did his words respond to other old men, but many soldiers also agreed.

Sextus became silent.

At this time, his father persuaded again: "Child, the Roman Chief Executive from Asturi, Asistes, announced an order today. In two days, civilians from all Roman cities will gather in the square to jointly elect members, Forming the local council of Rome, its role is to supervise and assist the Roman chief executive to govern the city. Any civilian can participate in the registration. I have decided to run.

Also...The Chief Executive of Asistes also announced that he would divide the city of Rome into nine districts. Considering that we do not have much administrative experience yet, we don’t know much about the laws and systems of the Kingdom of Dionysia, The Demo chief in a city is temporarily served by officials of the Kingdom of Dionynia, but the adjutant Demo will be selected among the Roman civilians. While assisting the governor in governing the Roman city, they will also learn from government experience in order to serve in the future. 'S position...

An important condition for the selection of these demon deputies is that they can speak Greek to facilitate better communication with Dionysian officials.Sextus, you have studied Greek, and I hope that you will become the deputy demolition officer in the town of Silio!"

Sextus is still silent.

Not only the old people are watching him, but the soldiers are watching him, especially those hesitant soldiers are looking forward to the squadron leader’s decision to help them make a final decision.

"We... just entered the city of Rome, the Dionysians would not doubt us, attack us?" When the Sectus finally said this, the old people smiled, the vast majority The soldiers were also relieved.

At the same time, some soldiers also worriedly reminded: "Let us not take weapons into the city? In case the Dionysian repented, wouldn't we walk into the wolf den like a lamb!"

This immediately aroused the anger of the old people: "Fool! Am I putting my children in danger! You can not believe in the Dionysians, but how can you not believe in your parents!..."

"Shall we enter Rome now?" Sextus interrupted their complaints.

"How is that possible! Our children haven't seen it yet!" Some old people protested.

"In order for Dionia to finally defeat the Roman nobles, we must allow more civilians to leave the army led by Camus and return to the city of Rome to join Dionysianism in order to weaken the strength of the Roman nobles. , Defend the benefits we have just acquired!" Sectus' father reminded loudly.

Now that he had decided to betray Rome, Sextus had completely settled to consider his way out, so he thought about it for a while before saying to the old people: "You should know that the dictator Camulus has always been right The security requirements of the camp are very strict. Are you unable to enter or go to the people’s camp first? There are also many civilians who are worthy of you. And the soldiers and I returned to the camp and quietly told other people about the changes in the city of Rome. Civilian soldiers of course, including your loved ones. After dark, all of our willing soldiers will break out of the camp together with you, and return to Rome together!"

"Yes, just do it!" Sextus's father took the lead and agreed.

……………………………………

During this time, I have been worried about the invasion of the Dionysian army and the fall of the Roman city. In addition to the continuous march of these days, Camillus has not had a good rest. He was so devastated by Davis’s strategy After a good night’s sleep, I even dreamed that I had driven away the Dionysians and led the army into Rome.
