Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1185

[Chapter 134 Debate at the Athenian Citizens Assembly (1)]

“This…this…” Calisenos was shocked when he heard this, and was taken by the momentum of the young commander, he didn’t dare to say a word of dissuasion.

“Then what if this fertile land is vacated?” Clotokataxes looked at Calicenos and said solemnly: “I think Mandinia is the place on the Peloponnesian Peninsula. Dionia’s most loyal ally, so I decided to give the land of Tygea to you Mandinia.”

Calisenos was beating wildly in his heart, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn’t help asking loudly again. One sentence: “You… you mean to give us the territory of Taigea?!”

No wonder he was ecstatic. The territory of Taigea and Mandinia is the only plain in the Arcadia region. Narrow from east to west, long from north to south, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north. Taigea is located in the south, occupying most of the land of this small plain, while Mandinia is located in the north, and the river floods every rainy season. Having suffered enough from the floods, he wanted to expand the land southward, so he continued to conflict with the Taigeans.

Just because Taigea was fully supported by Sparta, the Mandinians had scruples and did not cause a major war.

Unexpectedly, before the Corinthian War, the Spartans invaded Mandinia. With the help of the Taiga, they blocked the river in the north of the plain and destroyed the city of Mandinia by water attack, which became Mandinia. Eternal suffering for the Dynians.

Now that Mandinia has the opportunity to own the entire plain, not only can it gain more fertile land to enhance its strength, but also the long-standing worries will be completely resolved.

“I hope that Mandinia will give me an answer tomorrow! After tomorrow, I can only see that you Mandinia have given up this land, and thus will use it as Dionia’s military base in the Peloponnese. ”

Don’t worry, General Clotokatax, I’ll rush back to Mandinglia, and tomorrow we will give you a positive answer from Mandinia!” Carisenos said quickly.

“Okay, I’ll wait for your reply.” Clotokatax nodded.

Calicenos turned on his horse, clenched the reins, clamped the belly of the horse, urged the horse, and hurried to the north.

“His Royal Highness, hand over the territory of Tygea to Mandinia, I am afraid that other city-states in the Arcadia Alliance will be dissatisfied with Mandinia.” Plintols reminded at this time.

Clotokatax said with a firm expression: “Although the Arcadia Alliance has become our alliance, the internal situation of the alliance is too complicated, Taigea has betrayed, and Okomenus is also being lobbied… and How can such an alliance cooperate with us, how can we rest assured!

It is better to strengthen the relationship with Mandinia, which is really willing to cooperate with us. It was originally one of the strong city-states in the Arcadia region. If the Tygea Territory is merged, its

strength will skyrocket, and it will definitely become the absolute leader of the Arcadia Alliance.

Moreover, once Mandinia annexes the Tygea Territory, not only the city-states of the Arcadia Alliance will be dissatisfied, Other city-states in mainland Greece may also want to interfere (this is a tradition in mainland Greece, a city-state is destroyed by an enemy, and will be re-supported by an enemy’s enemy in a few years), Mandinia can only rely more on us to wear it. Onia!”

“The Lucomedes of Mandinia looks very shrewd, I’m afraid he may not agree.”

Clotokataxus smiled: “He is in Megalopolis now, After the Mandinians have made a decision, I am afraid he will not know about it. And even if he does, he alone cannot convince all the Mandinians in the face of such great interests.”

Crow Tokatax was very thoughtful, and Printoles had no doubts. In the moment just now, he felt in a trance that he was facing King Davos, and unconsciously even his tone became respectful. Some: “I understand.”

At this moment, Ctisus walked over with a solemn expression holding a crock pot, and said in a low voice: “This is the ashes of Adoris

… I took it carefully, and when I held it in my arms, tears flowed out again

Karias kept looking around and suddenly felt very nervous, because this was not the executive committee of the Athenian generals, nor the 500-member assembly of the Ares, but the citizens’ assembly on the Punix Hill, the highest in Athens. Authority, look at these cascading, surging heads, and listen to these tumultuous, heart-pounding murmurs, the Athenians proclaim that “they often have more than 5,000 people when they hold assemblies of citizens,” which seems by no means hypocrisy.

At this moment, he saw Callistratus, the chief general of Athens, walk to the center of the venue, raised his right arm, and his voice was loud and penetrating: “Citizens of Athens, the Citizens Assembly has officially begun!”

Gradually, the surrounding Athenian citizens stopped talking, and the whole venue became quiet.

Callistratus continued: “In the last meeting we discussed the issue of the Dionysian army’s unprovoked invasion of the Peloponnesus, and today Dionysian messengers also came to Athens, wanting to settle the issue. Talk to us about this issue, let’s listen to what he has to say first.”

When Kalistratos pointed his finger at Kalias, the tension in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he stood up and took a step by step. Going to the center of the venue…

In the past years, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Megara, Argos… Almost all the Greek city-states in this world once had messengers standing here, facing the picky The Athenian citizens expounded the claims of their city-state, or for war, or for alliance, or for trade, or just for a city-state citizen to break the law in Athens…

There have also been countless famous Athenian scholars published here Exciting speeches, Solon, Demosthenes, Aristotle, Themistocles, Camon, Pericles, Alcibiades, Socrates…

whether in Theonian Studies Garden, still in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Karias has learned many articles about speeches in Athens from his teacher Ancitanos, and he has traveled back and forth to various allies and tribes in the Western Mediterranean over the years. Although he received it in Thebes a few days ago A fairly satisfactory answer – Thebes will remain neutral, but Karias understands that the Thebes originally wanted to do this, not his credit. Today is finally the time for him to really use force.

Karias stood still in the center of the venue, his eyes swept across the indifferent faces around him, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

He took a deep breath, feeling the abundant breath flowing between his chest, throat, mouth, and nose, and then said: “Citizens of Athens, I represent the two million citizens of the Kingdom of Dionysus (excluding women and Children), I extend my sincere greetings to you!”

His first sentence caused a commotion in the surrounding Athenians: “2 million citizens?! Really? Counting overseas territories, Athens will not exceed more than With 15,000 citizens, Dionia is more than ten times that of Athens?!”

“I first want to correct a misspelling of Lord Callistratus, Dionia sent an army to the Peloponnese. , in order to fulfill the covenant and help Thebes against the Spartan army.

I admire you Athenians in this regard, just when the city of Thebes was occupied by the Spartans and the democrats of Thebes were in danger, You bravely stretched out your hand to help them; the

Thebes recaptured the city, but faced the attack of the Spartan army, and you were not afraid of the threat of the Spartans in such a bad situation, and the end Bis formed an alliance, not only provided them with material assistance, but also sent a fleet to directly participate in the war, threatening the rear of the Spartans. The Thebes were able to persist until now, and win the battle of Leuctra, and yours Selfless help is absolutely inseparable.

Although Dionia formed an alliance with Thebes relatively late, we, Dionia, are the culprit of Sparta, the culprit who kept provoking wars in the Greek mainland and caused the entire Greek people to be unable to live in peace. The culprit is abhorrent! We Dionysus also feel that Sparta continued to bully Athens after the Peloponnesian War, and even invaded your territory during the Great King’s Contract, wantonly killed and looted Piraeus The people of the villages near Porto, who have no repentance afterward, feel the same!

So, even if Athens is tied up because of the new contract, you should be optimistic about the success of Dionia’s attack on Sparta… …”

Kalistratus noticed that the faces of the citizens had softened, and he immediately interrupted Kalias intentionally: “Thank you for your wonderful speech, but first I want to To correct one of your mistakes, you can call me by my first name, but not as ‘sir’, because all citizens of Athens are equal, regardless of size. If I dared to call myself an elder, I am afraid that today my compatriots will use Tao The film kicked me out of the country.”

There was a burst of laughter in the venue.

Callistratus continued: “However, it is no wonder that you make such a mistake, because I have heard that in the kingdom of Dionia, the people of the country are subdivided into many levels, from kings, ministers, and down to The people at the bottom have strict classes, and it is impossible to call you by name, otherwise you will be punished, and it is no wonder that you are more cautious when you come to Athens.”

Karias smiled slightly: “I call you ‘sir’, not just right One of your respects, and even more respect is the power given to you by the citizens of Athens, which is the concentrated expression of the will of all the citizens of Athens. As for your talk about our Dionysus, I would like to ask Callistratus first Sir, have you been to any of our towns in Dionia?”
