Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1199

[Chapter 148 Rebuilding Sparta (1)]

During this difficult time, civil strife broke out in a town in the south, the king of the town led a people loyal to him to join Sparta, the strength of Sparta was greatly strengthened, and with their help, finally The Laconian war was won, and Sparta established its leadership in the region.

The Lacidian people of the surrendered villages were then called the Berians (i.e. the frontiers of the ruling city-states), who had personal liberty and the right to conduct local affairs, but not in the Spartan city-states. political rights, and were also placed under the supervision of military officers sent by Sparta to ensure their military service and the cultivation of royal estates.

And the people of the conquered villages, even if they were compatriots, were ruthlessly demoted to slaves, and this is the origin of the Helaus.

Also from this time on, Sparta established a dual king system (one was born in the native Sparta, from the Ajidai clan; one was the previous king from the south, from the Euriponides clan).

Now, Clotokatax will use this great opportunity to conquer Sparta to completely overturn the original political structure of Sparta and establish a new political system.

He sent messengers to the villages of the Periacs, invited them to Sparta, and promised them that Dionysus would never do them any harm, but would give them the right to participate in their formation A new Spartan.

In addition, he personally spoke to the captured soldiers of Periasia before releasing them.

At the same time, he also sent messengers to Messenia, and brought in a group of New Messenian citizens from Helots, and asked them to meet the Helots who were hiding in the mountains, and used their own examples to persuade these frightened, The starving Heroth came down the mountain and cooperated with Dionysus.

Meanwhile, Clotokatax did not speak to any of the Spartans.

Just as he had arranged these tasks and waited quietly for the arrival of the Piriasis and the Helots, he suddenly received a report from the garrison of the upper Eurotas defensive camp: Nearly 1,000 Spartan rout soldiers came. When these rout soldiers learned that Sparta had been occupied, they surrendered without fighting. Among the captured rout soldiers was the Spartan king Agesilaus.

When Clotokatax heard the news, he was so excited that he almost jumped up: the capture of Agesilaus and the army he led eliminated the last worry in his heart, and he could let go of his hands and feet in this land. implement your own plan.

In order to prevent accidents, he also dispatched a heavy infantry brigade to escort these ten Spartans.

A day later, Clotokatax saw the captives at the northern entrance of Sparta, ragged and disheveled, staggering about when they walked, and seemed ready to fall at any moment.

Klotokatax now understands why the garrison company of the defensive camp can easily capture the nearly 1,000-strong rout with only 200 men.

His eyes and those of the generals were all focused on the leading Spartan: pale hair, beard, gray complexion, scrawny, with his left leg curled, with a cane, staggering forward with the help of others, Only those eyes seemed divine.

Seeing Clotokatax and others in front, the old man pushed away the person who was supporting him, and walked forward stubbornly and with difficulty.

“Respected King Agesilaus!” Clotokatax did not show the arrogance of a victor, but said in a gentle tone: “Hello! I am the Dionia commander, Clotoka. Tucks.”

“I know you… Davos’ son.” Agesilaus seemed a little calm at the moment, and said in a hoarse voice: “This time we Sparta lost… I want to know about you. How did you deal with… we Spartan people?!”

The last sentence was a little trembling, but it still revealed the worry in his heart.

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Clotokatax’s mouth, and he said in a serious tone: “They have all been imprisoned, and many of them are still unwilling to accept the fact that they were defeated, and they seem to have feelings for the coalition army you led. Hope!”

Agesilaus was silent for a while, then looked directly at him, and said in a meaningful deep voice: “If you lose, you will lose, and the city of Sparta has already been occupied, so what else can you expect… …But we Sparta have been very influential throughout Greece for decades. Dionia wants to thwart the conspiracy of Persia and dominate these city-states in Greece. We Sparta can still provide you with great help! The

old man who was known as “Sparta’s toughest main fighting faction” actually showed him an attitude of wanting to actively cooperate, which surprised Clotokatax. He calmed down and responded: “We The plan for dealing with Sparta has been determined, I believe you will know it soon, and I hope you will lead the people to actively cooperate.”

Agesilaus gave him a deep look, then looked back at him. The passing soldiers: “Okay. But before that, I hope we can take a good bath and eat a full meal.”

“Don’t worry, we will arrange it.” Clotokatax looked a little bit. Complicated said: “I have good news to tell you that your son Archie Damus was injured and fled into the mountains. As a result, he fell into a coma because of a festering wound. His guards carried him out of the mountains and surrendered to us. He was treated by our doctor in the city of Tigea, and he was still awake when I left, but his health was much better than before.”

Archidamus is the only son of Agesilaus, the direct bloodline of the royal family of Ajidai .

When he received this news, the heart that Agsilaus had been thinking about fell down, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly: “It is the glory of the Spartans to die in battle, and too many have died in this war. The Spartan warrior! But anyway, thank you for your rescue, there is only one real Spartan!”

Clotokatax stared at Agasilaus’ retreating back in a daze. After a while, he turned around and said to Sekelian and the others in a deep voice, “This king of Sparta is in I’m afraid I’ve been in the mountains for several days, I’m so hungry, I finally walked back, and when I learned the bad news of the occupation of Sparta, it’s not easy to be so calm! It’s just… I hope he is there After learning about our plan to reorganize Sparta, we can still maintain such composure!”

The trace of resentment revealed in Clotokatax’s voice made Secorian a little surprised. Lotokatax blamed the death of Adoris mainly on the Spartan commander, Agesilaus.

Some of the Helots who fled to the mountains obeyed the advice of the messengers from Messenia and returned to Sparta one after another. Sure enough, as the messenger said, the Dionian army not only did not arrest them, but arranged for them. Shelter, food distribution, which prompted more starving blacks to run down the mountain.

After listening to the persuasion of the Dionysian messenger, the people of the various Piriasi villages sent their representatives to Sparta to discuss matters.

A few days later, Clotokatax invited the representatives of Piriasi and Heros into the Spartan council, and seated them in the wooden chairs where the Spartan elders had been seated. superior.

After everything was ready, Clotokatax stood in front of the venue, looking at the somewhat restless delegates, he said gently: “Everyone, today is an important day for you, first of all please Allow me to call you Lacidians. Don’t be surprised, both you Piriasians and you Heros were once of the same race as the Spartans, only a few hundred years ago your Ancestors suffered defeat in the war against Sparta to unify Lagonia, you not only lost your lands and rights, but also deprived of your true racial name, those who surrendered became Berias and were taken prisoner became the Black Rose—”

Clotokatax said here, and there was a great commotion in the venue.

Although the Periasians have a little heritage, hundreds of years have passed, and the real history has long been blurred. On the contrary, the Spartans have been deliberately promoting the statement that the generations of the Periasians have passed. It became clearer and clearer that they were foreign settlers who, after an agreement with the Spartans, were allowed to settle on the frontier of the land.

And the situation of the blacks is even worse. They are slaves from generation to generation. The Spartans will never let them read and read. Therefore, most of them are illiterate. They

had

to work hard for the Spartans. They didn’t know the history of their own race, and they didn’t even know the names of their parents.

They: “You, like the Spartans, were once the masters of this land!” This completely subverted their previous cognition, and they were all shocked.

They discussed each other suspiciously, and even dared to ask Clotokatax.

“Our Dionian scholars have studied the history of Sparta and obtained some very precious materials, which can fully prove that you were all Lacidians. If you want to see it, wait for the future Greek Once

the situation has stabilized, I will invite you to read these treasures in the library

of Turii. Now I will tell you that the reason why the Dionysian army took Messenia was to make the once popular Spartans The enslaved Messenians regained their independence. You have communicated with them before, and it should be clear that we Dionia have done what we said

and now Dionia captured Sparta. One of the important reasons is to make today’s times easier You who are enslaved regain your lost lands and rights, and become the true masters of Ragnia!
