[Chapter 22 Killing and Appeasement (1)]

Sesta himself agreed and thanked Davos for his recommendation. The other elders also had no objection. I am afraid that the only objection was Antiques in Amendolara, and he had to continue to be the fire chief. Serve the people.

At the same time, Davos also made Asistus

serve as Sesta’s secretary, assisting Sesta in handling Niutum’s affairs, implementing the policy against the Lucanians, and letting Bagule serve as the clerk. The special inspector of Niutum, dealing with various disputes and conflicts in the city, coordinating the relationship between the Lucanians and the Greeks… and so on.

After capturing Niutum, the first thing Sesta did was to screen out the captives: the real Niutum people who had dominated the original position and their affiliates and families were all imprisoned first, and they were forced to join Niu. Tum’s small tribe persuaded him to submit.

He entrusted the task to Bagul.

The second thing is to free the slaves.

There are slaves in Niutum, and there are quite a few, mainly from two sources: one is the Greeks, who were plundered by the Lucanians, and most of them are Turians, because Niutum is close to Turi Iraq, every year will go east to harass.

Especially after the great defeat of the Turii army last year, the Lukaria coalition went deep into the Xubari plain and captured a lot of Turui people; followed by the Lukarians, mainly led by Grummentum. The tribes that were defeated by the tribal coalition and were unwilling to obey Niutum, these Lucanian slaves were handed over to Bagul and Asistes to deal with.

The Greek slaves were summoned by Sesta outside the city gates.

Looking at these Greeks who were once well-fed and well-fed, but now skinny, even the women are naked and dumbfounded… Sesta was greatly touched, and he said emotionally: “Greeks, you have suffered hardships. . Today Hades sent our Tua Alliance to rescue you and avenge you!”

After speaking, most of the slaves burst into tears.

Sesta gave an order, and the soldiers pressed Ram and other prisoners of nearly 700 naked* inside, and then gave them spears and sabers to Greek slaves, and he said loudly: “Anyone who insults you, you can take revenge! ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Asisters quickly stopped Sesta and said, “Sir, you can’t do this, you are violating the order of the Senate!”

“So what!” Sesta pointed at those The Greek slave said angrily: “Look at them! Any Greek who sees this will choose to do like me! The consul slaughtered General Crotone in Turii before and told the great Greeks, Tua The Alliance must not be messed with! Today I want to let the Lucanians know that the Greeks are not to be messed with!” As

he was speaking, a Greek male slave with uncontrollable hatred howled, with spears in both hands, rushing up, A prisoner was stabbed.

With this example, other slaves also rushed up to assassinate, and the prisoners screamed in horror, knowing that disaster was coming, and

began to try to resist.

The soldiers who surrounded them knocked them down with their round shields, stifled their attempts, and then let the slaves slaughter them…

The killing continued until the end and could not continue because the remaining captives were desperately killed by Greek slave girls Protecting…

Sesta felt strange, and Asisters hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation. After returning, he told Sesta with a heavy expression: “These women either gave birth to children after being insulted by these captives, or they are still pregnant. Pregnant…poor Greek woman!…It’s all because Greek men are not up to their standards and can’t protect them, so they are put into such a tragic situation!…Sir, are you going to continue killing?”

“Damn Lu Kanian!” Sesta scolded fiercely, then raised his hand and said coldly, “Stop!”

After the order was issued, there were still slaves who were still waving their spears unwillingly, threatening Let the slave girl standing in front of the Lucanians go away, and the soldiers immediately go up and disarm her.

Sesta stepped forward, stepped on a corpse, and shouted to the Greek slaves: “Listen! The new law passed by the Tua Union stipulates, ‘Anyone who used to be Turii and Amendola Greek citizens or slaves of Turii and Amendolara (because in a Greek city-state, a woman of the city-state cannot be a citizen, but she belongs to the people of the city-state), will automatically become a citizen of the Tua Union and a Tua Union people! They are not slaves of the status of Turii and Amendolara. If you are willing to stay in the Tua Union, you can apply to become a reserve citizen of the Tua Union after living for two years. After three years, if you meet the requirements, you can become a Tua Union reserve citizen. Official citizens! ‘Would you like to stay in Neutum, or go back to Turii?”

Most male slaves expressed their desire to return to Turii, but most women hesitated: because the Greek city-states of this era treated women Chastity requirements are very strict, not only before marriage, but especially after marriage, housewives can only stay in the house, can not go out of public places, must be as diligent and frugal as bees to manage housework, and even the design of the house also takes into account the prevention. It is possible for the wife to cheat, so the bedrooms of traditional Greek couples are on the second floor, and the only stair opening is at the entrance of the living room, so that both the master and the slaves can see the entry and exit of the housewife.

In order to prevent the husband from being bored with his wife and lingering in the brothel for a long time, leading to the resentment of the wife who lives alone in the boudoir, some city-states even stipulate the number of times that citizens have sex. For example, Solon of Athens stipulated in the Athenian law he advocated: ‘ Intercourse three times a month is enough care for a chaste citizen wife.

‘

Now a large number of Greek women who have been slaves of different races for a long time, some have children, some still have big bellies… How will they face the treatment of their families and the outside world when they return to Turii?

!

Every slave girl didn’t dare to think about it and face it…

At this moment, Asistes stood up and said aloud: “On the proposal of the life-long consul of the Tua Alliance – Lord Davos, and in the Senate A law was passed, ‘Any Lucanian who marries a Tua Union woman will automatically become a reserve citizen of the Tua Union, and after two years become a full citizen, with the right to allot the Union and two years of Exemption. Any Greek man who marries a Lucalia woman in the Tua Union and is willing to become a Tua Union citizen will automatically obtain preparatory citizenship, and will become a full citizen after two years, and will also enjoy the union allocation. land rights and a two-year tax exemption.’”

“…Is this true?” The female slaves couldn’t believe their ears, and someone asked boldly.

“Of course it’s true! Couples who get married according to what they said before can immediately go to the city hall of Niutum… No, the big chief’s residence to register!” Sesta said loudly with certainty.

These Greek slaves were like a rainy season, and they shed tears with excitement. They knew that as long as there was this law, as long as Niutum was always in the hands of the Tua League, they could live on this land with their heads held high. !

Lord Archon Davos is really a good person who thinks about them!

The Greek male slaves who were not citizens of the original Turii hesitated for a while, but also made a decision: compared with the long time it takes to become a full citizen in Turii, marrying a Lucalia woman can immediately enjoy many benefits, It seems more attractive!

However, Asistes could guess that the law would soon be announced in Turii and Amendolara, and it would be unknown how many freemen would come to Niutum to marry a Luna. Kania woman while robbing her head!

He looked at the execution ground where the corpses were piled up in hills and rivers of blood flowed, and he thought: At least the large number of widows in the city of Niutum will be taken care of.

……………………

The bloody scene Sesta created outside the city gate shocked all the Lucanians in the city, and the bereaved family cried softly in fear.

Even in the evening, when Bagul entertained a group of familiar Lucanians, such as Kesima and Uraza, they were still trembling.

“Sit down! Sit down! We are all old friends, all sit down!…” Bagule subconsciously imitated the look and tone of Davos when he entertained him before, but the guests didn’t seem so relaxed.

“Kesima, why haven’t I seen Abinu?” Bagul glanced at the crowd and asked.

“Abinu… He once had a quarrel with Udler’s son Damaru, and they killed him!” Kesima said sadly.

“Damn Utrell! Damn these big tribes who oppressed us! Where is this Damaru now?!” Bagul roared angrily.

“He’s dead! When he went to Turii last time, he died at the hands of the Greeks, like his father Utrell!” Uraza glanced at Asisters beside Bagule, gloating over the misfortune said.

“Hey, it’s a pity that I can’t avenge him myself! However, that’s fine, Abinu can rest assured to serve the mountain god!” Bagul sighed and regained his calm.

At this time, someone from the UU reading www.sonicmtl.com guests said: “Udler, Ram and the others oppressed us, wouldn’t the Greeks not oppress us?! They won’t massacre them like they did before. Are we?!”

“Yes! Yes! Today the Greeks killed more than 500 Lucanians who surrendered outside the city!”

“Soon they will kill us like cattle and sheep. !”

…

There was a commotion from the guests, loudly venting their dissatisfaction with the Greeks.

Only at this moment did Asisters feel the impact of the massacre outside the city on people’s hearts. He had to stand up and say, “Our Tua Alliance will never oppress you! We—”

“One can speak Lucaria. How can the Greeks join the Lucanian party?!!” A voice among the guests interrupted Asistes.

“Of course he can!” At this moment, Bagule didn’t wait for the guests to cause a commotion again, and immediately said: “He is the son-in-law of the Lucarians, my brother-in-law, Tina’s husband!”
