Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 230

[Chapter 28 The post-war Senate meeting (1)]

Subsequently, the Citizens Assembly held an election, and Lycias, who brought peace to Crotone, became the chief general. Although his practice of ceding the territory was criticized by many people, the more than 10,000 civic soldiers who returned to their hometown thanked him Saved them from hell in time, so most of the votes went to him, and the general also became the general and Thesprotis, who participated in the peace talks with Lycias.

[WWw.SuiMеng.lā For a time, the conservatives in Crotone’s General’s Executive Committee clearly had the upper hand.

But the immediate priority is to repel Lochry and rescue the Allies.

Crotone’s newly formed cabinet of ten generals is very clear. After careful consideration, they decided to appoint three captains with rich combat experience who had been captured by Dionia as expedition generals.

As a result, the soldiers who had just returned to Crotone had to go out again. The soldiers (including 10,000 heavy infantrymen), in addition to recruiting Yumin, prepared their rations and immediately set off for Corenia.

An objection was raised in the council, demanding that more citizens be left to protect the empty city of Crotone.

Lycias was conservative, but not cowardly. Not only did he not agree, he even sent an envoy to Aspurustum to tell the Dionysian garrison: Crotone is now empty in the city, and he hopes to get it if necessary. Allied bailout.

At the same time as receiving a clear response from Asistes, the Crotone fleet, led by Admiral Askamas, sailed to Corenia with large and small warships.

……….

_ Rees, Eurypsis, and Pleiades were all selected.

This event is just an appetizer for today’s long senate meeting, followed by a reward for the soldiers who took part in this Crotone war.

Because the number of people participating in the war was too large, the military officer Felixius and the household registration officer Raphias only determined a rough figure at the meeting: about the official citizens will get land ranging from mu to Davos according to their military exploits. The suggestion of the elders at the head is to allocate as much land as possible to the city where the citizens live. Of course, if the person voluntarily exchanges it, it should be satisfied;

the second is the free people who have participated in the war and are registered. Due to the victory of several consecutive battles, according to the law. It is stipulated that more than half of them will directly enter the inspection period of official citizens. Due to the large amount of land and two cities acquired by this war, a large number of people are urgently needed to occupy these lands and guard the new cities. Therefore, although the official citizens inspection period Before it was completed, the Senate still decided to grant them five acres of “slots” in Crimea, Asprostum, and the northern plains of Croton, because they had not yet become full citizens, so during this period of investigation , the tax paid is still land income, and it will not be reduced to 1% of the land tax until they become full citizens;

for nearly 6,000 freedmen who participated in the war,

their probation period to become reserve citizens will be halved, and priority will be given to them. Grant them the right to rent the land of the city-state, and of course the tax burden remains unchanged;

for the soldiers who died in the war, whether citizens or freemen, as long as their relatives are still alive, the senate will give them the rewards of normal soldiers, and also give them Generous pensions, mainly from the spoils.

The entire reward and distribution will be mainly completed by the agricultural officer Brooks and the household registration officer Raffias, with the assistance of the three army commanders Kapus, Drakes, and Hironimus.

“Citizens of Dionia called accordingly, performed their duties, and fought bravely for the alliance. The Senate, as the helm of the big ship of the alliance, we must also give them the corresponding praise and care fairly and justly, and we must not let our warriors bleed. At the same time, we have to cry! Only in this way can more people be encouraged to contribute more to the prosperity and strength of the alliance!…” Finally, Davos reminded Bulcos who were about to do something with a passionate speech.

The next discussion is about the candidates for the chief executive of Crimissa and Asprostom.

There are many veterans who signed up to run for Crimea, because it is a port city with good conditions and residents are all Greeks. Although it is adjacent to Crotone, it has become an alliance after all, and there is also Asporus. Tum is at the top, and the ruling environment is relatively safe.

The result of the final vote was that Scambrace received the highest number of votes, which surprised some people, but when you think about it carefully, although Scambrace is a violent temper, he is a quick talker, and he can correct his mistakes. He is scheming and willing to help the younger generation, so many people are happy to associate with him.

According to Dionian law, Davos has the final veto power of any proposal in the Senate, but he generally rarely uses this power as long as the proposed proposal is reasonable.

Just like now, he thinks that the choice of the chief executive of Crimea is not bad, and Scomblas’ straightforward and friendly personality may win the favor of the Crimeans who are also hostile to the Dionysians. .

So he was the first to congratulate Scambrace.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Consul. I will make sure that the Crimeans agree with the Dionysian Alliance as soon as possible, and at the same time coordinate the relationship between the locals and the new immigrants…” Scombras said to Diver in high spirits. Guarantee.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the over fifty-year-old Scomblas seized the two major problems that he needed to devote his energy to solve after serving as the chief executive of Crimea. Firth smiled and said: “With you in Crimesa, the Senate has nothing to worry about!”

As for the candidate for the chief executive of Asproustum City, because Davers had said beforehand: Asproustium Unlike Crimissa, it is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Neto River, and is harassed from time to time by the Brutians wandering from the southwest. From the south, it is necessary to be vigilant and deter other Greek city-states from coveting the northern plain of Croton. Coordinate with the Crotones.

In addition, Davos also told the elders: There are many Lucanian warriors willing to move to Aspurustum.

In this way, with the exception of the Lucaria region (including Neutum, of course), Asprustum has the highest percentage of Lucania residents among the Dionian Union cities.

Therefore, the requirements for the administrator of Asporustum are relatively high. First of all, he must have relatively strong military talents, some administrative experience, and strong coordination ability. At the same time, he can allow those who join Dio It didn’t take long for Nia, and the somewhat free-spirited Lucanians to obey.

For the elders of Amendolara and Turii, who had suffered the pain of the war, there was always an indelible fear in their hearts to let them deal with the war independently; On issues, Ai is proactive in making suggestions, but when it comes to the affairs of the Greek city-state, he is always calmly watching and acting as a voter; most of the mercenary elders are unwilling to deal with administrative affairs, or they are not capable, and those with stronger administrative abilities, such as Antonio Esther, Alexis and others held important public positions again and could not leave.

Therefore, when the rotating chairman Cornelus announced that those who would like to serve as the administrator of Aspurustum would raise their hands, no one responded for a while.

Davos was also a little surprised when he saw this, but a person’s name appeared in his mind – Asisters.

It’s just that Asisters is not a member of the Senate and cannot serve as the city administrator according to regulations. At this time, he realized that: before the promulgation of the “Dionian Union Public Service Law”, he did not become a member of the Senate and was a former mercenary member. It becomes difficult to re-enter the Senate and become a senior. For these guys who mostly only want to fight, it is undoubtedly impossible for them to re-invest in administrative affairs and move up level by level. It seems that it is necessary to add a few regulations to the “Public Service Law” specifically for the senior generals of the legion to enter the Senate…

Davos pondered, but saw a person in the crowd raised his hand-Heros, it turned out to be Dave His former captain and most powerful confidant, Hiros!

Some time ago, Davos was busy with affairs, and Hiros was the patrol captain of Amendolara. Apart from meeting in the Senate meeting, there were not many opportunities for the two to meet, but Davos still understood Hiros’ performance. A: With the prosperity of warehousing, accommodation and food under the city of Amendolara, a large influx of foreign population, UU reading www.

However, sonicmtl.com has never had a major conflict. The performance of Hiros is very important. His ability to deal with emergencies and the impartiality of coordinating and resolving conflicts between residents and outsiders have won the praise of the people of Amendolara and the chief executive of Cole. Nice review by Nerus.

As for his military talent, Davos’s evaluation of him is that he is good at using troops with dignity, which is just suitable for Asproustum, which is in a special geographical location. I believe that with his rich mercenary experience, it is not a big deal to convince those Lucanians question.

As for administrative experience… Davos thought about it for

a while: he could let Assistus stay in Asprostum for a while to help Hiros handle government affairs.

It is believed that with the serious learning attitude of Hiros, he will soon be able to govern independently.

After waiting for a while, Hiros was still the only one.

Cornerus reluctantly announced that the candidate for the chief executive of Aspurustum was Hiros.

“I agree with Hiros as the chief executive of Asporustum, he is the most suitable candidate!” Davers first expressed his support clearly.

Subsequently, Capps, Antonios and others also expressed their approval, and the candidate for the administrator of Aspurustum was determined.

Only Cornerus sighed: “Although I would love to congratulate Hiros, I have to express my regret for the loss of an excellent patrol captain in Amendolara!”
