In the afternoon, Davos convened an emergency meeting of the Amendolara Senate, and invited Kuno Gorata, as well as Ancitanos, Burkos and more than a dozen famous and prestigious citizens of Turii to participate. There are even Plessinas, Polyxis.
Asistes was puzzled and asked, "My lord, why did you let the dishonest and cheeky villain Plessinas participate?"
Davos said seriously: "For us, Plessinas is an unfaithful villain. For Turii, he is a patriot who does not hesitate to destroy his own honor for the benefit of the city-state. For such a We should respect them!"
"And what about this Polyxis? He's a deserter!"
Davers did not answer. He asked Kunogorata, despite Kunogorata's betrayal by Neonsis and Polyxis, he still advised Davos to invite Polyxis to the meeting on a case by case basis, because the Polyxis family was in the map Rie's Pioxia immigrants have always been very appealing.
Since the Amendoraras came to rescue the people of Turii, Plessinas has been uneasy, and even wanted to leave Turii and emigrate to other city-states. When Amendolara's messengers found him and offered him an invitation, he would still be suspicious. The messenger relayed what Davos had said to him, and Plessinus actually shed tears: You must know that Turui, who has been taken care of by the Amendolaras for the past two days, feels guilty, and instead complains that it is Plessing. Nas was the first to destroy Turiyi's friendship with Amendolara, and even his relatives were alienating him. Davers' affirmation of him made him very grateful.
At the same time, the invitation to Plessinas also allowed the Turians to see Amendolara's attitude of letting go of the past, which relieved many Turians who had worked hard to oppose Amendolara.
At that time, because of the poor conditions, the meeting was held on the grass, and everyone sat on the ground in a circle, surrounded by guards.
At the meeting, Davos proposed: the establishment of the Turii-Amendolara alliance, the citizens of the two cities share a consul and a senate, and invite the Turians present, including Kunogorata, to join the senate , become a member of the Senate of this new alliance.
This proposal was negotiated by Davos with the elders of Amendolara in advance, and these people in Turui are themselves weak and rely heavily on Amendolara's assistance and protection, plus they can become elders. Court elders, why not do it
The news quickly reached the people of Turii, and the vast majority of them cheered. Mainly because if this alliance is established, they can accept the aid of Amendolara and the protection of the powerful Amendolara soldiers with peace of mind! Don't worry about betrayal, don't worry about being abandoned, because they have become a family!
The cheers returned to the ears of the new elders of Turii who were in the meeting, and their last concerns disappeared.
Then, Davos said: Since Turii and Amendolara have become one family, the laws of Amendolara also apply to Turii, and the rights and obligations enjoyed by the Amendolara people are also the same. Applies to Turii citizens.
Davers' proposal was passed with a high vote, except for a few Turii elders who disagreed slightly with the bill that "citizens who own land should pay an annual land tax of 1 percent".
Then, Davos proposed: Fulfill the previous promise and give freedom to the slaves who participated in the battle with the Lucania coalition. For the freedmen who participated in the battle with the allied forces of Lucania, and who did not betray Turii and joined the army of Crotone, made them reserve citizens of the new alliance. The leader of the freedmen who caused the rebellion and led to the fall of Turii shall be put to death by the people of Turii!
The proposal was passed without controversy. Because through the burning of the city of Turii, the Turii people also made a profound reflection, and they realized that it was precisely because Turii broke his promise and mishandled freedmen and slaves that was the main reason for the disaster. one.
Plessinas was slightly embarrassed after hearing Davos' proposal. Unexpectedly, Davers proposed: Let Plessinas be in charge of the execution. This was a good opportunity for Plessinas to cleanse himself, and he was once again grateful to Davos.
In fact, most of the free people who participated in the battle of Lucaria participated in the rebellion, and followed the Crotone troops to transport the spoils, ready to go to Crotone, but were captured by the Amendolara Legion. The slaves lost control because of the fall of Turi. Most of the miner slaves fled into the deep mountains. Most of the slaves in the rest of the city chose to stay, because instead of escaping elsewhere, they still became slaves in most cases. Captured, the situation is even worse, it is better to follow the familiar master, except that there is no freedom, life is decent. There are very few freedmen and slaves who really meet the conditions of the bill, but for the freedmen and slaves who are still lingering beside the ruins of Turii and have not left, it is undoubtedly a great news. Because they believed that the rumored consul did have a favorable impression of freedmen and slaves, and he was also a lifelong consul, which meant that they would have more opportunities to be free and become full citizens in the future.
By stabilizing the sentiments of the freedmen and slaves, and inspiring their enthusiasm for the new alliance, the safety of the Turii was assured, as they were far outnumbered by the population of the Turii.
The first senate meeting of the Turii-Amendola Union was effective, proposals to help the rebuilding of Turii were passed, and the Kunogora Tower, proposed by Davos, with high Voted to be the governor of the city of Turiyi, among which he won the unanimous vote of the elders of Turiyi. The main reason is that Kunogolata did his best to help the people of Turii regardless of previous suspicions, which made them feel guilty. In addition, the shrewd elders of Turui knew that the political situation in the future would be dominated by the Amendolaras for a long time. , then Kuno Gorata can be valued by Davos, and they must make efforts to make Kuno Gorata speak for the Turui people.
Since the two cities are not far apart, except for the public office of the city administrator, which is shared by the two cities, the other public offices are shared. According to needs, there are deputies or assistants assigned to each city to perform their duties.
At the same time, a Turiyi Reconstruction Committee was also established, led by Davos and supplemented by two city administrators, Cornerus and Kunogolata, to lead the reconstruction of the entire Turiyi.
Finally, Burkos asked the question that the Turians feared: "What if the Crotones attack again?"
Davos didn't change his expression and said with a smile: "I think the military officer can answer this question."
Felixius stood up in response and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let me briefly introduce the results of our army this time. We dispatched a total of 4,895 soldiers, wiped out about 6,000 people and captured them. Nine thousand people (this is a very high casualty rate, on average one Amendolara soldier destroys more than one enemy. According to a normal battle, no matter how strong the fighting strength of Amendolara soldiers is, this situation is impossible. It was only because it was a sneak attack that the Crotones suffered such high casualties under special circumstances such as drunkenness, deep sleep, no armor, and no weapons), while only seventy-two citizens on our side were killed and two hundred were injured."
As soon as these words came out, the Turii elders were stunned.
Felixius continued: "Of these 9,000 captives, there were about 5,000 in Crotone (mainly because when Crotone set up the camp, the soldiers of other city-states were arranged on the periphery)." S glanced at Davos: "We can use these prisoners to force Crotone to negotiate peace with us. If the peace negotiation fails, I think that although Turiyi was destroyed by fire, the city walls are built of stone, and most of them are in good condition. We Large numbers of people could be organized to quickly repair the walls, defend against Crotone's attack, and at the same time seek assistance from Tarantum."
"Will Tarantum help us?" Burkes wondered, knowing that Turiyi had also tried before, and Tarantum sent a messenger symbolically, and after the failure of persuasion, there was no movement. .
"When Crotone's strength is greatly damaged, not only will Tarantum help us, but Lokri will also be able to take action!" Kunogorata, who is familiar with the situation of the great Greek city-state, said: "Government Lord Guan, we should organize manpower now, build the city wall first, and try to ally with Tarantum immediately!"
"We are allies with Tarantum!" Amintas said abruptly.
"That's different. The one who signed with Tarantum was Amendolara, and now Amendolara has become the Turii-Amendolara alliance." Antonios explained to him in a low voice.
Amyntas shook his head embarrassedly.
"Lord Kunogorata, you reminded me that we really need Tarantum's assistance now!" Davos said so, in his heart he did not think Tarantum's assistance was necessary, but It is important to understand Tarantum's attitude. Because Amendolara was originally an inconspicuous ally of Tarantum, suddenly it became a two-city alliance, and its strength increased sharply. What would Tarantum think? Kuno Gorata is reminding himself! Therefore, Davos gave him a thankful look.
… … … …
Marigi and Ancitanos were ordered to the senate in Tarantum.
When the consuls and elders of Tarantum learned that Amendolara had defeated Crotone's army, they could hardly believe their ears. Tens of thousands of Crotone soldiers were wiped out and captured in a single morning, not fanatical but undisciplined, ferocious but unsustainable Lucanians, but actual Greek civic soldiers, and still How does this not shock the Tarantums, the civic army of Crotone, known for its movement and strength!
Volume 4 is coming!
