Vol 9 Chapter 56: Thessaly in action

To show his sincerity, Jason also stopped the siege and led the army back to Philae.
Fasalus faced a difficult choice, and finally they decided to make the final effort, sending Polidamas to Sparta for help.
At the Spartan Council of Elders, Polidamas told the Spartan elders and prosecutors in detail, and he also reminded: "If you Spartan decide to rescue us Sally, it ’s best to send your most elite troops, because if you only send an army composed of ordinary officers as commanders, mainly composed of released black soldiers, then it ’s best not to act rashly! A strong army, and he is a smart, capable and visionary general. The battle he has commanded has never failed, so he will be a strong enemy of Sparta! "
Polidamas ’s speech ended, and the Spartans did not immediately make a decision on it, but they clearly attracted attention to it, and in the following period, they specially sent people to Thessaly to understand the situation and at the same time The number of overseas troops has been carefully counted.
Finally, the Council of Elders gave Polidamas a clear reply: "Dear Polidamas, our main Spartan forces are either at war with the Athenian Navy or at the same time as the Thebes, So for the time being we ca n’t provide enough reinforcements for your Fasalus. However, we hope that the Cesari allies headed by Fasalus will not easily surrender to Jason, as long as you can always resist the Philae army The invasion, as soon as our war with Thebes is over, will immediately send a strong reinforcement to support! "
When Polidamas came to Sparta, he saw that there were few people in his territory, and he expected something in his heart. So after receiving a definite reply from the Council of Elders, he did not show any negative emotions such as surprise and disappointment. He was calm. Thanked the Spartans for their frankness, and then set off for their homeland.
As soon as he returned to Fasarus, he demanded that a civic conference be held immediately and tell everyone about Sparta ’s decision.
Disappointed and disappointed citizens of Fasarus, after intensive discussion, finally made a decision.
Polidamas once again acted as an emissary, sent Philae, met with Jason, and stated to him: "As long as Jason makes a promise, it will not harm the people of Fasarus and will not occupy the land of Fazarus, Without destroying the Acropolis of Fasalus, the Fasalus are willing to be a sincere ally of Jason and help him establish the rule of Tagus ... "
After listening to it, Jason made a great rejoicing and immediately made an oath with Polidamas.
Subsequently, Polidamas even sent his son to Jason as a hostage.
Soon after, the Fasarus headed by Polidamas persuaded the allies close to them, and in the spring of 374 BC (the Kingdom of Dionysia 19) the messengers of the cities of Cesare gathered in Fassa Ruth, jointly promoted Jason to Tagus, the Cessari.
After Yasong became Tagus, he began to unite the Cesare city-states. While promising not to interfere in the internal affairs of the rest of the Cesare city-states, he also formulated a new Tagus law: no war between the city-states, there are Contradictions and disputes must be referred to him for consultation and ruling; each city-state must not sign any agreement or join any alliance with other city-states, and all foreign affairs are for him to decide; each city-state must pay tribute on time every year, and the amount paid will be determined by him according to each The state ’s financial resources determine; each city-state must provide a certain number of cavalry and heavy infantry. The specific amount is determined by him according to the strength of each state. Usually he will regularly train these soldiers and lead them out in wartime ...
In addition, he also adopted the opinion of Polidamas, unified and reduced the commercial tax between the city-states, allowing the free circulation of commodities, which greatly strengthened the economic links between the Cesare city-states, making the inland Trade gradually became prosperous.
By the end of the year, Jason had recruited more than 8,000 cavalry and heavy infantry from the entire Sassari territory, and the number of light shield soldiers was equivalent to 20,000. After further strengthening his strength, he immediately issued instructions to the various races and tribes in the mountains surrounding Sesali, requesting them to be determined by the Cesars ’Tagus-Skopas during the Hippo War decades ago. The amount paid is tribute, if there are non-payers, he will be crusaded by his army.
Some tribes feared the terrible strength of Yiasong and chose to succumb, while some unruly tribes refused his request.
As a result, Jason decisively led the army to fight against it, which caused a fire in Northern Greece.
………………………………………
At the same time that Jason was elected to Cesaritagus, the Athenians faced a dilemma: on the one hand, they saw their former enemy, the neighbor Nebis, with their help, their wings grew stronger and their strength continued to increase. However, he still refused to pay tribute money to help maintain the expenditure of the Athens fleet; on the other hand, Athens' own finances were stretched by various military expenditures. Of course, even so, Athens citizens were reluctant to reduce the subsidies for watching opera.
So, on the proposal of Chief General Kalistratus and others, the Civic Assembly passed a resolution: to reconcile with Sparta alone.
Soon Athens sent messengers to Sparta.
Sparta is desperately seeking: In recent years, their army has been fighting in the territory of Pioxia. Although it has achieved some small victories, it has failed to defeat Thebes, which has caused Thebes to become stronger and stronger. Spartan's prestige is declining year by year, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to fight against it. The Athenian navy caused Sparta a headache. Not only could they not fight against it, but they could not stop the Athenian navy from wandering in the Peloponnese as if they were wandering in their back garden, attacking the Spartan allies indiscriminately and seriously threatening them. To the rear of Sparta.
Therefore, the armistice agreement between Sparta and Athens was soon signed.
The admiral Timothy of Athens, who was on the battlefield, was informed by the General Executive Committee to prepare to lead the fleet back to Athens. However, on the way back, he unauthorizedly landed on Zakynthos Island, took control of the island-state city state, and announced that the city-state deportees were allowed to return to their homeland. The support of the Spartans expelled the democrats).
After receiving the news, Sparta believed that Athens had violated the armistice agreement, so it called on the allies to jointly fund a fleet to protect the rights and interests of all allies in this sea area.
At the same time, Sparta also asked the new commander to lead the fleet and launch an expedition against Corfu.
The attacked Kekkila hurried to Athens for help.
Athens cannot allow Corfu, who has just joined the Maritime League, to be bullied by the Spartans, otherwise Athens, as the leader of the Maritime League, will inevitably lose the trust of the allies. What's more, Corfu's geographical location is unique, controlling the Corinthian Gulf and the various city-states along the southern coast of Corfu, which is the best base for invading Peloponnese from the west. At the same time, this is also a necessary place for important trade routes in the Western Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean, so it must not be given up.
For various reasons, this time the citizens of Athens did not elect Timothy as the fleet commander, but chose one of the generals of Athens, Iphicrates.
As a result, the armistice agreement between Athens and Sparta lasted less than a few months, and war broke out again.

There is constant fighting on the east side of the Adriatic Sea, and a peaceful and prosperous scene on the west side.
After entering September, after enjoying the joy of the harvest, the people of Dionysia are looking forward to the Hades celebrations that will come soon. Every day, thousands of people flock to the largest city in the Western Mediterranean Turiri, let the center of the Kingdom of Dionysia be noisy and full of joy every day.
It was in such a lively, suffocating joyous atmosphere that Okritown entered Turiine.
Since the Western Mediterranean War, he has not sent a mission to Dionyssia. This time he came to Turriy because the Dionysian sent an invitation, asking Carthage to send an envoy to participate, and the Hanoist There was something important to discuss with Dionia, so he forced the appointment of Okriton, who was familiar with Dionya, to attend the Hades celebration.
Although, in the past, Okritun had negotiated on behalf of Carthage with Dionia on many occasions, in fact he never passed Turi, and this large city of hundreds of thousands of people shocked him more than he had originally. Turi is still bigger, after all, the number of migrants in the city during the celebration is far greater than usual.
He stood on the bow ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Looking at the busy scene without digital heads on both sides of the Krati River, he couldn't help but wonder: if Carthage won in that war, would Carthage be Is this the same thing? !
But the facts cannot be changed. I think it ’s nothing more than annoyance, and the more prosperous Turiri is, the more powerful the Kingdom of Dionysia is. This will undoubtedly add a lot of difficulty to the subsequent negotiations ... Ridon frowned and fell into thought.
Sailing into the city of Turijine, but stopped outside the pier, because many ships are already docked in the pier and are busy unloading, there is no extra trestle for the time being, so there are some passenger ships lined up and growing at the pier Waiting outside, and Carthage ’s passenger ship came last, only last.
The entourage next to Okreton took a boat and went ashore to explore a circle. After returning, he reported: "My lord, I inquired clearly. It is the Etruscan fleet that is unloading now. They came with 20 ships. I heard that most of the ships are loaded with bronze utensils, blankets, cloths, gold and silver products, olive oil, wine and other items. I heard several Iberian crew bragging at the pier, their alliance even for King Dionia Created a golden crown with many gems on it ... "
