Vol 9 Chapter 82: Contract negotiation conflict

In the evening two days later, the Royal Palace of Dionynia held a grand dinner. In addition to King Daphes and Xenophon, there were also Hilos, Alexis, Amintas, Philius, Agassia, Tolmed, Capps, Antonios, Epidnis, Matonis, Olivers, Geogris ... Even Princess Christosia also attended the banquet.
At the banquet, everyone recalled their adventures in Persia, and thanked the mercenary leaders such as Daphes and Xenophon for finally taking them away from the danger and toasting them one after another. The scene was quite warm.
Others lamented the wealthy life they enjoyed today, and regretted the wrong choices made by Kriano, Tima Song, and Xenophon.
Of course, some people also persuaded Xenophon to leave Sparta, to settle in Dionysia, to enjoy the rest of his life with his former comrades, and to be perverted by Xenophon.
At the end of the banquet and Xenophon toasting to Daphes, he used the spirit of the wine and asked boldly: "Now Dionysia is so powerful, why did he behave in the face of Sparta's early end of the friendly agreement? So forgiving? "
Daveus narrowed his eyes and calmly told the story: "A few years ago, Mauritania sent the kingdom a few elephants to show its respect, and the captive hounds in the palace were afraid because of the fear. , Barking at his dog from afar, but the elephant has been very quiet, treating it like nothing. After a while, the hound will not bark, and the two sides will be safe ... "
Xenophon visited the zoo these past two days and knew how big the body of the elephant was. After listening, it was silent for a while.
After the Spartan mission quickly returned to Sparta, the elders and the inspectors were relieved after learning that King Dionia had calmly accepted the "Spartan end of the friendly agreement" without any intention of disciplinary action. .
It's just that Xenophon gave a detailed account of his experience in the Kingdom of Dionysia when he visited Agassius, and solemnly reminded: "Although Dionysia is not malicious towards Sparta, it is best It is still necessary to re-sign the contract with Dionia as soon as possible and restore friendship! "
This is an obvious question, but Agassius thought for a while, and said solemnly: "You are right, our peace talks with Thebes and Athens must be held as soon as possible, and the contract must be signed as soon as possible. Bada has the confidence to negotiate with Dionia. "
……………………………………
In the spring of 371 BC (Twenty-three years of the Dionysian Kingdom), the Thebes War, which lasted for many years, finally ushered in the dawn of peace. With the support of Persia, the two sides of the war will conduct peace talks at the Spartan city.
Since it was Sparta ’s home ground, the main city-states of the Peloponnesian League sent envoys to participate in this peace talk, and they arrived at the venue as early as possible. Immediately following was the delegation of Athens, the chief general of Athens, Calisstratus, as the main person in charge, and his assistant was Calius, the torch bearer of Eleusis Smith. The final arrival was the Thebes Envoy, headed by Ipamironda. In addition, Persia also sent messengers to participate in this meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Athens went to Sparta. Kaliyas and Kalistratus accused the Spartans of arbitrariness and oppression of the allies. They were the culprits leading to this war, and at the same time they pointed out the war The harm caused to the Greek city-states resonated with the envoys of the city-states present.
However, Agassius and Achimdams who Spartan attended the meeting seemed to feel reasonable about this, and neither immediately refuted. Therefore, all the messengers present quickly reached a consensus: stop the war.
It seems that the Athenians still stand on the side of Thebes against the Spartans, but in fact through the contact between Tamakolas and Lutikli in Persia, the two sides have secretly reached a certain tacit agreement. So, in the following discussion on the signing of the contract, this tacit understanding was revealed.
Both Athens and Sparta declared that according to Persian recommendations, the foundation of peace is still the principle established in the 'Contract of Kings', that is, all city-states must withdraw the troops (whether army or navy) stationed in other states, Any alliance must be disbanded so that all Greek city-states remain independent.
In this way, there is a big problem, which is also a problem that could not be solved after the end of the Corinth War and the signing of the "Contract of the King": the League of Athens and the League of Peloponnese do not meet the regulations and should be dissolved.
So Ipamironda, who had been watching the performances of the Athenians before, immediately pointed out the problem loudly.
Unexpectedly, Athens and the Spartans were already prepared, and Calisstratus immediately admitted that there was indeed something wrong with the original "King's Contract". He believed that it should be amended to change the clause to: No city-state should be forced Become a member of the alliance, but different city-states can cooperate with each other according to their wishes, but no treaty may be made to make mandatory provisions.
Agsilaus immediately agreed with this, he thinks such a modification is more reasonable and more acceptable to various city-states.
The other Peloponnesian city-state messengers have also expressed their approval, and with the support of the Persian messengers, the terms of the contract have been determined, and they will wait for the oath to sign the contract.
The messengers of the Peloponnesian city-states scrambled to sign the names of the city-states. Athens and Sparta also signed, and finally it was the turn of the messengers of Thebes, and everyone's eyes focused on them.
Ipa Milunda stood up with a condensed face, solemnly taking an oath in the name of Zeus, then took the pen and wrote the name on the oath.
Most of the people in the field were relieved, but they heard Agassius say in a deep voice: "Thebes, you signed the wrong name.
Ipamironda said very firmly: "I have confirmed it, there is no wrong sign!"
At this time, the other talents in the meeting felt that the situation was wrong, and they scrambled to take a vow to see. It was clearly written on it: Piosia, Ipa Milunda.
Agsilaus said angrily: "Ipamironda, are you fooling us? Everyone knows that Pioxia is a region, Thebes is just a city-state in this region, what's the matter? Right to sign on behalf of all city-states in the Pioxia region! "
Ipamironda was not afraid. He looked at Agsilaus and said without hesitation: "What's so strange, you can think of Pioxia as Laconia (Lagoni Ya is the area where the Spartans live), or— "
Ipamironda turned to look at Caristratus again and said very powerfully: "Attica, not the Peloponnesian League, or the Athenian Maritime League!"
As soon as these words came out, the messengers of the other city-states in the venue were shocked: the ambitions of Thebes were unequivocal, they wanted to unify Pioxia!
Karistratus immediately retorted: "When the Greeks talk about Athens, it means not just the city of Athens, but the entire Attica area; when the Greeks talk about Sparta, they also mean The entire Laconia region; but when people talk about Thebes, do they refer to the entire Pioxia? Obviously, they refer to the city-state of Thebes.
Why is this happening? That is because Athens and Sparta have integrated a region into a long time ago, and after a long time, other Greeks have agreed with this. Unfortunately, they could not agree that Thebes represented Pioxia, because many city-states in Piosia are still independent. "
Agsilaus said immediately, "According to this pledge, Thebes must dissolve your newly established Pioxia Alliance, so that each Pioxia city state under your control will be independent and free!"
Ipa Milunda's unswerving words lifted Agassius back: "If you Sparta allow every town in Laconia to be independent, then our Pioxia Union will be dissolved!"
Then, he looked at Agassius and Calistratus with a determined expression, and said with a tough speech: "You Spartans have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Pioxia, just like our Debbie Sis has no right to interfere in the internal management of Laconia; Laconia, Piosia and Attica represent distinctly different regimes, and under the testimony of Zeus, each regime is justified; The formation of the alliance between Osha and the development of Attica into a city is a natural thing. This process has the same legitimacy as the development of Lagonia into an oligarchic government affiliated with Sparta— "
The son of Agassius interrupted him aloud: "You are talking nonsense! You Thebys just want to continue the war ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to attack other Pio Xia Chengbang, depriving them of their independence and freedom, this is never allowed! "
Ipamironda sneered: "Don't you Spartans do this before! Shamelessly captured our city and dispatched garrisons and officers in other Pioxia city states to deprive them of their independence and freedom, precisely because Your aggression, we Pioxia talents realized that we must unite together to guarantee the freedom of our Pioxia people! "
Achimdams was temporarily speechless.
Ipamironda followed righteously and said to Agassius: "For this Pioxia League, we Thebes did take some strong measures, but you Spartan have no right to interfere, because no one can In the ancient times of accurate timekeeping, your ancestors took stronger and high-pressure measures, and the country you maintain was established by them in this tough way.
Now the friendly allies of Thebes and Pioxia have decided to adopt the same method as your Sparta, to establish a united and unified Pioxia alliance that includes all Pioxia city states, in order to achieve this great Goal, our citizens will not be afraid of death! "
