Vol 7 Chapter 21: Memories of Meip's past (2)

He was very fortunate that he did not blindly follow some people to escape to Brindisi, but fled north to his hometown. Because within a few days, Brindisi fell.
Later, he heard that during the battle, the Daonians had more legions from both wings, and they returned to the sides of the Mesapi and Pucciti, while the Mepu coalition’s cavalry was also The two cavalry regiments defeated, and the Meppe coalition had no chance of winning from start to finish, and was almost completely annihilated.
It is said that at the end of the battle, the king of Tremeni shouted "Deverus of Dionia, can dare to fight against me?! Can you dare to fight against me?!..." led his elite guards to wear The flag of the king of Oia, the king of the army, was surrounded by the swarming soldiers of the Dionyrian army, and eventually all died.
When he heard the death of the king, Ellers did not sigh at all. He believed that the Petchi warriors who had experienced the great war could not afford the courage to fight the Dionyns.
In the next two years, the Pucciti people spent their time in horror, and because of who took over the new king, several important towns and tribes of Puchetti were arguing with each other, and even a small fight...
In the process, news came from the south from time to time.
"Manduria was captured by the Diaonians..."
"Uhentitum surrendered to Dionia..."
"Odrum was captured..."
"Udile was captured..."
......
Erems, who is already in his forties, knows that the Dionyns will soon embark on the territory of Pucciti, and it is impossible to stop the movement of the Dionyrian army with the chaos in the current Pucciti territory. The pace, even for a moment.
Sure enough, when the Dionysian army flocked to Pucciti, the Petchi, who claimed to be more fierce than the Mesapi, performed much worse than the Mesapi, and Blera fell. Silvium descended, Barium, Venusia fell, and finally Kanusian, where Eloms lived, fell...
In less than four months, the Dionyns completely conquered Pucciti, but this is also true, Puchetti has already died too many people.
Erems and other ethnic groups were in a complex mood watching the heavily armed Diaonia Army soldiers escorting the city's new controller into the city, and then the Dionyns gathered the Kanusian people to the square.
Agarcia is the name of the
Chenusian Chief Executive.
He is the first to comfort the Kanusian people who are present. Don’t be afraid, because they are already Dionysian citizens and will be protected by the laws of Dionia. Anyone dares to hurt them.
Then he began to read the new decree of the Kingdom of Dionia. The content of this decree still remembers: "...All Pucciti tribes in the Kanusian territory must be disbanded, every Kanu Xi'an people will have independent freedom. Except for the jurisdiction of the Dionyrian administration and the law of the Kingdom of Dionia, you will no longer be governed by other organizations. You will get the land that truly belongs to you. Only 1% of the tax burden is paid each year. Except for military service, no one will force you to do extra labor..."
At the time, Elmes was like everyone else, thinking that he had got it wrong.
But the next steps by the Dionys proved that they were not talking empty words. They sent a document to all the tribes in the Kanusian territory: first, let the tribes surrender the land they occupied and hand it over to the city hall for redistribution; It is for all ethnic groups to register with the municipality residence registration office.
Elems knew how much the official document caused a shock to the tribes in Kanusian. Within three days, there were six riots and riots in the Kanusian territory, but the toughened Dionysian army To quickly flatten out, a group of leading rioters and nobles were sent to the square to beheaded, for a few days, the killing of the people, the blood everywhere.
This situation is also played in another town of Pucci, this killing also kills the Puchiti's courage (because of the Dimenia's previous conquest of Mesapi, the Mesapi tribes The continual riots and riots made Davis and the Senate aware of the difference between the Mesapi and the Lucanias and the Brutus, and the strength of Dayonia is now enough for Davis. Bottom, let him make up his mind, no longer use the method of submerging and slowly disintegrating the indigenous tribes, but when they come up, they will quickly solve the problem and completely solve the problem of being farther away from the Greek culture than the fierce Meshapi people. The Puchiti who ruled by Onia).
Apparently, Davers overestimated the fictitiousness of the Puchettis and soon after the riots, the leaders of the Pucciti tribes rushed to the city hall to be loyal, including the tribal leader of the Erems.
A few days later, the Erems family, who had registered as a citizen of Dionya, was assigned to a new land. For Elmes, who had lived in the tribe for the first half of his life, he felt both awkward and a little excited: he was amazed and helpless because he suddenly lost the tribe's dependence; the excitement was out of the tribal constraints. Elms has a feeling of being free.
Although as a tribal warrior, he originally had land, but the land he regained only had to pay a small tax burden every year, and the next three years were tax-free.
The "three-year tax-free" bill has made the Petchi people on the new land less dissatisfied with Dionynia.
Under the rule of Dionia, more than two years have elapsed. The city of Kanusian has changed a lot. I am afraid that only the Temple of Leicaon is still standing in the city. Many people still go to worship every year. But this number is decreasing, and more and more people are beginning to believe in Pluto from Greece, and his temple is not far from the Temple of Leicaon. Because the priests of the Temple of Hades can treat the sick for free, and the medical skills are good, the believers who are in trouble are also actively helping them. They are too affable compared to the higher priests of the Lykaon temple.
The young people of Kanusian loved the football and football games invented by the Diaonians, including his children. In the slack season, they play from morning to night in the open space outside the city and outside the city. In order to play these games, they also actively learn Greek because their coaches are all from the Diaonian across the Gulf of Taranto. .
These Dionyns were recruits of the Legion who had conquered Mesapi and Puchetti in these years. Their Senate gave them a share in Kanusian. They settled down and were excluded and contradicted from the very beginning. Even disputes and conflicts have occurred, and the situation has gradually opened up, and it has gradually begun to be accepted by the Pucciti people. The first is the ball sports that are popular in the South, followed by military training.
Under the compulsory decree of the City Hall, Puchetti’s young men must participate in military training, and they are trained to fight with them, and these new Dionian soldiers are also killed. This seven days and one training training breeds.
For Elems, the most attractive thing for him is the food of Dionia. In the past two years, Elems has had a bumper harvest on the farmland of the River Ovento. Since he has no taxes, he will take the rest of the grain to the market in the city for sale. He will also keep the sheep for the year. A few were sold to the city's Klystoa restaurant, and the price was not low.
For this reason, Eymes, who has money, is often taken to the Klystoa restaurant by his former comrades to gather, drinking cool beer, eating food, recalling the joy of fighting in the past, complaining about today’s various kinds of things. Change, let them enjoy it. In fact, in their hearts, it is admitted that today's comfortable life is much better than two years ago.
Just as they drank a little wine, glared at Dionya, and lived in the future, a message shook the calm and calm city of Kanusian: Deonia declared war on the Dani!
The Pucciti people are happy to play the Dao, after all, they are the deadly enemies of the past few decades. Elems, who has just passed the two-year birthday, is like the old Petchi, and he is worried about this war. It will cause the Puchiti people who have experienced many wars and caused a sharp drop in population to bleed again.
It turns out that they think more.
When the mighty army marched from the south and built a huge military camp not far from the city of Kanusian, Erems knew that there was no Puchetti thing in the next war.
The Pucciti people were somewhat unhappy. Some young people ran to the town hall or the training camp outside the city to protest ~EbookFREE.me~ to participate in the war against the Dani. Some people, such as Elems, set up a temporary market near the military camp under the organization of the City Hall to sell the daily needs of the soldiers. In the past, the Kanusian people who had been brave enough to start to have a business sense, perhaps this is the biggest change in their minds in the past two years like Eames.
The booth of Elems is near the entrance of the temporary market. This is a good location. It depends on him to get up early this morning. Just when he was thinking about it, there was a shock in the military camp there. Cheering in the ear, Elimston's spirit is alive: According to yesterday's experience, this should be the end of the training of the soldiers.
Suddenly, the stall vendors in the entire market immediately stopped chatting and strolling, and were busy putting the goods to be sold neatly on the stalls, grapes, olives, boiled beef and mutton, pulp, bread, salted fish, Cloth, ironware...
When Elems and his wife just put things in place, they saw a group of soldiers rushing into the market.
"Adoris, this is the very good pulp shop I told you." Several soldiers stood in front of the booth in Elems, surrounded by a youth of about eighteen or nine years old.
The young man listened to this and looked at the booth and immediately said, "Give me a cup."
