Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - v9 Chapter 247： Post-war governance

The pen he was writing quickly stopped, and Hernipolis took a breath: erecting a statue in front of the administrative building is already a great honor. Since the establishment of Dionia, only Merses has this honor. , And it was erected after his death; the reason why Dionia was able to rise rapidly within a few decades mainly relied on a powerful military. The shining generals of the stars are the pillars that support this powerful force, but There has never been a naming of a legion or fleet after a person’s name. If the First Fleet can finally be named, Sekrian will undoubtedly be the first person in the Dionian army. Even if he is killed immediately, perhaps he will be happy. Accept it…

When Hernipolis was distracted, Daves’ words continued: “Midolades was appointed as the temporary commander of the First Fleet, Stefacas was the commander of the Second Fleet in the war, and the First Fleet was the first. The squadron commander Lamarcas has made outstanding achievements. This time he assisted Sekerian to defend against the offensive of the Persian fleet. He was specially appointed as the commander of the Third Fleet during the war. Midolades fully commanded the three fleets and continued to advance. Suppress the Persian fleet, completely control the sea dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean, ensure the transportation safety of the fleet, and provide assistance for the army to attack Persia!”

Hernipolis kept handwriting, but he thought in his heart: Said that it was a temporary takeover, but it made Sekerian and the crew of the First Fleet feel better. I am afraid that His Majesty does not think that Sekerian can be cured. The promotion of Lamarcas in the First Fleet should make the crew of the First Fleet feel better.

“Write to Alexis and let him inform the troops to prepare for the attack! Write to the chief executive of Naukratis and let him arrange the transport fleet, ready to set off east at any time!”

Daves stared at the ostriches running through the bushes in front of him. After a while, he turned around and looked down at Hernipolis and said loudly, “Heni, are you ready? We are going to Persia!”

Hernipolis immediately said excitedly: “Your Majesty, I have long been looking forward to this day. The most brilliant chapter in my biography is there!”

His left hand pointed strongly to the east.

……………………………………………………

In March, after the news of the Greek coalition defeating the Persian and Asia Minor army in Misia spread, it caused a huge shock to the people of western Asia Minor. Many towns that were in the wait-and-see state before broke out in riots, drove the local Persian garrison, and publicly announced their support for Dionia .

While Leotichides accepted their surrender, he asked them to provide food and supplies. At the same time, after letting the troops rest for a while, he soon advanced to Frisia, the base camp of the Persian army.

The Persian Asia Minor army was originally an improvised army. After the defeat, some troops in low morale refused to continue fighting, and some even led the remnants to return to their areas without asking Fanabazos for instructions.

Facing the rapid approach of the Greek coalition forces, Phanabazos, whose strength has decreased dramatically, did not try his best to defend himself. Instead, after his colleagues conspired, he arrested Jason as a traitor.

Jason, who finally escaped to Phrygia, was put to death before he could argue. In the battle report written to the king of Persia, Phanabazos argued that he had been hired by the only important Greek in the battle with the Greek coalition forces. The army’s sudden rebellion was the main reason for the defeat of the battle.

The Persian commanders and generals used Jason as a scapegoat and wanted to escape the guilt of defeat, but they made the Greek mercenaries who returned from the defeat panic. Several mercenary team officers called “General Jason to avenge” The flag launched a rebellion under the banner of the Greeks, although it confirmed the unreliable accusation of the Greek mercenaries, but caused the situation in Phrygia to lose control completely, causing Fana Bazos to lead the remnant army to continue to retreat in haste.

The Greek coalition forces successfully occupied Gerdium, the center of Phrygia. Leotichides did not continue to pursue eastward and deep inland. Instead, after raising a lot of supplies locally, he left a garrison and the main force turned around. Heading south, the front of the troops directed at Lydia and encountered no effective resistance along the way. By the end of May, the Greek coalition forces quickly entered the area around Thades, the important town of Lydia.

The Leotich-style rapid march thwarted the attempts of the Persian garrison in the area to transfer the wealth of the area, and the powerful military of the Greek coalition also frightened Thadder’s defenders. They took the initiative to surrender the city.

The Greek coalition forces did not continue to attack after occupying Thades, but repaired the area. At the same time, Leotichides was also waiting for the arrival of the man he had requested from King Davos.

In early June, Leotichides led the generals of the coalition forces and some officials of the original Lydia out of the city to greet the Diorian envoy.

Dionian messenger is not one, but a group of people. The leader was an old man. Although he was gray-haired and old-fashioned, he looked resolute, and his actions were quite majestic.

“Master Proseus, I’m really sorry, I’m a little late!” Knowing Leotichides’s withdrawn character, the old man proactively said after seeing him: “Two months ago, I took it. To your majesty’s order, come to Asia Minor to take over the area you have conquered. However, it took some time to wait for a group of officials sent here to be selected by the Royal Palace Administration Office. We were planning to land in Ilion, but we heard You have captured Geldium and are marching south, so we diverted and landed in Eritrea (a seaside Greek city-state east of Caios, and fell to Dionia after the Greek coalition defeated the Persian army), Hurry up all the way. Although I have encountered a little trouble, I finally saw you in time…”

After listening to Leotichides, he just said dryly: “Thanks, Asia Minor is indeed a vast territory, and marching here is far more time-consuming than in Italy or Greece—”

Staff Officer Muklu quickly said: “Master Capus, we have long been looking forward to your arrival! With you in the rear, the Greek coalition forces will have no worries about the future, and you can rest assured and boldly continue eastward!”

Kapus was originally a person who didn’t like to talk much, but after serving as the district chief for many years, he has changed a lot. In addition, he is old and has a more peaceful mind. Facing such occasions, he is humble. “I’m a newcomer and I’m completely unfamiliar with everything here. I need some time to be familiar with it. I also need your help and support. But I can assure you that the officials behind me and I have come here not far away. , Not to enjoy, but to follow your Majesty’s instructions, do your best to ensure the stability of the conquered area, and do your best to ensure your logistics supply, so that you can attack Persia with all your strength! Because defeating Persia is our common wish, you say Right?”

The last question is what Capps said to the administrative officials who followed him.

“Master Capus is right. Defeating Persia is the common wish of our Dionia and allies!” The officials responded in unison.

Leotichides gave a rare smile and said, “Master Capus, please let me introduce you to you-this is the military commander of the Piotsia Alliance, Ipamironda.”

“But General Ipamirunda who commanded the Thebes to defeat Sparta in the Battle of Leuktra?! Alas, it’s an honor to see you!”

“I heard that Master Capus was the hero of the Persian expedition back then. The reason why we dare to attack Persia today is also inspired by your heroic deeds!”

“Ashamed! Ashamed! I was just a soldier following your Majesty. Without your majesty’s superb command, I am afraid that I would have long since become a bone buried in this foreign land.”

“…This is General Iphikratus of Athens.”

“Is it General Iphikratus, the famous Athens general who pioneered light infantry tactics in Greece and defeated the Spartan army many times in the Corinthian War?! It’s an honor to meet you!”

“Master Capus, you are so complimented! I heard that as early as when you were fighting in Persia, you had already begun to use light infantry tactics to fight the Persians. I also learned from the tactics of your Dionian army. ”

“At the time, it was your Majesty who forced us to practice light infantry tactics. We were not happy at the beginning, but after using it skillfully, we found that the effect was very good! You can abandon the inherent Greek military traditions, learn actively, and be able to follow the actual situation in Greece Created a unique light infantry tactic that belongs to Athens, great!”

“……Who is this–”

“This one does not need to be introduced. I know UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the chief general of the Arcadian Alliance, Lukomedes! When I went back to the Senate to report four years ago, he happened to be visiting Turei. We I have also participated in your majesty’s banquet together.”

“Master Capus, I happened to listen to your report in the Senate at the time, and I was very surprised! There are a large number of fierce and barbaric Gauls living in northern Italy. Master Capus has served as the chief executive there for many years. Those areas have remained stable, and the backward Gauls have also been allowed to actively learn from the Greek civilization and actively integrate into Dionian. This shows that Master Capus has the ability!”

“Master Lu Komedes praised me too much. There are many regional chiefs in Dionia like me who can integrate local indigenous people into Dionia, such as Lord Shiros in Thessaly and Egypt. Master Asistes has outstanding talents in this area. I hope Hades blessed, the people here can cooperate with us well to overthrow the tyranny of Persia and create a better future together!”

…

After everyone introduced each other, Mukru led everyone back to the city, Leotichides and Capus walking in the forefront.
