The smooth broad street, divides the neat block, the neat ordered house...... makes people feel regarding as important of Theonian to the hygienic and order. But stood erect and stretched across viaduct of city, slowly by the giant water wheel, the uniquely-shaped fountain and path rotation the purl...... this to demonstrate high Theonian took Greeks, has own characteristics and pursue to the architectural art and technology. 平坦宽阔的街道,划分整齐的街区,整齐有序的房屋……都让人感觉到戴奥尼亚人对卫生和秩序的看重。而高高矗立、横跨城区的高架水桥、徐徐转动的巨大水轮、造型独特的喷水池、道路两侧的潺潺流水……这展示了戴奥尼亚人作为希腊人,对建筑艺术和技术同样有着自己的特色和追求。 Those who most make the envoys settle down is that stands tall and erect pure white Arc de Triomphe, imposing Nike square and great magnificent council that big conference hall, this is obviously demonstrating the Theonia great ambition and pursue. Perhaps if before, their seeing this, will ridicule that in secret overreaching oneself of Theonia, but after going through the second Crotone war, they have to face up to this city-state alliance, obviously detected this emerging city from establishing from the beginning, demonstrates unusual of it and other Greek city-state everywhere, as well as unusual ambition. 最让使者们驻足的是那洁白高耸的凯旋门、气势宏伟的胜利广场、宏大壮观的元老院大议事堂,这明显是在展示戴奥尼亚的雄心和追求。若是以前,他们看到这些,说不定会暗中嘲笑戴奥利亚的不自量力,但在经历了第二次克罗托内战争之后,他们不得不正视这个城邦联盟,就明显发觉到了这个新兴的城市从建立的一开始,就处处显示出它与其他希腊城邦的与众不同,以及非同一般的志向。 If nothing else, has a look Temple of Hades that on the distant place hill that will soon be completed, takes the city-state patron god by Hades, the entire Greece only has Theonia. 别的不说,看看远处山丘上那即将竣工的哈迪斯神庙,以冥王作为城邦守护神,全希腊就唯有戴奥尼亚。 In envoys the center of careful observation this emerging city-state alliance looking pensive, when walks and rushes to toward the west council, the Thurii people in abundance left home, in groups and in high spirits to travelling to the East. 就在使者们一边若有所思的仔细观察这个新兴城邦联盟的中心,一边往西走、赶往元老院时,图里伊的民众则纷纷出了家门,成群结队、兴高采烈的向东行。 „What did I listen to them to say...... the assignment land?” Scylletium envoy curious asking. “我听他们说什么……分配土地？”西里庭使者好奇的问道。 „Yes, I also heard.” Terry that envoy asked directly: „Can you land allocation that seizes newly to the citizen?” “是啊,我也听到了。”特里那使者问得更直接:“难道你们要将新占领的土地分配给公民？” „Land that Theonia has not usurped, according to treaty of alliance, legitimate obtained!” Comes to greet their Plesinas immediately the serious investigation correct path. “诸位,戴奥尼亚没有强占的土地,都是根据盟约、合法所得！”前来迎接他们的普莱辛纳斯立刻一本正经的纠正道。 The envoys have not refuted, actually in innermost feelings unstated criticism. 使者们没有反驳,却在内心腹诽。 „According to the commitment that «Theonian Military Law», «Theonia Citizen Law» as well as pre-war council makes, any citizen and preparation citizens who attended this war will obtain the land.” Plesinas conceals nothing whatsoever continues saying: „According to the citizen soldiers in the war performed...... Ministry of Agriculture and military affairs of section these days council subordinate did a lot of work in the merit as well as Aprustum, Krimisa and actual situation of Crotone that Northern Plain land, today is to announce assigns the land the result, was not only the Thurii people, Amendolara and Nerulum people will catch up, because the person were too many, therefore can only be held...... fellow envoys outside the city, if were interested, waited for the conference to end to have a look.” “根据《戴奥尼亚军法》、《戴奥尼亚公民法》以及战前元老院作出的承诺,凡是参加了这场战争的公民、预备公民都将获得土地。”普莱辛纳斯毫不隐瞒的继续说道:“根据公民兵们在战争中立下的功绩以及阿斯普鲁斯图姆、克里米萨、克罗顿北部平原土地的实际情况……这段时间元老院下属的农务部、军务部做了大量的工作,今天是宣布分配土地的结果,不光是图里伊的民众,阿门多拉腊、尼乌图姆的民众都会赶来,由于人太多,所以只能在城外举行……各位使者如果感兴趣,等会议结束可以去看看。” „We hurry first to go to council, completes the matter, our city-state people are also hoping for our news!” Seeing other envoys is somewhat excited, the Sisticos loud reminder said, takes the opportunity to conceal the innermost feelings the shame, after all Theonia assignment land that but Crotone is forced to cede. “我们还是赶紧先去元老院,把事情做好,我们城邦的民众还期盼着我们的消息！”见其他使者有些心动,西斯普罗提斯大声提醒道,借机掩饰内心的羞愧,毕竟戴奥尼亚分配的可是克罗托内被迫割让出去的土地。 .............................. ………………………… Sisticos knows that this time does not go abroad on a diplomatic mission like the previous time easy, but he has not thought, facing four city-state messengers' requests, Theonia council all senior statesmen opposed the attitude of dispatching troops to is very firm. 西斯普罗提斯知道这次出使不会像上次一样容易,但他没想到,面对四位城邦使者的请求,戴奥尼亚元老院全体元老反对出兵的态度很坚决。 ...... What „war just ended, the loss of Theonia is also very big, does not have enough land tax, deals with another war!”...... ……什么“战事刚刚结束,戴奥尼亚的损失也很大,没有足够的钱粮,来紧接着应付又一场的战争！”…… ...... What „the Theonia citizens just put down the shield lance, there is a land that just assigned, prepares well the recuperation, had not finished while the spring, hurries to plant the wheat on the new minute/share of land, but can also catch up with the harvest, therefore is impossible the desire that has to fight!”...... ……什么“戴奥尼亚公民们刚放下盾矛,又有了刚分配的土地,都准备好好休整,趁春季还未结束,赶紧在新分的土地上种植小麦,还能赶上丰收,因此不可能有战斗的欲望！”…… ...... What „Theonia does not need to go with Locri for the enemy, thus on provoking Syracuse this powerful city-state!”...... ……什么“戴奥尼亚没有必要去与洛克里为敌,从而招惹上锡拉库扎这个强大的城邦！”…… In brief the countless words form a few words: Theonia only wants to rest and build up strength, does not want to mind others' business. 总之千言万语汇成一句话:戴奥尼亚只想休养生息,不想多管闲事。 Therefore, Scylletium, Terina and Caulonia envoy expressed willingness like Crotone, signed «Defensive alliance Treaty» with Theonia, encountered the vigorous opposition of Theonia senior statesmen, their reasons were very simple: Because by the Theonia present strength, almost does not have an influence on dare to provoke them in southern Italy, but Caulonia, Terina and Scylletium actually encounter the attack of Locri and Bruttians once for a while, if signed this treaty, was equal to that these three city-state hired a powerful city-state alliance to protect their securities free, was obviously favorable for them, but was no good to Theonia. 于是,西里庭、特里纳、考伦尼亚的使者纷纷表示愿意象克罗托内一样,与戴奥利亚签署《防御同盟条约》,又遭到戴奥尼亚元老们的强烈反对,他们的理由很简单:因为以戴奥尼亚现在的实力,在意大利南部几乎没有一个势力敢来招惹他们,而考伦尼亚、特里纳、西里庭却时不时遭到洛克里、布鲁提人的侵袭,如果签署了这个条约,就等于这三个城邦免费雇佣了一个强大的城邦联盟保护他们的安全,明显是对他们有利,而对戴奥尼亚没有任何好处。 The negotiations in council reach the impass, Sisticos worry, does not have the means. 元老院内的谈判陷入僵局,西斯普罗提斯干着急,却没有办法。 At this time, Terina envoy anxious saying of: „If I requested that joins the Theonia union?” 这时,特里纳使者急切的说道:“如果我请求加入戴奥尼亚同盟呢？” Terina envoy not temporary being prompted by a sudden impulse, when passing through Roscianum, Amikles and the others had once entertained lavishly them. At the banquet, the Roscianum congressmen mentioned unintentionally Roscianum after many advantage that joining the Theonia union gains. Meanwhile, they personally see in the Roscianum city stable and abundance of people, somewhat touches to envoys many. 特里纳使者并非一时的心血来潮,在经过卡斯特隆时,阿密克利斯等人曾盛情款待过他们。在宴会上,卡斯特隆的议员们有意无意的提到卡斯特隆在加入戴奥尼亚同盟后所获得的诸多好处。同时,他们又亲眼所见卡斯特隆城内民众的安定和富足,对使者们多少有些触动。 Sisticos hears this saying, suddenly startled, subconscious shouting: „Siprus, you know that what you are saying?!” 西斯普罗提斯听到这话,霍然一惊,下意识的喊道:“西普洛斯,你知道你在说什么吗？！” „Saves Terina!” Envoy Siprus righteous saying: „Our Terina person always observes the treaty of alliance in the union, responded the summons of your Crotone, every year on time paid Kun Kim, moreover which war we were not positive dispatching troops deliver the grain! Now trades is actually Locri person's destruction wantonly to Terina territory, Terina is a small nation,( city-state in life Locri union in Xibonian, in the Terina south) and in Bruttians crevice, if cannot repel Locri as soon as possible, perhaps cannot the Bruttians attack, Terry pull people starve to death!” “拯救特里纳！”使者西普洛斯理直气壮的说道:“我们特里纳人在同盟里一向遵守盟约,响应你们克罗托内的号召,每年按时缴纳贡金,而且哪一次战争我们不是积极的派兵送粮！如今换来的却是洛克里人对特里纳领地的大肆破坏,特里纳是个小邦,偏偏生活在希伯尼安(洛克里同盟中的城邦,在特里纳的南面)和布鲁提人的夹缝中,如果不能尽早击退洛克里,不能布鲁提人来袭,特里拉人恐怕都饿死了！” Sisticos wants saying: Terina does not have the grain, Crotone to aid at the appointed time. 西斯普罗提斯本想说:特里纳到时没粮,克罗托内可以援助。 But he swallowed to the words of mouth immediately, Crotone experiences this twice with the Theonia war, the loss is serious, because of the blockade of Locri fleet, the entire City People also faced afterward lacks the grain crisis, why this will be Crotone will also agree urgently the three allied countries in own union will come to the primary cause that Theonia will request reinforcements. 可他随即又咽下了到嘴边的话,克罗托内经历这两次与戴奥尼亚的战争,损失惨重,又因为后来洛克里舰队的封锁,全城民众同样面临缺粮危机,这也是克罗托内为什么会迫切的同意自己同盟内的三个盟邦来向戴奥尼亚求援的主要原因。 He warned loudly said: „You do not know that joins the Theonia union, cannot have any alliance relationship with other city-state again! If Terina withdraws from the Crotone union, then Crotone will retreat immediately in Unit Crotone that the Terina help defends, later has the enemy to invade, we will not give Terina any help again!” 他大声警告的说:“你难道不知道加入戴奥尼亚同盟,就不能再与其他城邦有任何同盟关系吗！如果特里纳退出克罗托内同盟,那么克罗托内将立即撤退在特里纳帮助防御的克罗托内,以后再有敌人入侵,我们也不会再给特里纳任何帮助！” Sisticos these words, since aimed at Terina saying that also to Scylletium and Caulonia envoy, even a reminder of Theonia council. After all, at this time in the south resists the Locri main force is Crotone, if it does not throw up one's job dry/does, not only several other city-state must but actually big mildew, but also to the plan of Theonia is also a hindrance. 西斯普罗提斯的这番话,既是针对特里纳说的,也是对西里庭、考伦尼亚使者,甚至戴奥尼亚元老院的一个提醒。毕竟,此时在南方抵御洛克里的主力是克罗托内,它要是撂挑子不干,不但另外几个城邦要倒大霉,而且对戴奥尼亚的计划也是一个阻碍。 Therefore, originally Scylletium and Caulonia of envoys some ideas were silent, Terina envoy Siprus was also unable to back down at this moment. 因此,本来有些想法的西里庭、考伦尼亚使者都闭口不言,特里纳使者西普洛斯此刻也骑虎难下。 Sees this situation, Davos said slowly: „Fellow city-state envoys from Crotone union, Theonia, if accepted your request, dispatches troops to repel Locri, anger that then Locri, Syracuse extremely may even be defeated centralized to our Theonia on, any sane Theonia people will not allow us to make such a to help you, but to own alliance interest completely harmful stupid decision.” 看到这种情况,戴弗斯缓缓说道:“来自克罗托内同盟的各位城邦使者,戴奥尼亚如果答应了你们的要求,出兵击退洛克里,那么洛克里、甚至锡拉库扎极可能将失败的怒火都集中到我们戴奥尼亚身上,任何一个理智的戴奥尼亚民众都不会允许我们做出这样一个为了帮助你们、而对自己联盟利益完全有害的愚蠢决定。” The Davos words make the envoys look gloomy. 戴弗斯的话让使者们神色晦暗。 Davos then thread of conversation one revolution: „Just like but you said a moment ago, Theonia or Crotone and Scylletium......, because the contradiction and benefit have the conflict, even has the war, eventually is our Magna Graecia the matter between city-state. However colludes with Sicily Syracuse like Locri, gets involved in our Magna Graecia city-state war, without doubt attracted a hungry wolf to the flock of sheep, what threatens is the entire Magna Graecia city-state security, when we must be busy with while Syracuse with Carthage battles, quickly ended and Locri war, does not give the excuse that Syracuse interferes with, therefore dispatches troops not to dispatch troops, our Theonia council feels very awkward! The people need a good reason, making hope stable them feel not making the meaningless fight for the bystander, but Theonia does not hope that after aiding you were abandoned, in the future will face the powerful enemy alone!” 戴弗斯接着将话锋一转:“但是正如刚才你们说的,无论是戴奥尼亚还是克罗托内、西里庭……因为矛盾和利益产生冲突,甚至发生战争,都终究是我们大希腊的城邦之间的事。但是像洛克里那样勾结西西里的锡拉库扎,介入到我们大希腊城邦的战争中,无疑就是给羊群里引来了一条饿狼,威胁到的是整个大希腊城邦的安全,我们必须趁锡拉库扎忙于与迦太基作战之际,尽快结束与洛克里的战争,不给锡拉库扎干涉的借口,因此出兵还是不出兵,我们戴奥尼亚元老院感到很为难！民众需要一个好的理由,让渴望安定的他们感觉不是在替外人做毫无意义的战斗,而戴奥利亚也不希望在援助你们之后就被抛弃,将来独自面对强敌！” The envoys fall into silent, in the Davos words the meaning has expressed unusual is obvious. 使者们陷入沉默,戴弗斯话中之意已经表达的非常明显。 Sisticos is actually confused, before he remembers just before leaving, warning of Lysias: Theonia may not want each city-state to urge it dispatches troops , the quantity not poor gold and silver and commodity that pledged to give, with each city-state signature defensive alliance treaty, they may not want perhaps will be more...... 西斯普罗提斯却是心烦意乱,他想起临行前吕西阿斯的告诫:戴奥尼亚可能不会要各个城邦为了促使它出兵而承诺给予的、数量不菲的金银和物资,也可能不会与各个城邦签署防御同盟条约,它们想要的恐怕会更多…… At this time, the Davos clear and resonant voice said again: „I have a proposition to be possible for you to consider.” 这时,戴弗斯再次朗声说道:“我有一个提议可供你们考虑。” In flash that he stops, each envoy raised up the ear. 在他停顿的一瞬间,每位使者都竖起了耳朵。 „Theonia, Crotone, Scylletium, Caulonia and Terina our five city-state form a union together, resists and attacks dare together to encroach upon our enemies, but between the allied countries the mutual non-aggression, has the conflict to be able through the settlement!......” “戴奥尼亚、克罗托内、西里庭、考伦尼亚、特里纳我们五个城邦共同组建一个同盟,共同抵御和进攻敢于侵犯我们的敌人,而盟邦之间互不侵犯,有矛盾冲突可以通过协商解决！……” Hears this saying, the envoys is a really such look, is only the dark color on Sisticos face is deeper, but others obviously somewhat are excited, particularly Terina envoy Siprus enlivens again, first asked: „Sir archon , this union is primarily whom?” 听到这话,使者们都是一副果然如此的神色,只是西斯普罗提斯脸上的晦色更深,而其他人则显然有些心动,尤其是特里纳使者西普洛斯再度活跃起来,抢先问道:“请问执政官大人,这个同盟以谁为主？” This issue, Sisticos is anxious immediately. 这个问题一出,西斯普罗提斯顿时紧张起来。 Davos shows a faint smile: „Among unions, regardless of the big or small equality is together, when meets the issue and being hard reach an agreement, can a city-state ticket, the voting solution......” 戴弗斯微微一笑:“同盟间无论大小平等相处,遇到问题、难以达成一致时,可以一个城邦一票,投票解决……” The reply of Davos comes as a surprise to envoys, thinks that the Theonia proposition establishes the new union, wants to win the leading power of this union, besides Sisticos, other envoy eyes shines. 戴弗斯的回答出乎使者们的意料,原以为戴奥尼亚提议成立新同盟,是想获得这个同盟的主导权,除了西斯普罗提斯以外,其他使者眼睛发亮。
