LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

To prepare this vast war, Dionysius not only increases taxes to the Syracuse people, consumed light/only own state treasury, but also borrowed money from Cyrenaica city-state of Africa, even since he also moved the thought of robbing the Delphi sanctum, because there had each Greek city-state for several hundred years contributed to Delphi far more than tens of thousands, but by the gold and silver properties of 100,000 and 1 million ideas( in real historical, Dionysius during seizing Magna Graecia, really sent mercenary to pretend to be robbers and bandits to attempt to snatch Delphi, finally was only plot failure). 要知道,为了准备这一场浩大的战争,狄奥尼修斯不但向锡拉库扎民众加税,耗光了自己的国库,还从阿非利加的昔兰尼加城邦借债,甚至他还动起了抢劫德尔菲圣所的念头,因为那里有各个希腊城邦几百年来捐献给德尔菲的何止成千上万、而是以十万、百万计的金银财物(在真实的历史上,狄奥尼修斯就在在占领大希腊期间,真的派雇佣兵冒充盗匪企图抢德尔菲,只是最终阴谋失败)。 If attacked and occupied Rhegion, not only can gain the great wealth directly, makes up for the state treasury to be in debt, but also monopolized the Messina channel completely, only by the tax revenue of passing merchant ship, can maintain him to the expenditure that Magna Graecia seizes for a long time. As for before the army goes north the attack, captures behind Rhegion this „nail” the pure from view of military viewpoint, he actually really does not have extremely to care. 而如果攻占了利吉姆,不但可以直接获取大量财富,弥补国库亏空,而且完全垄断了墨西拿海峡,仅靠过往商船的税收,就能维持他对大希腊长期占领的花费。至于在军队北上进攻之前,拔掉身后利吉姆这个“钉子”的这种纯从军事角度考虑的看法,他其实真没有太过在意。 Pharacidas situated in the Dionysius position, impossible certainly not to have considered this war from the economic level, thus understands the hesitation of Dionysius. As the obstinance of Sparta person, although before embarking he had said that he chose the reason of Caulonia, he decided to say again one time, by the determination of firm Dionysius: „Rhegion, although by the Locri room partition, isolated beside south intent Union, to attack it is not quite easy! I read the map that you have given, the Rhegion north center have the hard-to-pass mountain range, the east side coast can only take the narrow mountain road to arrive, walks the west coast to first after the Marro River, but must attack and occupy its child nation Tao Rui that can open the path to lead to Rhegion, the Rhegion person can defend south bank of the Marro River with Tao Rui that full power, there region is narrow, does not favor expansion of Syracuse large unit, must attack the Rhegion territory to need some time. But south intent alliance association forms the army using these days, completes to the defense of Caulonia and Terina, even possibly when we attack Rhegion attacks Locri, making us be attacked front and rear......, if drags to lead the principal force to return from the Lucania area to Theonia that archon , we were not easy to hit because of Magna Graecia the war!” 菲比达斯没有处于狄奥尼修斯的位置上,当然不可能从经济层面来考虑这场战争,从而理解狄奥尼修斯的犹豫。作为斯巴达人的执拗,虽然在出发前他已经说过了他选择考伦尼亚的理由,他还是决定再说一次,以坚定狄奥尼修斯的决心:“利吉姆虽然被洛克里隔断,孤立在南意同盟之外,但是要想进攻它并不太容易！我看过你给的地图,利吉姆北面的中央有难以逾越的山脉,东侧海岸只能走狭窄的山路到达,走西侧海岸则要先经过马罗河,还要攻占它的子邦陶瑞那,才能打开通向利吉姆的道路,利吉姆人一定会和陶瑞那全力防御马罗河南岸,那里地域狭窄,根本不利于锡拉库扎大部队的展开,要攻进利吉姆领地是需要一段时间的。可是南意同盟会利用这段时间组建好军队,做好对考伦尼亚、特里纳的防御,甚至可能在我们进攻利吉姆的时候攻击洛克里,让我们腹背受敌……要是拖到戴奥尼亚的那位执政官率领主力部队从卢卡尼亚地区返回,我们在大希腊的这一场战争就不好打了！” The Pharacidas final two words make in the Dionysius heart shake, saying that although he seemingly does not care about: „The Theonia army that Davos leads to hurry back from the Lucania mountainous area, perhaps without is so easy, his trouble just started!” 菲比达斯最后的两句话让狄奥尼修斯心中一震,尽管他看似不在意的说道:“戴弗斯率领的戴奥尼亚军队要想从卢卡尼亚山区赶回来,恐怕没那么容易,他的麻烦才刚刚开始！” „So long as we make the best use of the time, has not completed the war preparations while south intent Union , to continue to attack to north, can certainly defeat their unions thoroughly, by that time Rhegion is the fish in net, cannot escape. But even if the Theonia main force can come back from the Lucania area, too has not helped the entire battlefield greatly.” “只要我们抓紧时间,趁南意同盟还没有做好战争准备,持续向北进攻,就一定能彻底打垮它们的联合,到那时利吉姆不过是网里的鱼,怎么也逃不掉。而戴奥尼亚的主力就算能从卢卡尼亚地区回来,对整个战场已经没有太大的帮助了。” Dionysius has not spoken, but the persuasion of Pharacidas has made him make the decision. 狄奥尼修斯没说话,但菲比达斯的劝说已经使他做出了决定。 .............................. ………………………… By the dusk, the front door of south intent Union Headquarters was shoved open suddenly, long-drawn-out Lippa Tos's accompanying shouted loudly: „Sir! Sir! The Theonia army has arrived!” 到了黄昏,南意同盟总部的大门被猛然推开,悠利帕托斯的随从高喊:“大人！大人！戴奥尼亚的军队已经到了！” Is much wearier long-drawn-out Lippa Tos who wants to rest unable to believe own ear: Arrived quickly! 正疲倦得昏沉欲睡的悠利帕托斯不敢相信自己的耳朵:这么快就到了！ In the afternoon urged by his, he sees with one's own eyes the Scylletium city hall to have the cavalry to the city, the city external assignment, informs all citizens. According to the Greek city-state general convention, the Scylletium citizen receives to enter the war the notice, will also take a talent to handle family's business most quickly, will take up to deposit the weaponry in home, will rush to the Scylletium Chengnei Plaza. Can complete the set and roll-call of citizen soldier in the day after tomorrow, is quite quick, but the preparation of grouping and military baggage of army...... and other preparations finished, in the end competes in...... the Scylletium chief general Prey Thinis to promise that him leads the team three days later as far as possible. 下午在他的催促下,他亲眼看到西里庭市政厅向城内、城外派出骑兵,去通知所有公民。按照希腊城邦通行的惯例,西里庭的公民接到参战通知,最快也要一天才会处理完家里的事务,才会拿起存放在家中的武器装备,赶往西里庭城内广场。能在后天完成公民兵的集合和点名,就已经算是比较快了,而部队的编组、辎重的准备……等一切准备完毕,到最后出征……西里庭的首席将军普雷提尼斯向他保证尽量在三天后率队出发。 Long-drawn-out Lippa Tos contrasted the city-state past preparation situation, to Scylletium today's performance has calculated that was quite satisfied, therefore the Ansitanos words, he only considered this scholar to indicate that before a Theonia positive attitude, when the innermost feelings does not think Theonian really can achieve, therefore Theonia was really knowing that the same day of Syracuse invasion sent the army to go to battle, and also really rushed to Scylletium, could be imagined to the long-drawn-out Lippa Tos's pleasant surprise. 悠利帕托斯对比自己城邦以往的备战情况,对西里庭今天的表现已经算比较满意了,所以之前安西塔诺斯的话,他只当是这位学者想要表明戴奥尼亚的一个积极的态度,在内心并不认为戴奥尼亚人真的可以做到,所以戴奥尼亚真的在得知锡拉库扎入侵的当天就派军队出征,并且还真的赶到西里庭时,给悠利帕托斯的惊喜是可想而知的。 „Sir Ansitanos, good! Really too thanked you!......” He is too busy to similarly exhausted Ansitanos expression of gratitude. “安西塔诺斯大人,太好了！真是太感谢你了！……”他忙不迭的向同样疲惫的安西塔诺斯道谢。 Ansitanos not arrogant, beckons with the hand saying: „This are not related with me, you should thank the Theonia soldiers who spin to come. Must know from Aprustum to the Scylletium more than 80 li (0.5 km)! Can rush in one day, is not really easy!” 安西塔诺斯没有倨傲,摆摆手说道:“这跟我没有关系,你应该感谢一路疾奔而来的戴奥尼亚的士兵们。要知道从阿斯普鲁斯图姆到西里庭八十多里地啊！能在一天之内赶到,真的是非常不容易！” „Right that you said!” Obtains the reminder of Ansitanos, outside long-drawn-out Lippa Tos's rushing city hurriedly. “你说的对！”得到安西塔诺斯的提醒,悠利帕托斯急匆匆的赶往城外。 When they rush, the soldiers of Theonia fourth regiment have started the simple building camp by the Scylletium city south path, long-drawn-out Lippa Tos sees their light the upper body, sweat profusely, in heart apologetic. 等他俩赶到的时候,戴奥尼亚第四军团的士兵们已经在西里庭城南道路旁开始简单的筑营,悠利帕托斯看到他们一个个都光着上身,汗水淋漓,不禁心中歉然。 They found under the direction of soldier were sitting on the lawn commander Philesius with legatus Epiphanes discussion matter. 他俩在士兵的指引下找到了正坐在草地上同军团长埃皮忒尼斯商议事情的指挥官斐利修斯。 „Sir Ansitanos, how did you come?” Epiphanes is sharp-eyed, first shouts. “安西塔诺斯大人,你怎么来了？”埃皮忒尼斯眼尖,抢先喊道。 „You such laborious catches up, I naturally must come to see you.” Ansitanos earnest saying, the fourth regiment fast rushes shocks Scylletium as well as other south intent Union city-state leaving stationed personnel, it can be said that set a very good example, makes Ansitanos speak in the union has the weight/quantity, he with having glory. “你们这么辛苦的赶过来,我当然要过来看望你们。”安西塔诺斯认真的说道,第四军团快速的赶到震惊西里庭以及其他南意同盟城邦的留驻人员,可以说是做了一个很好的榜样,也让安西塔诺斯在同盟中说话更有分量,他是与有荣焉啊。 „Where begins to see!” Epiphanes half jokingly half earnest saying. “哪有空着手来看望的！”埃皮忒尼斯半开玩笑半认真的说道。 „Epiphanes!” Philesius hurried to give him to cause a meaningful glance, hinting him do not speak goes too far. “埃皮忒尼斯！”斐利修斯赶紧给他使了一个眼色,示意他不要说话太过分。 Ansitanos does not have to care, after all usually often meets in council, he knows that Epiphanes is what personality person, therefore also said with a smile: „What do you want me to bring?” 安西塔诺斯倒没太在意,毕竟平时常在元老院碰面,他知道埃皮忒尼斯是个什么性格的人,于是也笑道:“那你想要我带点什么？” „It is not I, was these caught up with soldiers of day of road laboriously, thirsty did not have the time to look for the water to drink, must be busy constructing the camping area......” Epiphanes to point at also in the busy soldiers, referred to the dry lip: „You take a look, we were about dead of thirst!” “不是我,是这些辛辛苦苦赶了一天路的士兵们,口渴了还没时间去找水喝,就又要忙着建设宿营地……”埃皮忒尼斯指着还在忙碌的士兵们,又指了指自己干涸的嘴唇:“你瞧瞧,我们都快渴死了！” „Aiya, your truly too-” one side long-drawn-out Lippa Tos results in excitedly does not know that should say what good, turns around to say to own accompanying: „You return to the union station now immediately, called simultaneous/uniform everyone, in each restaurant to the city purchased the starch, then made them send......” “哎呀,你们这确实太-”一旁的悠利帕托斯激动得不知该说什么好,转身对自己的随从说道:“你现在立即回同盟驻地,叫齐所有人,到城内各个餐馆去购买浆水,然后让他们送来……” „Hey, here has about 10,000 people, it is estimated that to the night, the fifth regiment about 10,000 people arrived, is not only the issue of water, we come too quickly, the transportation battalion also lags behind, it is estimated that tomorrow can, the light eat these chilling bread to be not enough to supplement the physical strength of soldiers long distance march consumption.” Epiphanes puts out own grain ration, shook shaking in front of the long-drawn-out Lippa Tos, the impolite reminder said. “喂,我们这里可是有将近一万人,估计到了夜里,还有第五军团大约一万人到达,不光是水的问题,我们来得太快,辎重营还落在后面,估计明天才能到,光吃这些冷硬的面包根本不足以补充士兵们长途行军消耗的体力。”埃皮忒尼斯拿出自己的口粮,在悠利帕托斯面前晃了晃,不客气的提醒道。 „He jokes with you!” Philesius stared Epiphanes to be the same, said: „We have the bread and sex appeal, fills in the belly sufficiently, you do not need to worry.” “他跟你开玩笑啦！”斐利修斯瞪了埃皮忒尼斯一样,说道:“我们有面包和肉感,足以填报肚子,你不用操心。” „I am not able to solve the food availability issues of so many soldiers in Scylletium, so long as you arrived at Caulonia, I ensure the Caulonia people will certainly make you eat to the full to eat!” Long-drawn-out Lippa Tos during expression apology , the vague urging Theonian, simultaneously he to accompanying to issue the order: „In city the starch of restaurant is insufficient, conveys a message to the Scylletium citizen, so long as the self-made starch will deliver to here, delivers one can of us to pay many time of prices......” “在西里庭我无法解决这么多士兵们的食物供应问题,但只要你们到了考伦尼亚,我保证考伦尼亚的民众一定会让你们吃饱吃好！”悠利帕托斯在表达歉意的同时,又隐晦的催促了戴奥尼亚人,同时他又向随从下达命令:“城内餐馆的浆水不够,就传话给西里庭的公民,只要他们将自制的浆水送到这里来,送一罐我们付多一倍的价钱……” Accompanies goes accordingly. 随从应声而去。 „Really was too thanks you!” Philesius is busy at going forward to express the sense of gratitude. “真是太感谢你了！”斐利修斯忙上前表达感激之情。 „This is Caulonia envoy long-drawn-out Lippa Tos.” Ansitanos is busy at making the introduction. “这是考伦尼亚的使者悠利帕托斯。”安西塔诺斯忙做介绍。 „.” Epiphanes curls the lip, thought: Originally is the Caulonia person, money this/should you who buy the water leave. “哦。”埃皮忒尼斯撇撇嘴,心想:原来是考伦尼亚人,买水的钱就该你出。 „Has not really thought that you will come such quickly, anything has not prepared, otherwise I should invite you, to express thanks!” “实在没想到你们会来得这么快,什么也没准备,不然我应该宴请你们,以表示感谢！” „Banquet does not need, our military laws not to permit general and soldier but actually eats and drinks extravagantly during the war, we have several days of grain rations, feared that the transportation battalion transportation cannot supply for a while, at the appointed time really needs to consider that makes your Caulonia first provide food to us.” Became the commander, Philesius has to consider some details. “宴会倒不必了,我们的军法不允许将领和士兵在战争期间大吃大喝,我们自己带有几天的口粮,就怕辎重营运输一时供应不上,到时真的需要考虑让你们考伦尼亚先给我们提供食物。”当上了指挥官,斐利修斯不得不将一些细节问题都要考虑到。 „This naturally does not have the issue, tomorrow I will send people to inform the city hall to prepare the military provisions. I had said a moment ago, the Caulonia people will certainly make the Theonia citizens eat to the full to eat!” Long-drawn-out Lippa Tos accepts. “这当然没有问题,明天我就派人回去通知市政厅准备军粮。我刚才说过,考伦尼亚的民众一定会让戴奥尼亚的公民们吃饱吃好的！”悠利帕托斯一口应承下来。 Looks that the front innumerable soldiers lift the pickaxe to trench, sweat profusely, actually does bustling, long-drawn-out Lippa Tos curious asking: „You arrived here to be very tired, the direct tent rest was good, why can also dig the trench?” 看着前面无数士兵举镐挖沟,挥汗如雨,却干得热火朝天,悠利帕托斯不禁好奇的问道:“你们到达这里已经很劳累了,直接搭帐篷休息就行了,干嘛还要挖壕沟？” „This is " Theonian Military Law » stipulation, mainly to give the soldiers provides a safer comfortable camp.” Ansitanos answered freely spoken, the time that Theonia established grew, „old person” also knew some stipulations of army like their these. “这是《戴奥尼亚军法》的规定,主要是为了给士兵们提供一个更安全舒适的营地。”安西塔诺斯顺口解释道,戴奥尼亚建立的时间长了,像他们这些“老人”也都知道了军队的一些规定。 „Your army requests are really strict!” As the citizen, long-drawn-out Lippa Tos has certainly the experiences of multiple joining the army, contrasts itself, has a look at the present Theonia soldier again, he is not sad. “你们的军队要求真严啊！”作为公民,悠利帕托斯当然有多次从军的经历,对比自己,再看看眼前的戴奥尼亚士兵,他不由不心生感叹。 „This is the simplest building camp way, because comes late, shortly after wants the darkness, so long as digs the trench, builds the earthen rampart on the line. This in the allied country, should no danger, if in the war region, is only constructs the camp to take several days!” Epiphanes is showing off, was complaining: „Key is our fourth regiment not only need construct the camp to oneself, but must construct to the fifth regiment.” “这还是最简单的筑营方式,因为来得太晚,没多久就要天黑,所以只要挖好壕沟,筑起土垒就行。这又是在盟邦境内,应该没有什么危险,如果在战争区域,光是建造营地就要好几天！”埃皮忒尼斯即是在炫耀,也是在抱怨:“关键是我们第四军团不但要给自己建营地,还要给第五军团也建。”
