The carriage under slave's control, leaves the fishing wharf slowly. 马车在奴隶的驾驭下,缓缓驶离捕鱼码头。 Mica row of Sousse look that road both sides fishermen and labors gaze at his departure indifferently, he realized at this time when beforehand cost why feels the somewhat unusual reason: Usually he comes to the wharf, fishermen many can greet and ask with him the sound to be good, that several fishermen but who employ except for him today, others are silent by the right, entire wharf by one type strange covers quietly...... 米卡列苏斯看着路两旁的渔民和劳工们冷漠的注视他的离开,他这时才意识到之前来码头时为什么感觉有些异样的原因:平时他来码头,渔民们多少都会和他打个招呼、问声好,但今天除了他雇用的那几个渔民,其他人都沉默以对,整个码头被一种奇怪的沉寂所笼罩…… This makes him be troubled. 这让他感到不安。 ....................................... ………………………………… In fact, when Mica row of Sousse rush to the harbor, „Syracuse army in the Magna Graecia disastrous defeat” the news has started to travel in the city. 事实上,就在米卡列苏斯赶往港口的时候,“锡拉库扎大军在大希腊惨败”的消息已经开始在城内传开。 Knew the Syracuse people that this astonishing news bring the suspicion and startled, rushes to the city hall near square in abundance, must interrogate at this time in Syracuse temporarily highest senior official Philistus, unconfirmed information truth. 得知这一惊人消息的锡拉库扎民众带着怀疑和惊慌,纷纷赶到广场附近的市政厅,要质问此时在锡拉库扎的临时最高长官菲利斯托斯,以证实消息的真伪。 Compares more gathers more people outside the city hall, more and more noisy noise, in the city hall is actually peaceful exceptionally, in the conference room of chief executive only then few people, but each one is serious, because they obtain , is not only the news of Syracuse army disastrous defeat, the plenary powers general Dionysius request „Syracuse sends out reinforcements” order. 相比较于市政厅外越聚越多的民众、越来越嘈杂的吵闹,市政厅内却是安静异常,行政长官的会议室内只有寥寥几人,但个个面色凝重,因为他们得到的不光是锡拉库扎大军惨败的消息,还有全权将军狄奥尼修斯要求“锡拉库扎派出援军”的命令。 „Really is unbelievable! 80,000 armies and more than 400 warships...... the so powerful strength, lost to the strength to be inferior to our Theonia unexpectedly!” A Herolis deep sigh, broke the dreariness in room. “真是难以相信！8万大军、400多艘战船……如此强大的力量,居然败给了实力不如我们的戴奥尼亚！”赫罗利斯一声长叹,打破了房间内的沉寂。 „No one can often win the undefeated, particularly like difficulty very big cross-ocean expedition, so long as the final victory belongs to Syracuse, had the Magna Graecia wealth and population, all sacrifices were worth. Sir Herolis, you said right?” Information manager Scippa Nuse visits him, cold sound said. “没有谁能够常胜不败,尤其是像这样难度很大的跨海远征,只要最后的胜利属于锡拉库扎,有了大希腊的财富和人口,一切的牺牲都是值得的。赫罗利斯大人,你说对吗？”情报总管希帕瑞努斯看着他,冷声说道。 „Yes, if can win!” Herolis does not avoid his threatening vision, said with emphasis: „But this is only if! The present situation is our Sir Dionysius and Syracuse citizens is sieged is being away from us to need 2-3 days of range Scylletium, waits for us to send out the reinforcements!” “是的,如果能胜利的话！”赫罗利斯毫不回避他逼人的目光,加重语气说道:“但这只是如果！现在的情况是我们的狄奥尼修斯大人和锡拉库扎的公民们被围困在距离我们需要2-3天航程的西里庭,等待着我们派出援军！” „Sir, regarding achieving this war final success, I never have to suspect!” The Philistus loud speech, to dilute the conflict that two worlds possibly cause: „The performance of Theonia truly made me be startled, but I think they to engage in a decisive battle perhaps the victory, spelled to try. But our Syracuse also has the sufficient manpower and financial resource, so long as can organize an army again, invests into the Magna Graecia war, is not Theonian can resist!” “诸位大人,对于获得这场战争最后的胜利,我从来都没有过怀疑！”菲利斯托斯大声的说话,以冲淡两人间可能引发的冲突:“戴奥尼亚的表现确实令我吃惊,但是我想他们为了会战的胜利,恐怕也拼尽了全力。而我们锡拉库扎还有足够的人力和财力,只要能再组织一支军队,投入到大希腊的战争中去,就不是戴奥尼亚人所能抵挡的！” „You said is very right, Philistus.” Herolis relaxed the tone: „But must in a short time, plan to build 20,000 people of armies and over a hundred warships, does not achieve easily.” “你说的很对,菲利斯托斯。”赫罗利斯缓和了语气:“但是要在很短的时间内,筹建一支两万人的军队和上百艘战船,可不容易做到。” „It is not easy.” Philistus resolute saying: „But we must achieve, this is relates to the Syracuse life and death the important matter!” “是不容易。”菲利斯托斯语气坚定的说道:“但是我们必须做到,这是关系到锡拉库扎生死的大事！” At this point, he looked is appointed by Dionysius to remain behind general Matthias of former Campania mercenaries leader: „General, you thought how many citizen soldiers our Syracuse can also convene?” 说到这里,他将目光投向了被狄奥尼修斯任命为留守将领的前坎帕尼亚雇佣军首领的马西阿斯:“将军,你觉得我们锡拉库扎还能招集多少公民兵？” Matthias slightly makes the thinking, replied: „At least over ten thousand people. Only outside the city can mobilize more than 5000 people, but in city-” at this point, Matthias unconscious looks to the hall, demonstrated that worried: „Perhaps by the situation of present, not too conducts the war mobilization easily again.” 马西阿斯略作思索,就回答道:“至少上万人。光城外就能动员5000多人,不过城内-”说到这里,马西亚斯不自觉的看向厅外,显示出担忧:“以现在的这种局势,恐怕不太容易再次进行战争动员。” Matthias refers to „outside city” does not refer to the harbor and bay, but is Dionysius places the mercenaries in suburbs, he gave them the civil rights, and bestowed their land, making their loyalty to the Dionysius high. Dionysius migrates repeatedly is conquered the city-state population, places the mercenaries focusing on Campania repeatedly, lets its occupy the land that neighboring city-state is forced to give up. For these years, Syracuse the village that established outside the city recently reaches as high as dozens, making the Syracuse actual control the territory inflate suddenly, is the first strong nation that Sicily, even western Mediterranean deserved. However this also enables the city wives and city bystanders, to have the contradiction between harbor people increasingly serious. 马西亚斯指的“城外”并非是指港口和海湾,而是狄奥尼修斯安置在城郊的雇佣军,他给予了他们公民权,并且赐给了他们土地,使得他们对狄奥尼修斯的忠诚度较高。狄奥尼修斯多次迁移被征服城邦的人口,也多次安置以坎帕尼亚为主的雇佣军,让其占据邻近城邦被迫放弃的土地。这几年,锡拉库扎在城外新近建立的村庄就高达几十个,使得锡拉库扎实际控制的领地急剧膨胀,已经是西西里、甚至西地中海当之无愧的第一强邦。但是这也使得城内人、城外人、还有港口人之间的矛盾日益严重。 Philistus rubbed the eyebrow bone, obviously also has about the growing popular resentment at present, he said: „Herolis, the conscription incident in the city is made by you.” 菲利斯托斯揉了揉眉骨,显然对目前日益增长的民怨也感到头疼,他说道:“赫罗利斯,在城内征兵一事由你去做。” „Makes me go?” Herolis surprised looks to Philistus. “让我去？”赫罗利斯吃惊的看向菲利斯托斯。 „I do not have the means that who asked the people quite to like you, only then you will go possibly to succeed.” Philistus saying half jokingly, the facial expression is very earnest. “我也没有办法,谁叫民众比较喜欢你,只有你去才可能会成功。”菲利斯托斯半开玩笑的说道,神情却十分认真。 Herolis somewhat hesitates, want to argue several times, starts to speak but hesitates, finally his helpless lets go saying: „Good, this matter gives me.” 赫罗利斯有些犹豫,几次想要争辩,欲言又止,最终他无奈的摊手说道:“好吧,这件事交给我。” Some his commitment, Philistus put down half of hearts, he then said: „Previous we from Gela, Camarina and Agrigento...... the city-state conscriptions of these south coasts, the surplus soldier vacancies have not left from their time now. Sir Callidemus, ‚went abroad on a diplomatic mission these city-state duties, made them send out army’ the duty to give you.” 有了他的承诺,菲利斯托斯放下一半的心,他接着说道:“上一次我们没有从杰拉、卡曼利纳、阿格里真托……这些南海岸的城邦征兵,现在剩余的兵员缺额就从他们那里出吧。卡利德姆斯大人,‘出使这些城邦的任务、让他们派出军队’的任务就交给你了。” Has remained silent Callidemus to peep a Scippa Nuse at the one side, sees his slight nod, this said: „I hurry to immediately to these city-state demanded army that goes to battle with!” 一直在一旁保持沉默的卡利德姆斯偷看了一眼希帕瑞努斯,见他微微点头,这才说道:“我会立刻赶去向这些城邦索要出征的部队！” As Scippa Nuse's members of the same family and Dionysius trusted aide, Callidemus holds the post of the power to be next to Feely Storrs's royal courtier, when Dionysius is not in the city, his actually secret duties keep in balance Philistus, therefore does not have Scippa Nuse's agreement, he will not easily leave the Syracuse city. 作为希帕瑞努斯的亲族、狄奥尼修斯的心腹,卡利德姆斯担任权力仅次于菲力斯托斯的朝臣,当狄奥尼修斯不在城内的时候,他其实有一个秘密任务就是制衡菲利斯托斯,因此没有希帕瑞努斯的同意,他是不会轻易离开锡拉库扎城的。 Philistus does not seem to seen among two people the silent exchange , to continue saying: „Land army solves fortunately, was the warship on the trouble, we did not have the time to make the new warship, but did not have the powerful fleet, even if we had more armies, is unable to deliver to Magna Graecia to go them, therefore you went to these city-state of south side to recruit the soldier at the same time, must demand the warship to them, I want to add on more than 50 triremes that the harbor anchored again, can compose the fleets of hundred warships reluctantly. However this also not too enough, our also need many triremes, in order to defeat the Theonia fleet, therefore I will send the envoy to go Cyrenaica, purchases or rents their existing triremes......” 菲利斯托斯仿佛没有看到两人之间的无声交流,继续说道:“陆上部队还好解决,可是战船就麻烦多了,我们没有时间去建造新的战船,但是没有强大的舰队,即使我们拥有更多的部队,也无法将他们送到大希腊去,所以你去南边的这些城邦征召士兵的同时,也要向他们索要战船,我想再加上港口停泊的这50多艘三层桨战船,勉强能组成百艘战船的舰队。但是这还不太够,我们还需要更多的三层桨战船,以便能战胜戴奥尼亚舰队,所以我将派遣使者前去昔兰尼加,购买或者租借他们现有的三层桨战船……” Herolis cannot bear say: „We borrowed the Cyrenaica big gold and silver not to repay, how will Cyrenaica possibly be borrowing the warship to us?!” 赫罗利斯忍不住说道:“我们借了昔兰尼加的大笔金银还没有偿还,昔兰尼加怎么可能会在借战船给我们？！” „Because we have not rendered back the money, may obtain their warships.” Philistus said with a smile. “正是因为我们没有还钱,才有可能得到他们的战船。”菲利斯托斯笑道。 Herolis understands his meaning immediately: If Cyrenaica wants to bring back to lend the Syracuse qualification and interest, best is helps Syracuse win this war, otherwise Syracuse was finished, Cyrenaica only complete wipe-out. 赫罗利斯立刻明白他的意思:昔兰尼加要想拿回借给锡拉库扎的本钱和利息,最好就是帮助锡拉库扎打赢这场战争,否则锡拉库扎完蛋,昔兰尼加只会血本无归。 „Ok, fellow Sirs, please carry out your tasks immediately. I hope that five days later, we can form the reinforcements and fleet that Sir Dionysius needs!” Although the voice of Philistus speech is gentle, but orders is quite firm. “好了,各位大人,请立刻去执行你们的任务吧。我希望在五天之后,我们就能组建狄奥尼修斯大人所需要的援军和舰队！”菲利斯托斯说话的声音虽然和缓,但命令却相当坚决。 Everyone said goodbye to depart, Philistus also stopped by calling out Herolis: „The people that entrance these cause trouble also need you to convince.” 大家纷纷告辞离去,菲利斯托斯却又叫住了赫罗利斯:“门口那些闹事的民众还需要你去说服。” Herolis again helpless forced smile: „Good, I try. However even if this time can persuade to quit they, but next they will also come time again.” 赫罗利斯再次无奈的苦笑:“好吧,我试试。不过就算这次能劝退他们,可下一次他们还会再来的。” „Next situation will change!” Philistus self-confident saying. “下一次局势就会改变了！”菲利斯托斯自信的说道。 „Hoping is this.” Herolis wood wooden returned to one. “但愿是这样。”赫罗利斯木无表情的回了一句。 After these people leave, Scippa Nuse's discontented saying: „Sir Philistus, I have reminded you, commands the army to leave Sicily these days in Sir Dionysius, Herolis and Filosa Nuse these person of communications are close, he even also declared at a banquet, ‚the power of king is the gaudy shroud!’, Dissatisfaction of public expression over Sir Dionysius. I hope that you can imprison temporarily him, comes back until Sir Dionysius. However you not only oppose, but also gives him the power, if-” 等到这几人都离开后,希帕瑞努斯不满的说道:“菲利斯托斯大人,我提醒过你,在狄奥尼修斯大人率军离开西西里的这段时间里,赫罗利斯与费洛萨努斯那些人来往密切,他甚至在一场宴会上还宣称,‘君王之权不过是花哨的裹尸布！’,公开的表达对狄奥尼修斯大人的不满。我希望你能将他暂时囚禁起来,直到狄奥尼修斯大人回来。但是你不但反对,而且还给予他权力,万一-” „What Herolis said at the banquet is the drunken language, does not need to take seriously. Let alone Filosa Nuse these person of I understood very much, except for drinking to chat and say some discontented words, they could not achieve what great accomplishment......” Philistus as a scholar, about that group quite knew, considering Scippa Nuse's status, he persuaded patiently: „Some Herolis although small problems, but his ability is outstanding, what like subsiding the resentment of outside people, is more important is drafts the Zhaogong militiamen...... these matters except for him, but also who can complete! Under the present such bad circumstance, he is my best helper!” “赫罗利斯在宴会上说的是醉话,没必要当真。何况费洛萨努斯那些人我很了解,除了喝酒聊天、说些不满的话,他们做不了什么大事……”菲利斯托斯作为一个学者,对那个团体还是比较了解的,考虑到希帕瑞努斯的身份,他耐心的劝说道:“赫罗利斯尽管有些小毛病,但是他能力突出,象平息外面民众的怨气、更重要的是征召公民兵……这些事儿除了他,还有谁能做好！在现在这样糟糕的情势下,他是我的最好帮手！” „He has such big influence in the civilians, if once wants to rebel, the created harm is also bigger!” Scippa Nuse coldly said. “他在平民中有这么大的影响力,一旦要想作乱,造成的危害也更大！”希帕瑞努斯冷冷说道。 „What do you have to discover?” Philistus asked. “你有什么发现吗？”菲利斯托斯问道。 „Temporarily no. However his slave comes and goes out the harbor number of times usually somewhat to be many these days, now the harbor chaotic order, the rumor are many, perhaps has the Theonia spy disturbs!” “暂时没有。不过他的奴隶在这段时间出入港口的次数较平时有些多,现在港口秩序混乱,谣言很多,恐怕有戴奥尼亚的间谍在其中捣乱！” Scippa Nuse's words make the Philistus facial expression dignified: „Surveillance people exceptionally, safeguards the city-state security is your responsibility, I do not have the right to stop, if discovered that Herolis has any does not help the unusual action of Syracuse, I will not take into consideration with his friendship, certainly will detain him! After all the Syracuse city happens the riot, what threatens is our safety!” Philistus look cold severe, is also reminding Scippa Nuse vaguely: As the Dionysius most loyal follower and relative, Scippa Nuse's impression in people compared with Dionysius very many, everyone sat on a ship. 希帕瑞努斯的话让菲利斯托斯的神情变得凝重:“监视民众的异常、保障城邦安全是你的责任,我没有权利去阻拦,如果发现赫罗利斯有任何不利于锡拉库扎的异常行动,我不会顾及与他的情谊,一定会将他关押！毕竟锡拉库扎城一旦发生暴乱,威胁到的是我们大家的安全！”菲利斯托斯神色冷厉,同时也在隐晦提醒希帕瑞努斯:作为狄奥尼修斯最忠诚的追随者和亲戚,希帕瑞努斯在民众中的印象比狄奥尼修斯好不了多少,大家都是坐在一条船上。 „Sir Scippa Nuse, I decided that sends 200 mercenaries to enter the harbor, hopes that you can uncover Theonia to hide as soon as possible in the harbor spy, regains the harbor order as soon as possible!” “希帕瑞努斯大人,我决定派遣两百名雇佣军进驻港口,也希望你能尽快揪出戴奥尼亚潜藏在港口的间谍,尽快恢复港口的秩序！” „I will make contribution!” “我会尽力的！”
