Cornelius hesitant, said: „Your majesty, I do not oppose and Volsci forms an alliance, the ignores Rome person conquers Volsci. But thought by the condition of Theonia this year, this is not a good time. Let alone our situation to central Italy is stranger, should be more prudent, preparation is fuller, to guarantee by some chance when really occurrence war, we have the full assurance to win!” 科尔内鲁斯犹豫了一下,说道:“陛下,我并不是反对与沃尔西结盟,放任罗马人征服沃尔西。而是觉得以戴奥尼亚今年的这个状况,这不是个好时机。更何况我们对意大利中部的局势非常陌生,应该再慎重一些,准备的更充分一些,以保证万一真的发生战争时,我们有充分的把握获胜！” The Cornelius experienced words cause the minister headed by Lysias to nod again and again. 科尔内鲁斯老成持重的话语引得以吕西阿斯为首的大臣连连点头。 „I also hope, when the kingdom well-trained soldiers and ample supply, all around does not have the foreign aggression time, intervenes Rome again. However the good time is not always, the enemy stupidly to will not be marking, whatever we interfere.” Davos is sad, says: „ Everyone still remembered in the past and Syracuse that war. Our original conception first attack Locri, tempts the Syracuse army to Magna Graecia, finally Dionysius actually lures Samnites to invade suddenly. We place hopes to station troops in Caulonia- a Terina defense, constrains the Syracuse army, first solves Samnites, then waits for the main force to come back to fight a decisive battle, Dionysius actually commanded the army easily to break through our southern line of defense...... “我也希望等到王国兵精粮足、四周都无外患的时候,再出手干涉罗马。但是好时机从来都不是等来的,敌人也不会傻到始终在原地踏步,任由我们去干涉。”戴弗斯心生感慨,开口说道:“大家还记得当年与锡拉库扎的那场战争吧。我们原先的构想是先进攻洛克里,引诱锡拉库扎的军队到大希腊,结果狄奥尼修斯却诱使萨莫奈人突然入侵。我们寄希望于屯兵于考伦尼亚-特里纳一线防御,拖住锡拉库扎军队,先解决萨莫奈人,然后等主力回来决战,狄奥尼修斯却率军轻易突破了我们南部的防线…… These lesson deep warnings I, the good time is not, but wins by our courageous actions. Moreover Carthaginians also has is not weak in the Dionysius wisdom, they had been clear that our Theonia is their future enemies, therefore they not only has been supporting Nick secure Tribe, but also already 78 years ago is supporting the Rome person. ” 这些教训都深深的告诫了我,好时机不是等来的,而是靠我们果敢的行动去赢来的。而且迦太基人同样有着不弱于狄奥尼修斯的智慧,他们早就清楚我们戴奥尼亚将会是他们未来的敌人,所以他们不但早就在支持塔尼克安部落,而且也早就七八年前就在支持罗马人了。” Cornelius and other people startled, Lysias quickly asked: „Your majesty, is this real?!” 科尔内鲁斯等人大惊,吕西阿斯急忙问道:“陛下,这是真的？！” „Naturally real. Because the matter of Nick secure Tribe made me produce vigilantly to Carthage, therefore increased the concern over kingdom peripheral influence, the manpower who finally I sent out collected quickly about Carthage and information of Rome communication, some evidence suggested that these year of Carthage have supported Rome again, aids the grain and weapon......” Davos is saying, law clerk Hernipolis that while is recording toward the side nods. “当然是真的。由于塔尼克安部落的事让我对迦太基产生了警惕,于是加大了对王国周边势力的关注,结果我派出的人手很快就收集到一些关于迦太基和罗马来往的信息,有证据表明这些年迦太基一直再对罗马进行支持,援助粮食、武器……”戴弗斯一边说着,一边朝身旁正在记录的书记官赫尼波利斯点了点头。 Hernipolis has the meeting hall immediately, quickly from royal palace forbidden area- in reference room found several points of document, brings to give Davos, Davos gives Cornelius it. 赫尼波利斯立刻出了议事厅,很快从王宫禁区-资料室中找到了几分文件,拿来交给戴弗斯,戴弗斯将它递给科尔内鲁斯。 Cornelius, Lysias and Dorum and other ministers circulate mutually, the facial expression is even more dignified. 科尔内鲁斯、吕西阿斯、塞多鲁姆等大臣相互传看,神情越发凝重。 „Before, I had not talked about Carthage and Rome matter , because we are busy with the governance merging into the Dauni area of kingdom newly, temporarily does not need to divert attention for the Rome matter. However-” Davos stands up suddenly, said loudly: „Now Volsci comes to request reinforcements, this is the good time! Helps Volsci, attacks the Rome person, will certainly win the support of other central Italy influences. Destroys the plot of Carthage, when will help the future likely have the war with Carthage insufficiently passive. Moreover, beats the Rome person, helps us enter that similarly fertile lands that central Italy Rome occupies!” “之前,我没有谈及迦太基和罗马的事情,是因为我们忙于治理新并入王国的道尼地区,暂时没有必要为罗马的事情分心。但是-”戴弗斯猛然站起身来,大声说道:“现在沃尔西前来求援,这就是好时机！帮助沃尔西,打击罗马人,必将赢得意大利中部其他势力的拥护。摧毁迦太基的阴谋,也有利于将来可能与迦太基发生战事时不至于被动。另外,击败罗马人,也有利于我们进驻意大利中部罗马所占据的那一片同样肥沃的土地！” Davos, the ministers felt the surprise at this point. 戴弗斯说到这里,大臣们都感到了诧异。 Davos is gazing at them, the sinking sound said: „Sir, this drought covered Kingdom of Theonia most lands time, making our disaster reliefs such difficulty, believes that makes each of you remember profoundly! Why? Because our countries are not very big, our national strengths are not very abundant, we need to gain more lands, can deal with each drought, each earthquake and each tsunami with ease time! Has in the situation that Carthage obstructs the road in the south, we gain the direction of land only to be able in the north side, therefore the Volsci envoy comes, gives our good opportunity!” 戴弗斯注视着他们,沉声说道:“诸位大人,这一次的旱灾就覆盖了戴奥尼亚王国绝大多数的土地,让我们的赈灾变得如此的困难,相信让你们每一个人都记忆深刻！为什么？因为我们的国家还不够大,我们的国力还不够雄厚,我们需要去获取更多的土地,才能轻松的应付每一场的旱灾、每一次的地震、每一次海啸！在南边有迦太基挡道的情况下,我们获取土地的方向只能在北边,所以沃尔西使者前来,正是送给我们的好机会！” Davos saw that the feudal officials fall into for a while silent, shows a faint smile, tone moderate saying: „Naturally this is I a long-term strategy that establishes for the kingdom, may not erupt with the Rome war immediately, has us to help Volsci, perhaps the Rome person will make concessions, therefore the bread must eating one after another, we do not worry, slowly comes, first lets council through ‚and Volsci becomes union’ the proposal, then with a Volscians careful discussion treaty of alliance, after all complete, then sends the envoy to test the Rome person to respond......” 戴弗斯看到众臣一时陷入沉默,微微一笑,语气缓和的说道:“当然这是我为王国设定的一个长期的战略,与罗马的战争不一定会马上爆发,有了我们帮助沃尔西,或许罗马人会就此退让,所以面包要一口一口的吃,我们不要着急,慢慢的来,先让元老院通过‘和沃尔西结为同盟’的提案,然后和沃尔西人仔细的商讨一下盟约,一切都做完之后,再派使者去试探一下罗马人对此的反应……” .................................... ……………………………… Theonia quick faction foreign minister Ansitanos and Volsci envoy Matt Boyle talked that forms an alliance about both countries. 戴奥尼亚很快派外交大臣安西塔诺斯与沃尔西使者麦特波拉进行了关于两国结盟的商谈。 The negotiation process is very smooth, only used the half-day multi- time, drew up to decide the forming an alliance draft, the main content was: Theonia and Volsci become the military alliance of friendly equality ; Strengthens the friendly contact, without illegal allied country law, his people can free stays on the allied country land ; Gives the preferential benefit and convenience in the trade mutually, does not increase taxes additionally, can not detain and arrest the merchant in allied country arbitrarily, presents the dispute, hands over arbitrates the solution by both sides together ; When a side suffers the enemy to invade or with the third party has the war, the allied country should with every effort provide the military assistance, even sends the army to enter the war at opposite party's request...... ” 谈判过程很顺利,只用了半天多时间,就拟定定了结盟草案,主要的内容是:戴奥尼亚与沃尔西结为友好平等的军事同盟;加强友好的交流往来,在不违法盟邦法律的情况下,其民众可以自由的在盟邦土地上停留;在贸易上相互给予优惠和便利,不额外加税,不得擅自拘留和抓捕盟邦的商人,出现纠纷,交由双方共同仲裁解决;当一方遭受敌人入侵或与第三方发生战争时,盟邦应尽力提供军事援助,甚至在对方的要求下派军队参战……” Matt Boyle takes the draft, immediately returns to Volsci. 麦特波拉拿着草案,立刻返回沃尔西。 Ten days later, he leads the Volsci envoy to roll arrives in a hurry, in the envoy group including the Volsci alliance several city-state archon . 十天之后,他带着沃尔西使者团匆匆来到,使者团中包括了沃尔西联盟中好几个城邦的执政官。 Davos and Volscians signed the union agreement seriously. 戴弗斯与沃尔西人郑重的签下了同盟协议。 The agreement just signed, Volscians dispatches troops to aid Volsci on impatient request Theonia. Originally the Rome person has captured Willie Therre, and repelled the Volsci reinforcements, starts to Turney Coombe city ( Satricum ) attack, the Volsci alliance even/including to suffer the disastrous defeat, enough soldier has not organized the huge reinforcements to resist the attack of Rome army, they faced with unprecedented crisis. 协议刚签完,沃尔西人就迫不及待的请求戴奥尼亚出兵援助沃尔西。原来罗马人已经攻下了维利特雷,并且击退了沃尔西的援军,开始向萨特尼库姆城(Satricum)进攻,沃尔西联盟连遭惨败,已经没有足够的战士组织起庞大的援军去阻挡罗马大军的进攻,他们面临前所未有的危机。 Davos decided that according to the proposition of Androlis, first sends the envoy to go the Rome mediation, simultaneously informs the military affairs section to make the war preparations in advance. 戴弗斯决定按照安塔奥里斯的提议,先派使者前去罗马斡旋,同时通知军务部预做战争准备。 Finally Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the prudent consideration and screening, the envoy who sends out is tower Pirus. 外交部经过慎重的考虑和筛选,最后派出的使者是塔皮鲁斯。 Several years ago, a slave who tower Pirus or Cheiristoya buy, because of being nimble, works industriously, less than several years is promoted as a manager in restaurant, and was granted the freedom by master Davos. In South-Italian War, he to prepare the status of citizen to attend the most important Crotone great battle, as lance, he and companions resisted Syracuse to hire the impact of cavalry, and routing, will assist other armies to defeat Syracuse powerful right flank simultaneously, for the entire battle finally won to play the essential role. 十几年前,塔皮鲁斯还是克莉斯托娅买来的一名奴隶,因头脑灵活,做事勤劳,没过几年就被提拔为一个餐馆的主管,并且被主人戴弗斯赐予了自由。在南意战争中,他以预备公民的身份参加了最重要的克罗托内大会战,作为一名长矛手,他和同伴们抵挡住了锡拉库扎雇佣骑兵的冲击,并将之击溃,同时协助其他部队击败了锡拉库扎强大的右翼,为整个会战的最终获胜发挥了关键的作用。 After the war ended, their lance of that batch of survivals become the Theonia official citizen. The later several years, tower Pirus has also participated war that conquers Messapi and Peuceti. Perhaps was the frequent fight exercised his courage and wisdom, broadened his vision, he no longer satisfied only holds the post of the local head in Cheiristoya restaurant, but was literate the ability that and can keep a promise to adopt the inspection of finance department with him, became the tax officer. 战争结束后,他们那一批幸存的长矛手都成为了戴奥尼亚的正式公民。之后的几年,塔皮鲁斯还参加过征服梅萨皮、普切蒂的战争。或许是频繁的战斗锻炼了他的胆识,开阔了他的眼界,他不再满足于只担任克莉斯托娅餐馆的地区负责人,而是用他识字、会算数的才能通过了财务部的考核,当上了税官。 Until Ministry of Foreign Affairs is founded, the Ansitanos recruitment public officials, the work did splendidly and are actually weary of tower Pirus that this type did accounts and keeps accounts daily to apply to arrive at Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 直到外交部成立,安西塔诺斯招收公职人员,工作干得出色、却厌倦这种天天算账、记账的塔皮鲁斯申请来到了外交部。 Ansitanos fully realized that goes abroad on a diplomatic mission Rome is not a simple duty, the envoy who needs not only need watch a person's every mood, eloquent, but must have the courage and wisdom. Therefore holds the post of the restaurant waiter, to participate in fight tower Pirus to become the optiman many times. 安西塔诺斯深知出使罗马并不是一件简单的任务,所需要的使者不但要会察言观色、辩才无碍,而且更要具有胆识。因此担任过餐馆侍者、又多次参加过战斗的塔皮鲁斯成为了最佳人选。 .................................... ……………………………… The Theonia 13 years( i.e. November 1 , 380), Theonia envoy tower Pirus sat in the Laos harbor passenger ship that went to Rome. 戴奥尼亚13年(即公元前380年11月1日),戴奥尼亚使者塔皮鲁斯在拉俄斯港口坐上了前往罗马的客船。 On this day clear weather, blue sky blue sky. 这一日天气晴朗,碧空万里无云。 Tower Pirus sits in the cabin, but also before tasting is leaving Thurii, to receive the scene of King Davos interview. 塔皮鲁斯坐在船舱里,还在回味着离开图里伊之前、受到戴弗斯国王接见的情景。 Said is the interview, is actually invites him to feast to the Davos mansion. Because he is the private slave of Davos release, according to Theonia now the popular view, Davos is his benefactor( because of one unusual custom that the Theonia national condition forms, the master releases has relations of special similar kinship by the slave and master who between. Without violating law, should release the slave, if the economic difficulty, can seek help from his original master, helping him look for the work or provides the subsidization ; But when the original master encounters the difficulty, these have become the liberate slaves of official citizen also to give as much financial support as possible, or when the original master campaigns for the place congressman or the insurance people officer, they will cast a precious vote for the original master jointly, this is obtains the society to approve. Because has these reasons, the Theonia rich citizen will crave in these years in kindly treating the slave, and gives the slave to be free.), An official interview, will turn into private invitation. 说是接见,其实是邀请他到戴弗斯府邸赴宴。由于他是戴弗斯释放的私人奴隶,按照戴奥尼亚现在流行的说法,戴弗斯是他的恩主(因戴奥尼亚的国情形成的一种奇特的风俗,被主人释放的奴隶与主人之间存在一种特殊的类似亲情的关系。在不违反法律的情况下,该释放奴隶如果生活困难,可以向其原主人求助,帮他寻找工作或者提供资助;而原主人遇到困难时,这些已经成为正式公民的解放奴隶们也会倾囊相助,或者在原主人竞选地方议员或保民官时,他们会联手为原主人投下宝贵的一票,这是得到社会认可的。正是因为有这些原因,戴奥尼亚较富有的公民在这些年才会热衷于善待自家奴隶、并给予自家奴隶自由。),才会将一个正式的接见,变成一个私人的宴请。 Simultaneously at the banquet, he unexpectedly such indigenous city-state is surprised, the request that Davos set for great King Davos so cares about central Italy feels surprised...... 在宴会上,他为伟大的戴弗斯国王竟然如此在意意大利中部的这样一个土著城邦而感到吃惊,同时更为戴弗斯提出的要求感到吃惊…… At this time, the captain pushed the door to come in: „Sir, immediately must arrive at the Ostiadal port.” 这时,船长推门进来:“大人,马上就要到奥斯提亚港了。” Tower Pirus hears word, puts aside the train of thought in heart, had/left the cabin. 塔皮鲁斯闻言,放下心中的思绪,出了船舱。 Under the front sky the sea gull hovers, the big and small ships gather in a direction, there should be the estuary and Rome of Tiber colonizing city Ostiadal is. 前方的天空下海鸥翱翔,大小船只都朝着一个方向汇聚,那里应该就是台伯河的入海口、罗马的殖民城奥斯提亚所在。 After obtaining this going abroad on a diplomatic mission appointment, tower Pirus had understood specially Rome material, knows that Ostiadal is the small cities of Latin person, dozens years ago was attacked and occupied by Rome, and migrates the citizen to settle down here, turned into the Rome colonizing city Ostiadal, afterward became Rome to conduct the seaborne commerce only the port city, because obtains these advantage, Ostiadal has been loyal and devoted to Rome, when Rome were attacked and occupied by the Gaul it has not betrayed. 在得到这个出使的任命之后,塔皮鲁斯专门了解过罗马的资料,知道奥斯提亚原本是拉丁人的一个小城镇,几十年前被罗马攻占,并迁移公民定居此处,将奥斯提亚变成了罗马的殖民城,后来更成为罗马唯一进行海上贸易的港口城市,正是因为得到这些好处,奥斯提亚一直对罗马忠心耿耿,即使是罗马被高卢人攻占时它也没有背叛。 Tower Pirus leads the envoy group member of accompanying to come ashore in Ostiadal. 塔皮鲁斯带着随行的使者团成员在奥斯提亚上岸。
