In the Hanno(Hannonian)surfaceagreed that sends out the armytoSicily, buthenow the military poweris powerfulbyTheonia, strengthabsolute the assurancebyCarthagethiscityhas not wononly, thereforeneedsto gatherGovernorIberia the military power in Magonhand, becausetheyhave a hugearmyyear to year, the indigenouscombatwithIberia, the fightexperienceis often rich.汉诺表面上同意向西西里派出军队,但是他却以戴奥尼亚现在军事力量强大,单靠迦太基本城的力量没有绝对的把握获胜,因此需要集合伊比利亚总督玛哥手中的军事力量,因为他们常年拥有一支庞大的军队,时常同伊比利亚的土著作战,战斗经验丰富。According to the truth, therequest of Hanno(Hannonian)is fair, manysenior statesmenexpressed the support, the senior statesmen but who PrestatKubbaand otherMagonidvirtuesendactuallyresolutelyopposed,theythink: AlthoughMagonhas an armyinIberia, butthisarmy is usedto defend the attack of Iberiaaborigines, iftransferredthem, the land that CarthageinIberiaseizesnewly may fall into the hand of aboriginesagain.
按道理,汉诺的这个要求合情合理,很多元老都表示了赞同,但是普雷塔库巴等马戈尼德派的元老们却坚决反对,他们认为:玛哥虽然在伊比利亚拥有一支军队,但是这次军队是用来防御伊比利亚土著人的侵袭,如果调走了他们,迦太基在伊比利亚新占领的土地可能会再次落入土著人的手中。Regardingthisreason, Hanno(Hannonian)snorts contemptuously, hetauntedloudly: „Magonalsoneedsto guard against the attack of Iberiaaborigines! Iheard that the Iberiaindigenousleadersgo to the Sexi( Sexi )cityto pay a visithimfrequently, hescoldedthemlikescolding the slave. MoreoverIalsoknow that the Malagacity and officials in Gaddiscitywent toSexito pay a visit the Magonnumber of timesto be possible the Carthagenumber of timesto be much morerecently! The Iberiacolonynowis calm and steady, the war costs that butMagonapplied to councilare actually enhancingyear by year, hisarmyhand/subordinatewas also getting more and more huge, Ido not know that whomhedid usethisarmyto guard against?! Shouldn't hewiththisby the army that the Carthagegold and silverprovides forbe the Carthagepotency?! Ifhedid not agree, whatotherideathenhedoes have?!”
对于这个理由,汉诺嗤之以鼻,他大声嘲讽道:“玛哥还需要防备伊比利亚土著人的进攻吗!我听说伊比利亚土著的首领们可是经常到塞西(Sexi)城去拜见他,他呵斥他们就像呵斥奴隶一样。而且我还知道马拉加城、加迪斯城的官员们去塞西拜见玛哥的次数可比来迦太基的次数多得多!伊比利亚的殖民地现在已经非常安稳,可是玛哥向元老院申请的军事费用却是逐年在提高,他手下的军队也越来越庞大,我不知道他用这支军队来防备谁?!难道他不应该用这支靠迦太基的金银供养起来的军队为迦太基效力吗?!如果他不同意,那么他是不是有什么别的想法?!”
The words that Hanno(Hannonian)spokecan be said asexecuting the heart, PrestatKubbaare hardto make the rebuttalfor a whileunexpectedly, but the senior statesman who accepted the Magonbribemuch not goodto speakforhimat this time, the proposition of Hanno(Hannonian)alsohad the support of independentsenior statesman.汉诺所说的话可说是句句诛心,普雷塔库巴一时竟难以作出反驳,而不少接受了玛哥贿赂的元老此时也不好替他说话,汉诺的提议还得到了中立派元老的支持。Finally, Hanno(Hannonian)evenspoke the aggressive statement: „Magondoes not dispatch troops, Carthagewill not dispatch troops toSicily!”
最后,汉诺甚至说下狠话:“玛哥不出兵,迦太基就不会派兵去西西里!”
The conferenceparts on bad terms.
会议不欢而散。Quick, in the Carthagecitystartsto spread the rumor: „Hanno(Hannonian)dreadsTheonia, does not dareto send out the armyto battle, being determinedto violatewith the intimateallied countryRomeagreement!”
很快,迦太基城内开始传出谣言:“汉诺畏惧戴奥尼亚,不敢派出军队作战,决意要违反与亲密盟邦罗马的协定!”However, anotherrumorwas extensively disseminated: „Magonrefusesto send outwith the armyandTheonia that the tax money of Carthagecitizenrecruitsbattles , because hewants, whenIberiaking!”
但是,另一个谣言更被广泛传播:“玛哥拒绝派出用迦太基公民的税钱招募的军队与戴奥尼亚作战,是因为他想要当伊比利亚的王!”Thisrumorraised the great unrestin the Carthagecity, a lot ofpeoplebefore the councilgate the setprotested,cursingMagonis the treasonthief, stronglyrequestscouncilto abolish the position of hisGovernorIberia, recallsCarthagehim, stands the trial.
这个谣言可是在迦太基城内掀起了轩然大波,不少民众到元老院门前集合抗议,大骂玛哥是叛国贼,强烈要求元老院撤销他伊比利亚总督的职位,将他调回迦太基,接受审判。
The newspasses tosouthIberia, after Magonand the othersknew, mood many are somewhat depressed.
消息传到伊比利亚南部,玛哥等人知道后,心情多少有些沮丧。Theyare very clear: Thisnotin the power centerCarthagedisease, thereforeis very difficultto control the situation. Although the Magonidvirtuefamilieshadonealsoto calculate the stablefoundationinIberia, but once was separated fromCarthage, itwill turnwithout the wood of root.
他们很清楚:这就是不在权力中心迦太基的弊病,所以很难掌控局势。虽然马戈尼德家族在伊比利亚有了一个还算稳定的根基,可一旦脱离了迦太基,它就会变成无根之木。Theynaturallydo not hope that was abandonedby the Carthagepeople, the Hanno(Hannonian)approachcould be said ashittheirsoft ribruthlessly.
他们当然不希望被迦太基民众所背弃,汉诺的做法可说是狠狠的击中了他们的软肋。
After MagonandHarcarthey discussed that quickmade the decision.玛哥与哈卡他们商议之后,很快就做出了决定。Therefore, a few days laterPrestatKubbaproposedin the councilconference: „FellowSirs, as the Carthagecitizen, GovernorIberiaMagonare certainly willingto send outsubordinatearmyto go to battle, buthehopes that canhold the postto attack the command of Sicily!”
于是,几天后普雷塔库巴在元老院会议上提出:“各位大人,作为迦太基的公民,伊比利亚总督玛哥当然愿意派出麾下的军队出战,但是他希望能够担任进攻西西里的统帅!”Trulyby the Magonstatus and militaryqualifications, in the Carthagecitizenno onedaresto competeto go to battle with the commandwithhim the position, but how Hanno(Hannonian)will makehimachieve wishes, safePanLakestoodto expressimmediatelyopposed: „Iberiapeninsulasituationis complex, manyaggressiveindigenous, onceSirMagonif after departure, the governor who sendsnewlyis not also familiarwiththeresituation, perhapswill cause the Iberiaarea that seizesnewly is not steady, theseyearseffortswere not in vain! ThereforeSirMagoncontinuesto treatgoodbecause ofIberia, onlyneededto deploy the armyto be OK.”
确实以玛哥的身份和军事资历,迦太基公民中没有人敢和他争夺出征统帅的位置,但是汉诺又怎会让他如愿,泰潘拉科当即站起来表示了反对:“伊比利亚半岛情况复杂,又有诸多凶悍的土著,一旦玛哥大人要是离开之后,新派去的总督又对那里的情况不熟悉,恐怕会导致新占领的伊比利亚地区不稳,这些年的努力不就白费了吗!因此玛哥大人还是继续待在伊比利亚的好,只需要把军队派遣过来就可以了。”PrestatKubbarebuttsimmediately: „FellowSirs, youshouldknow that the Iberiaarmymemberis complex, majorityare the alien racemercenaries, if commandedthemby the bystander, perhapstheywill not obey the directiongreatly, not onlycannot achieve the effect of combat, insteadwill cause the confusion. Ifcounciliswere really worried that the security of Iberianewterritory, IrecommendMirko'ssonHasdrubal the Fairto hold the postthiscommand that goes to battle with the army, hecommands the armyto defeatindigenous of attackinIberiarepeatedly, fightis experienced, is a Carthagesimilarlyraregeneral's talent!”
普雷塔库巴立刻进行了反驳:“各位大人,你们应该都知道伊比利亚的军队成员复杂,大多数都是异族雇佣兵,如果由外人来统领他们,恐怕他们不大会听从指挥,不但达不到作战的效果,反而会引起混乱。如果元老院实在是担心伊比利亚新领地的安全,我推荐希米尔科之子哈斯德鲁巴担任这次出征军队的统帅,他在伊比利亚多次率军击败来袭的土著,战斗经验丰富,是迦太基一位同样难得的将才!”Is changed intoHasdrubal the FairbyMagon, the effect is also notsame! Great idea that Magonhas! In the Hanno(Hannonian)heartsneers.
由玛哥换成哈斯德鲁巴,效果还不是一样!玛哥打的好主意!汉诺心中冷笑。Therefore, the senior statesmen who Hanno(Hannonian)sendsoppose, evenQuerexcitedshouting: „The army that provides forby the Carthagetax moneydoes not obey the order of Carthage, insteadis only willingto obey a person'sdirection, thisis not dangerous! Wedareto givesuch a person the army commandpower, butputs in the Carthagecity the possibledanger!......”
于是,汉诺派的元老们都纷纷表示反对,甚至俄克尔顿激动的喊道:“由迦太基的税金供养的军队不听从迦太基的命令,反而只愿听从一个人的指挥,这难道不危险吗!我们敢将军队指挥大权交给这样一个人,而将迦太基城置于可能的危险之中吗!……”Querthese wordscan be said asquiteexecute the heart, hesaidissue that manysenior statesmenwere worried about: The Magonidvirtuefamily'sleading memberswent toIberia, oneyearcannot return toCarthageseveraltimes, in the handis graspingonehuge quantity, hardly the army comprised of the Carthagecitizen, itselfhas madecouncilfeelto worry, nowagaingoing to battle with the command jurisdiction of armygives the Magonidvirtuefamily, obviouslythisis not the senior statesmenexpects.
俄克尔顿的这番话可说是相当诛心,偏偏他说中了很多元老担心的问题:马戈尼德家族的主要成员都去了伊比利亚,一年也回不了迦太基几次,手中又掌握着一支数量庞大的、几乎不是由迦太基公民组成的军队,本身就已经让元老院感到担忧了,如今再把出征大军的指挥权交给马戈尼德家族,这显然不是元老们所期望的。On this issue, headEss of independentis maintainingwithHanno(Hannonian)consistently.
在这个问题上,中立派的首脑艾斯亚鲁巴与汉诺保持着一致。Finally, adopted a resolutionwith the support of councilmostsenior statesmen: LetNummiBiyamilitary officerMillFiault who hold the postto go to battle witharmy'scommand, butMagondoes not needto go to battle, butIberiamustsend outno less than20,000people of armycombats.
最终,在元老院多数元老的支持下通过了一个决议:让努米比亚的军事长官米勒菲奥担任出征大军的统帅,而玛哥不用出征,但伊比利亚必须派出不少于2万人的军队作战。
The result that thisresolutionnot onlyhoped forwithMagonand the othersis entirely opposite, bigharmstheirbenefits, thereforeobtains the newsMagondraggingresolutionnot to carry out, actuallysends the envoyto carry the large sum of moneyto lobby the senior statesmentoCarthage.
这个决议不但与玛哥等人期盼的结果完全相反,也大大的有损他们的利益,因此得到消息的玛哥拖延决议不执行,却派使者携带重金到迦太基游说众元老。both sidesinwranglingback and forth, dispatch the armyincidentactuallyto be delayedtowardSicily.
双方在来回的扯皮中,往西西里派遣军队一事却一直被拖延。..........................................
……………………………………InCarthagecouncilisto go to battle when the matterdebates unceasingly, the Syracusepowwowis also conducting the vigorousargument.
就在迦太基元老院为出征的事争论不休之时,锡拉库扎议事会也同样在进行着激烈的争论。Severalyears ago, SyracuseorSicilyislandbiggestGreececity-state, evenisentireGreekthe world'smost powerfulcity-state, inoverstepping authorityto advocateunder the rule of Dionysius, the SyracusepersondefeatedpowerfulCarthaginians, conquered the mostSicilyland, becomes the overlord in Sicilyisland. Dionysiusevenalsoleadsabout100,000armiesto go north, cross-oceanattacksMagna Graecia, attemptsto expandownarea.
十几年前,锡拉库扎还是西西里岛最大的希腊城邦,甚至是整个希腊世界最强大的城邦,在僭主狄奥尼修斯的统治下,锡拉库扎人打败了强大的迦太基人,征服了大半西西里的土地,成为西西里岛的霸主。狄奥尼修斯甚至还率近十万大军北上,跨海进攻大希腊,企图扩展自己的疆域。However, in conducted ina halfyear of warwith the newTheoniaallianceat that time, the obviousstrengthoccupies the superiorSyracusepersonactuallyfinallybothfails badlyat the naval battle and ground warfare, even the Theoniaarmyalsoattacked the Sicilyisland, causing the Syracusepersonto launch the rebellion, overthrew the rule of Dionysius, Dionysius and family memberalsoencounters the betrayal of Spartato be murderedfinally.
然而,在同当时新崛起的戴奥尼亚联盟进行了半年的战争中,明显实力占优的锡拉库扎人却最终在海战和陆战双双遭受惨败,甚至戴奥尼亚的军队还攻上了西西里岛,导致锡拉库扎人发动了叛乱,推翻了狄奥尼修斯的统治,狄奥尼修斯及其家人最终也遭到斯巴达的背叛而被谋杀。
The Syracuseperson who liberatesfrom the dictatorial rule of Dionysiusdecidesno longerto make same mistakes over again, the peopleentrustedto form a brand-newSyracusedemocraticgovernmentinHerolis that overthrowing the process of Dionysiusrule the key leaderis affecting.
从狄奥尼修斯的独裁统治下解放的锡拉库扎人决定不再重蹈覆辙,民众们委托在推翻狄奥尼修斯统治的过程中起着主要领导作用的赫罗利斯组建一个全新的锡拉库扎民主政府。However, Herolishas the idea. WhenDionysiusrules, hehas taken the post of the city-stateimportantpublic service, simultaneouslyhehas also conscientiously studied the political system of Theonia, thereforeheopposesDionysius , because Dionysiusis cruel and oppressionto the people are too heavy, does not meanhiscompleteapprovalto the democraticsystem. On the contrary, hethinks that democratic systemslack, without the efficiency, is easyto cause the confusion, particularlyinSyracuseexperienced the disastrous defeat, to rapidlyrestore the national strengthinurgently needed the situation, should the concentration of power, rapidmadevariousresolutions that helpedcity-statedevelop.
但是,赫罗利斯却另有想法。在狄奥尼修斯统治期间,他担任过城邦重要的公职,同时他还认真研究过戴奥尼亚的政治体制,因此他反对狄奥尼修斯,是因为狄奥尼修斯的过于残暴和对民众的压迫太重,并不意味着他对民主制的完全认同。相反,他认为民主制度过于的自由散漫,没有效率,容易造成混乱,尤其是在锡拉库扎经历了惨败、急需要快速恢复国力的情况下,更应该将权力集中,迅速的作出各种有利于城邦发展的决议。Therefore, hedoes not form the newgovernment, insteaduses various statusfrequentpromulgationresolutions of wartimehighestleader, buttheseresolutionswith others had often not discussed that butbyhimwas decidedalone, thisled topeople'scontroversy.
因此,他迟迟不组建新的政府,反而利用自己战时最高领导者的身份频繁的颁布各种决议,而这些决议往往都是未与其他人商议而由他独自决定的,这遭到了民众的非议。During this period, twomattersmakehim the prestigeinpeoplesignificantlyreduce.
在这期间,有两件事让他在民众中的声望大幅度降低。
The firstmatter, a SyracuseonceDemocratic Partyimportant personagesafeflatterrootNicebecause ofstronglyopposed that the rule of Dionysiuswas arrested, originallymustbe shall be sentenced to the capital punishment, heactuallybecause of the help of friend, escaped from the captivityunexpectedly, andfledSicily. After the rule of Dionysiuswas overthrown, heleadsseveralwarshipsandsomesoldiersunexpectedlyreturned toSyracuse.
第一件事,锡拉库扎曾经的一位民主派重要人物泰阿根尼斯因强烈反对狄奥尼修斯的统治而被逮捕,本来要被处以极刑,他却因为朋友的帮助,居然逃脱了囚禁,并且逃离了西西里。在狄奥尼修斯的统治被推翻之后,他居然带着几艘战船和一些士兵返回了锡拉库扎。Peoplebeforehimrevolts against the Dionysiusheroic deed, conducted warmwelcometohisarrival, andelectsthispersoninecclesiais the general, hopes that hecanenter the Syracusewartimegeneralexecutive committee, keeps in balancepower that Herolisinflatesday by day.
民众们基于他以前反抗狄奥尼修斯的英雄事迹,对他的到来进行了热烈的欢迎,并且在公民大会中选举此人为将军,希望他能进入锡拉库扎的战时将军执行委员会,制衡赫罗利斯日益膨胀的权力。ButHerolisoverruled the ecclesiaelection resultunexpectedly, andstressed that „anyresolutionallneedsto solicithisagreeing.”Thismattermakes the peopleveryindignant.
但赫罗利斯居然否决了公民大会的选举结果,并且强调“任何决议皆需要征得他的首肯。”这件事让民众非常的气愤。Howeverin a resolution of formerHerolispromulgation, onceassigneda lot offertileland allocationtomercenariesDionysiusto the harborcivilians, andgivestheircompletecivil rights, thereforeobtained the completesupport of harbor areaPeopleandfreeman.
但是在之前赫罗利斯颁布的一项决议中,将狄奥尼修斯曾经分配给雇佣兵们的大量肥沃土地分配给了港口的平民,并且赋予他们完全的公民权,因此得到了港口区民众和自由民的完全拥护。In addition, at the wartimegeneralexecutive committee, FarletCousse, StacyKaess...... and the othersare the Herolisfriends, ishissupporter, thereforeseems likehisrightnot to be possibleto shake.
此外,战时将军执行委员会中,法莱库斯、斯泰西科斯……等人都是赫罗利斯的朋友,是他的支持者,因此看起来似乎他的权利无可撼动。
The secondmatter, isTheonia, although the agreementreleases the Syracusesoldier and sailor who capture, butDavosput forward the condition, requestingSyracuseto offer the war reparations, tomake up the Syracusearmyto the damage that Magna Graeciacreates, is the ransoms of thesecaptives.
第二件事,就是戴奥尼亚虽然同意释放所俘虏的锡拉库扎士兵和水手,但是戴弗斯却提出了条件,要求锡拉库萨作出战争赔偿,以弥补锡拉库扎军队对大希腊所造成的损坏,同时也是这些俘虏的赎身钱。
