Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This amount of compensation is of course expensive. In many negotiations with Dionia, Herolis was finally forced to agree to pay for war reparations, which is why he wants to concentrate on developing Syracuse as soon as possible and let Syracuse get out of the battle as soon as possible. the reason.

However, the people of Syracuse found that the Syracuse civics and sailors who were released were missing some people.

And Raleigh immediately sent someone to negotiate with Dionya, but the Daonian officials’ response made them feel helpless: due to the fierce attack of the Syracuse army, Dionia was on the verge of extinction, in order to With the food support of Carthage, they had to agree to the other's request and provided some Syracuse prisoners to Carthage.

Hercules had no choice but to make a fuss about the war reparations and strongly urged Dionia to cut some of the compensation.

However, the people of Syracuse believe that: Herriots did not do her best to let the Syracuse become a slave to Carthage.

The people were disappointed with him, including many port area civilians, because many of the unreturned prisoners were Syracuse sailors.

At this time, Davers also ordered the secret agents lurking in Syracuse to spread unfavorable rumors about Herolis, because Davers knew that many of the resolutions made by Herros were correct, but he I don't want to see the rise of Syracuse.

As a result, the public's dissatisfaction and suspicion of Herolis, many people rumored underneath: Hellalis wants to be the second Dionysius.

And in this period of turbulent humanity, according to the proposal issued by Khullis, Faxi Pesas, Damocles... these generals of the original Dionysius who should have been severely punished And the minister suddenly broke away from imprisonment, with some people dissatisfied with Herollis, escaped from the city of Syracuse, and joined with the mercenaries of Masias wandering in the mountains to the west, actually occupied the tin The sub-state of La Cuza, the small town of Akeley.

Of course, Herolis could not allow Dionysius's embers to be in chaos in the territory of Syracuse, so he decided to personally lead the team to go out, and before he left, he was married to Falecus, Cuccias, Stacey. Kos and others guarded the city of Syracuse. After all, he also knew that the political situation was somewhat unstable recently.

Who knows that Hololis has just led his troops to Akeley. When he was attacking the city, he got a bad news: the rebellion in the city of Syracuse, the citizen assembly not only re-elected the general, but also unanimously passed the proposal to try the dictatorship. Hercules.

Why is it possible to oust Herlos from the stage in Syracuse? That is because of the support of Falekus, Cuccias, Stacycos and others.

It turned out that these close friends of Herolith deeply felt that after taking up the leader of Syracuse, Herollis became arbitrarily and could not listen to their opinions. Although they were also members of the executive committee, they had almost no Real power, of course, there is dissatisfaction in my heart. Coupled with the influence of rumors in the city, they are worried that Hellalis will really become a dictator. So after Herris led the city, under the persuasion of Taiargenis, they resolutely chose to cooperate with the democrats and abandon Herlos.

Herlos heard the city's chaos and immediately led the army back to the division, trying to calm the situation quickly. Who knows that they have not arrived in the city of Syracuse, and the soldiers under them have ran for most of them.

Seeing that things are no longer possible, Herollis had to escape from Syracuse by boat with a confidant.

He did not choose to flee to the Kingdom of Dionia, who had helped him to overthrow Dionysius, and did not choose to flee to Syracuse’s former spartan Sparta, but chose Syracuse’s former motherland, Collins. . It was already three years in the Kingdom of Dionia (391 BC), and the Corinth War had come to an end.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Herros, the democrats who had the power in the city of Syracuse elected the 25 generals headed by Stesikos and Falekus to manage the city-state affairs through the Citizens' Congress. They also abolished some of the bills enacted by Khullis when they were in power, including "the war reparations against Dionia and the land allocated to civilians in the port area."

This not only worsened the diplomatic environment of Syracuse, but also made the people in the port area very angry.

At the same time, Taigenes also proposed: to aggravate the citizens who once worked for Dionysius. This has caused more panic among many people in the city.

The King of Dionys, Davers, ordered the eighth army of Katanai and the northern border of Syracuse to pose an imposing manner to attack Syracuse.

In the end, the new Syracuse generals expressed their submission and had to increase the amount of war compensation. For the civilians who caused riots in the port, Taigenes and others did not mercilessly send troops to suppress.

At this time, Faxi Pesas and Masias led the rebel army in Ackley to Syracuse and made the export number "to avenge the citizens who once served to Dionysius." "This slogan has actually gained the approval of many people in Syracuse."

Therefore, Taiaggenis led the unsettled civic soldiers out of the city, and they were defeated by the rebels who were less than their number of Faxi Pesas and had to retreat into the city.

Both Faxi Pesas and Masias are experienced generals and very familiar with the city of Syracuse. Faxi Pesas pretended to storm the southern city of Syracuse, but Masias quickly flew north to the mountains with a handful of soldiers, and rushed to the north wall of Syracuse, sneaked into the Hector gate, so broke into In the city, enter the Poppicle area.

The people in the city were shocked.

At this critical moment, the executive committee of the generals, composed of 25 generals, is discussing who should be held responsible for the loss of the city, and at the same time arguing over how to defend the enemy, there is no specific measure. Until the army of Masias approached the inner city, the generals hurriedly put together the troops to meet the enemy, and the result was naturally a failure.

The panicked democrats had to retreat to the island of Ortigia, and Faxi Pesas also entered the city and joined with Masias. His former mercenaries took the opportunity to retaliate in the city, and the people were miserable. .

Herris, who is far from Corinth, has been paying attention to the dynamics of Syracuse, and now, after learning the horrors of the current people, how can he stand by as a patriot. So he asked the Corinthian government for some reinforcements and led them to return to Ortigia by boat.

At this time, it was already the sixth year of the Kingdom of Dionia (388 years BC). The people of Syracuse warmly welcomed the return of Herolis and asked them to forgive their betrayal.

Herlos published a touching speech on the island of Ortigia. He said: "..." No matter how the Syracuse people treat him, he will come to protect the country and the people here. If he can't save his mother, he would rather burn himself on the ruins of the motherland! ......"

The people of Syracuse, including their friends and political opponents who opposed him in the past, were deeply moved by his words. The people shouted: "Save Syracuse!!! Save Syracuse!!!..."

Herollis saw high morale and the people's hearts were available. He immediately formed an army, opened the long-closed city gate of Ortigia, rushed out of the isthmus, and launched a fierce attack on the rebels.

Faxi Pesas and Masias rushed to the battle.

The people in the city heard that the leader was Herris, and they also responded.

The rebel army lost in a row, and eventually Marcias died, Faxi Pesas was captured, and the rebels were basically ruined.

The prestige of Herris, who won the victory, was greatly increased. Therefore, he did not hold the citizen assembly, and he cancelled the general executive committee and deprived the 25 generals of Taigenes, Falecus... They actually did not object to this.

This time, he regained power, and Hellalis clearly established a regime similar to Dionya in Syracuse and at the same time combining the Corinthian system.

This is a polity that dominates the majority by a small number of elites. For this reason, he relies more on the Corinthians to help him complete the task of this conversion system.

The turmoil in Syracuse in recent years has caused the people to suffer, and with Herris regaining the bill he had enacted in Syracuse, many people have benefited, so the people have defaulted. These changes in Politics, seemingly dictatorial, did not express strong opposition. The political enemies of Herolis, such as Taigenes, Falecus, and others, did not have the support of the people. They also looked down on the big waves, and the political situation in Syracuse began to stabilize.

The rule of Herolith is gradually stabilizing ~www.readwn.com~ but in this steady, it is dangerous.

Among the Corinthians who followed Hercules to Syracuse, there was a young aristocrat named Andemacus who, because of his bravery, won the appreciation of Herolis and served as a defender in the city of Syracuse. The chief of the city guard, who also serves as the court captain of Herolus. But he took the achievements of Herolus and tried to replace it.

In the eight years of the Kingdom of Dionia (386 BC), when he went to the Temple of Apollo in Herros, the killer of Andemacus bought the Syracuse’s plenipotentious general and then Andemacus succumbed to the supreme power of Syracuse.

In order to consolidate his power, he raised the Corinthians, and the Syracuse people complained about this.

A few months later, at the harvest celebrations in Demeter, the will of Herolis revealed the truth about her husband’s assassination.

The people were angry and they gathered to overthrow the rule of Andemacus.

Andemacus also gathered the army to suppress, but in the end he suffered a fiasco, and I also died in the chaos.
