v8 Chapter 169： convince

"Father, now Rome is changing! Civilians like Li Si Nius, Freuz...and not all of them are military and political officials! The Camilles dictator once said, 'The future Senate will be open to Roman civilians!' ”

"Hey, Camillas! That was the time when he ordered the arrest of our civilian leader Marcus! Don't trust the words of the nobles. We used to be deceived by them, always giving up the battle at a critical time, and finally what will lead to Rome. No change! Children, the Li Si Nius family is a nobleman among the civilians, and Freuz is also. They are closely related to the nobility, not because we can compare it. You don’t have any extravagance! But now we don’t use it. Worry about this, because the nobility in the city of Rome has been completely defeated!"

"What do you mean?"

“The Diaonians announced the cancellation of all our debts! They announced that 'as long as there are Roman civilians who are willing to become Diaonian citizens, they can be allocated to fertile land and comfortable homes!' They also announced that 'anything becomes Dionia Citizens of Roman civilians can apply to serve as kingdom public officials, and through political achievements, they eventually become veterans '!..."

"Father, the Diaonians are enemies! They are enemies who have invaded our homeland! Anything they say is a lie, just to deceive us not to resist their aggression!"

"No, they didn't deceive! They found out the paper rolls and planks that recorded the debts in all the noble houses in the city of Rome, and destroyed them all in the square! They held together the family of the nobles and confiscated their houses and land. They began to be distributed to the Roman civilians who joined Dionia! They also let a Roman civilian who was a slave because of debts become a city official! I also specifically asked people to inquire, there are many veterans of the Kingdom of Dionia. Both are born low, so --"

"Father! No matter what the people of the Dayonians did, it was true or false. When we regained the city of Rome, it was useless! On the contrary, these Romans who had the benefits of the Diaonians would inevitably receive The Supreme Court is seriously punished!"

"Recapture the city of Rome? Then you can do it! Look at the scars on my body. Although I have never been a squadron leader, I have participated in more battles than you. I know very well about a war. Winning, is not to see which side of the soldiers are more, more brave, more obedient orders, arms and armor better, right? When the Diaonians attacked the city, although I did not go to the city to fight, but fled home The neighbors have learned in detail that the braveness of the soldiers of the Dionys is not worse than that of the Roman citizens, but their armor weapons and siege devices far exceed us. They have conquered the city of Rome, but they can not invade the people in the city, and they also observe discipline. More than a Roman citizen -"

"We have 70,000 troops! Our commander is Camillaus! We will definitely retake the city of Rome! Father, don't say it again, hurry with me to rest in the station, wait for us to drive away the Diaonians, the family You can be reunited!"

"Is Camillas stronger than the King of Denia in victorious battles?! 70,000 people can take down the Roman city with 50,000 defenses!! Sexus, your head is confused, you are under your command. Soldiers, they are very clear!"

Upon his father's reminder, Sextus discovered that some of his men were silent, some of them were embarrassed, and more were surrounded by the old people, asking about the situation in the city. Very excited.

Sextus thought of this: In this squadron he himself rate, there are not many citizens who grew up in Rome since he was a child. Most of them are the refugees who joined Rome in the past ten years. They are against Rome. The sense of identity is not strong, I am afraid I can't stand this kind of temptation.

So he loudly reminded the soldiers: "Don't forget that the Diaonians are aliens. They don't believe in Jupiter, Juno, Vista! They have kings! We can't go to such a place with Rome. A completely different alien country!"

"Rome is a city-state with many ethnic groups. Diaonia is also said. Many aliens are said to have become their veterans, and their kings have personally worshipped the Temple of Diana, the Temple of Vista, and even Our civilian gods, Kellys, Lieber, and Libera, show that Diaonia completely allows us to have our own gods! As for saying that they have kings, there is nothing to worry about, don’t forget those When the Roman aristocracy killed Marcus, he was convicted of being a king, but he was a Roman hero who really cared about our civilians! So, it is not important to have a king. What is important is whether we can treat us more fairly. Civilians, let us not have to worry about debt, become slaves, but can get land, power?!" Another old man said loudly.

The last few words made the soldiers look bright.

"Yeah, just like I am now divided into five acres of land south of the river port and on the banks of the Tiber River. It is far more fertile than the land I used to be in the west of the city, and it is much more convenient to farm." Sexus The father patted his injured leg and said with pleasure: "My family also moved to the Palatine Hill and lived in my former creditor - a large house belonging to the Claudius clan. I used to At the door of the house, pray for them to delay my debt repayment period... Hahaha, now I can be the owner of the house!"

"Father, you...you..." Sykestus heard this and felt his eyes black.

"Yes, I have applied to become a citizen of Dioria, sharing the property of the former Claudius clan, according to the style of the clan of their clan, will definitely regard our family as a deadly enemy, you are still hesitating What!” The old man suddenly screamed.

"You are crazy! Go and provoke the Claudius clan!!" Sextus responded with anger, his face full of fear.

"It's not just your father who provoked the nobility. Many of the civilians in the city are now contaminated with the blood of nobles and diners. They used to treat us cruelly. It is now our turn to retaliate!" Another old man is on the sidelines Hate said.

His words not only received the response of other old people, but even many soldiers expressed their approval.

Sextus became silent.

At this time, his father once again persuaded: "Children, the Roman Chief Executive Axis from Turui announced an order today. In two days, the civilians of the whole city of Rome will go to the square to gather the members. Formed the local council of Rome, its role is to supervise and assist the Roman chief executive to govern the city, any civilian can participate in the registration, I have decided to stand for election.

And... The Chief Executive of Assisi also announced that he would divide the city of Rome into nine urban areas. Since we don’t have much administrative experience, we don’t know much about the laws and institutions of the Kingdom of Dionia. A Demo sergeant in a city temporarily has officials from the Kingdom of Dionia, but an adjutant of Demo will be selected among Roman civilians. They will also learn from the experience of the government in order to help the governor manage the Roman city, so that he will be more important in the future. Position...

An important condition for selecting these deputies to Demo is to speak Greek in order to better communicate with the Dionian officials. Sexus, you have studied Greek, I hope that you can become the deputy of Dema in the city of Ciliou! ”

Sextus is still silent.

Not only the old people are watching him, but the soldiers are also watching him, especially those who are hesitant to look forward to the decision of the squad leader to help them finally make up their minds.

"We... so into the city of Rome, the Diaonians really don't doubt us, attack us?" When Sykestus finally said this, the old people showed a smile, the vast majority The soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, some soldiers worried and warned: "Let us not take weapons into the city? In case the Devonians repent, we are not like a lamb into the wolf!"

This immediately caused the anger of the old people: "Stupid! I will put my child in danger! You can not believe the Diaonians, but how can you not trust your parents!..."

“Are we going into Rome now?” Sextus interrupted their complaints.

"How is it possible! Our children have not seen it yet!" Some old people protested.

"In order to enable Dionia to finally defeat the Roman aristocracy, we must let more civilians leave the army led by Camilos, return to Rome and join Dionia, so as to weaken the strength of the Roman nobility. Defend the benefits we just got!” Sykestus’s father shouted loudly.

Now that he has decided to defect from Rome, Sextus has completely settled his mind to consider the way out of these people. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said to the old people: "You should know that the dictator Camillaus has always been right. The alert requirements of the camp are very strict. You can't get in, or you should go to the camp of the people first. There are also many civilians worthy of you to get together. And the soldiers and I returned to the camp and quietly told the changes in Rome. The civilian soldiers, of course, include your loved ones. After dark, all the soldiers we are willing to leave will join the camp and join you and return to Rome!"

"Okay, just do it!" Sykestus's father took the lead and agreed.

..........................................

During this time, I have been worried about the invasion of the Dionyrian army and the collapse of the Roman city. Coupled with the continuous marching these past few days, Camillaus has not had a good rest, and he has been forced by the Davis’s plan. I had a good night's sleep, and even dreamed of driving away the Dionyrians and leading the army into the Roman city.
