Sesta himself agrees and expresses his gratitude to Daves for his recommendation. The other veterans have no objections. I am afraid that the only objection is Anticris in Amendorara. He has to continue to be the chief of the fire department. The position serves the public.
At the same time, Daves also asked Asistes to serve as Sesta’s clerk, assist Sesta to deal with Niutum’s affairs, implement the policy against the Lucanians, and also let Bagu Le served as the special inspector of Niutum, dealing with various disputes and contradictions in the city, and coordinating the relationship between the Lucanians and the Greeks... and so on.
After capturing Niutum, the first thing Sesta did was to screen out the captives: the real Niutum and their affiliates and family members who were originally dominant were all imprisoned and forced to Join the small tribe of Niutum, then persuade them to submit. He gave the task to Baggul.
The second thing is to release the slave. There are slaves in Niutum, and there are many, mainly from two sources: one is the Greeks, they were looted by the Lucanians, and most of them were Tury, because Niutum was close to Turi Iraq will be harassed every year. Especially after the defeat of the Turri army last year, they followed the Lukaria coalition forces into the Subari Plain and captured many Turi people; followed by the Lukaria, mainly led by Grumentum. The tribes defeated by the tribal coalition and unwilling to obey Niutum, these Lucanian slaves were handed over to Baggul and Asistus.
And these Greek slaves were summoned by Sesta outside the city gate. Looking at these skinny Greeks who were once well-clothed and well-fed, and even the women were naked and dull... Sesta was so touched, he said emotionally: "Greeks, you have suffered. Today Hades sent us the Tua Alliance to rescue you and avenge you!"
After speaking, most of the slaves burst into tears.
Sesta gave an order, and the soldiers pressed Ram and other captured nearly 700 people naked, and then issued them to the Greek slaves with spears and sabers. He said loudly: "Anyone who insults you, you You can get revenge!"
Asistes saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly stopped Setta and said, "My lord, you can't do this, you are against the order of the Senate!"
"So what!" Sesta pointed to the Greek slaves, and said angrily: "Look at them! Any Greek who sees these will choose to do like me! The Archon was in the picture before Riy killed General Crotone and told the Greeks that the Tua Alliance should not be messed with! Today I want to let the Lucanians know that the Greeks can't mess with it!"
As he was talking, a male Greek slave who was uncontrollable in hatred was howling, holding a spear in both hands, rushing up and stabbing a captive to his knees.
With this example, other slaves rushed to assassinate them one after another. The captives screamed in horror, knowing that the disaster was approaching, and began to try to resist. The soldiers who surrounded them use their round shields to knock them down, stifle their attempts, and then let the slaves slaughter them...
The killing lasted to the end, but failed to continue, because the remaining prisoners were desperately protected by Greek female slaves...
Sesta was surprised, and Asistes hurried forward to ask about the situation. After returning, he told Sesta with a sad expression: "These women either gave birth to children after being insulted by these captives, or they were pregnant. Pregnancy...Poor Greek women!...It is all because Greek men are unbelievable and unable to protect them, that makes them fall into such a tragic situation!...sir, are you still going to kill?"
"Damn Lucanians!" Sesta cursed fiercely, then raised his hand and said coldly: "Stop!"
After the order was issued, there were still slaves unwillingly brandishing their spears, threatening to let the female slave who was blocking the Lukanians go away, and the soldiers immediately went up and disarmed them.
Sesta took a few steps forward, stepped on a corpse, and shouted to the Greek slaves: "Listen! The newly passed bill of the Tua League stipulates that, Citizens of Amendoras or slaves of Tury and Amendoras (because in a Greek city-state, a woman in this city-state cannot become a citizen, but she belongs to the citizens of the city-state), will automatically become a citizen of the Tua Union A member of the Tua Union! If you are not a slave to Tua Union and Amendorara, if you are willing to stay in the Tua Union, you can apply to become a preliminary citizen of the Tua Union after two years of living, and another three years, if you meet the requirements , You can become official citizens! "Would you like to stay in Niutum or go back to Turiyi?"
Most male slaves said they wanted to return to Turri, but most women hesitated: because the Greek city-states of this era have very strict requirements for female chastity, not only before marriage, especially after marriage, housewives They can only stay in the house and cannot go in public places. They must manage housework as diligently and thriftily like a bee. Even the design of the house takes into account the possibility of preventing the wife from derailing. Therefore, the bedrooms of traditional Greek couples are on the second floor with the only staircase. The opening is at the door of the living room, allowing the master and slaves to see the housewife's entry and exit. In order to prevent the husband from getting tired of his wife and lingering in the brothel for a long time, causing the resentment of the wife who keeps the harem alone, some city-states even stipulate the number of citizens' **. For example, Solon of Athens stipulated in the Athens law he advocated:' Having **** three times a month is enough care for a chaste citizen's wife. ’
Now a large number of Greek women who have been alien slaves for a long time have given birth to children, and some have big bellies... How will they face the family and the outside world when they return to Turei? ! Every female slave dare not think about it, face it...
At this moment, Asistes stood up and said loudly: "At the proposal of Lord Daves, the life-long consul of the Tua League, and passed a law in the Senate, "Any Lucania Everyone who marries a Tua Union woman as his wife will automatically become a preliminary citizen of the Tua Union, and will become a full citizen after two years, and enjoy the right to the Union’s allotment and two years of tax exemption. Any Greek man marries a Tua Union member Lucaria women who are wives and willing to become citizens of the Tua League will automatically obtain preliminary citizenship, and they will become full citizens after two years. They will also enjoy the rights to the alliance’s allocation of land and two years of tax exemption.'"
"...Is this true?" The female slaves couldn't believe their ears, and someone boldly asked.
"Of course it is true! Couples who get married as mentioned before can immediately go to Niutum's town hall to register...No, the mansion of the chieftain!" Sesta said affirmatively.
These Greek female slaves shed tears of excitement like a long drought in the rain. They knew that as long as there is this law, as long as Niutum remains in the hands of the Tua Alliance, they can live here with their heads upright. Piece of land! The Archon Daves is really a good person who thinks about them!
Those Greek male slaves who weren’t the original Turíy citizens hesitated for a while and also made a decision: Compared to Turíy it took a long time to become a full-fledged citizen, while marrying a Lucaria woman can immediately enjoy Many benefits seem more attractive!
Asistus could guess: This bill will soon be announced in Turrii and Amendorara. I don’t know how many free people will come to Niutum to marry A Lucanian woman broke her head!
He looked at the execution ground where corpses were piled up into hills and blood was flowing into rivers, and he thought: At least a large number of widows in Niutum will be taken care of.
………………………
The **** scene created by Setta outside the city gate shocked all the Lucanians in the city, and the families who had lost their loved ones wept quietly in fear.
Even in the evening, when Bagul banqueted Xima, Ulaza and other familiar Lucanians, they were still trembling.
"Sit down! Sit down! We are all old friends, we all sit down!..." Baggul subconsciously learned the look and tone of Daves when he was entertaining him before, but the guests seemed not so. Relax.
"Xima, why haven't you seen Abinu?" Bagul glanced at the crowd and asked.
"Abinu... once he had an argument with Udler's son Tamaru and was killed by them!" Xima said sadly.
"Damn Utrecht! Damn the big tribes that oppress us! Where is this answer Maru now?!" Baggul roared angrily.
"He is dead! The last time he set out for Turíy, he died in the hands of the Greeks like his father Udler!" Ulazar glanced at Asistus beside Baggul. , Said gleefully.
"Hey, it's a pity that I can't avenge him personally! But, that's good, Abinu can serve the mountain **** with peace of mind!" Bagul sighed and returned to peace.
At this time, someone among the guests said: "Utrecht, Ram and others oppress us, wouldn't the Greeks oppress us?! Wouldn't they kill us like Ram and them before?! "
"Yes! Yes! Today the Greeks killed more than 500 surrendered Lucanians outside the city!"
"Soon they will kill us like cows and sheep!"
……
There was a commotion among the guests, venting their dissatisfaction with the Greeks loudly.
At this time, Asistes felt the impact of the previous massacre outside the city on the hearts of the people. He had to stand up and say: "Our Tua Alliance will never oppress you! We--"
"How can a Greek who speaks Lukalia participate in a Lucanian gathering?!!!" A voice among the guests interrupted Asistes.
"Of course he can!" At this moment, Bagul did not wait for the guests to cause a commotion again, and immediately said: "He is the son-in-law of Lucaria, my brother-in-law, Tina's husband!"
