Hilde doesn't abuse them either.
However, from the perspective of ruling, naked ruling behavior requires Hilde and others to not think about these things with emotion. These young women are still at childbearing age, and the children they give birth to are the future of this empire, especially in this era when population is more important than anything else. Hilde's current national population is only 700,000 to 800,000, less than one twentieth of the Persian Empire. Increasing fertility and expanding the population is also something Hilde must consider.
Therefore, these women were arranged to live in the new capital with the soldiers. Hilde's purpose was simple, which was to promote marriage. The personal problems of the single soldiers stationed in Upper Thrace for a long time could also be solved at this time. In ancient times, marriage was not so particular. As long as two people were attracted to each other, they were considered married. As long as it was not forced, everything else was allowed.
And the purpose of doing this.
We hope to focus on soldiers, women and war orphans.
Build new cities.
In this way, the new city will have high development prospects in a short period of time.
Soon, the relocation plan of Adlicia City began. Hilde was a person who acted quickly and decisively, and she didn't like to waste time. Since she had made a decision, she would do it immediately. This was Hilde's style of doing things. And this matter was also the same. After Hilde confirmed that the preliminary preparations had been almost completed, she ordered the army to start the relocation operation.
Those Adrichians who were arrogant and hostile to Hilde at the beginning.
This time I was completely panicked.
When they knew they were leaving the city.
Only then did I realize how stupid my previous behavior was.
"Sitalces! Sitalces!"
"Ok?"
When Sitalses led the soldiers to search for people from house to house, several middle-aged men came over and said calmly, "Sitalses, our previous words were a bit too much. We are really sorry! You, you are still an Adrichian, and you are the pride of us Adrichians!"
"Thank you."
Sitalses responded to such praise.
Acting calmly.
"Well, can we not leave Adelisia? All our things are here, and our family is here too."
"No, this is the order of His Majesty. The environment here in Adlisia is harsh and not suitable for continued survival. Therefore, we have selected a new address. There is abundant grass and water, and the environment is excellent. As long as you are willing to farm, you can support yourself. It is a very good place. But... you probably can't go." Although Sitalses had a faint smile on his face, there was no mercy in his words.
After listening to what Sitalses said.
The faces of these Adlishians changed.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Your Majesty has ordered that all men and the elderly be relocated to other provinces."
"How can this be possible! Where are my wife and children?"
"I'm sorry, you have to say goodbye."
Sitalses said coldly: "Remember, everything that happened today is the result of your own behavior during this period. I sympathize with you. It is indeed very hard to be separated from your family. However, for the future of the empire and for a more peaceful life, you must be sacrificed. You should feel fortunate, because if it were another monarch, you would only be greeted with the fate of massacre."
"No! You can't do this!"
The middle-aged man walked towards Sitalses excitedly.
"I won't leave! My wife and children won't leave either!"
"Don't come closer!"
The soldiers around Sitalses stopped the man with spears.
However, the man did not understand Greek at all.
When he saw the aggressive soldiers, he immediately lost his mind and planned to push aside the spears and rush towards Sitalses to argue. But at this moment, the soldiers next to him immediately thrust their spears into the man's body. More than a dozen spears immediately pierced the man's body. He was stabbed to death by the soldiers before he could even say the next word. When Sitalses saw this scene, he said to the Adrichians around him: "Everyone, watch your behavior!"
Different treatment methods for the seventh section of the third tune
Facing sudden changes.
The Adrichians were suddenly at a loss.
They thought that the soldiers of the Byzantine Kingdom would treat them as before, and continue to implement the non-violent rule of Damianos and Sitalces. They even took this method for granted, but they also ignored that they were now citizens of the Byzantine Kingdom and were ruled. In this barbaric and brutal world, it was not an exaggeration for them to be massacred directly for their actions.
It was because the Byzantine Empire was so good to them.
It makes them become complacent.
Forget the cruelty of this world.
Seeing the man being stabbed to death, the other Adelisians hid away in fear.
"... Let's go on."
Sitalses, now very disappointed.
He was worried that the sudden violence might cause these Adrichians to rebel, but in the end, faced with such a situation, they had no courage at all and chose to run away directly. Sure enough... the long-term comfortable life, coupled with the conciliatory policy of the Byzantine Kingdom, made this group of people treat the rulers of the Byzantine Kingdom with an attitude of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Thinking of this, Sitalses felt a little sad. He didn't want to see such a thing.
But there is no other way.
The path is chosen by themselves.
Come to this part today.
It's their own fault.
However, Sitalses felt sorry for Adlicia. After that, the city would be completely wiped off the map. And the Adlicians would become a symbol of history and disappear in history. In the end, there would be a unified name to represent everyone, and that was the Byzantines.
Sitalces continued to tell himself.
He is a Byzantine.
Although he is a Thracian, he is also an Adrician.
But the most important thing is the fact that he is Byzantine.
After making up his mind, Sitalses led his men to continue investigating and counting from house to house. At the same time, Hilde's decision spread throughout Adlisia. The whole of Adlisia was in grief, and some of them tried to find Hilde, but now Hilde lived deep in the military camp. If these people came to the gate of the military camp, they would be driven away directly, not to mention meeting Hilde directly. And Hilde was too lazy to talk to these people.
She stayed in her tent.
In front of him was the data compiled by Damianos.
There is also a detailed plan for migration.
Sophia sat gently beside Hilde, and then put the cut fruit into Hilde's mouth. This cherry, which is produced in the high mountains of Thrace, tastes very sweet and sour, and is a delicacy that is hard to find in Athens and Byzantium. However, Sophia looked outside the tent with some concern, and then asked, "Sissi, are you really okay? If we do this, the whole Adlisia will be torn apart by us. Won't they hate us?"
"meeting."
Hilde raised her head and said with a smile:
"But so what?"
"what?"
"Even if they hate us, it is not as important as their desire to survive. We ask them to leave this land, and after they arrive at their new residence, they will need to rely on themselves to survive. Just to survive, they must try their best. So, I am not worried at all whether they will hate us or do something bad to us, because they can't do anything." After reading the plan submitted by Damianos, Hilde ate the cherries given by Sophia in one bite.
"Besides, I gave them a chance."
"Well...that's true."
"It's their own fault. They are not doing their best."
Hilde sighed helplessly.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it.
This is a difficult situation for Hilde.
"Xixi, what are your plans next?"
"After the statistics are completed, the troops will be divided into two groups to escort these people to where they want to go, and we will take some people to the future destination of Upper Thrace Province. It is the northern hilly area. After the new city begins to be built, we will prepare to return." Hilde stretched his body and said to Sophia, "After we go back, we may have to go to another place. Can you guess where it is?"
"Where? To Samos?"
"What am I going to do in Samos?"
Hilde shook her head.
"Guess again."
"Then, could it be Miletus? Didn't Persia give Miletus to us?"
"Miletus is now an empty city, and we cannot tell people back home about this. Otherwise, the Milesians who have just settled around Byzantium will definitely want to go home, and that won't work. At least, we have to wait until we conquer the entire Ionia. Now is not the right time to go."
Hilde said this with a smirk on her face.
It felt like someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Sophia.
Sophia puffed out her lips and then hugged Hilde's arms.
"Sissi, what are you going to say?"
"Don't guess anymore?"
"Stop guessing. Tell me where that is."
Sophia's curiosity was also aroused.
Hilde kept everyone in suspense until he finally said, "Of course it's Athens."
"Athens? We're going back!?"
"We're not going back... Athens is no longer our home. We went there to discuss things with Pericles." Hilde smiled helplessly. "Oh, it gives me a headache just thinking about it. We also have to meet that guy Pericles. Oh, I don't know how the people who met me before will look at me after I go back."
“They will definitely think you are amazing!”
Sophia squeezed Hilde's hand tightly.
"You are returning home in glory."
"Ah... I'm not that happy."
"But Pericles wanted your life and even arranged assassins to murder you on the ship... Moreover, I have seen everything Pericles has done to you from the past to the present. He never regarded you as his own daughter, but only as his shame. He ignored you and even hated you since you were a child. I also know that he always wanted to abandon you. It was Lady Aspasia who tried her best to protect you and saved you."
"Well, I know everything."
Thinking about the more than ten years I have spent here.
Hilde was full of helplessness.
"But, this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."
"Sissi..."
"Do not worry."
The 3rd tune, the 8th section, the way forward
Hilde comforted Sophia.
Hilde herself was reluctant to return to Athens.
However, for his own plans, returning to Athens was inevitable. In order to contact the Delian League, or even directly join the Delian League, these actions required contact with Athens. Although Athens was a city-state with a population of about 200,000, it was already a weak existence compared to the 700,000 population of the Byzantine Empire, but Hilde knew very well that Athens, with hundreds of cutting-edge warships, was still the most powerful naval force in the Aegean Sea.
Although Athens has a small population.
But it is not weak at all.
Now we have the oracle, who can resist the attack of the Spartans.
Therefore, Hilde would go back to see what Athens had become. At the same time, she was actually quite interested in her father's reaction. Seeing his abandoned daughter come back as the queen of a kingdom, Pericles' expression would probably be very interesting... However, Hilde felt that according to Pericles' character, he might forget all this for the benefit of the city-state.
The kind that is for political gain.
The act of abandoning all of one's emotions.
Hilde was the most despised.
However, this is also where Pericles is strong.
In this respect, Hilde may still be a little worse than Pericles.
"Sissi."
At this time, Sophia leaned on Hilde's shoulder and asked absentmindedly:
"When you return to Athens, what else do you want to do besides talk business?"
"I want to go to the Parthenon, then go home and say hello to the servants at home, then go to the theater in Athens to see if Aristophanes has prepared any new comedies, and... I also plan to go see Socrates." Hilde was suddenly stunned when she said this. She thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, really, when it comes to going back, it feels like there are so many things to do, even though I'm not going home to visit my relatives."
"Sissi..."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
