Chapter 141
The job of recruiting enemy sailors is not difficult. Dany is the Mother of Dragons, the slave liberator. As long as the slave sailors who have no brains are willing to surrender.
She only rode on the back of Big Black and flew a circle above the heads of the sailors at the dock, and all the crew members who lost more than 10,000 ships surrendered.
Conditional surrender.
Slaves are allowed to be liberated, but Dany cannot "turn people into bandits" for non-slave crew members.
Obviously, there are not only the oarsmen and slave Warriors who work hard, but also the "higher" Free Folks such as captains, first mates, and second mates. They are not slaves, and most of them have a good family background. , naturally do not want to follow Dany to "rebellion" this kind of killing business.
Well, rich people are eligible for education, and educated people at least have a bit of a big picture.
Like the North descendants of the Company of the Rose, those experienced high-level crew members believed that Dany's abolition of slaves was against the entire world.
Personal confrontation with the world is doomed to have no good end.
So, they asked Dany, according to tradition, to allow them to redeem themselves with money.
Although Dany cherishes the talents of those elite seafarers, he also understands that stubborn melons are not sweet, so he agrees: redemption is fine, but after all, you have broken the law, and everyone must save the land for the city of Astapor. year.
Of course, nobles don't get the same ransom as ordinary seamen, and they get different treatment.
Well, the food and accommodation will be better.
Dany doesn't have a lion's big mouth, only traditionally sets a price for every captive who doesn't want to take refuge with her.
She didn't even treat the Ghis differently, they were all treated the same.
Dany was so magnanimous that the sailors immediately raised their hands in surrender.
Well, those people definitely don't know, autumn is coming to an end and Long Night is coming soon.
A total of 8,000 strong slave soldiers were recruited, and the remaining 3,000 real sailors became field coolies.
After dealing with the group of sailors in the morning, Dany rode Big Black and led 5,000 infantry back to White Poplar Slope in the afternoon. After burning the bodies of more than 10,000 Ghis coalition soldiers who died in battle, the second day She began to reorganize the army on a large scale.
20,000 people and militia mixed baggage, 5,000 Unsullied, 10,000 paces, cavalry, bow mixed Wings of Freedom, 15,000 Queen Guards selected from 70,000 slave Warriors .
Dany awarded the Queen's Guard the White Dragon flag on a yellow background, officially becoming a new army.
Well, here Dany used the celestial monarchy to deliberately split the new Free Folks of different city-states into different troops, so as to prevent the increasingly powerful Free Folk Guards from becoming too powerful.
"The evil Mother of Dragons is rectifying its armaments, and will soon lead 200,000 troops to attack Yunkai!"
After only one night, the Wise Masters of Yunkai will know This terrifying message.
Black's Raven brings black's message.
No way, they captured thousands of merchants and prostitutes serving the Ghis coalition, there must be Yunkai spies, or merchants who reported to Yunkai for Gold Honor.
"Is it true?"
"Are you sure about the news?"
"Hey, the news brought by more than a dozen Ravens is exactly the same, wrong Nope! That woman also wrote a letter for the merchants to pass around the world, "The Seven Deadly Sins of the Yunkai Wise Masters against the People of the World"."
"Damn, I did this again, attacking Astapor last year. , she also wrote "The Seven Great Hate", it seems that this time it is really going to fight with us to the end."
"Ai, 200,000 army, and we don't have time to recruit mercenaries again. ......why doesn't she die? The slave trade is the foundation of the world's great seafaring trade, even Qarth and Volantene want to kill her, why shouldn't she just be killed by assassin? God bless you!"
"Yeah, God is unfair, Gods have no eyes. We are so indifferent to the world, just stay in Slaver's Bay obediently and honestly, do business with our duty, repeating the simple and unpretentious life for thousands of years , treat people with integrity, and provide high-quality services for the whole world, why would that woman come to provoke our honest people?!"
"After all, it's the Sorrowful Men of Qarth who don't work well, they all sneak in Great Pyramid, even the dragon egg was stolen, so it didn't kill the woman, and we lost more than 30 large ships in vain."
"We should find a more professional assassin , let's just get together, let's join forces and hire Faceless Men."
"Hi...Faceless Men? That's going to cost tens of millions of Gold Honors?"
"According to the current form, it is not less than 20 million, which is estimated to be the most expensive price in history. But call Meereen's Great Masters, and one million Gold Honor per person is enough."
"Far can't quench near thirst. Faceless Men can be hired, but they have to repel this attack. I'm wondering, even if Astapor defeats our coalition, will they lose nothing? Don't they need repair?"
In the top palace of the Great Pyramid, the Wise Masters sitting around the round table discussed each other with panic.
“dong dong dong!”
The chief Grand Wise Master knocked on the table, interrupting the increasingly loud quarrel, the thin old face was full of seriousness and his eyes were sharp He glanced at the yellow silk cape general under the conference table and asked: "General Zakro, the other party claims to be 200,000, how many people are there?"
Grand Wise Master is from House Dhazak, wearing the most noble citrine fringed Tokar robe , nearly fifty years old, with a thin but majestic face.
In order to cover the forehead with thin hair, the black and red hair is upright and leaning forward, a little like an airplane head.
"Your Excellency Wise Master Mureno, that woman has at least fifty thousand armies." said General Ghis with a big belly.
"Fifty thousand..." Grand Wise Master black narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table lightly, and said after a while, "Yunkai is smaller than Astapor, but the city wall is higher, Stronger, if we have 10,000 defenders, can we resist the opponent’s attack?”
“Lord Wise Masters, under normal circumstances, Yunkai’s 10-meter-high city wall—especially when we are backed by the sea, There are shipping guarantees—five thousand elites can stop a hundred thousand armies for ten years, but that woman has three dragons..." The fat general said hesitantly.
"It doesn't take ten years, we will be able to find Faceless Men and get her done in half a year." Mureno indifferently said.
"Are you really planning to hire the Faceless Men? We all know that there are Iron Bank and Sealord's Palace behind the House of Black and White, and the Braavos will definitely take the opportunity to make a series of political demands." The general was shocked.
"The Braavos will only interfere with other countries' finances through finance, while our Slaver's Bay only has slave trade and no finance."
"Then..." Fat General Gritting his teeth, he said, "I need more soldiers, and I need an unlimited amount of Scorpion. It's better to fill the city wall."
"Yes," Grand Wise Master's dry lips cracked into a smile, "We have more than 80 warships and more than 500 large sea ships, and within half a month, we can transport all Meereen's troops and crossbow arrows to Yunkai."
"Meereen's Great Masters will agree?" Yes Wise Masters asked uncertainly.
"It will definitely be true, I believe that the Great Masters will not fail to understand. And the battlefield is placed in Yunkai, and only Yunkai is devastated by the war. Meereen people enjoy the fruits of victory in peace and harmony. , why not do it?"
Yunkai has spies from Astapor, and within two days, Dany received a message from Raven: Meereen Great Masters and Yunkai Wise Masters have gathered together and will Battle Yunkai against the evil Mother of Dragons.
At this time, Dany is rectifying his armaments and is about to lead the army to set off. There are fifty thousand army, hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses, no matter war horses or pack horses, each person will be allocated two horses. If there are no horses, cattle or mules will be used. , instead of donkeys, in short, each soldier has at least two mounts, 50,000 army, hundreds of thousands of livestock, carrying half a month rations, at a speed of 50 kilometers per day, raiding Astapor within ten days - this is It was Dany's previous plan.
"We're afraid we won't be able to lay down Yunkai in a short time." Whitebeard facial expression grave said.
Dany, who put on his uniform again, said wickedly: "Then besiege the city and let the three dragons bomb the Yunkai wall day and night, I'll see how long they can last."
" I'm afraid it will be us who can't hold on first." Jon Bolton frowned.
"Oh, how?" Dany asked, looking at him.
"I'm worried that the other side will be strong and clear." Guards Commander slowly said.
Well, Dany didn't break his promise. The backbone of the newly formed Guards are all members of the Rose Mercenaries. The former head of the Company of the Rose was elected as Commander as it should be by rights.
Eight hundred elite mercenaries serve as the skeleton of 15,000 slaves, forming a combat force in almost a few days.
This is not an exaggeration. The regular army of Westeros Seven Kingdoms is only in the ratio of one to one hundred, and one or two hundred Knights lead ten-twenty thousand farmers who have just put down their hoes.
Simply put, this is a bad world, everyone is bad, just see who is less bad.
This is probably the case: The farmer of the slave lord's house has a new Free Folk with some combat experience (selected from the slave Warrior) The top 30 mercenary Unsullied has faith and is fully educated The Knight regiment (including some large mercenary group Knight troops, Church Forces Knight regiment)
So Dany let the newly formed Guards go with her.
As for whether the Guards will be controlled by the Company of the Rose and by Jon Bolton?
There is no doubt that it will.
But Dany deliberately, in addition to balancing the increasingly powerful new Free Folk forces, mainly or for the liberated slaves to lead a new, more advanced system - the Chinese version of the Westeros Knight system.
At this time, Astapor is actually implementing a county system that is conducive to centralization, but with Yunkai, Meereen, and even the entire Slaver's Bay taken by Dany, a more "dynamic" Feudal System will definitely appear. .
——The feudal lords of Westeros can be maintained for more than 8,000 years. Compared with the ancient dynasties of the 300-year cycle of the Celestial Dynasty, they are simply too "vigorous"!
Well, the energy, the power to live. In terms of governing the country, the Feudal System is far inferior to the centralized system of the Great Heavenly Dynasty.
Dany will not completely replicate the system of the Celestial Dynasty, even if the centralization of power can bring two or three generations to the world's unprecedented "Dany prosperity".
Because she is a king rather than a commoner, with the prosperity of Dany I, she will surely usher in the 'last emperor of Dany N'.
Simply put, she only allows her family to rule for absolutely years. As for whether the country is rotten or not, she cares, but she cares more about whether the descendants of oneself will be executed the whole family unto the third generation.
And, no matter how bad the country is, her descendants are still kings.
The Feudal System has another advantage, bannermen are often more loyal to the emperor, far more loyal to the emperor than the Great General, Great Minister of War, and Provincial Governor.
For example, Stark was King in the North for eight thousand years.
King in the North oneself has only a small number of direct troops, most of which are from subordinate lords, like Dany and Jon Bolton at this time.
