Chapter 54
Chapter 52 : Slave Bay has now been renamed Liberty
The sound of bells and horses’ hoofs blended together, Zhuo Ge and Dany rode their horses slowly, the dragon hovered over their heads, the horse-riding warriors followed closely, the giants pressed against the Chinese army, and the unsullied infantry were behind, so extraordinary. The battle was magnificent enough to swallow all enemies in Slave Bay!
On the way to Meerin, Kao’s expression was outlined by the bleak scenes along the way. Those cunning great masters wrecked the wild machine before he marched, harvesting all the grain that can be harvested, and if there is no time to harvest Set on fire, scorched farmland and displaced refugees can be seen everywhere.
The most outrageous thing is that along the coast road from Astapo, every mileage road sign is pinned to the sun-dried child slaves. This is to warn Cao and Dany that they can’t save everything. Slave!
Dany couldn’t bear the child slave’s death and could not sleep well, so she ordered her subordinates to put down the poor children, but Zhuogo stopped him. He said: “We have to see the pain these children endure, and then do more On the Great Lord!”
Before he got close to Mirin, Zhuo Ge saw a giant pyramid pierced into the clouds. It was definitely more than eight hundred feet high, and was even more magnificent than the central pyramid of Astapo. Standing on the top of the tower was an eagle. The Bronze Statue of the Evil God that is indispensable for the Son of the Banshee.
Mi Lin stands on a sandstone cape, where the brown Skazzadan River flows into the Slave Bay, nourishing the inhumane Gith nobles, the north wall stretches along the river bank, and the west wall closes to the bay.
The architectural color of Milin is not as monotonous as Astabo and Yunkai, it renders a variety of colors, and the area is larger than Astabo and Yunkai combined.
Its terrain, city walls and defense measures are also the best and strongest among the three giants of Slave Bay. It is full of various war fortresses, and each corner is equipped with towering defense towers for defense.
Zhuo Ge’s army entered the giant city of Meereen without any effort, because the remaining main force of the slave owners had all been defeated by Quers, and the remaining great masters knew that they were invincible, and they had already escaped by boat through the convenient bay.
Most of the slave owners chose to bring their crowds to the Glory City, hoping to unite the forces of the ancient empire against the army of Zogo and use it as a place of watch, while the others sailed to Valantis, one of the nine major trading city-states, waiting for their return. Homeland, a day that once again covers the sky.
In this way, the horse king occupies only a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its military strength is weak. Fortunately, it is believed that the slave owners who can make a comeback have not destroyed Mirin. It is known that Zhuoge’s iron-blooded methods have lost the leader Hizdal. How can the sons of the Harpy of Zo Lorak stay here, scraping away all the valuables that can be taken away, and leaving behind the unused slaves.
This is an unexpected scene. Zhuo Ge is not surprised. For the slave owners, the slaves that are dispensable are the most precious wealth for him.
Milin is a trading center in and out of Slave Bay, and merchants from other places will basically stop here.
Even if Milin’s finances are empty, they can mobilize Yuankai and Astapo’s assets to make up for it, and there is more than enough to feed the less demanding free people.
On the third day when he came to Meerin, Zogo sent an army to clear the trade channel of Kaiser. The Lazarin and the Dothraki were feuds, so he only let the army of the Unsullied go.
The giant was invulnerable in his heavy armor, and he accompanied the army as a deterrent. The eunuchs soon heard a good news. After only two or three small-scale battles, they completed the task.
With the continuous flow of food, livestock and other daily necessities in exchange for gold and silver jewelry into the three major city-states of Slave Bay, Zhuo Ge’s most worrying problem has been solved.
The free people have enough food and clothing, and they can create a predictable future by working hard. For them, such a life is like being in a paradise. How can they not love Dai Zhuoge?
In their hearts, the king is a god, an omnipotent **** who has crushed the wheel of history!
Without requiring Zhuo Ge to issue an edict, the freemen of Yuan Kai and Mi Lin voluntarily demolished the harpy statue, imitating Astabo, like mushrooms after a rain, casting a symbol of freedom that symbolizes the “spirit of dragon and horse”.
For centuries, Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapo have been hubs for the slave trade, where the Caomen of Dothraki and the pirates of the Snake Lizard Islands sold prisoners of war and purchased prisoner-of-war slaves all over the world.
Jiskali Mountain is rich in copper ore, but since bronze has become popular in the world, copper is no longer as valuable as it used to be, but it is better than nothing.
Along the coast, there used to be tall cedars, but after Valyria invaded the ancient country of Guis in the past, the cedars were chopped down by an axe or burned to ashes by the dragon flame.
Therefore, without slaves, Meereen only provided olive oil, flavor, copper ore, etc. to the merchants.
Cut off the most important source of income and use other resources for development. Slave merchants will go crazy, but Zogo feels that it is enough.
He sent all the scouts to the snake lizard islands, the midsummer islands, the Nas islands, the Dothraki Caohai and other slave producing areas, and told the pirate kings, the big slave traders, and the horse kings to transfer their sins to Other free trade city-states, Slave Bay no longer buys slaves!
Of course, closing the door and not communicating with the outside world is a taboo for governing the country, which will make the Slave Bay more and more backward. He also asked the scouts to announce that in addition to the slave business, other businesses such as silk, essence, ore, etc., are willing to cooperate vigorously with them.
His brilliant record in Slave Bay has long been passed on to Essos by his mouth and carrier pigeons, and in many bays, he tends to his former and present prestige and dominance, making those who want to make money from the slave trade in fear. , Or hesitated, or chose to find the next home.
Zhuo Ge chose the highest pyramid as his place to stay, and changed the hall at the bottom into an imperial meeting room.
Whenever he holds the coveted peerless Miki and looks down at the top of the tower surrounded by clouds, he feels like a god.
From here he can overlook the entire city, narrow and crooked alleys and wide brick streets, temples and palaces, flower orchards and fountains, as well as the spiral red brick stands of the bowl-shaped colosseum, and feel the joy of the people. Pleasure.
He can also look at the blue sea outside the city walls, the winding Skazadan River, the dry brown hills, and the burnt fields that have sprouts.
But such leisurely days do not belong to him. He must clear up the troubles of his ideal kingdom as soon as possible, so that the territory can flourish according to his will.
The three giants of Slave Bay have changed, and the sufferings of the entire Slave Bay have seen hope. The slaves in many towns have begun to revolt, violently resist their masters, and the call for freedom has intensified!
The time has come, Zhuo Ge summoned the three Ago, who are both invaders and blood ally guards, and preached: “The blood of my blood, order people to summon all the nobles and merchants in Slave Bay to come to Meerin to see the shackle breakers, if any The disobedient, the heavier cut the weeds and the roots, the lighter is demoted to slaves!”
The dignitaries of Slave Bay have been sleeping and eating awkwardly since the change of the sky in Astapo, knowing that there will be such a day.
Some people choose to leave Slave Bay ahead of time and go to other areas where slavery is flourishing to buy land and estates in order to stick to their deep-rooted ideas and majesty.
Karratha’s aggressive invitation, only a handful of powerful and powerful dared to resist, and the rest accepted the summons either sincerely or with ghosts.
Zhuo Ge sat on the throne, looking down at the representative of Guise with a natural cold face. Dany was set off by his amorous feelings. The dragon and the blood-stained white lion were full of joy in the hall, plus what the rich and powerful had seen on the way. The pound and thin army, with such majesty and heritage, made them completely covered by a sense of powerlessness.
Kao is not a rash person, and decided to listen to their voices and suggestions, and change if there is any change.
“There are rich and poor in this world, some are born great and others must be enslaved. Even if we are not forced, there are poor people who are willing to sell themselves as slaves.”
“Those artistic slaves, such as dancers, singers, and magicians, if they have to dig the ground and eat, move bricks and build houses by themselves, are they willing? They will only beg to be slaves.”
“The outside world basically only trades slaves with Slave Bay. Even if your idea is better, it will take time to adapt. You may never be able to adapt. During this period, this land will become poorer…”
……
Zhuo Ge listened for a long time, and those Gith people were just using their conscious interests to persuade him to restore slavery, but this was impossible.
His answer was: “Foreign trade and exchanges are my first priority. Low-level slaves are not worth the price of a catty of olive oil or a steel sword, and high-level slaves are only worth a few cans of flavors or a few cans. It’s nothing more than silk, and those singers, dancers, magicians and scholars, I will not let them lose their jobs. Instead, I will entrust them with a heavy responsibility to let those technicians serve as prophets and teachers to teach my people, so I don’t agree with your words. Reform is destined. It will be difficult, but if there are no challenges in life, it will become dull. I am sure that even if some free people will be mediocre in their lives, they will definitely be able to eat and wear. They definitely don’t want to go back to their predecessors involuntarily, just like walking dead. Like a life!”
Zhuo Ge slowly stood up and announced the original intention of the meeting.
“Anyone who disobeys the idea of freedom will all die for me! I declare that Slave Bay will be renamed Freedom Bay from now on!!”
The king is speaking with absolutely overwhelming power, and the trembling dignitaries who are frightened, all fell to the ground regardless of whether they agree or not, and shouted: “I am willing to obey the freedom concept of the shackles!…”
