Chapter 199: Pacification of Yunkai
Chapter 197: Conquering Yunkai
Ben Plumm, commonly known as the "Brown Man", is the leader of a mercenary group waiting to be persuaded to surrender.
He is a lucky man, having experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and survived them all.
Of course, only he himself knows that it is not entirely due to luck.
Sometimes, choice is more important.
For example, he has a friend named Skarpo, and the two were once guards of a great lord in Meereen.
A female noble passed by them, and Skarpo glanced at her, but he didn't.
After the incident, he persuaded Skarpo to escape together, but he ran away, but Skarpo didn't run away and died miserably.
Or, his previous leader, Mero.
After the good lord hired them, he wanted to keep some mercenaries to protect Yunkai, but Mero was very greedy and wanted to follow the coalition to Astapor to plunder, so he sent him to stay in Yunkai.
The final result was that he, Ben Plumm, became the new leader.
Therefore, choice is more important than anything else, and he has always been very careful in choosing his battles and opponents.
But sometimes, natural disasters are inevitable, and the Dothraki still come.
The Dothraki are very cruel. Ben Plumm heard that those who have gone against them have no good end.
The "Piercing Forest" of Qohor, the "Judgment" of Meereen, and Astapor, the "wonder" that can block the river.
So, the Dothraki did not call for surrender, and Ben Plumm was hesitant and did not dare to make a choice easily. He held the leather-bound record book tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
This record book records the names and various information of all members of the mercenary group from its establishment to the present.
It is very large and thick, because their group is called the Second Sons, one of the oldest mercenary groups in Essos.
Although not as powerful and famous as the Golden Group, they have many well-known members and "proud" records.
Famous members in history include:
Harwin Hall, the first King of the River Islands, who ruled the Iron Islands before Aegon conquered.
Roderic Stark, a King in the North of Westeros and the head of the Stark family.
Aerion Targaryen, the second son of Maekar I, the elder brother of Aegon V, the "unworthy king", was once the heir to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
Aegor Rivers, the illegitimate son of Aegon IV, the founder of the Golden Company.
The Tattered Prince, Prince of Pentos, the founder of the Windblown.
Oberyn Martell, Prince of Dorne, the younger brother of Prince Doran, the ruler of Dorne.
From this point of view, the Second Sons can be regarded as the top school in Westeros and Essos, and has cultivated many talents for the East and West continents.
As for their "proud" record, they once fought against Khal Temo, the strongest Dothraki, with 3,000 warriors of Qohor.
Although they fled immediately after the initial defeat, the important thing was to participate.
Moreover, the result was also good. The Unsullied won and the Second Sons survived.
History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Today, the Second Sons once again met the strongest Dothraki khal of the new generation.
How lucky it is that a mercenary group can face the strongest Dothraki of two eras.
Unfortunately, there is no Unsullied this time, or rather, there is, but it is on the opposite side.
Where is the future of the Second Sons, and how should the current leader Ben Plumm choose?
Perhaps, he can survive.
Ben Plumm blinked his black almond eyes and touched his gray hair due to aging. That was the blood inherited from his Dothraki mother.
In addition, he also told others that he had many bloodlines such as Braavos, the Summer Islands, Qohor, and Dorne, which was very complex and flexible.
"Thanks for my mother's gift!"
Ben Plumm thought secretly, and then shouted to the mercenaries around him:
"We surrender!"
The little advantage of the Second Sons over other mercenary groups is that there are not so many complicated struggles within, and they only obey the command of the leader.
When the leader said to surrender, the mercenaries immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered.
More importantly, the Dothraki were so terrible that if the leader hadn't spoken, they would have surrendered long ago.
Just like that, before the Dothraki battering rams reached the gates of Yunkai, there were bursts of shouting from the walls.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, we surrender!"
"We surrender!"
Before the fat body of Yazan zo Quagz was lifted onto the sedan chair, he was frightened by the surrender and trembled all over.
The slaves were stunned, threw him to the ground, and took the opportunity to escape.
This was mainly because he was not too bad compared to other slave owners.
In addition to liking to collect deformed slaves to temporarily forget the fact that they were dying, as long as the slaves obeyed orders and did not cause trouble, they would be treated well.
Otherwise, it would not be simply thrown to the ground, and dying would immediately turn into dying here.
——
Yunkai fell, and the whole city was in fear and doubt.
The people were waiting helplessly for bad news every moment, wondering if they would be plundered, or even massacred and burned to charcoal.
There was no news at all. After entering Yunkai, the Dothraki troops never made any moves again.
At this moment, Mongol was walking in the magnificent pyramid garden. The sun warmed his body and he felt full of energy.
However, when he looked to the east outside the tower, he still felt heavy-hearted. That was the direction of Qarth.
"Kao, how should the good lord of Yunkai deal with it?"
Nohat walked up to Mengge, bowed and asked for instructions.
"What do you think we should do?"
Mengge turned around and stared into Nohat's eyes:
"How should we appease the people of Yunkai and the military morale of the youth of Astapor."
Nohat's character was a little impatient, but he had also grown a lot. Knowing that Kaa was testing himself, he frowned and thought.
After a long time, he furrowed his brows, glanced at Meng Ge secretly, and answered cautiously and tentatively:
"If, and I mean if, if I were left to handle this, I would arrest all the Good Lords of Meereen."
"Some of the slave masters were publicly executed in Yunkai, just as we did in Meereen, killing the Good Lord without committing any crime against the free people. Tell the people of Yunkai that the Dothraki killed the Good Lord and that our grudges This is eliminated, we will not harm them again, and the hearts of the Yunkai people will be at peace. "
"The remaining slave owners will serve as trophies to the Youth Army and escort them back to Astapor, allowing the people of Astapor to take revenge in person. In this way, the honor of the Youth Army will be satisfied and the justice of Astapor will be fulfilled. can be extended.”
After saying so much, Nohat gained some confidence when he saw that Mengge didn't reprimand him angrily. He held his chin and continued:
"Kaa, I heard more from the warriors. Not all slaves are poor people. There are some slaves who are more hated than slave owners among their kind. Should we find these people too? execution."
Meng Ge looked at Nohat, nodded with satisfaction, and gave his approval:
"It's very good that you thought of that."
Then, he suddenly thought of something and ordered:
"But this is different from executing slave owners. For slaves, all slave owners are the ones who enslaved them. Even if a slave owner who treats his slaves well is executed, most slaves will not speak for him, because, in essence, that All are slave owners."
"Execution of slaves is different. It harms others. This can easily remind other slaves of themselves, and then they can be used by people with ulterior motives to cause trouble."
"Therefore, this matter must be handled with caution. The slave owner must be executed first to let all slaves understand that their master will not reappear, and then let other slaves expose the evil slaves who took advantage of the situation to oppress them."
"Remember, Nohat, the evidence is clear, the evidence is clear, the punishment is just."
Nohat was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion, and then he asked:
"Leave this kind of thing to me? Shouldn't it be done by a maester?"
Meng Ge smiled and patted Nohat on the shoulder, turned his head to look east, and said without doubt:
"I am going to appoint Bass Potter as the Ten Thousand Households of Slaver's Bay, and you will stay here to help him. The bachelor lacks experience in commanding troops, so you will be responsible for recruiting, training, and commanding troops to conquer the city-states around Slaver's Bay. Salado... The fleet under Sang En will help you transport soldiers."
"Kaa, what about you?"
"Qarth."
After checking the information, I suddenly discovered that the Second Son Group is really interesting. Just like the celebrity training camp, in the original book, the little devil also joined the Second Son Group.
