Chapter 218 Khaleesi's Trouble
Chapter 218 Khaleesi's Trouble
In the era of the Ghis Empire, the Slave Bay was already named Slave Bay. Slave traders captured slaves from all over the world and used their weather-beaten hands to lift up the slave owners' magnificent pyramids.
From then on, this land remained like this for generations. Conquerors came and went, but slavery and slave owners remained like a monument, standing proudly on this land.
But now, this scene was broken.
All over Slave Bay, slaves raised their butcher knives and slaughtered all the families that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Great Pyramid, leaving no one alive, young or old, male or female. Everyone understood the principle of cutting the grass at its roots, so they would never leave the slave owners a chance to counterattack.
Today, in the place that has been used to punish slaves for thousands of years, the heads of slave owners and their relatives are now hung.
The citizens of the cities in Slave Bay could only tremble in fear. As beneficiaries of the slave system, these middle-class citizens found that their lives were completely shattered. The slaves that they could once drive at will were now all riding on their heads; the exploitation of slaves that once relied on the system also disintegrated with the collapse of the system; the beautiful city life that was once built on slave labor was also gone.
Moreover, when facing slaves, they had to be cautious, cautious and careful, otherwise a slave could report it and the citizen could be imprisoned for a few days or even beheaded - those citizens who were known for their cruel treatment of slaves were basically beheaded along with the slave owners.
However, their situation was much better than those outside the city walls. The managers and non-slaves in the manors suffered extremely brutal retaliation, just like what had happened in the West.
No one in the new ruling group cared about the miserable situation of the former upper-middle class in Slave Bay. The huge number of freed slaves meant that the new ruling group only needed to win over the freed slaves. It was a normal decision to use the former upper-middle class, who were smaller in number and had weaker combat effectiveness, to please them.
Moreover, the roar of giant dragons can be heard above the cities of Slaver's Bay, and the figures of dragons can also be seen, which makes many citizens and intellectuals of Gis feel sad: the Dragon King is riding on their heads again.
The attitude of the freed slaves is at another extreme. They regard the dragon as a symbol of liberation and the incarnation of Daenerys. As for the wailing of the Gis people, who cares?
The so-called glory of the Ghis Empire has nothing to do with them, and they don’t care about this shitty glory. After all, how can a slave who is a consumable encounter the glory of the order built by the slave owner?
Therefore, the slaves are extremely disgusted with the howling of the Ghis people. If anyone dares to express dissatisfaction with the Dragon Queen or "mourning the Ghis Empire" in public or semi-public, the freed slaves will soon target him, just like they did to slave owners and bad citizens before. The lighter ones will be imprisoned, and the heavier ones will be directly executed.
Under such circumstances, it was natural that some lone wolf attacks by the Gis people emerged.
But these attacks were quickly suppressed for a simple reason: after the large number of Gith’s upper-middle class opponents were wiped out, the Gith could be said to have lost their resistance organization. However, lone wolf attacks could not change anything, but would only intensify the hatred of the freed slaves and make them more united around Daenerys.
However, more importantly, the Gis farmers outside the city, who were not slaves but whose position in the order of Slaver Bay was similar to that of consumables, did not join the resistance, which made the resistance force called "Sons of the Harpy" like a rootless water.
In this way, Slave Bay ushered in a new era, a new era that no one had ever imagined.
But for the ruler of this country, for the one sitting on the throne, Khaleesi, all this is not easy.
Although the birth of the dragon won the loyalty of Drogo's old followers, and the settlement of the slave owners won the loyalty of the slaves, after the joy of power passed, Daenerys felt only boundless fatigue. Daenerys once thought that as long as she distributed everything from the slave owners to everyone, everyone would be happy, but she finally found that the little things from the slave owners were not enough.
Yes, it is not enough. The wealth accumulated by the slave owners over hundreds or thousands of years is simply not enough.
Yes, Daenerys did gain a lot of floating wealth, but the problem now is that she couldn't spend it at all.
The expedition launched by the people of Westeros has united the slave owners like an iron barrel. Daenerys took over the Slaver's Bay, but Volantis and Qarth almost subconsciously blockaded Daenerys.
Only some Westeros ships passed through the blockade, but their number was too small, and the supplies provided by the Lazars could only be used to maintain her army, so the valuable assets Daenerys now had were actually those inconspicuous manors and fields.
There is not much output in Slaver's Bay. The Dragon King once systematically destroyed this land, and the slaves gathered here can often be sold off in a short time. These manors and fields are not many in number, and Daenerys has to satisfy the needs of the conquering group first, and then the ordinary people - this means that what she has is not enough to go around.
Although there were a large number of handicraftsmen among the freed slaves, the problem still lay in the blockade. Even if they produced goods, they could not exchange them. The goods that the Laza people could consume were also very limited. As for the residents in the mountainous areas, the area was vast and the population was sparse, so they could not provide much supplies.
So, Daenerys finds herself in the victor's dilemma.
Her original intention was to use the power of Slave Bay to advance westwards and seize what was rightfully hers, but she found herself stuck in a quagmire.
There are also many conflicts between the conquering group and the local people. The conquering group left by Drogo is loyal, but this does not affect their recklessness. The conflicts between the conquering group and the local people are also one after another. There are always centaurs in the solid state. Even if Daenerys takes out the butcher knife again, the deterrent effect is still limited.
Troubles would occasionally arise on the Great Grass Sea, and Daenerys had to maintain a large number of troops on the Great Grass Sea for deterrence.
Fortunately, the enemy is clear at present. With the fall of the cities in Slaver's Bay, the leadership of the slavery group now falls on Qarth.
As long as that big city can be resolved, the crisis in Slave Bay can be resolved to a large extent.
Moreover, there is another factor that cannot be mentioned, which is that no matter what, war will consume some young and strong people. These people are potential destabilizing factors when they are in difficult situations.
In short, no matter what, whether it is to deal with the mess in Slave Bay or wait for her dragon to grow up, Daenerys will need to stay in Slave Bay for a while.
