Chapter 137: Domination of Meereen

"What? It turned out to be so fast. The nobles in Meereen City were a little overwhelmed with fear.

Li Mu's army marched too fast, completely beyond their expectations. Although they had overestimated the speed of the Dothraki, they were still disrupted by the speed of the other party.

"It seems that we will have to gather the Unsullied and our own guards to resist first. At the same time, he sent people to Yuankai to ask for help. I think that as long as we are caught between the Yuankai and the Yuankai, the Dothraki will definitely be defeated, and then we will have the capital to negotiate. A tall fat man sitting on the throne gave his advice.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"I agree."

"Let's do it."

Just as everyone was about to leave to dispatch their own guards, a herald ran in again.

"Report to my lords, the gates of the city have been breached, and the Dothraki have entered."

"What?!" The tall fat man on the throne slapped the table and stood up. "How can a gate made of bronze be so easily breached? Didn't you start the meereen banshee that can spray hot oil? Did someone defect and open the gates? Or did the Dothraki bring heavy siege equipment? ”

"No, my lord, it's their horse king, who summoned a strange ray of fire that split the bronze gate to pieces, and the Dothraki rode their horses into the city, and now the gates and the outer areas are gone. The city gate officer, General Moriner, was killed in battle. The Dothraki are about to be killed here, so hurry up and figure out how to do it. The herald said in alarm.

"How so?" The fat man in the main seat sat down. He knew nothing more about Meereen's situation. Although Meereen is economically strong, it has always been a shortcoming militarily. The main force of its defense is the slave soldiers and family guards known as the Unsullied. These people are okay to defend with strong walls, but once they encounter a Dothraki on flat ground, they will be able to deliver food.

Because the Dothraki do not believe in money and are content on the steppe, and Meereen often pays tribute to the Dothraki slaves, the two have always been at peace. However, now it is clear that the Dothraki have taken a fancy to Meereen, and it is only a matter of time before Meereen, which has lost its strong defenses, falls.

"If you ask for peace, you must save your net worth and life, no matter how much it costs. Wait until you have the opportunity to take revenge. The tall fat man secretly made up his mind.

He called the guards on the side, "Doleiman, you take two people to find the King of Horses, and say that Meereen asks for peace, and you can agree to any conditions." ”

Doleiman nodded, and was about to go out, snapping. The main entrance to the hall was violently kicked open. More than fifty Dothraki warriors rushed in with scythes in their hands, quickly controlling everyone in the hall. A well-proportioned man wearing a raven mask walked in.

The tall fat man stood up with a smile, "This is the new leader of the Dothraki, the contemptible is the ...... of the Meereen Council"

"Okay, I got it." Li Muyi interrupted the tall fat man's words with a wave of his hand, "You are the leader of this city." Hoffman, come in and take a look. Li Mu waved back, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walked in. Hoffman is a fur merchant in Meereen, and his net worth is only average in Meereen, but he basically knows the large and small merchants and high-ranking officials in Meereen for many years.

Hoffman walked in with his head down, he first saluted Li Mu, then glanced around, and carefully identified them one by one before returning to Li Mu's side, "Tell King Ma, all the members of the council in Meereen City are listed, but there are a few family members who are not among them. ”

"Well, I see, you're doing a good job, go and follow the others to identify the body, from tomorrow onwards, you'll be the governor of Meereen." Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for Hoffman to step back.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely do my best for the adults. Hoffman's face was happy, this is Meereen, one of the three major cities of Slave Bay, and being a governor here, even a puppet governor, is much better than being a fur merchant.

The tall fat man's face changed when he heard Li Mu and Hoffman's words, these two people decided the management of Meereen in front of him, and they didn't even say a word to him, the current nominal controller of Meereen, it was too much to see. However, he looked at the Dothraki with scythes in hand on either side, swallowed his spit, and squeezed a smile on his face, "Lord Ma, what do you mean by that?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think Meereen is too rotten and should be replaced with fresh blood." Li Mu glanced at the tall fat man. "Send them on their way."

Hmm, a burst of snowy knife light flashed, and dozens of heads fell to the ground and rolled all over the ground.

"Hayugen, pile up the heads of them and their relatives within three generations at the gate of the city as a capital view, and the rest of them will be reduced to slavery after identifying them."

"Hoffman, seize the assets, shops, and goods under their control, and distribute them to merchants who are willing to be loyal to us."

"Andugan, show our mercy by taking out a portion of the seized grain and cloth and distributing it to the poor."

"Gaga Branga, you lead the men to patrol the streets, and kill all those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble in the city. In addition, patrols were sent to search every corner within twenty miles, and all unknown people were arrested, and if they encountered resistance, they were killed on the spot. ”

One order after another was conveyed. The hands and feet of the Dothraki instantly reached out to the four sides of Meereen, and began to control Meereen step by step.

In the process of marching, Li Mu repeatedly considered his strategy, and he found a problem, that is, no matter what he did, he harmed the interests of those original rulers, and there were irreconcilable contradictions between him and those original rulers.

These contradictions were not visible when his army remained in Meereen, but once he left Meereen or his army was in trouble, then the areas he occupied would be in danger of domination. This is one of the reasons why Daenerys suffers from the backplate in Meereen.

Li Mu thought for a long time and finally found a solution, that is, to eliminate the original rulers first, and then win over a part of the middle class and support them to become rulers, so that these new rulers are highly consistent with his interests. As long as they want to maintain their rule, then the only way is to tie them and Li Mu together. As for the distribution of a part of the property to the commoners, it was just a means to show favor to the commoners, to spread the name of one's mercy to the commoners, and then to use the Jingguan at the gate of the city to deter those with ulterior motives. Enwei gradually allowed him to take control of the city. Let the city be a help rather than a burden for him to unify the Seven Kingdoms.

Use the Meereen people themselves to rule Meereen, Li Mu as the ultimate beneficiary of seclusion in the background, this model Li Mu has seen many times, in many worlds have good results, so, Li Mu brought this model to the continent of Essos, if the effect is good, Li Mu decided to extend this model to all the occupied areas, so that he has enough troops to capture new areas, without bothering to defend. Those with vested interests will naturally help him to protect the fruits of his victory.

One of the last issues that Meereen needs to pay attention to is that of the Unsullied, the castrated soldiers who originally started Daenerys' family. In this regard, Li Mu naturally will not miss it. He gathered all the captured Unsullied and gave a speech that would be nothing more than the abolition of the slavery status of all the Unsullied, and all would receive the status of free people. Those who are willing to stay in the army can continue to do their original positions and enjoy the treatment of normal soldiers. If someone is tired of his military career, he can apply for retirement, and Li Mu himself will pay a full amount of severance pay. Moreover, each Unsullied could buy a slave girl for free.

In the film, many innocent people are willing to choose a female slave as their spiritual sustenance, and Li Mu also pushed this policy out in due course.

Sure enough, after Li Mu's speech, almost ninety percent of the innocent people said that they wanted to stay in the army, after all, the innocent people have received military training since childhood, and they will not do anything except fight, and staying in the army has almost become a sure thing, plus with the status of a free man and a female slave, there is a sense of belonging in the heart, and they will naturally stand on Li Mu's side.

By the time Daenerys' follow-up army arrived at Meereen, Li Mu had already completely controlled Meereen.
