Chapter 975

At night, in the dead of night.

"Grow up quickly-"

"Only when you grow up can you leave the Red Fort and go to the outside world."

However, Aemon, who had been sitting in the tent for a long time after rejecting the visits from some of his companions, finally opened the gift from his mother, Daenerys.

This seems to be a wooden boat model made of oak. The craftsman of the carving is extremely skilled, and there is a message from the mother under the boat.

It was Daenerys's beautifully written blessing, wishing her son a happy fifteenth birthday, and the craftsman carved it under the boat with a chisel.

That's right, today is Aemon's fifteenth birthday.

However, his mother Daenerys did not return, and it is said that she was to suppress the fire of rebellion that had been ignited somewhere.

It has now been the tenth year since House Targaryen launched the Eastern Crusade.

The Valyrian Empire controls the vast territory of the Essos Continent. The rebuilt Braavos, Norvos and Loras have surrendered indirectly in a few years, and have joined the imperial system peacefully, avoiding the encounter with swordsmen. , became a highly autonomous province.

Because of the peaceful integration of city-states such as Braavos and Norvos, the Valyrian Empire has virtually complete control over the west coast of Essos.

And the power of the empire is still advancing, and even occupying a large number of grasslands, the invincible imperial army has been pushed all the way to the door of the Dothraki holy city Wes Dothraki, and almost completed the other world version. The 'Fenglang Juxu' was changed to 'Founting the Virgin Mountain'.

However, the imperial army led by the little queen Daenerys swept across the Essos continent, but finally stopped on the eve of the expedition that was about to launch deep into the grassy sea to attack Wes Dothrak.

Because the territory of the Valyrian Empire is really too large, and the territory expanded by this war is too deep, the capital of the empire, King's Landing, is too far away from the frontier, and its influence and control are insufficient.

Therefore, just as the little queen in front was preparing to launch a general attack on Wes Dothrak and seal the Notre Dame Mountain, news of a fire in the backyard suddenly came from the rear.

The Valyrian Empire's army launched the 'God Killing Operation'. They attacked the city all the way and wiped out the beliefs of many gods and gods in the continent of Essos. Cthulhu.

The three city-states of Slaver's Bay, Meereen, Yunkait, and Astapor, have been completely transformed into imperial forms.

Daenerys intends to make Slaver's Bay a fertile province of the Empire.

Therefore, she spent a lot of energy here to support the local people as governors, abolish the inferior slave system, overthrow the deep-rooted harpy beliefs, and eliminate the influence of evil gods such as R'hllor and the Pale Holy Child. .

However, Daenerys put a lot of effort into Slaver's Bay, but the end result was very little.

When the legions of the Valyrian Empire were stationed here, the people here were all honest and responsible, and did not dare to make the slightest move, but once Daenerys' army was withdrawn, Slave Bay would immediately become source of unrest.

In the early days of Slaver Bay, unrest broke out suddenly, and it was still from top to bottom.

Daenerys supported several former local nobles as governors on the front foot, and Daenerys raised the army to prepare for the expedition to Wes Dothrak, and wiped out the men of Khal Mengo in one fell swoop, bringing them all into the imperial system. , but at this moment, the rebellion of Slaver's Bay came.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just the Slaver's Bay turmoil, Daenerys could turn around to clean up these stubborn giths after taking Wes Dothraki.

However, the key point is that the Dothraki Sea is too vast, and the grassy sea is not suitable for building human cities. The cost of transporting food and grass materials by land to establish a long supply line is too high.

This is also the reason why a powerful farming civilization can only passively defend itself against the intrusion of nomads, rather than destroying the opponent once and for all.

Therefore, the little queen Daenerys carried the great victory division that swept across the continent of Essos. When she wanted to expedition Wes Dothraki and solve the problem once and for all, she had to rely on Slave Bay as a sea transport supply to attack Wei S Dothrak's springboard and transition.

Therefore, just after the army led by the little queen of the front foot left, the backyard became chaotic, and Daenerys was forced to abandon the plan of expedition to Wes Dothrak, and put out the fire in the backyard first.

And Daenerys thought that the turmoil in Slave Bay was the governors she supported, and the former slave owners were unwilling, so they launched the turmoil with public opinion.

However, it was not until Daenerys repeatedly put out the turmoil in Slaver Bay and hanged an unknown number of governors and former slave owners that the problem was not so simple.

Daenerys suddenly discovered that the people who rebelled against her were not only the former great slave owners, but even the slaves who had been rescued by her and knelt on the ground and called her 'mother'.

And this time, the slaves actually sided with the slave owner and opposed her rule as the 'shatterer'.

This discovery shocked Daenerys, and it was very difficult to understand. She obviously pulled them out of the sea of ​​misery, why should she take revenge for her kindness?

However, in fact, the land of Gugis was once conquered by the Valyrians. In order to prevent the rebirth of the Gugis Empire, the Valyrians sprinkled salt, sulfur and dry bones, and the land became barren. Down, the particles are hard to collect.

Therefore, the reason why Slave Bay has evolved into the center of the world slave trade is precisely because this place has no advantages other than its unique geographical location, and it can only engage in slave trade.

With the arrival of a new conqueror, Daenerys forcibly abolished the local slave system, although she briefly won the hearts of the slaves.

However, after these slaves were freed, they suddenly found that they could not find work, could not afford to eat, and were even better than when they were slaves.

At least slaves are the private property of the slave owners, they will not be beaten to death, starved to death, and have a bite to eat.

Moreover, Daenerys also abolished the local belief in the harpy, as well as the Red God religion, which has a strong influence among slaves and spreads widely, and prohibits everyone from visiting R'hllor and chanting his name. and stories.

And this angered the slaves of these religions.

Therefore, many slaves who once supported Daenerys and even called her 'mother' turned around 180 degrees and joined the slave owners to resist the rule of the Valyrian Empire, causing repeated encirclement and suppression , however, is still a resurgence of the status quo.

But the status quo against the tyranny of the Valyrian Empire and the god-busting movement didn't just break out in Slaver's Bay.

The people in the past were frightened by the dragon and the powerful army. However, the army of the Empire was not enough, so these people who gradually responded began to incite resistance one after another, demanding to drive out the invaders.

The newly occupied areas of the Valyrian Empire began to be in flames, and although these large and small rebellions were not enough to shake the overall situation of the Valyrian Empire, Daenerys was still forced to put out fires everywhere.

The little queen used to love her son the most, but now for her husband, Daenerys even ignored her love for her son.
