Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 130 Take Jon Snow as a younger brother

Although Jon wanted to negotiate conditions with Dany, he didn't lock up the camp like the Second Sons, and the whole army was ready.

On the contrary, the gate of the rose group's stronghold was wide open, and the mercenaries inside also

Uh, most of them are still lying in the tent and sleeping soundly.

"Your Majesty, your Great Wall dry red is really strong. I'm still a little dizzy now, and most of my regiment members are still hungover." The bearded Jon said to Dany on the horse with a wry smile.

"How can it be called the 'Great Wall' if it's not strong enough?" Dani said naturally.

Of course it is strong enough, my baijiu is not for drinking at all.

The high-strength wine that can be sterilized is mixed with grape juice and a lot of sugar is added. People who don't drink can drink a large glass in one go, but the aftertaste is not something ordinary people can bear!

Speaking of this "Great Wall Dry Red", I have to feel the "poor" of the products in Slavery Bay.

Before Dani arrived, Slave Bay had five major products, slaves, olives, copper mines, beets, and sour grapes. Except for olive oil and slaves, there were almost no exportable materials.

Well, the grapes in Slaver's Bay are not suitable for wine making, and the wine produced is not even the owner of the manor wants to drink.There was an astringency that Dany couldn't figure out, since the grapes were big and sweet.

After Dani arrived, she did three things in the economic reform of Astapor. First, the concentration of wine was increased, that is, high-concentration baijiu for cleaning wounds was produced, and it could also be sold as special wine——baijiu mixed with second, to make sugar from beets; third, to subsidize artisans to establish more than a dozen bronze processing factories, and to create an industrial chain of 'copper mines-copper ingots-exquisite copper ware'.

Far away, the sea and commercial roads in Astapor are currently blocked by the Ghis, and even good products cannot be sold.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what you plan to do with the rose ball?" Captain Jon said seriously.

Dany's iron gauntlets patted on the saddle lightly. Instead of answering his question, she asked with a smile, "Now do you understand why Toren Stark surrendered to Aegon so simply 300 years ago?"

Captain Jon nodded with a wry smile, and sighed: "Our ancestors wrongly blamed the 'King of Conquest', he was very wise and made the best choice for the people of the North.

With three young dragons, you swept the allied forces of Ghis with very low losses. At that time, King Tony's army was not as many as it is now.

However, His Majesty Aegon has a stronger army than you, and a more powerful adult dragon. The mortal army is almost invincible. "

"So, as descendants of self-exiled northern nobles, you are now relieved of what happened back then?" Dany continued to ask.

"You know we are descendants of nobles?" Jon asked with a complicated expression.

"Hehe, don't forget that I'm also from Westeros." Dany said in a gentle tone, using the common language: "Your three companions, Lila Amber, Bruce Wayne, and Herman Tauhar.

I'm a little unsure except for Wayne, Amber from 'Last Hearth' and Tawhar from 'Torren's Square', am I right? "

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. Wayne's ancestors were a knight attached to Winterfell and had no fiefdom. After leaving Stark, his family's title will naturally disappear."

"I see." Danny nodded.

This world is very particular about inheritance, or in other words, the class is too solidified, even if the descendants of the nobles work as mercenaries with the common people, the descendants of the nobles are mostly the descendants of the nobles.

Because they have various inheritances such as swordsmanship, combat skills, knowledge, etiquette, and aggressiveness, they have stronger survivability and are more likely to ascend to high positions.Under the same conditions, other people's identification with noble blood is also higher.

"Your surname is Xue Nuo. Most ordinary people don't even have wives. How can they have an illegitimate child?" Dani continued.

The illegitimate child of Westeros is just like the third child in modern society, and ordinary people are not entitled to have it.

"Who is your father?" she asked curiously.

Jon Snow shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "My father is probably a mercenary from Braavos. My mother doesn't know who it is."

"Uh"

"My mother was a 'Burton.'"

"That Bolton of the Dreadfort Skinner?" Dany said in shock.

"Ah."

Captain Jon quickly added: "Your Majesty, I don't skin people. In fact, the ancestors of the Bolton family stopped skinning people after they came to the continent of Essos. It's too bloody and barbaric, and it will arouse customers' resentment." , bring the reputation of Rose Group to bad."

"Do you know what the North is like now?" Dany asked.

"I'm concerned. I heard that Robb Stark led the nobles of the North to the riverlands south to fight for the Iron Throne," Jon said.

"He's not interested in the Iron Throne, he's mainly interested in avenging his father."

"How can you be sure that he is really not interested in the Iron Throne? Your Majesty, please forgive me, but 15 years ago, Robert Baratheon also rebelled under the banner of revenge, but finally sat on the Iron Throne." Jon sneered .

"What are your plans for the future?" Dani changed the topic, and asked tentatively: "The situation in the Seven Kingdoms is chaotic, and the four kings are fighting for hegemony. You can join one of them, and you may have a chance to restore the glory of your ancestors."

"This..." Jon was stunned, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you also have the idea of ​​regaining the Iron Throne? To be honest, our ancestors were all self-exiled, the family title is still there, and there is no resentment towards the current family."

"Well, I won't go around in circles anymore." Dany said unceremoniously: "I think that with the reputation and integrity of the Rose Group, I am qualified to serve me. At this time, my purpose is to flatten the slave bay and dismantle slavery , I am not sure about the future at the moment."

"Thank you for His Majesty's approval, we just stick to the final bottom line."

"So, are you and your rose group willing to pledge allegiance to me? Continue to be mercenaries and work for money; serve me, and your strength will be used in the meaningful and just cause of freeing slaves. How do you choose?" Dany asked.

"Your Majesty, you are making an enemy of the world." Jon replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

"The world has been ruled by the Dragon King for 5000 years," Dany said.

"You only have three baby dragons."

"My enemies are rubbish, enough young dragons."

"" Bearded Jon Snow.

Me and my rose ball are trash too?

He blushed and wanted to refute, but the reality was that their five thousand elite mercenaries were swept away by the queen in front of him like garbage.

"The slave owners of Kaiyuan and Meereen have too much wealth, enough to hire mercenary groups from the whole world. At that time, they will learn the lesson of today's defeat. At least, there will be countless dragon shooting crossbows hidden in the tents Middle." Jon the Bearded said a tactic against the dragon.

"Hehe, Captain Jon, do you think those slave owners have a chance to form an alliance again? Do you think dragons can only breathe fire?" Dany's laughter was as clear as a bell.

"Let me ask you, Party A is fighting for money, and Party B is fighting for the lives of himself and his family. Party B has more people than Party A, and can also know all of Party A's tactics and camp defense status. Party A has nothing against Party B. You know, who will win?"

"This..." Jon froze.

"Today's surprise attack is by no means a special case. In the future, any battle between me and the Ghis Alliance will be similar to today - the information between the two sides is completely unequal.

Go back and discuss it with your companions.

I don't ask for it, and if I refuse, I just pay the ransom according to tradition and swear never to join my enemies. "

After speaking, Danni turned her horse's head and prepared to go back to Baiyangpo.

"Wait a minute." Jon stopped her and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, please tell me, how will you use the rose ball?"

Dani reined in her horse and turned around, saying, "I will expand the Mother of Dragon's guard, the cavalry and infantry will be expanded several times, and the soldiers will be selected from the slave army. If you pledge your allegiance to me, I will break up all the members of the Rose Corps. To form the generals and officers of the new regiment."

It's not possible that every mercenary is Jorah Mormont, but it's certainly okay to command a team of ten and a hundred.

The Rose Corps has 800 backbone members, even if they are only promoted to captains of the ten-man team, Dani immediately has 8000 more soldiers.

No matter how poor the quality of the slave soldiers is, they are better than the peasant soldiers with dung forks and sickles in Westeros, right?

As for why not select the cadres from the original Dragon Mother Guard and form another army, so that loyalty is more guaranteed?

Here lies the problem. The members of the Dragon Mother Guard were all slaves before, and there are too few people who have received military training. Even the cadres in the army at this time are not qualified.

For example, Dany's cavalry commander, Simon with the scar, Whitebeard chose him as the commander for only two reasons: the voice is loud enough, and the political background is good.

Well, the so-called political component means that he was born as a slave, hated the slave owner extremely, and had a high personal worship for Dany who liberated the slaves.

The real technical and tactical literacy is actually very rookie, and his equestrian skills are not even as good as Dani's maid Yili.

If the Ghis Alliance didn't take the initiative, she would let Jorah and Barristan train them for another year or so.

But Jon is right in saying that slave owners have money and can hire mercenaries and assassins from all over the world.

She must take advantage of Kaiyuan and Meereen's defeat and weakness at this time, lead the army northward, and take those two cities within three months.

Well, it usually takes two months to half a year for the mercenaries of the trading city-states on the west coast to travel to Meereen.

"Your Majesty, Jon Snow is willing to pledge his allegiance to you." The bearded captain walked quickly, came to Dany Horse, knelt down on one knee and said solemnly.

"Oh, where are your members?" Dany asked with a smile, hearing what he meant.

"The Rose Group was disbanded in my hands today. The members of the group are all voluntary and can stay to serve you loyally, but they no longer have a superior-subordinate relationship with me.

If the group members choose to leave, I will hand over the Winter Snow Rose Flag, and they can reorganize the rose group. "Jon Snow said loudly.

This is a smart guy!

Dani got off the horse, drew out the long sword at her waist, put the tip of the sword on the shoulder of the bearded captain, and said, "Do you still remember how to swear an oath to the monarch?"

"Probably." For Dany to treat his allegiance so seriously, Jon Snow was both excited and frightened, and at the same time, a sense of sacred ritual arose in his heart.

I swear, I will never disappoint the person who gave me such an honor!

He blushed and made a decision in his mind.

"Do you believe in the old gods or other gods now?" Dany asked solemnly.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I should believe in the old gods, but there is no weirwood in Essos; I may believe in the most popular red god on this continent (R'hllor, Lord of Light), but I think I have always been a Westeros. So, Your Majesty, I swear in the name of the Seven Gods!"

"Yes, I also believe in the Seven Gods." Dany smiled.

This is not a lie, as a monarch, Dany must have faith, and unbelievers are less accepted by the world than fallen ones.

She can't tell people, I believe in Tathagata Buddha and Sanqing, right?

Uh, that's not right, in modern society, she doesn't believe in Buddhism at all, nor does she believe in Sanqing.

Seven Gods: Father (judgment), Mother (motherly love and nurturing), Warrior (courage and victory), Maiden (innocence and purity), Blacksmith (craft and labor), Crone (wisdom), Stranger (death and the unknown) awe).

The Church of the Seven Gods does not have real gods. The Seven Gods only represent seven stages of life and seven noble virtues, which are not fundamentally different from the modern "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces".

Dani feels that the Seven Gods are almost the most advanced teachings in the world, and it doesn't matter if you believe in them.
