Chapter 129

As his friend, Eddard Stark had to take over the post of Prime Minister, only to realize that the royal family had owed a huge debt of six million golden dragons. His creditors included his queen Cersei's maiden family, Lannister family, The Tyrell family that controls the Reach, one of the Seven Kingdoms, the Church of the Seven Gods, Tyrosh's business and now the Free Trade Bank.

By lending money to the king, the Free Trade Bank soon opened up in the Seven Kingdoms and opened branches everywhere. Through the Free Trade Bank, Daenerys was able to learn the detailed information of Westeros, and Able to manipulate the power struggle in Westeros, and even the future Seven Civil War, with wealth backing.

And what about King Robert? He didn't know everything, and was still addicted to martial arts competition and material enjoyment, and completely disregarded the debt situation, in the name of welcoming the new prime minister, ordered a grand and extravagant martial arts conference.

However, Ye Ting knew that the whole plot of A Song of Ice and Fire actually started from here.

Yes, time has entered 298ac - by the way, ac refers to the Chronicle of Aegon, referring to the ancestor of Daenerys, the first "conqueror" of House Targaryen to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. The calendar used by the maesters and cultured men of Westeros in the year Geng Yu completed his coronation.

Now, in the Seven Kingdoms, the seeds of chaos have long been planted, and will soon erupt, even King Robert himself and a party like Eddard Stark will die under the political conspiracy, Then there is the battle of the heirs - the "Battle of the Five Kings".

All this is Daenerys' chance.

And just recently, Ye Ting's research has come to an end. Through the research of Daenerys' bloodline and the bloodline of Talonixia, Alexstrasza, and Ysera, he has found the dragon Ah Nimagus' method.

So, before returning to the world of "Harry Potter", he was going to temporarily leave Essos and go to King's Landing to play.

After all, I came to the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and saw Daenerys and her three dragons who represent the dragon family of "fire", but I didn't know the Stark family who represented "ice". almost anything.

In addition, he also thought about adding fuel to this huge conspiracy and making the world more chaotic.

Chapter 0180 King's Landing

According to Daenerys and Ye Ting's plan, while Ye Ting went to King's Landing to disrupt the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys also has a mission here, that is to sweep the Dothraki Sea.

After Ye Ting burned Khal Drogo and his Kou to death with dragon flames, Daenerys took over Khalazar of Khal Drogo, which is also the most powerful Khalazar in the entire Dothraki Sea, and any other Kharaza is no match for Drogo.

And now, based on this khalasar, Daenerys has established the most powerful cavalry regiment in the entire Essos and even Westeros.

As nomads who lived by raiding, the Dothraki themselves were natural cavalrymen, better than any knight. But they also have shortcomings, that is, they are mainly light cavalry, and there is no heavy cavalry.

There is of course a reason for this, the Dothraki believe that wearing armor is an act of cowardice, usually wearing painted leather vests, tied with horsehair leggings, and their weapons are also machetes, longbows and whips, such cavalry. It is basically invincible in field battles, but it is slightly insufficient in attacking fortifications. In this regard, the Dothraki have learned a painful lesson.

The most famous one was the Battle of Cohor, which took place more than 400 years ago. The most powerful of the Dothraki Seas at that time, Temerkao, led his Kharasa to attack Kohor, one of the Free Cities. The Kohors hired two mercenary regiments—the Bright Banners and the Second Sons—and subsequently purchased three thousand Unsullied. When the Unsullied arrived, Kohor's army was in pieces. But after the Unsullied lined up in front of the city gates, the Dothraki charged them eighteen times, but still failed to defeat the Unsullied Legion. After the battle, a total of 12,000 Dosraki people, including Temokao himself, died on the spot.

The Unsullied are typical heavy infantry - of course, they call themselves light infantry - they are castrated slave warriors, trained since childhood in Astapor (a city in Slaver's Bay), and are characterized by absolute obedience to their masters and faces. Fearless of war, their equipment includes short swords, shields, spears and spiked helmets, and they fight in a phalanx similar to the ancient Roman era. Lin's spear resisted the cavalry charge. Faced with such an opponent, even the Dothraki were helpless.

However, since joining Daenerys and believing in the Cult of the Dragon God, the fighting patterns of these Dothraki have changed. They wear leather and light armor made from the assembly line of Pentos, which is greatly improved. defense. In addition, Daenerys also selected a group of young warriors with firm beliefs and willingness to obey strict discipline. They wore heavy plate armor, replaced their weapons with lances, and began to train modern heavy cavalry tactics such as wall charges.

The nomadic cavalry, which had almost no rivals in the first place, coupled with the agricultural civilization—almost industrialized—produced equipment and heavy cavalry tactics, the chemical reaction between the two has long been enough. Now this is enough to sweep the entire Essos. cavalry regiment, which Daenerys named the Dragoons.

With such a group of cavalry, coupled with the infantry formed by the Pantos, and the large and small mercenary groups, Daenerys, who holds such a powerful force, is ready to attack the entire Dothraki Sea.

According to Ye Ting's estimation, the Seven Kingdoms will fall into chaos and civil war within a year. At that time, Daenerys should have completed the unification of the Dothraki Sea, and she can turn to Slave Bay to do what she wants. Do something long - free the slaves in Slaver's Bay.

After that, of course, it was time for the Free Trade City-State to publicly announce the change of flags, and then she led her troops across the narrow sea, landed in Dorne, and counterattacked the Seven Kingdoms.

...

After Daenerys secretly dispatched troops, Ye Ting also started his journey to Westeros. Everything in Pantos has been arranged, and the Dragon God Church was handed over to Melisandre. Ye Ting has always been at ease. , while the internal affairs of Pentos were handed over to Arianne.

With her dedication and a few months of getting along with her, she can now be regarded as someone who can be trusted - Ye Ting is still quite confident in her ability - Arianne herself is not as strong as Daenerys. That kind of great leadership and charisma, but her own political skills and level of intrigue are also quite good, and even completely surpassed Daenerys herself in political struggle, although as a "king" she is not as good as Dany. Liz, but as the Prime Minister, she is much more mature than Daenerys in handling political affairs.

So, Ye Ting himself disguised himself, and incognitoly boarded a merchant ship under the banner of Daenerys to go to King's Landing.

The distance from Pantos to King's Landing is not too far. Rather, it is the closest free trade city-state to King's Landing. In just one week, merchant ships arrived at the port of King's Landing.

At this moment, Ye Ting was standing on the deck, looking at the entire city of King's Landing.

Three hundred years ago, the highland in front of us was completely covered by forest, and only a few fishermen settled on the north bank of the Blackwater River, which was rushing deep into the sea.

Later, Aegon the Conqueror, ancestor of Daenerys, crossed over from Dragonstone, where his army landed, and he built his first rough defense of wood and dirt on the top of the highest hills fortress.

Today, wherever Ye Ting can see, it has become a bustling urban area, with mansions, pavilions, barns, brick warehouses, wooden hotels and market stalls, taverns, cemeteries and brothels, one after another. Even from a distance, he could still hear the noise in the fishing market.

Broad boulevards, winding streets, and alleys too narrow to accommodate two people walking side by side shuttle between buildings. The marble walls of St. Baelor's Cathedral encircle the top of the Visenia Hills, and seven crystal towers rise from it. On the other side of the Rhines Hills, lies the blackened ruins of the Dragon Cave, the ruins of a huge collapsed dome, and the bronze gate that has been closed for a century. Between the two hills, the Silent Sisters Street is as straight as an arrow, surrounded by a solid wall of siege.

More than a hundred piers are listed on the waterfront, and countless ships are moored in the port. Deep-water fishing boats and river rafts flocked endlessly, and boatmen went to and from Blackwater Bay on poles. Ye Ting recognized that most of the merchant ships around were from Pantos, because their styles were very different from the medieval-style ships in this world.

Ye Ting recognized them because he designed the Galen ship and the schooner himself, which imitated the earth. The mature designs of these two types of ships have been verified in the era of great navigation on the earth. These merchant ships continue to unload various cargoes from Pantos.

In addition, Ye Ting also saw a richly decorated yacht moored beside a whaling ship with a deep draft and a hull covered with black tar. Upstream there are a dozen or so long and narrow golden warships, with their sails rolled up and their iron rams lightly slapping the water.

Watching all this is the Red Keep on Aegon's Hill. It includes seven huge drum towers fortified with steel, a huge and grim fortress, domed halls and closed bridges, barracks, dungeons and barns, and heavy parapets full of arrows, all light red stone Build. Aegon the Conqueror ordered the construction of the castle, and his son Maegor the Cruel completed it. After completion, he beheaded every mason, carpenter, and architect who participated in the construction of the city, swearing that only the true dragon descendants could master the secrets of the Dragon King's fortress.

But now, the flag flying on the city wall is golden instead of jet black, and the place where the three-headed dragon once spit flames has become the high-spirited territory of the crowned stag of the Baratheon family.

However, Ye Ting believed that the flames of the giant dragon would burn here again, and soon the dragon flag with black background would float here again.

0181 Game of Thrones

After the arrival of the new "Hand of the King", Eddard Stark, in King's Landing, the first royal council was held soon after.

The Council of King Robert consisted of four high-ranking ministers in total.

The first was the eunuch Varys, who served as the head of intelligence in the Imperial Council and was actually the head of the spy. He gathers secrets through a web of intelligence woven by his "little birds".

Before Varys started his career, he had a good relationship with Illyrio Morpatis, the governor of Pentos who invested in Viserys and Daenerys. After he became a famous intelligence dealer in the Free Cities, he was arrested. The suspicious mad king Aerys II was invited to the court, and since then he has held the job of chief intelligence officer. After Robert overthrew Aerys II, he began to serve King Robert again.

He seemed to have some loyalty to House Targaryen, though, because he was part of Illyrio's plan to support Viserys. After Illyrio was burned to death and Daenerys established her rule in Pantos, at Ye Ting's prompt, Daenerys contacted the spy chief and started cooperation with him. From this point of view , he still deserves some trust.

However, he actually knew nothing about Ye Ting's arrival.

The second was the Duke of Renly, Robert's younger brother. He looked very similar to King Robert when he was young. He was tall and handsome, with black hair that fell to his shoulders and was always neatly groomed. He knew very well. The importance of his own charm, his taste and dedication in dressing, are enough to make any high-ranking official of the kingdom feel ashamed.

The third was Petyr Baelish, the King's Chancellor of the Exchequer, nicknamed "Littlefinger". was a man from five

Refers to the minor nobles of the peninsula, adopted by Duke Horst Tully of Riverrun as his adopted son. He and Eddard Stark's wife, Horst Tully's daughter, Catherine Tully, were childhood sweethearts and had been in love with her, but eventually Catherine married Eddard. In addition, Catelyn's sister Lysa Tully was very infatuated with him, and had an affair with him and became pregnant. Eventually Duke Horst broke them up and married Lysa, who had lost her virginity, to the old and heirless Vale. Duke Jon Arryn - also the former Hand of the King, is also the adoptive father of Robert and Eddard.

The fourth is the University of Pisier. The top of his bald head was covered with age spots, a few wisps of white hair hung on either side of his forehead, and his bachelor necklace was strung with twenty-four kinds of metal pieces, hanging heavy from neck to chest, long The snow-white beard drained to his chest. In this day and age, maesters have a variety of responsibilities, including but not limited to apothecaries, magicians, soothsayers, stargazers, military and political advisors, and even the role of midwives and child caregivers.

But Peysir is not a national teacher who conscientiously abides by the oath situation. From time to time, he will secretly do some unruly things according to his own needs, such as causing a tendency to influence political events. He has a special admiration for Duke Tywin.

Just a conclave and so many factions is enough to show how negligent and unpopular Robert's rule is - he's surrounded by idiots, conspirators, and sycophants, but everyone has their own little ones. abacus.

After Ed arrived, Robert's first task was to hold a grand tournament to celebrate the new Prime Minister's inauguration.

King Robert announced that the winner would be rewarded with 40,000 gold dragon coins, and the second place rewarded with 20,000 gold dragon coins. The winner of team melee combat is also 20,000, and the winner of archery is 10,000.

The bonus alone cost 90,000 gold dragon coins, and large sums of money are also spent including the guests of the banquet, the organization of the competition, etc. You must know that a gold dragon coin is a soldier's salary for a whole year, and A good set of armor costs four or five gold dragon coins.

This incident left Ed in a frenzy, and in addition, he had to take care to investigate the cause of the death of his adoptive father Jon Arryn and deal with his relics, he believed that Jon's death contained a major conspiracy.

In addition, he had to deal with the conflict between her two daughters. He came to King's Landing, and brought two of his five children, Sansa and Arya. The eldest daughter, Sansa, and Robert's son, Prince Joffrey, are engaged, and the trip is to complete the marriage, while the second daughter is purely for the fun.

Sansa was educated as a lady since she was a child. She has traditional femininity in line with her noble background, and has a strong interest in music, poetry, singing, dancing and other "women's leisure activities" such as embroidery. When she was young, she had a naive romantic fantasy about handsome princes, noble knights, and love, often dreaming of love stories described in stories and songs.

Arya, however, is a lively, lively girl who loves wars and adventures. This is the exact opposite of her well-behaved older sister, Sansa Stark, which puts the two sisters at odds.

Eddard accidentally harvested a litter of five young direwolf while hunting. Since Stark's family crest is a direwolf, he let each of his five children adopt one. On the way from the city to King's Landing, Arya's direwolf injured Prince Joffrey and escaped, so the vicious Queen Cersei demanded that Sansa's direwolf be used as a crime, lost her pet, and the relationship between Sansa and Arya continued. Nervous, she blamed Arya for the direwolf's killing.
