Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest - #211 - Chapter 213 North and South Houses
Chapter 211 North and South Houses
After four months, Mongo returned to his loyal holy city of Vaes Dothraki.
According to the time of correspondence between him and Bachelor Bass Potter, it can be known that Westeros officially entered 299 AC a month ago.
Mengge returned to the grassland this time, and the speed along the way was not fast because he was waiting for someone.
Representatives of freedmen from the city-states of Slaver’s Bay, as well as merchant groups from Qarth.
Some of these people are elected or elected by people from all walks of life in accordance with local customs.
They will receive Mongo’s canonization in the Holy City, and then return to their respective regions to serve as officials in the places where Dothraki rule.
The remaining people accepted his recruitment or voluntarily swore to join the Bloodriders.
They will stay in the Holy City, act as hostages, take it as their duty to protect the great Kaa, fight for him in all directions, and make achievements.
Meng Ge is waiting for this group of people, and there is also a group of people with the same identity waiting for him in the Holy City.
Those people came from the northern kingdoms that the Dothraki conquered, Ivervelon, the Orb Peninsula, and Iban.
Yes, at the same time that Mongo brought Qarth into his territory, the Northern Expedition led by Elihu Phoenix captured the Port of Iban, and the Iban Islands followed suit.
From this point of view, Dothraki has become a country with vast land and diverse ethnic groups.
A mere ten thousand household system was no longer enough to maintain the kingdom, or the empire’s rule over the region.
In this regard, Mongo took two approaches.
One is assimilation, mainly targeting the Ifverlon and Lazarin people.
They are geographically bordering Dothraki, and even originally shared the same land. Their own civilization is even more backward than Dothraki.
Meng Ge mobilized their priests and the upper echelons of the tribe to vigorously promote the concept of one ancestor and one bloodline.
They are all descendants of the horse god who came out of the Womb Lake of Our Lady Mountain, but Ivervelon went north and the Lazarin people went south.
By accident, Ivervelon lost his way in the forest, and the Lazarin ran too far.
Now, I have found you, my long-lost relatives, and it is time to return to the embrace of Our Lady of the Mountain.
The Forest Walkers and Lazarim of Ivervelon are both gentle and simple races. Moreover, in terms of appearance alone, they are completely similar to the Dothraki. The Lazarins are even miniature versions of Dothraki. people.
Therefore, ordinary people have a high degree of recognition of this statement, and they have also spontaneously made up for its shortcomings.
For example, why are the Lazarim not as tall as the Dothraki?
That must be because they have run too far, and Our Lady Mountain and Womb Lake can no longer feed them.
Why did the Dothraki always raid them before.
In a big family, it is not normal for an elder brother to bully his younger brother, not to mention that they run away so far. This behavior is so different from that of a rebellious son.
On weekdays, they did not offer sacrifices to the sky and the earth, so their father and mother became angry and sent Brother Dothraki to punish them, hoping that Brother Lazarin would realize his mistake as soon as possible and return to the family.
The same goes for Yvervelon on the other side, and it’s simpler.
The Dothraki were afraid of the mines and the big forest where the Forest Walkers were. They did not plunder them, and even avenged the Ibans on their behalf. This was not exactly what a big brother looked after his younger brother.
Ordinary people are easy to fool, but the upper class who know a little bit about politics are afraid of the power of Dothraki and have no reason to oppose this good thing.
In their opinion, the identity of a Dothraki is extremely noble, much more noble than the king of a small country.
Therefore, the process of Dothraki’s assimilation of Ifverlon and Lazarin went extremely smoothly.
The really difficult thing is the second way, domination.
Ober Peninsula, Slaver’s Bay, Qarth, and even Iban, they all have their own civilization and history, and have a long-standing hatred with the Dothraki.
Most of the residents on the Ober Peninsula are Salol survivors.
It was a nation with a glorious history. Their country, Salol, was destroyed by the Dothraki.
Slaver’s Bay, in the words of the Gith themselves, Gith was a world empire when the Valyrians were still wearing animal skins and herding sheep.
Their well-documented history dates back to the Age of Heroes, five thousand years ago, and even the legend begins with the creation of the world.
Qarth does not belong to the Free Trade City. It was originally a kingdom, and its name was also Qarth.
As for the grievances between him and the Dothraki, everything will be clear just by looking at the skeletons in the red wasteland.
Although Iban seems relatively backward compared to Slaver’s Bay and Qarth, its civilization is not short.
Before the Doom of Valyria, Iban was ruled by rulers with the title of God-King, and there were at least hundreds of God-Kings in its history.
Moreover, the Iban people also have the characteristic of reproductive isolation, which is very unfavorable for foreign management.
Regarding the above countries and regions, Mengge thought for a long time, but failed to find a reasonable way to govern them.
In the end, he decided to learn from the official system of the Liao Kingdom before time travel and establish a dual-track or dualized governance structure, that is, divided into northern and southern courtyards.
The Beiyuan governs tribes and pastoral areas. It mainly manages the affairs of Dothraki households and other nomadic peoples. It is in charge of the national army and horses. All military and state affairs are handled by the Beiyuan.
The South Court governs city-states and regions, and mainly manages the affairs of the Gith, Qarth and other ethnic groups. The civil affairs and taxes of city-states in each region are all under the jurisdiction of the South Court.
In addition to observing the core laws of the Great Code, such as the prohibition of slavery, each ethnic group is autonomous and governed according to the customs of each city-state. Local people govern local people and adapt to local conditions.
After that, Meng Ge will set up a king’s hand in the North and South Courts respectively, that is, the Prime Minister of the North and South Courts.
The Prime Minister of the Northern Court assists the king and is in charge of military and state affairs, as well as tribal civil affairs. His subordinate officials are filled by tens of thousands of Dothraki households.
The Prime Minister of the Southern Court is in charge of the civil affairs of the regional city-state, and its subordinate officials can be filled by any ethnic group.
On the surface of this system, the North and South Houses are juxtaposed. In fact, the main authority is the North House, and the most important core power is still in the hands of the Dothraki.
Because the North Court is in charge of the army and the South Court is in charge of the people. Officials from the North Court can be transferred to the South Court, but officials from the South Court may not be able to be transferred to the North Court. There is a birth restriction.
Moreover, Meng Ge will not let untrusted foreign officials hold the highest official position in the South Court.
In addition, he will also appoint Dothraki leaders to be assigned to various regions to supervise local officials. In wartime, he will be responsible for recruiting troops and commanding the army.
This is the connection between the two sets of official systems in the north and the south. The purpose is to unify power to the center and eventually to the hands of Meng Ge.
Now, the leaders assigned to each region are Meng Ge’s most loyal subordinates. In the future, these people will be filled by his descendants.
Thus, even if the Dothraki were divided, Mongo’s descendants would rule over the worlds he conquered.
