#334 - Chapter 68: Suppressing the Rebellion (I)
Liu Yuan raised his voice slightly and continued, "Actually, for me personally, whether or not to continue the slave system doesn't have much impact. However, liberating slaves is Daenerys' ideal, and since that's the case, I will definitely support her with all my strength. Here, I solemnly declare that I will support her. I tell you now, as long as it is under our rule, Meereen will never see slavery again! The future Slaver's Bay will no longer have slaves. Go back and tell your masters that they should learn from Pentos."
Bericcio Paenymion's face instantly turned as dark as ink, his voice carrying a hint of anger and threat: "Is this the answer you're giving me? Are you planning to reject my proposal? Is Meereen ready to bear the wrath of Volantis?"
Facing Bericcio Paenymion's question, Liu Yuan appeared exceptionally indifferent and disdainful. He sneered and responded, "Who do you think you are? Daring to say you represent Volantis. Dorcas Paenymion is an elder in your family, right? Even he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."
Liu Yuan's sharp gaze stared directly into his eyes: "If you want war, Meereen's 100,000-strong army is ready to fight at any time! I want to see if Volantis has the courage to accept the challenge!"
Hearing this, Bericcio Paenymion shrank back in embarrassment. Liu Yuan was right, he was indeed not qualified to represent Volantis. After all, his uncle Dorcas Paenymion was only one of the three Triarchs of Volantis, and also a member of the Elephant Party. Given the current tense situation, it is still unknown whether Dorcas Paenymion will be successfully re-elected. If he caused a war between the two countries due to his nonsense, I am afraid that before those angry people could tear him to pieces, his family would have executed him first.
Liu Yuan shifted his gaze to Yezzan zo Qaggaz, his eyes carrying a bit of scrutiny and authority, and said, "I have seen you before, you are Lhadiro's subordinate. You must have recognized my identity. Listen carefully, go back and tell Lhadiro that the world has changed, and those who stubbornly cling to the rules of the old era will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the new era. I hope he can consider carefully and make the right choice."
Facing Liu Yuan's impolite words, Yezzan zo Qaggaz did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord Galon! I will definitely convey your words without missing a single word."
Seeing that the two allies he had won over had both chickened out, Grazdan mo Eraz was secretly anxious. He quickly stood up, trying to continue to defend his side, shouting in a loud and激昂 voice: "Regent, no matter where, no matter what system, there are always some people who are rich and powerful, while others always live in poverty and destitution. The slave system, as our ancient tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years..."
However, before Grazdan mo Eraz could finish speaking, Liu Yuan interrupted him unceremoniously, with a clear look of impatience on his face, and retorted in a blunt tone, "Your traditions have nothing to do with me! Originally, the Queen was willing to negotiate with you, seeking a solution that both parties could accept. However, in my opinion, all of this is meaningless. When you decided to support the Sons of the Harpy rebellion, and even plotted to assassinate the Queen, you were already enemies. A mere Yunkai city is not qualified to negotiate with us. You tell the Wise Masters that it won't be long before the Meereenese army returns to Yunkai, and this time there will be no mercy!"
At this moment, Grazdan shouted with extreme emotion: "Regent, you can't do this..."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yuan turned to face the guards and ordered sternly: "Send them out!" Before the words finished, two Unsullied quickly stepped forward, one of them punched him hard in the stomach, held Grazdan and forcibly dragged him out of the hall. Afterwards, Yezzan and Bericcio bowed deeply to Liu Yuan, and then followed behind and exited the hall.
After they left, Liu Yuan once again turned his gaze to the representatives below, and declared righteously: "You must have already seen our position on those slave owners! From now on, I hope you will behave yourselves. Since you have decided to follow Queen, you must trust her without reservation. Soon, the Department of Government Affairs will issue a series of new policies, which will properly settle the livelihood and housing issues of the free people. At the same time, we also hope that you can actively contribute to the prosperity and development of Meereen." Then, without listening to those people's praises, he waved his hand to let them leave.
After everyone left, Barristan couldn't help it. He turned and walked towards the throne, and said, "Lord Galon, let me go and attack Yunkai!" His eyes were firm, he really couldn't accept Liu Yuan's domineering, and wanted to go out and hide.
Liu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, you lead the Heavy Cavalry Regiment and twenty thousand-man teams of the Beast-Faced Men, and another squadron will be responsible for cooperating with you! Take Yunkai as soon as possible. This time, we must completely occupy it, so the surrounding small city-states must also be captured. I hope to see a satisfactory result before the Queen returns."
Barristan stroked his chest and saluted: "Yes, Lord Galon. I will definitely offer Yunkai to Her Majesty the Queen." The rules and regulations of Daenerys' army are already relatively complete, and even high-level officials need orders to mobilize the army. Barristan can only mobilize his directly-subordinate Heavy Cavalry Regiment, and the mobilization of other troops requires subsequent orders.
Tyrion walked to Liu Yuan's side and said, "I believe your judgment, Galon. But in this way, we are declaring war on the entire Slaver's Bay."
Liu Yuan said indifferently: "So what? Since they have to unite to pose a threat to us. Then, before they unite, defeat them one by one, then they will not have any danger. You are the temporary Prime Minister, you only need to grasp the direction. As for the remaining work, leave the professional things to professional people! If you don't understand, ask more questions, and don't pretend to understand and make random decisions."
Night gradually enveloped the city, but Meereen was still noisy. Groups of soldiers flooded the streets and alleys of the city like a tide. They stormed into houses aggressively, and then escorted out groups of crying men, women, old and young. Faced with this sudden invasion, some people fearlessly resisted, but were quickly met with cruel and merciless suppression.
Each operation was launched by several Unsullied leading a squad of Beast-Faced Men to search and arrest. These cold-blooded Unsullied obeyed the orders issued by their superiors without any deviation; and the Beast-Faced Men, fearing the majesty of the Unsullied, did not dare to engage in any favoritism or perversion of the law.
