#93 - Chapter 17: Horse Taming
The Dothraki warriors are actually very strong, with a simple and primitive social structure and extremely low productivity. Most of their living needs have to be met by robbing their neighbors. These neighbors are not only the surrounding foreign tribes, but also other Dothraki tribes.
Dothraki people spend most of their lives migrating. In such a living environment, people who are not physically strong enough cannot survive at all. Even newborn babies who are born disabled, or weak children, will be abandoned in the wilderness to fend for themselves.
Therefore, adult Dothraki warriors, in terms of physical fitness alone, are definitely not inferior to some of the top soldiers of Westeros. In a one-on-one fight, two Unsullied may not be able to defeat a Dothraki warrior. If Liu Yuan hadn't launched a surprise attack at night with superior forces, and his soldiers' equipment and tactics hadn't been very effective against them, although victory would have been certain, he would have had to pay a greater price, and some might have escaped. The four hundred warriors who have already been incorporated are already a force to be reckoned with. Liu Yuan has set up a separate "Feathered Camp" for them.
Compared to these people, Liu Yuan values the young people even more. They have a good foundation, strong physique, and excellent horsemanship and archery skills. While they are young, he can completely influence their ideas, which is much easier than those adult warriors. As long as they are well trained, they will be the sharpest knives in his hands in the future.
Here, I want to talk about the customs of the Dothraki people. Their weddings start at dawn and end at dusk. This day is full of endless open-air banquets and battles. Women wearing deep red, yellow, and orange veils dance at the wedding feast to the beat of drums, while adult warriors freely enjoy them under the gaze of the entire khalasar. Dothraki people mate like animals, with no privacy in the khalasar. Their concepts of sin and shame are also completely different from the common concepts in the world.
Except for people with status and position, such as the Khal, Ko, blood riders, and Khalak, most people do not have fixed partners. In fact, this is also related to the Dothraki people's perennial battles. Many children may not even be able to determine who their father is. Therefore, children born in the tribe are raised together.
Those who have survived to this day and left offspring are all excellent warriors. Therefore, there are many warriors of other ethnicities among the Dothraki people, and they can also gain the tribe's approval. Dothraki people are not discriminated against because of skin color, ethnicity, or age. Basically, any man who can ride a war horse and wield an arakh can become a warrior. The only criterion for judging a warrior is his battle record. A simple way is to look at how long his hair is. However, Dothraki people rarely let children under the age of 14 go to the battlefield.
Liu Yuan is very satisfied with these young people, but there are too few of them. So he called Misda over and asked him, "Misda, are you satisfied with your current life?"
Misda said nervously, "Khal... oh no, Lord Lord. Everything else is fine, but the warriors are still a little unaccustomed. Please forgive me! Please rest assured, they will adapt, give me some more time." In fact, they are dissatisfied with many things. The war knives and bows and arrows distributed by Liu Yuan are very sophisticated, and they are very handy after they are familiar with them. But the armor and helmets provided to them violate the customs of the Dothraki people. Although they were a little resistant, they still obeyed the order to wear them.
The strongest reaction was actually to the food. The biggest difference between the Dothraki people and other nomadic peoples is that they don't herd sheep, and they rarely eat mutton. They call themselves 'horse people', and they only graze horses, eat horse meat, and drink fermented mare's milk. They firmly believe that only in this way can they make their bodies as strong as war horses.
This incident even caused a mutiny. These guys dumped all the pork and mutton sent by the logistics on the ground, shouting to kill horses and eat meat! The nearby two Unsullied infantry battalions surrounded the "Feathered Camp" in an instant, with spears and shields standing in rows. Fortunately, the Dothraki people were just making trouble over their treatment, not really rebelling. Both sides were very restrained and did not take action.
But Liu Yuan would not indulge these guys! Damn it, war horses are so expensive! You actually want to use them as rations. Since you are working under my command, you have to eat what I give you. If you are disobedient, just whip them. If they are still not honest, then continue to whip them. Even wild horses can be tamed, let alone you 'horse people'.
Already extremely angry, he carried two leather whips and rushed into the camp under the gaze of thousands of people. Then, to everyone's astonishment, everyone witnessed the horror of their lord. The two whips had already danced out countless afterimages, and all the Dothraki warriors were no match for him. No matter who it was, as long as they were touched, they would be whipped away.
Some smart people ran back to put on armor, but that didn't work either. The lord's whip seemed to have magic power. Even through the armor, the power was so painful that it pierced the body. 1:400, all the Dothraki people were beaten without any resistance. They could only lie on the ground and wail, twitching from time to time.
Even Grig, who was fully armored and came to protect him, stood dumbfounded outside the arena, watching all this in disbelief. He put his battle ax on the ground and knelt on one knee, muttering, "Gods witness..." Until this moment, he put down all his pride and sincerely surrendered.
Finally, Liu Yuan's anger subsided, and he called the camp's doctors to heal them. Then he coldly dropped a sentence: "If you enter my military camp, you have to obey me obediently. Look at how I've spoiled you, you still want to eat horse meat? I'll give you what you have to eat. Don't say I'll give you mutton, even if I feed you sheep dung, you have to swallow it. I'll punish you to eat grass for three days, starting from today."
These troublemakers were in pain for three full days, and there was no way to rest. In the end, they were carried by the slaves in the hard labor camp to march, and their wailing could be heard all the way. Of course, Liu Yuan didn't really give them grass to eat. He gave them some wild vegetables mixed with herbs, and then mixed with some barley.
The one who felt the deepest was Misda, who was a smart person. He put on his armor early, so that he would have a better chance of saving his life if a conflict really broke out. As a result, Liu Yuan recognized him in the crowd at a glance, and took extra care of him. He rewarded him with a few more whips. Others were whipped four or five times at most, but he was whipped ten times. The pain that went deep into his soul still made him tremble all over whenever he thought about it!
"Oh ~ give you some more time to get used to it?" Liu Yuan asked casually. Misda trembled all over. Although it had been more than ten days, he fell to his knees with a plop and said, "Lord Lord, they are already used to it. We can fight for you, please give us a task!"
Of course, Liu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. He said lightly, "That's right, I have a new task for you. I want to expand the "Feathered Camp", but I lack qualified soldiers."
