Chapter 86 Tribal Assembly
When Mungo announced that a general meeting of all tribes would be held soon, everyone began to discuss excitedly.
The legendary stories about the khal also spread rapidly throughout the tribe with the help of the old tribe members.
Harsha, known as the "smart nose", can be said to be a leader in this trend. He often talks a lot when hunting in the wild or drinking in the tent.
But this person is by no means boasting without basis. He witnessed Mungo's rise from a coward to a khal. He was one of the six thousand warriors who rushed to the Dark River, and was also a warrior who climbed the walls of Qohor first. Later, he followed Kosoro to stop Drogo.
"Mungo Khal is a person blessed by the sky, the earth, and the horse god. He has a body as hard as steel and endless wisdom. He is the horse riding the world in the prophecy. Victory is like the wind, and he is always by his side. So, we will do whatever he says to reform, and that will be correct." Harsha always claims to people like this.
No matter what he said, people were willing to believe that this was the absolute truth. The huge wealth he brought back from the war alone was enough to convince people.
Moreover, Hasha also made many outstanding achievements with his keen sense of smell. Even the legendary figure of the tribe, Kosoroko, respected him very much during his lifetime and wished him to live in the blessing of the horse god for all his life.
As time passed, the weather was still very hot. The day of the tribal meeting was getting closer and closer. The relevant measures of reform began to spread everywhere. This was the news released by the official appointed by Mongo, Ofer.
One morning, when everyone woke up, they found that a large open space on the east side of the camp was filled with various ropes and materials needed to build the site.
More and more carriages drove out of the camp and drove to the open space to unload the goods. The surprised tribesmen walked over to watch.
The craftsmen from Kohor drew many white lines along the open space, and then many white tents were slowly built.
Among them was a particularly huge dome tent, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people living at the same time.
What made the Dothraki even happier was that fences were set up on the east and west sides of the open space, which looked like two huge racecourses for competitions. There were also many dummies and targets inside, and everyone's expectations had reached the highest point.
Although this conference was called the All-Tribe Conference, there was actually no such large venue that could accommodate 200,000 people at the same time. Only the tribes elected as the ten heads of households could actually attend the meeting, and the others could only stand outside the venue to watch the grand event.
On the day of the conference, a golden sun was embedded in the clear sky, and everything was covered with gauze clothes, and each blade of grass was inlaid with a thin golden edge.
The vast grassland connected the sky, and the wind lazily blew in the sea of grass. The white tents and clouds floated in the blue sea and clear sky like sails. The gilded banner of the galloping horse on the top of the tent emitted a dazzling golden light and fluttered in the wind.
The low and long horn sounded throughout the world, and the dense crowd rushed out of the camp shoulder to shoulder, surrounding the entire venue.
Mungo, accompanied by the officer of affairs, Orver, and the scholar Bas Porter, stood on the high platform in the center of the venue. From then on, it was a dark mass with no end in sight.
He formally read out all the reform measures, and at the same time, someone from the stage would specifically pass on these decrees to every corner in the distance.
Most of the ordinary tribesmen seemed not interested in these measures, but they could not help getting excited when they saw Kao standing on the stage.
Deafening cheers suddenly burst out, cutting through the sky and spreading across the entire grassland, until the horn on the stage blew three times, and the venue was completely quiet.
Of course, there were also many warriors outside the venue who were very concerned about this reform. These people had already been familiar with the relevant measures, and the honors of the governor and blood guard made them difficult to resist, not to mention that it was related to the sharing of the spoils.
Hasha was one of them. When Kao read out all the reform measures, he went directly to the scholar in charge of the registration list and signed up to run for the election of the ten heads of households.
Then, he began to look for support from others, because the election of the Ten Household Leaders required the recommendation of the thousand households in his tribe.
There were also some people with special skills such as horse training, tracking, and leather making, including more than 500 craftsmen and scholars brought from Qohor, and the Volantis slaves who had just become free citizens. They all looked forward to joining the thousand households of the blood guard of the khal.
After the speech came to an end, it was time for selection. Most people who did not pay attention to the reform, they listened to the discussions of others, and no longer had the mood to feel the scene of the whole tribe celebrating. They began to worry about their own interests. However, all those who were capable decided to give it a try.
With Hasha's influence, he quickly gathered many of his own thousand households and shouted to them:
"Everyone be quiet, I won't delay you for too long, I have a purpose for calling you all here."
Seeing that the noise of the crowd had quieted down, some people pricked up their ears nervously and listened, he continued:
"Yes, there are two purposes. The first is to tell you that I want to run for the head of the ten households, but my ultimate goal is to enter the blood guard of the khal or be elected as the head of the thousand households. Many of you know me and know my achievements. It will not be a wrong choice for you to recommend me."
This sentence caused cheers from the crowd, and some people frowned. Hasha amplified his voice and said:
"Second, it is for you. I hope that all those who are capable can sign up to run for the leadership of the ten households. All the tribesmen in the thousands of households must give their support. You can read these decrees and select the Blood Alliance Guards. The condition for Thousand Households is to be elected as the head of ten households first. If someone is lucky enough to be selected as a blood ally guard, it will be of great benefit to us Qianhu in the future. If he is not selected, he can come back and become the head of ten households. "
Everyone fell into silence, thinking about these words. After a while, everyone agreed to this method. At the same time, they also recognized Hasha's wisdom. The other party's achievements were not just luck.
At this moment, in the central tent of the venue, there was a group of free people asking for help from Kaa. After listening to what these people said carefully, Mengge said to the clerk Ofo in a very stern tone:
"Why not allow free people to join the army and run for election as heads of ten households? Which words in my decree indicate origin, and which words restrict race? This problem must be solved immediately."
"Kaa, it's not that we want to restrict the free people. The main reason is that the free people can't ride horses. No thousand households are willing to accept soldiers who can't ride horses." Ofo said rather stubbornly.
"Ah, Kaa, there seems to be nothing wrong with saying this."
The expressions of the freedmen became a little ugly, and they hesitated to speak. The slight flash of light in their eyes revealed their uneasiness.
Meng Ge stood up and paced back and forth. The atmosphere in the tent became extremely solemn. He thought carefully for a moment and said:
"Let's do this! I will first form a separate battalion for the free people. I hope you can prove yourself and truly integrate into the Dothraki country."
