The mighty cold wave in December blows south from the Great Plains of North America to the winter end of the Granada River, and continues southward for more than a thousand miles, turning into a cool autumn wind outside Otter City.
This core city-state of the northern Huastec tribes, this fertile land at the mouth of the Tampen River, has become completely dead, deserted and desolate during the long period of plundering and fighting that lasted for five or six years. Only those who came from the kingdom
The caravan carried out trade in this desolate seaside city-state, and became a rare link between the fighting tribes around it.
The canine descendants plundered the south regardless of high or low, and the life-and-death fights were extremely cruel. The formerly respected northern Huastec gods, priests and nobles were either turned into corpses buried in the swamps, or turned into treasures collected by the Red Crow tribes.
The skull was either deliberately attacked by the canine battalions of the Qingqiu tribes, and died in an unknown manner.
Only some of the Wastek-heads who were keen and decisive, or who were close to the southern jungles, promptly abandoned their original camps, walled cities, and even city-states, and led their tribes to move south smoothly. They needed to move at least three hundred miles south through jungles, swamps, and seashores.
, to arrive at Pantepec, the ancient ruins of the city by the river, "the hill with the flag flying." Then, the tribe had to cross the Pantepec Flag Hill River, a tributary of the Tampen River system.
, joining the Huastec Alliance in the south, and finally escaping from the terrifying front of the canine descendants of the wasteland.
So far, at least 40,000 of the 300,000 Huastec tribes in the north have died in the war. Nearly 100,000 tribesmen have fled south and migrated. 80,000 to 90,000 tribesmen have fallen into the hands of the Red Crow tribes. 40,000 to 50,000 have been killed.
The Qiu tribes were forcibly taken away. The northern Huastec tribe alliance, which was once large in number but not good at fighting, completely collapsed, leaving only the last few tens of thousands of tribes scattered on both sides of the vast Tampeng River, and toward the Red Crow or Green Crow.
Qiu Dog descendants paid grain and tribute.
After this brutal war that lasted for several years, the situation in the humble northeastern corner of Central America became completely clear. Various large tribes formed an alliance, and many small tribes were either subordinate or divided, gradually forming a tripartite alliance.
Separate regimes, "Three Kingdoms".
North of the Tampeng River, the vast jungles, seashores and grasslands belong to the Red Crow Tribe Alliance. The old chief Amosi sits in the south, farming and managing the land. The young chief Alan goes north to the prairie, conquering and conquering everywhere. The entire Red Crow Tribe Alliance
The focus of the strategy gradually shifted from the south to the north, from increasingly costly raids to harvesting more and more farmland.
The six hundred miles from Otter City to Huanggu City, from the mouth of the Tampeng River to the upstream source of the tributary, this east-west connected river with fast currents is occupied by the growing enclave of the kingdom, with a population of more than 200,000.
The Qiu tribes are firmly in control!
In fact, the Qingqiu tribes in the wasteland, although nominally loyal to the Alliance, actually surrendered to the kingdom and had a strong canine background. They were the secret helpers of the Red Crow's southward raids. Qingqiu Jiedu, the poet chief Bala
Mo, not only sent Guakili messengers for a long time, using the kingdom's bronze weapons and tools, pottery and salt to exchange for the captive Ding Zhuang in the hands of Red Crow. He even personally mobilized and sent thousands of fully armed canine battalions to fight.
Under the banner of the Red Crow, the Huastec tribes were repeatedly attacked and robbed, and the Huastec people were driven southward.
After the Huastec tribes in the north were almost destroyed, the Qingqiu tribes even more brazenly sent out the settled dog-born flag troops, taking the surrendered Huastec tribes with them, to settle and expand along the long tributary of the Tampeng River, occupying the Gas
The old land of the Turk tribes.
The direction of the strategy for the entire Qingqiu "County" has officially shifted from the impoverished, barren and desolate northern and western wastelands to the warmer and rainier eastern river valleys and coastal plains that are more suitable for farming. After all, precipitation in the wastelands is sparse and the land is barren, almost
You can't grow food. No matter how much gold and silver there are in the depths of the wasteland, you can't feed the more and more wasteland tribes that are gathering!
This spring, following the memories of Guakili scouts, the Qingqiu tribes explored the kingdom's caravan in the wasteland, and finally found the name pointed out by the Great Chief of Death seven hundred miles northwest of Huanggu City, deep in the Sacascart Wasteland.
The "giant silver mine hills" and "open-pit silver mine veins stretching into hills" are what we are looking for.
This large open-pit silver mining area, later known as Zacatecas-Fresnillo, has giant silver-rich veins that stretch for dozens or hundreds of miles, storing more than one-tenth of the world's silver, allowing
The emperors of Ming Dynasty cried and fainted because they were short of money!
In fact, this area with the highest silver reserves in the world has been continuously mined for more than five hundred years with an annual output of tens of millions of taels or more! Until the modern era of the 21st century, the entire mining area alone has been mined for more than 500 years.
The largest silver mine, Socito, can still produce 22 million ounces per year (approximately 20 million taels in the old system). However, the official fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongzhi period was only 3 to 4 million taels of silver a year, which is only
A fraction of the silver output of this great silver mining area!…
Of course, although the Qingqiu tribes discovered the prophesied "giant silver mine", they had absolutely no interest in mining, digging, or refining silver in the bitter cold and barren wasteland.
Silver, this kind of beautiful and heavy "white silver stone", to the canine tribes from the wilderness, is just an ordinary decoration that cannot be eaten or drunk. The "poor" Qingqiu tribe
What the tribesmen are thinking about is to continue to expand eastward, seize the banks of the Tampen River tributaries that the Huastecs abandoned after moving south, occupy more fertile land along the river that has been developed by the Huastecs, and grow more food!
At this moment, the first batch of cassava stems was also transported from the port of Jinwan City, transported to Otter City where the Tanpeng River flows into the sea, and handed over to the vanguard flag teams of the Qingqiu tribes. The first piece of cassava stems from the Qingqiu tribes
The cassava fields will gradually grow new seedlings on the homeland of the Huastec people...
Three hundred miles south from the mouth of the Tampeng River, crossing the Qiqiu River, is the increasingly prosperous Southern Huastec Alliance, or it can also be called the "Silver Crow Tribe Alliance"! With the more than 100,000 Silver Crow Tribes in Crow City
As the core, the 300,000 to 400,000 Huastek tribes in the south have all nominally joined the "Silver Crow Tribe Alliance" to face increasingly strong threats from all parties.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the Mexicans continue to launch wars of conquest, the war in the world is becoming more and more intense, and the scale of the fighting is also getting larger and larger. And the originally loose world
Various tribes were also forced to form closer tribal alliances in this continuous confrontation. The same was true for the Huastec tribes in the south, and they had to form the Silver Crow Alliance.
Around the Silver Crow Alliance, there are the Red Crow Tribe Alliance "as fierce as a bison" in the north, the Qingqiu Tribes "as fierce as a coyote" in the west, the Totonak Alliance "as powerful as a python" in the southeast, and the Totonak Alliance in the southwest.
It is the suzerain state that the Huastec people pay tribute to, "devouring like a crocodile monster of chaos". It is conquering the tribes in the clouds and has no time to pay attention to the Mexica Alliance in the northeast. Among the four directions, the only one that can make the Silver Crow tribes have a little trust
The power is actually only in the southeast...
"O Lord God of the Supreme Sun! O Wind God who controls the hurricane... I hope this mission can be completed safely and not offend the increasingly powerful Totonak tribes!... For the purpose of my coming here this time, to rule Totonak
Ke’s snake mother should also be happy...right?..."
After more than four hundred miles of sailing, Silver Crow Elder Cao Baiya finally arrived at Golden Bay on the banks of the Adobe River, the central capital of the Totonak Alliance, with more than a hundred Silver Crow warriors in ten tribal war boats.
City. And when he stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the still densely populated port of Jinwan City, he could no longer see the prosperous trade of more than ten years ago, nor the descendants of the priests and gods from talking and laughing, let alone
to the caravans and merchant ships from all over the world.
Beside the more neatly built and wider port, there are only the Totonak civilians who are hunched like ants carrying grain on their backs, only the fierce-looking grain collectors wearing armor and holding axes, and only the solemn priests who are inspecting the grain...
There is a heavily fortified Mexican navy fleet that is loading food and preparing to go to the Mayan coast!
"O Lord God! O Ancestor! This is?!..."
When Elder Silver Crow looked at it more carefully for a while, he couldn't help but tremble all over, feeling a bone-chilling chill from his heart...
"Witness the Lord God! The balance tilted to the right!... The grain transportation in this village has reached 2,400 kilograms, which is the weight of twelve standard stones! The leader of the team has taken the bamboo sticks and is ready to go!..."
"Yes, yes!...Thank you, priest!..."
"Witness the Lord God! The balance tilted to the left! ...The food transportation in this village is only ten standard stones, which is four hundred kilograms less!"
"Ah! Lord Priest! Please! Please!!... We will return to the flag team right now to make up for the missing food!..."
"The balance is tilted to the left, and the food transportation is not enough! ...According to the teachings of the Gods during the war...The leader of the team will be beheaded, and the food transportation team will be slaughtered on May Day! Someone is coming!..."
"Ah! Lord Samurai of the Plateau! Please! My uncle is a nobleman in the city...Ah! No!!..."
The screams stopped, and an old head with a feather crest was quickly inserted into a tall Mexica spear and stood on the outside of the port, still dripping with blood. Then, several more
There was a short scream, and four or five red-stained civilian heads were piled up at the bottom of the spear, as if they were the real "cornerstone" supporting the Mexica spear...
At this moment, the crowded Jinwan Port fell silent for an instant. The grain transport teams from various camp fields were silent, and some were even trembling, but no one dared to cause trouble, and only became more obedient. Similarly, the kingdom warriors who transported food were
Without stopping, baskets of tortillas and beans were piled into the cabins of the galleys and catamaran warships, like anteaters devouring ants. At the port, the chief priest who inspected the goods looked indifferent and continued to work.
He weighed the items on a giant scale made of stone and wood, recorded the accounts with a wild goose brush, and continued the inspection without a smile.
Seeing such a cold and murderous scene, the few leaders of the flag team at the back turned pale at the same time. They quickly lowered their voices and asked for help from the familiar food transport flag team around them. They took out the kingdom gems as currency and bought them at a high price.
Surplus grain. However, there are only a few flag teams. It seems that they have been prepared in advance. They have brought in a lot of extra grain and increased the price ten times. Looking more closely, these flag teams with extra grain all come from nearby farms.
The farms all have a former Jinwan background...
"Hiss! After being conquered by the Mexica, the Totonac tribe on the seaside seemed to have been completely replaced from bones to skin, and they looked more like the Mexica! ... Ah
!They were burned from loose clay into solid pottery by the blue fire of the volcano demon... They also became as powerful as the Mexica people, cold and terrifying!... Compared with them, our Silver Crow tribe's
strength…"
Looking away for a moment, Silver Crow Elder Grass White Crow sighed deeply. He thought silently for a while before boarding the shore with a worried look. Then, under the protection of a group of seaside warriors wearing armor and holding spears, the Silver Crow tribe's
The envoys finally headed to the main temple at the highest point in Jinwan City.
