There was a moment of silence in the vast hall. The bonfire flickered in the hall, illuminating the two kings, casting the deepest shadows. The shadows swayed, but the people were silent. Avitt raised the pottery cup and drank tea quietly. Shuluo
He looked at the statue of the god and recited scriptures silently.
It wasn't until the cup was finished that King Avit put down the cup and spoke calmly.
"The four northern armies suffered heavy casualties during the Eastern Expedition. They also handed over a thousand elite fire warriors, which is considered to be the limit and cannot be consumed anymore. When I return to the capital, the warriors of these four armies will disband and return
Each state. Of course, the remaining more than 10,000 militiamen in the legions of the four states can be handed over to you for use in garrisoning camps or transporting grain and grass."
The Eastern Expedition was declared over, and the warriors from the four northern city-states were about to go home. They were forced to attack the city, and the casualties were too heavy. They were already full of complaints and could no longer be forced, otherwise they would really rebel. As for the militiamen who were recruited,
You can suffer a little harder.
In the world of Central America, the endurance of the militiamen is much higher than that of the Celestial Empire, and is roughly equivalent to that of India or ancient Egypt. The reason is that on the one hand, they believe in the gods, fear the divinity of the gods, and obey the guidance of the priests.
Pursuing peace after death. On the other hand, they lack meat, lack training, and do not have crossbows or bronze soldiers. In front of warriors who have trained for many years, the resistance of the militiamen is usually not worth mentioning and can be easily suppressed.
Naturally, they are not considered “human”.
Of course, the spear militia and longbow militia formed by the kingdom, which can defeat the warriors, are not included in this list.
"Well. This time I went north, I brought 8,000 Yuyans, 8,000 Flowers and Trees, and 4,000 Guards, a total of 20,000 people. These legions are not enough to control the two countries, but together with tens of thousands of militiamen
, besieging two snake cities is more than enough!"
Xiulote looked at the king and reported back seriously. The king should have already had information about the movements of the Southern Route Army.
"There are 30,000 warriors and militiamen left in the two southern states. They have to garrison various cities and guard against the Mixtecs. They cannot move lightly for the time being. However, the Shenshi City in the southeast has seen the power of the alliance's troops and sent out
The envoy surrendered. Most of the Mixtec people were timid. When the Black Wolf's legion returned north, they could send another legion to go north..."
"Ha! Both sides of the head rat betrayed the master... The Mixtecs and Zapotecs are both grass rats hiding in the mountains and forests!"
Hearing this, flames flashed in Avitt's eyes.
"When I return to the capital, stabilize the situation of the alliance, and save food for a few more years, the alliance will send out troops again, sweeping nine hundred miles south to the Oaxaca Valley! I will sacrifice in the pyramid temple of Mount Alban
Descendants of the gods in the clouds, establish the emblem of the Lord God!"
"Nine hundred miles south, expedition to the Oaxaca Valley?"
Shulot was shocked. He raised his head, looked at the king's cold expression, pursed his lips, and wisely did not speak.
The Oaxaca Valley is the home base of the Zapotec people, located in the southeast of the edge of the world. In history, King Avit led his warriors to conquer thousands of miles south, all the way to the edge of the Oaxaca Valley, and even touched the melon fields.
Mara's Mayan tribe. However, the brutality of that conquest and the huge losses of the rainforest march...
"Teacher, the eastern city-state of Totonak has undergone some changes during the Eastern Expedition. How should we deal with it?"
Hearing this question, Avitt pondered for a while and did not answer immediately. According to his thoughts, the Totonac people were also unbelievable. During the Eastern Expedition, they were inspired by the holy city of Cholula and gathered tens of thousands of people.
The warriors secretly threaten the North Route Army.
However, from the beginning to the end, these coastal city-states never had a direct conflict with the Mexica Alliance. After the alliance defeated the Tree Snake City, the neighboring Totonac tribe immediately withdrew their warriors and made contributions.
Etiquette. In other words, these affiliated city-states were quite respectful and smart, and did not directly offend the majesty of the alliance. The direct offenders were the two southern tribes that sent troops to rebel.
"Sooner or later, all the Totonac tribes will have to be cleaned up. But now, the first ones to be punished are the Mixtec and Zapotec tribes in the south, the so-called two tribes in the clouds!"
After a moment, Avitt's eyes sharpened and he made a decision.
"Send envoys to ask the Totonak states to convert to the Lord God, hand over the descendants of the gods, and take them to the capital city in the lake as hostages! As for other punishments... Shulot, it's up to you!"
"Do your will!"
Shulot lowered his head to the ground and saluted respectfully. His eyes flashed, and when he thought of the locations of Totonak's various ministries, an unforgettable thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
"The punishment of the ministries of the seaside...the outlet of the East..."
"Well. After I return to the capital, the western Wesochinco state will be handed over to Stanley, the commander of the Eagles. He also has a royal army and a city-state army. If necessary, he can come to support
For you."
King Avit lowered his eyes slightly and returned to the topic. Although Wesochinco State was captured by the alliance's partial forces, the remaining Tlaxcala tribes in the mountains have not yet been cleared.
Avit once intended to hand these two legions into the hands of Shulot. But after thinking for a long time, out of the king's instinct, he still separated the military power of Wesochinco State from Tlaxcala State.
Come. The Wesochinco State controls the western pass, which actually maintains the grain route to Tlaxcala State. It is a tacit guarantee of mutual understanding.
"The frog god Sochipili said that wise elders would never put the godly venison in front of young hounds. Young hounds do not need to be tested, and they may not be able to withstand the test..."
"Okay! I will cooperate with Captain Stanley to stabilize the situation in the two northern states!"
Xiu Luote nodded and thought in his mind. Perhaps, the business of trading Dingkou can also be done with the two legions to the west.
When the two kings talked about this, the major events after the Eastern Expedition had already been decided. The direction of the world and the life and death of all people could only be decided by the real superior person with a single word.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After discussing military and political matters, the atmosphere in the palace relaxed. Avitt made a gesture, and the guards added drinks, dried fruits, and some
Snacks and snacks. The two of them ate and drank a little casually, and talked about the daily life of the royal family.
"After the elder passed away, my uncle Kakamatsu inherited the position of chief minister. My uncle has always kept a low profile, rarely participating in major alliance affairs, and not interfering in important positions. He will be given more of the spoils of this Eastern Expedition...
.”
"Okay! My uncle presided over the wedding between Alyssa and I, and he is also my elder. I have a pair of turquoise armbands, which are smooth and clear, about the size of a human head. They are said to have the effect of calming the mind and refreshing the mind. I entrust you to give them to my uncle!
..."
With a smile on his face, Shulot mentioned his great-uncle Kakamazin, and he was always very grateful to him. Avitt nodded slightly, remembering the long-term enfeoffment plan, his expression flashed, and he spoke again.
"After this year, little Quitlahuak will be thirteen years old and can be engaged to noble girls from various states. During this Eastern Expedition, in order to avoid threats from the back, I detained the wives of Huastaq's southern states.
Chief...now that the Eastern Campaign is basically over, let the little Cuitlahuak marry a princess from the Huastec city-state to appease their hearts."
Little Quitlahuac was the younger brother of Montezuma II and the legitimate heir of the late king Asaya Catal. Historically, he was supported by the nobles of the capital to fight against the invading Spanish. He
Cortes drove out of the capital and pursued him for hundreds of miles. But more than two months later, he died of smallpox spread by the colonists.
Hearing this, Shulot's eyes moved slightly. He didn't know much about Cuitlavak, and the marriages of these royal families are now decided by the king. But when it comes to the Huastec people, he also has his own ideas, but he just wants to
Take advantage of the situation.
"Teacher, there are more than ten large Huastec tribes in the south. Who do you prefer in the marriage of Cuitlahuac?"
Hearing this question, Avitt pondered for a moment. Soon, a respectful and older face appeared in his mind.
"Then...the Silver Crow Tribe!"
