"God has arrived! He is watching in the red sky, gazing at the thousands of people on the earth! ... Offer your piety, hair and blood, drink the blood wine of conversion, carve the emblem on your forehead, and dedicate your soul to the Lord God!
…”
The blue holy fire was lit outside Shamu City, and green smoke burning hair floated in the valley. A touch of blood filled the air, and more than 40,000 Tekos tribesmen converted one after another, swearing a soul-blood oath of faith in the main god. Those who were unwilling to convert
The tribesmen were directly sacrificed by their fellow tribesmen. The descendants of Tekos and the nobles who originally ruled the city-state and were aloof from above were all led to the altar one by one under the gaze of countless people and dedicated to the supreme god.
At this moment, blue fire, green smoke, red blood, and yellow corpses together constitute the colors of mystery, fear and death. The scorching temperature, smoky breath, ear-splitting scriptures, and painful foreheads are like sacrificial rituals.
It is an indelible mark that all those who take refuge will remember for the rest of their lives.
"You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli! Those who disobey Him will be tortured forever after death, and their souls will be solidified into stone in the endless abyss. They will be burned by fire and axes day and night, hungry and thirsty! Those who obey Him, their souls can
Ascend to the red divine kingdom, resurrect after death, no need to worry about hunger and cold, and enjoy peace and beauty forever!…”
The priests of the kingdom recited scriptures to pray to the gods, and the apprentices from the Tekos tribe repeated it loudly. The mysterious fear that gripped people's hearts, along with the seeds of their initial faith, penetrated deeply into every Tekos who trembled on the ground and converted to the main god.
In the hearts of the tribe.
Yes, the priests of the kingdom know this well! The cornerstone of all devout beliefs is fear from the heart. And with the addition of fear, every favor bestowed by the Lord God in the future will be magnified to the maximum. If it were not for the original
The darkness that threatens despair will not be followed by the light of pious hope. The essence of the conversion ceremony is to reshape people's hearts and plant the seeds of faith. Then use daily prayer rituals and gradually accumulate time to strengthen faith, just like volcanic ash
The cement will become stronger as time passes...
"It's a pity... the eyes of the gods in Dahu County are still in Hushi City, and they have no time to participate in this great conversion. However, when the army goes south, they will take away most of the tribesmen and go to Hushi City to farm. Once there,
We can hold another Spring Plowing Festival, involving more than 100,000 tribesmen! Well, the Spring Plowing Festival does not require divine captives, only three animals: wolf, deer, and fish!…”
The chief priest of the Great Lakes, Yoroki, stood on the altar, presiding over the conversion of the Great Conversion, while thinking about the subsequent ceremonies. He was originally a village priest on the shores of Lake Texcoco, and was born as a civilian in Mexico.
When Te went to the capital in the middle of the lake to get married, he was spotted by His Highness who was inspecting the village, and then he was on the fast track to promotion.
At that time, His Highness said to him, "Being empathetic to believers is the most precious quality of a priest. As long as you stick to your heart, you will be rewarded by the Lord God!" And he carefully pondered the profound meaning of this "divine revelation", whether it was to guide believers.
Believe it or teach farmers to farm, they have become the best among the hundreds of villages on Lake Texcoco!
Later, under the leadership of the high priest, a group of Mexica priests went west to the kingdom. He was also selected among them and promoted to the second-level priest. In the few years after coming to the kingdom, he spread the faith in Hekou County and achieved remarkable results.
With this, he finally broke through the most difficult first-level ceiling for civilian priests and became the third-level chief priest.
Later, Yoroki, as an outstanding priest in Hekou County, came west with the Monkey Kuruka's legion to preside over missionary affairs around the Chapala Lake. At present, although he is a third-level priest, in just two years, he will
The faith in Dahu County has stabilized, and the priest system has penetrated into the villages and flag corps... He was promoted to the fourth level of chief priest and took charge of the religious affairs of a county. It was just a matter of course!
Behind Yoroki's rapid promotion, there is also a compromise game between the Mexica missionary priests and the Prepecha missionary priests within the Kingdom of the Lake. The number of Mexica priests is relatively small, but they are in a higher position.
And they are concentrated in the cities of Gyeonggi, and the two northern counties of Hekou and Dahu. The Prepecha priests are growing day by day, and their number is getting larger and larger. They usually occupy the towns of Gyeonggi, the two southern counties of Apa Zicao, and the colonial strongholds on the northern coast.
.
As for the priests in Qingqiu County, they are in a special situation and have very mixed backgrounds. Most of them are war priests who can fight in the legion. There are even many wilderness priests who have been recruited for further training. They are considered to be brave and unique.
"Witness the Lord God! Although this North Tecos city-state is very ordinary, the valleys where the city-state is located are truly fertile soil! If this place can be reclaimed, it will be comparable to the Great Lakes District of Chapala
…”
Chief Priest Yoroki stood on the altar, looking past the drifting green smoke and the prostrate and kowtowing tribesmen to the long and narrow mountains in the northeast. This group of valleys extends from Shamu City to dozens of miles around, covering an area of large
It's not a little rainy, and the rainfall is extremely abundant.
The mountains in the northeast extend diagonally to the southeast, stretching for thousands of miles. They are the natural dividing line between the long coastal valley and the Sacascarat Wilderness. The moist sea breeze blowing from the southwest Pacific in summer is blocked by these mountains and turns into
The rainwater in the mountains has also formed many rivers from east to west, irrigating the narrow strip between the mountains and the sea. It is precisely because the rainfall is intercepted by the mountains that the wasteland further east becomes dry and barren, making it difficult to develop.
Farming.
The lifeblood of agriculture in the classical era was water. The chief priest, Yoloki, came from a lower level and was also a good farmer. He could see at a glance the potential of this valley for reclamation. However, success and failure are also water.
The reason why this valley supports 40,000 to 50,000 Northern Tekos tribesmen is because there is too much water...
"The Shahe River beside Shamu City runs from east to west and is left from the mountains! Such a river with its own undulations is most suitable for building artesian canals, without the need for manpower to lift water... This entire valley can be opened
The best water can irrigate the fertile fields! And once the entire valley is cultivated, let alone forty or fifty thousand people, it is possible to double it and support ten or two hundred thousand people!..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Unfortunately, it is spring now, and the river here is so fast. Once the summer rainy season arrives, floods and overflows will inevitably occur! Beite
The Kos people did not farm by the river, but two miles apart. They must be afraid of floods... and the Shahe River is only a tributary of the Dasha River in the upper reaches of the northeast. The water in the Dasha River is even more turbulent, rushing out directly at the mouth of the sea a hundred miles to the north.
A large flood plain!... If you want to reclaim the Shamu City Valley, you must build a large reservoir, and the Dasha River Plain in the north must also be reclaimed... And if you can reclaim the entire flooded Dasha River Plain with a radius of two to three hundred miles
If it comes out, it may be enough to feed a million people!"
In the upper reaches of the east, the "Grand Sand River" in the Tecos population is the "Grande de Santiago" with a huge amount of water. The "Sha River" in the Shamu Valley is later known as the Molina River.
, is a tributary of the Greater Santiago River. As for the main trunk of the river that flows into the sea, it is still a hundred miles north of Shamu City, creating a large floodplain with rich water and grass, and it is also an undeveloped tribal hunting land...
This Great Sand River Basin stretches from the Shamu City area to the Tolpan Department in the north. It is three hundred miles from north to south. Its agricultural potential is no less than that of the Apa Plain. It is a famous granary in Mexico in later generations! This basin stores water.
There are a lot of them, very suitable for growing rice, and the latitude is close to the Pearl River Delta. In this era, the reason why it has not been developed is that water conservancy and water control and canine prevention require too much manpower and materials, far beyond the local characteristics.
The capabilities of the city-state of Kos. The agricultural level and productivity of the tribes of North Tekos are very limited, and they have remained in a state of internal strife for a long time. This rich fertile land, the second Apa Plain, has remained vacant until now...
