Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty-nine The controller of Maya, the civil engineering marshal who beat the dust!
"Marshal, Xiu Mole and Priest Tonavewe have repaired the giant eye of the god. The priests of the main god can perform great miraculous rituals at any time!"
"Oh?! Have you passed the test flight?"
"Test flight. The giant eye of the god just flew into the sky. It caused a collective sensation and worship among the Kanur civilians who were building the port and the recruited Golden Snake militia. At this moment, the preaching priests of the main god were preaching to them about the god of the main god.
Traces. As for the city-state and villages of Kanur in the east, many Mayan tribes should have seen them..."
Hearing this news, Bertard in the big tent perked up. He put down the pen in his hand, walked to the entrance of the tent, and looked at the construction site of Salt Village not far away and the sacrificial square on the seaside further away.
Faint noises floated from the wind, and there seemed to be the devout prayers of the priests, and the awe-inspiring repetitions of the Mayan tribesmen. Bertard listened for a while, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gave instructions with a smile.
"Very good! Then send envoys to inform the Mayapan royal family, the nobles of Kanur tribes, the leaders of Jinshe clan, and the barbarian chiefs of Puton tribes... Invite them all to come to Yancun at the end of next month to witness the death of the Lord God.
A miracle descends, an immortal sky festival!”
"Yes! Marshal!"
The confidants hurried away, and the messengers who were good at running were about to go on their way. Bertard clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the construction site of Salt Village, the embryonic earth city and the reservoir for a long time, and then turned back to his account.
In the simple marshal's tent, there are no Mayan-style gorgeous gems or bright feathers. There are only a few bows, axes, spears and armors hanging, a large desk, a moisture-proof book box, and
There is a simple straw bed. And a large Mayan leather map is unfolded on the table, with many markings densely written on it.
"The coast of Yucatan on the west is the territory of the Kanu'ul clan. On the western Maya coast, there is the salt village in the north that is completely controlled by the kingdom, and the city of Kanu in the south where the kingdom's army is stationed."
"These two coastal strongholds, plus the Kingdom's Temple of War temple fortress stationed in the inland capital of the Kanur clan outside Kapok City, the inland capital of the Kanur clan, are the Kingdom's three footholds in the entire western lowland Maya..."
"And the dozens of miles around these three strongholds will also be the key operations of the kingdom and serve as the core foundation..."
Bertard stretched out his finger, clicked three points on the abstract but accurate map of Yucatán, and drew a circle.
According to the common calendar between the Aztecs and the Mayans, it is now the second flower month of the Year of the Rabbit (June 1494). It has been enough time since the kingdom raised the banner of restoring the Mayapan royal family and invaded the Mayan land.
More than two years have passed. And it has also been a year and a half since Bertard initiated the Kapok City tribal meeting in the name of Mayapan chief Tiakim.
In the past year and a half, Bertard, as Marshal of the East China Sea, did not command any legion battles. On the contrary, he handed over the front-line combat tasks, along with the main forces of the two legions, to the Canine Legion.
Hei Lang, the commander of the army, and Tupa, the deputy commander of the seaside army.
Among them, the "Khorne" Black Wolf was responsible for the coastal advance. It took two years to march all the way from the west coast of Yucatan, to the north coast, and then to the east coast. He first killed the tail feathers of the Xiu vassal, the deer
The Zerg Clan and the garrison Qijin Chiefdom then cooperated with Prince Yanhu of Yan Island to raid and destroy the Yixi Clan. They couped the Yandao Clan and ate half of the Ekabu Chiefdom.
At this point, after destroying three Mayan clans and conquering six city-states, the sea route to Cuba has been completely opened! The kingdom's legions finally have a steady supply of energy and are transporting the kingdom's headquarters to Cuba on a large scale!
The Black Wolf Legion has recruited surrenders all the way, coercing Maya to surrender. Recently, it has been supplemented by the transportation of prairie dog descendants. The number of troops has increased, and there are almost 20,000 people. Of course, the northern coast occupied by the Black Wolf Legion is also extremely long.
, there are eight or nine coastal strongholds where troops are divided and garrisoned. Not only has the mobile field force not increased, but only half of the core legion of 8,000 people is still mobile.
As for the "lucky" Tupa, he was promoted from the Guards Battalion Commander to the Deputy Commander of the Coastal Legion by Hulot, which can be said to have broken the promotion ceiling. Later, Bertard handed him half of the 4,000-strong Coastal Legion.
, plus two thousand Puton barbarians, a total of six thousand soldiers were stationed in the area of Kanur Kapok City.
Tupa has two military tasks. The first and most important one is to protect the royal flag of the Mayapan royal family, including the last descendants of Cocom. This is the key legal principle for the kingdom to conduct Mayan wars, and it is also the key to dividing the Maya.
More than a dozen clan emirates, receive supplies from local tribes and lead the way with banners!
As for the second task, it is to lead the coastal legions and barbarians to continue to engage in small-scale battles with the Xiwu clan together with the Kanur clan. On the surface, this is the main force to contain the Xiwu clan and prevent them from having any problems.
The remaining force was used to harass the northern coast. Secretly, this was also a supervision of the Kanur clan, forcing them to actually send out soldiers to fight on the front line with Xiwu.
The fragmented terrain of the jungle greatly limits the investment of troops. If a force of more than a thousand people goes deep into the Mayan jungle for an expedition, the logistics will be almost catastrophic. Therefore, the jungle fighting between the "Mayapan side" and the "Xiu side" has always been
Hundreds to thousands of people.
Both sides continued to shed the blood of their warriors in the dense and dark forest, as if they were offering sacrifices to please their respective gods. Eighty percent of the casualties were from the Maya tribe themselves, and only 20% were from the coastal tribes.
Blood…
"Witness the Lord God! Black Wolf and Tupa are both brave generals who can fight and win battles! Just leave the specific battles to them! And my mission is to sit here firmly and control the salt.
At the rear of the village, maintain all logistical supplies and maintain clan communication..."
"Meet with the clan chiefs of each tribe, and be a speaker who can represent the kingdom's promises, so as not to increase the number of enemies of the kingdom, but to increase the number of friends... Then lead the militiamen recruited from each tribe, and be a foreman for building the port city.
Let the kingdom establish a true foundation and spread the faith of the Lord God!…”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bertard touched his chin and drew a circle of three strongholds, his idea was very clear. Hulot once said to him, everything about war,
They all serve political purposes. You must always reflect on every choice you make to avoid wars for the sake of war. It is obvious that Bertard has listened to these teachings, and even with the blessing of experience, he understands them better than Xiulote.
Be profound!
The political purpose of the kingdom in the Maya has never really been to help Mayapan regain its kingdom, but to open up the coastal route to Cuba. Then, it will establish the kingdom and even the Mexica Alliance to influence the Mayan jungle tribes and establish a real
Directly governed and restrained rule comes!
It was with this idea in mind that after the clan meeting in Kapok City, Bertard did not take the risk of leading an army, and went deep into the jungle, invaded the Xiwu territory, and fought a decisive battle with the Xiwu clan. In fact, he left behind a picture
After Pa's 6,000 men, he took the main force of the kingdom's army, the 4,000 Royal Guards and the remaining 4,000 seaside legions, and took a step back, stationed between the two coastal strongholds of Yancun and Kanu City.
As soon as the main force of the kingdom shrank to the west coast, the confrontation between "Mayapan" and "Xiu" changed from short-term to long-term. And the Kanur clan in the middle was immediately in trouble. They originally planned to "follow the deer's tail"
"Behind", provide logistics and auxiliary troops, and watch the battle between the Kingdom and Xiwu's main force!
But now, the kingdom wrapped around the Kanur clan and declared war on the Xiwu side, but did not fight decisively. Instead, the kingdom's army retreated to the west coast, pushing the Kanur clan in the front, turning it into a "deer head"
At this time, the Kanur clan's "one muscle became two-headed" and was caught in the middle by the two armies. It was really miserable!
Regardless of whether the Kanur clan sincerely supported the Mayapan royal family, or whether they pretended to defect to the Mayapan royal family, or whether they had secretly had any thoughts, whether they had any contact with the Xiwu clan... At the moment, they are being pressed against the vital waist by the kingdom's army, and
With troops stationed in the heart of Kapok City, they had no choice but to "pioneer for the king" obediently.
In the past two years, the Kanur clan has a lot to consider, but they have no choice. Bertard has many choices, but he doesn't need to consider them. His plan is very simple and unpretentious, which is to "build the city" step by step.
, build a city in Maya for the kingdom, and build cities at three strongholds at the same time!
Thousands of tribesmen were recruited to build a solid earth city at the port of Yancun, build a large reservoir, cultivate cassava and corn fields for stable irrigation, and then build a small village surrounding it.
Marry the Mayan nobles of Kanu City, convert them, and then completely control Kanu City and the surrounding villages, strengthening it from an earth city to a fortress of the main god.
Finally, outside Kapok City, the original "God of War Temple" was expanded on a large scale and a circle of stockades for garrisoning troops was established. In name, this was to build a "Pyramid Temple of the Lord God", but in fact it was to build an unbreakable "Fortress of the Lord God".
!
In this way, relying on the legion garrison, they have firmly taken root on the west coast of the Maya, and missionary work, immigration and intermarriage are also advancing steadily. The military strongholds of these three kingdoms are also the belief centers for the priests of the main god to preach. There is a steady stream of priests of the main god.
, coming from the Kingdom and Alliance, spreading the dazzling brilliance of the Lord God of the Plateau among the tribes of the Kanur clan!
In order to truly let the belief in the main god break the traditional influence of the old Mayan gods and truly penetrate into the hearts of the local Mayan tribes... Bertard also personally wrote a long letter to Xiulote, solemnly requesting the "Eye of the Gods" hot air balloon
, the arrival of this missionary artifact!
"If you don't destroy Maya's belief in the old gods, no matter how many tribes you conquer, you still won't be able to truly control the Mayan tribes! Black Wolf's migration and intermarriage of barbarians is a feasible way, but it's just too rough and cruel, and it can only
It can be used in several strongholds along the coast..."
"To assimilate hundreds of thousands or millions of Mayan tribes, assimilate these ant people who believe in gods and obey priests... the only way is to use a more powerful and irresistible 'divine' to crush the old
Worship, the sky that envelopes their hearts!”
"This missionary artifact, the Eye of the God, can bring more stable rule than the force of a legion! And its 'divine' effect that can penetrate deeply into people's hearts can replace the old Mayan gods.
No amount of force can do it!…”
"Blessed by the Lord God! Now, after more than half a year of transportation, this artifact, which is only a few pieces in the kingdom, has finally arrived in Maya!... I can't wait to see it rise into the sky and see the various tribes of Maya.
, especially the tribesmen at the bottom, seem to be shocked and conquered by it!…”
At this moment, Bertard stretched out his finger calmly and confidently, and touched the map of the coastal salt village! The spiritual seed of the Lord God's faith will be planted from this newly built kingdom stronghold, and will be planted among the surrounding 20,000 Mayans.
In the hearts of the tribal people!
"My responsibility is never based on the gains and losses of one city or one place, but on the support of the Mayan people's hearts! I will build reservoirs and walled cities, establish a new order from the tribe's production to life, and then
to the core of faith.”
"I will use the two axes of bronze and soul to chop down the forest sea of Maya's old gods, plant the seeds of the main god, and grow a tall kapok tree. And I will take good care of it, burn down wasteland bit by bit, and plant seeds for it.
Water opened up the Yucatan Peninsula until its roots extended to the entire Maya!…”
"This is my duty, Marshal of the East China Sea, to build a fortress of faith and gradually control the Maya! And only by establishing the foundation of the Lord God in the land of Maya can I long-term support the Lord God's outpost fortress and resist the evil invasion of the hot land of Cuba! What a long battle between gods.
