Chapter 953: Let go of the beast's rope, the monkey's request for loyalty
"God bless you! Etalik, my loyal family general...you don't need to worry about the situation of the alliance. Continue to follow the original plan and open up the southeast sea route! The first goal right now is to pacify the Fengyuan City of the Trapanics.
Occupy the 600-mile coastline from Haenyeo Castle to Fengyuan Castle, and force the Bee Castle in the mountains to surrender..."
Shulot was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, looking at the spread out map of the South while writing a reply to the veteran Etalik.
"The Bee City of the Trapanic people is located in the mountains south of the Tarsus River. The terrain is very dangerous and the roads are not clear... But according to the intelligence of the scouts, from the middle reaches of the Tulsas River, through Bee City to Fengyuan
The city has a waterway that flows into the sea, which can be used as a thoroughfare for marching... This is also the waterway used by Trapanic merchants to trade, connecting the river and the sea..."
"There are about two to three hundred thousand people in the Trapanic tribes. In order to conquer them...Etalik, my loyal family general, I allow you to supply food from the royal capital and the smelting foundry of Black Rock Mountain according to the food supply of Zicao County.
Replenish equipment and expand the Purple Grass Legion as much as possible! Whether they are Tlaxcala warriors, Tecos warriors, or even Trapanic warriors... you can recruit them into the legion to fight for the kingdom!"
After writing this, Shulot stopped writing, pondered for a while, and clearly wrote out the next arrangements.
"After the Eastern Expedition is completely over, I will return to the lake capital to participate in the victory ceremony... According to the wishes of God King Avit, I should stay in the lake capital for two years, or even longer... Therefore, I grant
You have full power to conquer the south, you have to let your hands and feet go! The better you fight, the more legions you expand, the happier I will be in the capital city in the lake... and the safer..."
Shulot picked up the letter, looked at the sun, and read it carefully. Then, he copied it twice with his own hands, stamped each letter with a jade seal, and handed it to the captain of the guard with a solemn expression.
"Witnessed by the Lord God! This royal order is made in triplicate, and is delivered urgently by the personal guards! One copy is given to the chief minister of the royal capital, the chief priest of the kingdom, Jatiri, to coordinate the food distribution and priest transfer in each county. One copy is handed over
Give it to Talea, the director of the Divine Enlightenment Institute, to provide military supplies for various counties. The last part was given to the veteran Etalik and told him..."
Shulot paused for a moment, his eyes became sharp, and then he spoke in a deep voice.
"From the day Wang Ling arrived, he was not only the county magistrate of Zicao County, but also the Kingdom's Zicao Jiedushi! That is, the Zicao chief who controls all military affairs and makes independent decisions on conquests!..."
"ah!"
Hearing this, the guard captain Eckart's expression suddenly changed. He widened his eyes and looked at Hulot, but he only saw that unquestionable and firm expression.
"Master of the house, witness the Lord God! ... Once you have given such power... it may not be so easy to take it back..."
“…”
Hearing this, Shulot remained silent. The kingdom's political system was originally born out of loose tribal alliances, retaining great local autonomy. The relationship between the kingdom's central government and local counties is more like a big grassland.
Khan and the chiefs of various tribes, or the early system of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, rather than the centralized power formed after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Shulot is also very clear about his position. Although he has the ambition of the first emperor, he has a series of vassal tribes that are enfeoffed and controlled on the political basis of the alliance of city-states and tribes in Central America... He is getting closer and closer.
The characters are actually Maodun Chanyu of the Huns, Genghis Khan of Mongolia, Abaoji, the Emperor of Khitan...
"Eckart, after we go to the capital city in the lake, my royal order may not be able to pass smoothly. Before that, I have to loosen all the ropes of the beasts under my command, so that they can find their prey on their own.
Strengthen yourself!…”
"As for the veteran Etalik, he is old...and he has never had any ambitions. In fact, he is the one I feel most at ease with!"
Shulot smiled and shook his head, and the faces of several legion commanders quickly flashed through his mind.
"Teacher Orosh, warrior chief Bertad, black wolf Toltec, monkey Kuruka, miner Ezpan, wolf-headed Hervé, and bodyguard Pap...well, monkey, monkey..."
Thinking of the monkey Kuruka, the matter of God King Avit sending the war priests and elders to canonize the monkey once again came to his mind. Regarding this matter, he sent an envoy to the alliance to once again express his loyalty. As for the people within the kingdom,
, he did not issue any severe royal orders, but promoted Sage Jatiri to the position of chief priest of the kingdom, with full responsibility for the kingdom's priests, above the two chief priests.
"Ekart, I haven't replied to the recent letter from Monkey Kuruka...give it to me! I have decided to respond to his request and give him a formal royal order, also in triplicate!..."
"...Yes! I obey you, Master!..."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, nodded solemnly and took out a carefully collected letter. The king had already read the contents of the letter, but it was only today that he made up his mind.
"….King, you saved my life, promoted me from a humble position, and gave me a great responsibility... My loyalty to you will never change! Even if I am a Mexica, even if I face a Mexica
The king of…”
"But I am often afraid, not for my own loyalty, but for the loyalty of my legion... You know, my spear legion is composed of warriors from Mexica... The God King of Mexica is in their hearts
There will always be deep imprints of the impact. Just like a stone with gaps will flow into water... I think this is also the reason why the God King chose to canonize me. I know the possible choices in the future and can guarantee my loyalty, but
Can’t vouch for the entire legion…”
"This western expedition to Lake Chapala is going very smoothly! Lake Chapala is like a ripe fruit. I, a greedy monkey, picked it off and presented it to you... At the end of February, it is also
Just when I am writing this letter... the fortified ancient city of Chapala by the lake, the central city-state of the entire lake area, and the royal capital of Prince Feather, has just been destroyed by the thunder of mortars, and the east wall has just been destroyed!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "At this moment, tens of thousands of kingdom warriors have entered the city! They will defeat the last stubborn feather warriors and blood sacrifice all the old nobles in the city...especially the Long Snake Legion
The Tlaxcala warriors and the Prepecha warriors of the Sky family are the most brave and fearless, the most willing to risk their lives!... In front of my eyes, the entire ancient city-state lit up with flames, and the blue-black city walls were covered with darkness.
Red bloodstains... And the last Tarasco nobles and the three priests of the gods are all lighting the Stone of the Dead on the round pyramid of Acata, heading towards the burning death!..."
"God bless you! I didn't go to see the siege in the city. It was the commander of the Hydra Legion, Hervé, who was in charge. After the autumn harvest, during the six-month campaign, there was a three-pronged attack by the Lance Legion, Hydra Legion, and Guamar tribes...
As of today, the 200,000 Prepecha tribesmen in the entire Chapala Lake area have surrendered or will soon surrender at your feet! The tribes in this lake area are also dealt with according to your guidance, and most of them have established villages or flag corps.
, Xiaoban entrusted slaves and enfeoffed people..."
"Since most of the people here are from the Prepecha tribe, I gave priority to enfeoffing a group of senior warriors from Prepecha, and at the same time dispatched a group of chief priests from Prepecha. When you first conquered Tarasco,
, the released captives who converted to surrender have already spread the seeds of the Lord God's faith... The Lord God bless you! After military merits are awarded to farmland and slaves, the civilian camp flag team is established, and the Lord God's faith is spread, the situation in the entire lake area should be very good.
I’ll settle down soon!…”
"Witness the Lord God! Prince Feather, who is good at running, once again took 20,000 to 30,000 tribal warriors and men and fled westward to the Ameka Valley three hundred miles away. He took shelter with his father-in-law, a descendant of the city-state of Ameka.
Under the wings of the city lord, Chief Yingshan Kui Ying... I asked Chief Yingshan for it, but the other party stubbornly and arrogantly refused! And the next step was to continue the conquest, pacify the Ameka Valley in the west, and even conquer more
The Northern Tekos tribes in the west fought all the way to Trois-Rivières on the coast..."
Monkey's letter is very long and very detailed, running to dozens of pages! He gave a complete account of the Chapala Western Expedition in the past six months, including every general's rewards and considerations.
The disposal and management of a city-state... I don’t know how long Monkey took to write it, but his seriousness and loyalty can be felt in every page.
Shulot had read it once, and after reading it for the second time, he was still touched in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. It wasn't until he read the last page that he looked solemn and thoughtful again, just like he did the first time.
It’s the same the second time I read it.
"Your Majesty! The Chapala Lake area has been pacified, but the subsequent settlement and disposal are actually quite complicated. To the north are the Guamar tribes in the wilderness, to the west are the unruly Northern Tekos tribes, and the Feathered Princes are still going on.
Fleeing west. And the entire lake area is populated by the newly surrendered Prepecha tribe, the Wasteland tribe, and the Tekos tribe, especially the lack of backbone and intermarriage Mexica warriors..."
"I have asked you once about the situation in Hekou County and the canonization of the God King. You have not punished me, but your monkey has been in fear... I have been thinking about it, thinking about the situation in Hekou County and the Chapala Lake area.
, thinking about the Mexica's Lance Corps and the Tlaxcala's Long Snake Corps, I gradually came up with an ingenious idea like a 'spirit monkey'!..."
"Honored Lord God, witness my loyalty! Your Majesty, I boldly make a request to you!..."
