Outside Tenochtit, the Aztecs were using gold and silver to build a pyramid, which was a pyramid to atone for their sins from the gods.
The devout Aztecs took out almost all their gold and silver and prepared to build a large gold tower. To this end, they also began to mobilize the country to search for gold and silver, with enough people to mine gold, silver, and even gold.
Yu asked for gold and silver from surrounding castles, tribes and other places.
The gods did not need them to sacrifice living people. The gods only needed gold and silver, so the Aztec Kingdom began to change. It no longer went on foreign conquests, but instead concentrated on mining and smelting gold.
The devout Aztecs were silently atonement for their crimes. Next to this shining silver pyramid, a group of Ming Dynasty men sat on the master's chairs, served by a group of young girls, tasting delicious food and watching.
The mountains of gold and silver are getting higher and higher, and the whole person feels extremely comfortable.
According to the will of God, the Ming people are the descendants and messengers of the Sun God and Quetzalcoatl. They are inherently more noble than the Aztecs, so the Aztecs must respect the Ming people as much as gods and obey the Ming people.
's will.
At the same time, the Aztecs and Ming people have the same ancestors and beliefs. The Aztecs must learn from the Ming people and master their language and writing, because this is the language and writing for communicating with gods. Only in this way can they
As soon as possible, you will be as noble as the people of Ming Dynasty.
Under such propaganda, the Aztecs changed their hostility towards the Ming people and became very friendly towards the Ming people. They even forgot about the severe beating they had just received.
Not only did they build pyramids made of gold and silver here, but they even started to build colonial strongholds for the Ming Dynasty on the west coast and east coast according to the instructions of the Ming Dynasty people.
The east coast of Golden Continent is the famous Gulf of Mexico in later generations. Further back from the Gulf of Mexico is the famous Caribbean Sea.
Well, it was a place where pirates were rampant in later generations.
The oxen, monkeys, and tigers are riding horses and walking leisurely on the coastline. From time to time, they use telescopes to look around. The scenery here is very beautiful.
The long coastline stretches to the end of the field of vision, the blue sky, the vast ocean, and the extremely clean beaches all form an extremely beautiful scenery.
"It's so beautiful~"
Tian Erniu couldn't help but sigh.
This is why he likes sailing in the sea more and more, going to various parts of the world, seeing different civilizations and seeing different scenery.
The world is big and there are so many beautiful places.
"It is indeed beautiful, but it lacks the atmosphere of people and the smell of fireworks."
The monkey nodded, thought for a while and said.
"Haha, this will be my Ming Dynasty's territory from now on, and a steady stream of people will immigrate here."
When Dahu heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
"This is the Atlantic Ocean. This Golden Continent is wide from north to south, but the area in the middle is very narrow. It would be great if a canal could be opened in the narrowest place in the future, so that travel would be much more convenient."
"Although we have arrived at the east coast of the Golden Continent, it is not easy to explore more areas without a boat. If we want to drive the ship here, we have to go around the Southern Golden Continent. There is no way
It can’t be done in a few months.”
Tian Erniu opened a map, looked at it carefully and said.
"Take your time, we can also build our own ships. Among the people who came to Huangjinzhou this time, there were quite a few who knew how to build ships. Some of them were from Tianjin Shipyard, and they were brought here to repair the ships. Now
Just in time to use it.”
The monkey thought for a while and said.
"Well, once the first stronghold on the east coast is built, we will start building a shipyard here and build ships. They don't need to be big, they just need to be able to walk offshore. Then we will explore the entire east coast."
"I heard from the Aztecs, so in the past few years, there have been some white people with blond hair, blue eyes, and high noses moving around the east coast. I guess they may be Europeans."
Tian Erniu nodded, and his face became serious when he said this.
After conquering the Aztecs, I also learned a lot from the Aztecs, including the white people who came up from the east coast.
As early as ten years ago, white people arrived on the east coast. There were few at first, but in recent years they have become more active, and they can be seen in various places from time to time.
"European?"
When the monkey and tiger heard this, they were slightly surprised.
"This is impossible, Europe and Golden Continent are separated by the Atlantic Ocean..."
Dahu thought for a while and said.
"Our Ming Dynasty and Golden Continent are separated by the Pacific Ocean. Nothing is impossible, and there is no need for the Aztecs to lie to us."
"And we can also contact some city-states and tribes on the east coast. If we ask them, we will know whether the Aztecs have deceived us."
Tian Erniu looked at the blue water and thought for a while and asked.
"Well, this matter is very important. If they are really Europeans and they arrive on the east coast earlier than us, this means that we will inevitably have conflicts with them in the future. We'd better get ready as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the monkey nodded and said.
"Let's go back and send people to find out more about the city-states and tribes on the east coast."
Tian Erniu put away the map and rode towards the stronghold on the east coast.
Penglai City!
This is the stronghold named by Tian Erniu on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is also the Ming Dynasty's first stronghold on the east coast of Golden Continent. It is currently under continuous construction.
Thousands of Aztecs were building houses and docks under the command of the Ming people. At the same time, a Ming dragon flag was erected high and fluttering in the wind.
Riding a horse around Penglai City.
"Monkey, send people to build a fort with cement here at a high place. When the time comes, a dozen Miyun cannons will be enough to radiate the entire coastline. Even if there is an attack, you will not be afraid."
"Also, send people around the South Golden Continent and bring dozens of ships to the east coast. Without ships, we will always be in a passive position. With ships, we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Even if we encounter European
Don’t be afraid of people either.”
"It's best to find out where these European strongholds are. I guess it's on the big islands around them. After figuring this out."
"If these Europeans are polite, it's fine. If they are disrespectful to our Ming Dynasty, they will directly destroy all their strongholds."
Tian Erniu issued several orders one after another.
Unexpectedly, the Europeans arrived at Golden Continent earlier than themselves. From the surrounding tribes of descendants of the Yin Shang, we learned that these Europeans had arrived at Golden Continent as early as ten years ago, in the fourth year of Hongzhi.
This side of the east coast of Asia.
Within ten years, this means that these Europeans have established a mature stronghold on the east coast, and a large number of people should also have migrated here.
In the Ming Dynasty, counting from the first time Du Mingen arrived at the Golden Continent, it has only been three years since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and it has only organized two fleets to the Golden Continent.
There are now 100,000 people from the Ming Dynasty here in Golden Continent. On the west coast, more than ten strongholds of various sizes have been established. And this year, more people will come to Golden Continent.
You can imagine how many strongholds these Europeans have built in ten years and how many people have arrived here. I am afraid that their power on the east coast will be very huge.
As Tian Erniu's order was conveyed, people from Tianjin Ocean Trading Company began to get busy on the east coast of Huanghuangzhou.
Someone started riding on horseback to visit various city-states and tribes descended from the Yin Shang on the east coast. While getting to know the situation here, they also inquired about the affairs of the Europeans.
At the same time, on the Penglai City side, for safety reasons, Tian Erniu also began to mobilize more cannons and manpower from the west coast to speed up the construction of Penglai City, and also began to explore the east coast of the Golden Continent.
As he learned more and more about the east coast and came into contact with more and more city-states and tribes, Tian Erniu finally found out more about it.
On the east coast, there is indeed a group of people with blue eyes, high noses, white skin, and holding crosses. They travel by boat looking for gold and silver, just like bandits. Many city-states and tribes have come into contact with them. For these white people
Very disgusted.
Because in addition to wanting gold, silver, gems, spices, etc., these white people also preached Catholicism to the descendants of the Yin Shang and asked everyone to convert to their Catholicism.
This made the descendants of the Yin Shang who believed in the Sun God and Quetzalcoatl very angry, but they had nothing to do with these white people.
Because these white people's ships were big, they also had muskets and cannons, and they wore armor, these tribes and city-states descended from the Yin Shang could not defeat these white people at all.
Even if they can survive, these white people will leave by boat and come back again soon.
“There are really Europeans here on the east coast of Golden Continent!”
Tian Erniu looked solemn and looked at the map of the east coast of Golden Continent carefully.
"Dang~dang~"
At this moment, the bells of Penglai City rang loudly.
"There is a boat, there is a boat~"
"There are ships on the sea~"
The person in charge of the lookout shouted anxiously.
Tian Erniu, Monkey, Dahu and others had just come out. After hearing this, they immediately picked up their binoculars and looked at the sea. They saw two ships on the sea heading towards Penglai City. The white boats were white.
The sails were embroidered with crosses.
"Really European?"
Tian Erniu took a telescope and carefully looked at the people on the boat. He saw the people on the boat clearly, and he couldn't help shouting.
