Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 434 Capturing the thief and capturing the king, collision of civilizations

According to historical rumors of later generations, the Inca Empire possessed massive amounts of gold.

However, this massive amount of gold was eventually lost in the dust of history. Even though explorers searched hard, they still found nothing, so that later everyone began to question the credibility of this rumor.

If a later historian were here, he would definitely exclaim that the rumors of gold in the Inca Empire were actually true. This empire with rich gold resources really hoarded a massive amount of gold.

Since it was noon and the valley was bathed in sunlight, the golden potatoes piled randomly on the ground shone brightly.

Gold is the easiest to arouse human desires. Especially gold is more precious than silver in the Ming Dynasty. It is an absolute hard currency. Not to mention that the two of them had never seen such a scene, not even His Majesty the Emperor had seen such a grand scene.

But... there seems to be a misunderstanding on this matter.

What they needed was not gold, but the Inca's best potato seeds.

After all, Liu Zhang and Su Can knew that they were in a foreign country, and also in the enemy's hinterland, so they quickly calmed down, but looked at each other in confusion.

The two of them were ordered to come to this new continent this time not to search for wealth, and their emperor had never been keen on the gold and silver here.

Especially now that ordinary people can wear jewelry when they see the Inca emperor, the gold hoarding in front of them seems like it is free, and they understand the wisdom of the emperor.

To an individual, gold is naturally more valuable.

It's just that there are still many ordinary people in China who are hungry. If this highly adaptable treasure can be brought back, then the Ming Dynasty can keep more ordinary people fed.

Compared with "five-flowered horses, thousands of gold furs, and the children will be exchanged for fine wines", "the great shelter will make all the poor people in the world happy" is even more noble, not to mention that they went through all kinds of hardships to bring back the treasure seeds.

"These are the golden potatoes that our Inca emperor has collected and cast from gold over the years. I can give them all to you, but you have to let me go!" In fact, the Inca king was not as keen on collecting golden potatoes as his predecessors. But he opened the chip channel directly.

This……

Liu Zhang and Su Can were originally ready to correct this beautiful misunderstanding, but when they heard the transaction conditions suddenly thrown out by the Inca King, their hearts beat violently.

The gold in this valley must have been tens of millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels, but in the end, the Inca king actually gave it in exchange for his own life.

But I don’t know whether I should say that gold is too worthless, or that the life of this Inca king is too precious, so there is such a ridiculous transaction in this world.

Just judging from the attitude of the other party, as long as they nod and agree, then this deal can really be concluded.

"Overseasers, don't be greedy!" King Inca mistakenly thought that Liu Zhang and Su Can were dissatisfied with the fact that they had too few chips, so he said angrily.

Su Can was moved, but couldn't make up his mind: "What should I do?"

"The emperor's destiny is greater than heaven!" Liu Zhang said calmly when faced with Su Can's inquiry.

Although he also wanted to complete this unprecedented transaction and bring this massive amount of gold back to China, he knew that greed would come with a heavy price.

Not to mention that they are still surrounded by the Incas. It is difficult to transport the gold here back to the ship. This kind of transaction can easily be broken.

Even if they did load the gold onto the ship, it would still be very difficult to return home. With the inedible gold here, they would probably starve to death on the ship.

Even if he succeeds in bringing the gold back to the Ming Dynasty, will the gold be handed over to the country or should he keep it for himself?

If they embezzle the gold, they will be on the opposite side of the whole of China; if they hand over the gold to the country, then the emperor may not be very happy. After all, their most important mission is to bring back the treasure seeds.

That's why their best approach is to refuse directly, but they must not be greedy.

The summer wind blew through the valley, and the strands of hair that were swept up made Su Can wake up from his greed.

Even though this was a world-class transaction, even if it could make him richer than the emperor, they simply could not bear the consequences of the transaction.

puff!

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot through the air, and its target turned out to be the Inca King.

All this happened so quickly that no one could realize what was going on. Fortunately, the Inca king rolled forward to avoid the arrows.

"Who is it?" King Inca did not expect to be plotted by his own people, and he roared angrily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his face turned ferocious, and a small green snake bit him on the hand and then fled into the grass and disappeared.

snake?

Liu Zhang and Su Can both paid attention to the small green snake that sprang out, and couldn't help but look horrified.

Other snakes are fine, but the little snake just now is not unfamiliar. Not long ago, on their way to find this royal city, a soldier was bitten by this kind of snake, and eventually died of the poison.

"Save me, I can't die now!" King Inca covered his wound and said with the last glimmer of hope when he saw the two overseas people.

Liu Zhang and Su Can looked at each other, knowing that they had encountered a big problem.

Now the Inca King's face suddenly turned pale. He must have been poisoned by such a powerful snake venom, but neither of them were doctors, so how could they help the Inca King detoxify and treat it?

"Your Majesty!"

When the Inca people who were originally far away saw that their compatriots had actually hurt their king, they all angrily looked for the culprit, and some people came towards this side nervously.

"do not come!"

Su Can knew that the Inca King was the bargaining chip for them to leave here safely, so he shouted loudly to stop him.

Beware of another sneak attack by the Incas on the Inca King or their two adults, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu pulled out the Xuefeng knives at their waists and looked at the crowd not far away with great vigilance. However, they quickly noticed the person who looked like A very calm prince.

Originally they were at an absolute disadvantage, but the Incas did not know how to smelt iron, and the arrows they used were all made of wood, so the accuracy and lethality of the bows and arrows were much lower.

That's why, not only can they block arrows, but they also wear light armor to prevent themselves from getting hurt.

"King!" Princess Inca rushed over regardless, but she was already crying.

Liu Zhang did not want to see the Inca King die, so he immediately asked anxiously: "Is there an antidote?"

"This poison will kill you!" Princess Inca shook her head with tears in her eyes.

what?

Su Can's heart immediately went cold, and he looked at the Inca King holding the wound in disbelief.

If this kind of thing were done in the Ming Dynasty, even the most poisonous snakes could be cured. However, there is no detoxifier in the royal city of this country. I am afraid they don't even have the concept of a doctor.

Liu Zhang had just experienced life and death, but now he seemed much calmer: "Su Can, King Inca cannot die yet, I have thought of a way!"

"What can I do?" Su Can looked extremely anxious, but couldn't calm down at all. First of all, there seemed to be a usurper in this country, secondly, the Inca king was seriously injured, and finally, they were trapped in a tight siege. God simply did not allow them to return to the Ming Dynasty with their treasure seeds and make contributions.

Liu Zhang was ready to reveal the answer: "This method is..."

"I thought of it!" After Liu Zhang's reminder, Su Can suddenly reacted and looked at the Inca King again.

The Inca King was so shocked by Su Can's gaze that he felt faintly in danger.

"King Inca, if you don't want to die, then you have to listen to us in everything!" Liu Zhang also showed the decisiveness of a leader, but he was the first to make conditions.

The Inca King did not want to die in such a useless manner, and was unwilling to die now. He nodded as if he understood.

Although he was not so afraid of death, it was because he did not finalize the successor and gave his third son the identity of the Son of the Sun. The empire connected by him as a link could easily fall apart.

"Kill these overseas people and save our Inca king!" Prince Huayna Capac's eyes flashed with a fierce look, but he said with a big wave of his hand.

If his father died here, since he is now the only prince staying in this royal city, then this throne must belong to him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the overseas man holding the magic weapon in disbelief.

"kill!"

Su Can pulled out the Xuefeng knife hanging from his waist and slashed at the Inca King, and blood immediately splattered high.

Originally, they planned to kidnap the Inca King, so that they could escape with the potato seeds, but the development of the situation was completely beyond their expectations.

Now I just hope that God can be on my side and leave this place of right and wrong with the potato seeds smoothly.

boom!

In this melee, a signal bomb soared into the sky.

At this time, the three hundred Ming soldiers who were ambushing outside no longer hesitated and rushed towards the location of the signal bomb.

They were all carefully selected to come on board, and everyone had been on the battlefield. When they came to this wild land this time, they originally did not intend to kill, but the people here were really unreasonable.

In order to obtain potato seeds, they could be said to have gone through many hardships before coming to this royal city, but in the end they were treated like this. Originally, they could have been aggrieved, but Baozhong was related to the rise of their Chinese nation.

Whether it was for the sake of making great achievements or for the powerful empire behind them, they no longer hesitated this time, but swung the butcher knife at the Incas here.

Although outnumbered, the soldiers in front of them were lightly armored, and there were archers and fire commanders behind them. Facing these Indian warriors with wooden sticks in their hands, they don't need to be too afraid at all.

There is actually an insurmountable gap between the two civilizations. The Inca civilization was in the Bronze Age, but after going through various wars, China not only achieved a comprehensive lead in weapons, but also reached the master level in the military.

Just as the Incas rushed over in disorder, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already formed a battle formation and were frantically harvesting the mortal bodies that came nearby.

call out!call out!call out!

The archers followed the teachings of their ancestors, "Capture the thief first before capturing the king." However, when they saw the Incas leading their troops to kill them, they shot the leader immediately.

The Incas ruled the area east of the Andes in just a few decades, but there were still drawbacks to the rapid development, so not all the slaves who were snatched away might have worked for them.

"We surrender!"

"We are not Incas!"

"We are willing to serve you as our Lord!"

……

When facing the artifact in the hands of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, those who had nothing to do with the Incas threw the wooden sticks in their hands to the ground.

boom! boom! boom!

As the matchlock guns behind them took off, the Inca people rushing towards them fell to the ground one after another, but they were so frightened that the Inca people and slaves behind them dispersed, and many of them even began to kneel down and worship the gods.

If the bows and arrows just now were still within the acceptable range, but with the appearance of this sharp weapon that can take people's lives from a distance, they knew that they had encountered gods.

"You traitor!" The Inca king realized his son's intentions and immediately accused him loudly.

The knife just cut off was not to kill the Inca King, but to cut off the Inca King's hand, and in this rough way to prevent the poison from spreading in the body.

It was this move that successfully saved King Inca's life, and King Inca's excellent physical fitness allowed him to stand up and teach his son a lesson.

"kill!"

Prince Huayna Capac knew that there was no turning back when he fired his bow, so he commanded his loyal servants to continue the attack.

Although Su Can fought bravely, facing such a large number of Incas, he could only retreat into the valley and use the narrow terrain inside to defend.

"Sir, we are here!"

It was at this moment that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived behind them and were frantically harvesting the lives of this group of Incas.

Some foreigners who originally served as slaves now also acted as mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty, waving sticks in their hands to retaliate against the Incas who bullied them.

puff!

Prince Huayna Capac originally wanted to lead the resistance, but under the guidance of the combat idea of ​​capturing the thief first, a humble Ming archer shot and killed the future Inca king.

Su Can faced the Incas who still had an advantage in numbers, and immediately put the knife on the Inca King's neck again: "The Inca King is here, do you want to force me to kill him?"

King Inca had just returned from the ghost gate, and he ordered angrily: "Everyone throw down their weapons to me, or they will all be executed!"

As soon as these words came out, all the guards dropped their weapons and chose to surrender to Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the development of the situation. As long as he got the potato seeds he needed from them, he could embark on the return journey.

He really didn't want to stay in this hellish place for more than a quarter of an hour.

It's just that things are always beyond people's expectations. Just when they were about to take the potato seeds and escort King Jiayin away, a piece of bad news came back.

The third prince who originally went to fight returned with his army. The number was as high as 80,000, and now it was halfway up the mountain.

Liu Zhang and Su Can looked at each other. Originally, their original intention was to get the potato seeds and leave, but who would have thought that things would happen one after another, and now they would have to face an army of 80,000 people.

Faced with this terrible situation, Liu Zhang also begged to the far west: "Please protect me from the emperor!" (End of this chapter)
