Aztec Eternals

Chapter 598: Militias, warriors, merchants and priests, expedition ships to the East...

"Five... five thousand miles?!..."

The old militiaman Chiwako was trembling all over, even his voice was trembling.

"Five thousand miles to the east... Isn't that... the endless East China Sea?"

Puapu was surprised. In ancient myths, the East China Sea was turbulent, and there were terrifying sea spirits. It was the last place where Feathered Serpent God left.

"Ah!...The homeland of the East, the hometown of our ancestors, and the Snake Island in the sea..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo's expression changed, and his thoughts flooded into his heart. He was taken by his parents as an ignorant toddler when he fled his hometown of Tutursh Mayapan. In the blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed.

"Hmm. Tikalo, remember? You were in the capital city in the lake, and you presented me two gems from the Eastern Snake Island! Those two gems attract and repel each other, and were born from the black hard rock group... ."

Shulot's expression moved slightly. He remembered the two perfect chromite spinels, and a strong desire welled up in his heart. That is a very important, even world-changing Cuban iron ore! And Cuba's iron ore reserves are huge, the purity is high, and the associated metals are precious enough to allow the powerful Central American empire to mine until the industrial age!

After a while, Shilott's thoughts returned from his distant longing. He is patient enough to take decades to complete the grand idea step by step.

"This time, you are going to the Snake Island in the eastern sea! You have to find the location of the black ore, leave enough manpower, and establish strongholds and outposts! ... Well, Puapu, you are in the Black Rock Mountain, Together with the black wolf Toltek, we also discovered small pieces of black ore, so I should still remember the appearance of those stones."

"Yes, Your Majesty. If I see a black stone like that again, I will definitely recognize it!"

Puap stood up, like an orangutan, and patted his chest hard. He remembered that the priest of Tecos, who was covered in stones, made the black stones fly around, forming strange stone balls, so frightened that the black wolf general didn't dare to make a move... As a result, he rushed up and was hacked to death! This experience, he can blow for a lifetime.

"Very good! You have to record the waterways along the way and the Mayan city-states you pass through. At this point, you have to rely on Mayan guides... This voyage is just the beginning, and the further back you go, the more warriors you can carry! Carlo, I made a promise to you, and it will come true!"

Shulot's expression was calm, and he looked at the Mayan businessman beside him with a will that could not be violated. Seeing this, Tikalo pursed his lips and lowered his divine head towards the fully grown king.

"Your Highness, follow your will! I will bring the old sailors of the merchant group to join the kingdom's exploration fleet. They are all very familiar with the waterway along the east coast of Totonak to the Yucatan lowlands. However, if you want to go from the Yucatan lowlands to the Snake Island in the sea, you have to get to the easternmost Ekabobang, contact the local Mayan caravan, and find a senior guide... The caravan's fleet, there is no real Going that voyage..."

There are many city-states in the Mayan land, and there are also many caravans. Each Mayan caravan generally has a fixed route, with stable transactions and output. For example, the trade group Tikalo was in traded in the Mexica Union, selling goods from the seaside port of Totonac.

In the whole of Central America, the Union of Mexica is where wealth gathers, the most prosperous place in the world! Tikalo's business group has influence and channels here, and Mayan caravans in other places need to sell goods to them, and generally they will not be easily offended. Of course, behind the large caravan, there must be nobles from the city-state, and the attitudes of these people are often very changeable.

"Yeah. The Lord God once gave me divine enlightenment. The slender Snake Island is just east of Ekabobang in the northeast of Yucatan! That Snake Island is a thousand or two thousand miles from east to west. I will miss it!... Of course, if you can find a familiar guide, it will be more secure. In addition, in addition to the Mayan city-state, you will also need to contact the Taino tribes on the island. As for the content of the contact.. ."

Speaking of which, Shulot paused for a while, then summoned his personal guard and gave an order in a low voice. Soon, a priest in a white robe appeared in front of everyone.

"Respected divine enlightener, the chief priest. Greetings from the second priest Thomas! Praise the Lord God!"

The meaning of Tomatl is very simple and clear, which is "tomato". In the Union of Mexica, the tomato is a common fruit that also has some symbolic religious significance because of its red blood-like sap. From the name of Thomas, it can be seen that he is not an aristocrat with inheritance, but he is likely to come from an ordinary priest family.

"Praise the Lord God! He protects us!"

Sherlot prayed, nodded with a smile, and looked at everyone again.

"This time out to sea, Thomas will lead more than ten devout priests of the main god, carrying printed scriptures and books, and go with you. When the fleet finds the black stone iron ore and establishes a stronghold, they will stay in the stronghold. , to the surrounding Tainos, to spread the faith of the Lord God! ... Likewise, you must leave enough warriors to protect the safety of the priests and collect food from the surrounding villages."

Militia, warriors, merchants and priests, this is the composition of this expedition, and it is also the beginning of the first eastern colonization of the Kingdom of the Lake. What kind of price will be paid for such exploration, and what kind of return will it bring? Shirot is still unclear. However, in order to deal with the danger across the sea in advance, he must do this! He also has enough strength and resources to undertake all this!

"By the way, Thomas, this time you go to sea, you need to bring more sun-dried tomatoes. They are the gift of the **** of war. They use red divine juice to supplement your blood..."

"Follow your guidance, Master Chief Priest! The light of the Sun Lord God will surely dispel the darkness of Feathered Serpent Long Island and resist the evil from the east!"

Thomas fell to his knees and bowed his head respectfully. The prophecy of His Highness the East, has been spread on a small scale among the priests of the kingdom. And as the selected devout priest, he was ready to dedicate his life to the Lord God, and even sacrifice himself! no matter where...

"Very good! The light of the Lord God will illuminate the sky and the sea and resist all evil!"

Sherlot reached out his hand with satisfaction, and shook Thomas' hair. Then, he turned his head and looked at the old militiaman.

"Chiwaco, how are the seven longships of the expedition fleet?"

"Your Majesty, the seven longboats have been repaired in Water Valley City for nearly a month, and they are all in good condition. Now, they are moored in the valley water channel not far from Tree Snake City, and can set sail at any time."

Chiwako lowered his head and replied carefully. From the water valley city to the tree snake city, the land route is only more than 100 miles, but the water route is almost doubled. He took the fleet and went back and forth, and then went around from the Xiaoshui River to the Gushui River in the Tree Snake City (;Zahuapan). In the Nahua language, Zahuapan means "water for healing grains".

"Water Valley City... Valley Water River... Tree Snake City..."

Shilot rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. If you can organize tens of thousands of people, repair the river, and dig the canal, you can directly halve this two-hundred-mile tortuous waterway. It is a pity that the land of these four countries will not belong to him.

"His Royal Highness, when I came, I also saw the long boat in the Gushui River. It was indeed big and long. It was 30% bigger than the galley of the Yucatan city-state! It's really a gift from the gods!"

Ticarlo bowed, UU reading www. uukanshu.com sincerely admired it for a while. Then, he asked cautiously.

"It's just... Your Highness, the Valley River only circulates in the four states. From Tlaxcala, to the seaside of the Totonaks, there is only the Owl River (;) in the north, and the sharp corner river in the middle. (; Filobobos), and the Pingsha River (; Colipa) at the southern end. These three big rivers, but all of them are not connected with the Gushui River... These seven long ships, sailing here?..."

"Haha! Don't worry, I already have a plan, and I have already prepared enough manpower!"

Shiroute smiled confidently, confident.

"Just follow the Gushui River to the end of the east... Then, at the uppermost tributary of the Owl River, Tenexac, the herbal lake (Tenexac) enters the water!"

"Ah? Your Highness, at the end of Gushui River, it is still dozens of miles away from Tenek Herbal Lake! There shouldn't be any water connection there..."

"Well. I have already sent someone to investigate. There is a thirty-mile land road between the end of the Gushui River and the Herbal Lake."

Speaking of which, Shirault looked towards the east, and a story from not long ago appeared in his mind.

"Haha! The Lord God blesses you! For the distance of 30 miles, we need to travel on dry land and rebuild the East!"
