Aztec Eternals

The sunset and the moon rose, and it was another two days in the blink of an eye. The round moon rises into the sky, and the moonlight falls like water. The mountains in the north, the fortresses on the mountains, the long river in the south, the boats on the river... and the Mexican military camp in the middle, all fell silent under the moonlit night, temporarily hiding the brutal killing and blood and fire in peace.

The night was deep, and Shulot sat cross-legged in the main tent. Beside him was Eckart, the head of the bodyguard in charge of ink research, but Naxiu was nowhere to be seen.

"What a strange little fox! In the first two months, he was seduced in every possible way, but in the past two months he was hiding..."

Shulot glanced at the loyal and resolute captain of the guard beside him, complaining inexplicably in his heart.

Three months ago, after "painting in the world" that night, he and Naxiu had a lot of nonsense, and they had a bit of a taste for it. However, during this time, Naxiu was a little strange, often saying that she was not feeling well, and she rested very early in the evening. Sherlot doted on her a little, worried that she was sick, so he allowed her. However, in this way, those who add incense and grind at night are no longer slender red sleeves, but strong warriors.

The warriors stood guard, silent. The blood at the entrance of the tent has been cleaned up. During this time, in order to command the legion nearby, Shulot did not continue to live in the comfortable temple, but rested in the military camp. At this moment, the high bright moon fell from the top of the tent, and the shining bonfire cast light and shadow from the corner, illuminating the map and letters in the hands of the king.

"My supreme wolf king, the Guaquili Legion, listen to you! We are recruiting those fleeing Tlaxcala tribes in the eastern woods. Everyone is digging in the woods all day. Although they are very tired, they have already Recruited 10,000 people, and is transporting to the water valley city in the south..."

Shirott looked at the crooked letter from the black wolf, the corners of his mouth raised. He stretched out his hand and unfolded the latest kingdom documents, while checking the reports of the two southern counties.

In February, the Tuntian camp in the southern water valley city, and another 40,000 Zhuang people were transported away, almost empty. In the camp that stretched for more than ten miles, there were only 10,000 young Misteke prisoners left. On the other hand, the kingdom of the lake in the lower reaches of the long river is in a state of food shortage after "swallowing" 220,000 young men and women of various tribes in one year. The two southern counties could no longer accept more immigrants or serfs before the fall harvest.

According to Xiulote's will, at this time, the two southern counties are building a large number of bronze and iron agricultural tools to prepare in advance for the crucial spring ploughing in three months. There are also large copper mines in the north of Zicao County, which belong to the huge and narrow Chingambat copper mine belt. These scattered copper mines are being developed nearby by veteran Etalik for small-scale mining and smelting. The smelting of bronze shaft furnaces also took the risk of technology diffusion and was implemented in the craftsmen of the two southern counties in order to obtain the maximum production capacity.

As for the iron ore in Heiyanshan, iron has already been tapped in the shaft furnace. There is a lot of iron, but the quality is low, and it is basically used to make agricultural tools. Iron farming tools produced in the first year will be given priority to the villages of Mexica and Prepecha, the pillars of the kingdom. The expensive bronze farm implements were handed over to the priests of the Lord God to manage according to the custom, and then the priests lent them to the devout villagers. The manure collected in the village was also distributed by the priests.

Under the kingdom's governance system, the piety of faith will have specific considerations, and there will also be tangible benefits. Let's promote faith as soon as possible!

Now, the two southern counties of the kingdom are trying their best to maintain stability and try to reclaim lake fields, and everything is mainly based on agriculture. Only after the autumn harvest this year, with the most basic harvest, and hundreds of thousands of captive migrants in transit, can they relax a little. The grain produced in the two southern counties should be self-sufficient after the autumn harvest. Two more years of reclamation will surely lead to explosive growth.

The Apa Plain, which is fertile and thousands of miles away, is the land of abundance and the land of fish and rice in the positioning of the kingdom. When the two counties in the south are developed enough and rich enough, the energy will continuously provide a large amount of food! And this also means that the attack range of the Kingdom Legion can rely on the long river of Tarsus to sweep across thousands of miles from east to west, and even go further!

Thinking of this, Shilot stretched out his finger and groped in the west of the world map. At this moment, a small merchant fleet in the kingdom should have obeyed his will and set off from the new trout town at the mouth of the Tulsa River to the north coast.

The merchant fleet was not large, with more than 30 catamaran canoes, more than 400 people, half warriors and half sailors. They would head north again, following the route recorded by the kingdom's first expedition. The tasks they have to complete are to explore the details of the North Tecos tribe, send gem gifts to the local chiefs, and then land to explore and prepare for future expeditions. The second is to have contact with the far north, the Yorem tribe, which produces gold and copper, and the Yorem tribe, which produces coal and gold, and conduct a small amount of trade.

"The kingdom has no shortage of gold and copper, but high-quality bituminous coal..."

Thinking of the various minerals in the Lower California Bay, Shiloh's eyes flashed and he swallowed silently. The artisans of the kingdom tried burning the samples brought back by the old militiamen and were amazed at the quality of these coals!

These high-quality bituminous coals produce enough heat and do not have the problem of sulfur content in Tianchao coal mines. They are excellent fuels for iron making. The Heiyanshan Iron Mine is also by the sea and can be easily reached by water transportation. Just this distance...

"Three thousand two hundred miles by boat along the coast is equivalent to sailing from Gyeonggi in Daming to Quanzhou! ... And if it is only three hundred and twenty miles, the warriors of the kingdom will set off to attack in no time..."

Shirot sighed in his heart. With such a long distance, with the kingdom's current level of navigation, it is difficult to carry out large-scale trade exchanges in a short period of time, not to mention military conquest. But the lower California bay is sheltered by the outer islands, and the weather is calm, and even a catamaran can barely go back and forth. Therefore, small-scale exchanges between the North and the South can still be done.

Of course, the Kingdom Merchant Fleet's northward trip had the original third purpose, which was to bring back the struvite to the island. Before the old militia brought back too few samples, whether it was trying to make nitrate or fertilizing fields, they couldn't make a name for themselves.

"The Baja California Islands have very little rainfall, and the struvite on the islands should be a mixture of calcium phosphate and nitrate. The technology of making nitrate from struvite has to be explored for many years. When it is ground, it is directly added to The fertile fields in the fields are easy and tight. If you can create a sand ship of the Heavenly Dynasty, one ship will carry three or four hundred tons of struvite... If you add it to the fields, it will be all grain that you can touch! There is enough. Fertilizer, in the climate of Central America, Milpa can also be like chinampa, three crops a year or more!"

Shirott looked at the chart in the northwest, and thought for a moment, as if a cat was scratching in his heart. He looked to the unknown south again, thinking about the struvite of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, the almost endless wealth.

"No! For the future empire, endless food is more important than endless gold and silver! And all this must come from the sea, from the vast north and south continents!"

Thinking of this, Shirot lowered his eyes, and thoughts flashed in his heart. Just to achieve a breakthrough in navigation technology, we still have to wait passively. Afterwards, he flipped through Heilang's letter again, and it quickly reached the end.

"His Royal Highness, the Kingdom Legion is in the east, recruiting the Tlaxcala tribe in the mountains, giving them food to eat, and spreading the faith of the Lord God. But in the past year, many tribes have fled to the land of the Totonak people, It was 'eaten' by those big tribes, big villages, and even city-states. The Totonak people in the east treated many Tlaxcala tribes as serfs. Even the neighboring Five Mountains City sent a large group of Totonak warriors , block the surrender of the Kingdom Legion, and attack our squad! The Guaquili warriors are very indignant..."

"Um?"

Seeing this, Shirot paused for a while, looking surprised.

"The powerful alliance of the four states of Tlaxcala was destroyed by the alliance's eastern expedition. Now, six Mexican legions from the north and south are gathered in the Tlaxcala Valley, and the Totonaks in the east dare to do so at this time , to provoke the alliance?"

Thinking of this, Shiloh pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He continued to look down, and sure enough, the content behind was as expected.

"His Royal Highness, your loyal black wolf asks you! The village of Totonak in the east, provoking the alliance, provoking the kingdom, offending the main god... They blocked the kingdom from recruiting the Tlaxcalans, and they also have many, many Ding Zhuang. Their warriors have fought against the legion's scouts several times, killing dozens of kingdom warriors!...I beg you to allow me to dispatch the entire legion to punish these Totonaks who dare to offend! "

Seeing that the Totonaks were already at war with the Alliance, Shilot frowned and cursed inwardly.

"...Good belligerent black wolf!...When you come back, I will punish you for copying the Lord God's "Ali Sutra" ten times by hand!"

Afterwards, Shirot's expression changed, thinking about the pros and cons. After a while, his eyes became sharp and cold. Strong ambition is beating in his chest, with the desire to dominate and plunder, always eager for further growth and power.

"The king asked me to besiege the city. I'm afraid this long siege will continue for a long time, even until the next autumn harvest. The alliance's food is not abundant, and there will be losses in transportation. Last year, the army gathered the fields and harvested a lot. The vital logistics are all in the hands of others..."

"This year, we can continue to cultivate fields. But in the past two months, we have only managed 10,000 Tlaxcala for the elderly and the weak. The field camp outside Shuidu City has more than 500,000 mu of mature fields and can support 100,000 people. Reclamation!..."

"The Totonaks have already offended the Alliance and fought against the legions of the Kingdom. Whatever the cause, in order to maintain the majesty of the Alliance, they must be fought for peace! ... What's more, the kingdom needs dings! More dings, More serfs, more warriors, means a stronger army!  …”

After thinking for a moment, Shilot finally made up his mind. He already has a full understanding that the military group of the kingdom he built with his own hands is a pure war machine.

For such a single-minded and rapidly expanding military group, it needs to constantly plunder enough nutrients from the soil of all parts of the world. It doesn't make much sense to have a peaceful and stable relationship with the Totonaks. On the contrary, within the framework of the Mexica Union, attacking, plundering and annexing to your heart's content is the fastest way to grow!

"Black wolf, the Totonak people offend the Lord God, I allow you to punish them severely! I will also write to King Avet and report the details of the Totonak people..."

Sherlot picked up the pen, dipped it in blue ink, and wrote a letter that seemed to glow red.

"There are still three months before this year's spring ploughing. The kingdom needs both **** to cultivate and women to give birth. The Guaquili Legion can let go, but don't do needless killings! ... White Snake Hill City has no more The ability to break through the siege. I will send eight thousand 'feather geese' corps to help you transport the prisoners and cover the flanks. As for the Wushan City, which took the initiative to send troops..."

After writing this, Shilot paused for a while. His eyes flashed, and he wrote the last sentence coldly.

"You first send your personnel to investigate the population and city defenses in the city. The kingdom's fleet has just brought in a new batch of gunpowder and pottery pears. Cloud Snake Mountain City and White Snake Hill City have high walls and too steep terrain, which is not conducive to artillery. Unleash the power...if the time is right, I will send the artillery battalion of the Imperial Guard Corps to go to the foot of Wushan City..."

The rainy season in Central America is too long, too much precipitation in the Tlaxcala Valley, and too much moisture in the air. Most of the gunpowder carried by the South Road Corps last year failed after the long rainy season. Likewise, during the rainy season, the production of gunpowder in the kingdom also stagnated, and everything had to wait for the rain to pass.

It wasn't until yesterday that the latest batch of gunpowder was transported to the tree snake city with the kingdom's transport fleet. And along with the gunpowder, there was a letter from the deputy director of the Shenqi Institute, Talaya.

Thinking of the figure standing alone, Shulot pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he finally stretched out his hand and opened the letter with the fragrant flowers.

The letter was printed with sun-like flower marks, and there were two mimosa flowers in it. In this era, mimosa was regarded as a spiritual plant because it moved when touched. According to legend, there is a girl's soul, which is sealed in the grass. Only when the flowers bloom can they be seen by those who miss them. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

As a priest, Shirot naturally knew this legend. He lowered his eyes with a complicated expression, reading a letter from a girl from afar.

"To my Sun God...the great victory of the Eastern Expedition, your loyal...servant, I congratulate you on the ground, and pray to the Lord God for you!...According to your will, the Gunpowder Division of the Kingdom has discovered several bats. The cave, began to extract saltpeter from the bat guano in the cave. The kingdom's gunpowder production has increased again. Every month except the rainy season, more than 10,000 catties can be produced... A new batch of gunpowder weapons will follow. Arrived with this letter. And every month before the June rains, the same amount of gunpowder will arrive..."

Shulot held the letter and smelled the fragrance of Dandan, his heart was inexplicably soft. Talaya was in charge of the Divine Revelation Institute for him, working hard, in charge of the development and production of gunpowder, and four years passed in a flash... After a while, Shuluo calmed down and continued to read. But soon, his eyes were sharp, and he suddenly got up!

"...Blessed by the Lord! The rains of the rainy season are the inspiration of the Lord, and the transportation along the river has brought new discoveries...My Highness, after hard exploration, I finally found a way to double the power of gunpowder. way!"
