Chapter 1,190: The waves of the Caribbean Sea, Silver Crow Chief is really having a hard time...
"Hundred catties of vanilla? In order to welcome back his daughter and grandson, Chief Silver Crow really spent a lot of money. He took out all the vanilla accumulated in Crow City for many years and dedicated it to me, a woman with no vision and who likes to eat and drink! Haha!
"
As night gradually fell, a bonfire was lit in the hall. The bright firelight reflected the snake mother Miava on the stone seat, outlining her thrilling outline of light and shadow, as well as the raised corners of her mouth and the cold disdain in her eyes. Beside
The little light snake blinked its eyes, glanced at its mother's appearance, and then imitated the way to raise its little face, raised the corners of its mouth, and "sneered" at the white-feathered messenger.
The firelight swayed, and the female warriors of the temple were wearing armor and holding axes, casting elongated shadows. Elder Silver Crow and White Crow cautiously saluted to the big and small people standing side by side on the stone seat. For the two-year-old Light Snake, he
He bowed his head in worship in the same solemn manner, even in a more humble manner, showing more respect than he did to Miyava!
The little light snake is the prophesied "daughter of divine blessing" who has the blood of both the sun and the divine snake. She is also said to be married to the youngest son of the divine king, so she is destined to be one of the most respected people in the world. And she is.
The "prophecy and divinity" in her body have real weight in the Totonak tribe, and have entrusted the hearts of countless coastal tribes! If there were not this "Totonak Goddess" who was deliberately deified and conformed to the ancient prophecy,
, the name "Snake Mother" alone cannot actually unite the millions of Totonak tribes.
Even if the "Snake Mother" can see through people's hearts, and even if she has strong political skills, she still can't match the appeal of the "God-Blessed Daughter". Because in this era, in the Mesoamerican tribes that believe in gods, the people's hearts belong to "God"
, is the sacred bloodline, and is the ethereal and real "divine nature"! And the so-called "divine nature" is naturally born with nobility, is born to be aloof, is worshiped by countless people, and cannot have any humbleness or stain! Only
Only a "god" who is born perfect can guide the tribe and make countless tribesmen kneel...
However, Miava has gone through many twists and turns. During the past twenty years of her humble life, she had too many humbleness and stains, which had nothing to do with "divineness". In the eyes of the seaside aristocrats, this person was a powerful person.
Like the Snake Mother, a terrifying "woman" who can manipulate people's hearts, she is still just a "human". And this difference is why she sometimes can't help but envy or even be jealous of her daughter...
"Witness the Lord God! One hundred kilograms of vanilla and grass beans is enough to show the sincerity of the chief! Even the tribute given by Silver Crow to the Mexica Alliance is only a few dozen kilograms of vanilla a year... The two princesses and royal descendants
, it is really not suitable to stay on the Totonac beach for a long time... After all, all royal descendants with the blood of the Mexica royal family will be paid attention to by the Mexica royal family... and as two royal descendants, they will naturally also be paid attention to by the royal family elders.
Even the Mexica God King Avit personally proposed the marriage!…”
In this era, until the invention of artificial pollination in the 19th century, the real vanilla vanilla was a Mexican specialty that was more precious than gold! It took 3-4 years to bloom after being planted, and then passed through the unique Mexican jungle without thorns.
Bees (Melipona) pollinate to produce fragrant pods with a small yield. And because of its unique aroma, it attracts pests and birds. It is also very delicate and cannot tolerate too much rain and light. Simply put, planting
Vanilla requires very professional planting techniques, otherwise it will die at every turn!…
Therefore, in the entire Mesoamerican world, the only ones who are really good at growing vanilla and producing a large amount of vanilla are the Huastec tribes in the south who have domesticated and cultivated vanilla for generations, and the Mexicans in the Mexica Valley who have vanilla chinampas and professional serfs.
The nobles of Western Canada. However, the Totonac tribes that have experienced cruel wars do not grow and produce much vanilla.
"Hmm...Mexica royal family proposes marriage? Threatening me with the God King?...Haha! It's really a crow with eagle feathers!..."
Snake Mother Miava smiled softly and did not care about the "Mexican tiger skin" pulled out by Elder Silver Crow. Following Xilot, her understanding of the internal politics of Mexica was comparable to Elder Silver Crow's.
Much more in-depth. She can even know a little about the personality traits of important figures within the alliance, and she has delved deeper than Shulot!
In fact, Miava, the "snake mother" who has a tortuous background and is extremely realistic, has fought back from the bottom. Her study and control of human nature are far better than those who have not experienced major setbacks and still have some ideals and romanticism.
"Eagle Father" Shulot...
In Miyava's view, God King Avit is like a proud condor, always staring at the biggest prey and the most threatening similar species. His strategic direction is always southeast, and he is the only one left in the world.
The biggest prey: the Mixtec and Zapotec who are unwilling to surrender, the 1,400 miles of southern mountains and forests, and the nearly two million Yunzhong tribes!
After conquering the tribes in the clouds, the God King will look for opponents everywhere. He will probably continue to conquer the southeast and attack the highland Maya from the seaside Zapotec... Only in this way can he surpass the achievements of the ancestors of the past generations and be worthy of the God.
Only the immortal greatness that the king longs for can enable him to achieve great military successes that surpass and overwhelm His Highness!
In a word, the vision of the God King is too high and his ambitions are too great! For the northeastern regions that have long been conquered by the ancestor Montezuma, for these scattered "little Kalami", these swamps, jungles and seashores are "difficult"
He really looked down upon the "bad land" and the wandering wasteland dog descendants! And Miava concluded that as long as all the northeastern ministries maintain a sufficient amount of alliance tribute, there will be no blatant rebellion.
, affecting the ruling authority of the God King... will not attract the interference of the Mexica army!
After all, the alliance had to accumulate food for several years before it could launch a large-scale military conquest and carry out a war that would destroy the country. The God-King certainly did not want to waste such a large-scale conquest in the northeastern corner of the country that had already surrendered.
Those who really want to interfere with the Silver Crow will only be a certain political force within the alliance. And under the centralized power of the God-King, even the glorious nobles of the local states or the royal branches of the central capital cannot take it.
How many troops will be sent out... As for Silver Crow Chief Papata's idea, he probably still wants to use the Mexican tiger skin to protect himself and sit on the wall to wait and see.
After thinking through all this, the snake mother Miava's smile gradually became brighter, and her eyes became colder. She just smiled and nodded, making a calm promise.
"Well, Li Yu, Li Yao has given birth to His Highness's bloodline, and it's indeed time to return to the Silver Crow Tribe!..."
"Ah! I praise you, my venerable Snake Mother! The friendship between the War Chief and you will last forever. And the Silver Crow Alliance and the Seaside Alliance are also blood-linked allies by marriage!..."
Hearing this, Elder Silver Crow and White Crow were overjoyed and hurriedly praised him. He also took advantage of the situation and proposed the second mission goal of the great chief, which was to form an alliance with the Totonak people, stabilize the southeast, and even resist the north and west together.
The canine descendants…
"Yes! The Silver Crow Alliance and the Seaside Alliance are both inherited by His Highness's bloodline, so naturally they are in-law allies connected by blood!"
Snake Mother Miava nodded with a smile, and when Elder Silver Crow's smile froze, she continued to finish what she had said before.
"After all, according to the secret agreement between Chief Papata and His Highness, the children of the two princesses are the undisputed heirs of the Silver Crow Tribe! ... However, with the current situation of the Silver Crow Tribe, if we want to establish His Highness's bloodline as the heir,
That’s not easy! It’s really difficult for Silver Crow Chief…”
"Uh? What kind of secret agreement? I haven't heard the chief say that...this? Snake mother? The chief..."
"You see, the Silver Crow Tribe has brought together dozens of Vastek tribes to form the Silver Crow Alliance. There are four or five large tribes of tens of thousands of people in the alliance... so many large tribes, so loosely organized
The tribal alliance, even Papata himself may not be able to secure the position of leader of the alliance! As for the candidates to succeed the tribe or even the alliance, there will definitely be internal constraints!…”
"Ah? That... the great chief is the only leader of the alliance... there is no need to worry... and the candidate to succeed... has not yet been..."
"Lord God! In addition to the grandchildren of His Highness, Papata also has several adult sons, all of whom have their own tribes in the Silver Crow Alliance and have married with other tribes. He has also married five wives and concubines from major tribes.
He also gave birth to two sons, both of whom had the support of their maternal clan. Even in the Mexica Alliance, his youngest daughter Lilin and Quatlawac had just gotten married, and they would definitely give birth to royal descendants... Hey!
If I were the Silver Crow chief, I would definitely have a headache right now! To take back my two daughters and grandchildren and establish them as the heirs of the Silver Crow tribe, how much determination and how much opposition must be suppressed!..."
"Uh! Snake Mother...the Great Chief, his...the heir...this...is really difficult!..."
Hearing these words, Silver Crow Elder Cao Baiya was shocked, and his face showed a bit of panic. This snake-like and charming woman is really too powerful! She actually knew the true and false story of the Silver Crow Alliance.
It was so clear that even several successor candidates were known. She was worthy of the terrifying title of "Snake Mother". But the other party was insisting on some fictitious secret agreement and the Silver Crow heir. This was to directly interfere with the Silver Crow.
There is an internal struggle within the Crow Alliance!…
"So, since the Silver Crow Chief is sincere and has sent you, elder, as an envoy to seek Totonak's support... then as the Snake Mother Chief of the Seaside Alliance, and as a blood-linked in-law ally, I naturally have no shirk of responsibility!...
Let’s do this! I will draw out eight thousand tribal warriors and mobilize two thousand navy to escort the two noble ladies and the royal family westward, back to Silver Crow’s Crow City!…”
"Wha...what?!...Send ten thousand warriors to escort the descendants of your noble family?!...This! This really doesn't have to be like this!..."
The little light snake tilted her head slightly and glanced at her mother again. Although she couldn't understand her mother's words, she could see that the white-feathered messenger under the stone seat was obviously starting to get scared. After thinking about it, she followed her mother's example and raised the corners of her mouth.
She stood up and narrowed her eyes into cute crescent moons, looking at the "white bird" like a "snake". Then, she gently rubbed her little hands, pinched her little face, and stretched it out to hold it in the air.
