Chapter 1,196 From Cuba to Haiti, Tomat’s faith ambition!
The change of the New Year is the movement of the sun and the moon. The vast Caribbean Sea is still surging with waves. The "evil" fleet sailed away, cutting through thousands of miles of waves. And the turbulent "waves" on the island of Cuba are
It continues to spread among the Taíno tribes!
"The Lord God witnessed that a miracle has come! The prophecy brought by the longship shaman three years ago has really come true! The unprecedented white-skinned evil demon has arrived in the hot land of Cuba in a big ship! Their vanguard fleet,
They have been defeated by the longship tribe, leaving behind big ships with white sails and long-bearded prisoners! ...But they will come back! They will also come with big ships and wild beasts, bringing cruel killings and plundering, and endless
Plague and death!…”
In the past month or two, Taíno canoes, carrying tribal envoys from the kingdom, have set out in a hurry from Iron Bay Town. There are more than a dozen of them. Not only did they circle the island of Cuba, they notified the coast
The Taíno tribes from all over the world went deep into the interior of Cuba, and even went to the island of Haiti further east, notifying the western Haitian tribes that had commercial contacts with Tiewan Town. The envoys who arrived one after another not only brought
The miracle that was predicted and verified also brought a more important invitation to the alliance!
"Blessed by the Lord God! The Great Longship Shaman Tomat, in the name of the Lord God, swore a blood oath to protect the hot land of Cuba! The Longship Tribe is willing to unite the tribes of the Hot Land to form a tribal alliance to resist evil! ...and the Longship Great Shaman invited the chiefs of each tribe.
Together with the elders, witness the evil demon’s ship and captives, and head to the Iron Bay Town Association of the Longship Tribe!…”
"Praise the Lord God! After the envoys from each ministry arrive, the Longship Shaman will hold the New Year's Ceremony to the Lord God. Under the watchful eyes of many chiefs, he will personally sacrifice the captured white-skinned demons! ... And the goods produced by each ministry can last for ten years.
Transactions are held during the festival on the day. Conflicts and disputes between various tribes can also be resolved through coordination and resolution by the impartial Longship Shaman under the witness of all the tribal envoys participating in the festival!…”
Three years have passed, and the kingdom's exploration team, with the help of the converted Taíno tribe, has explored the details of the island of Cuba, and has also learned a little bit about the Caribbean Islands further east.
The entire island of Cuba is three thousand miles from east to west and two hundred to four hundred miles from north to south. Its area is equivalent to the total area of the Gatotonak seaside alliance in the lake kingdom! And its actual area is 110,000 square kilometers, which is about the same as that of later generations.
Su Province or Fujian Province.
On this warm and fertile island, there are more than 30 large Taíno tribes with thousands of people. There are hundreds of small tribes with hundreds of people scattered everywhere. In Cuba, the officiant
According to Tomat's calculations, due to the exceptionally high yield of cassava, the population of the Taíno tribe on the entire island may be larger than originally expected, ranging from 600,000 to 800,000!
Further east of Cuba is the "Island of Mountains", the island of Haiti (Ayiti), which is also inhabited by many Taino tribes. Priest Tomat specially sent a galley team to visit Haiti in a full circle.
The Taino chiefs and fleets along the coast presented gems from the lake and invited all ministries to trade in Iron Bay Town. They also spread the prophecies of the white-skinned demon and promoted the name of the Lord God. The large island of Haiti is about 1,300 miles from east to west, and from north to south.
Two hundred to six hundred miles away, the area is estimated to be two-thirds the size of Cuba. As for the population of the various tribes in Haiti, it is also in the hundreds of thousands, but since the inland has not been explored, it is impossible to give an estimate.
As for going east from Haiti, I heard that there is a large island called "the brave and noble land", Boriken. This large island, later known as Puerto Rico, has tens of thousands of Thai people.
The Nuo tribe is not as peaceful and loose as the tribes in Cuba and Haiti. Instead, under the long-term raids and intrusions of the Caribbean tribes in the east, they have gradually formed a "courageous tribal alliance" that has been passed down from generation to generation! And this
The leader of the alliance is known as Agueybana, the "Great Sun", and he is also the only "god descendant" among the Taino tribes.
"Witness the Lord God! As long as there is long-term war pressure and the urgent need to gather more warriors, tribal alliances will appear under the pressure of reality... And when the number of tribal alliances is large enough, it will last longer and the pressure of war will
Become bigger, and the tribal gods who have upgraded from outstanding and prestigious warriors will slowly appear and be passed down!…”
Further east from Brave Island, the series of small islands occupied by the Caribbean people are called "Caribbean Islands" by the Taino tribe. Of these Caribbean islands and tribes thousands of miles away, the chief priest of Tomat only has
From what I heard, there was no real contact with the Kingdom's fleet, and it was actually beyond our reach.
"Phew! In the past three years, I have been busy day and night, wholeheartedly preaching in Cuba, converting and guiding the Taino tribes... At present, there are about 50,000 to 60,000 Taino tribes in the hands of the kingdom as 'direct jurisdiction', mainly concentrated in
Along the Snakehead coast of eastern Cuba!”
In the stone main temple, the chief priest Tomat unfolded a roll of rough bark paper and carefully looked at the map of Cuba that had been drawn for three years and the densely populated names of large tribes on it. His fingers moved east and west in Tielwan Town, outlining the
Seven to eight hundred miles of coast, these are the Taíno tribes under the direct control of the kingdom.
The so-called standard for a tribe under direct jurisdiction is to completely convert to the main god, station the kingdom's warriors, and train the tribal militia! In fact, when the demon fleet arrived this time, it was the first time the demon's fleet landed in the fishing bay, which was gradually included in the kingdom.
Directly governed Taíno tribe.
"God bless you! The kingdom's power in Cuba consists of approximately four to five hundred warriors and sailors from the headquarters, as well as more than 3,000 Tiewan town tribesmen who have intermarryed with the headquarters. And with such a small number of people, it can directly control 50,000 to 60,000 people.
The Taino tribe has roughly trained two to three thousand Taino militiamen in each tribe, which is almost unimaginable in the Mexica Plateau! The peaceful and docile Taino people in Cuba are simply like the most delicious black persimmons on the tree.
First monkey comes first..."

The Nuo tribes were never slaves who were plundered and enslaved... They are the people blessed by the Lord God, and they are the first line of glue people in the archipelago that we lost thousands of years ago! They will definitely reunite with us and reshape the world's seven lines of glue people.
!…”
Priest Tomat whispered to himself, re-elaborating the Kingdom's political program in Cuba, "Convert and assimilate the Taíno tribe and join the big family of plastic people." Then, he drew a larger circle with his finger, encompassing the entire
The eastern snakehead of the big island of Cuba, a quarter of the three thousand miles big island!
"Praise the Lord God! The 'vassal' tribes who were influenced by the kingdom's priests, added the Lord God's card among the gods, and accepted the kingdom's decision on disputes, are spread throughout eastern Cuba, estimated to number between ten and two hundred thousand people...the reason why these tribes are not included in the direct
, not because the chiefs and leaders would pull out tribal warriors to resist... In fact, before the Kingdom's fleet arrived, there were no warriors in the Taino tribe of Cuba, only hunters... It was just because the Kingdom's headquarters in Cuba was too limited, so there were no
How to send samurai to take deep control!…”
Priest Tomat shook his head slightly and continued to expand the trajectory traced by his finger until it included the entire island of Cuba and half of the island of Haiti on the west side.
"On the island of Cuba, which is three thousand miles away, there are estimated to be about 700,000 Taíno tribes... plus six to seven hundred miles to the west of Haiti, there are at least two hundred thousand tribes... These are the 'trade' tribes of the kingdom's fleet! They know the Lord God's
Name, knows the prophecy of the white-skinned demon, and once sent a boat to the port of Tielwan Town for trade... And the Taino tribe in this area is also the tribe that I specially sent an envoy to invite to participate in the main god ceremony!..."
In short, "direct", "vassal", and "trade", these three expanding circles represent the kingdom's operations in the Caribbean and the extension of the kingdom's power and belief in the main god! The tribes directly under it are completely
After converting, they can obey the kingdom's command and provide militia and supplies. The vassal tribes have just converted, accept the influence of the kingdom's arbitration, and can provide some food support. As for the trading tribes, in the trade center of Tiewan Town, through the kingdom
The leading "gem trade" and "iron trade" provide the kingdom with properties and goods in disguise. The structural design of these three circles and this strategic idea for running Cuba are also derived from the original militia of Chihuaco.
The proposal was summed up by the practice of Priest Thomas!
"In a large circle of four thousand miles, from Cuba to Haiti, there are millions of Taíno tribes! At least one million potential believers of the Lord!!..."
Seeing this magnificent circle and imagining the millions of Tainos within this range, Tomat's heart surged, and his eyes showed a bright look! It was a burning desire to preach that almost made him burn!
"O Lord God! Among the tribes in the entire known world, whether they are the tribes on the plateau, the tribes on the coast, the tribes in the clouds, the Mayan tribes, even the canine descendants of the wilderness, including the various hunting tribes in the northern continent... there is only peace.
The docile, honest and simple Taino people are the tribe that is easiest to convert and incorporate into the faith of the Lord God! Only they who cultivate cassava can provide such millions of people of the Lord God!…”
"Ah, one million Tainos! One million descendants of the Jiao people who can be converted, people of the Lord God!... If they can completely convert the Taino tribes and control this four thousand mile circle... then it will be enough to establish a religious province.
Support a fifth-level sect chief priest, several fourth-level chief priests, and dozens of third-level chief priests!…”
"And when that time comes, I, Tomat, will not only become the first patriarch of Cuba, but will be forever engraved in the main god's canon... I will even be posthumously named a saint under the main god for my achievements in opening up the Eastern Islands and resisting the invasion of evil spirits.
…I can also officially establish the Chief Priesthood of Cuba, completely develop a line of priests in the Eastern Islands, and benefit my disciples!…”
