Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty: Navigation Factions and Political Games
"Four newly divided coastal archdioceses, four permanent archpriests?"
"That's right! To the west of the West Sea, with the middle section of the Shenqi Island chain as the dividing line, as the front line of communication between the tribes of the Far West Sea, the Archdiocese of the Far West Sea is established!... This archdiocese is under the responsibility of the pioneering Archpriest Zuvalo.
The acquisition of craftsmanship skills from the Kansai Sea Continent will not change easily!…”
"To the east of the West Sea, from the Shengaoshan Port in the middle of the Shenqi Island chain to the northernmost Whale Port on the north coast, with the horse-breeding Whale Island as the core, the Archdiocese of the Far North Sea is established!... This archdiocese includes at least nine
The thousand-mile coast consists of about ten ports, and you, the teacher, the chief priest of Chimel are responsible for the overall situation! ... And the astonishing 20,000 kilograms of gold storage entrusted to you by your majesty is also up to you to decide and control! ..."
"Um…"
The manpower of Big Whale Island is limited, with only four to five hundred people in total. The temple of the main god is the only stone building on the island, and it is not tall and broad. It only has a main hall with a statue of the god, where the tribes on the island can kowtow and pay respect.
For praying and worshiping, there is a candlelit side hall for the priests to prepare divine services and rest.
At this moment, Chief Priest Chimel and Chief Priest Lathander were having a meeting in the side hall. Chimel stood up, walked to the shrine, and lit a whale oil candle. And where he stood, the seemingly ordinary
The mud is where the kingdom's gold storehouse is. As long as you dig up half a meter here, half a cubic meter of dazzling golden light will be revealed! This is a storehouse of 20,000 kilograms of gold, a full ten tons!…
"God bless you! Your Majesty has put this gold treasure that has exhausted the kingdom into my hands... I guess the priests and elders of the priesthood and the great nobles of the kingdom have coveted it! It's just that the gold is in their hands.
It really doesn’t serve any purpose, it’s just for building temples and having fun…”
"This gold hoard is actually the final preparation His Majesty made just in case!... No matter what happens, even if he encounters an unexpected event, the Kingdom and the Alliance fight, and the Northern Route has no support at all... With this 20,000
Even with kilograms of gold, the established northern missionary territory can still communicate with the tribes in the West Sea, and can still exchange craftsman skills from across the West Sea, and exchange supplies from the kingdoms in the south!…”
"This gold hoard is His Majesty's greatest investment and support for the Northern Route!..."
Chimel said all this quietly, with deep emotion in his heart. Among the many priests of the kingdom in the north, perhaps he was the only one who often accompanied Lott, and he was the only one who could truly understand the importance of opening up the northern sea route! And Xiu
Lot's emphasis on this route is indeed sparing no effort. It is indeed full of prophetic foresight and has long-term strategic plans. Only Chimel is fully aware of these top strategic plans... Thinking about it this way, among the priests in the north,
, and who is more suitable to take on the great responsibility of chief priest than him?
"This is really...for the enlightenment of the Lord God and His Majesty, and for the future of the kingdom and the world, it is an unavoidable responsibility!..."
Chimel sighed, holding the whale oil candle in his hand, and sat back on the table again. Lathander unfolded a rough map of the coast and stretched out his hand to draw a long straight line on it.
"The Lord God testifies! In the northern mission area, there are the most converted tribes, the largest port, the most cultivated fields, and the most mild climate... It is the five thousand miles of the west coast of the northern continent!..."
“Going south from Whale Harbor, from Beigang at the mouth of the river to Beidiaoshi Village, which is rich in struvite, with the most prosperous Xishan Port as the core, the West Coast Archdiocese will be established!…”
"This archdiocese includes the entire west coast, including Beigang, Nangang, Huwan Port, Xishan Port, Black Snake Port, Sanshan Port, and Beidiaoshi Village, a total of seven kingdom ports!..."
"Except for the arid Beidiaoshi Village, the tribal population in every remaining port exceeds a thousand people! Among them, Beigang and Black Snake Port already have two thousand tribes. And the Kingdom's Xishan Port has three thousand people
Large population! There are also tens of thousands of Miwok tribes that have converted to enfeoffment, which can produce food, minerals and large trees!…”
With some excitement, Luosanda stretched out his hand in the middle of the west coast. It was Xishan Port in the Golden Bay, which is hundreds of miles away. This kingdom port with an excellent location and extremely convenient waterways has surpassed Leijin Town and become the largest port in the northern continent.
The largest port!
Around Xishan Port, tens of thousands of Miwok tribes who have converted to the main god have accepted the canonization of the kingdom. Under the guidance of the kingdom's priests, they cultivate fields, build canals, cut trees and build houses, and dig ore... The tribes are gradually integrating into the kingdom, and
It has been religiously and economically integrated with Xishan Port! The existence of these converted tribes and the rapid increase in agricultural productivity are the foundation for the prosperity of Xishan Port!
"Teacher Chimel! This time we went north and brought the respected vice-president of the Navigation Academy, Cedar Shaman, back to the Miwok tribes... Cedar Shaman met with the leaders of each tribe and talked for two days and two nights... The Kingdom's canonization
Ling will also arrive together and will confer thirteen hereditary nobles among the converted Miwok tribes... And the most powerful Beiwan tribe will also have a place for honorary nobles..."
"This quota was originally intended for Cedar Shaman... but Cedar Shaman said that he was getting old and wanted to go to sea, so he refused... Finally, there was the new chief of the Beiwan Department, who once served as captain of the Kingdom's fleet.
Through the guidance of an interpreter, the bear-hunting warrior Le Feng wore the kingdom's noble eagle crown..."
Speaking of this, Lathander couldn't help but sigh. Cedar Shaman provided guides and translation books to help the initial kingdom fleet explore. Later, he went to the kingdom in person and single-handedly facilitated the conversion and conversion of the Miwok tribes.
Included... This precise vision and decisive decision made the Miwok tribe the first large ethnic group on the northern continent to actively integrate into the kingdom, and they received amazing rewards!
With such achievements and the support of tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand Miwok tribe, Cedar Shaman can even establish a fiefdom in the Golden Bay and become the first Miwok prince... That is completely possible! But the other party
The final choice was to give up the position of prince and the Miwok kingdom... and invited the chiefs of each tribe to be ennobled with nobles, so that each tribe could be completely integrated into the kingdom's system...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This decisive and sacred political choice, this tribal example on the northern continent... There is no doubt that in the future Lord God's "The Lives of the Saints",
There must be a place for cedar shamans!… It’s really enviable, but also admirable from the bottom of one’s heart!…”
"It is said that Cedar Shaman will board the exploration fleet to explore the southern continent and spread the glory of the Lord God... Compared with him, the priests and elders of many kingdoms are not even a little bit worse! They are not even willing to give Cedar Shaman
A formal 'chief priest' position was given to a 'vice-president of the Navigation Academy' who was 'equivalent to a fourth-level chief priest'... This is really..."
The chief priest of Lathander sighed, obviously dissatisfied with the kingdom's priests and elders.
Chief Priest Chimel blinked and tasted something. As the rare chief priest of Tekos in the kingdom, Lathander was among the priests of the kingdom and among a group of high-ranking priests from Mexico and Prepecha.
I'm afraid I am also isolated and marginalized in some way.
For example, this time, let Lathander lead the support fleet going north, brave the dangers of storms and big waves, and sail to the extreme north coast, or even the West Sea Continent... This kind of arrangement has opportunities, but the risks are greater, and the considerations in it,
It's worth pondering. In any case, this is not a quick way to promotion, nor can it be regarded as the key to cultivating the backbone of priests.
But no matter what, with the close contact between the tribes of Colima and the kingdom, with the integration of the tribes of Nantecos into the kingdom, and with the Great Lakes Governor Kuruka, he conquered the entire land of North Tekos...at least four or five
The inclusion of the 100,000 North and South Tekos tribes into the kingdom will inevitably have a more important political status on the political stage of the kingdom! As for the Tekos chief priest Lathander in front of us, as long as he can make achievements in the navigation and colonization of the north, then
As a representative of the Tekos tribes, his future prospects are actually unlimited...
Chimel pondered for a moment and saw clearly the political struggle behind this and the possible prospects. After all, he had stood beside His Majesty and had seen the highest level of political games, and his vision was higher than that of ordinary people.
There were a lot of things. At the moment, facing the respectfully serving Priest of Lathander, he didn't have any airs, and that wasn't his character either.
"Lathander, the position of the High Priest of the West Coast is so important... It seems that the Chief Priest of the Kingdom, Mikey the Knowledger, should be in charge, right?..."
"Yes! Teacher, Archpriest Mikey is in charge of the West Coast Archdiocese, which has two chief priests, Ke Yuan and Ke Jie, as well as second-level and first-level priests in each port. However, in this position, Chief Priest Mikey probably only
Will stay for a few years... The "Epic of Divine Inspiration" he submitted to the kingdom's priests has been sung throughout the kingdom. And within the priests, he also has the respect and support of several Prepecha priests and elders. These supports,
Even when he was first selected to go to sea, he always had it..."
"As long as there is any vacancy among the twelve priests and elders... Chief Priest Mickey will definitely be transferred back to the kingdom to fill the vacant position and become the youngest priests and elders in the kingdom's group of priests and elders!..."
