Chapter 1,360 Your Majesty is wrong! Bullfrogs cannot be boiled in warm water!
"Witness the Lord God! Apart from the belief in gods, the deterrence of violence is almost the fastest way to establish order. And when the existing violent order is in operation, subsequent members who join, whether they are the perpetrators of violence or the persons being executed
, everyone will have to participate in it, making the chain of violence more stable. Because it is always difficult for loose individuals to resist the group. People's hearts want, even a peerless warrior like Totec, still cannot resist the general trend, and can only choose to commit suicide...
"
"Therefore, what can threaten the existing ruling order is always another order. And the initial form of order is the consensus of the people. This is the most dangerous ant nest, which can cause the initial collapse of the dam! Therefore, if someone can
Among a group of people, bypassing the threat of violence in the kingdom and establishing a consensus among the people... Then he is the biggest threat to the kingdom, and he is a person who must be given priority and resolved!..."
"God bless you! Black Wolf, my most trusted general, you must remember my words: No matter what kind of short-term oppression the violence of the kingdom brings, as long as a stable order can be established and the Mayan tribes can settle down, then the various tribes will
The tribal people will slowly choose to accept it! This kind of stability is an expectation for the future, and when it comes to action, it is stable spring plowing and autumn harvest, which is above all else! With food, people's hearts will be settled. Those who have food in stock will
People, tribes that can survive, usually will not rise up to resist and fight to the death..."
"While ensuring farming, what you need to be most wary of is the Mayan gods and priests! Because only they can gather the traditional consensus of the Mayan tribe and stir up a group of people to threaten the order of the kingdom! Sometimes,
The weapon of criticism cannot replace the weapon of criticism. And the reconstruction of order is never about treating guests to dinner! If more blood is shed from the upper class, fewer lives from the lower class will be lost..."
There is no winter in the tropical Maya, only the warm autumn of December and ever-blooming flowers. The black wolf Toltec sat cross-legged under the flower tree, with a jar of scented tea next to him and a long letter in his hand. Whether it was tea or
The letters were all sent by Shulot from the army in the southern expedition. The "letter" is instruction, and the "tea" is a warning, telling him to be less murderous, drink less, think more, and put things in perspective.
See more clearly.
"Niu Lang! Come here and make me another pot of tea!..."
“…”
The stocky prairie warrior Niu Lang muttered, holding a boiling copper kettle, and lowered his head to fill Black Wolf with water. In just a few days, he had carved the emblem of the Lord God on his forehead, and his demeanor became much more honest.
, as if he had changed a person. And his current identity is indeed different from before. He has become Black Wolf's personal guard, leading a small team, and can be regarded as a grassroots officer or the leader of a tribe.
.
Throughout Port Ekab, the five hundred newly arrived barbarians have been scattered everywhere. They put on leather armor, picked up spears and axes, and passively integrated into the "violent battle" under the command of the kingdom's warriors.
's ruling order"!
These grassland barbarians do not have any common language with the Mayan tribes. They do not even understand their own language, let alone the connection between ancestors and beliefs. Naturally, they cannot be bribed at all and will only follow the existing order of the kingdom. And among the local Mayan tribes
In the eyes, there is no doubt that they are an integral part of the kingdom's military force, ferocious and powerful "plateau barbarians" who suppress the city-state!
"Witness the Lord God! With the kingdom's force, it is not difficult to conquer the Mayan tribes. But the real difficulty is the maintenance of the conquest and the assimilation of the Mayan tribes... When the kingdom occupies a city-state, it needs to think carefully. Who
Will they really support us? Who will support us for a long time? Who can benefit from our rule and who can maintain it?…"
"Order needs to be continuously deepened, and a big tree cannot grow overnight... First win over the cooperative Mayan nobles, and deal with the rebellious nobles. Then win over the believers who are willing to convert, and deal with the believers who are unwilling to convert. After these determinations, differentiation
, in the process of solving the enemy, the wealth and land are distributed from the upper level to the lower level to cultivate the initial basic base. The same is true for preaching, cultivating devout believers and digging up the roots of the old forces!…”
"The rule of the kingdom must be deepened, and the struggle must not stop! After having a basic foundation at the bottom, we can go one step further and attack the Mayan nobles who did not resist at first, but have too much power and influence. Because they are just afraid of the kingdom.
Force, forced to accept compromise, rather than no resistance. They are a hidden danger to rule, able to unite the consensus of the Mayans and set off a storm that disintegrates order..."
"So, when the time is right, separate a group of enemies who 'disrespect the Lord God, destroy order, and oppress the tribe' and continue to deal with them! Continue to distribute the benefits they occupy to some of the lower classes to obtain more basic rights of the kingdom.
The plan. Keep advancing in this way...Don't identify too many enemies at once, and don't be timid! The ability to be proportionate is the skill you lack most, Black Wolf. Boil the bullfrog in warm water, and the bullfrog will not jump out of the pot...
"
"Measurement? Heat? Boil the bullfrog in warm water?"
Hei Lang put down the letter, frowning and thinking hard. However, although the theory is difficult to understand, he is a good practitioner and always does what he says!
"Niu Lang! Niu Lang!..."
"..."
"You go out and catch some bullfrogs from the surrounding ponds! The kind that croak!..."
"...?"
"Go! Catch them and throw them into the pot to cook! I want to see if they can jump over the pot!..."
"..."
The grassland warrior Niu Lang was speechless for a moment, but turned around and left the yard. When he came back, he already had a basket of bullfrogs in his hand. For the grassland tribes, hunting small prey is the main source of food. His hunting
The craftsmanship is indeed reliable. The origin of bullfrogs is from southern North America to Central America, and it is also one of the small prey often eaten by various tribes.
"Huh? Your Majesty is right, the water is steaming. This bullfrog really didn't...ah! It jumped! It jumped out!..."
Facts have proved that the saying written by His Majesty is not true. When the water temperature reached a certain level, the bullfrog felt danger, let out a "croak" and jumped out decisively. However, it finally jumped out of the pot and had not had time to escape.
Then the prairie warrior Niu Lang stabbed him with a short spear, stabbing him accurately to the point of death!
"puff!…"
The brave bull wolf crossed his arms over the bullfrog and looked up at the leader of the black wolf, waiting for the next instruction. The black wolf blinked and looked at the empty pottery pot, obviously still a little dazed.
"Your Majesty is wrong! How can a bullfrog be so stupid? Since bullfrogs know how to run...then these Mayan nobles will not be so stupid! They will definitely be able to jump before the water boils!..."
"So, we still have to strike hard first! Break the city-state, clean up the villages, and convert the believers... The first three axes will clean them up! Then there will be nothing more to come! Even if there is a little left, it won't be a big problem...
"
"Hmm... As for cultivating the basic base, His Majesty's method is too slow!... Just let the Mayan warriors submit their names and eat the Mayan descendants! Let the low-level believers offend the tradition and sleep with the female relatives of the descendants of the gods! And recruit more grassland barbarians.
Come here and marry the local women! This leaves them with no way out, and they can only stick to the kingdom!…”
"Haha! I, the black wolf Toltec, is indeed the smartest legion commander!..."
The black wolf Toltec was proud of himself, grinning innocently, like a well-fed beast. The warrior bull wolf squatted next to him, roasting fresh bullfrog on the fire for making tea. He took a bite after roasting it
After thinking for a while, he tore off the two fattest frog legs and carefully handed them to the black wolf.
"Boss, eat!"
"Huh? The taste of this bullfrog is really good! Your Majesty likes to cook it slowly, but I still like to roast it over a high fire! After all, His Majesty often said that the white-skinned evil demon is coming soon, and that is the real powerful opponent! ...I don't have it.
That kind of patience, and the Maya walking slowly through the forest, fighting such boring and bad battles..."
Black Wolf devoured the bullfrog and read the rest of the instructions in the letter. These instructions from the king were mainly to point out his ideas and prevent him from getting confused. As for how to act specifically, he was confident enough that no one could do it better than him.
Fighting, no one knows better than him!
"Blessed by the Lord God! As I said before, the efficiency of communication determines the boundaries of rule. As for the kingdom, where is the boundary of Maya? It is the coast deep into the inland, up to two hundred miles, usually a hundred miles is enough
!…”
"The vast forest sea of the Maya, like the last blessing of the Mayan gods, is by no means an easy barrier to break through! ...Don't go deep into the jungle. Even if you are also good at jungle warfare, you must still be in awe of the jungle! Because, deep in the jungle
, rule does not rely on force, communication is difficult and long. Even if you defeat it, you will often not be able to stand..."
"Before disintegrating the faith and order of the Maya clan, and before being able to completely influence the hearts and minds of the people at the bottom, the cost of dealing with jungle guerrilla warfare is a price that the kingdom absolutely cannot bear! ... Therefore, we always need the banner of the Mayapan royal family to fight against the inland gods.
To establish a banner or a puppet vassal. And to truly establish a long-term kingdom rule in the Mayan jungle with a radius of thousands of miles..."
"Witness the Lord God! It will take a long time for assimilation... Or, a dangerous anomaly, but an opportunity that will inevitably come, will turn the entire jungle upside down!... And this opportunity I can see is brought by the white-skinned evil demon
The terrible plague that came, the doomsday evil disaster that made countless tribes mourn and die!..."
"If before the evil disaster arrives, we can obtain the anti-epidemic medical skills of the West Sea...or after the evil disaster arrives, the kingdom can follow the divine revelation and discover an effective method of rescue...using the human lives spread time and time again, we can summarize the response and cure
The herbal medicine used to weaken the disease can produce a 'weakly poisonous' human pox that can be planted..."
"Only then! When the priests of the kingdom arrive with life-saving miracles, can they truly and completely conquer the hearts of the tribes and bring the vast Mayan jungle, thousands of miles away, and even the vast north-south continent... into the embrace of the Lord God!..."
Seeing this last paragraph, which was like a prophecy, Black Wolf Toltec froze in place, his mind fluctuating violently! He gasped with some trembling, imagining the horror of the doomsday evil disaster, the kind of evil that cannot be resisted by force!
After a long time, he took a deep breath, looked at the eastern sky, and asked the gods piously.
"Supreme Lord God! How many plague spells have the demons from across the East China Sea mastered? Where have they gone, and where are they hiding now?..."
