The mountain city is high and surrounded by bronze armor. The mountain wind blows the foreheads of the kings, and the scorching sun shines on their faces, bringing the blazing and chilling feeling of late summer and early autumn.
Shulot's eyes were clear, and he met Avitt's eyes. He was silent, feeling the flaming will and determination in the king's eyes. After a long time, he nodded heavily, knelt down on one knee, and sighed.
Make a promise.
"Dear King, I obey your royal order! I will capture White Snake Qiu City and besiege Yun She Mountain City until the descendants of our old enemy Yun She are cut off from the world! No matter how long it takes..."
"good very good!"
Seeing Shulot's obedient attitude, Avitt nodded with satisfaction. He stretched out his palm, held Shulot's hair, and rubbed his forehead gently.
"Xulot, my son-in-law. Half of the main royal forces on the north road have been evacuated. Within half a month, I will take the last two royal legions back to the capital city in the lake. Then, I will summon the new high priest group
, hold a grand ceremony for the victory of the Eastern Expedition!...As for the remaining mountain tribes in the four states of Tlaxcala, I will leave them to you to pacify them!"
When mentioning the high priests, the king paused slightly and used the word "summon". Shulot had no time to think about it, he just looked solemn and repeated in his mind.
"The Grand Ceremony of Victory in the Eastern Expedition?!"
The boundless mountain of corpses and the sea of blood seemed to be spreading out, and Shulot could smell the blood at the end of his nose. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and spoke out a warning.
"Father-in-law, I heard that there will be 36,000 sacrifices in the Eastern Expedition Ceremony. Among them are 6,000 descendants of the Cloud Snake God and 30,000 men from various tribes!... The descendants of the Cloud Snake God are the favorite sacrifices of the Lord God, and they are also
The most stubborn enemy of the alliance should indeed be completely eradicated in order to stabilize the alliance's conquest!... However, perhaps, the number of sacrifices of ordinary men can be slightly reduced..."
"Um?"
Avitt's eyes were sharp, and he heard the sound. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle, which made people dare not look directly. For an instant, there was silence on the hill. After a while, Avitt looked at Shulot calmly.
With a dull face, he opened his mouth and scolded in a deep voice.
"Xulot, I heard about your sacrifice in the holy city of Cholula before, and I thought you would change... You have to know that what the Mexica Alliance needs most now is a consolation.
People's hearts, suppress the great festival of the four directions!"
"...The construction of the great temple has been completed, and sacrifices to the gods are needed! The immortal elders are going to the kingdom of God, and sacrifices are needed! The respected high priest was murdered by Cholula City, and revenge and sacrifices are needed! Returned from the Eastern Expedition victoriously
, a victory sacrifice is needed! And the alliance’s autumn harvest has just been completed, so a harvest sacrifice is also needed!..."
"With so many sacrifices added together, a mere thirty thousand captured Dingkou are all humble Tlaxcala prisoners, so what does it matter?!"
"Yes...respected teacher, follow your teachings!"
Hearing this, Shulot lowered his head slightly and did not show any resistance at this time. The reason why he spoke out was to follow his inner principles and not to compete with the king. A true king will naturally follow the rules of his heart.
Act according to your own will, just pay attention to your strategy...
The young king pondered for a while, then reorganized his words and spoke to the mature king.
"Teacher, I heard that when the four kingdoms are pacified, my brother-in-law Chimalpili will be entrusted here and succeed to the throne of Cloud Snake God?..."
The enfeoffment of the four kingdoms involves the transfer of many nobles, which is very involved, and there will definitely be news. As a branch of the royal family and the heir to the alliance, it is not surprising that Shulot can get the news in advance. And in this case
In fact, Avitt was calm and had nothing to hide.
"That's true! The four eastern Tlaxcala states, except for these two snake cities, were basically completely conquered. According to the alliance's practice, the prince should be ennobled and succeeded to the throne of the Cloud Snake God! And after thinking about it, little Chimalpi
Although Lee is still young, he is a suitable candidate."
"Teacher, if you want to seize a foreign country and stabilize it, you need enough Dingkou tribes. In this case, why not give these 30,000 Dingkou to Chimalpili? With these Dingkou, he can support two thousand more
The status of warriors among the four kingdoms will also be much more stable!"
"Huh? Give 30,000 Dingkou to little Chimalpili?"
Hearing his son-in-law's suggestion, Avitt's face showed surprise for the first time. He was not surprised by the suggestion itself. In fact, the female snake Gillim had also made a similar suggestion to him. What really surprised the king was that
Such advice actually came from my son-in-law!
"Well... Xiulote is the eldest brother, and Chimalpilly is the brother-in-law... brothers and sisters, just like the eldest brother Asia Catal and I..."
Avitt lowered his eyes and recalled some long-ago scenes. His heart warmed a little, and his eyes softened a little. After a while, the supreme king said calmly with a smile on his face.
"Xulot, your suggestion also has merit. I will seriously consider it... As for little Chimalpili, it will take two years to truly be sealed in the east. During these two years, the royal family will be directly under the
The area of the lake area needs to be further expanded, and the fiefdoms of the great nobles within two hundred miles of the capital must be transferred one after another..."
"This newly acquired land from the four kingdoms will be mainly used to house the great nobles of the alliance. At the same time, they will move the Dingkou they control and gradually absorb the Tlaxcala tribe! The tigers of the Mexica will make their home in the fertile valley in the east.
.And little Chimalpili is the titular Tiger King!"
Having said this, Avitt thought for a moment and then continued to add.
"Of course, little Montezuma has completed five years of priestly studies and became a priest of the main god. He is the eldest son of the eldest brother Asia Cattell. He is over twenty years old and is also supported by many nobles... During his lifetime, the eldest brother
He is very kind to me, and little Montezuma is also brave and intelligent. In the near future, when I have wiped out the Mixtecs in the south, I will entrust him with all the valleys and mountains and forests three hundred miles south!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Destroy the Mixtecs and entrust Moctezuma II?"
Hearing this, Hulot was a little surprised. But after he thought about it, it was reasonable. According to the closeness of the royal family, Moctezuma II was indeed a very close nephew of the king, and he inherited the ancestor Asaya.
The political legacy of the cartels.
"Haha! The original gods combined themselves and gave birth to four main gods. The white cloud snake in the east, the black wolf with red tongue in the west, the dark green hummingbird in the south, and the black night wind in the north, and the world was created!"
At the foot of Yunshe City, Avitt was in high spirits, looking at the high sky and singing ancient sacrificial poems. His ambition was like that of the original god, to re-divide the four fields and dominate the world!
"The direct control of the royal family is the Mexica Valley, which is located in the middle of the world! And you, Xiulote, sit in the land of the lake in the west, little Chimalpili sits in the land of the four states in the east, and little Montezuma sits in the mountains and forests in the south...
.And when little Xiuhua grows up, he can sit on either the northern plateau or the eastern seaside. As for the other branches of the royal family, they will also entrust distant lands one by one and occupy all the fertile land..."
Listening to the king's grand plan, Shulot lowered his head and pursed his lips. Thousands of thoughts were ups and downs in his mind, just like he was witnessing King Zong Zhou Cheng who opened up China and granted vassals to the princes.
In this era of geographical isolation and no gallops, before the spread of horses and clippers, the distance of direct rule was always very limited. There was no soil for the birth of the highly centralized Mesoamerican empire. Therefore, in the most majestic Avit
In imagination, it is to unify the whole world and divide the world!
"Three thousand miles from north to south and two thousand miles from east to west, the kings of the Mexica royal family will be enfeoffed!... In this way, in a few decades, the entire world will be owned by the Mexica royal family and slowly become one
! And I, Avitsotl, will personally cut off the descendants of the gods in the world, unite all tribes and tribes, and no longer be the big talker of the alliance, but will be the ancestor of all kings and the king of all kings!"
The heroic declaration sounded in front of the ancestral land of the Tlaxcala people and floated high into the clouds. King Avit spread his arms and looked up at the sky, like a divine bird flying to the nine heavens and turning into the sun! Shura
Te bowed his head slightly and stood beside the king, like the wings of a divine bird, calm and powerful.
"What does it look like above the nine heavens?"
Avitt, who held his head high, didn't know the answer. He just made up his mind to turn into a burning firebird and fly to the highest place! Shulot, who lowered his head, knew the answer. He climbed the mountain patiently, waiting for the top of the mountain to be inserted into the clouds.
