Chapter 765: Alliance Political Situation, Successors Oath!
There was silence in the big tent, and even the wind died down. Only the king's anger, like a suppressed thundercloud, revealed a deep and terrifying power. This silence lasted for a long time, and the captain of the guard Eckart lowered his voice.
He nodded and whispered softly.
"Master, please calm down! These two rumors must be someone... deliberately trying to instigate a relationship between you and the king..."
"I know."
Shulot was expressionless and nodded slowly. The anger on his face subsided slightly, but the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.
"The first rumor is to belittle the royal power of the central government, belittle King Avitt, and secretly sow discord between Avitt and me. The second rumor is even more sinister. It is to create discord between Avitt and me.
The hidden contradiction between the kingdom in the lake and the royal family is exposed in front of everyone in the form of prophecy!..."
Having said this, Shulot gritted his teeth and felt angry in his heart.
If the first rumor is just based on rumors and creating some rumors, then the second rumor is blatantly promoting the idea of a day in the future. This kind of hidden contradiction was originally limited to the upper echelons of the alliance and could be reconciled through political means.
.And now the purpose of the communicator is to cause a conflict between him and Avitt, and even to cause a civil war in the alliance!
"They are so cruel! They are creating rumors and sowing dissension...these damn alliance nobles!"
Shulot put aside his anger, thought for a moment, and pinned the origin of the rumor on the great nobles of the alliance. The captain of the guard next to him, Eckart, opened his mouth when he heard the words, wanting to say something. But he saw His Highness's face.
He looked angry and did not speak for the time being.
"The Lord God witnesses! It seems that the blood of reform has not been shed enough..."
Hulot whispered to himself in a low voice, full of murderous intent. He knew clearly that these rumors damaged the authority of the king and created a confrontation between the two kings. Even if Gillim, the chief intelligence officer, wanted to suppress the kingdom, he would never
He would use such a method to hurt others and himself! Once these rumors take effect, those who benefit from them will definitely be the great nobles of the alliance states!
King Avit strictly centralized power, demanded city-state warriors, collected fiefdom tributes, and interfered with noble succession. This was step by step to weaken the military, financial and judicial power of the alliance's great nobles! At the same time, the king also took money from the bottom of the pot and carried out large-scale transfer of enfeoffments.
The powerful nobles moved to the newly established feudal states, dividing the large and small nobles in the local city-states, and collapsing the resistance of the nobles!...
After these two sets of combined punches, the alliance's nobles were stunned and vomited three liters of blood. Their interests were greatly weakened, and their strength was also seriously damaged in the battle.
In the Mexican Alliance that advocates force, the strongest King Avit has integrated the Texcoco Lake area and has 50,000 direct royal warriors! And the second strongest Prince Xiulote also has seven legions in his hands, five
The power of warriors from all kingdoms! As long as King Avit and Prince Shulot join forces, a hundred thousand warriors will be enough to suppress any rebellion in the world!
As for the Mexican nobles in the remaining eleven states, even if they were all put together and tried their best, they would only be able to gather 50,000 city-state warriors... And these nobles with different thoughts and loyalties would not be able to do it at all.
They may unite completely and fight to the death with the royal family. The only way they can resist the centralization of royal power and preserve their own interests is to destroy the alliance between the king and the prince and provoke the two kings to confront each other!
"Who is this cunning guy hiding behind? Or who are they?"
Shulot lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. In his mind, he carefully counted the powerful factions of each country in the alliance and thought about them one by one.
"In the traditional seven states of Mexico, the Yuyan family in Southwest Sun City is a branch of the royal family and has a succession dispute with Montezuma II. Mihoti, the leader of the Yuyan clan, is in the Eastern Expedition and should not cause any trouble.
..”
"The Shanluan family in Jinshan City in the west has been interfered with the inheritance rights. The old patriarch Tepeter nominally died at the hands of the Holy City family, and the new patriarch Yin Zeer is quite respectful to the king and me..."
"In Sourwood City in the northwest, the leader of the Sourwood clan, Yotiko, died in the Eastern Expedition, and the family was divided into four. The current leader of the army is the leader of the Spruce clan, Xochikalo. I don't know about it. But Avitt can make him take the position.
, naturally there is a tendency..."
"Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan in the Northern Xiajin City, has a strong character and is brave and good at fighting. But such a Machiavellian method, given his character... is at best a conspiracy..."
"Cintel, the leader of the Reed Clan in Northeast Reed City, has always been on good terms with the royal family. He has been at war with the Tlaxcala people for many years and has a rather courageous character, but he is also very cunning..."
"Moyahualuo, the leader of the Pan Python Clan in Southeast Gaoshan City, is stationed in Shuigu City. He is eager and a little greedy, but he probably doesn't have such big ambitions..."
"Hochicua, the leader of the Huashu clan in Salt Lake City in the south, is also in the Eastern Expedition. He is good at calculation and quite knowledgeable in finance. He is not like the traditional Mexica nobles..."
Shulot's mind wandered around the traditional nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. He had some vague suspicions, but he couldn't be sure.
After all, the great nobles of these alliances fought bloody battles for the gods and the alliance during the Western and Eastern Expeditions. If it were not for the centralization reforms implemented by the king, they would all be praised as "devout descendants of the main god, the alliance."
Loyal lord!"
"In addition to the traditional seven states, there are also four newly conquered states. More than 20 years ago, the first conquered state of Metztitlan was controlled by Metztika, the chief of the Prickly Pear Clan of Prickly Pear City. He was over 20 years old
Fifty, he has been guarding the north, guarding against dog descendants, and is very low-key. Prickly Pear City is more than 400 miles away from the royal capital, and has not been affected much by the centralization reform..."
"Nine years ago, the northern city of Xilotepec, also known as Suiqiu City, was captured by the alliance. It was guarded by Jaguar Ocerol, a branch of the royal family. As a nobleman born in the royal family, he has always been very cautious. Sitting in the north, he also
Do not participate in the political situation of the kingdom..."
"Six years ago, in the land of Tuskara that was captured by the Western Expedition, Akanbaro State enfeoffed Tepopolo, and the seat of the fiefdom was Longlanse. Tepopolo was not strong enough. Although he had ambitions, he was unable to display them.
.He moved closer to the king, and his fiefdom was far away, so his interests were very little damaged in the reform..."
"Also after the Western Expedition, Sitacuaro State enfeoffed the last moon Yinskali, and the fiefdom was located in Qixisai. Yinskali is a member of the royal family and has always been loyal to the king...this time
During the Eastern Expedition, he exerted all his strength and personally attacked Oak City..."
There was silence in the tent, and the sky was getting dark. The captain of the guard, Ekart, lit a bonfire and unfolded an alliance map, laying it out in front of His Highness.
Shulot looked at the map, the city-states of the alliance, and the names of the families, with an expression of indifference and concentration. Each of these independent local states were the targets of Avet's centralization of power, and they were the targets of the king's elimination.
This is also his goal!
"Unify the world, wipe out all the tribes, abolish feudalism, and establish counties and counties. Cars and cars follow the same track, books and texts are written in the same way, and actions are carried out in the same way... This is the great cause of the First Emperor!..."
Hulot murmured, with unshakable determination in his eyes. He saw that the Mexican Union, which was undergoing centralized reforms, was changing with each passing day. Year by year, it was rapidly moving from a loose alliance of independent city-states to a centralized kingdom at the center of the royal family!
In this process, from the immortal and ruthless elder, to the high priest without hesitation, to the ambitious king, countless gods and nobles have been killed, and the blood of many nobles has been shed! And the entire world of Central America has
, after nearly two thousand years of city-state era, it finally took a difficult step towards the path of a theocratic kingdom, or even a theocratic empire!
The bonfire shone, and the light and shadow changed in the brightness and extinction. The stars fell, and there seemed to be destiny in the sky. Shulot looked at the vast twinkling starry sky, trying to see the answer from the gods, but could not see anything. But the king's heart was at this moment.
Clarity. He has already answered all the questions.
"The Lord God and the ancestors witness! The great changes that have not happened in two thousand years are just in these few years. The world will be unified, and great achievements will be established. No matter who it is, no one can stop it!"
"If Avit is alive, I will take a step back and abide by the vow I made! But if he fails in the middle, I will take a step forward and let me continue the business!"
