Chapter 965 The Political Route of Kingdom Expansion, Three Stages of Mayan Conquest
"Heilang, Tupa, in the long-term political route of the kingdom, the management of the East China Sea is very important! From the prairie of the Koawek River in the north to the jungle coast of Vastyk; from the thousand-mile seashore of Totonac, To the coast of the Maya in the east; then to the Cuban Snake Island eight thousand miles away, and even further away to the islands of the Great Lakes... This vast area of more than ten thousand miles is the so-called East China Sea! And this passage connected by sea, It is the profit line for the expansion of the Kingdom of the East, and it is also the lifeline for the future of all the ministries in the world!..."
People are boating on the lake, the water reflects the mountains, and the mountains stand in the east. Shulot looked to the east, looking very far away, as if he wanted to see the end of the Caribbean Sea, those lush and rich islands.
The kingdom's political groups have expanded and dispersed to all parts of the Central American world. And as he returns to the capital in the lake, the authority of the Quartet Conquest will also be handed over to the generals. At this critical moment, he needs to tell everyone clearly and put forward the general political line of the kingdom, so as to unify everyone's ideas and goals under one clear banner! And the "flag" he chose is the "expansion" of the kingdom and the "unification" of the world!
"Kuluka the monkey sits on the Great Lakes of Chapala for me and goes to the lower reaches of the Leman River; Ezpan the miner swears for me the tribes of Colyma to pacify the coast of North Tecos; the old general Etalik controls the Tulsas River for me Downstream, to conquer the coast of Trapanic; Baramo, the poet, recruited for me the tribes of the wilderness, to take control of the upper wilderness, tributaries of the Tampen..."
Speaking of this, Shulot looked at the two generals, held the right hands of Hei Lang and Tupa, and solemnly entrusted them.
"Heilang, Tupa, the Lord God blesses you! I will hand over the conquest of the East China Sea to Bertard and you!"
"When the warrior captain Bertard captures the Cloud Snake Mountain City, he will lead 4,000 Imperial Guards, that is, half of the Imperial Guard Army, to Jinwan City. He will become the first Seaside Jiedu Envoy and form Totonak The Seashore Corps composed of warriors is also the first Commander of the Coastal Corps! Well, Tupa, you led the Artillery Battalion and served as the Deputy Commander of the Coastal Corps. Afterwards, the army will drive tens of thousands of Totonak tribe warriors who have surrendered, without stopping, Continue to conquer the Maya coast!"
"According to the map of the exploration fleet, the eastward expedition to the Mayan coast will be divided into three stages, namely the central Mayan coast, the lowland Mayan west coast, and the lowland Mayan east coast... I will only give the strategy for the first phase of the conquest, the central Mayan coast As for the remaining lowland Mayan coast, it depends on the specific situation, and it is up to Bertard and you to decide! …”
Xiulot unfolded the leather scroll map that he carried with him. It was densely packed with Mayan maps carefully drawn by him based on the memories of later generations and reports from the East China Sea Exploration Fleet. He stretched out his hand, first clicked on Xiayin Snake City, and then rowed eastward all the way to the Puton tribes on the southern side of the Yucatan Peninsula, drawing a circle at the Prairie City.
"The first stage is to flatten the central Mayan coast for more than a thousand miles, from the hidden snake city of the Totonac people to Chakamptum of the Puton tribe, the 'grand prairie city' in the Mayan population! Among them There are many small city-states and villages, including Honghu Town and Xia Village, but there are no particularly large city-states or tribal alliances... This also means that there is no powerful force that can resist the kingdom's army..."
"This vast central coast, large and small tribes along the way, has both the cultural characteristics of the Olmecs and Mayans, and some plateau culture brought by the Toltecs. They conquered the plateau The level of resistance should be much weaker than that of the ancient lowland Mayan tribes... and the Puton tribes, which are half hunting and half farming, called "barbarians" by the lowland Maya, can also be subdued and driven by the kingdom The tribal power going north!...The previous exploration fleet has already made a good start for the kingdom, and has established a good trade relationship with a powerful Puton tribe chief..."
Speaking of this, Shulot paused for a while. He looked at the two generals who were from his personal guards, and ordered solemnly.
"Black Wolf, Tupa, conquer the Mayan coast in the east. There are two main points! The first point is to constantly organize the servant army from the newly conquered areas to bear casualties, maintain logistics, and leave the town. Then, Through faith conversion, military merit conferring, and vanguard selection, gradually build a reliable local army from the conquered city-states and tribes, and from the surrendered servants..."
"Therefore, in the next step of the Eastern Conquest, the surrendered Totonac warriors should assume the responsibility of fighting the main force, and entrust them to the newly conquered territories! And the war on the Eastern Maya Coast, the expansion of the Eastern , is also the best way to digest and integrate the warriors from various ministries along the coast..."
"The first stage of conquest, until the initial acceptance, alliance, and even surrender of the Puton tribes. These semi-safari Puton tribes are a good source of servants! Those tens of thousands of tribes who are used to fighting Ding Zhuang, like the tribes in the wilderness, obeys the traditions of powerful tribes. If they can accept the call and drive of the kingdom, they will be the best help in conquering the lowland Maya!..."
"As for the second point of conquering the Mayan coast, it is to form a strong enough East China Sea Navy that can completely suppress the city-states along the coast, and even the Mayan emirates!"
"To maintain these thousands of miles of coast, to maintain the city-states and fortresses of various kingdoms, to supply the conquest of the front-line army...the land transportation along the jungle is definitely not enough!...We must have a strong East China Sea Navy! And in In the near future, this Eastern Sea Navy will encounter more difficult challenges and opportunities, those white-skinned enemies who came from the sea..."
Shulot stretched out his hand, patted Hei Lang's shoulder lightly, and comforted him with a smile.
"Therefore, if the head of the navy of Hidden Snake City can lead the fleet and shipbuilders to surrender, it will help strengthen the kingdom's navy... For the expansion of the kingdom, we need to forgive his guilt and accept his surrender! As for whether this person can be used, and to what extent... depends on whether he is smart, and whether he can walk on the same path as us!..."
"There are many heroes in the world, and there are also many heroes from various tribes! If you want to conquer the world, you must give these heroes from various tribes a chance to integrate into the kingdom, display their skills, and eat power cakes! Just like Guajili in the wasteland The tribes used to be our enemies and caused us a lot of trouble. But now, they are the sharpest blades in the hands of the kingdom, and they are also the pack of wolves that can bite the most!..."
"The Lord God testifies! Although I was born in the royal family of Mexica, I don't have any bias when looking at the tribes of the world. Heroes in the world, if they are willing to be used by me, walk with me, or even enter my pocket... I will treat them equally and treat them with They eat cakes together!... Heilang, Tupa, you need to do the same!"
"Because, the power that the kingdom can put on the seashore is actually limited. And more and more powerful forces need to be expanded by yourself! At this point, I will not restrict you at all, and expand and fight for me as much as you want. Wolves! . . . "
With this long-term planning and commitment, the eyes of Hei Lang and Tupa who spoke straight were shining, like a wolf hunting in the dark. And "Wolf King" Shulot shook the hair of the "wolves" with a smile, let go of the "rein" of restraint, and generously promised.
"As long as the first phase of the expedition to the Mayan coast is completed and the land of thousands of miles in the central Maya is under control, the warrior captain Bertard will be promoted to the Marshal of the East China Sea, the prince of the Bibi Alliance! And Tupa, you will take over the Seaside Legion and succeed the seashore Commander of the legion, preside over the military affairs of the coast of Totonac!..."
"Ah? Your Highness! I... I'm here to take over the Seaside Legion? Ah, this!"
Hearing this, the artillery battalion commander Tupa's young face was first filled with inconceivable surprise, then filled with joy and excitement, and then some panic appeared...
"The lord god bears witness! Your Highness, I am still young, and my qualifications are not deep enough... In the kingdom, there are still so many veterans..."
"Haha! Tupa, what's the matter? Don't you have the confidence to control the seaside army for me and manage the seaside well?"
"Ah! I have! Your Highness, I have confidence! I have been fighting for the past few years, and I am absolutely familiar with the situation on the seashore... As for the army of Totonak warriors, I am also confident that I can lead it well!..."
"Very well, the Lord God blesses you! As a young general, you should have such confidence and fighting spirit! Tupa, you were born as your own personal guard, and I have never had any doubts about your loyalty. Now I have chosen you, you If you have such ability, you must do it well for me!…”
Shulot was decisive and "appointed" by the artillery battalion commander Tupa. Then, he looked at Hei Lang, who looked calm and seemed to have expected it, a little surprise flashed across his face.
"Huh? My clever black wolf, you already guessed it?"
"Exactly!"
Hei Lang raised his head and replied confidently.
"Your Highness, I, the black wolf Toltek, is smarter than a bald Mayan without hair, and I have already guessed your mind!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows, and suddenly understood.
"It turned out to be you! The Mayan merchant Tikalo, you cunning old fox, told Hei Lang about this... I am afraid that Hei Lang is willing to accept the enemy's surrender because of you..."
Xiu Luote's thoughts turned, seeing through his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and rubbed Hei Lang's head affectionately.
"Okay! My general, my black wolf! You are so smart, you should have expected... The position I left for you is to go two thousand miles away, to lead the military administration of various states, and to become the Jiedu of the land of Maya Do it!..."
"Ah! What!! Two thousand miles away, may... Mayan Jiedushi?"
Black Wolf Toltek's confident expression froze in an instant. His stunned pupils dilate and his mouth opens like an incredible arctic bulldog, a ferocious big husky.
"Yes! Maya Jiedushi, the great chief who oversees the Mayan military affairs!"
Xiuluo nodded, his eyes became quiet. He opened his mouth quietly, his voice was calm and low, but there seemed to be boundless blood rushing toward his face.
"Blessed by the Lord God! To conquer the Mayan tribes with ancient inheritance, pious beliefs, inborn noble and humble, and solidified classes... It is always necessary to kill enough gods, sacrifice enough nobles, shed enough blood, and burn Enough temples... until all the old order is broken and all the traditional resistance is disintegrated, it can be done! …”
"So, Hei Lang, let go of your hands and feet! Please flatten the coastal Mayan states for me, and let them all convert to the Lord God! No matter how you kill, that is the necessary price for unification..."
