Chapter 1279 The Two Kings Compromise, and a Chance of Victory Emerges!

"Self-conferring the guards of my kingdom in the valley of Shenshi City, and then passing them on to my two children?..."

In the God King's tent, the map in the clouds was spread out on the mahogany desk. Although the Mixtec tribes are still resisting, their territories in the clouds have been distributed among the Mexica leaders.

After hearing Avitt's inquiry, Shulot's expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts were as fast as lightning.

"There are almost no Mexicans among the guards I left behind. Instead, they are mainly Prepecha warriors, Tekos tribe warriors, and wilderness barbarian warriors... Based on their ethnic origin, it is difficult for them to be recognized by the nobles of the alliance. Accept it. Coupled with the influence of my personal leadership for many years, it is definitely difficult to be bribed by the collective! ...At most, a few of them may be mixed with sand..."

"Therefore, the political exchange conditions proposed by Avitt are to use the territorial control of the Holy Stone Valley in exchange for the Kingdom Guards around me to go to the local enfeoffment... This is to use long-term family interests in exchange for the weakening of the military around me... I want to I went one step further and became a religious symbol of faith and a pure theocratic leader!…”

"On the other hand, the proposal of this exchange is itself a political test...Does Avitt really intend to hand over the Holy Stone City, which is the retreat of the army, completely into the hands of my direct descendants?...Or maybe he just wants to throw stones to find the way. , take a look at my bottom line, take a look at my response, and judge whether my thoughts... have been changed by the reputation of the 'prophet'..."

After thinking for a moment, Shulot bowed respectfully. He looked solemn and admonished Avitt, just like Gilliam once did.

"Dear father-in-law...God King!...The army is out on an expedition, and military merits such as titles and land grants will indeed help to boost the morale of the army and establish a Mexican territory...But such enfeoffment should be done after we capture Yunshan City, or at least After this year's autumn harvest! ...At least, we have to wait until the harvest of the Tuntian tribe is completed, the food is transported into the warehouse, and people's hearts are a little more stable before we can make such a big move! But for now, I'm afraid we should try to keep it quiet..."

"There are 30,000 Mixtec tribes who farm in the Shenshi City Valley. If 800 acres of land are granted to military nobles and 40 tribal serfs are granted, approximately 700-800 people can be enfeoffed. If too few tribal serfs are granted, these new serfs will The promoted nobles with military merit may not be willing to leave their hometown, and it will be even more difficult for them to gain a foothold among the Mixtecs... In actual implementation, it is best to give the surrendered Mixtec tribe a chance and forgive some of the surrendered ones. The leader will promote some warriors in the clouds to join the alliance’s ruling group... Therefore, I think 500 of the alliance’s military nobles will be enough for the final enfeoffment!”

"As for the enfeoffment objects of the 500 military nobles, they should be the warriors who fought bravely and made great achievements in the Southern Expedition... The rewards and punishments of the God King should be as fair as the sun... In my opinion, the first meritorious service in the Southern Expedition should be the first The royal warriors who attacked the city and broke through the enemy's formations were secondarily responsible for the city-state warriors who opened roads, filled trenches, and cleared the mountains and forests. The final contribution was made by the kingdom's guards who operated bronze cannons and shot at the city walls... Perhaps the enfeoffment quota for Shenshi City should be increased Based on this, 50% will be returned to the royal family warriors, 30% will be returned to the city-state warriors, and 20% will be returned to the kingdom's imperial guards... The army is out on an expedition, and rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. Everything should be based on military morale. Please be aware of this!"

After saying that, Xiulote was respectful and wanted to bow down to the ground, but was held up by Avitt. Avitt held Xilotte in one hand and tapped the table with the other hand, as if he was thinking carefully about something.

"Wait until after the autumn harvest to enfeoff...only 500 people, each with 40 slaves and 800 acres of land?..."

This kind of enfeoffment of military nobles is based on the standards of the Kingdom of the Lake, but it is much higher than that of the Mexican Alliance! The alliance is densely populated, all the fields have been distributed, and the number of nobles has almost reached saturation. Ordinary military nobles often only have a dozen servants and more than two hundred acres of land, which is not even as good as the senior warriors of the Lake Kingdom. Therefore, in the same Shenshi City Valley, Avitt believed that two thousand military nobles could be enfeoffed, but Shulot only counted seven or eight hundred people...

Fundamentally, the basis of Avitt's rule is the traditional royal family. The traditional upper-class group will take away most of the alliance's expansion dividends, such as enfeoffing royal princes.

The basic base of Shulot's rule is the emerging warriors and military nobles. Through the continuous expansion of the Kingdom in the Lake, the continuous war dividends, and the rapid increase in productivity, it has gradually cultivated a large number of middle-level supporters, that is, emerging military-worthy landowners. After all, the kingdom in the lake on a blank sheet of paper is better to draw than the intricate alliance...

"Well...accept some Mixtec chiefs and warriors, allocate quotas according to military merit, and put military morale first..."

After pondering for a moment, Avitt smiled and said.

"That's right, this is only fair! Shulot, then let's make the arrangements as you said!..."

"Yes! Follow your will, God King!..."

"Xulot, if there are no outsiders, please call me father-in-law!..."

"Yes! God King...Father-in-law!..."

With that said, Shulot bowed again. He declined implicitly with admonitions, and always had a humble attitude, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Avitt also smiled, changing his usual stern and authoritative look, without any compulsion at all.

Because, facing the "obedient" student, the "admonishing" son-in-law, and the "hidden" prophet in front of him, he can no longer win all! ...After this trial, both sides reached a tacit compromise and knew the other side's bottom line.

"Xuluot, three armies are marching south. The Eastern Army is besieging Yunshan City, and the Central Army is still confronting the Mixtec leader Yunchen outside Shanhe City... Instead, the Western Army is attacking the city and capturing the stronghold, and has made the first breakthrough!..."

"This is the latest news... The Western Army has penetrated the Western Mixtec, and has advanced all the way from Xianggou City to the south to the coast... At present, the vanguard of the Western Army should have cooperated with the kingdom's navy to begin besieging Hedou City on the Mixtec coast!..."

Avit took out the third letter and handed it to Xiuluot. Then, he pressed his finger on Hedou City on the map, drew a dotted line, and pointed directly to Yan Gu City behind Shanhe City in the middle.

"Lord God bless! As long as the two cities of Hedou and Shuangshan on the coast are conquered, the empty central hinterland of the Mixtec people will be completely exposed to the alliance! Then, the Western Army will go north to Yangu City and directly into the hinterland of Yunzhong, and attack the great leader Yunchen together with the Central Army..."

"The army of the great leader Yunchen originally came from the states in the rear. As long as his hinterland is invaded by the alliance, the morale of the army will be greatly dispersed!... There will definitely be many leaders who will leave with their tribal warriors and give priority to defending their own tribal city-states... Once the Mixtec army Dispersion will weaken, and losing the hinterland will not last long, and complete collapse is imminent! …”

“At this point, the key opportunity for the southern expedition has appeared! This opportunity to determine the victory is not in the difficult mountain city on the east road, not in the Yunchen army on the central front, but in the two coastal cities attacked by the western army! .”

“Ah! That’s right! Praise the Lord! …Father-in-law, your keen control of the battle situation is like the incarnation of the god of war coming in person! …”

Xuluot admired seriously, his face was sincere from the heart, and Avit also raised the corner of his mouth.

In this southern expedition, the alliance went all out, and three armies went south to attack the two tribes in Yunzhong. In less than a year, the Mixtec tribes in the front had already revealed fatal flaws. And now, it is Marshal Casar and his cousin Montezuma II’s more than 20,000 western troops, and the thousands of purple grass legions supporting the kingdom at sea, that are attacking this fatal flaw!

"Xuluot, the logistics and food routes of the Western Army have extended to a thousand miles, most of which are mountain roads... At this time, Casar is relying on the captured and looted food to barely maintain the army's supply! But the rainy season has arrived, and the logistics cost of the mountain roads will be too high for the alliance to bear..."

Hearing the meaning, Xuluot's eyes moved slightly, and he already understood what Avit had not said.

The biggest difficulty in the southern expedition to the Yunzhong tribes is the increasingly long logistics line. There are no ox carts and horse carts in Central America, and it is impossible to maintain a land logistics line of a thousand miles for 20,000 troops in mountainous terrain. The only way to maintain the supply of the Western Army is by water, and only by transporting food from the Kingdom of the Lake! After the 20,000 troops of Kasar and Meng Er arrived at the coast of Mixtec, their lives and deaths were in the hands of the kingdom fleet...

"Well... the selection and arrangement of the Western Army seems to have been considered long ago... and Avit chose this time to reveal the enfeoffment arrangement of the Cloud Land... It really made the royal family of the Asar family eat them up!... Sure enough, the arrangement of personnel is the most exquisite. Plan ahead and let time create a favorable situation..."

Xuluot's thoughts turned around, learning the political operations of Avit's people, but his actions did not hesitate. He saluted solemnly again and responded in a deep voice.

"The Lord God is witnessing! The Kingdom will be responsible for the logistics of the Western Route Army! And the newly cast Thor mortar of the Kingdom can just reach the Mixtec coastal twin cities by sea..."

"The victory of the war of gods will definitely belong to us. This is the divine revelation of the Lord God!..."

"Praise the Lord God, and praise you even more! My father-in-law, the God King!..."

"Haha!..."

In the tent, Avit laughed loudly, extremely satisfied.
