Chapter 1350 The Fate of the Inca Empire

"Hmm? The sun's headband, the sun's tribe, Inca Tawantinsuyu? Their boss dared to call himself 'Sapa Inca', claiming to be the descendant of the sun's god, the unique emperor who ruled the four directions? Damn, this tone is even bigger than our Mexica royal family?!..."

"Xuluot, according to the divine revelation given to you by the Lord God, where is this 'Inca' located in the southern continent? How big is the scope of that sun kingdom? How many tens of thousands of tribes are there in the territory they rule?..."

Hearing another detailed divine prophecy, Avit's expression became serious, and his eyes were full of sharpness, which obviously aroused his ambition. At this moment, as the God King of the Mexica Alliance, he has the confidence to be the overlord of the world, and he has the ambition to conquer the northern and southern tribes. However, Xiuluot's answer was beyond his expectations, causing his pupils to shrink and even a little unbelievable.

"Respected God King Teacher! The Lord God led me to fly south in my dream, and I saw the outline of the southern continent... The Inca Kingdom of the Sun is in the mountains on the west side of the southern continent, south of the coastal Zapotec, a full seven or eight thousand miles away! And their mountain territory occupies the entire Andes Mountains, which is also seven or eight thousand miles from north to south, and hundreds of miles from east to west. The area is as large as the Mexica Plateau and the Mayan jungle combined!..."

"These sun people in the southern continent are good at opening terraces and farming in the mountains. The potatoes of the alliance originated there, and their potato varieties, hundreds of varieties, can adapt to different environments from extreme cold to hot, drought to rainy. The kidney beans loved by the priests, There is also quinoa with a special taste, which also comes from the southern continent and the thousands of years of cultivation of these ancient tribes in the Andes! …”

“With these crops suitable for mountain cultivation, the population of the Inca Kingdom is not inferior to the world that our alliance has conquered… They are probably 10 million people! The capital of the gold and the sun, the huge city of Cusco with a population of hundreds of thousands, and four Suyu regions with millions of people, that is, the four kingdoms managed by the royal family! And the number of warriors they can mobilize is in the hundreds of thousands, and they have bronze weapons! …”

Speaking of this, seeing Avit's sudden change in surprise, Xiuluot paused slightly and held back a little.

"Of course! This is just a prophecy from God in a dream. I don't remember it very clearly, and it may not be completely true... For the specific situation, we need to send out an exploration fleet for initial contact and communication!"

"The Inca tribes are located in the mountains, with four-legged alpacas, various potato crops, and special southern herbs... They are not our enemies, but glue people who can be integrated! As for our enemies of life and death, from beginning to end, there are only the white-skinned evil demons in the East China Sea, and only the terrible plagues and diseases brought by the evil demons!..."

"As for the method of assimilating the Inca tribes, it is actually similar to the Mayan tribes, and it is destined to be a long blood fusion!... The Lord God has also given the direction, but it will take dozens or hundreds of years, and we need to wait patiently for the opportunity!..."

Xuluot stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the sun headband of the Andes tribes, as if touching the sun with unlimited potential. He knew that the current Inca Empire was extremely powerful at its peak. The Inca tribes should have just conquered the Chimu Kingdom with a population of millions. The four Suyu almost controlled most of the population of South America. It was a giant that seemed unbeatable!

However, the giant of the Andes Mountains was too big and naturally unstable. It had fatal weaknesses proven by history. In addition to the various plagues in the Old World that all the tribes in the Americas lacked resistance to, there was also the extreme internal gap between the upper and lower levels that was common in the ancient theocracy, which buried a huge hidden danger of collapse! …

"Teacher God King! A powerful empire always collapses from the inside. When it was strong, it was indestructible and irresistible. But when it declined, it would stimulate all contradictions, just like the giants of the first era, who were trapped in the swamp and couldn't extricate themselves, and finally fell into the endless abyss!... "

Xuluot spoke faintly, his eyes seemed to see through time. At this moment, he was like a truly divine prophet, seeing through the fate and end of the Inca Empire. This powerful and centralized ancient theocracy, like ancient Egypt and ancient Maya, had huge hidden dangers of rule. The powerful nobles, priests, and royal groups, the completely solidified class hierarchy, and the minority groups that monopolize the rule are far more difficult to deal with than the emerging Mexica tribes!

"The Lord God took me to the past! I saw the tribes of Cusco rise from the valleys of the mountains, just like the beginning of our Mexica rise! Then, in the past two hundred years, they expanded rapidly, extending from the center of the Andes to the entire mountain range, controlling all the mountain tribes that could be defeated. And their royal family also continued to crown new crowns, gathering the divinity of each tribe, and became the deified god king of the southern continent!..."

"However, the rule of the Inca royal family is a floating eye of the gods, seemingly as radiant as the sun, but lacks the foundation of the sacred tree. They are not even as good as the Mayan tribes, who have the absolute geographical advantage of the jungle and can last for a long time..."

"Teacher God King! The rule of the Inca Empire is highly dependent on the Inca royal family and the layers of nobles under the royal family! The boundary between their top gods and the bottom ants is as different as the Maya, and there is no room for warriors to be promoted!..."

"They have two thousand descendants of the Inca royal family, tens of thousands of Inca nobles, plus the Inca headquarters of less than one million, ruling tens of millions of people conquered from all directions! Most of the wealth and power are controlled by the Inca nobles In their hands, the number of their Inca headquarters was too small! Even though they were working hard to assimilate the newly conquered tribes, they were unwilling to give real power to rule and absorb the talents and warriors of each tribe into their rulers. A member of the class…”

"Their royal family, nobles and lower-level ants are three insurmountable gaps. Without the warrior class participating in the rule in the middle, there is no most important support base for the middle class! Their headquarters and the newly conquered foreign races, even if there are immigrants The policy of assimilation is still difficult to achieve. To put it simply, they have too few ruling classes and too few people with political power! This is a giant spruce tree that looks huge but has extremely shallow roots. Other spruce trees are bound to their roots and are destined to collapse once they encounter a real sea storm. To defeat such a giant tree, you don't need to pull out all its leaves. You only need to kill two thousand gods and tens of thousands of nobles! Just like what I saw in a certain divine future..."

"The Lord God gave me enlightenment! The rule of the Inca royal family in the south is highly dependent on the force of the royal center, the myth of the southern sun, and the authority of the god, making the ants highly obedient! This is similar to the descendants of the Mayan gods, but the Mayan gods The descendants have the knowledge of mathematics, calendar and water reservoir construction. Without this valuable knowledge, the city-state will not be able to cultivate and harvest, and it will decline and cannot continue..."

"In other words, the Mayan ant people's obedience to the Mayan god descendants is to continue the tribe, while the Inca ant people's obedience to the Inca god descendants is just a mythical intimidation constructed by the nobles and priests!..."

Hearing this, Avitt's brows moved slightly, and his mood was obviously ups and downs. In fact, before the appearance of Xiulote, the rule of the Mexica tribes was also based on the intimidation of force and the intimidation of myths. It was also based on a shallow foundation and could fall down in a storm!

Although the Mexicans use military merit to promote nobles, they value force above all else, and they have a huge middle class. But in terms of faith and politics, the alliance's rule is also weak. The divisions between the internal nobles, the conflicts between external vassals, and the divisions between faith and religious authority are all buried deep!

Until the new ideas brought by Shulot, the religious reform by the elders and high priests, monotheism was carried out, suppressing local polytheistic beliefs and separatism. Avit continued to centralize power, weaken the great nobles, bring down disloyal vassals, and completely eliminate the old enemies. It even included Shulot's massacre of the holy city of Cholula and the complete destruction of another theocratic center of the Nahua tribes. Then when the concept of Jiaoren unity was put forward, all the tribes were brought into the assimilation category of Jiaoren brothers... Only then did the alliance's ruling foundation slowly take root, with the foundation to grow into a towering giant tree, able to withstand the attacks from the East China Sea. storm!

"Witness the Lord God! Once the evil disease strikes, the Inca royal family will die in large numbers in the epidemic, and the sun divinity they have built will be shattered, and the foundation of the southern empire will collapse in half! And if the Inca royal family's army is also in the war, If it fails, the other half of the foundation of the Southern Empire will be gone..."

"At that time, the Chimu tribes (Chimu) who were just conquered thirty years ago will be the first to raise their troops to resist! Then, the newly conquered Colla tribes (Colla) in the south! Even the Southern Empire Within the royal family, civil wars will continue to occur in the four Suyu royal vassals and the royal capital of Cusco... And among the four Suyus, millions of low-level ants who are ruled and have no possibility of promotion will either revolt. If you resist, you will either be at a loss or be bribed by the enemy to defect, but you will never fight to the end for the superior god descendant..."

"Dear God King! This is what the Lord God showed me! The strength and fragility of the Southern Empire, the dangers and flames that separate heaven and man from above...Perhaps, the Lord God's divine revelation not only points to the Southern Empire, but also points to We are Mexicans!”

"The Lord God testifies! A true divine tree never depends on how tall it is, but how deep its root system is, and how many 'people' it can connect together and participate in the growth of the divine tree! The ruling ones The core is always the human heart, and this is also the teaching you once gave me..."

"Perhaps, if the rule of our Mexica royal family wants to last for hundreds of thousands of years, it does not depend on the force of the legion, nor on the intimidation of the priests...but on the formation of a human body, and on how many tribes are regarded as 'human beings' by the alliance. ', participate in the rule and governance of the world! How many tribes in the world can believe in this magical bird and really regard themselves as a 'glue man'..."

"This is what the divine inspiration brought to me, a superficial view, and it is also the reason why I painted this divine bird of destiny. I hope that you, the respected God King, can think about it!..."
