Chapter 1505 This Cup of Cocoa Is for the Future of Glue People!

"Young prophet of divine revelation! The location of the Dasha River fiefdom is in the north of the wild northern Tekos tribes, almost the end of the world. If the location of this fiefdom cannot be changed... then the area of ​​this fiefdom must be at least as large as the valley of Yunshan City. Moreover, we Yunshan tribes hope to take more tribes with us! The number of 6,000 people is too few. You know, Yunshan City has a city and a fort, and there are nearly 20,000 tribesmen, all of whom are relatives of the same ancestor..."

"Respected Elder Yun Gushan, then according to your idea, how many Yunshan tribes do the descendants of the gods of the Yunshan family hope to take with them to transfer to the west and join the Kingdom of the Lake?..."

"Blessings from the ancestors! At least double it, 10,000 taels Thousands! This is not my idea, but the bottom line that the descendants of Yunshan God discussed before I left the city... In addition, three honorary noble titles are too few, not enough for the descendants of God to distribute. We hope to obtain five honorary noble titles! In addition, since we are going to open up wasteland on the edge of the wild North Tekos and rebuild villages and city-states... Then we need food support from the kingdom for the first three years of opening up wasteland! And after three years, we will pay 10% of tribute to the kingdom, and another 10% of offerings to the kingdom's priests. Yes, a total of 20%, just like the Otomians..."

"."

In the prophet's tent, mysterious symbols and flags surrounded a strange hexagram. The two priest elders of the divine power sat cross-legged on the black and white Yin-Yang fish cotton blanket, conducting a "conference of the gods".

Xuluot sat on the black dot of the white Yin-Yang fish, and was also close to the upper head of the main god emblem. He wore a formal obsidian feather crown, inlaid with two red gems like the eyes of gods, and an obsidian pendant with sun ripples. He looked solemn, dignified and heavy. At this moment, he lowered his eyes, looked gentle, and patiently listened to the conditions of the Mixtec priest elder, like a generous and tolerant "priest king".

"The powerful Huitzilobo God of War is witnessing! Our Yunshan tribes will devoutly worship Him as the only main god, and let the traditional rain god be reduced to a subordinate god. All rain god priests will swear an oath to serve the greater main god. Those who are unwilling will be relieved of their priest positions... In addition, we will send young noble heirs to join the Kingdom's Divine Revelation University in accordance with the agreement to study the main god's literature and "Divine Revelation Teachings". All inherited priests and nobles will have the experience of studying at the Divine Power University!..."

"Of course, according to the previous negotiations, The agreement, the priests and nobles of the fiefdom are still decided by our headquarters, and they enjoy the power of autonomy! In order to resist the harassment of the dog race in the northeastern wilderness, the army of the fiefdom is independently organized and managed, but will obey the call of the Kingdom of the Lake when fighting external wars..."

"Yes! That's all! The same area of ​​fiefdom, 12,000 tribes, five honorary noble titles, three years of land reclamation support... plus a 20% tribute ratio, and the autonomy of the fiefdom! ..."

Yun Gushan, the elder priest of Yunshan City, sat on the white dot of the black yin-yang fish. He wore the feather crown of the rain god Chak in the clouds, engraved with golden tiger claws, and decorated with jaguar bone ornaments. The old eyebrows trembled slightly, and the cautious eyes under the eyebrows carefully observed the expression of the "divine prophet". Then, the mouth chanting the spell opened and closed gently, quietly lowered the voice, tried to lower the posture, and explained the demands of the city.

"Revered prophet of divine revelation! We have two years of food in Yunshan City. If we abandon some of the old and weak, we can even hold on longer. The nobles in the city don't believe in the God King who raises troops for no reason and cruelly conquers. The nobles don't believe in the promise of the God King, and they are afraid that the fate of the tribes of Tlaxcala will befall them..."

"There is still a lot of food in the city. The reason why we are willing to give up our ancestral land and surrender to transfer... is largely out of respect and trust in you! We know a lot about your divine character and glory, and we can believe it. In fact, you can return to the capital in the lake, hand over the inheritance of the alliance to your descendants, and serve the glory of the God of War... It really surprised us, the Mixtec tribes, and we admire you very much!"

"."

The Mixtec elder looked sincere, and Shulot was silent. As the most concerned disloyal vassal of the Mexica Alliance, the Mixtec tribes have always had a deep understanding of the alliance politics.

Three years ago, the power struggle between the Mexica Alliance and the Kingdom of the Lake intensified. The Mixtec tribes thought that the "barbaric" Mexica Alliance would once again stage the tradition of the Mexica royal family and stage a brutal royal civil war!

But the development of things was far beyond their expectations. Prince Shulot of the Kingdom of the Lake actually returned to the Alliance and gave up his inheritance rights. And with the temporary reconciliation of the two alliance royal families, the Mixtec tribes who were originally watching the excitement suddenly ushered in a catastrophe. The army mobilized by the alliance had no more scruples and marched southward, launching a "God War" aimed at completely conquering the people in the clouds and devouring the rain god in the clouds...

"Respected prophet of divine revelation! You are a truly pious descendant of the gods and a prophet who can foresee the future. You are a 'jaguar in the body of clouds', with the greed and cruelty of the jaguar shed, leaving only the sacred whiteness of the clouds!..."

The elderly Yun Gushan elder muttered in Nahua language with a Toltec accent, and after the former Otomi priest Ort, he once again presented a "good guy card". Then, under the twitching gaze of Xiu Luote's eyes, the old priest elder leaned deeply and bowed to the young prophet.

"Ancestors bear witness! We, the Yunshan tribes, believe in your divinity and reputation. Therefore, we are willing to join your Lake Kingdom and accept the noble title of your kingdom! ... In fact, the more tribes we migrate, the stronger your feudal power will be in the end. And the five honorary noble titles will make the Yunshang tribes divided into five branches, which is not a bad thing for you. As for the autonomy we requested, it is also following the old example of the Otomi tribes, the same as the Kolyma tribes... If you are willing, we will also offer the most beautiful noble girl to give birth to a divine heir for you..."

"Strong The great God of War and the ancient God of Rain, witness our promise together! As long as you agree to these six conditions, and in front of the army outside Yunshan City, under the gaze of the alliance army, make a blood oath with us to the ancestral gods... we will open the gates of Yunshan City and hand over the Mixtec ancestral land that has been passed down from generation to generation. We will not only hand over this immortal mountain city fortress to you, but also the lives of our 12,000 tribesmen to your hands! …”

“…”

Facing the Yungushan elders who bowed and saluted with a pleading look, Xiuluot sat still and thought quietly for a long time. These Central American nobles who surrendered in the war of gods were enfeoffed to the borders of the Central American world, allowing them to open up wasteland and cultivate, and expand the scope of the world, just like the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty. For these enfeoffed frontier nobles, the kingdom will not choose to levy taxes, but will use more economic means to exchange the output of the frontier with superior productivity. Will such a division of fiefdoms lead to the reversal of priorities, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the hidden danger of rebellion after several generations? …

I am afraid that it depends on whether the belief in the Lord God will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after decades or hundreds of years? How well does the kingdom's assimilation policy work? To what extent does the central government control the connection with the local economy, and can it always maintain a dominant advantage? And does he and the Lake Kingdom he created have such confidence? …

"Okay! I promise you!..."

After a long while, Xiu Luote finally looked solemn and promised in a deep voice. He looked at Yungu Mountain lying on the ground with the attitude of a feudal lord and nodded solemnly.

"The ancient Jiao people's ancestors are watching us who share the same origin... As long as the Yunshan tribes worship the Lord God, accept the common ancestral myths of the Jiao people, and send the inherited noble children to study at Shenwei University... I will swear a blood oath with you before the battle and agree to your transfer conditions!..."

"The Lord God is a witness! After you are transferred to the Dasha River Plain, the first five years of food support will be provided by the Dahu Jiedushi. Not only that, the kingdom's priest group will also teach you farming techniques and rent and provide metal farm tools... And with the water and soil conditions of the Dasha River Plain, as long as you can cultivate it carefully, the output of the fields will never be worse than this Yungu Valley land, and it will even be richer!"

Speaking of this, Xiu Luote stretched out his palm and shook the hair of the Yungushan elder. Then, he lifted up the excited priest elder, and his solemn expression eased a little. After a moment of silence, he looked into Yungushan's eyes and said meaningfully.

"The oath of our ancestors can only survive on one side at a time... Since the Yunshan tribes have chosen to join the alliance, they must make a complete break with the Zapotec tribes in the south!..."

"Before coming to negotiate this time, the condition given to me by the God King was to allow you to take away 8,000 people. And I made the decision myself and promised you an extra 4,000 people... I need you to make some useful contributions to the alliance's southern expedition! For example, using the Zapotec tribes in Oaxaca to exchange for your Yunshan tribes..."

"The Zapotec coalition forces are stationed in the camp at the entrance of the Oaxaca Valley. While watching and hesitating, they continue to send small groups of troops from the surrounding mountains and valleys to test. They are unwilling to send their main forces north to rescue you, but they are also reluctant to completely withdraw. And this small-scale forest entanglement is of no help to the front line, it is just a meaningless waste of time. Consuming the lives of warriors from both sides..."

"So, the God King intends to make a complete break with the Zapotecs who are entangled with each other in the southeast of Yunshan City Valley... We will spread the news of the rebellion of the northeastern Huastec tribes, and then withdraw from the valley road that has been occupied, and lure the Zapotec army to pursue deep into the Yunshan City Valley... But the Zapotecs have always been cautious. In order to get these cautious bats out of the cave, the Alliance needs the assistance of you Yunshan Gods!"

"The Lord God is a witness! We will let your messenger break through and pass the "latest intelligence" of the Alliance to the Zapotecs. You, the Gods of Yunshan City, invite Zapotec allies to come to attack the retreating Alliance army... This way... this way..."

Xuluot leaned forward and talked to the elder of Yungu Mountain for a long time. The old Mixtec priest's eyes flickered, and his face changed, showing a struggle and hesitation. After a long while, he nodded heavily, bit his lip hard, and promised.

"Okay! The wolf-like god of war bears witness, I will arrange everything! The Zapotec Oaxaca tribes have always been intermarried with our Yunshan tribes, and there are many noble descendants who are blood-bound. Since the alliance wants us to sever the oath with the south..."

"I will send my third son to be the leading envoy of the Yunshan tribe to seek help! He will not know the agreement behind it, but will only hold the last hope of saving Yunshan City, break through at all costs, and ask for help from the Zapotec tribe where his mother came from. And the noble children he takes with him to break through will also have the blood of the Zapotec people... As for whether the Zapotec army will come, and how many will come, it depends on the smoke-like fate!..."

Speaking of this, Elder Yungushan lowered his head, and real pain emerged in his old eyes. This group of noble children who went to Zapotec for help were not only a token of surrender for the Yunshan tribes, but also a price that was destined to be lost. When the Mexica army launched a well-prepared ambush, these young nobles who knew nothing and were loyal to the tribe would probably die with the Zapotec reinforcements without a burial place...

Xuluot lowered his eyes and also figured out Elder Yungushan's choice. He was silent for a few breaths for the other party's determination, and quietly filled a cup of bloody cocoa and handed it to the other party.

"May the Lord bless you! No matter how much cocoa falls, as long as the sacred cocoa tree can continue, the future of the tribe will be preserved! And the future of the Yunshan tribes, in my eyes, is the overlap of the fifth era, and the reconstruction of the Jiao people... So, this cup of sacred cocoa, just toast to the smoky fate and the future of the Jiao people!..."
