Chapter 1534 Montezuma II, You Can Call Me "Brother"!
"Testimation of the Lord God! Montesumasok, is this the body of the Great Leader Yunchen?"
"It's... the elder of the Priest Shuloth. After being identified by the prisoners, he is Tratoani of the Misterks, the Great Leader of Yunchen!..."
Three days have passed since the arrival of the tent messenger and the elder of the priest Shuloth. And that funeral that pacified the remnants of Misterke and carried out a differentiated heart ended yesterday. The Western Route Army cleaned up all the bodies of the Misterke warriors and finally found the body of the leader Yun Chen. When this corpse of the "Mistek Goddess" was revealed from the white cloth, it means that the conquered Misterek tribes completely lost the only leader who could unite people's hearts and never resurrected again It's possible...
"Montesumasok, we are similar in age. Your brother, Little Quetravak, called me again "Teacher"... So, you can call me "Brother"!"
"Well, Shuloth... brother, look! The teeth of this corpse are unique to the gods. The patterns on his face are also the most noble cloud patterns of the Misterks..."
Hearing the words of Seulot, the deputy commander of the Western Route Army, Montezuma Sokoyotesin, also known as Montezuma II, hesitated for a while and shouted "Brother", but hesitated not much. Looks close. At this moment, he just looked sighing and pointed at the corpse of the middle-aged warrior covered with white cloth on the ground, looking at the blue waves and cloud patterns on the other person's face. He sighed at the heroic death of this Misterk god descendant, and praised and expressed his sincere praise.
"Tester of the Lord God! According to a team of warriors in the army, seeing this 'Mistke Guicheng' exquisite leather armor and a dozen of confidants who were desperately guarding him, they kept chasing him into the forest in the west until they were not allowed to do so. In that mountain... In the end, everyone surrounded him halfway up the mountain, and he pulled out the obsidian dagger and stabbed it into his heart and died! This was such a brave warrior who committed suicide and died. He was worthy of being a Misterk. The most noble god descendant in the cloud! Unfortunately, he died by suicide, not in the sacred 'Flower Battle'..."
"Montesumasok, this great leader of Yunchen in Misterk, has any farewell poems left before his death?..."
"Huh? It shouldn't be? The testimony of the Lord God! My warrior said that he seemed to have just shouted a few times, "Ancestors, Ancestors"! He directly stabbed his heart with a dagger..."
"Montesumasok, think about it again? Before the death of the Great Leader Yun Chen, did you say, "It was not the alliance that destroyed me, but the Misterke nobles harmed me," "The alliance conquered Misterke, The will of the Lord God, 'The Lord God guided me before he died, and I will go to the Red Kingdom of the Lord God'? "
"Uh! Elder Priest Shuloth? Are you trying to forge the last words of the Great Chief Yunchen? How can such a warrior... how can he blaspheme at will?... He pierced his heart before his death, obviously he did not want to be sacrificed by us. Don't want to go to the kingdom of God, but to release the soul in your heart in advance and go to the kingdom of God of Rain! ... It is too much to place his soul into the Lord of God against the hope of this brave warrior! … ”
Seeing Montezuma II's obvious resistance, Seulot frowned slightly. This brave clan brother in the royal family was indeed trained by the oldest alliance aristocrats. This clan brother is "brave and tough", "following traditions", and "not clearly supporting centralized reforms", which is in line with the most traditional aristocratic characteristics of the Mexican League, and is also closely related to the traditional royal family and the city-state aristocrats!
In the original history, after this clan brother inherited the throne of the alliance, he fought a slaskra in the eastern expedition, and held various ritual "Flower Battle" in the middle. After capturing the outstanding warriors of the Tlascala people, he also set up a grand "fighting ceremony" to conduct a fair weapon duel. In this "fair convention battle", he not only allowed the other party to kill more than a dozen outstanding warriors in the league, but even allowed the other party to rest sufficiently to recover their physical strength. Until the warrior of Tlascala died in battle, he also wrote a poem of praise himself, making the enemy warrior famous and making the morale of the alliance army besieging Tlascala sharply! This is really too lack of political wisdom...
You should know that although the God King Avit claims to value warriors and respect the "tradition" of the alliance. But in practice, Avette is politically above everything else and does everything for political goals!
Therefore, in Shuloth's view, this Mongolian "brother" had a good military command of the war and barely passed the intrigue within the alliance, but the overall situation of politics and diplomacy was obviously much worse, revealing a certain kind of situation. The sensuality and pedanticity, and the extreme lack of vision and means.
Otherwise, in history, he would not have caused the alliance warriors to be scattered, and the states in the north and south did not obey the king's orders, and Tescoco and Tracopan in the Lake District also secretly rebelled... Finally, he created a "invitation to the Spanish," and used white The identity of the skin god entered the capital in the lake and suppressed the great nobles within the alliance" completely attracted the "smallflower" into the city, ruining himself and the Mexican alliance...
"Blessed by the Lord God! Since this corpse is definitely the leader of Yun Chen, I can take it back and report to the God King! As for the last words left by Yun Chen, it is related to the subsequent governance of the Misterke Land, and it is also related to the When it comes to the hearts of the Misterk tribe, the priests will naturally divine the results, then print them into books, and preach to the surrendered Misterk tribes... Montesumasok, this is also for the governance of your future fiefdom, and lay in advance Justice. Do you understand? Answer me!"
Xuluot looked serious and gave Montezuma II a few stern instructions. Montezuma II showed some dissatisfaction on his face, but in the face of Xuluot's harsh words, he had to bow his head and agree.
"Yes! I understand! Elder Priest Xuluot!"
"Well... May the Lord bless you! I think that when this body is erected under Shanhe City, the last Mixtec remnants in Shanhe City should have surrendered completely..."
"Ha! The last hero of the Mixtec people is dead! As for those in the city, they are just humble and surrendered tribesmen, and they are slaves conquered by us Mexica people! As conquerors, why should we care about their people's hearts?..."
Hearing Montezuma II's response, Xuluot frowned again. Valuing the gods' warriors who died in the enemy's battle and despising the lower-level tribes who surrendered in humiliation are typical characteristics of the old Mexica nobles! This cousin's position is really traditional and conservative...
"The Lord God is my witness! The three years of the southern expedition have already exhausted the food in Shanhe City. In the past two months, the Mixtecs have been reported to be sacrificing and eating people. And Yun Chen led the last Mixtec warriors to break out to the south because they ran out of food. They had to abandon the old and weak in the city and wanted to break out of the valley in the south and detour from the coast to the Zapotec coast..."
"Now that he is gone, we can try to save as many Mixtec tribesmen in Shanhe City as possible and convert them to become the people of the alliance. If there is time, we can plant a season of beans before July and save a group of people! And as long as the descendants of the gods in Yunzhong are gone and the tribe has farming and harvest, the hearts of the Mixtec people will soon join the alliance..."
When mentioning the tragic situation in Shanhe City, Xiu Luote paused, his face was obviously heavy, and there was some unspeakable silence. Because half a year ago, it was he who proposed to the God King who was preparing to besiege Shanhe City the cruel proposals of "driving all tribes into the city", "guarding the valley roads on three sides", "loosening the outside and tightening the siege inside", "forcing Yunchen to go out of the city for a decisive battle", and "minimizing the losses of the alliance warriors"!
The great leader Yunchen in Shanhe City gathered 20,000 warriors and militiamen and confronted the central army of the giant bear Stanley for nearly three years. The army in his hands has fought for many years and can be regarded as elite and good at fighting! If the alliance really wants to attack the city or fight in the field, the Mixtec people will fight to the death, and the losses of the alliance warriors will be thousands or tens of thousands. In Xiuluot's view, Yunchen's biggest weakness is undoubtedly food!
The food in the Shanhe Valley is already stretched to the limit, and it can only be compensated by the cultivation of tens of thousands of tribes in the hinterland of the east and south. But when the Western Route Army opened up the Mixtec coast and reached the city of Yangu in the south, Yunchen had to support another front. He could no longer defend the hinterland in the south, and could only rely on the narrow land connecting Yunshan City in the east to obtain some food supply.
And when half a year ago, the East Route Army destroyed the Zapotec Legion, Yunshan City surrendered, and the East Route Army of the Alliance attacked from the end of the narrow land in the east... The dagger of the Alliance's sacrifice was completely on the neck of the great leader Yunchen! Yunchen had to give up Yan Gu City in the south and Hongtu Village in the north, and guard the more than ten miles around Shanhe City, and there was no more food replenishment...
Afterwards, Avit adopted Xiuluot's siege suggestion of "loose outside and tight inside" and issued a formal military order! The Central Route Army guarded Hongtu Village, the South Route Army guarded Yan Gu City, and the East Route Army guarded the entrance of Yunshan Valley, leaving the Mixtec people with an open space of dozens of miles. Then, the Alliance's warrior team went out to drive out the Mixtec tribe in Yan Gu City and the Mixtec tribesmen who were farming in the valley, and all fled into Shanhe City!
This move hit Yun Chen's vital point accurately. If Yunshan City faced such a situation, it could naturally guard the city gates tightly, regardless of the lives of the tribes outside, just like the Otomi people's Otopen City before. But Yun Chen had no choice in the situation in Shanhe City! The various armies he gathered in his hands were too many and too complicated, with too many numbers and too complicated sources!
Among the 20,000 warriors and militias of the Mixtec tribes, only a quarter were his headquarters in Yunchen Shanhe City. Therefore, he could not refuse the surrender of other warrior-born tribes, otherwise they would inevitably rebel and fight each other internally. There might even be tribes that opened the city gates and surrendered directly to the Mexica army outside the city!
In this way, the three armies of the Mexica Alliance surrounded from three sides. There are many Mixtec tribes in Shanhe City. Not only are there no reinforcements and no cultivated fields outside, but there is also a lack of food supplies in the city. There is no hope at all! The alliance army surrounded the city from a distance without attacking, leaving more than ten miles of wilderness, and just guarding the valley roads on three sides. The army seemed to have loosened the noose of the Mixtecs, but in fact it was patiently waiting, watching the Yunchen army in the city run out of food and fall into civil strife...
And the final outcome was not beyond the expectations of Xiuluot and Avit. In other words, in such a difficult situation, Yunchen actually appeased the tribes and supported for nearly half a year, which has proved that he is a true Mixtec hero! As for the hero's final choice after struggling hard, it was to abandon the solid city-state and lead the last Mixtec warriors to break through the seemingly only way out and the weakest Western Route Army at night!
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
But the Western Army had already received a strict order from the God King, and they would never dare to let Yun Chen go south. Otherwise, the dozen alliance nobles that Xiu Luote sacrificed after the valley collapsed would have the same fate as them! After a fierce battle, 4,000 Mixtecs died, and the Western Army led by Montezuma II also lost 2,000 warriors and militiamen from the royal branch of the Asar family. Not only that, Xiu Luote also knew that the God King would recruit another 200 elites from the Western Army in the name of rewarding military merits to join the Broken Hair Guards...
The Lord God witnessed! Avit's magnificent political means not only suppressed Xiu Luote, but also made other royal princes and city-state nobles feel the real bitterness! This is simply like being forced by the God King to grind cornmeal, and handing over the fundamental force in his hands little by little to carry out the centralization that will not stop!
For thousands of years, the loose political tradition of the Central American tribal alliance was quickly centralized in the hands of Avit during the more than ten years of war reforms. It has gone through the five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or the one hundred years of the Northern Wei Dynasty reform...
"Montezumazoque, the Western Army fought well in this battle! Next, after the surrender of Shanhe City, the God King will hold a grand reward! And the Western Army warriors who captured Yun Chen's body, the God King will also fulfill his promise to enfeoff hereditary nobles and include them in the Broken Hair Guards!... Go back and prepare well!"
After the inspection, the body of Chief Yun Chen was wrapped in white cloth again, and the Broken Hair Guards also took out the "stretcher" and carried this important "descendant of the cloud god". Xiuluot adjusted his feather crown and prepared to leave. But before he left, Montezuma II suddenly took two steps forward, straightened his armored chest, and asked loudly.
"Respected... Elder Priest Xiuluot! You have been by the side of the God King, and you know the upcoming military merits and rewards... This time in the southern expedition, our Western Army took the lead in opening up the Western states, and then attacked the valley of Shanhe City, and finally eliminated the elite troops who broke through Yunchen. Thousands of warriors died in the battle, which can be said to be the 'first in military merit'!"
"But I heard that the God King has other plans when dividing the fiefdom in Yunzhong. He wants to set aside half for your children, for the two little guys who were just born and whose hair has not yet grown?..."
"The Lord God is witnessing! Elder Priest Xiuluot, tell me the truth! How will the fiefdom in Yunzhong be distributed? How much of it can the royal family of my Asar line get!..."
