Chapter 817 The Resistance of the Coastal Tribes, the Steady Advance of the Eastern Expedition

The sun rose and the sun set, and ten days passed in a hurry. The dark night is full of stars, but the morning light of dawn has not yet come. Spring flowers are blooming, and the delicate red poinsettia is in its native tropical America, blooming the last flowering period, rendering a gorgeous spring scene. And the envoys in a hurry, stepped on the petals that were beginning to fall, came from the front line of fighting in the east, and brought back the latest letter.

"Patriarch, the letter from the front line! After the black wolf conquered Cone House City, under the auspices of Chief Priest Yi Cui, a large-scale conversion ceremony was held, and more than 30,000 Totonak tribes were converted!"

"After that, he led 5,000 pioneers and arrived at the city of Coyote. He had cleared the surrounding area of ​​the city-state and brought down 10,000 to 20,000 Totonak tribes. And as long as the transported bronze artillery arrived, he would be able to capture Coyote City, completely subdue the more than 20,000 coyote tribes in the city!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, unfolded the letter, briefly scanned it, and then respectfully reported back to the king.

It's still the adobe river, and the same hills. The monarch and his ministers stood on the top of the hill, looking at the dark green forest across the river. Under the feet of the two, the tribal militiamen transporting food were like tiny ants, struggling to move forward slowly along the opened forest path. On the bank of the river, several tall wooden poles were erected, hanging the heads of more than a dozen deserters, using cruel military methods to silently warn the scattered tribes to surrender.

"Huh? When the Kingdom Legion arrived, Coyote City didn't surrender. How dare you resist? Coyote chief Ma Yakun, dare to refuse to persuade him to surrender? Or did his persuasion not work?"

With a serious expression on his face, Xiulot took Hei Lang's illustrated letter, read it carefully, and gradually frowned.

"The Kingdom Legion arrived, and all the tribes outside Coyote City obediently surrendered to the Alliance. The tribes in Coyote City originally sent envoys to discuss the matter of surrender, but they regretted it like a weed rat and elected a howling Mouse King, swear to resist to the end? It’s really like a mantis is like a chariot, he doesn’t know how to live or die!”

"Well, the specific situation, Hei Lang's letter is vague. It just guarantees that after the arrival of the artillery, within three days, the city-state will be captured and the recalcitrant chiefs, leaders and warriors in the city will be completely cleaned up."

Shulot suppressed his anger, carefully read it twice, and finally tasted something different.

"'Repent like a grass rat'. It seems that something went wrong during the negotiation process. With the character of the black wolf, it is probably because the surrender conditions are very harsh, which aroused the resistance of the city-state nobles' howling rat king '. It is estimated that a brave leader appeared in the city-state. He took this opportunity to preach the idea of ​​resistance and seized the chieftainship of the city-state. Well, it should be a combination of both!"

Holding the letter paper, Xiulot quickly deduced the hidden truth behind the vague words based on the aggressive character of the black wolf and the characteristics of the Totonac people's internal struggle for power. Afterwards, he shook his head, put away the letter paper, and sighed with emotion.

"The Totonac tribes have a long history and inherited the ancient culture of the Olmecs. Although they are not strong in force, they are more resilient than the Mayan tribes in the east. It should be the same!"

Hearing the king's emotion, the head of the guard, Eckart, lowered his eyes and said nothing. However, Shulot looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Eckart, how long do you think it will take for the army of the kingdom to completely conquer the land of Totonac and control the seashore for thousands of miles?"

"Patriarch, if the heroes of Totonac all stand up and stand in front of the kingdom's bronze beasts, that would be a good thing!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, spoke cautiously. He looked at the face of the king, and analyzed the letter he had just received from another angle.

"As long as this group of people dies, the resistance of the coastal tribes will disappear. Therefore, the more tenacious the resistance now, the easier and more stable the kingdom's governance will be in the future! Therefore, I think that the army will advance more slowly. It's not necessarily a bad thing. At least, it's better than hiding these people and showing up when the army leaves!"

"Oh? Eliminating the power of resistance will facilitate future rule, so it's a good thing instead?"

Hearing the chief guard's words, Shulot was slightly taken aback, his mind turned, and he laughed out loud.

"Haha! Eckart, what a mouth you have!"

"The Lord God testifies! Patriarch, I will answer truthfully and never dare to speak nonsense!"

"You, there is no problem with what you said, but avoid the serious and take the light."

Shulot shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand, patted Eckart on the shoulder, and asked again.

"I asked you just now, how long will it take for the kingdom's army to take control of this place? Answer truthfully!."

"Uh homeowner"

The king's palm patted lightly and landed on the guard's long shoulders, but it was like a falling Five Fingers mountain, calming down the monkey with exquisite seven orifices. The head of the guard, Eckart, opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally could only answer truthfully.

"Patriarch, if you want to conquer the thousands of miles of seaside and pacify the tribes of Totonac, you must lay down the core of resistance of the tribes in the east, the pillar of Totonac warrior spirit, the holy land of the East, Hidden Snake City! Snake City, at least the coastal tribes that stand in front of it must be wiped out, Coyote City, Carved Stone City, Jihu City, and Caotan City"

"The rainy season on the lowland coast is coming, heavy rain will hinder the advance of the army. Looking at the current situation, before this year's rainy season, no matter what, this goal cannot be achieved. And if everything goes well, before next year's rainy season, I think we will be able to capture Hidden Snake City !"

"Of course, if the kingdom can establish a powerful navy on the coast of the East China Sea, and transport food and troops along the coast. Then the conquest of the army will be able to overcome the obstacles of the jungle, and the process will be greatly accelerated!"

"Very good! This time I said it well! The rainy season in the tropical jungle, the climate of the navy along the coast of the East China Sea and the sea route are indeed two important points!"

Hearing this, Xiulot retracted his palm and nodded in satisfaction. He rubbed his chin, thinking about the situation of Donghai Shipyard. The Donghai Shipyard has just been established. It has only prepared wood and repaired some war canoes. It has not yet built the first long galley, and the scale still needs to be expanded! He also thought of the rebellion in the rear. The strict royal order had been passed down, and Bertard should have received the royal order. He didn't know how long it would take before the small group of rebels who harassed them were cleared away.

"Mountains and rainforests, scattered and fragmented terrain. Plateaus and lowlands, cultures of different origins. Without horses and fast ships, even with overwhelming military advantages, it is still difficult and slow to unify all tribes and conquer distant city-states!"

"Time is waiting! Right now, it is already the spring of 1490. The Moors on the peninsula really can't hold on for too long. And once the Moors surrender, the eyes of the Spanish bullfighting will look far away, looking for another object that can be killed .”

"Liangya's navigation technology is mature enough to cross the ocean and reach the vast America. At that time, even if there is no Columbus, there will be Melumbus. Even if you don't go to Central America first, you will go to the vast South America and North America. "

Thinking of this, Shulot pursed his lips, his expression was solemn, and his heart was slightly irritated. He silently looked towards the east, across the vast jungle, to the endless Caribbean Sea. It wasn't until the sun gradually set in the west that the sky was filled with blood red, and the king took big strides, turned and left.

"Let's go! It's getting dark, go back and have a good meal!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, followed quickly and reminded cautiously.

"Patriarch, reply letter to the head of the Black Wolf Army."

"Well, it's still the same as usual! Let him clean up the tribal city-state and hand it over to the priests who take over. It doesn't matter if you slow down, don't rush, don't rush in"

"Follow your will!"

"By the way, is the combing and reorganization of the various ministries of Jinwan City complete?"

"The head of the family, the 40,000 Jinwan tribe, has completed the sorting out. 20,000 young men and women under the age of 35 have been selected and reorganized into ten banner teams. Ten camps have been set up around Jinwan City These big camps are all under the jurisdiction of the seaside warriors who have been tested and surrendered the first time. As for the remaining 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, they will be divided into two groups and handed over to the original chieftains of the Jinwan tribe!"

"Very good! The noble chiefs of the Jinwan Department, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Hearing the king's seemingly random question, the head of the guard, Eckart, pondered and remained silent. The reorganization of the kingdom is very harsh, and the dissatisfaction of the leaders is almost countless! But the king's question at this moment, every word and sentence, is all about murder. And enough to meet this standard, then only
