"Yin Orosh, Gyeonggi County, governs the important areas of Gyeonggi. Yin Erwei, Hekou County, garrisoned the Hekou Fortress. The two large counties of Gyeonggi and Hekou are the foundation of the kingdom's direct administration. And the legions stationed in the two counties are also I won’t go out easily…”
"Beyond the two counties, all the other kingdom territories are set up with military envoys to develop and expand on their own! ... Lithospermum will conquer Etalik and conquer the southeast coast. Great Lakes will conquer Kuruka and open up the western Great Lakes area. Apajiedu will conquer the east coast. Zipan sent troops to the southwest coast. The Qingqiu Festival conquered Páramo and expanded the northern wilderness... plus the soon-to-be-established Coastal Festival to conquer the Eastern Maya... that is the Five Directions Festival, coming to conquer the kingdom! And they control these The important generals of the legion will also give me the confidence to face the God King Avitt!..."
The map of the world was spread out on the black wood desk, and a faint scent of incense was lit in the hall. Shulot stretched out his fingers and touched the mountains and rivers on the flat map. He also stared at the finely marked words and symbols, thinking about the future and possibilities of everything.
"The Colima Iron Mine, the Cuban Iron Mine, the Sacascarat Silver Mine, the Jinshan Gold Mine... these mineral deposits have been discovered but have not been developed... If there is a complete sea route connection, even the distant old continent, To carry out the much-needed trade, whether it is through the East China Sea or the West Sea...the vast reserves of precious metals in the world will continue to flow into the alliance to enhance the power of expansion!...Of course, the East China Sea will face far more colonists than the West Sea through the Arctic. , the Siberian tribes and clans in the country who try to communicate are much more dangerous!..."
"The management of the eastern coast is crucial! From Cuba to the land of the Maya, the layout of all this must be handed over to the warrior commander Bertard. I only believe in him!... Bertard served as commander of the coastal army and coastal festival for one year. Envoy, wait until the sea route to the land of Maya is opened, and then be promoted to the full-power Marshal of the East China Sea!"
"There must be at least three legions under the command of Marshal Donghai: Coastal Legion, Black Wolf Legion, and Donghai Navy. The next commander of Coastal Legion will be handed over to the artillery battalion commander Tupa. The Black Wolf Legion will continue to stay on the coast and cooperate with the expanded East China Sea. Together with the division, we will participate in the conquest of the Eastern Maya... As for Bertard's personal army... Well! Give him four thousand of my Guards Corps! It is not convenient for me to bring too many guards back to the capital in the lake..."
Shulot moved his fingers and crossed the thousands of miles of jungle in the east to the relabeled land of Maya.
According to Hei Lang's previous victory report, tens of thousands of Kingdom Legions have defeated Jihu City, attacked the Fireworks Sacred Mountain, and are approaching the Hidden Snake Holy City! After two or three years of conquest, more than one million Totonak tribes, and after more than 200,000 casualties, more than 600,000 tribes surrendered to the Kingdom of the Lake! As for the remaining 300,000 to 400,000 people, they are either deep in the inland mountains and forests, or gathered in the Hidden Snake Holy City area, making the final resistance.
"As long as the Hidden Snake Holy City is defeated, nearly a million Totonak tribes on this thousand-mile seaside can only surrender to the feet of the kingdom one after another! And the tens of thousands of Totonak warriors who have surrendered can also be Send your troops eastward to attack Maya!..."
"Totonac is a land of thousands of miles, with nearly a million tribes. Such a vast territory, such a large volume, is almost one-half of the kingdom! If we can successfully control the scattered and loose coastal tribes, then the kingdom's strength and potential , will suddenly grow, and have the foundation to continue to advance eastward... And this is why I do not hesitate to oppose Avitt, accept local tribal elites, intermarry with the descendants of the Totonak gods, and why I am eager to leave heirs! …”
Shulot lowered his eyes and returned to the seaside from the layout of the world. Compared with Black Wolf's conquest on the eastern seaboard, what he values more is the stability of the seaside land. And to completely stabilize the coastal tribes and bring the Totonac elites and warriors back...
"Well... didn't the doctor say that it will be just these two days?... I don't know if it will be a boy or a girl... But whether it is a boy or a girl, he will be the Lord of Totonac destined by the Lord God!..."
Shulot looked at the map and fell into long thoughts. It was not until nightfall that a personal guard came in a hurry and whispered a few words to the captain of the guard, Ekart. Then, the face of the guard captain Ekart suddenly showed joy and nervousness from the bottom of his heart!
"Master! The doctors in the royal palace have just received news!"
Eckart, the captain of the guard, bowed to the ground and solemnly reported back.
"Your side room, the snake girl Miava, is already in labor!..."
"What! Miava is in labor?!"
Hearing this, Shulot's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly. He dropped the paperwork in his hand and waved his hand without hesitation.
"Let's go! Eckart! Arrange the manpower, summon all the outstanding doctors, and come with me quickly!..."
The long night was accompanied by the luxurious candlelight that lasted day and night, as well as the labored moaning of tossing and turning. And when daylight broke, a crisp and clear cry finally sounded in the wooden house in the backyard!
"Wow! Wow!..."
"Your Highness! God bless you! She weighs a little more than six pounds and is a healthy princess!..."
In the spacious and comfortable wooden house, there are soft cloth beds. Miava was pale and smiling, lying weakly on the bed, weak and covered in sweat. When she heard that she had given birth to a daughter, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she even felt a little trembling and uneasy. And when she turned her head with difficulty and looked at the happy-looking king in the middle of the wooden house, she was startled, and she felt surprised and confused again.
"Princess? Daughter! My daughter? Haha! My first daughter!"
Shulot looked happy, stretched out his arms, and held his daughter in his arms very carefully. He looked at the pink, tender and wrinkled little baby girl, his eyes full of love and compassion. He looked at it carefully for a while, then lowered his head, sniffed it curiously, put it against his daughter's nose, and then couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
“…”
The little baby girl opened her eyes and stared blankly at her father in front of the meeting. Then, her mouth opened silently, and then she burst into tears!
"Wow! Wow wow!..."
"Hey! She actually opened her eyes, right after she was born! Haha! My eldest daughter will definitely be very smart when she grows up!..."
Looking at his daughter who was crying "Wow", Shulot laughed "haha", with some pride and satisfaction in his expression. He does not have the prejudice of this era. It would be great if he had a son, but now that he has a daughter, it is also very suitable for him! In the entire Central American world, although the number of female chiefs is not large, they still exist, unlike the East Asian countries where patriarchal inheritance is inherited and only male heirs are considered.
"Okay! Very good! The Lord God blessed me and gave me a lovely and smart eldest daughter!"
Shulot held his newborn daughter in his arms and raised his arms high. Seeing this action, everyone immediately bowed respectfully and obeyed the order in silence. Next, there will be the traditional naming session of the Mexican nobles. And through the name decided by the father, you can hear the weight of the child in the father's heart, and it also indicates the child's future status!
“The Lord God witnesses! The ancestors witness!…”
In front of everyone in the room, in front of the bowed guard captain Ekart, and the astonished snake girl Miava, Shulot looked solemn, held his daughter high, and declared loudly and solemnly.
"She is my daughter! She has my blood and the sacred snake blood of the seaside!..."
"She is the child of the sun and the giant snake. She was born on the morning of the last day of April and came with the dawn!... She inherits the divinity of the plateau and the seaside!..."
"And I have already decided on her divine name!"
"Her name is 'Xo·Ilhuitl·Tlalcoatl' (Xo·Ilhuitl·Tlalcoatl), 'the sun and the divine snake of the seaside', the light-fixing snake!..."
Well, I encountered some things recently and delayed the update. I apologize to the readers.
