"Black Wolf, Tupa, in the long-term political route of the kingdom, the management of the East China Sea is crucial! From the prairie of the great river of Koahuik in the north to the jungle coast of Huastec; from the thousand-mile seaside of Totonac, To the coast of the Oriental Maya; to the Snake Island of Cuba eight thousand miles away, and even the more distant Great Lakes Islands...this vast area of more than ten thousand miles is the so-called land of the East China Sea! And this channel connected by sea, It is the interest line for the kingdom’s eastern expansion and the lifeline for the future of all tribes in the world!…”
People were boating on the lake, the water reflected the mountains, and mountains stood in the east. Shulot looked to the east, looking very far away, as if he could see the end of the Caribbean Sea, those lush and wealthy islands.
The kingdom's political groups have expanded and spread throughout Central America. And as he returns to the capital in the lake, all the power of conquest from all directions will be handed over to the generals. At this critical moment, he needs to clearly tell everyone and propose the kingdom's general political line, so as to unify everyone's ideas and goals under a clear banner! And the "flag" he chose was the "expansion" of the kingdom and the "unification" of the world!
"The monkey Kuruca sat for me on the Great Lake Chapala and set out to conquer the lower reaches of the Leman River; the miner Ezpan swore an alliance with the tribes of Colima for me and brought peace to the coast of North Tekos; the veteran Etalik controlled the Talsas River for me. Downstream, conquer the coast of Trapanic; the poet Parramo recruits for me the tribes of the wasteland and controls the upper wasteland of the tributaries of the Tampon River..."
Having said this, Shulot looked at the two generals, held the right hands of Black Wolf and Tupa, and solemnly entrusted them.
"Black Wolf, Tupa, God bless you! I will leave the conquest of the East China Sea to Bertard and you!"
"When the warrior commander Bertard captures Yunshe Mountain City, he will lead four thousand guards, half of the guard army, to Golden Bay City. He will become the first seaside governor and form Totonak The seaside legion composed of warriors also serves as the first seaside legion commander! Well, Tupa, you lead the artillery battalion and serve as the deputy commander of the seaside legion. Then, the army will drive tens of thousands of surrendered Totonak tribe warriors, without stopping, Continue the expedition to the Mayan Riviera!"
"According to the map of the exploration fleet, the eastward expedition to the Maya Coast will be divided into three stages, namely the Central Maya Coast, the Lowland Maya West Coast, and the Lowland Maya East Coast... I will only give the strategy for the first phase of the expedition, the Central Maya Coast. Conquest. As for the remaining lowland Mayan coast, it depends on the specific situation, and it is up to Bertard and you to decide!..."
Shulot unfolded the leather scroll map he carried with him. It was densely packed with Mayan maps that he carefully drew based on the memories of later generations and reports from the East China Sea exploration fleet. He stretched out his hand, first pointed at Hidden Snake City, and then rowed eastward to the Puton tribes on the southern side of the Yucatan Peninsula, and drew a circle at Prairie City.
"The first stage is to level the central Mayan coast of more than a thousand miles, from the Hidden Snake City of the Totonac people to Chakanputum of the Puton tribe, which is the 'prairie city' among the Mayans! There are many small city-states and villages, including Red Lake Town and Xiancun, but there are no particularly large city-states or tribal alliances... This also means that there is no powerful force that can resist the kingdom's army..."
“This vast central coast has tribes of various sizes along the way, which have both the cultural characteristics of the Olmecs and the Mayans, and some of the plateau culture brought by the Toltecs’ eastern expeditions. They conquered the plateau. The level of resistance should be much weaker than that of the ancient lowland Maya tribes... and the Puton tribes, who are half hunting and half farming, and are called "barbarians" by the lowland Maya, can also be conquered and driven by the kingdom. The tribal power heading north!…The previous exploration fleet has made a good start for the kingdom and established good trade links with a powerful Puton tribal chief…”
Having said this, Shulot paused for a moment. He looked at the two generals who were his personal guards and gave serious instructions.
"The black wolf, Tupa, conquers the Mayan Coast in the east. There are two key points in it! The first point is to continuously organize an army of servants from the newly conquered areas to bear casualties, maintain logistics, and leave the town. Then, Through faith conversion, military merit conferment, and vanguard selection, reliable local armies were established step by step from the conquered city-states and tribes, and from the surrendered servant armies..."
"So, in the next step of the eastern expedition, the surrendered Totonac warriors will assume the responsibility of the main fighting force and entrust them to the newly conquered territory! And the war against the Mayan coast in the east will be the expansion of the east. , is also the best way to digest and integrate the samurai from all the coastal tribes..."
"The first stage of the conquest lasted until the initial acceptance, alliance, and even surrender of the Puton tribes. These semi-hunting Puton tribes are a good source of servants! Those tribes that number in the tens of thousands and are accustomed to fighting Ding Zhuang, like the wilderness tribes, obeys the tradition of powerful tribes. If they can accept the recruitment and driving of the kingdom, they will be the best help to conquer the lowland Maya!..."
"As for the second key point in conquering the Mayan coast, it is to form a strong enough East China Sea navy to completely suppress the city-states along the coast and even the Mayan emirates!"
"To maintain these thousands of miles of coast, maintain the city-states and fortresses of various kingdoms, and supply the frontline army for conquest... land transportation in the coastal jungle is definitely not enough!... We must have a powerful East China Sea Navy! And in In the near future, this East China Sea Navy will encounter more difficult challenges and opportunities, those white-skinned enemies coming from the sea..."
Shulot reached out his hand, patted Black Wolf's shoulder gently, and comforted him with a smile.
"Therefore, if the naval commander of Hidden Snake City can surrender with his fleet and shipwrights, it will help strengthen the kingdom's navy... For the sake of the kingdom's expansion route, we need to forgive his guilt and accept his surrender! As for whether this person can be used and to what extent...it depends on whether he is smart and whether he can follow the same path as us!..."
"There are many heroes in the world, and there are also many heroes from various tribes! If you want to conquer the world, you must give these heroes from each tribe a chance to integrate into the kingdom, display their skills, and eat the pie of power! Just like Guakili in the wilderness The tribes were once our enemies and caused us a lot of trouble. But now, they are the sharpest blades in the hands of the kingdom, and they are also the most capable pack of wolves!…"
"Witness the Lord God! Although I am from the Mexica royal family, I see all the people in the world without any bias. If the heroes of the world are willing to be used by me, go with me, or even be in my pocket... I will treat them equally and work with them. They eat pie together!…Black Wolf, Tupa, you need to do the same!”
"Because, the power that the kingdom can put into the seashore is actually limited. And you need to expand more and more powerful force yourself! At this point, I will not restrict you in the slightest, and you can go and fight for me as much as you like. The pack of wolves!…”
This long-term plan and commitment made Hei Lang and Tupa's eyes sparkle, like alpha wolves hunting in the dark. The "Wolf King" Shulot smiled and held the hair of the "lead wolves", loosened the restraining "reins", and made a generous promise.
"As long as the first stage of the conquest of the Mayan Coast is completed and the thousands of miles of central Maya are controlled, the warrior chief Bertard will be promoted to Marshal of the East China Sea, a prince of the alliance! And Tupa, you will take over the Coastal Legion and succeed the Coastal Army. Legion commander, in charge of military affairs on the Totonac coast!…”
"Ah? Your Highness! I...I will take over the Coastal Legion? Ah this!"
Hearing this, Artillery Battalion Commander Tupa's young face showed incredible surprise at first, then full of joy and excitement, and then some fear...
"Witness the Lord God! Your Highness, I am still young and my qualifications are not deep enough... There are still so many veterans in the kingdom..."
"Haha! Tupa, what? Don't you have the confidence to control the seaside army for me and manage the seaside land well?..."
"Ah! I do! Your Highness, I am confident! I am definitely familiar with the situation in the seaside land after fighting in the past few years... As for the legion of Totonak warriors, I am also confident that I can lead it well!..."
"Very good, God bless you! As a young general, you should have such confidence and fighting spirit! Tupa, you are my own personal guard, and I have never had any doubts about your loyalty. Now I have chosen you, you If you have such ability, you will definitely do it for me!…”
Xiulote was categorical and gave the "appointment" to the artillery battalion commander Tupa. Then, he looked at Hei Lang, who had a calm expression and seemed to have expected it. A hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Eh? My smart black wolf, you have already guessed it?"
"Exactly!"
Black Wolf raised his head and answered confidently.
"Your Highness, I, the black wolf Toltec, am smarter than the hairless bald Maya. I have already guessed your thoughts!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xiulote raised his brows and suddenly understood.
"It turns out it's you! Mayan merchant Tikalo, you cunning old fox, told Black Wolf this...I'm afraid Black Wolf is willing to accept the enemy's surrender because of you..."
Shulot's mind turned and he saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He smiled, reached out his hand, and rubbed the black wolf's head affectionately.
"Okay! My general, my black wolf! You are so smart, you should have expected... The position I left for you is to go two thousand miles away, take charge of the military affairs of various countries, and become the governor of the Mayan land. Let’s do it!…”
"Ah! What! Two thousand miles away, Maya...Maya Jiedushi?"
Black Wolf Toltec's confident expression froze in an instant. His pupils dilated in shock and his mouth opened, like an incredible Arctic bulldog, a ferocious big husky.
"Yes! The Mayan Jiedushi, the chief in charge of Mayan military affairs!"
Xiuluo nodded and his eyes became dark. He spoke quietly, his voice was calm and low, but there seemed to be boundless blood rushing towards his face.
"Blessed by the Lord God! If you want to conquer the Mayan tribes with ancient inheritance, devout beliefs, inherent nobility, and solidified classes... you will always have to kill enough descendants of the gods, sacrifice enough nobles, shed enough blood, and burn them Enough temples... until all the old order is broken and all the traditional resistance collapses, then we can do it!..."
"So, Black Wolf, let go! Bring peace to the Mayan states along the coast for me, and let them all convert to the Lord God! No matter how you kill, it is the necessary price for unification..."
