"Drive out the Western barbarians and welcome the Mongolian king. When the Mongolian king comes, he will not pay rent. When the Mongolian king comes, he will not pay for food. When the Mongolian king comes, he will divide the fields and discipline the Indians. They are all happy..."
In New Spain, the small town of Kusala, a hundred miles southeast of Curia Castle, had raised the flag of Quetzalcoatl flying high at this time, and countless Indians sang "Welcome the King of Meng" of songs.
The location of the city of Cusala can be regarded as the hinterland of the New Andalucia colony, because Curia Castle and another mountain town of Canelas, a hundred miles northeast of it, are located on the western slopes of the endless Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains. The city of Kusala has been in a state of tranquility in the past two years. Even though King Montezuma began to surround the castle in the countryside, the area around Kusala City was still relatively stable.
Because there is a process of mobilizing Indian farmers and serfs to fight against the old wealth of Spanish landlords. It is impossible to say that they will divide the land and fight against "banya" today, and tomorrow the entire colony of New Andalusia will explode.
This is impossible! Landlords had to fight one by one, and the land had to be divided piece by piece. The struggle between the devil and God was full of difficulties and twists and turns, and could not be solved overnight. Therefore, before the Spanish Royal Army led by Lieutenant General Eugen arrived at Curia Castle, the Aztec base had not yet developed outside Cusala City. After the arrival of Lieutenant General Eugen, the Aztec's "rural siege of the castle" movement inevitably entered a low ebb.
The base areas around Kuria Castle have been completely destroyed. How can there be any remaining energy to develop towards Kusala City? Therefore, the white-skinned masters and Catholic priests in Kusala City are relatively stable. It wasn't until the news that the mountain city of Canelas was destroyed by "one hundred thousand Aztec warriors" led by King Montezuma reached the city of Kusala that the masters in the city began to become nervous.
The city of Canelas is a mountain city garrisoned by a battalion of the Spanish Royal Army, and is one of the peripheral fulcrums of Curia Castle. Because it is built on a mountain, the terrain is quite dangerous, and the surrounding Indian villages have also been washed away by Lieutenant General Eugen's Spanish Imperial Army... Logically speaking, there will be no Indians who surrender to the devil. Internal response.
But such a strong mountain city was broken by the Aztec army after a day of fighting! The Spaniards and mixed-race white people in the city who did not want to "conform to the devil" all went to see God - King Montezuma himself was a mixed-race Indian (looking the same as a white man), and he was also the predecessor of the "abandonment of Jesus and the devil". Catholic. Therefore, he was not as cruel to Baipi and mixed-race people as Shang people like Zhou Peigong, but he still allowed them to betray God and "follow the devil" together.
As long as you drink the "blood wine", kowtow to the "devil", burn the Bible and other things, and accept the "Summary of the Five Books and Seven Classics" given by King Montezuma himself, you can follow King Montezuma to "all ethnic republic”.
But these whites and mestizo whites who "abandoned the devil" could not continue to retain their land, serfs, and slaves... because according to the Aztec legal system, whites and mestizo whites owned in New Spain The land, serfs, and slaves were all illegally occupied.
Such conditions for "obeying the devil" are not acceptable to the white men and mixed-race white men in Kusala City... They have sold their souls to the devil. How can the devil deprive them of their sacred and inviolable rights? What about private property?
However, these white men and mixed-race white men did not improvise and start training and deploying troops... Instead, they decisively came to "go north to fight against the devil"!
They didn't "flee from the devil", they fled south. The rich men and high-ranking priests in Kusala City all took the property they had looted over the years and headed north to Curia Castle to "fight the devil." "In the name of Lieutenant General Eugen and Cardinal de la Magala.
So when King Montezuma's army arrived in Kusala, the only people who greeted him were Indian serfs and farmers who were waiting for rent-free, tax-free, and land distribution.
Amidst the cheers and singing of the Indian farmers and serfs who were looking forward to dividing their fields, they saw King Montezuma riding his horse, surrounded by a group of Aztec tiger warriors. I saw him wearing a green cloth cross-collar robe, riding an Andalusian ocean horse, wearing a white felt hat that looked a bit like a poached egg on his head, and a red cloak on his back, blowing in the Pacific Ocean The flowers are fluttering in the sea breeze, giving them a special look. Behind him, there was a burly Aztec tiger warrior riding a big horse, holding a big red flag in his hand. This large flag has a tassel made of snow-white horsehair and a steel spear tip that shines silver. In the center of the flag is a large Chinese character "Meng" embroidered on black satin.
The Aztec king is in a particularly happy mood today! When he led his army to leave the Gate of Hell, he was still a little uneasy. After all, there were only 25,000 people, while the Kuria Fort opposite might have 50,000 people. If Lieutenant General Eugen led his troops out for a decisive battle, he would have no confidence... Montezuma knew Eugen and knew that this little general was a ruthless man.
Despite his small stature and good reincarnation, in the war against the Tianfang cultists, he was famous for taking the lead and daring to fight! If he were made aware of the reality of Montezuma's troops, he would definitely lead his army out for a decisive battle.
If Montezuma's army was stationed at the gates of Canelas or Kusala, the little man Eugen would most likely lead his army to rush forward for a decisive battle.
Therefore, Montezuma must quickly capture these two cities, and then coerce the Indians there to march southward and get rid of Lieutenant General Eugen's army, so as to get out of danger.
Now, he has arrived at Kusala City, but Eugen von Savoy's army is still in Curia Castle.
Montezuma felt relieved at the thought that he had gotten rid of Eugen. So the Aztec king let the reins go and slowly walked into the gate of Kusala City amid the cheers of the crowd, and then headed for the square where the city hall and church are located.
More Indians have gathered in the square. Some are Indians in Kusala City, some are elders in the Indian villages around Kusala City, and some are serfs in white manors... Everyone has made the greatest determination to prepare. He betrayed God and Spain, and then followed King Montezuma to divide the land and live a "hell-like" life!
Although everyone knows that the Aztec Kingdom next door to the New Andalucia Colony is "hell"! But most of them also know that although people in "hell" will lose their souls, they will get land, food and clothing, equality and dignity - hell is true, but everyone's life is getting more and more prosperous!
Because the Aztecs were backed by the Shang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and they were also backed by the Pacific Ocean and had good ports. Therefore, this little "hell" does not have to worry about being excluded from the civilized world by the Spanish Empire. It is impossible for the Spanish Empire to use sanctions and embargoes to cause the Aztec Kingdom to lose important handicraft products such as ironware, cloth, and porcelain.
Moreover, under the arrangement of the Shang Lingyin Mansion, trade routes were opened between Fugui Bay, Guimen Pass and the Holy Palace. It also allowed the merchant ships of the Dutch East India Company and the Ming Dynasty to go to Guimen Pass and the Holy Palace to do business on their own.
Therefore, the production of the Aztec Kingdom was not affected in any way by its separation from the Spanish Empire. On the contrary, it increased due to the land reform and trade with the Shangfang Kingdom.
Moreover, there are some small gold and silver mines on the Aztec land, which produce a unique wine, and they also raise many sheep and Andalusian horses.
Therefore, the Aztec king could maintain expenses by collecting mineral taxes, wine taxes, sheep and horse taxes, and confiscated Spanish manor owners' floating wealth, so he could also keep his promise of "no food and no rent." The gold, silver, wine, sheep, and Andalusian horses he received were all needed by the Shang Kingdom in the north. Therefore, the Aztecs do not lack international payment capabilities and can maintain relatively prosperous trade.
In addition, although the Aztec blood in the veins of Aztec King Montezuma is very thin, his paternal ancestor is still the Aztec Emperor Montezuma II, and his country is also under the guise of liberating the Indians. Only then did the human flag rise. So when he became the Queen of the Aztecs, he really implemented the national liberation policy of "republic of all ethnic groups" in the country.
The Indians, or Aztecs, are now no longer fifth- or sixth-class people, but upright first-class people!
And such an Aztec country with average land, free trade, extremely low taxes, and ethnic equality, in the eyes of New Spain's first-class European whites, second-class American whites, and third-class mixed-race non-whites, there is no doubt that it is Hell!
And this hell is still moving, moving slowly but firmly towards the location of Emperor Leopold of the Spanish Empire at an average speed of three to five miles per day!
"People of Aztec!" King Montezuma finally stopped in the center of the municipal square, then rode on a tall horse and began to deliver a speech to the people who were looking forward to a happy life in hell. "Thank you for your kindness to me and Aztec." The support of the Aztec Kingdom... At this moment, I want to assure you once again that the Aztec Kingdom will ensure that every male adult citizen, regardless of his skin color, will receive a piece of cake that is enough Let him and his family get land for food and clothing, and as long as he takes on the responsibility of a man to defend the country, he exempts the owner of the land from paying the corresponding taxes. This will be a large enough tax-free land. land!"
"Montezuma! Montezuma! Montezuma..."
The Indians who were already "in hell" were excited and all gave the highest cheers.
Montezuma waved his hands to signal everyone to stop making noise and continue listening to his speech.
The people quickly became quiet, and King Montezuma raised his voice again and said in a firm tone: "But please forgive me, I can't give you the land right now... because I oppose the Spanish Empire's invasion. The war has not yet been won! Our enemies are still trying to exterminate our country, seize our land again, and kill every Aztec who pursues freedom and happiness!
If I give you the land around Cusala right away, then as soon as my army leaves here, the Spanish army from Curia Castle will come over immediately...kill, burn, and rob us all. everything! If we want us and our descendants to live forever in peace and happiness on this land that originally belonged to our ancestors, and no longer be enslaved by those invaders from Europe who exercise tyranny in the name of God, we must now Take up arms and fight alongside our ancient Aztec allies, the Merchant and the Inca, to drive Emperor Leopold and his armies from the lands of the New World. So we cannot stay in Kusala and spend several years besieging the castle of Curia. We must march to Mexico City immediately... We must liberate Mexico City before the troops hired by Leopold in Europe arrive, which is the true home of our Aztecs!
I promise that when we liberate the prosperous, wealthy, gold and silver Valley of Mexico, I will give you the most fertile land there! You and your descendants will become the masters of Mexico! "
In the New World in the 17th century, no one would yearn for America - because this country did not exist yet! But there is no one who does not yearn for Mexico - Mexico City was the lighthouse and the city on the top of the American continent in the 17th century!
When they heard that they could get Mexico's "green card" and industries in the Valley of Mexico, everyone in the square became excited. "Hit Mexico!" the slogan was shouted so loudly that even people outside the city could hear it clearly!
...
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor, hell is coming!"
In the Grand Palace in Mexico City, Emperor Leopold, who was struggling with a plate of Mexican-style food, suddenly heard his attendant Ludwig report a very shocking bad news.
Hell is coming!
The emperor didn't know what to say all of a sudden, he was as dumb as a tree. His third wife, Eleonore Magdalene Therese, reacted faster. She immediately put down her knife and fork and asked in a majestic voice: "Ludwig, what are you talking about?"
He was very young and very handsome. Even Ludwig, the valet who didn't speak very clearly, knew that he had made a mistake when the queen said that. He hurriedly gasped for breath while running all the way. The emperor and queen who were dining saluted, and then explained: "Dear Queen, according to the order issued by His Majesty the Emperor a few days ago, all attendants and ministers in the Grand Palace should call the Aztec Dynasty the Kingdom of Hell. The Shang Kingdom was called the kingdom of devils.
Just now, I received an urgent military report from someone sent by the Military Commission. The report stated that the Aztec King Montezuma had captured the city of Cusala...but he did not stay there for too long. , but three days later, he led all the Indians there to continue southward and approached Mexico City. Moreover, he also ordered people to burn down the city of Kusala and all nearby villages and manors! "
