Chapter 169: The Ancient Empire of the Americas
America, America.
In the past few years, Zhu Bo has not put too much attention on it, and has been in a natural state of development.
At this time, the American continent is entering into a transformation.
In other words, as the change of civilization.
Originally, the core of civilization in the entire Americas was the Mayan civilization.
In the past thousands of years, legends and myths have been shaped in this continent.
But civilization has a sentence, and naturally it also declines. At this moment, it has come to the end of the post-classical era. During this period, city-states such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal rose in the north, and culture gradually declined.
Maya has never had a unified and powerful empire like civilizations such as China and ancient Egypt. The Mayan region in its heyday was divided into hundreds of city-states. However, Mayan states belong to the same cultural circle in terms of language, writing, religious beliefs and customs. .
Naturally, it will not be the same in its heyday, but when it is in decline, it is inevitable that it will fall apart.
In 1325 the Aztecs established Tenochtitlan, a huge artificial island, and an existence called the Aztec Empire began to appear on the American continent.
developing over decades.
The Aztec Empire was undoubtedly at its peak.
Under the aegis of religion, the Aztec economy developed by leaps and bounds. Economic development further promoted the development of Aztec education, scientific research, astronomy, calendar, writing, and art.
Unsurprisingly, their heyday will continue for hundreds of years, until the arrival of invaders from the other side of the Atlantic, this glorious civilization was finally destroyed by the hands of the Spanish colonists, and the history of the Aztec development was interrupted by the middle.
But this is destined to be the story of the past.
It is no longer the story of America today.
Although Daxia did not enter the Americas as an invader.
But for the natives of the entire American continent, the results were not much better.
A large number of gathering points were established on the American continent.
This directly affects the living space of the Native Americans.
Even constantly oppressing their living space.
And even more terrifying for these Native Americans.
They can't win.
This is from the seaside people, with incredibly powerful weapons, and a huge population.
First the tribe was destroyed in the attack.
Although Zhu Bo would not take the initiative to attack those tribes, at least most of the time he would not, but if these tribes took the initiative to attack him, then the only option was to destroy.
Town centers were erected one by one.
At the same time, the expansion is constantly spreading.
From the west coast of America, it has been spreading towards the interior of the continent.
The expansion based on the town center can be said to be steady.
There will be no problems.
Today, the population of Daxia in the Americas is as high as one million.
Over the years, with continuous accumulation, this population can be said to be not in the minority.
Coupled with the continuous drainage into some Native Americans, the actual population has approached two million.
At this moment, his goal was fixed on the Aztec Empire.
In today's American continent, the most critical problem is the problem of the three major civilizations.
If the three major civilizations cannot be completely solved, then Daxia will have a big problem if he wants to rule the American continent.
After all, what a continent needs is just one civilization, not countless civilizations.
The American continent is now regarded as the three major civilizations standing, the Mayan civilization that began to decline, the Aztec civilization that is rising, and the Inca civilization.
The Aztec civilization inherited the foundation of the Mayan civilization, and has now spread to the entire Central America, as well as a large part of North and South America, and the Inca civilization has already begun to expand at this moment.
Near the end of the 14th century, the Inca Empire began to expand from the Cusco region of the South Andes Mountains in South America, and now it has spread over more than half of South America.
The Inca Empire may also have started as a small kingdom, no different from many of the small kingdoms around the Andes in the fourteenth century. Ultimately, the Inca Empire became a powerful state centered on the future HUARI near Ayacucho, the Peruvian Republic, extending to the north of Cusco.
Since then, a three-legged situation has been formed.
Initially, Zhu Bo did not focus on the three major civilizations.
That is America needs a certain accumulation.
Before there were only tens of thousands of people, it was almost impossible to annex the entire Americas.
Although there are only millions of people today, there is no way.
Yet it was enough to take action.
For example, defeat the Aztec civilization first.
The army is gathering everywhere in the stronghold.
This time Zhu Bo's goal is to completely defeat the Aztec Empire.
And he also has the ability and confidence.
The American continent, the southern part, maybe he has not been confident enough to invade.
But the north and the middle have been completely spread by him.
This time, the army dispatched 50,000 people to directly attack Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.
50,000 people, this is no longer a small-scale army.
And this time, Zhu Bo also brought a hundred artillery pieces, enough to ignite the first cannon fire from the age of thermal weapons in this new continent.
Tenochtitlan, since 1325, the Aztecs have built a city on the swamp island in the south of Lake Texcoco, connected to the mainland by three 10-meter-wide dirt roads, and supplied with water by stone cisterns. Many altar temples and pyramids. In the 1520s, the imperial capital had an area of 13 square kilometers and a population of 300,000, making it one of the largest cities in the world at that time.
Now Tenochtitlan has a population of 100,000, and it is one of the few big cities in the entire American continent.
When Zhu Bo sent troops, the people of the Aztec Empire naturally noticed it.
After all, Zhu Bo hardly had any cover.
"Ara, as I said, don't mess with people at the seaside."
"They are the gods from the God's Domain. You have angered them, and the Aztec Empire will suffer unprecedented destruction."
A minister opened his mouth, with a panic in his expression.
"Malesit, it's not about this, but they have come to attack us.
・・・ Flowers・・・
"We have to stop those greedy seasiders."
"Gods, no, they are not gods, but demons from hell, and the great sun will surely lead us to defeat the demons of hell.
Another figure spoke immediately.
"No, no, you stupid guy, you don't know that they are powerful enough to destroy our country and the existence of our land."
"Malesit, are you frightened?"
"We have the favor of the sun gods, and they cannot defeat the Veil.35
In the temple, he fell into a quarrel for a while, and this kind of quarrel spreads.
High Priest, eyes closed.
The tortoise shell in his hand fell.
Everything in the Aztec civilization was dominated by religion, and the high priest was undoubtedly the highest existence.
When the tortoise shell fell, the entire hall fell into silence at this moment.
Countless eyes converged on the high priest, waiting and waiting.
"King, the sun god told us that it was a demon from the west, they were about to invade our homeland, and they had to destroy them.
...0
The voice of the high priest resounded in the hall.
In an instant, the eyes of countless people in the entire hall suddenly became red.
The war also kicked off at this moment.
History changed at this moment.
It seems like it hasn't changed.
Around 1518, some Spanish colonists heard some information about the Aztec Empire on the coast of Mexico. Velasquez, the Spanish governor in Cuba, yearned for that paradise full of gold, and decided to send Cortes as the The captain conquered Mexico, and the Aztec Empire came to an end.
Today, more than 100 years ago, history has once again entered this interesting turning point.
Only compared with the destruction of European civilization, the arrival of Chinese civilization may not be a simple destruction.
Just like the Native Americans who have entered the Great Summer.
After they have received education and reform through labor, they will be qualified and honored to become a great Daxia people.
The same is true of these ancient kingdoms.
It's just that before they want to join, the faith must be destroyed, otherwise, the harm caused is too great.
Even Zhu Bo is not willing to bear such a big hidden danger.
in the jungle.
The people of the Aztec Empire began to harass the army.
However, to no avail, the Daxia army with a map could detect an enemy approaching almost every time.
Wave after wave of interceptions were defeated.
The army directly pushed past.
The small tribes along the way are either silent or destroyed.
Of course you can also escape.
If there is still time.
The 50,000-strong army is mighty, and because it is a system soldier, it does not even need to consider environmental issues.
This is an existence that ordinary humans cannot match.
Ordinary Chinese people, even if they are deliberately protected, will die because of unacceptable conditions and even miasma.
But system characters will not.
They have an unimaginable adaptation to the environment, even if they stepped into the Americas from Asia, they are also like this.
