Chapter 633 Eldorado
In late August of the Jiazi year of the Ming Dynasty, Mingzhou, Mexica Valley, and Shenzhou City.
The valley where the Sun Pyramid and the Moon Pyramid are located is now called Shenzhou City. As the name suggests, it is a city belonging to God. This god is the only god!
According to the joint verification of the one-armed Taoist Yang Aguo and the Zhuangyuan Gongwen Tianxiang, these two pyramids and the surrounding temples were not built by the indigenous people in the Mexica Valley. Such a magnificent stone building may not be built by the Chinese people, let alone the natives in the Mexica Valley? They don’t even have bronze vessels or even wheels, and they are all uncivilized indigenous people. How could they build such a huge pyramid?
So these two pyramids must belong to the Chinese civilization!
Wen Tianxiang believed that the two pyramids should be left over from the ancient civilization established after Xu Fu led 500 boys and girls to cross the ocean to Mingzhou. Yang Aguo believed that one of these two pyramids represents the sun and the other represents the moon, which is in line with the symbolic sun and the moon emblem of Taiyi God, so it must have been built by Taiyi God with divine power...
Although the two people's statements are almost nonsense, Meng Qi believed that the two pyramids should be used to install gods, so he named the castle built on the pyramids Shenzhou City. Wen Tianxiang and Yang A also asked Wen Tianxiang to go over and tell the natives of the Mexica Valley. These two pyramids were built by ancestors of the Chinese gods in accordance with the oracle of Taiyi God!
Mengqi and others returned to this place according to the will of God of Taiyi and became the ruler of this place! Therefore, the natives of the Mexica Valley must obey and devote all the corn, turkey and "God's feces".
Oh, "God's stool" is gold! The gold in Nava means "God's stool". All city-states in the Mexican Valley use this most easily obtained (gold is probably the first metal used by humans) metal for sacrificial vessels rather than currency (cocoa beans are the hard currency of the Mexican Valley and Mayan city-states). Therefore, they are concentrated in the hands of sacrificial priests in the upper class of each city-state, because years of accumulation is likely to have accumulated since the Olmek civilization period more than two thousand years ago.
Just when Jia Sidao, a treacherous minister of the Song Dynasty, was determined to use the method of squeezing Tiandaozhuang to block Chen Dexing from raising war funds to extend the reign of the Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang, a loyal and kind person in the Song Dynasty, was plundering "the defecation of the gods" for Chen Dexing everywhere.
Under the mild autumn sunshine, a team of people and cars are moving slowly.
High-tech things like wheels have been brought to Mingzhou by the "Chinese Gods", but the livestock pulling the carts are unknown. North American bison is still freely galloping on the prairie. No one tamed them. The auspicious beast, grass, mud horses are raised by people in Nanmingzhou, but there is no such animal in the Mexica Valley. The only two animals that are tamed by people in Mexica are dogs and turkeys.
So now the only one who can pull the cart is the strong Indian Eight Banners soldiers. The number of Eight Banners soldiers has increased to 20,000. There are also 10,000 female slaves from various city-states in Mexican, who were assigned to the "Old Eight Banners" who went south from Jinshan City and became their wives. Of course, these women also received military training and were equipped with obsidian spears with bows and arrows. When their husbands went to war, they were female warriors of Taiyi God.
Wen Tianxiang's favorite disciple Xia Xuedao now has a fixed wife. However, he did not work hard to create the little Eight Banners with his new wife, but accompanied Wen Tianxiang to search for gold and silver everywhere.
"Sir, this time I have gained a lot, King Ming will definitely be happy, right?" Xia Xuedao looked at the long convoy around him. Each cart was piled with gold and silver vessels or statues of gods of low purity. They were dedicated to the various city-states in the Mexican Valley to Chen Dexing, the representative of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, on earth.
Wen Tianxiang, who was sitting on a slide pole carrying four people, nodded slightly and said disdainfully: "He will definitely be happy. He sent people across the sea, wouldn't he just want to do these yellow and white things?"
The yellow and white thing was not in Wen Zhuangyuan's eyes, but it stumped his actions. After helping to "educate" 20,000 slaves in the Mexican Valley, he went to the city-states in the Mexican Valley to ask for gold and silver under the protection of the eight thousand Indian Eight Banners soldiers.
At this time, there were many city-states in the Mexica Valley, but they were not large in scale. The population was not large. On average, a city-state had tens of thousands of people. The sum of forty city-states was two or three million, which was not a decimal. However, each city-state alone had no power to fight against the eight thousand Indian Eight Banners soldiers. There was no way except to hand over gold and silver obediently. Therefore, Wen Zhuangyuan's journey was indeed very smooth, and the gold and silver extorted were enough to reach the mountains of gold and silver.
However, getting rich was not Wen Tianxiang's ideal. What he thought was to spread the teachings of Confucius and Mencius to the barbarians in Mingzhou. Therefore, he taught the seventy-two Indians. But now, the seventy-two Indians had no interest in continuing to learn Confucian classics after learning a little bit of the superficiality. They either became the officers of the Eight Banners of the Indians. They also began to learn to be charlatans with Yang Aguo.
As for the new disciples, although I have taken some more, I am busy working as an envoy for me. I don’t have much time to teach my knowledge. It seems a bit difficult to spread this Confucian Taoist tradition in Mingzhou.
In addition to spreading Confucianism, another thing Wen Tianxiang wanted to do was to complete a global trip. First go to Maya, then see the Atlantic Ocean with your own eyes, and then find a way to Flynn and Tianzhu... If you have the chance, you can also spread the saint's traditions to the land of Flynn and Tianzhu.
But judging from the meaning of Mengqi, he wanted to conquer the surroundings of Mexica first and then send troops to Maya.
Wen Tianxiang sighed and looked up at the tall pyramid in the distance. Shenzhou City is coming soon. I hope I can stay in Shenzhou City for a longer time this time. If I can teach a few disciples who are knowledgeable about Confucianism, I can also go to Flynn with peace of mind.
In addition, you can't go to Flynn alone. If possible, it's better to bring some Indian scholars and hundreds of Indian Eight Banners soldiers.
...
"Mr. Wenshan! You are back!"
Wen Tianxiang was sitting on the slide pole and arrived at the gate of Shenzhou City, and saw Meng Qi and a few Han people dressed in Taoism strode towards him. Seeing these Han people dressed in Taoism, Wen Tianxiang was a little stunned because these people did not arrive at the Mingzhou continent with him.
"Mr. Wenshan, good news... His Highness Ming has revived the Central Plains!"
Before Wen Tianxiang could react, Meng Qi threw out the second important news. "In December last year, Kublai Khan was defeated in the Battle of Julu and evacuated from the Central Plains to flee to the Western Regions! Now the Central Plains is in the world of tomorrow!"
The Ming Dynasty won the Central Plains! Wen Tianxiang heard this news, but he was mixed with joy. He was happy that the Central Plains was revived, the barbarians went west, and the Han people were saved. He was worried that... The Ming Dynasty won the Central Plains, and since ancient times, those who won the Central Plains won the world! The Ming Dynasty was finally a Han Chinese. If the Ming Dynasty got the Central Plains, is there any need for the Song Dynasty to survive?
"Daoren Liu, this is Wenwenshan, the top scholar in the Song Dynasty! He was determined to promote Confucianism in Mingzhou, and set up academies in Jinshan City and Shenzhou City. He taught Indian scholars to read the scriptures of Confucius and Mencius, and now he has more than a hundred disciples."
Meng first praised Wen Tianxiang for a long time and introduced Wen Tianxiang to a leading Taoist. Then he pointed to the Taoist and said to Wen Tianxiang: "Mr. Wenshan, this Taoist, whose surname is Liu, is Min, and whose name is Duanfu, is a Taoist with the second Mingzhou expedition team. They arrived in Jinshan in June. They encountered a typhoon on the way and broke a ship, losing dozens of people. But finally it was... Admiral Zhou sent three expedition ships to send them to the east coast. They walked for a few more days and only arrived in Shenzhou yesterday."
Liu Minzhong and his group were obviously not as lucky as the first expedition team. They encountered a typhoon on the way, blowing over a 3,000-stone expedition ship. However, the other arrived in Mingzhou safely and walked along the coastline for a few days, and discovered the Jinshan City built on the Jinshan Peninsula.
At this time, the people sent by Meng Qi to report the news had already arrived in Jinshan. Zhou Xiaoqi knew that Meng Qi had made a great world in the south and was about to lead the fleet to meet him. So he brought Liu Minzhong and others together. However, Zhou Xiaoqi himself did not come. He was still on the boat and waited for Meng Qi to send gold and silver over. After Zhou Xiaoqi learned the purpose of the Second Mingzhou Expedition Team, he made a quick decision to return to China. However, he could not go back empty-handed. Chen Dexing stretched his neck to wait for gold and silver in the New World! During these days in Jinshan, Zhou Xiaoqi had been organizing people to make gold and had already obtained more than 30,000 taels of gold. However, it was incomparable to Meng Qi's income. Even if it was making gold and making money every day, it could not be compared with the robbery of a wealthy city-state.
"I got a lot of gold and silver when I went out this time!" Wen Tianxiang pointed at one "man and car" that drove into the city one after another. "There are two hundred cars full! There are always tens of thousands of kilograms, right?"
Tens of thousands of kilograms? Liu Minzhong took a deep breath when he heard this number. It turned out that there were really many mountains of gold and silver on the Mingzhou continent! He could just scrape it casually and then tens of thousands of kilograms...
He looked at the big carts that were being pulled into the city, and they were indeed loaded with various utensils and statues of humans and beasts.
