Nanming: I can build wonders

After Bartolomé signed the treaty, Daming promised not to kill him and send him back to Spain.

He never expected that tomorrow would be the day to send him away, and today he would witness the tragedy in Mexico with his own eyes.

Of course, this tragedy is relative to him, but to the Aztecs and Daming, it is a comedy!
Bartolomé was in so much pain that he subconsciously touched the paper bag on his head, for fear that the paper bag would break and his red hair would be exposed.

He is also afraid of death!
Now, he can only hope that these Daming people will be honest.

Chen Shichang and Liu Junqing didn't think about him either, they just wanted to leave him with a psychological shadow, to see if he dared to fight against Daming in the future.

After the public trial of the Spanish colonies, all the Aztecs in Mexico City were considered to have boarded Ming's ship.

Chen Shichang arranged for people to collect the corpse and dispose of it to avoid any disease.

While ordering people to distribute cooked porridge to the Aztecs.

A bowl of meat porridge with boiled meat and dried vegetables, added enough salt, and exuding a strong corn fragrance, made all the Aztecs gobble it up.

Due to climate and geographical reasons, Daming did not have a large rice planting area in Yinzhou, and there were very few places where rice could be planted.

Moreover, most places in Yinzhou are more suitable for growing corn and wheat.

They can only cook polenta.

However, some meat was added in, it was so fragrant, everyone ate several bowls in a row.

It wasn't until I couldn't eat anymore that I lay down on the ground with my full stomach, savoring the feeling of having a full meal.

The Aztecs who worked for the Spaniards seldom ate enough to feel the feeling of being full. All the Aztecs felt that as long as they could feed them, it was worth dying immediately.

The Aztecs in the city have been tamed, but the Aztecs in the vast rural area of ​​Central Yinzhou need special means to subdue them.

Guatemala, Petén lowlands region.

This is the place to the south of Zhongyinzhou.

Guatemala's history dates back to around 2000 BC, when the Mayan civilization began to flourish in the land.

The Mayans established many city-states and kingdoms, and developed unique writing, mathematics, astronomy, art and architecture.

They built many magnificent pyramids, temples, squares and statues in the Petén lowlands and central highlands such as Tikal, Quirigua, Lake Izabal, etc.

In 1523, the Spanish came to Guatemala, they destroyed the local Mayan culture and began to colonize Guatemala.

Due to the extermination policy of the Spanish colonists, almost all previous Mayan books were destroyed, and only a few books survived.

Chen Shichang led the Ming army to walk in the jungle of Guatemala, and came across the Mayan pyramids, which made them realize for the first time that the Mayan civilization written by His Majesty is really not just made up!

Not far from the Ming army, there was a tribe called the "Eagle". The Aztecs in Guatemala generally worshiped the eagle as a creature.

There are not many of them, men, women, old and children together, there are only 2 to [-] people. They live scattered around the Petten lowlands and are divided into more than a dozen villages.

Mainly by growing corn, coffee, tobacco, but also hunting, and using a bow and arrow!

Their current chief is called Chi Ying, a man who is good at keeping eagles. He raised a kestrel, so people called him Chi Ying. According to the tribal tradition, his nickname gradually became his name.

Early this morning, he took a few good guys from the tribe to go hunting in the jungle to improve the tribe's food.

A young man suddenly exclaimed loudly: "Chief, look quickly, there are two suns in the sky!"

two suns?How can this be?

Is this brat drunk?
Chief Chi Ying quickly raised his head and squinted his eyes to look east, there was only one blinding golden sun in the sky, where could there be two?
Just as he was about to reprimand him, the boy said, "Over there, there is a little red sun in the sky over there!"

What?Little red sun?kidding me!
Is it possible that the sun will give birth?

Thinking of this, Chi Ying turned his head and looked, almost frightened to death!
There is a red "baby sun" in the sky. There is a basket hanging under this "baby sun". There seem to be two or three people in the basket?

"There seems to be someone in the basket. Is it the Sun Messenger?"

That kid has good eyesight.

"A messenger sent by the Sun God!"

The red eagle is no longer in the mood to hunt
If the envoys are here, they must be looking for him, and he has to meet them.

"Hurry up and take people back to the tribe to get the best coffee and some dried meat. I want to use them to entertain the angels!"

Chi Ying is quite enthusiastic, and wants to invite the envoy to drink foreign-style coffee.

Chi Ying simply believes that the Spanish favorite coffee, the envoy will also like it.

It has to be said that coffee is the trendiest beverage of this era.

Before the popularization of coffee, most Europeans spent their holidays drinking, and there were various drinking competitions, and drunks staggeringly could be seen everywhere on the street.

Alcohol restriction plans have appeared more than once in Europe, and they all ended in failure. The main reason is that there is no drink that can replace alcohol. Until the arrival of coffee, the Puritans regard coffee as a drink given by God to replace beer, so that people can regain their sobriety.

At the same time, the popularity of coffee also raises a question, coffee and alcohol can be compared, so should it be banned?

The notoriously severe Pope Clement VIII faced this conundrum in the early seventeenth century.

The pope tasted the new drink rationally first, and felt that the flavor was excellent, so he did not strictly ban it for a long time.

In fact, it should be said that the pope saw the efficacy of coffee, which can keep monks awake during midnight mass.  …
From 1652 to 1700, in less than the 50s, European cafes expanded rapidly from 1 to more than 2000, and it became a place where people became a place for men to socialize, discuss state affairs, and talk about business, even if the king It is useless to issue a ban.

"Okay, leave the coffee to me!"

The young man patted his chest and took over the honorable task of making coffee for the envoy.

And the chief Chiying also rushed to the gathering place of the tribal villagers in a hurry, preparing to be anxious for the villagers to meet the visit of the divine envoy together.

Chen Shichang put down the high-power binoculars in his hand, and then said to Liu Junqing who was also holding a binoculars to look around: "Old Liu, that's right, the place below is the birthplace of Mayan civilization, and the terrain is exactly the same as the map His Majesty gave us!"

"Old Chen, look over there! Someone is there!"

"Where? Where did I see it! It's not the red-haired barbarians, it should be the Aztecs!"

"It's an Aztec. The houses are very dilapidated and the clothes are colorful. Old Chen, do you think we should go down?"

"Of course we went down! We risked our lives in a hot air balloon, isn't it just to carry out the strategy of flying to the sky!"
