Datang first village

Li Yuanxing brought 500 people, which is already a very strong army for this city-state. .

There didn't seem to be much hostility toward these people. After figuring out the reason, a man who was obviously nobler than the others came out of the city. He used many crystals as decorations on his body, and he also had a pure gold walking stick.

The wizard gave a cigarette, lit it with a match, and talked a lot.

Li Yuanxing sent a tube directly, and was kindly invited into the city.

There is a moat here, about two feet wide, and then there is a city wall, made of stones.When he came to the center of the city-state, Li Yuanxing was a little stunned.

"This is a Mayan pyramid!" Li Yuanxing said softly.

The soldier in charge of the radio hurriedly transmitted the words back to the boat, and Li Lanshan was standing by, and asked immediately after hearing it, "Describe it."

Li Yuanxing described what he saw: "There are many stone tablets here, and I don't know what is depicted on them. It should be some kind of record, and there is a long one. The depiction on it makes me feel familiar. It seems to be Banpo ..." Li Yuanxing hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I should have seen something similar in Banpo."

"Tikal!" Li Lanshan exclaimed.

"Tikal!" Li Yuanxing also said casually.

This is this sentence, which attracted a strong reaction from the other party, and the other party was also shouting Tikal.

Li Lanshan taught Li Yuanxing another sentence that she could basically pronounce. After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, the other party was obviously very excited.After talking a lot, Li Yuanxing couldn't understand at all.

Li Yuanxing only knew what the sentence he said represented.

Sound City!

Li Lanshan reminded on the other end of the radio: "Yuanxing must be careful. According to historical research, the enemy of the city of sound should be the city of snakes, and the city of snakes is even stronger. If there is a war, what will you do?"

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time. I hope that all of this can be peacefully integrated." After Li Yuanxing replied, he told Li Lanshan that there would be no trouble for the time being, and that he would stay here for a few days to see if there were any changes.

The first step is not to trade, but to communicate.

Li Lanshan really wanted to come and have a look, but Li Yuanxing was worried.The reason is that the Mayans were a patriarchal society, and the status of women was not high.Although later studies have said.Maya had a queen.But this is individual case.

It took a full month.Li Yuanxing spends all his time communicating with this Mayan king, or the highest priest, doing everything possible.Maya had at least [-] highly educated priests involved, and Li Yuanxing called all the people on board who were proficient in ancient Chinese.

a month's time.Finally, it was possible to communicate smoothly.

Later studies are. 20.00% of six overlap with Chinese.The facts of this era prove.This overlap has reached about 40.00%, but many names are somewhat different, such as Tiantian.In the Maya, it is said.

"Our ancestors came from the Far West..." the Mayan priest was telling the Mayan legend.

This thing, the literati of the Tang Dynasty should not underestimate it. These guys read a lot, and immediately compared the history of Xia, Shang, and Zhou.The original transactions also stopped, and the Mayans became extremely enthusiastic. Seeing people from the land of their ancestors, they felt like relatives.

In a blink of an eye, Li Yuanxing had lived in Tikal for almost two months, and Li Lanshan and others also came here. As VIPs, Li Lanshan and the three princesses were allowed to approach the nearest steps of the Great Temple (that is, the pyramid) to participate in the A sacrificial offering, and Li Yuanxing was invited to the top of the platform.

Another morning came, and the clerks were full of energy preparing for the study of ancient history for this day.

Pei Xi came to report, "Your Highness, there are about 3000 people approaching from the north, only thirty miles away. They are armed with weapons, and the patterns on their faces are different. They are obviously enemies. What should we do?"

Li Yuanxing found King Maya directly: "Someone came from the north with weapons."

To prepare for battle, or to defend.Li Yuanxing is waiting for the opinion of King Maya.

"I'm going to meet the leader king of the snake city!"

Pei Xi asked Li Yuanxing three times in a row if he needed to be armed, because the enemy was already approaching.Li Yuanxing kept silent all the time. He firmly believed that war was absolutely not an absolute last resort.

After waiting for an entire hour, Datang's sentry lifted the alert.

King Maya came back with a man and a dozen warriors who were different from his city-state.

"This one is from the far west, the Tang Dynasty, the king of Qin." The Mayan kings introduced each other: "This one, the capital of snakes, the king of leaders."

"I have [-] strong soldiers!" the Calakmul leader said proudly.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanxing replied: "I can mobilize 80 of the most elite fighters at any time. I came here because you are an ancestor with us, or our ancestors have a very close connection. If it is for war, One day before, I can wipe out all the city-states here, one day!"

Li Yuanxing said emphatically.

Hearing Li Yuanxing talking about force for the first time, King Tikal Maya was also a little surprised.

After seeing the priest on his side explaining to the leader king, the leader king's face was sullen, so the Mayan king of Tikal said: "I believe you are friends, but we don't like exaggerated words, I, Tikal Twin Birds The king asks you to prove it."

"Choose an open place!"

"can!"

The Land of Maya is really a place of tropical rainforest. After choosing and choosing, Li Yuanxing finally took them to the place where he parked the boat.

The huge ship alone convinced the two Mayan kings more than half.

One thousand straw men and two thousand heavily armed guards of the Tang Qin Palace showed their charge, kill, and crossbow arrows.

These 2000 people can wipe out their city-state, and the two Mayan kings have no doubts.

After nightfall, Li Yuanxing ordered the curtain to be erected.

"This is the record of our Tang Dynasty's battle with the northern enemy, the Turkic people. Our relationship with the Turkic people should be of the same root, just like your City of Sound and the City of Snakes. Although there are wars, they should be brothers. Now Turkic People are already a part of Datang.”

The Battle of Shuofang.

The boundless battlefield was innumerable. Countless horses fought against each other, and the powerful army array really frightened the two Mayan kings, as well as all the Mayan priests here.

"What I bring is not war." Li Yuanxing repeated.

"I want to visit Chang'an!" The King of Snakes, the leader, said loudly.

Li Yuanxing will naturally agree to such a request, but Li Yuanxing also has his own plan: "I plan to build a port here so that these ships can dock. It is convenient for us to travel between here and Datang, whether it is for trade or other things. .Many good things I will ship over."

"Conquer the north and the south!" shouted the King, the leader of the Snake City.

Forget it, one part must be united to attack the other part. Fortunately, these Mayans did not have a deep understanding of the surrounding area, and they did not reach the border of the later generations of the United States to the north. To the south, there is only South America less than [-] kilometers away.

Later generations of Colombia were assigned to Li Yuanxing by two Mayan kings.

These two, it can be said that Maya is not the strongest in this era, but they are also considered famous.Especially the leader of the Snake City, known as the hero of a generation, he created the most glorious era of the Snake City.

Further south, there are hardly any Mayans left.

Some were also true Native Americans, so the Mayans allocated these places to Li Yuanxing. The land occupied by a city-state by the Mayans was only a few hundred square kilometers, and the largest population was only 6 to 30 people.Under the city of Tikal, there are more than a dozen city-states under control.The total population does not exceed [-] people.

The Snake Capital controls hundreds of city-states with a population of 80.

The largest number is 5 people, and the smallest number is 5000 people.

The Mayans had their own agriculture, knew how to use water power, and also had a unique style in architecture.

"To go back, I need something. I know it's there, but it needs manpower to dig. Of course, I'll pay the people who do the work enough, that's the reward. I'll pay the rice, enough rice."

"Slaves don't need wages. This is friendship!" The leader of the Snake City is obviously good at diplomacy.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Then I will give these to you. I am going to send a ship back to Chang'an, bring a fleet, enough food, and various exquisite utensils. Of course, there are also offerings to the heavens." product!" Li Yuanxing's sincerity is no longer important.What matters is strength, and great wealth.

"I want to borrow a boat and let me go north. I want to invite [-] high priests from eighteen states and give me four days. We will send forty priests to go back with your boat. If you can prove that we are the same One ancestor, we are one family." The King of Snake Capital quickly made the best choice.

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing had no reason to refuse.

Li Yuanxing chose one place, the open-pit coal mine in the Cali area of ​​Colombia in later generations, and used his own warship to go back and forth from Latin America hundreds of times, pulling [-] slaves.These slaves included Mayans and people of other races.Even several Mayan city-states teamed up to capture thousands of slaves further north and send them over.

"Your Highness, the amount of mining is too huge. We don't need tens of thousands of people to dig coal continuously." Pei Xi went from the initial excitement to the recent helplessness.

"How much coal is there?" Li Yuanxing sat on the beach, sipping tea.

"It's almost [-] tons, which is enough for us to go back and forth hundreds of times, and it only takes a few days." Pei Xixin said that this is all a waste of manpower, and there must be a certain amount of coal.What he meant was, can you find a gold mine to dig.Li Yuanxing naturally understood what Pei Xi was thinking, but he couldn't dig gold mines yet.

This is just getting a foothold.

"Go to Princess Mingyue, she will teach you how to make good use of these manpower." )
