Chapter 680, Atonement with Gold and Silver

The bustling and beautiful city of Tenochtitlan was now in a state of great fear, because the beautiful city was surrounded by people.

The Aztecs in the city were terrified, and since the beautiful city was built, it had never been in a war, and the nobles, warriors, priests, and merchants in the city were terrified.

The Aztec army's army of 40,000 men was defeated, and few were returned, and the rest were either killed or captured.

Even Montezuma II, the heir to the Aztec kingdom, had been captured at this time, and the Aztecs, who were good at war, were not even a rabble under the hands of the Ming people.

But that's not what really scares them.

What really frightened the Aztecs was that these Ming people said that they were messengers of the sun god and Quetzalcoatl, and because the Aztecs blasphemed the gods, the sun god and Quetzalcoatl sent the Ming to punish them.

This was the most terrible and feared for the Aztecs, who worshiped the gods.

Because it means that they are not facing the Ming people, but the messengers of the gods, and they have blasphemed the gods, so the gods will send people to punish them.

God is so important in their hearts that they naturally think that it is all right.

Because the Ming people who surrounded them, their banners were also embroidered with a pattern similar to that of Quetzalcoatl, and they said that this was called a dragon.

The Ming people also said that a long, long time ago, they Aztecs, and even the entire people on the Golden Continent, they and the Ming people were the same and had a common ancestor.

So everyone worships their ancestors, and they all have common totems and gods, the Ming people also believe in the solar system and the Quetzalcoatl God, and they are the Sun God and the Quetzalcoatl God of the introduction, and they are the messengers of the gods.

Because the Aztecs blasphemed the gods and offended the descendants and messengers of the gods, they were punished by the gods and had everything they have now.

Fear spreads, and the entire city of Tenochtitlan feels terrified.

Countless people gathered in the pyramid square of the sun god and the god Quetzalcoatl, constantly confessing to the gods in their hearts, saying that they had no blasphemy intentions, and praying for the gods to forgive them.

In the royal palace, the king of the Aztec kingdom, Oyzotl, looked at the high priests, nobles, and others around him and asked, "Let's all talk about it, what should we do now?" ”

"The Ming people have only given us one day to reply to them, and if we don't surrender, they will destroy Tenochtitlan on behalf of the gods, and declare that we Aztecs will be sent to hell forever."

Oyzotl was very frightened, he was already about to enter the earth, but at this time, he actually said that the Aztecs had blasphemed the gods, so they sent the Ming people to punish them, and if they did not accept the punishment, they would be sent to the abyss of hell.

This made him very frightened, he had been working hard all his life to fight everywhere, capturing a large number of slaves to sacrifice to the gods, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still blasphemed the gods, and he might not even be able to enter the kingdom of God.

"Surrender, it is impossible for us to defeat the messenger of God~"

"To surrender to the Ming people is to surrender to God, and only by obeying the arrangements of the Ming people can we be redeemed."

High Priest Wikilo suffered a seizure of madness, but soon regained consciousness, and after communicating with God, he spoke on God's behalf.

"The Ming people are right, they are indeed the messengers and incomings of the gods, and it is precisely because we have blasphemed the gods that the gods will send them to punish us."

"Listen to the words of the Ming people, whatever they say is what they say, let's do it."

Wichiro said with a righteous face, in fact, he was also very helpless in his heart.

The Aztec kingdom was defeated, an army of 40,000 could not hold back against 10,000, and Tenochtitlan was surrounded, if not surrendered to the Ming.

The artillery fire of the Ming people will bombard Tenochtitlan again, and everyone will be killed by the Ming people at that time, and their own lives may not be saved.

Therefore, his own life is important, as long as the Ming still need the Aztecs, he can continue to be his high priest, and it will have no effect on him.

When the others heard this, they immediately nodded their heads, and the king and the high priest both spoke, what else did they have to say, not to mention, now it is people who are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and it is not okay if you are not obedient.

Soon, the Aztec kingdom officially surrendered to Tian Erniu's side.

On the passage of the land and Tenochtitlan, the king, the high priest, and many nobles, warriors, merchants, etc., all took the lead in prostration, and behind them were the black oppressive Aztecs.

They are greeting the messengers of God, welcoming the Ming people.

Tian Erniu, Monkey, Big Tiger, Jiang Liang and others riding on the tall horses were full of smiles, this battle was too easy, and they conquered this huge Aztec kingdom almost effortlessly.

The Aztecs looked at the war horses raised by Tian Erniu and the others, a kind of creature that they had never seen before, which made them feel terrified, and the ignorant people regarded these war horses as divine beasts ridden by the gods, and they were even more convinced of the things that Tian Erniu and the others had made up.

Moving forward, Tian Erniu and the others also looked at this city with interest that they had heard about for a long time.

Tenochtitlan!

It can be said that it is now the largest city in the entire Golden Continent.

The Aztecs used silt and stone canals to divert water from the swamps, and for many years they smeared mud and other places on their houses.

In order to prevent the silt from falling, it is covered with flowers and trees, so the whole of Tenochtitlan looks like a hanging garden, full of flowers and trees, full of all kinds of flowers, very beautiful.

"Tsk, it's so beautiful!"

Tian Erniu couldn't help but nod his head, although these Aztecs couldn't even smelt bronze, their attainments in architecture and art were very high, and the city they built was quite beautiful.

The ground is paved with stone slabs, the roads are wide, the pyramids are full of pyramids, and the huge squares show the artistic and architectural talents of the Aztecs everywhere.

Soon, the crowd came to the square of the Pyramid of the Sun God, where thousands of Aztecs knelt on the ground, black and oppressive.

Tian Erniu took out an iron horn, stood at the height of the pyramid, looked at the black Aztecs below, and said loudly: "We Ming people are the descendants and messengers of the sun god and the feathered serpent, we Daming and you Aztecs, and all the people on this Golden Continent continent were a family a long time ago, and we have a common ancestor, that is, the sun god and the feathered quetzalcoatl." ”

"Now, because you Aztecs have blasphemed the gods, the gods have sent us Ming people to punish you, and only by accepting our punishment can you receive God's forgiveness, and you can enter the kingdom of God after you die."

Tian Erniu's voice was very loud, coupled with the expansion of the tin horn, it was even louder, echoing in the vast Sun God Square, and it was very clearly transmitted to the ears of every Aztec in the field.

"Great God~"

"We know it's wrong~"

"We are willing to accept the punishment of the Ming people, and please forgive us for our sins!"

Hearing Tian Erniu's words, the high priest immediately knelt down and shouted loudly.

As he shouted, the entire Aztecs in the square also shouted, grief-stricken, and begged for God's forgiveness.

"As a punishment for you blaspheming God and neglecting the heirs and messengers of God from the far east."

"You now need to ask God for forgiveness by piling up a pyramid of gold and silver, and the bigger the better, the higher the better, so that we can show God that you intend to repent."

"In addition, your Aztec kingdom must pay no less than 10 million taels of gold and silver to our Ming people every year to atone for your sins to God, of course, the more this amount, the better, the more, the sooner you can atone for your sins."

"In addition, from this day onwards, you are not allowed to use human sacrifice, God loves the world and has mercy on everyone, and it is precisely because you use human sacrifice that you blaspheme the gods, and that is why we have been sent to punish you."

"All living beings are equal, and all future sacrifices will be sacrificed with gold and silver, the more the better, of course, these gold and silver are kept by our Ming people for God~"

When he said this, Tian Erniu's face couldn't help but turn red.

It's really red.

He felt that he couldn't make it up anymore, although he kept shouting God, but it was a sentence of gold and silver, and the ghost would not believe his words.

But after hearing this, the Aztecs below smiled and cried happily, it turned out that they still had a way to save them, a way to get the gods to forgive them.

And the gods' demands were so simple, just asking for gold and silver, which they had, and the gods didn't like them to sacrifice with living people, which made ordinary Aztecs cheer.

The years of conquest also exhausted the Aztecs, and they formed a deep hatred with other kingdoms, city-states, tribes, and so on of the descendants of the Yin Shang in the surrounding area.

Thousands of people were sacrificed every year, and sometimes when there were not enough captives, they had to sacrifice some of the lower people.

Now that I heard Tian Erniu's words, the gods didn't like to sacrifice with living people, but just liked gold and silver, which made countless low-level Aztecs cheer at once.

"The Aztecs are willing to accept God's punishment~"

High Priest Wikilo bowed down deeply and said.

"We are willing to accept God's divine punishment!"

When the other Aztecs heard this, they immediately shouted in unison.
