Outside Tenochtit, the Aztecs are piling gold and silver into a pyramid, a pyramid of atonement for the gods.

The pious Aztecs took out almost all their gold and silver to build a large gold tower, and for this purpose began to mobilize the whole country to search for gold and silver, and to mine gold and silver with sufficient manpower, and even demanded gold and silver from the surrounding castles and tribes.

The gods didn't need them to sacrifice with living people, the gods only needed gold and silver, so the Aztec kingdom began to change, no longer conquests, but instead concentrated on mining and smelting gold.

The pious Aztecs silently atone for their crimes, next to this shining silver pyramid, a group of Ming people sat on the old man's chair, under the service of a group of young girls, while tasting the food, while looking at the higher and higher mountains of gold and silver, the whole person was extremely comfortable.

According to the will of the gods, the Ming people are the descendants and messengers of the sun god and the feathered serpent, and they are naturally more noble than the Aztecs, so the Aztecs must respect the gods and obey the will of the Ming people.

At the same time, the Aztecs and the Ming people have a common ancestor and belief, and the Aztecs should learn from the Ming people and master the language and writing of the Ming people, because this is the language and writing of communication with God, and only in this way can they be as noble as the Ming people as soon as possible.

Under this kind of propaganda, the Aztecs changed their hostility towards the Ming people and became very friendly to the Ming people, and even forgot about being beaten up just now.

Not only did they build pyramids made of gold and silver here, but even on the west coast and east coast, they began to help the Ming people start building colonial strongholds according to the instructions of the Ming people.

On the east coast of the Golden Continent, the famous Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico is the famous Caribbean Sea.

Well, a place where pirates are rampant in later generations.

Tian Erniu, monkeys, and big tigers rode horses very leisurely on the coastline, and looked around with binoculars from time to time, and the scenery here is very beautiful.

The long coastline stretches to the end of the horizon, and the blue sky, combined with the vast ocean and the clean sandy beaches, all make for an extremely beautiful landscape.

"It's so beautiful~"

Tian Erniu couldn't help but sigh.

That's why he became more and more fond of shipping in the middle of the sea, going to different parts of the world, seeing different civilizations and seeing different landscapes.

The world is big, and there are so many beautiful places.

"It's really beautiful, but it lacks the smell of people and a little bit of fireworks."

The monkey nodded, thought for a moment and said.

"Haha, in the future, this will be my Ming territory, and there will be a steady stream of people immigrating here."

When Dahu heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

"This is the Atlantic Ocean, this Golden Continent is very wide from north to south, but the area in the middle is very narrow, if only a canal could be opened in the narrowest place in the future, so that it will be much more convenient."

"Although we have reached the east coast of this golden continent, it is not easy to explore more areas without a boat, and it is impossible to sail the boat to this side and bypass this southern golden continent in a few months."

Tian Erniu opened a map, looked at it carefully, and said.

"Take your time, we can also build our own shipbuilding, this time among the people who came to the Golden Continent, there are also a lot of people who know how to shipyard, and some of them are people from Tianjin Shipyard, and they brought it here to repair the ship, and now it can be used."

The monkey thought for a moment and said.

"Well, when the first stronghold on the east coast is built, we will start building a shipyard here, building ships, it doesn't need to be too big, we can walk around the coast, and then we will explore the entire east coast."

"I've heard from the Aztecs that there have been some white people with blond hair and big noses on the East Coast in recent years, and I guess they're probably Europeans."

Tian Erniu nodded, and his face became solemn when he said this.

The conquest of the Aztecs also knew a lot from the Aztecs, including the mention of the white people who came from the East Coast.

White people arrived on the East Coast a decade ago, and they were few at first, but in recent years they have become active, and they can be seen everywhere from time to time.

"Europeans?"

When the monkey and the big tiger heard this, they were slightly surprised.

"It can't be, Europe and the Golden Continent are separated by an Atlantic Ocean..."

Big Tiger thought for a while and said.

"Our Daming and the Golden Continent are still separated by a Pacific Ocean, nothing is impossible, and there is no need for the Aztecs to lie to us."

"And we can also make contact with some city-states and tribes on the east coast, and ask them to know if the Aztecs have lied to us."

Tian Erniu looked at the azure sea and thought for a while and asked. A must-read book

"Well, it's important, if it's really Europeans, and they arrived on the East Coast side before us, it means that we're bound to have a conflict with them in the future, so we'd better sit down and get ready as soon as possible."

The monkey also nodded and said.

"Let's go, go back~ send someone to the city-states and tribes on the east coast to inquire clearly."

Tian Erniu put away the map and rode to the stronghold on the east coast.

Penglai City!

This is the stronghold named by Tian Erniu on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, and it is also the first stronghold of Daming on the east coast of the Golden Continent, which is currently under construction.

There were thousands of Aztecs under the command of the Ming people who were building houses and docks, and at the same time, a Ming dragon flag was also erected high, fluttering in the wind.

Riding a horse around Penglai City.

"Monkey, send someone to build a fort with cement here at a high place, and when the time comes, a dozen Miyun cannons will be enough to radiate the entire coastline, even if someone is coming, you are not afraid."

"Also, send people around the South Golden Continent and get dozens of ships to come to this east coast, without ships we will always be in a passive position of being beaten, with ships we can attack and retreat and defend, even if we encounter Europeans, we are not afraid."

"It's better to figure out where these Europeans are based, and I guess it's on the big islands around you."

"If these Europeans are polite, they can say it politely, but if they are disrespectful to our Ming Dynasty, they will directly destroy all their strongholds."

Tian Erniu issued several orders one after another.

I didn't expect the Europeans to arrive on the side of the Golden Continent earlier than themselves, and I learned from the surrounding tribes of the descendants of Yin Shang that as early as ten years ago, when the fourth year of Hongzhi, these Europeans had arrived on the east coast of the Golden Continent.

Ten years, this means that these Europeans have established a foothold on the East Coast, and there should be a large number of people who have migrated over there.

The Ming side has only organized two fleets to come to the Golden Continent since Du Mingen's first arrival on the Golden Continent, since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and it has only been three years now.

Here in the Golden Continent, there are now 100,000 Ming people, and on the west coast, more than a dozen large and small strongholds have been established, and last year, more people will come to the Golden Continent.

How many strongholds these Europeans have built in ten years, and how many people have arrived here, one can imagine that their power on the east coast will be very huge.

With Tian Erniu's order conveyed, on the east coast of the Golden Continent, the people of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company began to get busy.

Some people began to walk around the various city-states and tribes of the descendants of Yin Shang on the east coast on horseback, and while finding out the situation here, they also inquired about the Europeans.

At the same time, on the side of Penglai City, for the sake of safety, Tian Erniu's side also began to mobilize more cannons and manpower from the west coast to speed up the construction of Penglai City, and also began to explore on the east coast of the Golden Continent.

With more and more understanding of the east coast and more and more city-states and tribes in contact, Tian Erniu finally inquired clearly.

On the east coast there was indeed a group of blue-eyed, high-nosed, white-skinned, cross-bearers, who went around in ships looking for gold and silver, like robbers, and many city-states and tribes had come into contact with them, and they were very disgusted with these white people.

Because in addition to asking for gold, silver, precious stones, spices, and so on, these white people also preached Catholicism to the descendants of Yin Shang and demanded that everyone convert to their Catholicism.

This made the descendants of Yin Shang, who believed in the sun god and the feathered serpent, very angry, but there was nothing they could do with these white people.

Because these white people's ships were large, and they had muskets and cannons, and they wore armor, these tribes and city-states of Yin Shang descendants could not defeat these white people.

Even if they were able to get through, the whites would leave by boat, and soon before they would make a comeback.

"There really are Europeans on the east coast of the Golden Continent!"

Tian Erniu's face was solemn, and he carefully looked at the map of the east coast of the Golden Continent.

"Bell~Bell~"

At this moment, the bell of Penglai City rang loudly.

"There is a ship, there is a ship~"

"There is a ship on the sea~"

The person in charge of the lookout shouted anxiously.

Tian Erniu, Monkey, Dahu and others had just come out, and after hearing this, they immediately picked up their binoculars and looked at the sea, only to see that there were two boats on the sea heading towards Penglai City, and the white sails on the boats were embroidered with crosses.

"Really European?"

Tian Erniu took the binoculars, looked at the people on the boat carefully, and saw the people on the boat clearly, and immediately couldn't help but shout.
