Chapter 086: Advancing to the Plateau
Burning people alive was still the ruling class of the Trotsky, and it did not arouse the hatred of the Trotsky, but gave them a preliminary identification with the Sun God Cult. Because the Trottoes originally had the custom of sacrificing living people to the temple, they believed that life and blood could bring the gods closer to them, and whether it was beheading or burning at the stake actually meant the same thing in their eyes.
The religious thinking of the Indians is more focused on the afterlife, that is to say, they believe that when people live, they are just laying the foundation for death, not that life is not important, but after death is the real beginning of life, so in a sense, they are not afraid of death.
The reason why there is such a religious ideology is probably related to their living environment. The environment is harsh, there is a lack of medical care, and almost every day there is a danger of death. In fact, this kind of religious thinking is the same as the spirit of revolutionary optimism, which is to find a reason for oneself to think that the present suffering is necessary, and that one cannot complain about the bitter death. After a long time under this kind of psychological suggestion, a set of theories will naturally arise, which is still self-consistent.
At this time, Hong Tao's foresight was manifested, the Sun God Cult! It's not Buddhism, it's not Taoism, it's not Hinduism, it's not Christianity, so why is it just Helios? Other religions have existing theories that can be used, so why do they have to come up with a new one? The reason is in applicability.
If you talk to the Indians about the Buddha, the immortals, the Bodhisattva, and the God, they have to believe it! If you want to plant a religion in some people who originally had faith, it will take a hundred years, and the resistance you will encounter will be calculated in terms of the destruction of the entire race.
But on the basis of their original beliefs, the development of a religious system that is more suitable for their own rule will have much faster effect and much less resistance. The Helios Cult was originally intended to fool the descendants of the Mayans in Belize, and it is not much different from the original beliefs of the vast majority of Indians, and belongs to the same ancestry. It's just that it has more specific and nuanced dogmas in it, which can give the Indians a higher delusion, which has been confirmed in Belize.
Hong Tao also has a weapon in his hand to attack the heart, not a weapon but a person, and these Indian soldiers of the Sun Legion are the best example. There was no need to mobilize, as long as the soldiers were allowed to follow the missionaries in the city, and the glory of the Helios Cult would immediately shine into this small valley. Any theory and religion is pale in the face of words alone, and if you add some examples, it is a perfect deception.
People often have the habit of blind obedience, and countless deceptions in the world have taken advantage of this weakness in human nature, through one case after another, one case after another, so that others have to believe that this thing that does not exist in the first place is true. And it is also human nature to try to maintain their own values.
For example, a person knows that something is wrong, but as long as he is doing it, he will rack his brains to whitewash it, because they are closely connected with themselves, and they will prosper and lose together. At this time, the selfishness in human nature is vividly expressed, for the sake of their own interests and psychological comfort, they desperately make up lies to deceive others, and all human nature and conscience are gone.
Hong Tao also showed his humanity to the fullest, no matter how well the missionaries and soldiers did the assimilation of the Trothorn captives, and whether the captives bowed down to themselves, regarded themselves as messengers of the sun god, and even demolished their original temples with their own hands, Hong Tao never entered the city to live. He still set up the barracks on the hillside east of the city, and sent out patrols day and night, planning to take the remaining dozens of people down the mountain to drill into the jungle if something happened.
"Your Majesty, I think you will live past a hundred years old, and this prudence alone is worth learning from me." This continued until the end of November, when Royoude emerged from the rainforest with a large number of Sun City residents and slaves.
"There is a saying in my hometown that those who drown know how to water. Why are you here, Swan? "Luo Youde brought more than 800 residents of Sun City and dozens of pack horses, but he didn't see Swann and the reinforcements.
"He can't go fast with the cannon, and it is estimated that it will be a few days away. I didn't want him to go with a cannon, and that thing in the woods was carried by people more than half the time. He didn't say that this was His Majesty's order, what do you want the cannon for? Luo Youde has no problem with Hong Tao's casual theory, and most of these words are very reasonable.
“…… Build a few forts on the mountain pass over there, and this side of the mountain will be ours, and 10,000 people will come in vain. Hong Tao had the intention to say that Swan was falsely preaching the holy decree, but after thinking about it, it was indeed his own inconsiderateness, Swan was picking up the missing pieces for himself, so let's help him support him.
"I found out that you came back this time and completely changed your person, why are you in such a hurry to expand your territory? Swann said you had to occupy enough space to give it to us. I think you're lying to that stupid boy again, is there something going on on the Empire's side? Luo Youde was very sensitive to Hong Tao's changes, and Swan must have told him about Hong Tao's division of land and building a country with his followers, but he didn't believe it at all. The reason is the same as Swann thought at the time, this kind of thing has never been heard of, and it is very inhuman.
"Lao Luo, why have you known each other for almost twenty years, did you guess what I did? Don't guess, what I said to Swann was from my heart, and I deliberately told him, either to fool him into selling my life to me, or to tell you and others through his colander mouth. It's true, didn't I say the same thing when I called you here, you don't think I'm lying to you, do you? It's true that I'm an emperor, but I won't change my personality when I become an emperor, and I will work hard to do what I promised. "Just like the question of why he abdicated, the issue of allocating land to his followers has to be repeated over and over again, and they really don't believe it.
"But people's hearts are unpredictable, so you are not afraid that there will be people who will be insatiable when the time comes, then we will not be tossed in vain for so many years, and we will not be able to leave any good things for our children, and maybe what we will leave behind is the scourge of killing our heads." Luo Youdebiswan thinks long-term, and in his opinion, it is safest to implement the set of rules that Hong Tao did in the Golden River Empire, at least it is safer for future generations.
"Brother Luo, you should know my skills best, as long as I want to, the rules for governing the country can come up with several sets, and it is not necessarily worse than Jinhe Country. In fact, whether the set of Jin Heguo works or not, I don't dare to pack tickets. Since I'm not sure, why don't I try a few more methods. Don't worry so much, the Americas will come to you in two years, and you won't have to listen to him when he wants to get you? "For Luo Youde's worries, Hong Tao basically ignored it, he didn't regard this place as his own country at all, he was completely holding the purpose of the game, and wanted to use it so far.
"It's not like you to be a father, how old are the two children, let them sail out on their own. The wind and waves on the sea are merciless, what if something really happens? As soon as Luo Meimei and Hong Salamander sailed to the sea for exploration, Luo Youde was angry.
"If something really happens, you should have never raised the Americas, I should have never raised the salamanders, they have no life to enjoy, what else can we do? Don't think that yours is a son and suffer, it's a big deal to take over your black son in Cape Town Harbor and inherit your throne. I don't believe that you have been so honest in Sun City in the past few years, tell me, how many daughters of believers have you harmed? How many more siblings did you give birth to in the Americas? When it comes to family issues, Hong Tao wants to mess around, and he doesn't like to dwell on this issue the most.
"I'll go into the city and take a look...... Whoever has a dad like you is unlucky! Luo Youde made Hong Tao say a big red face, in fact, the matter of marrying a concubine here is clear, but as soon as Hong Tao said it, it was as if he was a whore who used his identity as a divine envoy to deceive other people's daughters everywhere. This matter is not clear, continue to talk about it, maybe there are still many ugly words waiting for you, you can't afford to hide, this ability Luo Youde has also learned.
With Swann came not only a hundred soldiers and dozens of missionaries, but also a long black dragon. Behind their ranks, a cloud of black smoke rose from the rainforest, and as far as the eye could see, it looked like a dragon with teeth and claws. These miracles caused the newly converted Trottoes to kneel on the ground and prostrate themselves to the sun god not to bring disaster upon the land where they lived, and to pledge to worship the gods wholeheartedly. Of course, you have to listen to the oracle 100 percent.
"You burned all the roads, how can these captives be sent back?" Of course, Hong Tao would not think that those black smoke were black dragons, and that thing was the residue of oil fractionation.
"Uncle Luo said that he didn't need to send them all back, just open up the wasteland here first. The land here is more suitable for growing corn than in Sun City, and there is a lot of ore on the west side of the pass, said the Trotto captive. Swann untied the cotton cloth covering his face and took a deep breath of fresh air from the hillside.
"It's okay, leave fifty people for your Uncle Luo, and the rest will come with us. I also inquired clearly, the city of Tula is about six or seven days away from here, and it is estimated that it is only about 200 kilometers. There wasn't much jungle on the road, so three days of horseback riding was enough. Rest first, and set off early the next morning. Hong Tao is now eager to step to the city of Tula in one step, he is not in a hurry this time, but he can't disappear for too long, the occupation of south-central Mexico is only the first step, there are more ambitious plans waiting to be completed, and a day can not be delayed.
