Chapter 601: Where Did Li Tang Go? The first update
The Eight Banners of the Indians had moved between the Pyramid of the Sun and the Tower of the Moon, cutting down some trees and building a fence on top of the two pyramids. The Great Army Fence was protected. The two pyramids have become important commanding heights and strongholds. There were two guards (one with a spear and one with a bow and arrows) for defense.
The covered festival hall is located at the foot of the Sun Pyramid, and at this time he is sitting opposite Wen Tianxiang and Yang Aguo, who are preparing to travel far away.
Eight months of marching, hard work, and sometimes battles against unknown enemies. But the mask did not show the slightest tiredness. Even if he sat on top of the mazah, he still had his back straight, his hands on his knees, his eyes were fixed and his spirits were high.
He is now young, he is already the commander of Wanfu, and at this moment, he is leading the troops in Mingzhou, fighting dozens of battles and not tasting a single defeat, which makes this young general feel extremely comfortable.
Yang Aguo sat at the bottom, he is also a person who is used to boiling, he has been wandering in Liaodong for many years, what kind of hardship has he not suffered? This tiredness really doesn't mean much to him now.
Wen Tianxiang was a little tired, he had not suffered any hardships and hardships, this time he traveled thousands of miles, he really suffered enough, but when he thought about it, he had seventy-two disciples in Mingzhou, and he had successfully passed the Taoism of Confucius to Mingzhou, and his mood was also relaxed. That bit of exhaustion disappeared all of a sudden.
Soon, he would be an envoy to Maya as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, which was called Mayapan, and was ruled by a royal family called the Kocomb family. It was also the center of the entire Mayan state, a political center established by the various Mayan city-states.
However, Shark Tonghai has only heard of Mayapan, and he has not been there. I have no friendship with the Mayan royal family. So in this mission. He merely led the way and acted as a translator...... At the same time, he was also responsible for inquiring about the reality of the Mayan city-states for Meng Qi.
The annexation of the Maya was the main goal of Meng's southward journey. Because the information that Mongolia got was that the Mayans were the most capable in the whole Ming Continent. They can farm, they can weave. If you can build a city, you can't fight. It is somewhat similar to the Southern Song Dynasty. If Meng Qi can conquer Maya, then he can develop the central part of Mingzhou and open up the southern part of Mingzhou much faster.
His ambition for Maya, Wen Tianxiang can also feel it.
He Meng glanced at each other, and Wen Tianxiang said lightly: "The national letter and gifts, the official has already prepared, and he can leave for Mayapan at any time." Brother Meng, when is it time to go. It's up to your people when they're ready. ”
Of course, the letter of state was forged by Wen Tianxiang, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were facing a war that had just been lost, and they didn't know how to end it, but they knew that there was a Mayan country tens of thousands of miles away and didn't have the heart to send any envoys.
Meng laughed: "Since Wen Zhuangyuan has said so, then the little brother has chosen a good day and an auspicious day...... How about leaving tomorrow? ”
His words fell, and before Wen Tianxiang could speak, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and it was an Indian Eight Banners soldier who came in, looking a little flustered. When he saw Meng Qi, he saluted according to the standard Ming-style military salute. "General, the enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! That's a lot, 20,000 people! And there are quite a few Tiger Samurai and Eagle Samurai! ”
All the Indians worshipped the gods of nature and looked down on the fierce animals. The phenomenon gathers around the valley floor of Mexico, and the Indian tribes called the Chichimec are no exception. Like tigers (Mingzhou tigers) and eagles. The best warriors wore clothes sewn into tiger skins or were covered with feathers. Called Tiger Samurai and Eagle Samurai. The Aztecs, who were famous in later history, were one of them.
And the valley of Mexico, which they had broken into in a daze, is now the territory of the Chichimecs. Including the Azket, Kaunahuak and Huakostipek people. All built their own city-states. And the place where they are now called "Teotihuae". It means "the place where the sun is born," "the place where those who know the way of God," or "the place where heaven and earth meet." It's their religious holy place!
The Eight Bannermen of the Indian Banners, who were under his command, were really good at picking places, and he defeated many Chichimec tribes in the northern part of the Valley of Mexico. Now they have stormed into their base camp and occupied one of their holy places.
As a result, the Chichimecks formed an alliance against the invading Indian Eight Banners.
Meng Qi stood up abruptly and saluted Wen Tianxiang: "Mr. Wenshan, I'll go to supervise the commander's son...... Don't leave for now, wait until this battle is over. After this battle, the surrounding territory is ours! ”
Surrounded by the Valley of Mexico, one of Mexico's two major centers, and the Yucatan Peninsula, controlled by Mayapan. As long as these two pieces of territory are won, the entire Beimingzhou is not in the bag of Datang? Moreover, once the Ming acquired a naval base and shipbuilding base in the Yucatan Peninsula, it would be much easier for the Ming to operate in the Caribbean and the Atlantic in the future.
……
The silver kettle, engraved with intricate patterns, makes a soft sound on the stove, and white mist rises from the spout. Outside the bamboo curtain, rain drips from the corners of the eaves and bamboo leaves, and the sound of dripping rain is heard, and the light in the hall gradually dims.
Li Cuixian poured off the residual tea, took out the strong green new tea from the paper bag with a bamboo spoon, all of which were ground into powder, put it on a piece of white paper, and put it into the purple clay pot. Then take the silver kettle and pour the lake into boiling water. She was extremely steady, obviously proficient in the tea ceremony, and the boiling water flowing in was level with the spout, and the emerald green tea leaves stretched out with a slight sound, without spilling out at all.
Then, Li Cuixian picked up the lid of the purple clay pot, skimmed off the fine foam from the mouth of the pot, covered the lid, and poured boiling water on the pot. The tea foam rushed down the body of the pot, and a refreshing tea fragrance wafted out. After a while, the water on the body of the pot dried up. Li Cuixian poured boiling water over the teacup, then poured two cups and handed one to Li Pu. The demeanor is calm and unhurried, and there is a lot of everyone's demeanor.
Li Pu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a wry smile: "This tea ceremony is very clever, come to teach it to your father when you have time, and talk for your father to enjoy yourself." ”
The sound of the rain became more and more rapid, and the light became more and more dim, but Li Cuixian's face was full of smiles.
Li Pu sighed. "Sure enough, it's a female big girl!"
This time he lost so quickly, Li Cuixian was at least half responsible.
After a moment of silence, Li Cuixian smiled and said, "The ideals that adults have had since they were young have now all been achieved. Hu Lu has been driven away, and Yan Zhao has fallen into the hands of the Han family, even the Tang Dynasty is not dead now, and it will be revived overseas in the future. ”
As she spoke, she took out a letter and handed it to her father with both hands: "This is a letter written by King Ming, please go to Yanjing to enjoy your old age." ”
Li Pu snorted, took the envelope, and took out a letter raft after opening it.
Tang Zhu Junjian
The day has been goodbye for several years. The friendship of Weng and son-in-law lingers in my heart. The two kingdoms of Li Tang and Chen Ming both took the restoration of the Central Plains as their own responsibility. In the past, Mongolia was raging, and the big trees of my Han family were scattered, and the stars were crowded, but the public did not forget the righteousness and hidden strange ambitions. When the son-in-law heard it, he was impressed.
Now that Mongolia has been expelled, the martyrs have great ambitions, the world is overjoyed, and the heroes will be Yanjing. Hearing that Mount Tai lived in Daizhou, he still sighed all night long, for the country and the people. Every time the son-in-law thinks about this, he often cherishes it. The envoy Xian'er came to invite. If the Tang lord descends to each other, the son-in-law will welcome him as a sweeper. The heart of the fist should be remembered.
The inscription after the article is Chen Dexing, the king of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are not many Chinese characters in the letter, it is written sincerely. Li Pu took the letterhead, didn't say a word, and said for a long time: "Chen Dexing's letter is written so politely, it seems that he really wants to go to Yanjing for his father to retire." ”
As he spoke, he flicked his fingertips, and the piece of paper flew into the fire and turned to ashes. He said lightly: "If the old man insists on not going, my son-in-law will definitely come with the army." ”
Li Cuixian smiled: "No, adults will definitely go to Yanjing." ”
Li Pu said coldly: "Are you so sure? ”
Li Cuixian took a silk handkerchief and wiped her fingers, and said while wiping: "Okay, don't fake anymore." My family was originally a thief in Qilu, and he couldn't fight with Li Tang's eight poles. This kind of heel is now like a country, and my daughter is still the queen of the Ming Kingdom, and I will be the mother of the world. Our Li family didn't suffer at all! What else do adults have to deal with? ”
Li Pu was stunned.
"And the adults still want to fight for something for the Tang Kingdom, and they can't do anything in Daizhou, only when they go to Yanjing can they have hope."
Li Pu said: "What kind of territory does my good son-in-law want to give my son to build a country?" ”
Li Cuixian pondered for a while, "This time, Chen Dexing invited only the foreign kings of Goryeo, Japan, Sukhothai, and Annam...... Brother Nanshan's kingdom should be outside these countries. ”
was invited by the princes' conference, obviously qualified to enter China, of course Chen Dexing could not destroy these countries casually, let alone remove the monarch casually. Since this "Chen Li" has been formulated, of course, it must be observed, and Chen Dexing does not plan to dismantle his own stage. Without this "Chen Li", he really didn't dare to guarantee how long the peace and order of the Chinese world he created would last?
Li Pu thought for a while and said, "Khmer, right? ”
"Perhaps," Li Cuixian said, "if Brother Nanshan is not willing to travel far, the Khmer is also good." ”
"Far away? Where to go? ”
"How is Nan Mingzhou?" Li Cuixian said.
Li Pu sneered: "I don't know yet!" And ten sheep in sight can never compare to one sheep in hand! This Khmer country, but also the Khmer Rouge, which includes Cochin. It's better to be the land of my Datang there! In addition, it is best to do it quickly, the old man is old, and he is afraid that he will not see the time when the Tang Dynasty flag is raised!
