Although most people in later generations have the impression that when they think of the ancient civilizations of the Americas, they will think of the Aztec Empire, the Mayans and the Inca Empire. But in fact, the kingdom of Huexotzingo, located on the Pacific coast of southern Mexico, has a much longer history than the Aztec Empire. Although the country was weakened in the 16th century, it had its share of glory days.

Around 1359, the heyday of the kingdom of Hun Tizgan marched into the Mexican Valley, capturing the holy city of Chorula and conquering many of the tribes surrounding the valley, thus briefly dominating all of Central America.

At that time, the Aztecs were just a group of poor people who had just migrated from the northern desert, and they could only work as mercenaries to eat and eat on a part-time basis, and they were driven around by the natives of the Mexican Valley, without even a foothold.

However, with the rapid rise of the Aztec Empire in the 15th century, the kingdom of Honshutizgan also went into a downward spiral. First driven out of the Valley of Mexico, then with the loss of some of its vassal tribes, Zuihou has encroached on even the core hinterland of the Pacific coast.

Thus, from the first half of the 15th century, in order to resist the rapid expansion of the Aztecs, the city-states of Cholula near the Valley of Mexico, the united tribes of Tlaxcala, and the kingdom of Hungshutizgan on the Pacific coast, as well as a large number of their respective vassal tribes, formally signed a three-power alliance in an attempt to join forces against the rapidly expanding Aztec Empire, thus opening a full-scale war in Central America.

Although the Triple Alliance seemed to be large and outnumbered, it was really no match for the Aztecs when it actually started to fight - after several defeats, the city of Chorula, which had a long-standing feud with the kingdom of Honsiutizgan, was the first to break the treaty and rebel, becoming a vassal and accomplice of the Aztec Empire.

And the long-decayed kingdom of Hun Hutizgan, after repeated defeats, also gave up the dream of occupying the fertile Mexican valley to compete for hegemony in Central America again, and withdrew its army and tribes to the poor countryside on the Pacific coast, and basically became a soy sauce player in the subsequent wars.

Zuihou, only the brave and resolute Tlaxcala, the fierce tribe that would follow the Spaniards in destroying the Aztec Empire in the future, is still fighting the Aztecs year after year - the Zutara Valley they occupy is only separated by a volcano from the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlan, and the palace of the Aztec emperor can be seen from the mountain, and if you are not willing to give in, you really have nowhere to hide.

Although the Aztecs had an absolute advantage in men and money, the Tlaxcalas never gave in, relying on the difficult terrain.

Historically, this life-and-death contest between the Tlaxcalas and the Aztecs did not end with the conquest of Central America by the Spanish colonizers.

On the other hand, although the kingdom of Honshutizgan had actually withdrawn from the war long ago, this did not mean that the Aztec Empire was willing to let go of this old rival. It was only because of the high mountains and the long distance, and the fact that most of the land of the Hungshutizgans was relatively barren and had nothing particularly worth plundering, that the Aztecs temporarily used their main forces on the rest of the front. And as soon as there is a surplus of troops and finances, they will immediately retaliate.

As a result, after the Aztec Empire basically conquered the surrounding areas of the Mexican Valley, forced more than 300 tribes to submit to Nagon, and defeated the Tlaxcalas three times in a row, forcing them to retreat to the Zutara Valley, and was no longer able to take the initiative to attack, the Hunsutizgans on the Pacific coast finally became the next target of this militarized power. …,

From 1508 to 1513, under the command of Emperor Montezuma II, the Aztec army turned around and crossed the majestic and precipitous Sierra Madre do Sul to the south, and began to attack the kingdom of Honshutizgan on the Pacific coast.

As a result, the Hungshutizgans, whose overall strength was far inferior to that of the Aztec Empire and who had not experienced war for many years, suffered devastating blows in several brutal wars, with the king and most of the royal family killed in battle, and the entire country was torn apart.

The bustling capital city of Hunsutizgan, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre do Sul, was also captured by tens of thousands of Aztec troops, slaughtered and then set on fire, leaving Zuihou with only a pile of weedy and corpse-strewn ruins.

The kingdom of Hungshutizgan, which had a population of 600,000 before the war, lost most of its territory and all its vassal tribes. The remnants of the Honshitizgans were also scattered, and several of the tribes were beaten by the Aztec pursuers and had no way to enter the earth, so they had to abandon their homeland and flee north to the land of their allies, the Tlaxcalas, relying on the reception and shelter of their allies, and temporarily survived.

In the territory of the original Honsiutizgan Kingdom, most of the survivors also submitted to the Aztec Empire, obediently paying all kinds of tribute and human sacrifices, just to get the forgiveness of the Montezuma Emperor.

Only the elder king's younger brother, Chief Avaha, the father-in-law of Wendehe, fled the capital with about 20,000 men after the defeat and retreated to a remote coastal area, narrowly escaped the Aztec army, and established a regime in exile.

Logically speaking, the legitimacy of the Avaha's regime in exile was the greatest obstacle to the complete conquest of the Aztec kingdom of Honshutizgan. And the politically skilled Emperor Montezuma II did make this lingering exile regime the primary target that must be destroyed in the next expedition - it was clear that the defeat of the remnants of the Avaha chieftain would never be able to withstand the next round of crusade.

Thankfully, in 1515, Montezuma II once again attacked the Tlaxcala League, but suffered an unprecedented defeat, destroying tens of thousands of troops, and the Aztec Empire's rule over Mexico was in crisis, and rebellions erupted everywhere.

Therefore, this emperor can only be busy stabilizing the rear first, and for the time being, he can't care about exterminating the remote Hongshutizgans.

Although the crisis of the collapse of the country was temporarily lifted, the overall situation of the kingdom of Hungyutizgan, which was only one breath away from death, still did not show much of the situation in favor - most of their country was in ruins, and only the most inhospitable corner of the seashore remained. The former capital, Hungshutizgan, was burned to the ground by the Aztecs and has been unable to clean up and rebuild.

What's worse is that most of the nobles and priests of the Honshutizgan Kingdom were captured by the Aztec army, and then their hearts were dug up alive on the pyramid altar of Tenochtitlan to sacrifice to the gods, which led to the collapse of the entire political organization.

And the only reliable allies, the Tlaxcalas, who were also exhausted from the war and had been surrounded by the vassal tribes of the Aztec Empire, were already very reluctant to protect themselves, and it was impossible to spare Liliang to help the distant Honshutizgans.

So, by the time the Aztec Empire had recovered from its last defeat and was able to launch its next expedition to the south, it would have been the death of the Honsiutizgans, a fate that would have been almost foregone if the Spaniards had not come.

So, in the midst of this despair, the steamboat traveled five hundred years to the beaches of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan, and brought with it many wonderful objects that the natives had never seen before, so that the desperate chief of Avaha thought it a gift from heaven.

From this moment on, the torrent of history began to appear slightly distorted.
