One hundred and thirty-seven, the white sails in the Pacific Ocean
In September 1520, Port Hope was located on a tropical seashore that looks like summer all year round, so it was still a beautiful green area.
Princess Maca, who rules the area, dressed in a simple bra wrap and tube skirt, is accompanied by her guards and patrols the farmland on the outskirts of the city.
Although it was the morning and the sun had not been out for long, the sand pavement was already hot.
Treading on the sun-soaked paths and breathing in the heat-like air, even Princess Maca, who had long been accustomed to tropical life, felt as if she was in a furnace, her nose seemed to be about to emit smoke, and her mind was dizzy and irritable.
Such a scorching sun, when there is no wind, can simply give people the illusion that the entire shijie has been stagnant.
But just by looking at the lush and vigorous crops around her, Princess Maca's mood brightens – whether it is corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat or rice, thanks to the good seeds and fertilizers brought by the "man of God", they are growing very happily.
It seems to be due to a thunderstorm that has just fallen, and there is always a hint of earth in the warm and humid air.
Although there was a drought in Mexico this year, the rain on the port of hope was not too low, and with the construction of small reservoirs, dams and irrigation canals, the crops in the fields were largely not drought.
All in all, the crop should be doing well this year, and if there are no surprises, a good harvest can be expected.
The good growth of the crops in the territory, and the beautiful harvest that lies ahead, certainly made everyone happy, but what made Princess Maca even more happy was the good news from the distant Mexican highlands.
Her husband, the "god-man" Wendehei who came from afar in a steel boat, with the help of several other "godmen", after more than a year of expeditions and fierce battles, first defeated the white-skinned devil who crossed the sea from the east, and then tamed the powerful former overlord Aztecs, and now has conquered all of Mexico, becoming the most noble monarch in this land, the great emperor above all tribes and city-states!
What a glorious victory, what a great victory!!
In a short period of time, the kingdom of Hungshutizgan, which had been destroyed by the Aztecs and forced to flee to the desolate seashore, not only achieved a complete revival, but also created a great feat far superior to that of previous kings!
Although it was a pity that the Aztecs had not been ruthless enough to slaughter the hateful Aztecs, Princess Maca and some of the Honshutizgans in the rear - they all remembered the deep hatred of the Aztec expeditionary force for the destruction of the kingdom of Honshutizgan in 1513 - but the thought of making these old enemies who had terrified her tremble like dogs fell to their feet and begged for mercy made Princess Maca feel very relieved.
Wendesi's old father-in-law, King Avaha, after receiving the good news from the Scud messenger, smiled silly all day long - when Wendesi led his army on the expedition, King Avaha's greatest hope for his trip was to recover some of the fallen territories of the Honshutizgan Kingdom in the southern Madre Mountains, to ensure the survival of his people, and to sign an equal peace treaty with the Aztec Empire, without having to pay tribute to them. Who knew that his good son-in-law had far exceeded the task, allowing the long-decaying kingdom of Hongshutizgan to turn over from a small and weak country in the middle of nowhere, to become the supreme overlord of the whole of Mexico!
In the past, the Aztecs fought for decades to fight the hegemony throne, and the Honshutizgans actually grabbed it in only one year! …,
The old king almost had a heart attack with such joy that he was relieved of his breath, and as soon as he was relieved, he was ready to wait for the official ceremony of the throne as soon as he returned, and to give the throne to this capable son-in-law, who had been blessed by the gods—according to the situation described by the previous messenger, and counting the footsteps, it seems that the triumphant procession of the moon was not far from here, and it should have arrived at Hope Harbor in the last two days.
In this way, it seems that my side must hurry up and prepare a sumptuous and lively welcome banquet for her victorious husband.
Alas, it is a pity that although the grain in the city is abundant, and there are some meat dogs and edible lizards, most of the fruits are not yet ripe, and many vegetables such as water spinach, radish, and onions are not ready to be harvested...... The ingredients that can be taken out seem to be a bit monotonous.
Why don't you organize the warriors of the city to go hunting in the forest these days, and come back with some rare birds, rabbits, and pheasants as a special dish at the banquet, and let the fishermen go out to sea a few more times, try to get as many seafood as possible such as fish and shells, and make some grilled fish and seafood soup?
“…… Whoa—whoa—whoa—"
Just as Princess Maca was looking down and contemplating the dishes for the reception, a piercing scream suddenly cut off her thoughts.
She looked up and saw a few fireworks spewing out a crimson tail flame, dragging long smoke into the sky. A moment later, from the top of the pyramid in the city, a series of drums were heard indicating the invasion of foreign enemies.
“…… Alarm fireworks? Rising from the sea? Could it be that the Mayans in Tehuantepec City have not learned enough and are looking for death again?! ”
Recalling the attack of the Mayan army in Tehuantepec last year, the princess couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows and mutter. Then, she turned her head and saw a wooden watchtower next to her, so she immediately climbed up with agility, and then took a small 40x military telescope from her neck—this was a gift from Wang Qiu and others—and brought the eyepiece to her eyes and looked towards the sea in the west.
The next moment, Princess Maca blinked involuntarily and was stunned in great surprise.
Because, through the binoculars in her hand, she saw several strange ships that seemed to be huge like fortresses, as well as eye-catching white sails standing majestically!
After a few seconds of froze, the princess quickly remembered the "movie" that Wen Deji had shown her, and there were many similar scenes in it.
“…… This is...... From the other side of the ocean, aboard a fleet of white-skinned devils?! ”
Princess Maca put down her binoculars and muttered to herself in disbelief for a moment, "...... But shouldn't the fleet of white-skinned devils only appear on the seas of the Totonaks of the East? Could it be that these ships can fly across the vast land and come to the other side of Shijie? ”
