(Big chapter update, ask for tickets and collect)

In the city of Chorula, at the top of the Great Pyramid, the former smoke-filled and bustling Quetzalcoatl Temple is now shrouded in gloom.

- The hall, which burns with fragrant spices all day, now wafts with a strong stench of corpses; The walls, which were once painted with rich colored glaze, are now blackened by the flames; The delicate nursery, once full of flowers, has long been drowned in blood; The ancient statues of the gods, which had been passed down for thousands of years, were all smashed to pieces, leaving only debris everywhere...... The secluded and deep temple is like a black hole swallowing up endless light and heat, making people feel the darkness and coldness from the depths of their hearts.

This was the commanding height of the entire city of Chorula, the temporary station of the Spanish expeditions, and the headquarters of the massacre.

Cortés, who had just drunk a lot of corn wine, hummed a country tune from the Iberian Peninsula and strode into the dimly lit temple.

The faint light of a row of candles flickered slowly around the makeshift cross. An old preacher dressed in black was kneeling in front of the cross with a reverent expression, muttering scriptures. For all the Spanish murderers with blood on their hands, pray for God's blessing and protection.

“…… Hey! Our missionary, don't be busy chanting, come and see this! ”

Cortés staggered over to the missionary, let out a puff of wine, and greeted in a flirtatious tone.

Smelling Cortés' wine, the missionary immediately frowned, and when he turned around and saw the crystal skull he was carrying, the old missionary who was determined to spread the glory of God was even more furious: "...... Mr. Cortez! What are you doing here?! Why didn't you smash this evil idol of the pagans at once, and show it to me, a shepherd who serves the Lord? ”

“…… Hehe, don't be angry, the other idols have already been smashed by me! But on top of this crystal skull, I've found a strange place that I want to discuss with you! Cortez smiled and handed over the crystal skull, pointing to the small print at the bottom of the line that read "MadeinChina", "...... You see, it seems to be engraved with our European words, but unfortunately I can't understand which country it belongs to......"

“…… Uh, it's true that it's the European alphabet, but it's neither Latin nor French...... Sorry, I don't understand ...... either."

The missionary stroked the letters on the crystal skull, first thoughtfully, but then shook his head helplessly.

In the 16th century, when the Age of Discovery began, English was still a relatively obscure language for most Europeans. Not to mention foreigners, even among the early kings of England, there were quite a few people who only knew French but did not know English, such as Richard the Lionheart, who participated in the Third Crusade expedition to the Holy Land and fought Saladin in Jerusalem, who could not speak a word of English.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Spaniard Cortés and his men did not understand English.

What's more, the "Old English" of the British Isles of this era was also very different from the standard English of later generations.

Seeing that the most learned missionaries in the team could not recognize these strange letters, Cortés had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, turn around and pick up his arms, and slammed the crystal skull against the wall, smashing it on the spot - although such a beautiful crystal skull would certainly fetch a high price if brought back to Europe, as a devout Catholic, it was a more important duty to destroy all the evil idols of paganism.

Immediately after, in the courtyard outside the main hall, there was a sudden mournful wail, which shook the eardrums of the two people. …,

“…… What's going on here? Cortés walked out of the temple in some sense, and was surprised to find that some Indians, covered in blood, had just escaped alive from the courtyard of the temple, the pile of dead men of the massacre the day before yesterday!

Then, when the survivors met the Spaniards guarding the gates, they wept bitterly and begged the murderers for mercy and begged them to stop killing.

Of course, the ruthless Spanish robbers, who had no conscience, just let out a rampant daxiao, and once again chopped these Indians who had escaped death into pieces.

Then the missionary, who walked out of the temple with a pile of books in his arms and muttered something "merciful Lord", had no intention of stopping the slaughter, but threw into the fire the ancient Mayan manuscripts, pharmacopoeia recipes, story books, etc., which he had collected and written on deerskin and bark scrolls.

- The treasures of the Mayan, Toltec and Aztec civilizations, and the crystallization of the wisdom accumulated by the Native Americans over thousands of years, all turned into wisps of green smoke under the deliberate destruction of the Spanish conquistadors......

According to the original history, even this large pyramid would have been dismantled and destroyed by the Spaniards and transformed into a vulgar monastery.

After killing the few survivors of the temple, the Spaniards immediately began to greedily search for the corpses, and then there was a good harvest.

“…… Oh! Thank God! I've never seen a pearl this big! At the very least, it can be sold for thousands of pesos! ”

A bloodied Spanish soldier excitedly picks up a brilliant pearl the size of a pigeon's egg and shows it off to their commander, His Excellency Cortés.

“…… Oh, yes! Thank God Almighty for giving us such a rich, stupid, and weak group of infidels! ”

Cortez smiled and nodded, "...... I think we can ...... like we do now after meeting that Emperor Montezuma."

But in the next moment, his words were suddenly interrupted, and his pupils shrank sharply.

Because, from the high platform at the top of the pyramid, he saw a sudden orange-red fire in the distance, and heard a series of muffled thunderous noises!

——————————————————

With a piercing scream, thousands of "Drill Monkey" rockets erupted into a crimson tail flame, drawing arcs into the ranks of the Spaniards, and then exploded. Fragments of lead flew out of the fireball, burrowing into the gaps in the armor, and the unsuspecting cavalry fell off their horses.

Realistically speaking, this kind of "Drill Monkey" Liuyang Flower Cannon, which was produced as a festival toy, is indeed far from being comparable with real weapons in terms of accuracy and lethality, even if it is tied with lead wire that enhances the lethal effect, it is still the same - although this time thousands of rounds of ammunition were fired at once, but it did not kill any Spaniard on the spot, but only made them suffer some burns, scalds and scratches.

But on the other hand, its sound and light effects are excellent, and if it is used to scare people, there is really no more suitable one.

- For the Spaniards who were on expeditions to the Americas, gunpowder weapons capable of making a loud bang had always been the preserve of their side. At this moment, I suddenly saw a group of aborigines in strange costumes firing firearms at themselves, and it felt like modern people seeing a group of monkeys shooting at themselves with AK47s, and the impact and subversion they suffered mentally may far exceed the physical damage they suffered!

So some of them began to stop and hesitate, but others were so enraged that they screamed and continued to pounce. …,

However, the next round was even more violent, and the roar that almost burst the sky finally completely wiped out the courage in their chests.

More than 100 "cupola" large fireworks, spitting out the flames of hell, flew towards the Spaniards, who were already less than 100 meters away from the attacking position.

This kind of rocket, which can collapse the small concrete houses in rural China in later generations, used brilliant sparks and scorching air waves to instantly shatter the flesh and blood of the Spaniards. Even those who were far away from the landing point of the fireworks bomb were dazzled by the bright light of the burning magnesium powder, and were shocked by the shock wave of the bomb's detonation, and then covered their eyes or burned skin, and groaned extremely bitterly.

If this is a well-trained light cavalry unit, facing a pure infantry opponent who has absolute superiority in firepower and strength, it may be possible to try a roundabout outflanking and use the guerrilla tactics of the Mongol cavalry to slowly grind the relatively clumsy infantry phalanx to death. But the Spanish explorers were a rabble of unorganized and undisciplined people, mostly on foot, with only seven horses in total, three of which had been blown up......

So, in the face of the rows of black barrels (in fact, water pipes used as bazookas) in front of them, and the blades of knives that reflected the cold light in the scorching sun, the Spanish robbers' instinct to bully the weak and fear the hard quickly overcame the shame of fleeing at this moment—they let out a panicked cry together, and each turned around and ran. In addition to the three horses with broken legs, several corpses and two wounded stunned by the explosion were abandoned.

Seeing that the Spaniards turned around and fled, the traversers did not pursue, but only ordered a few samurai to go up with watermelon knives, stab the wounded and horses to death, and then began to change their clothes before the negotiation - according to Professor Yang, the relevant leaders in Beijing had already issued instructions by telephone, asking the comrades in front to give the Spaniards a false impression and let them think of the comrades as the Ming Dynasty of this era.

- Using old props from a film crew at a low price, the time-travelers quickly transform into makeshift costume actors. Professor Yang, who originally wore a tunic suit, changed into a bright red Ming Dynasty silk official uniform, while Ma Tong, Cai Rong and Wang Qiu each changed into a flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife for the Ming Dynasty brocade guard, and Cai Rong, as the head of the regiment, also wore a python robe (a robe with a python pattern, similar to the yellow coat of the Qing Dynasty).

As for His Excellency Wen Desi, it is even more incredible, he actually put on a bright yellow dragon robe and put up a yellow umbrella cover, like an emperor - originally wanted to arrange for him to play the role of a vassal king, but in a hurry, he only found a dragon robe worn by the emperor in the crew's props warehouse, and he could only make do with it first.

Of course, for everyone's safety, everyone wore a new layer of body armor under the costume, as well as thick military boots and wire gloves.

After everyone was dressed, Professor Yang clapped his hands and assigned roles to everyone.

“…… All right! From now on, Comrade Wen Desi, you are the hereditary Duke of the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong! I am the squire of the Ming Rites Department and the minister of the Imperial Mission, and I have full authority to handle the military and political affairs of the Americas, and I will read the holy decree later. Comrade Cai Rong's identity is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and Ma Tong and Wang Qiu are Jinyiwei's thousands of households. Today's Ming Dynasty is the reign of Emperor Zhengde, and this year is the fourteenth year of Zhengde...... Did you all get it? ”

If a person who is familiar with the official system of the Ming Dynasty is standing here, for such a strange combination, he will definitely immediately laugh off his big teeth - not to mention how the dynasty let the deputy commander of Jinyiwei envoy Fanbang, and from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the fall, how could there have been a strange thing of letting a woman take charge of Jinyiwei?

However, with this set of outfits, it should be enough to deceive the Spaniards in the East with "Marco Polo's Travels".

However, Wen Dehei, who has just been promoted to the "Duke of the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty", still seems to be a little dissatisfied with this set.

“…… Since we want to play the colonial officials of the Ming Dynasty in this era, we have to do a full set of acts, at least decent! ”

Wen Desi, who was wearing the emperor's dragon robe, pointed to the sea of five-star red flags and sickle and hammer party flags in the ranks, and said with a smile, "...... What is this? Ming Dynasty people with five-star red flags? ”

“…… No way, senior! There are not a few dragon flags in that crew, which is not enough to equip the whole army. Considering the 24 times difference in time flow between the two sides, it was too late to do it temporarily. Among the stocks in the public warehouses, only the national flag and the party flag have the largest number......"

Wang Qiu sighed helplessly and explained with a wry smile, "...... Anyway, let's make do with it first! ”

As a result, the army, which had raised the five-star red flag and the sickle and hammer party flag, moved forward again under the embarrassed gaze of the traversers.

Then, the traversers no longer cared about any embarrassment.

- Because, a bloody slaughterhouse as cruel as hell is unfolding in front of their eyes!
