However, even if they are worshipped as gods by the natives, they are still just a bunch of rookies with little experience.

For example, when Wang Qiu jumped off the sedan chair and walked into the red simple house where the archangel Wen Desi lived, he heard Wen Desi pointing to a pile of pink cardboard boxes that had just been shipped, and yelling at the stunned senior sister Ma Tong:

“…… Play the piano around! The country is obviously seriously underpopulated, what condom do you still wear? Everyone has the obligation to increase production and serve the country! ”

“…… Even so, the problem of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases cannot be ignored! ”

Senior Sister Ma Tong also roared back without showing weakness, "...... Look at the people out there, how many of them have syphilis? Although penicillin is indeed effective for this disease, the consequences are still very serious! Do you want your army to be like the Japanese intervention army that landed in Vladivostok to participate in the Soviet Russian civil war, because it messed with the old Maozi's slutty woman, and was destroyed by venereal disease before you saw the enemy? ”

-- Like potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, and corn, syphilis is a specialty of the New World.

Of course, unlike smallpox, which later caused almost the genocide of the Indians in the Americas, syphilis is a disease that has been with the Indians for thousands of years. Therefore, the Indians have some immunity to it, and the problems caused are not too serious. This is even less of a problem after the Travelers brought modern antibiotics – and now syphilis has not yet had time to evolve resistance.

However, Senior Sister Ma Tong saw some potential business opportunities from this aspect, so she got a lot of condoms of various flavors from modern times, planning to promote this thing, so as to prevent STDs from the root.

But the problem is that His Excellency Wen Dehei's current population policy is "more births are glorious", not jihua births...... As a result, there was a conflict between the two sides.

Seeing such a senseless quarrel, Wang Qiu immediately came over to play a round.

“…… Senior Sister Ma Tong, Senior Wende, for this kind of thing that is not a top priority, you should stop arguing. Neither the fertility rate nor the syphilis were prevented as fast as the Spanish invaders - it was the late autumn of 1518! A few months later, the famous Spanish conquistador Honan. Cortés is about to set sail from the island of Cuba to Mexico...... For us, the days of peace are numbered, I wonder if the literary director has thought of a comprehensive countermeasure? ”

Wen Desi and Ma Tong looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Professor Yang, who was studying the sand table map in the corner of the room - in this small team, Professor Yang was the only one who had actually experienced war when he was young, so he had always been studying the future battle against the Spaniards.

So far, however, he has not been heard to propose any detailed strategic proposals.

As if noticing everyone's gaze, Professor Yang took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed his temples, and coughed lightly a few times in some distress, "...... Ahem, comrades, this strategy is really difficult to formulate! Over the next two years, we will not only defend against the Spanish invasion, but at the same time use the storm of the Spanish invasion to weaken the supremacy of the Aztec Empire and create a favorable surrounding environment for the kingdom of Hungshutizgan...... There are so many variables lurking in there.

And the strength and strength of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan are very limited. In the meantime, it's still unclear who will be enemies and who will be allies - and let's not forget, so many modern goods that we're dumping in Mexico have already had a huge butterfly effect on this shijie. Now, none of us can speculate whether the Aztec Emperor Montezuma will be as stupid as he was in history in the coming year. And the commander of the Spaniards, Colster, can he turn the tide of danger as he has repeatedly done in history.........

Therefore, there are many things that can only be seen and dismantled, and there is no way to plan in advance. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Yang changed the conversation again, "...... However, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and intelligence comes first. After all, the information recorded in the history books is not as real as what you have witnessed. I think that no matter what strategy we are going to implement in the future, we should lead our team into the northern valley of Mexico before the Spaniards arrive, and walk around the capital of the Aztec Empire, or at least familiarize ourselves with the future main battlefield. Do you have any opinion on this? ”

……

Two days later, under the pretext of renewing the peace treaty with the Aztec Empire, a small army with a guard of honor set out from Hope Port, the new capital of the Hungshutizgan Kingdom, and began to climb the majestic Southern Madre Mountains and go inland.

The target of their expedition was the largest city in the Western Hemisphere of this era, the capital of the Aztec Empire, located on the Mexican plateau.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In November 1518, during the crisp dry season, a small army was trudging through the rugged mountain roads leading to the Valley of Mexico.

From a modern perspective, the members of this army include a total of 20 ladyboys, 50 old boys, 200 migrant workers at construction sites, 50 pig slaughterers in slaughterhouses, and more than 500 coolies carrying large bags...... Doesn't that sound a little weird?

So, let's translate a little bit here.

The army of the Hungshutizgan Kingdom, which went to the territory of the Aztec Empire under the banner of envoys to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, was led by about 20 nobles of the Hungshutizgan kingdom covered in bird feathers and metal rings. Below are 50 people in plastic slippers, armed with watermelon knives and poisoned modern bows, dressed in beach pants and small tank tops, with oil paint on their faces, looking like traditional Indian warriors of the old boys; and 200 light infantry soldiers wearing blue short-sleeved overalls, stainless steel kitchen knives around their waists, spears and yellow helmets, resembling construction workers; Zuihou also has 50 heavy infantry equipped with the full-body metal cut-proof safety suits of modern slaughterhouse workers, carrying long-handled axes and large pig-killing knives in their hands - this kind of full-body metal cut-proof clothing for modern slaughterhouses is a proper heavy infantry full-body armor in ancient times, and the protection is definitely no worse than the iron cans of Western knights!

Of course, wearing such a bulky full-body armor on a bumpy mountain road will definitely be difficult to walk. Therefore, these high-ranking heavy infantry all took off the anti-cut clothing assigned to them at this time, and handed them over to the porter behind to be responsible for carrying them, while they themselves advanced lightly.

Tragically, the gender ratio of this army is very problematic, except for the 50 archers, the rest of the civilian light infantry and butcher heavy infantry are all women. The ratio of men to women in combatants is about 1:5 (porters who carry goods do not count as combat effectiveness).

-- There is no way, although the total population of the kingdom of Honshutizgan has now recovered from 20,000 to 80,000 or 90,000, but the problem of the imbalance between men and women has not been effectively solved.

Because, after the fall of the kingdom of Honshutizgan, most of those ambitious and strong men crossed the mountains and mountains to defect to the allies Tlaxcala, and then they were besieged by the Aztec Empire with heavy troops, and since then they have been cut off from the outside world.

The tribes that remained in the kingdom's homeland were mainly old and weak, women and children. Even after the Awaha chieftain unified the scattered tribes and re-ascended the throne as king in Hope Harbor, he deducted those newly defected foreigners, and the young and strong men of the Hongshu Tizgans who lived in Hope Harbor were only four or five thousand, and there were only a few hundred noble warriors who were really capable of fighting. …,

To make matters worse, even the slaves trafficked in by slave traders from all over the world were mainly female slaves - it is well known that the main source of slaves in ancient societies was usually captives in various wars. But the problem is that, according to the traditional customs of the Mesoamerican peoples, male captives are generally dragged up to the pyramids and disemboweled, and sacrificed to the gods, and only women are left behind as slaves. Unless there were too many male prisoners of war, more than the number required for human sacrifice, they would be used as slaves.

As a result, the "goods" in the hands of the slave traders were naturally mainly female slaves, and there were very few male slaves who could be used to fight.

What's more, all of you who have studied history know that the excessive abuse of barbarian mercenaries in the later period of the ancient Roman Empire, while ignoring reliable citizen soldiers, eventually led to the tragic consequences of barbarian rebellions and the collapse of the entire empire.

Therefore, until the integration of races is completed, the use of warriors of other races must be restricted, at least not allowed to be used as the main force.

However, the young and strong men of the Hongshutizgan people are too few and too expensive at present, and they still have to be kept for breeding and having children! What to do?

Easy to do! Since there are not enough men, then let women be soldiers!

It is equipped with stainless steel knives and axes that are ahead of the times, metal cut-proof suits that are even more ahead of the times, as well as harpoons, earthen muskets, Molotov cocktails, and large firecrackers wrapped in iron filings...... After a series of murderous weapons, Wen Desi felt that there should be no problem in letting sturdy Indian women go to war - for example, he himself could not defeat his wife, Princess Marka......

As a result, General Wen ordered the recruitment of soldiers from among the women of the Hongshutizgan people to form a new army, and soon pulled up an army of 7,000 women.

-- After the Grand Chief of Avaha officially ascended the throne and became king, the status of Wendehei also rose. His current title, which translates to "Great General" in Chinese, prefers to refer to himself as "Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces Liliang", or Commander-in-Chief of Wen.

However, because although Wen Desi got a bunch of books on the art of war to study all day, after all, he had no actual combat experience, let alone some common sense of war in the Stone Age - there has never been a history in which the art of war was written in the Stone Age - in order to avoid himself from making fatal low-level mistakes in the battle like Zhao Kuo, who talked about soldiers on paper and buried 400,000 troops in the Battle of Changping, Wen Desi hired Achinbona, a female warrior who fled from the Aztec Empire, to serve as the top adviser of the Seven Thousand Women's Army. Sometimes he will also make a cameo appearance as the actual combat commander of this strange army.

To Wen Desi's surprise, the elders and nobles of the Hungshutizgan Kingdom had no opinion on this appointment, which he originally thought would encounter great resistance, and even said that "it should have been done a long time ago".

It turns out that although the samurai of the Hongshutizgan people also had a time of dominance and invincibility, among the major shili of the current Mesoamerican Indian civilization, the Hongshutizgans are recognized as the most invincible.

In contrast, the Tlaxcalans were close to the Aztec capital, and fought fiercely against the elite main forces of the Aztec Empire for nearly a century. Now, although the Tlaxcalas are in a very difficult situation, they have not yet been defeated.

As for the people of Hunghitizgan, hiding behind the towering mountains, enjoying the peace for decades, and then fighting with an Aztec army on an expedition for only four years, they brought the whole country to a ruin, and the population of 600,000 was reduced to less than 100,000 - in fact, even those tribes who had been forced to submit to the Aztec Empire, although they still lost, were not so badly beaten on the battlefield! …,

Under such a heavy blow, even the people of Hungshutizgan themselves lost confidence in their own military skills.

As the saying goes, the enemy is the best teacher, and before the "gods" have shown any ability to destroy the world, it is not a bad idea to let the warriors of the enemy country teach the cowards of their own clan.

Now, Achin Bona is the guide of this army, leading Wen Deji and others from Hope Port to the city of Tenochtitlan.

From Port of Hope (later Acapulco) to Ciudad Tenochtitlan (later Mexico City), the straight-line distance on the map is about 300 kilometers, which may not seem too far at first glance. But the problem is that Port Hope is located on the beach on the Pacific coast, with an average altitude of less than 20 meters. The city of Tenochtitlan, on the other hand, is high above the Mexican plateau, with an average altitude of 2,250 meters!

Just a number seems a bit hollow, so here is an example: the altitude of Mount Tai is 1,532 meters, and the altitude of Mount Fuji is 3,776 meters. A trip from the Pacific coast to Mexico City is the equivalent of climbing 1.5 Tarzan Tarzan or 2/3 of Mount Fuji on foot......

And that's the height of the Valley of Mexico, and the many mountains that stretch between the valley and the coast have their peaks above the snow line!

In short, the endless bumpy mountain roads, the perennial snow on the hills, and the drastic changes in climate and vegetation give the traveler the feeling of an Indian living on the banks of the Ganges River crossing the Himalayas into Tibet.

It is no wonder that the Aztecs, after establishing a powerful empire, have not been very interested in conquering the kingdom of Honshutizgan, and after a slight setback after a great victory, they have cleanly withdrawn their troops - such a huge difference in climate alone is simply not adaptable!

Therefore, the 300 kilometers of road on the map, the envoys of the Hungshutizgan Kingdom did not take a month to complete.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although the land is barren and sparsely populated, there are still a few villages scattered in the valley along the way. Moreover, the attitude of the villagers towards the people of Hongshutizgan is quite friendly. They could exchange them for corn and chili peppers and other food that were popular everywhere, such as refined salt, sugar, matches, fruit knives, antibiotic pills, etc., so that they would not stop halfway.

-- The Indian porters, who accompanied the army, could carry up to 30 kilograms of luggage on long journeys, and after deducting the necessary weapons, clothing, blankets, and goods, the legation set out with only 10 days' rations, and the rest of the shortfall had to be procured along the way.

Some of the soldiers who could not adapt to the alpine climate and fell ill on the way could also recuperate in those villages and wait for the return journey to pick them up.

But even so, the trip still exhausted everyone, even Wen Deji in a sedan chair.

The only exception seems to be the Aztec warrior Achimpona, who was born and raised in the mountains. At this time, although she was also covered with dust, she was still in good spirits, which was in stark contrast to the tired Hongshutizgan soldiers around her.

“…… Venerable Archangel, as long as we climb the mountain ahead, we will enter the valley. ”

Achin Bona took a few steps forward with a battle axe on her back, approached the palanquin of Wen Desi, and respectfully reported to the general who had been drowsy in the bumps along the way, "...... Excuse me, should I invite you plague gods to descend to earth? ”

After witnessing the various powers of the "gods", as well as the incomparably sharp steel swords and axes in his hands, and tasting the intoxicating liquor, this Aztec muscular warrior who was still a little arrogant became extremely humble to Wen Deji and the others. …,

“…… Yes...... Is it almost there? Then it's really time to prepare. Stop the car! The whole army stopped advancing and camped here to rest today! ”

Hearing that the destination was already close at hand, Wen Desi immediately suddenly woke up, quickly turned over and got out of the sedan chair, and issued the above order.

With his order, the soldiers and coolies whose legs had long been numb immediately fell to the ground, making Advisor Achimpona, who was still full of energy, look at it with disdain for a while.

Then, Wen Desi pulled out a trolley case from under the seat of the sedan chair, found a flat open space on the side of the road, and opened it lightly.

The next moment, the wormhole that emitted a trace of black gas slowly floated up from the box and hung in midair.

And all the members of the mission around him, no matter how tired they were, moved their bodies respectfully and bowed in this direction.

But Wen Dehei, the "archangel", is obviously not so respectful. I saw him take out a notebook of sticky notes, tear off a page casually, scribble something with a ballpoint pen in his pocket, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the wormhole, in order to remind the compatriots in the modern shijie opposite.

About an hour later, with a flash of white light, the four "plague gods" instantly appeared in front of everyone in the mission.

At the same time, there is also Cai Rong's energetic Lori Meng Yin.

“…… Shhhh Mexico seems to be tropical, right? Why did it get like this? Ahh ”

“…… I can't help it, Commander! Who said this place is 2,000 meters above sea level? Let's hurry up and put this leather jacket on! Otherwise, if you catch a cold, it's still a trivial matter for you to freeze out of a cold, and if there is another big plague in this shijie, it will be a tragedy......"

Wang Qiu was nagging like this with some mothers-in-law, and at the same time put on a bright red leather jacket for Cai Rong.
