When people talk about American civilization, they always think of the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization first.

However, the Aztec civilization was not established for a long time, they were originally nomads living in North America, and only entered the Mexican basin in the 11th and 12th centuries, and it was not until around the establishment of the Ming Dynasty that the Aztecs established their own state power.

Before the Aztec civilization, the local people who ruled Mexico were known as the Toltecs, and their successive leaders established large cities such as Tolan City and Dura City, adopted the ritual of Quetzalcoatl, and called themselves "Quetzalcoatl".

The Toltec influence on Mesoamerican civilization was profound, and his Quetzalcoatl ritual, along with other Toltec systems, such as the Order of Merit classification as "Coyote", "Jaguar", and "Eagle", was used in many important Mayan cities south of Yukatun.

Cities such as Chichen Itza and Mayapan used these systems in this way, indicating that the Toltecs had a very wide influence.

The appearance of the Toltecs also marked the rise of the martial spirit in Mesoamerica. They are also known for their architecture and handicrafts, and are said to have been the first to make metal artefacts in the Americas, with giant porticoes, serpentine columns, giant portrait columns, flag-bearers in the form of humans and beasts, and a recumbent statue of two gods.

But such a glorious civilization only originated around 900 AD, that is, only established at the end of the Tang Dynasty, before the Toltecs there was a civilization that did not leave any written description, the Toltecs called it the Teotihuacan civilization, and in ancient times China also had a name for this civilization, that is, Fusang.

The Teotihuacan civilization began around 200 BC after the demise of the most primitive Olmec civilization in the Americas, and was a Paleo-Indian civilization around the same time as the Mayan civilization.

However, unlike other ancient Indian civilizations, the origins of the Teotihuacan people remain a mystery to this day, and no one has been able to confirm that the civilization ever had written and documented it.

According to later archaeological discoveries, the Teotihuacan people appeared in central Mexico in 200 BC and built a city with a population of about 50,000 between AD 1 and 150, which can be said to be the earliest city-level settlement in the entire Americas.

In 450 A.D., the year of the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Southern Chinese Dynasty Liu and Song, leaving the regret of Yuanjia hastily, the Western Rome of Europe has been completely destroyed, and the Eastern Rome is trembling under the iron hooves of the Hun Attila, but the development of the city and civilization of the Teotihuacan civilization has reached its peak.

According to the estimation of the scale of the ruins of later generations, the population of the civilization capital of Teotihuacan at that time may have been between 125,000 and 200,000, and the city was the political, civilizational, and economic center of Mesoamerica at that time with huge architecture, exquisite murals and other cultural achievements.

However, between 650 and 750 A.D., such a glorious civilization inexplicably declined for unknown reasons, and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of writing, so that the Toltecs who came here later called it 'the land where the gods created man'.

According to the time when the Futu monk Huishen arrived in Fusang during the Southern Liang period, it was around 520 A.D. at this time, although the Teotihuacan civilization was already in decline, but it was still a great civilization, but what Chen Duan didn't expect was that he had just come here and encountered war.

Originally, Chen Duan wanted to learn about the civilization here from the descendants of Huishen here, but unexpectedly, the war had destroyed this small city, and the descendants of the Han people who lived here at the beginning certainly didn't know where they went.

Of course, Chen Duan was not willing to do this, he personally led a team to the inland, and encountered many abandoned cities along the way, although the scale of the cities was not large, but the damage was so serious.

Until he went deep into the interior for nearly a hundred miles, he was suddenly surprised to find that there was a team of natives who surrounded him violently, and they were going to kill their own people regardless of whether they were good or bad, if it weren't for Chen Duan's strong martial arts and careful observation, I am afraid that he would be surrounded by this group of people if he was not careful.

However, even if Chen Duan's martial arts are strong, it is impossible to defeat an army, although the weapons in the hands of this army are so rough, seeing that the situation is not good, he quickly led the people around him to flee back and forth, fortunately, Chen Duan found those people in time, so he boarded the ship before these indigenous tribes caught up.

After arriving on the boat, Chen Duan was in the mood to take a closer look at these people, although these natives on the shore were also as described in the book of Huishen's disciples, they looked no different from the Han people, they all had yellow skin, gentle facial features, black hair and eyes.

However, the bodies are all painted with red and white paints, and several of them wear hats made of colorful bird feathers, which look no different from the dress of the Shaohao Dongyi tribe in ancient China. U9 eBook

What makes people feel funny is that the hair on the heads of many of these aborigines is coiled into two buns, one on one side of the head, just like the fish doll pasted in the New Year's painting of the Xia Kingdom, but this hairstyle baby is cute, and these aborigines are extremely funny dressed like this.

After Chen Duan saw this scene, he guessed that these natives should have destroyed the country where Huishen and these people were kept, and the disciples of Huishen also said that the natives in this land were docile and very friendly to outsiders, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, thinking of this, Chen Duan couldn't help but feel irritable.

However, it turned out that there was no endless road, and just when Chen Duan was irritable, Mi Ke, who was exploring in the other direction, suddenly had a shocking news, it turned out that there was a wide river dozens of miles to the south.

At present, the country of Fuso is bounded by this river, and the nomads from the land further north to the north take advantage of the opportunity of the struggle for the throne in Fuso and the great loss of national strength to go south, but under the obstruction of this big river, they only occupy a part of the land in the north, and the south of the river is still the land of Fuso.

In other words, Chen Duan and the others were in the middle of the battle between the two sides, and were regarded by these invading nomads as reinforcements from other countries invited by the Fusang State, which was the most fundamental reason why Chen Duan was attacked by these armies.

What surprised Chen Duan even more was that Mi Ke not only found the soldiers and civilians of the Fusang Kingdom who had not yet perished, but he even found the current location of the Huishen descendants, which was on the other side of the river, in a river bend, in addition to these people, there were also local aborigines as monks.

These people lived two or three hundred miles south of where Chen Duan and they stayed, at the mouth of a large river, where the fertile soil from the river settled, providing large tracts of fertile land for growing crops on both banks, and the wide and turbulent waters of the river also blocked the invasion of nomadic enemies from the north.

The only regret that Chen Duan felt was that this town was so small, far inferior to the small town that was abandoned because of the war where these people lived, and the town was actually a larger village, and the entire settlement was only more than 2,000 people.

Fifty years have passed since Hui Shen first came here, and even the youngest of the Han people who followed Hui Shen here had grown old five years ago, and Chen Duan felt comforted by the fact that most of the residents of this town were the offspring of sailors and local indigenous women who had been brought with Hui Shen when he crossed east.

Because those Han old people have not been dead for a long time, these Han descendants can still speak very fluent Chinese, although these accents have a strong Wu Yue emphasis, but it is much better than not understanding anything, and more importantly, these Han descendants learned that Chen Duan and they were also from the other side of the ocean, and they were very friendly to Chen Duan, who also came on a big boat.

With the introduction of the locals, Chen Duan knew that seven or eight years ago, the old king of Fusang suddenly died of a vicious disease, because he did not leave a will, which led to several powerful princes fighting for the throne, but the high priest, who also had a high status in the country, was suddenly assassinated by accident, so the whole country fell into chaos.

In the battle for the throne, a prince colluded with the more barbaric and backward Hopi and Damper people further north to invade the kingdom in order to seize the throne, but the prince did not expect that these barbarians, who only wanted some possessions, would never leave after seeing the prosperity of the city.

The prince decided to kill the barbarians because he did not want his kingdom to fall into the hands of the barbarians, but because his own army was too scumbag, he not only did not expel the mercenaries, but he himself died.

Although the other princes were not willing to let the country fall, but none of them were willing to give up the position of king to others, and they continued to fail when they continued to fight against these two tribes, if it were not for the tall city of Tolan City, the capital of the country, and the obstruction of the great river in front of them, I am afraid that the Hopi and Zuni would have already captured the entire territory of Fuso.

After a few years of war, the cities of the original kingdom were destroyed by the continuous wars between the two sides around the city, so the dampers left the area, and now only the Hopi occupy the northern territory, that is, the indigenous army that had tried to attack Chen Duan.

These people in the town were able to escape the catastrophe long before the war began, because the old man had experience and moved here in advance when he saw that the situation was not good.

The descendants of the Han people in the town have faintly heard about the Central Plains, when the old Han people did not pass away, from time to time some people will miss the original Central Plains, I have to say that the Southern Liang period is a cultural prosperity in Chinese history, and the country's economy is highly prosperous.

When these people left Nanliang, it was Xiao Liang in a period of rising national power, and it is no wonder that these old people will miss the Central Plains, but after these old people all died, the descendants of the Han people who were born here did not know much about the Central Plains, so no one talked about these anymore.

As for the fact that a disciple of Huishen went to the Central Plains, some old people in their fifties and sixties in the town also had some vague impressions, saying that when they were young, there were indeed several monks who had taken a boat together to find a way back to the Central Plains, but they never came back after they went.

When they learned that Chen Duan and others came to Fusang along the footsteps of Hui Shen at the beginning, the old people in the town couldn't help but sigh, and they couldn't imagine that a few people who thought they would never have any news would attract people from their hometown in this way.
