Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Marshal Walter received the reply from the Norman Emperor, it was already the second year, that is, February 1015 AD.  This reply, and the number of Norman officials who came with it, totaled thousands.  It can be regarded as solving General Walter's urgent need.

    The emperor¡¯s reply was not very polite.  Very simple, and very tough.  He did not want Marshal Walter to re-establish a country in the New World.  What Egil wants is not a piece of flesh and blood.  Eventually it will break away from the colony under its control.  What he wanted was the emerging overseas provinces of the empire on the American continent.

    This time, the emperor named all the territories captured by Marshal Walter as the Central American Isthmus Province.  Rules the connection between North and South America between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.  And appointed new provincial governors, as well as a group of talents who can serve as county governors, mayors, other officials and affiliated officials.  These are thousands of people.  Under the guarantee of strong force.  Enough to undertake the administrative tasks of the area captured by Marshal Walter.

    At the same time, the emperor also accused Marshal Walter of his mistakes in the letter.  It is indeed correct to accommodate the Aztecs to a certain extent.  But in the long run.  Such a compromise would actually be detrimental to the empire's rule here.  The Emperor asked Marshal Walter to increase pressure on the Aztecs.  Want them to convert to the Catholic faith faster.  Quickly accept the Norman culture and way of life.  Completely integrated into Norman life.

    And in terms of specific implementation.  The Emperor mentioned Marshal Walter.  When forming the Aztec army, only the performance of the converted Aztecs was used.  Claiming this is a very good means.  inequality.  Tilt the scale.  Let the converted Aztecs reap greater benefits.  Certain restrictions apply to non-Catholics.  Such measures would go a long way.

    Egil mentioned a few specific points in his mind.  For example, restricting non-Christians from becoming officials.  Restrict them from buying and selling property.  Restrict them from commercial activities.  Limit their ability to obtain military honors.  Blah blah blahand more importantly raise their tax rates!  A poll tax was imposed on all non-Christians.  Until they are willing to convert!

    Of course, the emperor also knows.  Such measures may cause a huge backlash.  There might even be a riot - no, not possible.  But it definitely will.  It seemed that the emperor realized this problem when he wrote this in a very emotional state.  Marshal Walter was frightened when he read this letter, and then he read on.  Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

    This policy can only be implemented after the Aztec Empire is completely conquered.

    In addition to these tough measures.  Egil also has other means of cultural invasion.  Along with the fleet across the oceans, there were also a large number of Norman scholars and teachers.  They will open academies in Central America.  Impart knowledge.  At the same time, the language and writing of the Norman Empire were also introduced.  And the history of Europa was taught to the Aztecs.  Especially the little Aztec kids.

    At the same time, Egil also promised to speed up the transportation of immigrants to Central America.  Of course there won't be too many.  After all, the empire also wants to open up the Siberian region, which is more important to the empire.  Places with vast land and sparsely populated areas also need a large number of immigrants.

    The source of imperial immigration.  The biggest one was the slaves who were redeemed through legal reform.  And some cannot afford their own redemption fees.  Therefore, they had to participate in immigration activities in exchange for free serfs.  However, in fact, the empire itself, in Europa, which covers tens of millions of square kilometers, has a population of less than 100 million.  Far from reaching saturation.  Therefore, the manpower needed to colonize Central America could not be completely supplied by European immigrants.

    "Spread your hands. So we talk about the black slave trade, the black slave trade." At that time, after considering this problem, I came up with a solution.  How proud the Norman Emperor was.  Although in the previous world history.  For the slave trade left a sin.  The one on the right is inhumane.  But what does Egil do?  A terrible profession with pus on the head and sores on the soles of the feet - he is the emperor!  All emperors in the world want to do bad things!  The bigger it is, the more successful the emperor is.

    Egil is not ashamed of this idea but proud of it.  And soon began to make calculations: "I transported goods from Europe to Black Africa. I captured slaves and went to the New World of America. Then I brought the products of the New World back to Europe. The profit generated by such a triangular trade is more than 300%? That's it.  Someone also did the beheading business!

    ¡° Such a good deal, as the emperor, I would definitely have a hand in it and get the big share.  At the same time, as a supplement, this trading method also needs to be promoted to businessmen.  To speed up the transportation of black slaves to the New World of America.  Supply the colony with adequate human resources.  "

    Think about it this way.  At that time, Egil contacted Aurora through spiritual connection.  Then told her his plan.  After a conversation where there was mutual mockery, sarcasm, and a lot of substance.  This is enough to cause the world?National policy for changing patterns.  In this way, it was formulated by Emperor Egil.

    That¡¯s it, the manpower is available.  The structure of the New World colonies was also established.  The Emperor asked General Walter to let go.  Conquer the entire Central America as quickly as possible.  The emperor would then establish two or three new provinces there.

    General Walter obeyed very obediently.  He surrendered all the territories he had managed for more than a year to prefects and officials appointed by the Norman emperor.  Then he took the troops under his command, as well as the Aztec army.  Attacked the Aztec Empire in the north.

    at this time.  Almost all the cities in the Aztec north were occupied by the Chichimecs and Apaches.  The remaining Aztecs huddled in Tenochtitlan.  Facing the North American natives who were more than ten times their number, they were helpless.

    Although they destroyed the bridge leading to the shore and planted a large number of wooden stakes in Lake Descoco to prevent the other party's canoes from approaching the city.  It stayed like this for several months.  Leave those North American natives helpless.  But what can I say? A city that cannot be defeated is prone to starvation.  Originally, at the beginning, they could still rely on the stock in the city.  And they secretly transport food in from the villages around the lake at night, following secret passages.

    But soon, the North American natives discovered this secret.  They either threatened or simply massacred.  All the villages around Lake Descoco were swept away.  As a result, Tenochtilan would be unable to receive help from the outside.

    A few more months passed like this, watching Tenochtitlan run out of cities.  The Aztecs began to despair.

    And Marshal Walter¡¯s army.  It was at this time that the attack was launched - Tenochtilan was about to be captured.  The natives of North America were at their happiest and at their most relaxed.

    He first dispatched a small group of troops and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the messy camps of the North American natives.  Then set fire to cause chaos.  When the natives panicked, they launched a fierce attack!  Defeat the combined forces of the Apaches and Chichimecs.

    With the last experience.  This time Marshal Walter used all his strength when he took action!  Be sure to kill the enemy as much as possible as soon as possible.  And a tight encirclement was organized.  Leave the enemy with no way to escape.

    Although such tactics will make it impossible for the enemy to escape.  So he desperately started to fight against the trapped beast.  Let your own army suffer greater losses.  But Marshal Walter didn't care.  Because those placed in the most dangerous places were all Aztec troops.  He wouldn't be too heartbroken if more people died.

    So, finally.  After this battle.  Marshal Walter killed more than 100,000 North American Native American troops.  Our own casualties also exceeded 20,000.  A large number of bodies were thrown into Lake Descoco.  Even a lake was blocked up.  The Normans finally entered Tenochtilan on such corpses!

    After hearing that the North American natives were defeated and receiving a letter from the Aztecs persuading them to surrender.  Cuytlak finally made the decision to surrender - just days after his uncle Moctezuma II had died.  He became the emperor of the Aztec Empire - of course, the empire now only has a dilapidated capital and less than 50,000 soldiers and civilians in the capital who are extremely embarrassed.

    If we don¡¯t surrender, this city will not be able to continue to support itself.

    In this way, the Norman Empire entered the city.  Although some were destroyed.  But the main buildings of Tenochtitlan are still intact.  And the strange Mesoamerican style, the magnificent palaces, temples and pyramids.  It also amazed the Norman soldiers.

    Of course these are not the most important.  The most important thing is gold.  An unimaginable amount of gold that could fill a large warehouse.  The Aztec Empire fought for hundreds of years and mined the treasures they obtained!

    These strange Aztecs are worth gold.  More emphasis on obsidian and feathers.  Although gold was considered a relatively high-value item in the hearts of the Aztecs, they did not treat gold as the most general equivalent like the civilizations of Eurasia.  Instead, obsidian is used, a hard and brittle crystal.  therefore.  Their gold is hoarded but not spent.  Just occasionally making some ornaments and statues.

    "The wealth of an entire country is now all here." When General Walter walked to the city of Tenochtitlan, the warehouse dedicated to storing gold opened its door.  The light of the sun shining on gold.  All the Norman officers couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

    "This is, this is simply" Someone tried to come up with a word to describe this scene.  However, it was as if his brain had short-circuited.  I just stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence!  ~!
