The Aztec Empire eventually fell. Natural disasters, internal and external troubles. This situation cannot get any worse. If the country is not destroyed, there is no natural reason.
And after the demise of the Aztec Empire. General Walter launched a series of wars against the Chichimecs and Apaches in the north. And it was a victory. His purpose was not to conquer those places. In fact, it has now annexed the entire Aztec Empire, such a huge territory. The Normans were a little overwhelmed. If more territory is occupied. Not only will that not benefit you. On the contrary, you will be burdened. It is not conducive to the empire's occupation of the New World in America.
So Marshal Walter ended up having a big alliance meeting with the Chichimecs and Apaches¡ªhundreds of tribes in all. Eventually the Norman Empire was established, with nominal ruling power over these tribes. These tribes would serve as vassals of the empire. Pledge of allegiance to the Norman Emperor.
Of course, their connection with the Norman Empire only goes so far. They paid neither taxes to the emperor. No troops were provided either. Except for one name, the rest is no different from the time of **.
In this way, the empire¡¯s conquest of Central America came to an end. To the south of the empire are the vast South American rainforests, while to the north are the vast North American plains. Although the Norman emperor coveted these uncultivated lands. But at least for now, he doesn't have the ability to reclaim the land.
"However, the Norman Emperor still declared his rights in the New World of America. Egil made the announcement. Claimed that the entire New World of America was his private property. It belongs to the Norman royal family. Of course, from this era, except for the Norman Empire. It is true that no one has the ability to send enough manpower and material resources to develop and conquer the New World. Therefore, the emperor's announcement cannot be wrong in a sense.
Egil took over the territory he had acquired. Officially divided into three provinces. He divided the original Aztec province into two. The northern province of Mexico, with Tenochtitlan, renamed Mexico City, as its capital. The south is the province of Central America. Its capital is the city of Yucatan, which is located on the Yucatan Peninsula. Among all the islands in the Caribbean, there is a third province, named the Province of the Islands, with Havana as its capital.
After this, the emperor sent a large number of officials and supplies to the New World. Marshal Walter's troops were split into three legions of four to five thousand men. They were stationed in these three provinces. Then he ordered General Walter to return.
After nearly two years of war. Marshal Walter, who completely conquered this land, was filled with emotions. He left many memories in this land. And made many friends. He had even thought that it would not be bad to live on this continent for the rest of his life. However, because his prestige here is too great. The emperor was assured of his loyalty. But we must also be careful that if he is not careful, he will be wearing a yellow robe. So he was sent back to the country. It would be good for Marshal Walter or Emperor Egil.
When Marshal Walter returned home, he passed by Havana and disembarked there. Because this was the first place he landed after arriving in the New World. So the marshal wanted to stay here for a few more days. Make a few more memories. Just in these few days. He saw large ships sailing from Africa.
The ship was filled with black slaves who were squeezed into the cabin like sardines. These were the first victims of the Norman Emperor's "Edict to Capture Black Slaves." Poor fools who were exchanged by Europeans for cheap iron tools and other gadgets from their hometown in Africa.
He also saw a large number of Norman refugees coming from Europe, dressed in ragged clothes but full of hope. These people are almost penniless. Except for a layer of tattered clothes. There is no other property. They were promised by the emperor land, cattle, seeds and houses here. So I traveled thousands of miles to come here.
Of course, some of them are daydreaming. Adventurers and speculators seeking fortune opportunities in the New World. Don't know among them. How many will succeed, and how many will lose their lives in the vast jungles of America
In addition to the slave ships and passenger ships that transported manpower, there were also many official Norman ships that transported daily necessities. and merchant ships transporting general cargo. There are endless business opportunities in this new land. It attracts all powerful maritime merchants to come here to develop business. With the success of the conquests in Central America. and the success of taking all of Europa into its pocket. Egil relaxed restrictions on voyage business. Another wave of ocean trade started in Europe. The new age of navigation has finally begun.
In all of this, there are good things and bad things. There is good and there is evil. But they are all full of vitality. Vibrant and upward spirit. Just like a new empire. Take big strides forward.
April 3, 1015 AD??The whole of Central America was brought under the control of the Norman Empire. A new history began to be written, and Marshal Walter, the man who wrote the prologue to this epic, sadly passed away. left with him. There is also a large amount of gold and silver jewelry that the Imperial Army collected in the Aztec Empire. Dozens of large ships were filled with hundreds of tons of gold. Mountains of silver, precious stones Such wealth even exceeds the profits obtained from the looting of Constantinople.
"The Lord will be very happy after reading this." Because he was in poor spirits, Marshal Walter secretly cheered himself up. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile. Although the emperor was a little harsher on him. But the marshal remained loyal to the emperor. Nothing has changed.
Thus, the Empire¡¯s conquest of the New World of America came to an end for the time being. The Normans would spend a long time consolidating their colonial rule in Central America. At the same timewhen Marshal Walter was fighting in Central America. In Egypt, another marshal of the Norman Empire also launched a counterattack.
Because of Marshal Farr¡¯s strategy in Spain. Sultan Arslan had to return with his army. The three-pronged army that was besieging the Lower Egypt area on three sides suddenly lost one leg. This relieved Norman Marshal Erth, who had been beaten for more than half a year.
Immediately afterwards, the marshal began to re-conquer the Egyptian region. The marshal had nearly 30,000 troops under his command, except for more than 5,000 who were guarding the Suez Canal and defending Hulagu in the north. The remaining 25,000 troops were all gathered together to sweep the Egyptian area.
Those rebellious Egyptian Muslims, those desert bandits who took advantage of the situation, and the African natives from Ethiopia none of them were missing, and they were all eliminated and killed by Marshal Ers as quickly as possible. This ugly-looking Norman warrior desperately tortured and killed his prisoners. To create panic and vent their dissatisfaction when they were previously besieged.
The Norman army quickly restored order throughout Lower Egypt. And along the Nile River, the war burned to Upper Egypt. The king of Ethiopia panicked. Together with the fleeing Egyptians, he organized an army of more than 50,000 people to defend Thebes, the most important city in Lower Egypt.
They knocked down all the houses outside the city, burned the fields, and sealed the wells. A scorched earth strategy against the Norman armies - these despicable people. Although they were twice as numerous as the Norman army, they did not dare to fight head-on. Because their people lack sophisticated equipment and organizational training. Almost completely without redeeming qualities. When facing the elite of the Normans, they would definitely collapse in an instant.
However, what Marshal Erth is least afraid of is siege warfare. Houses were knocked down no problem. He brought enough tents for the march. Water can be obtained from the Nile River, and food and supplies can also be transported from the lower reaches of the Nile River through fleets. The opponent's strong wall and clearing the field tactics did not have much effect at all.
Immediately afterwards, the siege tactics were followed according to the standard Normans. General Erth quickly produced a large number of siege machinery. Use artillery shooting, slingshot, and crossbow shooting. The shooting of the building truck was followed by the attack of the Norman army carrying the ladder truck.
Such a series of blows panicked the black indigenous people in Ethiopia and the Muslim rebels in Egypt. These rabble were running around crying. Completely lost the ability to resist. They were immediately massacred by the Norman army that rushed up the city wall.
It¡¯s just an attack. Marshal Ers then completely occupied Thebes. And in the ensuing pursuit battle, all the rabble were killed.
In a rage, Marshal Ers took the opportunity to invade Ethiopia. His army relied on the coast of the Red Sea and the banks of the Nile to march. to obtain supplies via waterways.
The marshal knew that the empire was not yet capable of ruling such a distant territory. And his most important enemy in this direction was Hulagu, who was named Ilhan by his brother Kublai Khan. So the speed of this expedition was very fast. General Erth did his best to increase the speed of his attacks and marches. Leave no grass behind wherever you go. Try your best to reduce the opponent's effectiveness. to gain strategic advantage.
In this way, the Norman army marched, burned and killed all the way. Burning the prosperous and fertile Nile and Red Sea coasts to a white ground. A severe blow to the vitality of the Kingdom of Ethiopia. Then they stopped in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The whole army quickly rushed back to Lower Egypt in warships.
After such a series of battles. The nominal province of Egypt finally became a reality. The Norman Empire was finally able to exercise administrative power throughout Egypt - although this administrative power was greatly reduced due to the crazy killings of Marshal Erth - because those officials would find that there was not much population to support them in their jurisdiction. They manage! ~!
