"You said you have Inca royal blood?" Zhao Han looked at the person in front of him with interest.

Is there anything Indian about Carlos?

His mother is a native white man, his father is of mixed Indo-European descent, his grandfather is of mixed Indo-European descent, and his grandmother is a native white man. He looks like a European from top to bottom.

Carlos said: "Respect the great Chinese Emperor. I am indeed a descendant of the Inca royal family. The Inca and China both have a long civilization. The two countries were brothers 10,000 years ago."

Zhao Han felt even more amused: "Who told you?"

Carlos replied: "I have a good friend named Cheng Jingming. He told me a lot about the history of China. When I came to China, I became more and more convinced of this. The ancestors of the Incas did come from China."

Carlos has been with Cheng Jingming for more than a year. He even learned Chinese and recognized hundreds of Chinese characters.

He first arrived in Hawaii on a ship and then went to Manila.

Manila is nothing; there are cities of the same size in America. Then he came to Fuzhou and was immediately stunned by the prosperity. Stopping at multiple ports along the way completely strengthened Carlos's belief that the Incas and China definitely came from the same source, and they must come from the same source.

"Do all the Incas look the same as you?" Zhao Han asked deliberately.

Carlos suddenly felt embarrassed: "The Inca and the Chinese look the same, and my bloodline is a little impure, which is all caused by the damn Spaniards. No matter what, I am half Inca, and my soul belongs to the Inca. I My friend Cheng Jingming said that as long as your heart is devoted to the Inca, you must be an Inca. He also said that there are also Portuguese descendants in China. If they learn Chinese and take a Chinese name, they are all Chinese."

Zhao Han asked again: "What are your plans?"

Carlos said: "China is rich and powerful, and has defeated Spain. Please consider your brotherhood and send troops to attack Peru to help the Incas recover. If I become the king of the Incas, my descendants will always be loyal to China." emperor."

Zhao Han shook his head and said: "Peru is too far away, and a cross-sea expedition requires too much military expenditure. Moreover, even if the Chinese army reaches Peru, will the Incas really welcome it warmly? I'm afraid they will help Spain fight the war."

"No, the Incas and the Chinese are brothers." Carlos said.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "You think so, but other Incas don't think so. They have never had contact with the Chinese, and instead submitted to Spanish rule."

Carlos was silent, speechless.

Zhao Han induced: "You should let more Inca people know that there is China on the other side of the distant ocean. The Chinese people look exactly like them, and the Chinese people have a common ancestor with them."

Carlos nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, more compatriots should know about it. I should learn from my grandfather, write a book, and then spread the ideas in Inca."

"The scholars at the Hanlin Academy can help. If you have any questions, just ask them." Zhao Han smiled even more happily.

Carlos took the reward and left, living in the Temple of All Goods.

In addition to hanging out every day, I went to the Hanlin Academy to chat and discuss the similarities between China and the Inca.

In fact, the Inca civilization did not develop writing, and it was the only civilization of the same level that did not have writing. This guy brags that he has writing, but he is actually trying to flatter himself.

Since there are no words, history can only start from myths.

After some exchanges, it was very regrettable that there was no similarity between Chinese mythology and Inca mythology, and the Imperial Academy officials could not even compile it.

Creation myths in various parts of the world are mostly fabricated by humans from clay.

However, the Inca mythology is different. Human beings are carved stone statues by gods. The image of this creation god usually looks like a fish-man, which is not even close to Pangu and Nuwa.

Carlos had no choice but to make up his own, which consumed countless brain cells every day.

The first is to forcibly touch the mythical worldview——

The "Hanan Pacha" higher world of the Incas was adapted into the heavenly realm of Chinese mythology. The middle world of "Kay Pacha" is adapted from China's human world. The underworld of "Uku Pacha" is adapted from the Chinese underworld.

Apu (mountain god) is very useful, there are many mountain gods in both countries.

The sun god is also easy to touch, Dongjun, Sun Lord, Golden Crow, etc., just choose any one to rely on the Inca sun god.

But the moon god is difficult to deal with. The Chinese Lunar Star Lord is a woman, and the Inca moon god is a slovenly man. Moreover, he has low moral quality and turns his own life essence into fruit, tricking other goddesses into eating it and giving birth to children.

The fusion of myths was only the beginning, but Carlos couldn't make it up anymore, so he started with customs and habits.

This is easier to compile. China has a vast territory and customs vary from place to place. There are always some that are similar to Inca customs.

Carlos talked about his customs, and the Hanlin Academy officials gave the answer, which can match everything perfectly. If it doesn't work, just make it up. Anyway, it can be said that customs have changed, and the final interpretation power lies in the hands of the compiler.

As he was editing, Carlos remembered something again and asked the officials of Honglu Temple to invite a matchmaker.

He has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and daughter are all married and stayed in America without bringing them over. The younger son was only over ten years old, and he brought him here before he was married. He planned to find a Chinese wife for his son, and the offspring he would give birth to would be able to wash away his European characteristics.

This guy has even thought about it. When he becomes king, he will directly pass the throne to his grandson.

The matchmaker glanced at the mixed-race boy and immediately expressed that it would be difficult. She thought Carlos was an envoy and complained: "Mr. envoy, although your son is good-looking and a handsome young man, we are in the capital city. The girls in the capital city are far-sighted, and they are the daughters of the dung collectors." , Marrying a rich country man is considered a low marriage..."

Before the matchmaker could finish, Carlos said: "I have two dollars here. If the matter can be done, I will give you another ten dollars."

"There are still ten taels of silver?" The matchmaker was overjoyed as she took the silver dollar.

In the American colonies, no matter what you wanted to do, as long as you were dealing with the government, you could pay bribes. Carlos used this trick very skillfully.

The matchmaker immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Messenger has met Your Majesty before, and he is considered to be a respectable person. I will look for the old woman first. Don't be anxious, Master Messenger. You can't rush this matter. You have to meet the right one to be destined."

Carlos knew what it meant. The matchmaker wanted to hold it off and take the opportunity to make more money, as American colonial officials often did.

He took out another silver dollar, put it into the matchmaker's hand, and said, "If it can be done within a month, I will give you another 15 yuan."

"I guarantee it will be done," the matchmaker said happily, but added, "One month is too short, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good girl. What kind of daughter-in-law does the messenger want? Do you have any requirements for family background?"

This matchmaker is just treating the foreigners as fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Carlos said: "If things are done well, I will give you 20 yuan. First, she must not be too old, under 25 years old; second, she must not be too ugly; third, no matter what her family does, You can even be a widow, but you have to be able to bear children.”

"Put it on me!" The matchmaker slapped her chest. She had met a big fat sheep. These barbarians were so rich and easy to cheat.

The marriage contract was finalized in less than a month and half a month, and the matchmaker actually found a young widow from a poor family.

The widow also asked for a dowry of forty taels before marrying. Twenty taels should be given to the husband's family and twenty taels to the natal family, otherwise neither the husband's family nor the natal family would agree.

After settling his son's marriage, Carlos continued to make up stories.

And he started to make it up completely, breaking the Chinese mythology into pieces and forcibly connecting it with the Inca mythology.

The real work came next. His grandfather already had a theory that Incas, Indo-Europeans, and native whites were all brothers. He added a Chinese. China is the homeland of the Inca ancestors. All people born in China and the Incas are brothers as close as one family.

This is called expanding the united front, bringing everyone in except the colonists to join in the rebellion!

Most of those Indo-European and native white people are in a state of oppression. Carlos's book can be easily disseminated among the lower classes, but it requires the help of the middle class.

Because the people at the bottom are illiterate!

Small colonial officials, middle and low-level businessmen, and even big businessmen were the only targets of communication. They have some property and are literate, but their current situation does not match their status at all.

Two businessmen with the same assets, one is a white man born in America and the other is a white man from Europe. Their social status is very different. Even the tax rates are different. What would you think as a native white person?

After writing and writing, Carlos deleted all the myths and customs.

Because he wants to make things bigger and bring brothers from Mexico and Central America together. Only when everyone rebels together can the colonial army be exhausted.

Therefore, it is impossible to elaborate on myths and customs, because myths and customs are very different in various parts of the Americas.

We must emphasize race, culture and land!

The human race is the ancestor of the Americans. They all come from China, so they are all brothers from Mexico to South America.

The culture is the culture of the American colonies. Under Spanish rule, cultures everywhere are becoming the same.

The land is the land of America, but everyone born in America is our own people regardless of their skin color.

Moreover, the rebellion cannot be mentioned directly in the book, otherwise it will not spread smoothly in America.

Carlos thought carefully and decided to title the book "Travel Notes on China" and rewrote the opening part for the third time. It must be written in an interesting way and cannot be a dry introduction to some mythology.

He first introduces himself in the book and introduces his grandfather.

Then he wrote about how he met Cheng Jingming, and said that Cheng Jingming explored the Mayan temple. The patterns in the temple were exactly the same as the Chinese Taotie pattern, and the Chinese and Native Americans also looked the same. This aroused his curiosity, so he made friends with Cheng Jingming and decided to travel to China together.

Let me introduce Manila first. By the way, China once defeated Spain and Luzon was taken away from Spain by China. This is to alleviate readers' fear of Spain and show that Spain will also suffer defeat, while China's military strength is extremely powerful.

Then he described big cities such as Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, and Nanjing in detail to show China's prosperity and the Chinese people's freedom and happiness.

By the way, a custom was intercepted (made up) from each city and matched with the customs of various ethnic groups in America to bring the relationship between Americans and Chinese closer.

It also elaborates on China’s concept of the Chinese nation and includes America in the Chinese category. Including native whites and Indo-Europeans, since they were born in the Americas of the Chinese civilization circle, they belong to the Chinese people regardless of their skin color.

About how happy the lower class people in China live, and how Chinese businessmen are not exploited by officials, these contents are written in extremely detailed and even close to flattery, arousing the yearning of American readers and making them have stronger resistance to the Spanish colonists.

It only took this guy three months to write "Travel Notes on China" and even asked officials from Honglu Temple to translate it into Chinese.

Zhao Han was shocked after reading this. This man is a born rebel propagandist!
