The Aztecs had a sophisticated system of messengers known as "telpochcalli." These messengers would run long distances and use a network of relay points to communicate important messages. They carried information through spoken word, visual signals such as banners or jewelry, and encoded information using quipu, a system of knotted strings.
The Aztecs had made many enemies because they would send out raiding parties to take prisoners for sacrifices. These rival tribes of the Aztecs would later help the Spanish conquistadors take out the Aztecs.
The people that the Aztecs conquered were forced to pay tribute, meaning that they had to send the Aztecs items valuable or useful items. They also had to send people to serve as soldiers.
Before written messages, a messenger could go on another persons behalf. That still does happen in modern times for important or highly confidential messages.
