Chapter 277 Alliance

Hulan found that there was a difference in cognition between himself and Taomi.

Before the march began, he thought that the young men from their Hulun tribe married the girls from the Taomi tribe, but after the march began, he gradually realized that it was the girls from the Taomi tribe who married the young men.

Although everyone has Mongolian ancestry, there are fundamental differences in lifestyles. Taomi and other tribe members of the Iroquoi Alliance are maternal tribes... Only Hulan is a patriarchal tribe.

Others' sons have no inheritance rights and will eventually become "foreign people". If the worldview of other matriarchal tribes is applied, the "Hulan tribe" he is proud of actually does not exist.

His young men, regardless of whether they were the Han flag army or the Mongolian Jurchen warriors, would eventually marry and have children on this land, and then the Huluan tribe would disappear.

For example, during the marching of the Huluan tribe, the Taomi tribe had Ding 35, there was only one war leader in the two tribes, namely Huluan.

Hulan is a Qianhu. It is normal for him to be the war chief of the Hulan tribe, but in the eyes of the Taomi tribe, Hulan is their son-in-law, and it is normal to be the chief of the Taomi tribe.

However, after discussing this issue with Hulun and his subordinates, it was found that it was a huge advantage for them that others were maternal tribes, because during the marriage, men would lose the inheritance rights of the original tribe, but they had the inheritance rights of the other tribe.

In terms of men's quality, their Chinese men have an unmatched advantage that the indigenous people have. The Han flag army and Mongolian riders have undergone rigorous training. The Jurchen warriors have also grown up in the mountains and forests since childhood. Their physiques are not only not inferior to the indigenous people, but also stronger.

And they are generally cleaner, and their learning on Kuwu Island also allows them to master more knowledge, be good at using and equipping a large number of firearms, strong bows, armor, and horses, allowing them to have superb combat power than the indigenous people.

These "married" warriors looked very promising to inherit other people's tribes.

In this way, Hulan happily accepted the fate of Hulan's tribe that was about to disappear, and formulated a long-term plan proposed by him as the military chief after leaving Jincheng, that is, to exude male charm in the subsequent marches and battles, and marry more tribes as much as possible.

In general, Hulan is used to living with the indigenous peoples on this land, except for the name.

During the march through the long grasslands and the lush jungle surrounded by the lake, Hulan knew better about the Taomi tribe and also met more tribal soldiers convened by the Iroquoi Alliance.

After being joined by Hulun, the Taomi tribe, the original population tribe became a large tribe with the ability to mobilize thousands of soldiers, which won them prestige.

Indigenous tribes are administratively divided by land. Above the tribes are alliances based on power, and below are clans with blood ties as bonds. Each tribe has one or more clans. Each clan is named after animals, wolves, bears, turtles, beavers, deer, herons, eagles, etc., are all animals they have seen. The clan names are often the surnames of the tribes.

Each clan has several sets of names, and the indigenous people can tell who is who from the same name, but Hulan cannot.

His father-in-law was called Zhili, and his brother-in-law was also called this. In order to distinguish it, the Hulan tribe unified the father-in-law of Hulan as the "wisdom big croaker" and the brother-in-law was called "wisdom little croaker".

There is no way, the clan's name naturally brings clan power to people, so everyone refuses to change their names.

The indigenous people had their own marching methods. The tribes who were traveling with each other met on the road just said hello and then chose another route. No tribe would march together like the Huluan tribe. They were all divided into small troops, walking different roads to get food to deal with the long journey.

Everything in the Iroquois League was seen by Hulan. When winter went and spring came, their marching routes had long been stipulated by the riders of the Iroquois League. The tribes passing by would prepare essential food and supplies for them, making Hulan feel like they were passing through counties in the Ming Dynasty, but the scale was much smaller.

The troops they gathered made Hulan secretly amazed. It was just what he learned on the way that he sent hundreds or even hundreds of people to participate in the upcoming war for all clans under the five major tribes.

In fact, the war has begun.

Hulan and Zhili led their troops closer to their destination, and the more they could see many clan villages belonging to the alliance. They lived in wooden long houses. There were generally forty or fifty long houses in a village. There were wooden stakes and fences and fields on the outside of the village. The Iroquois wearing leather blankets worked in the fields, performing fishing, hunting or burning pottery baskets.

More tribal warriors with noses and bodies decorated with animal bones gathered together from seven to ten people. Most of the time they sharpened their weapons and prepared for battle, and sometimes they used wooden rackets to set up a net on the large open space to play ball.

People were not surprised by the Hulan army, especially after learning that they were foreign clans accepted by the Taomi tribe, which was not well-populated, often tribes did this. Sometimes foreigners were prisoners of war, and sometimes tribes migrated from other places. This was nothing special in the eyes of the indigenous people who were used to the rise and fall of the tribe.

Especially they look almost the same.

They had also seen horses, and they had seen many horses from the French, and they also seized some ferocious pack beasts in the battle, but they were extremely novel about the armor and muskets from the Ming Dynasty.

As for the so-called Huluan tribe that had no women, it seemed very strange that there was no stranger to the Iroquois.

After asking the Hulan tribe's whereabouts came from, the tribe warriors, wearing animal leather pants, shirtless and blankets, expressed sympathy for them without women. With the action of nodding, the eagle feathers on their heads trembled and said to their accomplices: "Look, women fell from the sky, not every tribe can pick them up."

In their myths and legends, the earliest women fell from the sky.

In fact, there is no Iroquois in this world who calls themselves Iroquois. Their alliance name literally means "Longhouse Alliance", which means that tribes live in the long house like a clan and fall in love with each other. The official name is the Alliance of Peace and Power.

Iroquois is a title given to them by outsiders and is widely used in hostile or unfranchise tribes.

In the long house where the chief and the chief were discussing affairs, Hulan saw the full picture of the conflict that had been invaded for months for the first time.

Their main opponent was not the aliens from Europe. Just as the aliens from the Ming Dynasty were just dozens of insignificant chiefs in the Iroquoi League, they were all so insignificant.
