Chapter two hundred and eighty absorption

When Chen Mu was worried about sending people to support Hulan, Hulan himself was also worried.

He underestimated the attractiveness of Chinese men to members of the Iroquois League.

Since the longhouse discussion, the alliance quickly formulated a strategic purpose and implementation situation for unanimous votes. The newly joined Hulun Division or Taomi Division's main combat troops will be used as mobile forces to attack Ottawa's towns west of Lake Ontario.

After the alliance leaders recognized their abilities, they followed the large forces to attack northward and then blocked the Hurons' approach to the river with the opportunity to blockade the Hurons from approaching the river along the northwest bank of the river, and accompanied the tribes in the southeast direction of the river to attack outsiders entrenched on Montreal, the island in the river.

After the meeting, the Taomi tribe quickly became the star of the alliance. The tribes rushed to inquire about the situation of the Hulan tribe. After hearing that they only had men, and the men who spoke in the meeting hall were called Baihu, with one hundred soldiers under their jurisdiction. After ten men like this, the more exciting marriage operation began.

The hundreds of households who proposed that "Guan Yun and the Seven Army flooded the waters" happened to be surnamed Guan. They looked righteous and had a very positive name, and were called Guan Zheng.

After obtaining the permission from Hulun on the same day, Mohawk, known as the Flint clan, joined the Mohawk, and three other hundred households, respectively, joined the Oneida tribe of the "Leishi clan", Onondaga tribe of the "Crossom clan" and the Cayuga tribe of the "Swallow clan".

Of course, in Hulun’s view, it can only be considered an engagement at this stage.

His tribe was about to be divided completely, and even if it was what he was expecting in his heart, it was inevitable that he would feel unbalanced. Therefore, he wanted to find a little faint sense of existence for the "Hulan Tribe" that once appeared on this land - a grand wedding.

There is no more complicated marriage in the matter of wedding than in the Central Plains, so he and the leaders of various tribes decided that when the war ended, these young men would hold a grand wedding with the bride, and one of them would be held a day in the first half of the year!

In fact, this is exactly the same as the original intention of the tribe leaders. Let’s first look at their "newcomer" skills in the war.

For the Iroquois woman, bravery is the most precious quality of a man, and the way to test this quality is war.

The slow and winding march made every soldier in Hulan's tribe feel irritated.

They have been marching for a whole year and have hardly done anything serious. They just keep walking east from the west, crossing mountains, stepping across grasslands, crossing rivers and lakes, resting by the lake for two months to escape the winter, and then continuing to march - now, these natives actually ask them to walk back?

Yes, they began to follow one thousand and two hundred carefully selected Iroquois warriors, and the Ottawas were in their northwest, and they were going to attack from the west over Lake Ontario and then to the north.

Because the indigenous people lacked the pack beasts to transport baggage and had more experienced marching methods, it took a lot of time to marches far away from their own towns and villages, which made their marching speed very slower than Hulun expected, which made him understand why the battle had just begun for nine months.

After more than 300 miles of march, their vanguard encountered a Huron foraging team in the field. Next to a village with more than 30 long houses, Hulan could even see potatoes in the fields with a telescope.

When the two sides met, they lined up with bows and arrows, blowing arrows, and throwing spears to shoot each other in batches. The lack of effective protection means caused both sides to suffer heavy casualties.

But they had the courage to be tougher than other troops. No one was willing to disperse the army and retreat with similar forces until another team belonging to the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquoi Alliance appeared on the flank of the battlefield, which caused the Hurons to collapse and flee.

Iroquo and Huron spoke the same language and had the same culture. Even the clans that formed the alliance were the same. The Iroquoi Alliance had five clans, and the Hurons also had five clans.

Even both sides used the ‘silent war’, that is, adopting prisoners of war in the war to replace the dead, they believed that human souls would not dissipate but would just wander around the world, and could be reborn in another person after a series of means.

For example, in this small-scale battle, a warrior named "Red Stone" in the Flint clan of the Iroquoi Alliance died. They captured a warrior named "White Bear" in the Huron Bear clan. Red Stone's relatives would adopt White Bear and change his name to Red Stone, and then White Bear became Red Stone.

But it is not that simple in the practice process. There is a set of procedures that affect the mood of the soldiers, combat losses, traditional beliefs, including punishment and execution.

Hulun did not participate in this battle. He believed that the level of the enemy was not worthy of his soldiers to urge the horse to bear the risk of the horse being scratched by arrows.

The most brave warriors of the Hurons were abused to suck their fighting spirit after becoming prisoners of war. However, these brave men were respected. Before halfway through the execution, several kind-hearted people from the Alliance tribes scolded others and announced that they had adopted these warriors.

But some people who performed so well in battles and who performed too bravely during executions, those warriors who remained silent were eaten by the Iroquois, and the atmosphere was like the New Year.

"what are they doing?"

Hulan gasped heavily, raised his hand to point at the Hulun Village in the distance and said, "Their village is here. They stopped moving forward, abused prisoners of war for fun, and even ate them?"

This is a group of monsters!

"They don't attack the village." Although Dalizi was not an Iroquois, he was not surprised by this behavior, saying: "With a village, it will attract new enemies to settle down, and then it will absorb more prisoners of war. They now... are also to absorb them."

But after the battle, he realized that these indigenous people were different from them, and they were different from the Mongolians, Jurchens, and Han people.

They eat people, Iroquois, Huron, and all eat people.

The essence of silence war is to weaken the enemy and strengthen oneself.

Their culture believes that by replenishing the shape with shape, if you want the speed of the deer, you have to eat the deer, if you want the strength of the bear, you have to eat the bear, if you want the courage of the brave, you have to eat people.

Dalizi smoked his pipe and said, "If we lose, we may be eaten by the enemy, especially a brave warrior like you."

Their approach to prisoners is different from every race known to Hulan. They are neither like Han people nor nomadic people who speak. They respect, worship the brave and despise the weak. If the enemy is defeated, it means that the enemy is incompetent and must fight to the death. If the enemy is not defeated, they will be respected, and they may gain the "most glorious way of death" in their eyes, and may also live as new Iroquois.

"Don't look at me like this. The Iroquois are not savage. You also see that they are in the alliance, and there are almost no one fighting. Iroquois' long houses are in love, not including those outside the long houses, but people believe in the myths that they believe in are responsible for carrying the important task of maintaining peace. Their ancestors planted the tree of peace and brought peace to every place."

Hulan pointed to the soldiers gathered in the distance and asked, "Just bring this?"

"In addition to blood relatives, the Iroquois will declare war on every tribe around them. First, they will welcome the tribes around to join their longhouse and become the sixth and seventh tribe. Now we are the sixth tribe, and the alliance will welcome more people."

"If you refuse to join, the alliance will give the rejected tribes a contract, and both parties will guarantee peace; if you are rejected again, Iroquo will launch a war of silence and absorb them by adoption or eating."

Hulan really couldn't listen to his father-in-law's fallacies. He was afraid that if he continued to listen, he felt that the Iroquois approach was correct, so he simply raised his hand and said, "Hulan's troops obeyed the order, drove everyone in the village, and burned the village!"
