Chapter 293 Black Snake
Haifasha wore the Jiajing Tong armor that Li Yuxi gave him, and stood on the top of the mountain with a Ming-made battle sword, overlooking the Hexin Island in the middle of the Sancha River estuary in the distance.
The river bank is full of tall and straight pine forests, and a newly built and simple port is exposed in the forest. Several large ships used to transport beaver skins are parked at the pier.
When the island rider was riding his horse with blue flags, he raised the dust on the road trampled out of the pine forest, and pointed to the distant triangle-shaped wooden village camp.
On the mountain where the camp is supported further away, the red maple forest contrasts with the blue sky, revealing the distant peaks in the north that have not melted snow all year round.
Haifasha said: "They are afraid."
Standing beside him was Li Yuxi, a Quan Shang returning from the south.
Although Li Yuxi had tried his best to learn the language of the Iroquois, his mind was obviously not as good as when he was young, and he still couldn't understand many words. Fortunately, he sent riders from Hulun's troops to the Central Army and soldiers of the Taomi Army, which could help him communicate with the Longhouse Alliance to the greatest extent.
Li Yuxi agrees with Haifasha's words and asks the Japanese. Are you afraid to see Yongle Tongbao's horse seal on the battlefield?
No one was afraid of seeing the enemy commander wearing copper coins.
If so, change to silver ingots.
Li Yuxi said: "The number of enemies seems to have increased more than before I left."
"The Ottawas, they reinforced from the west, and the Taomi team blocked the Hurons there. If it were only the Ottawas, we could defeat them."
Haifasha said, turning his head and said to Li Yuxi very sincerely: "You are a sincere friend and have solved the tribal problems for me, otherwise we will not be able to siege the enemy here. If you want anything, just speak."
Li Yuxi listened to the flag army's translation intently, then smiled and bowed, saying, "The leader Yan Chong was not convinced by Li, but called the general's rider to arrive in time, so that the Black Commander could stop the troops, but there were conditions."
Haifasha nodded slowly. He knew what Li Yuxi said about the conditions that gave up Lake Yili within a radius of 600 miles, and negotiated peace with the Cherokee people.
The most important thing is that after this war, the Longhouse Alliance no longer exists. There is only a brotherly alliance, a standard "Black Cloud Dragon Alliance". The leaders of each tribe are united as righteous brothers, and they respect the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the main force. They obey the orders of the Eastern Military Palace to build roads and trade, and communicate with each other.
In exchange, the Black Cloud Dragon Association held its troops until after the war, the leaders of Haifasha and the five tribes went to Blue Mist Mountain to join the alliance to become sworn brothers, and allowed the six tribes of Iroquo to jointly allocate the territory of the Huron and Ottawas.
"I know the conditions, but I still have to thank you for these things you did for us. If you had not let me know more, I would have started a war with the Black Snake; but now I decided to continue this war."
The black snake he mentioned was the nickname given to the Black Cloud Dragon after Li Yuxi asked him to understand the meaning of the three words "Black Cloud Dragon". The full name is the same as Indian names such as long-legged bears and bubonic apes, flying black snakes.
Black Cloud Dragon gave him two choices, turned around and started a war with Black Cloud Dragon, or after the battle, he joined Black Cloud Dragon with the trophy.
As long as your mind is not broken, you will choose the second one.
Because starting a war with the Black Cloud Dragon means they have to face three enemies at the same time, the Black Cloud Dragon in the south, the Ottawas and the Huron Alliance in the north, and their own sixth tribe, Taomi.
At first he didn't quite understand why the Black Snake from the south asked Hulan to leave the alliance, but with Li Yuxi's introduction, he understood that Hulan was a small official in the Ming Dynasty further away, and the Black Snake's official position was greater than that of him.
At this point, Hulun's actions were very failed. Although he joined the Longhouse Alliance, others did not understand what he was, where he came from, and what he could do, so they regarded him as a chief in the Taomi tribe.
It was not as good as the businessman Li Yuxi, at least he simply let Haifasha understand what the Ming Dynasty was, what the Eastern Military Mansion meant, and even knew more about what changes were happening in the world that he could not have known before.
Haifasha didn't even know that there were Aztecs in the south, and there was no way to know that Spain destroyed Aztecs, and there was no way to know that the Ming army defeated the Spanish again.
But through Li Yuxi, he knew that in this land, in addition to the longhouse, Hulun, Yili and other tribes, there are also Journey to the West, Water Margin, and White Horse, which are not weaker than the longhouse alliance.
They all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and received excellent care.
Haifasha has sent people to the Gulf of Mexico with Li Yuxi's adopted son, where these Iroquois will follow Li Yuxi's adopted son to Brazil, Mexico, and then to Changsheng, Jincheng, Majiagang to see the living conditions of the indigenous peoples in various places.
"One of them is the 'general officer' and the other is the 'thousand households'. Why do you call them 'general'?"
Haifasha asked this in words with Chinese nouns, and he was extremely curious about everything about the Ming Dynasty: "General Hu was very powerful. He defeated 4,000 Hurons on the other side of the river with 1,500 people."
Li Yuxi explained the issue of official positions and titles, and then said: "General Black is also very powerful. When they come over, they can blow up the camp of Fayi."
The reason why they threatened Montreal far away from the river was that they were waiting for the Black Cloud Dragon's artillery team, the Black Cloud Dragon, had only cavalry, and no artillery team. The artillery was not his, but was unloaded from the ship after attacking the French crew on the road, and the artillery was also dismounted by the cavalry.
Although they are cavalrymen, they are all very professional in the Francophone placing.
Earlier, Haifasha tried to let his tribe warriors set up in canoes to attack Shanghexin Island, but the Muzhai garrison and the French were already prepared to be defeated.
There were not many French people in Montreal, nor many black slaves, but they had more than forty muskets and several Franco cannons. Such force was not worth mentioning to other countries, but it was a catastrophe for the Iroquois.
Under the throne of the camp, even if there were only 200 people, they could repel the attack of thousands, not to mention that they had received support from the Ottawas.
The Ottawas are much more decent than the five tribes of the Longhouse Alliance. Although the French do not sell muskets and cannons to the indigenous people, they are never stingy as long as they can be exchanged for beaver skins. Therefore, their tribe has an infantry armed with hundreds of people with European armor.
Haifasha and Li Yuxi both knew that this battle would be solely relied on the Longhouse Alliance, and even if they could win, they would suffer heavy casualties.
As the sunset set, Haifasha and Li Yuxi, who were sitting on the top of the mountain to observe the deployment of the camp, heard the noisy voices of tribal warriors on the mountainside.
On the grassland along the river bank in the south, a huge team of striders holding torches divided their troops into several directions, winding like a dancing fire dragon. From a distance, they saw the vanguard of the army holding a large yellow flag high and flew in the wind.
