Chapter 294 Prophecy
Many times people summon or communicate with people, at least in this world, when people's words or consciousness are related to the Ming Dynasty, it often leads to nightmares.
Just sooner or later.
Forty-four years ago, a citizen-seater from the Port of St. Malo in the Rettany region of the Kingdom of France, Jacques Catia sailed from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Quebec. When he asked where it was in the Indian village, the villagers told him that 'This is a shed', i.e. Canada.
Then, he sailed along the river in a small boat. At the source of the rushing estuary, he found that the boat could no longer sail, so he climbed the mountain to plant a cross, and named it "Royal Mountain", that is, Montreal.
The Aboriginals were very friendly and the adventure was extremely smooth. There were excellent fishing grounds in the Bay of St. Lawrence, a large number of seals and walruses, and the land was particularly fertile. Because the locals were too poor and there was nothing to grab, what happened in Mexico was not staged here. The French lived in harmony with the Aboriginals, and the French colonization should have flourished.
But they only want gold and silver, and every sailor hopes to bring back a lot of wealth. The French royal family gave Jacques five big ships for him to explore, and to make things that the farmers were willing to do to find gold, not walrus, beaver skins or fertile land.
Jacques, who was eager to succeed, captured the Indian chief and tortured him. He learned that there were three "kingdoms" in the inland and told him that there were rich treasures hidden near the Sagnay River, which was a stuttering point in the hearts of the French.
As a result, there were really many shiny treasures. Jacques and the sailors returned to France with gold and gems. After identification, it was just pyrite, copper and mica. Jacques' reputation was disgraced.
For nearly half a century, the French royal family lost interest in expanding Montreal.
But there are still gains. At least France has obtained a slang term, "like Canadian gems" to refer to hypocrisy and falsehood.
Despite losing the support of the royal family, the merchants still discovered business opportunities on this land. Scattered merchants sailed south on ships to Africa to purchase slaves, and then went west to the West Indies controlled by Spain. They robbed them if they could, and sailed north if they couldn't. They sold slaves to Montreal monks on the St. Lawrence River, exchanged for some beaver skins and walrus tusks, and returned with a full load.
The ruler in Montreal was named Henry Katia. Although this was a European name, he was actually an Indian mixed-race child, Jacques' illegitimate son, and a Christian.
With the help of monks, mastering power and learning knowledge to control the land, and also handling relationships with the surrounding indigenous tribes, which is conducive to merchants purchasing goods, so merchants also support him in power here.
In other words, the French who are now "controlling" Montreal are actually some merchants trapped here, and their sailors form this army of mobs.
In less than a month, Henry Catia's mood experienced great ups and downs. At first, he learned that he was catching beavers in the river and killed the Iroquois. He just negotiated with Haifasha according to tradition to avoid war and avoid failure.
Who can beat him?
There are two or three French caravans in Montreal every time the year, and there are five hundred villagers. The Huron Alliance reinforcements who have maintained good relations only take fifteen days to arrive, and the Ottawas can come in six days.
Who can break through the city built by his father Lao Jacques with the protection of six Fran machine cannons, more than forty muskets, hundreds of cavalry and thousands of longbows?
He is the little bully in Canada!
But things went beyond his expectations.
The powerful Hulun Alliance, one of the four messengers who asked for help came back half a month after they were sent, saying that a rising Hulun tribe had set up an ambush with 1,500 soldiers and buried the 4,300 Hulun troops, and fled back less than a hundred people, and three were still crazy.
Now the Hulun Alliance is panicking because the Hulun tribe left the message that "the tribe who dares to resist" and cannot provide him with psychological and realistic conditions.
But the Hurons were still righteous, at least they asked the messenger to bring back a letter of information to Henry Katia: Hulan is coming to you.
The monk said that the prophecy was fulfilled: there were devils guarding the treasure on the other side of the sea.
Henry thought to himself that this prophecy was too hindsight, why don’t you say that the Chinese Khan is coming?
His father called this Canada, China forty-four years ago, and even lived in Montreal for a whole year, waiting for the Chinese Khan's envoy to pick him up and get gold. As a result, he didn't wait until the copper, chlorine and mica were dug out and brought back to France. Moreover, his shameless father never came back.
Living with monks, Henry, who grew up, was looking forward to the arrival of the Chinese Khan envoy. When the Khan envoy came, his father would come back.
But after he inquired about all the tribes around him, no one had ever heard of China.
Henry didn't believe it at this moment, but it was true that he was discouraged. He thought it might be the Spanish that the merchants living in Montreal often said to have called him.
This battle will be difficult to end.
But the reinforcements gathered by the Ottawas comforted his restless heart a few days later.
However, there were a lot of reinforcements. The tribe said that 5,700 Ottawas were advancing towards Montreal.
Henry's heart thumped again when he heard this news. Fortunately, this was my friend, and he didn't know that one of their tribes could gather reinforcements that were comparable to the Major League.
The Ottawas are indeed coming, the men are coming, the women are coming, the elderly are coming, the children are coming, and even the dogs in the village are coming.
They came here not to help, on the contrary, they were seeking help.
The Ottawas heard that the Huron Alliance army was destroyed by the Hulan tribe and heard that terrifying message. Survivors from six villages on the southern bank of the river in the Houjiao tribe fled and repeated the same words.
People said: "Everyone from the tribe is dead, Hulan is coming."
I heard the same words six times in three days, and even the process was the same. When the enemy came, the village surrendered. The village not only did not surrender, but also took out a bow and arrow to shoot the Mohawks who reported the message, and ate the messenger. Then the rider from further away patted the horse's butt and ran away. A day later, the army was approaching.
The decision-making process of Ottawa's migration is very scientific. First ask questions: What should I do if Huluan comes? Then guess assumption: don't surrender; then specify plans and experiments: resist them, resist failure; collect experimental data: fail, fail, or failure; then analyze and argue, and summarize the phenomenon.
Finally, the phenomenon is sublimated into physical concepts and laws: Huluan cannot fight, if you don’t want to surrender, run away quickly!
So Mr. Henry got a large number of reinforcements to enter Montreal, weak, helpless, and very edible.
These old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and Ottawas who hold children eat the military rations of Montreal garrison for one and a half months in a week.
It's simply...it's a disaster.
Henry, who was besieged in the city, relied on the wooden wall that gave him the last confidence and lost his hair. However, his godfather was quite happy. He was baptizing people every week, and he followed the clockwork and told the people who came to take refuge, and follow my faith. If he believed, he would go to heaven even if he died in a few days!
On the fortieth day of Montreal's besieged, a man wearing iron armor and an iron helmet sailed to the dock in a canoe. The people on the opposite shore shouted loudly in a jerky Iroquois language to ask them to surrender to the Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise the city would be broken and the like would be left without leaving any other words.
Henry in the city's face was green! The messenger of the Chinese Khan came, but he came to send them to heaven.
