Chapter 552: Chief Chieftain Hillhouse Returns to Lord

At the summit of Cook Peak on the southern shore of the Cook Strait, a Maori man who looks to be in his thirties stands solemnly in the wind.

His name was Hillhouse, and according to his family's ancestral records, his ancestors came from the Shaw clan among the aborigines of eastern Taiwan, and after many years of turning, they finally arrived in New Zealand and settled in the North Island.

All of them, the Maori of the South and North Islands, are meeting today to decide on a major event in history, which is the election of a chief chief.

The more than 100,000 Maori people living on the north and south islands of New Zealand belong to thousands of clans, and each clan has only 180 people, and the strength is very scattered.

In the past, when there were no external forces, this dispersion did not hinder much, because the natural resources here are very abundant, and the natural conditions can be abundant.

But when the hateful British came, they used various means to lure these scattered and weak clan chiefs to sell them the land at a very low price, not only for the land, but also for the mountain farms.

Sometimes, even a pack of cigarettes is exchanged for a mountain.

These British colonizers also took advantage of the information gap among the Maori to push the price even lower, and almost gratuitously plundered the best lots, greatly compressing the living space of the Maori people.

Therefore, Hillhouse organized a few young Maori who had a consensus, and connected all Maori chiefs to elect their own chief chieftain, representing all Maori, to deal with the colonizers, and to fight for and protect their own rights and interests.

These aborigines were very happy and quickly came to an agreement. The chief chief was elected.

This chief chief is Hillhouse. Just as they were about to celebrate this great advance, the warships of the heavenly kingdom attacked, and then the marines landed.

Hillhouse and his companions didn't know who these people were, but they felt that these people were more vicious than those British, so they didn't think much about it, and for the first time exercised their duties as chief chieftain, ordered everyone to go up, and surrounded these murderous and arsonist invaders!

His resolute style was one of the reasons why he was unanimously elected to the throne of chief chieftain, and he was also very knowledgeable. Well-informed, strong in martial arts. Good samaritan.

He was one of the first Maori people to go out of the world to see the world, not only to Australia, but also to Southeast Asian countries, and even to the Qing Empire. I even went to the eastern part of the bend. That is, I heard that it is the place of my hometown.

Although he still has no evidence that his ancestors came from there. But his instincts told him that he was connected to each other.

The course of his travels. It was also a process of learning all kinds of knowledge, so it opened his eyes, and what was even more unusual was that he didn't come back after he was gone, like other Maori, but he still came back to lead Maori into the world of civilization.

As for his martial arts, it comes from the family tradition, the high family marksmanship, no one can match, small kung fu, foreign practice, he has a unique point.

As he watched the war here, he thought about the future of the Maori people, and most of all he thought about how the Maori could be autonomous, politically independent, and then broadly connected to the outside world.

At the same time, he was also commanding the siege of the Celestial Navy.

He had given the order not to cause killing, but to surround it, for he could clearly see that the besieged army was armed with powerful weapons of destruction, but did not use them, but only defended them with conventional broadswords and spears.

And what makes him particularly worried is that there are a large number of warships moored in the port, and there must be more powerful military power in them, not to mention anything else, if the people in the encirclement are killed, those warships will have no worries, and at least half of the people will have to be reimbursed for a cannon bombardment.

He, the new chief chief, could not fail to think about his subordinates, who had just put themselves in power.

What he didn't pay attention to was that at an altitude of three thousand meters, Mai Ke had already set his eyes on him, believing that he was the key person in this siege of the Heavenly Navy, and he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first!

It was also Hillhouse who was too involved, Mai Ke fell from the sky from his rear, and unexpectedly lit his sleeping hole with heavy hands, and captured the chief chief alive in one fell swoop!

The Maori, who were in high spirits, were besieging the Celestial Army, and as soon as they heard of this sudden change, they immediately stopped, and they stopped shouting and fighting. It didn't matter which side of the people and horses were, they all looked at the top of Mount Cook.

On the top of the mountain, a man stands tall and upright, but his hands are held high, and one person in his hands is the chief chief of the Maori!

Mai Ke held up for half a minute, and when he saw that the Maori had seen their heads, he didn't make any more moves, so he put Hillhouse down and tried to communicate with him in a few Maori words that he had just learned to sharpen his gun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stammered, his accent showed that he was from the Han Dynasty, and Hillhouse interrupted him and said, "Are you from the Qing Dynasty?"

Mai Ke was overjoyed and immediately said, "Yes, but I don't belong to them." You were also Chinese, I thought you were Maori!"

"Ahem, of course, I'm Māori, but I'm also Chinese, or my ancestors. You said you didn't belong to the Qing Dynasty, so where did you come from and what did you come for?"

When Mai Ke heard such a question, he was in his heart, so he told him about the kingdom of heaven, including the purpose of coming here.

Unexpectedly, this Maori also knew something about Christianity, and he even met a missionary when he was traveling, and almost led him to his hometown to preach the gospel!

Then he took the initiative to explain that there was a conflict over the country today, and it turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, and that the Heavenly Army was not invading the Maori homeland, but on the contrary, it was to liberate them from the British colonial army.

More importantly, let these Maori souls be saved, completely freed from the shackles of sin, and receive God's blessings of eternal life like all people in heaven, and at this stage, we will all walk the same path together.

After Mai Ke knew that the Hillhouse was more experienced, he told him that the entire Southeast Asian countries and the entire continent of Australia had already belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the vast area of the South Pacific, this South Island was the last relatively large territory that had not yet belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Mai Ke, it's very good, can I also participate in your kingdom of heaven? I'm sure at least some of the Maori agree to be like me!"

"Hillhouse, I have to tell you that in order to really contribute in Heaven, you must first become a Christian. You just told me that the preacher you met earlier preached the gospel to you, so I ask you now: 'Will you confess that you are a sinner, that you will repent and turn back, that Jesus will be your Savior and the Master of your life, and that you will walk with Him all your life?'"

Hillhouse replied, "I do!"

"Thank you, Brother Xie Lu!" Mai Ke held Hillhouse's hand tightly, and then said, "Now we are walking on the road to heaven, and I accept you into the kingdom of heaven!"

Mai Ke repeated the old tune again, and pulled out two bottles of 80 degrees: "Come on! Done!" (to be continued......)
