In fact, Nanxian has a deep study of the history and culture of the Maori people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the main source of his knowledge of the Maori people was McKee, who gave him the imprint and the relevant knowledge at the same time.

When McKe conquered New Zealand, he met the Maori leader, who was at the summit of Cook Peak on the southern shore of the Cook Strait, and a Maori man who seemed to be in his thirties stood 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 the eastern part of Moss Bay, and after many years of travel, they finally arrived in New Zealand and settled in the North Island.

All of them, the Maori of the South and North Islands, had come together that day to decide on the most important event in history, which was the election of a chief chief.

At that time, the more than 100,000 Maori people living in the north and south islands of New Zealand belonged to thousands of clans, and each clan had only 180 people, and the power was very scattered.

In the past, when there were no foreign 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 all sorts of ways to lure these scattered and weak clan chiefs to sell them the land at a very low price.

At the same time, not only the land was sold, but also 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, which greatly reduced 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 strive for more benefits to protect their existing rights and interests.

The aborigines were very cheerful and soon came to an agreement to elect a chief chief.

This chief chief is Hillhouse. Just as they were about to celebrate this great advance, the Celestial Warship led by McCor came to war, 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 the authority of their chief chieftain, ordered everyone to go up, and surrounded these murderers and arsonists!

His decisive style was one of the reasons why he won the unanimous election of everyone to sit on the throne of the chief chief.

In addition, he was also rich in knowledge and well-informed, and he was strong in martial arts and courageous in his actions.

He was one of the first Maori to go out and see the world, not only to Australia, but also to Southeast Asian countries, even to the Qing Empire, and even to the eastern part of Moss Bay, which is said to be his hometown.

Although he still has no evidence that his ancestors came from there, his intuition tells him that he is connected to each other.

His travels were also a process of learning and learning, which was an eye-opener, and what was even more unusual was that he did not go out and never return, as other Maori did. He mastered the advanced but came back, and he wanted to lead the Maori into the civilized world.

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 his Maori warriors to lay siege to the Marines who had come ashore to heaven.

He had already ordered not to cause killing, just to surround it.

For he clearly saw that the besieged army carried powerful weapons of destruction, but they 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 forces 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 them 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 so involved in the matter in front of him that he didn't notice that McKe was doing something above him.

Mai Ke descended from the sky behind him, and unexpectedly hit his sleeping hole with a heavy hand, 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, holding one hand high, and there is a man in his hand, who 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 China, and Hillhouse interrupted him and said, "Are you from the Qing Dynasty?"

Quite fluent!

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 a Maori, but I'm also a Chinese national, or my ancestors, you say you don't belong to the Qing Dynasty, so where did you come from, and what are you here 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 why there was a conflict today, and it turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, and the Heavenly Army was not the homeland of the Maori invasion, 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 Hillhouse had rich experience, he told him that the entire Southeast Asian countries, 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.

Later, things were simple, Hillhouse followed McKe to the Lord, and then established a Maori autonomous holy city in New Zealand, and Hillhouse served as the mayor of the holy city as the chief chief.

Later, he pursued this Mai Ke to participate in the battle to overthrow the Manchu Qing.

Although Nan Xian did not know what happened later, he knew one thing, and it was also Mai Ke who told him that he had come here to be the governor, and he must do his best to take care of these Maori.
