Anyone who resists the progress of civilization will eventually be eliminated!

When An Renpu was lobbying the people of the Iroquois League to choose to progress, outside New York City, on the snow-covered road, a gray wolf wearing a bearskin coat, no, Xiong Wu should have looked at the bustling streets, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

As the son of the chief of the Bear Clan, he joined the Ming people fifteen years ago along with the other survivors of the Bear Clan, and since then, like his fathers, he has changed into Ming clothes, began to learn the language of the Ming people, and learned Chinese characters in the social science of the village. Slowly, there was not much difference between him and Akito.

"I'm Akito......"

While silently repeating this sentence in his heart, he thought of his father, who was the chief, and it seemed that he could not accept all this, although he seemed to accept it on the surface, but in his heart he resisted, although back then, it was his choice.

"When we defected to them, we originally hoped to get a helper, but we didn't know that we were in the company of the devil, and many people said that the Akito would always be on the side of the Hurons, but now, are there still Hurons?"

His father's words once again came to Xiong Wu's mind.

Why did the father resist all this? Isn't life better now than it was in the past? ”

Xiong Wu muttered to himself, and then he looked up again at the building with a Ming flag fluttering in the distance, and resolutely walked there. He didn't care much about his father's "careful thinking", after all, now Kumabe is just a small tribe of a few hundred people, which is said to be a tribe, but in fact, it is a village in the colony, a village protected by the laws of the colony.

Even this is the reason why he came here - every colonial male has the obligation of military service, usually when they are at home, they are all militia, and when the male becomes an adult, he must serve in the colonial defense force for a year, no one can evade this military service, the army, has always been the foundation of the colony can stand here, without a strong defense army, there is no colony, there is no rich life for them.

"Xiong Wu?"

When Xiong entered the defense army camp to report, Xu Li looked at the guy in front of him who was obviously different from the big guy, and asked in surprise.

"Kumabe's?"

The surname Xiong, this surname itself is rare, and in this place, there is only one possibility for the person with the surname Xiong, that is, the natives of the Xiong Department.

"The chief is well-informed, and I am from the local bear department."

Xiong Wu replied with a smile.

"Oh, I said, this surname is rare, okay, you take this watch, go get the uniform, the weapon, ......"

Xu Li did not reject the natives, after all, in the past many years, there have always been natives serving in the defense army, those natives are familiar with the terrain, it is under their guidance that the defense army can always defeat the Iroquois, and the officers and soldiers of the defense army basically do not know the language of the natives, most of the time the natives are full of interpreters, translating the language of the captives.

Soon Xiong Wu, who had received his uniform and firearms, came to the barracks, and almost as soon as he entered the barracks, he heard someone shouting loudly.

"I promise, this Xiong Wu must be a native ......"

The man who turned his back to him swore to the brethren in the room.

"There must be paint on his face and feathers on his head......"

Hearing the man's description, Xiong Wu said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't have feathers on my head, I don't have paint on my face, and I haven't scalped anyone, you can sleep at ease, I promise that I won't peel your scalp when you fall asleep......"

Sure enough, Xiong Wu's words immediately made the man turn around, and his face even turned pale.

"You...... Is it Xiong Wu? ”

Li Lie looked at the young man in front of him, although his appearance was a little different from that of the big guy, but because there were many mixed-race relationships in the colony, it was not too strange.

"Yes!"

"You're a native?"

"That's right! Any questions? ”

"How is it different from other natives?"

Although Li Lie's questions were one after another, Xiong Wu didn't mind them. He even grinned.

"What's the matter, do you have to be like the native in the pictorial? Like you, I grew up studying in social studies, reading books of saints, studying articles of saints, and I would go to the temple on weekends......"

In fact, there is hardly any trace of Indians on Xiong Wu's body, for the natives living in the New York colony, they need to face not only the more developed and powerful Chinese civilization, but also the populous Ming people, after nearly 20 years of continuous immigration, the Ming people have now become the most populous ethnic group in North America. In the narrow strip of land on the east coast, there are 200,000 Ming people. On the West Coast, there are even more Ming people, who are said to have more than 300,000 people.

Even many scholars in the New York colonies believe that the Ming people are now the most populous ethnic group in the vast continent of North America, compared with only a few hundred thousand British, and only 20,000 in New France. Not even a fraction of Daming and Britain.

The advantage of population allowed the Ming to calmly integrate those Hurons and transform them into the help of the Ming to rule North America, although their numbers were limited, but through continuous assimilation, they would eventually integrate into the Ming and become a part of the Ming people.

However, for the vast majority of the people of the New York colony, the Indians have always been associated with evil, after all, those natives did not bring them any good memories, but more to do with war and killing.

"I don't scalp!"

Feeling the resistance in Li Lie's gaze, and even hostile Xiong Wu tried to use this joke to ease the relationship.

"Who knows if you've done it before......"

"Li Lie, what are you talking nonsense? We are all brothers of the Guard, don't talk nonsense. ”

Wang Wei on the side immediately interrupted Li Lie's words, and then smiled at Xiong Wu.

"My name is Wang Wei, his name is Li Lie, in the future, we will be comrades-in-arms, please take care of it in the future."

Wang Wei, who took the initiative to greet Xiong Wu, couldn't help but look at Xiong Wu's back despite talking about Li Lie.

"I'm like you, with a firebolt and not an axe."

Xiong Wu still had a smile on his face. He knew that many people had a very bad impression of the natives because of past conflicts, but he believed that his comrades-in-arms would definitely accept him in the future, just as the villages near Bear Village accepted Bear Village.

Acceptance always requires a process, and for this process, Xiong Wu is full of confidence, because in his opinion, he is no different from other Ming people. It's just that they haven't been used to it for a while, in fact, many people are not used to it.

"If only you could get used to it!"

Qian Tong, who was a garrison of the Defense Forces, pointed to the list in his hand and pointed to the dozens of names marked with red pen on it.

"You see, their names are no different from ours, and they are also wearing our military uniforms, going to the battlefield with us to kill the enemy, in fact, there is no difference, as long as you get used to it, you don't think they are outsiders."

"In that case, of course it's good. But don't forget, in the end, they are still outsiders, even if they have the same name and the same language as us, there is still no way to change all this, they are barbaric in their bones, this cannot be changed. ”

As a staff officer, Ding Huailin said with some dissatisfaction.

"These people are trained with us, the same training as our people, and they may seem tame now, just like us, but what if they stand against us and become our enemies? They are familiar with our tactics, and when the time comes, we will definitely lose. ”

If it was at the Colonial Council, Ding Huailin's words would have resonated with everyone, after all, over the years, the conflict between the colonies and the natives had left a deep impression on too many people, and the lessons of the past made them dare not believe the natives. Even though the Huron have always been their solid companions, there are still many who do not want to trust the natives, not to mention the fact that they still have to cooperate with their enemies, the Iroquois, who know best that they cannot be friends at all, and that war with the Iroquois can break out at any time.

"Oh, do you really think so?"

Qian Tong asked rhetorically.

"It's not that I really think so, but don't you think it's risky? I have never objected to the conscription of the Hurons into the army, what I am against is the inclusion of the Iroquois in this sequence, the Hurons are different from the Iroquois, they leave our protection, they will be immediately exterminated by the Iroquois, so they can only rely on us, and even willingly be scattered by us, scattered in our settlements, accept the reality of assimilation, in a few decades, there will be no more Hurons in this world, they will integrate into us, but what about the Iroquois? We simply can't control them. ”

Ding Huailin pointed out the window and said with some dissatisfaction.

"The Iroquois are not under our control, and we can't even have any influence on them, so what's the point of educating them at this time? It doesn't make any sense, can we really educate people who are willing to follow us by taking their children into our schools? Perhaps, there will be some people who will follow us, but there will be those who will oppose us, who will apply everything they have learned here to the struggle against us, and if they come to our army, and they learn our tactics, then we will have to face a group of enemies who have mastered advanced tactics! ”

As a staff officer, Ding Huailin opposed the Governor's policy of indoctrination of the Iroquois, which included not only schools, but even the Defence Army, and in the future, the Defence Force would also absorb some Iroquois, of course, after education, which in his opinion was a potential danger.

"There must be danger!"

Qian Tong said with a smile.

"However, this danger is not necessarily dangerous, don't forget, old man, advanced tactics...... Do you think those natives will take advantage of us if they tear them apart on the battlefield with a bullet on our front? Is it them? We have more advanced guns, artillery, and what about them? Maybe they can get some weapons, but they definitely can't compare with us, such a battle is more beneficial to us, than to them, those people can indeed understand our strengths and weaknesses in the army, but in the same way, there will be many people, directly understand our strength, when they realize that they are facing an insurmountable giant, they will slowly recognize the reality, why those Iroquois are still unwilling to submit to us, like the Hurons willingly assimilated, It's because they don't realize their weakness at all, they don't understand the world at all, and now, what we need is to let them understand the world, let them know that surrendering to us is the best choice......"

Yu Huailin couldn't help frowning at this explanation of the garrison, he didn't know how long it would take for those natives to accept civilization, but it was certain that it would take time, a long time, and in the process, there would inevitably be many conflicts. Thinking of this, there was also a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Maybe......"

But can they really recognize reality?

Ding Huailin thought of the Jurchens, and thought of the Jurchens in the white mountains and black waters, did they realize the strength of the Ming Dynasty back then?

They also saw the power of the Ming Dynasty, but what was the point? In the end, they raised the banner of rebellion and tried to conquer civilization with barbarism.

"Actually, there is another benefit to this......"

Looking at Ding Huailin, Qian Tong said in a low voice.

"The current Iroquois Alliance, although it is an alliance of five tribes, they seem to have a similar language, and they all seem to be hostile to us, but in fact, there are certain differences among them, what do we need? By indoctrination to understand them, and at the same time to understand them, disintegrate them, and some of them will rebel against us, and some of them will choose to cooperate with us, and at that time, we can implement the strategy of razing them, and when the conflict between them reaches a certain level, their strength will suffer, and at that time, perhaps, the Iroquois alliance that we need to face has collapsed, and we can easily deal with them, of course, some of them will be like the Hurons, Become a part of Huaxia ......"

Unlike the Westerners, who pondered how to colonize the continent and spread the voice of God, for Qian Tong and many other Ming people, the purpose of establishing colonies was not to expand, but to spread Chinese civilization on this barbaric continent.

"At that time, Chinese civilization will also take root here!"
