Chapter 11 Go Out, Please Come In

"Damn, I knew they were such a few people, I shouldn't have ordered everyone to surrender, we are ten times their people, I, I, am a pig." When he thought of the grievances of these days, Clinton couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"No, lieutenant, we have to protest, they can't treat us like this, we have to claim from them the rights of our prisoners of war." For several days in a row, the hands of the American GIs were frozen and cracked in the Arkansas River, and the hands that used to hold the butcher's knives were now blurred with flesh and blood, and it was snowing, and even the Cherokees were resting, but they, the American GIs, still had to help them build fortifications, and Bob also felt very aggrieved.

"James, you go, protest to those people, we're going to get back our rights, go." Clinton had a lot of his lieutenant's majesty, and he ordered James, who was carrying a big rock hard.

"Why me." James had to let go of his hand and said with a sad face.

"It's not you, it's me?" Bob scolded, "Do you want them to find out that we are officers?" ”

"Alright then, I'll go." James straightened his waist with difficulty, timidly looked at Clinton's uncertain face, thought for a moment, wiped the dirt on his hands, and was about to take a step, not wanting a strong man to appear in front of him, and shouted coldly: "What, want to be lazy?" Isn't it underwhelming? ”

"No, absolutely not, sir." James nervously explained, but the more he tried to explain, the more confused he became, and the image of the handsome officer in front of him became taller and taller, "It's them, they are the ones who asked me to say that we want to claim back the rights of our prisoners of war, and they protested, you can't do this to us." ”

"Hehe, ridiculous, your American ** team is also embarrassed to ask for the rights and interests of prisoners of war, okay, you go and talk to Washington, ask him, what is the matter with a hundred dollars a scalp, and then ask Taylor, how he treats prisoners of war. Hmph, you should be glad that you are still alive, and you dare to tell us about your rights? In addition, remember, call me Sergeant Liu Yu in the future, Sgt. Liu Yu, hear clearly? From now on, you will all be under my control. ”

Sergeant Liu Yu, a member of the airborne team, but an undergraduate student majoring in history, had no choice, the history major could not find a job in the tide of marketization, so he had to get on the ship of the Air Force.

When Liu Yu said this, James immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes, we don't know how to cherish it, so I'll go and tell them that we must cooperate with the sergeant's management." ”

didn't wait for Liu Yu to speak again, and he had already stumbled far away.

Everyone knows that Washington offered a bounty for the purchase of the scalp of the Indians, but Taylor's brutality and inhumanity, as an American GI, James, felt it particularly deeply.

The Indians were forced to move west, and the tribal leader, Black Hawk, led his retinue, including some women and children, to cross the Mississippi River again to enter the land of Illinois that had been ceded to the whites.

In response to the Black Hawks' practices, the government sent troops to suppress them. The troops sent were divided into three routes: the first was the local militia group, and the second was the troops led by Brigadier General Atkinson from St. Louis; The third road was the regular army from the east, led by Major General Scott.

And one of the main reasons for the success of this crackdown was that there was a famous figure in Scott's army named Zachary. Taylor, who is the "hero" of the suppression of the Indians on a par with Harrison in American history.

This time, Taylor's unit was the first to arrive at the intended location. His 4th Infantry Regiment quickly fortified Fort Dixon and pursued the Indians continuously. The Indians, exhausted by hunger and fatigue along the way, and dragged down by women and children, were unable to cope with the battle, and finally decided to retreat. On 3 August, when Black Hawk led his men to the Bad Ax River, they were intercepted at the mouth of the river by the sudden Taylor's troops, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides, as a result of which the Indians suffered heavy losses. Black Hawk offered to surrender three times, all of which Taylor refused. After Taylor and others were killed, they cut off their heads and spread around, leaving an indelible shadow in the hearts of the Indians. The Indians near the Mississippi River trembled at the sight of Taylor's name, which had almost become a cure for children's night cries.

"Damn, when our people come, we must kill all of you pigs, dead, all dead." Clinton gritted his teeth and snorted.

In order to drive out the Indians, the Americans mobilized nearly 7,000 troops and militia, and Clinton's army was less than 1,000 people, and there were more than 6,000 people on the road.

Of course, he will not be disappointed by the traversal, and soon, he will welcome his companions.

After letting everyone live in this simple mud house before the heavy snowfall, the hearts of the people finally settled down, and although hunger and cold still accompanied the people of Cherokee, with the help of the omnipotent traversal, they believed that they would have a better life.

"You are truly angels sent from heaven, and you have saved not only the Cherokees, but also the Indians of the whole Americas, benefactors, please tell me what we can do to repay your kindness." Logan is a sincere person, if he wasn't a sincere person, he wouldn't have been driven out by the Americans after helping the Americans countless times. However, it seems that he has been deeply taught by Confucianism and always adheres to the spirit of great internationalism, and he is a self-sacrificing and enthusiastic young man, so he will naturally not be embarrassed to ask the Cherokee for anything in return.

Zhao Wenli didn't think so, because traditionally speaking, the Indians were still the masters of this land, and the Americans were just robbers, after discussing with Xu Yongquan and a few other people, Zhao Wenli still said cautiously: "We are not angels, we are also ordinary people, we are from the far west, we have the same yellow skin, black eyes and black hair as you, and it is our bounden duty to help you." Not only are we going to help you live, but we're also going to help you establish your own nation of the Indians in Louisiana. But when all this is on the way, we are going back to our own place, so you have to work harder, harder, so that more Indians can gather around you, gather in Louisian, and resist the shock and slaughter of the Americans. At that point, we can go back. ”

"Benefactors, are you really leaving, are you really leaving us?" Logan became excited.

"Yes, we also have our own homeland, our own motherland needs us to build, and we don't need anything in return from you, what we need is fraternal friendship. The nation of the Indians will be our friends forever. So, when we build our homeland, we want the support of all the Native Americans in the United States. ”

When Zhao Wenli first threw out this condition, almost all the people who crossed were stunned, this small circle drawn by Zhao Wenli included all the places west of Louisiana, almost forty percent of the territory of the United States, and Canada further north, and they only had a hundred or so people, but they had such a big appetite, how could they not be surprised.

"We need our own allies, but allies are only allies, but they are never our own people." Zhao Wenli looked at the far west, "Isn't the lesson of the two white-eyed wolves we raised hungry enough to be profound?" ”

"Indians, do they dare?" Chen Weidong immediately shouted excitedly.

"Of course, they wouldn't have dared to do so, or they wouldn't have let the Americans slaughter them all. But how many of us are there? There are 113 people in total, and there are only five women, how do we survive here? To this day, we still have to borrow English to communicate with the Cherokees. But there are thousands of Indians, and if we continue to develop like this, will we help them, or will we eventually integrate into them? While we may be able to help them survive the American slaughter while we are still alive, what about our next generation, when we are old, to hide them in the midst of the vast Indian population? Or let them, like the Indians, end up falling under the butcher's knife of the Americans. ”

"What should I do?" Zhao Wenli's words made all the traversers fall silent.

"We can help the Indians build a state, of course we can build our own country, so we need to help the Indians become strong now, as long as they really establish a country in Louisian, we can naturally stop the Americans from continuing westward, and the vast expanse to the west and north will be ours. But our population base is still too small," he said, glancing meaningfully at Erchen, "Both, you and the Indian girls are making good progress, making their bellies bigger as soon as possible, and then making them our own people, is one of the most important ways we can increase our population at present." ”

"Nothing, absolutely nothing," Chen Weidong immediately denied, "I am still a very traditional person, I still hope to marry a Chinese as a wife, and the matter of the Indian girl, just playing on the spot, I swear, I never said that I wanted to marry them, and they did not say that they must marry me." ”

"Well, then you're willing to leave your children in a strange corner and make them dirty Indian children." Zhao Wenli glared at him angrily, "You are still not a man, if you are a man, you should take the responsibility that a man should bear, don't let all of us despise you." ”

"You're saying that I can take care of them without affecting my wife." Chen Weidong looked at Zhao Wenli in disbelief.

"Hmph, you want to be beautiful, bigamy, you want bigamy! You're breaking the law, naked. Before Zhao Wenli could speak, Zhou Wenqian and Zhu Linlin immediately screamed and jumped.

"Okay, two young ladies, just take care of your own people, but presumably Xiaohu and they don't have such courage. But what laws are there here that prevent Xiao Chen from doing this? Besides, if we don't, how can we not increase our population base? Not only Xiao Chen wants to do this, but everyone else has to learn from them, as long as they are consensual, we don't care how many Indian girls you find. Then he looked at Hu Jiaqing and Xu Yongquan with a wicked smile, and then looked at Wang Xiaojing, who was snuggled behind Chen Dayong like a tame kitten, "Several, now the conditions are limited, everything can only be simplified, what is the wedding ceremony can be saved, just notify everyone, time is very tight, do you have to hurry up and get a few children out, they are our authentic descendants of Yan and Huang." ”

Zhu Linlin proudly took Hu Jiaqing's hand, stroked her belly proudly and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, grasp it with both hands, both hands must be hard, we haven't forgotten it for a moment, you just have to seal the red envelope when the time comes, it seems that Sister Xiaojing also has good news, what about the rest of you, do you have to come on?" ”

Zhu Linlin said that it was relaxed and natural, which made Hu Jiaqing, Wang Xiaojing and others nervous.

"Okay, they're all bad people, so I won't tell you." Zhou Wenqian glanced at Zhao Wenli faintly, and then glanced at Xu Yongquan, who was looking at him eagerly, his face was red and purple, and he stomped his feet and said, "I have something to do, go first, you men, there is no good person." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Wenli touched the back of his head in distress.

"I see, isn't Qianqian in love with Brother Zhao?" Zhu Linlin looked at Zhou Wenqian's background suspiciously, blinked her eyes, and suddenly said happily, "I know, she has always said that she wants to marry a real soldier, although Brother Zhao is no longer a soldier, but he was a soldier before, wasn't he?" Yes, she must have fallen in love with you, Brother Zhao, why don't you hurry up and chase after you. ”

Xu Yongquan's face changed immediately, and Zhao Wenli couldn't help but pause and said: "Xiao Zhu, don't talk nonsense, I'm ten years older than her, besides, I'm also married, so it's not appropriate." ”

"I really don't understand the amorous feelings," Zhu Linlin stuck out her tongue naughtily, and Hu Jiaqing pulled her hard behind her, so she stopped.

"Okay, let's stop talking about that, let's get down to business," Zhao Wenli coughed unnaturally, cleared his throat and said, "I discussed with Liu Shijie, Captain Xu and others a plan to go out and invite in, to turn unmarried young Indian women into our own people, this is the first step of the plan, but this is far from enough to increase our population base, if we want to expand, we must find a way to immigrate from the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, and moreover, it must be included in our work plan as soon as possible." ”

"Really, are we really going to send someone to the Qing Dynasty?" Although there are more than 100 people in the traversal, they still feel a strong sense of loneliness after more than three months, because they live in the vast North America, and their group of people is indeed too small. And only the mother country is their roots, and only the people from the mother country will make them feel safer. It's not just the people who travel through it, it's not the European immigrants who did it in the first place.

"Yes, but we obviously don't have the strength now, so we have to fight the next battle with the Americans, although a small number of Cherokees have defected these days, but they have emigrated nearly 20,000 people in total, and now there are only three or four thousand, and more than 10,000 people are still on the way, still being driven by the Americans. So, we can't just sit back, we have to go out, knock the American GIs hard, and then ask them for something. We lack everything now, no food, no seeds, no tools, no weapons, only the Americans can send us over, guys, we can't rest this winter, get ready, let's do his big job. ”
