Ellensburg, very peaceful, or too peaceful.

But a series of explosions before dawn woke people up. People who walked out of the room found black smoke rising from the gas station, and there were no police officers on the street, no police cars and no fire fighters.

The explosions continued, as if it were a war. It was mainly road and railway bridges that were bombed.

Residents started to make phone calls and found that the phone couldn't get through.

The doors of the police station, the fire station, the National Guard, some gun shops were open, but there was no one inside, guns and ammunition including armored vehicles, artillery were all the time. The ground was covered with blood. But the bodies were gone. The bombed-up highway was marked with a no-traffic sign. The drivers thought something was wrong and waited quietly for someone to let them go.

But with more and more explosions. Groups of Indians evacuated in full force. Only then did they learn that the Indians, who had been rumored to be in rebellion, had launched an attack.

Almost overnight, more than a hundred bridges over roads and railways were bombed, gas stations, oil pipelines were destroyed, gun shops were looted.

When they call Yakima for help, they find that Yakima's condition is even more serious than that of Ellensburg. Thousands of Indians here are indifferently carrying equipment, weapons and ammunition from the army's military bases.

"Fifty years ago, we were forced to live on reservations, we were enslaved, we were treated unjustly. We have no intention of making enemies of the real poor, because it is not your fault. We want to expel the rich and capitalists who have taken our land, and we want to fight for our rights and restore our civilization. Because of our Indians. Thousands of years ago, we migrated here from the West, from faraway China. Just to have a peace, no war, and a land where everyone is equal can give us recuperation. We used to get, our people used to be all over the American continent, and we used to greet all the guests who came to the American continent, including white people. But now it is the capitalists who have made this land full of discrimination and oppression for the sake of their own greed. Not only Indians, but also blacks and poor whites. We don't ask for much. It is to be equal, to be peaceful, to restore the glory of our ancestors. ”

This is a notice posted on the receipt.

The Indians did not occupy the city. Instead, they went into the jungle. Farmers in some surrounding villages were evicted.

"Those hateful natives, taking away our land."

All these people were angry, but none of them rebelled. Because they saw the Indians digging huge pits and putting the policemen who had died. The servicemen buried in. The number reached hundreds. Some black slaves also went with the Indians.

The whites were at a loss, remembering the war fifty years earlier, when the U.S. government had forced a treaty of land concession with the Yakima and 13 other Indian tribes in 1855. The Yakima chieftain Kamaiakan expressed his resistance to measures to remove the Indians and was determined to expel all the whites. At first, Kamaiakan's forces repelled the United States army, and the fighting spread to Washington and other tribes in Oregon. In the three years that followed, there were numerous exchanges of fire between the two sides. Until in the Battle of the Four Lakes, the Indians suffered a decisive defeat. In 1859, the Treaty of Land Concession entered into force. The Yakima and most other tribes settled on the reservation, and their fertile land was open to white land buyers. Since then. The entire inhabitants of the Yakima reservation are known as the Yakima people.

It was the mountain people who were now organizing the revolt, not the Yakimas who lived in the plains, but it aroused the determination of the Yakimas to resist.

Some educated Indians approached Lian Yunqi to get guns and ammunition to organize an offensive against the whites.

Lian Yunqi and Liang Siyong denied it.

"Don't attack the city, and don't go head-to-head with the army, in China it's considered stupid. We live in the countryside, in the mountains and jungles. Which world is more expansive? You should know very well. The reason why we can't beat the white army is because we are not educated with sufficient scientific knowledge, and our tactics, strategy, weapons and equipment are completely backward, and changing all this is the basis for victory. So what you have to do now is to learn and be ready to make planned migrations. I hope you will follow our commands. ”

"Send your children here, we teach them knowledge and culture. Children are our hope, and we will only be strong if they are strong. Liang Siyong said this to everyone who visited.

At school, it is tented and can be moved at any time. Some rangers were with the teachers, teaching not only the Indian language and script, but also the Chinese and script derived from the middle. Liang Siyong also began to extend Indian history to the Fuxi period in China, and continued some legends and histories from Indian tribes during the Xia and Shang periods. Language, writing, customs, architecture, ancient feudal kingship and theocracy, totems, etc., there are too many similarities and even similarities between ancient Chinese history and Indian history.

There are already a lot of young Indians going to China.

After the raids on Ehrensburg and Yakima, the Indians received large quantities of food and weaponry. The food was distributed to each family, who were told not to confront the American army, but to follow the arrangements and pack up their possessions and retreat into the jungle.

The land allocated after striking the farm is not lost, as long as it is won.

Since a large number of children were sent away, it was also easy for these families to move.

The events in Ellensburg and Yakima soon shocked the U.S. government. Due to the complete disruption of the Seattle to Spokane and Ellensburg to Richland rail and highway lines. In a hurry, the U.S. Army and Engineers in Seattle set out for Ellensburg in an attempt to retake Ellensburg, and the other route from Portland along the Columbia River toward Yakima.

The U.S. military captured both cities without incident, but it was not so easy to restore transportation.

But when they arrived at Ellensburg and Yakima. The Indians, who had expected to hold on to the two cities or retreat into the Rocky Mountains, raided Tacoma, Olympia, and Longview. Another near-perfect attack. Only this time the losses of the US military were even greater, and nearly 2,000 police officers and the National Guard who had left the area were lost without firing even a single shot. The territory of the United States has been peaceful for too long, and the Indians have not resisted, but sporadic resistance has never reached the point of storming the city.

Transportation, food, gas stations, oil pipelines, communication facilities, guns and ammunition. The Indian attacks were very purposeful, well-organized, and devastated. As a large number of Yakima Indians fled into the Cascay Mountains, not only were the bridges blown up on the Washington-Portland railroad, but even the railroad tracks were lifted away overnight, and Seattle's transportation was paralyzed.

On the shore of the dark night, four submarines quietly floated, and sixty students of Dark Moon and Quasi-Dark Moon walked onto the shore, and then the submarines disappeared into the vast sea.

Tao Jing looked at the Indians who stood silently at the edge of the jungle to greet them.

"For us as a nation, every part of this land is sacred.

Every beach, every cultivated land, every mountain, every river, every sparkling pine needle, every buzzing insect, and the mist in the dense jungle, the white clouds in the blue sky, are all holy in the memory and experience of our nation.

We are part of the earth, and the earth is part of us. Grass, green leaves, and flowers are our sisters, and elk, horses, and eagles are our brothers. The sap flows through the trunk of the tree like blood flows through our veins. We belong to the same home with the mountains, rivers, animals and plants on the earth.

It is not only the water that sparkles in the streams and rivers, but also the blood of our ancestors. Every reflection in the clear waters of the lake reflects our experiences and memories; The murmuring sound of flowing water echoes the cordial call of our ancestors. The water of the river quenches our thirst, nourishes our hearts, and nourishes our children and grandchildren. The river carries the wooden boats, which travel through the never-ending river, and the wooden boats are full of our hopes. ”

Some old men who looked very similar to the Chinese knelt on the ground, facing the direction in which the submarine had disappeared. The words recited are full of piety and sorrow.

In the end, only the voice of the old spear remained: "We used to greet the white man with a big heart, but Seattle did one thing wrong, he transferred the land to the white man, and he has no right to transfer the land." And now we welcome our people from afar, who have crossed the sea like gods, and will lead us back to our dignity. (To be continued......)
