Chapter 107: Three generations of cooking puppets
Sell a country?!
Why not sell the air, the sea and the earth?
Didn't God create them for His own children?
——— 19th-century North American Indian national hero, Tecumse
………………………………
Tecumseh was a North American Indian chieftain, orator, and military strategist in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
He opposed the cession of land to the whites by the greedy Indian chiefs, and called on the Indians to unite against the white invaders by replacing the inter-tribal war with an intertribal alliance.
…………
Tecumseh was born in Ohio.
In 1774, his father and sister were killed by whites and scalped. The mother took the two brothers to the market of a neighboring tribe and escaped.
Tecumse, in order to defend his homeland, fought against the US army many times in his youth.
In 1791 the invaders were defeated, and the Second Expeditionary Corps of Lieutenant General St. Clair was defeated.
In 1798, he and his twin brother (nicknamed "The Prophet") launched a revival self-defense movement in Ohio, calling for the eradication of alcoholism, the cessation of land, the promotion of native beliefs, and the formation of tribal confederations.
William Henry Harrison, Minister of the Northwest Territories, led his army on a westward march, engaged the tribal confederation under the command of Tecumse, losing six regiments.
In March 1801, Tecumseh served as Grand Chief and summoned the major chiefs of the Northwest Territories to Ohio to negotiate an armistice.
In April 1801, Harrison launched another spring offensive, leaving behind hundreds of American corpses and an artillery battery of equipment, and retreated in a hurry.
In July 1801, the Tribal Confederation concluded the Treaty of Greenville with the U.S. government.
…………
In the summer of 1803, Grand Chief Tecumseh traveled to the Ohio River Valley and the Midwestern Lowlands to visit other tribes to further the construction of the Indian state.
William Henry Harrison, receiving spy information, began to assemble infantry and artillery units.
He planned to take advantage of Tecumse's visit to "purge the Native Americans" of the Native Americans and clear the way for the expansion of the Northwest Territories.
…………
The Greenville Treaty has been reduced to a piece of waste paper.
The sweet words of "eternal friendship and hand in hand" and "the spirit of the United States of America as a guarantee" are still in my ears.
The Greenville Treaty clearly states that "the United States renounces its claims to indigenous peoples' lands beyond the Ohio treaty line."
………………………………
Harrison led the main force of the American army and attacked the town of Prophet, the capital of the Shoshone tribe.
The Shoshone tribe, without Tecumse's command, suffered a crushing defeat, with the thriving town razed to the ground and tens of thousands of Indians slaughtered......
However, this time, Shoshone did not pay the same compensation as before.
…………
Facing the ruined town of the Prophet, the bones of the Indians who have been scalped everywhere are everywhere.
On the one hand, Tecumseh gathered the scattered tribesmen, told the other tribes about the tragedy in Prophet's Town, and awakened the national consciousness of the Indians;
On the other hand, in the manner of civilized countries, ambassadors were sent to Washington, Ottawa, Quebec, Mexico, and the Republic of Texas to denounce and condemn Harrison's tearing up treaty.
In the face of this offensive of diplomatic public opinion, William Henry Harrison's explanation is:
"We lie, we cheat, we steal, and we have a course dedicated to teaching that. This is the glory of the United States' continuous exploration and progress! ”
…………
In addition to the diplomatic offensive, the Grand Chief of Tecumse, who traveled from tribe to tribe in the northwest, spoke everywhere:
"Why can't the Indians keep even the last place?"
"It's the Indians who lack unity and don't have weapons."
"Only by uniting all the Indian tribes, from the forests of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, to take up arms, can we stop the tide of white immigrants and defeat them."
At Tecumse's initiative, Indian tribes began to abolish alcoholism and boycott Caucasian textiles.
They proudly wore their buffalo skins, exchanging only animal skins for ammunition and weapons.
At the same time, drawing on the experience of white military organizations, Tecumseh gathered young warriors from all tribes for military training in a unified manner.
…………
Tecumseh went deep into the tribe to make secret connections, and after three years of hard work, many tribal chiefs and military governors got in touch with Tecumxa.
The Grand Chief of Tecumxa, in the alluvial plains of Tipekanlou Bay and the Wabushu River, organized Indian troops and established a defense alliance of tribes.
At the beginning, there were more than 4,000 participants, all warriors of the Shawnee, Derawak, Otibwe, Ottawa, Kekapo, and Portavotome.
Its political organization takes the form of a 'republic'.
…………
This Indian League advocated against the imposition of whites on the Indians that "the ownership of the land belongs to the tribe that hunted its land, and the tribe has the right to sell the land to the whites." ”
Tecumsey argued: "The gods give the land to all his children."
"No tribe has the right to claim ownership of a particular piece of land, and therefore no tribe or part of a tribe can transfer ownership of land without the consent of all the Indians."
Tecumsey and his brother spread this idea very successfully.
Thus, an unprecedented movement of the Indians arose on the American continent.
…………
Although he preached nationalism at home and insisted on acting according to the rules of civilization externally, Tecumse did not want revenge through war, and he knew that the idea of revenge was unrealistic in the face of the disparity between the power of the enemy and the enemy.
He planned to negotiate with whites on an equal footing in the name of the "Red Nation League" to protect the long-term interests of his nation. 、
The core principles of the Red Skin Nation Alliance:
"Any tribe ceding land must be approved by the whole tribe to be valid. Because of Tecumse's insistence, Harrison eventually walked away from the deal. ”
An army of tens of thousands, encompassing hundreds of thousands of people, was born in the forests of the plains between the Ohio River and Lake Erie.
………………………………
It takes too much blood and sweat to save a civilization that has fallen behind;
And to destroy it, sometimes a small battle is enough;
It's easy to hear the earth-shattering sound of a group coming out of its shell to flapping its wings from the high-pitched march of America's rebirth.
However, it is also a sad prelude to another race's struggle, to its decline, to its demise.
…………
At a time when Tecumse's career was thriving, the cunning British set their sights on the Indian's star of hope.
At that time, it was the eve of the outbreak of the Anglo-American War, and the United States was sharpening its knives to seize Canada, while Britain was being dragged away by Napoleon, and there were only more than 3,000 troops stationed in Canada.
The British, naturally, took the idea of the Indians.
Under their instigation, Tecumse gathered the unformed army and took the initiative to go to war with Harrison.
…………
At the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813, the British and Americans reached a peace agreement, but did not tell the Indian tribal coalition.
During the campaign, the British, in accordance with the "gentlemen's agreement" between the Anglo-Saxons and the Americans, silently withdrew the Guards Infantry Brigade and three artillery battalions from the forest.
The Indians suffered a crushing defeat, and Tecumseh was killed in battle, at the age of about 44.
…………
In order to threaten the Indians, Harrison dismembered Tecumsay's body and skinned it to make razor's sharpening belt.
The tribal alliance that the Indians had built so hard to build collapsed overnight, like the fate of the Indian hero Tecumse, like a shining meteor across the sky......
In the end, there was only an endless night, like ink and paint.
The red-skinned national alliance is completely decayed.
30 million acres were annexed to Indiana.
………………………………
This plane, Yubari City, Yangquan Restaurant.
The brown sharpening belt lies quietly on the floor of the dining room.
【Razor Sharpening Belt】: A razor sharpening belt made from the skin and intestines of the greatest chieftain and warrior ever seen by the Shoshone.
…………
"This should be considered a ...... Part of the bones. ”
Nobunaga Hato, who drank a large glass of Shiraza whiskey, muttered as he looked at the reddish-brown human skin sharpening belt on the ground.
"Definitely! It's an organ like human skin or intestines...... Rice animal TMD is too perverted. ”
Kifutaro squeezed another large amount of toothpaste and began to brush his teeth for the third time, scolding vaguely.
…………
Nobunaga entered the operation interface of the [Yangquan Restaurant] system in his mind and began to adjust the interface of the new cooking puppet.
【Ding! Eligible bones found! 】
A black shadow pulled out of Nobunaga's shadow and flowed on the floor like a liquid, blending into the shadow of the razor belt.
Then, the entire razor belt disappeared as if it sank into the black water...... After a few minutes, a figure began to rise from the ground in the black shadows on the ground......
【Ding! 三代のTecumse】
