Opekan exclaimed: "The white governor Recliffe is willing to make a peace agreement with us in Bowhatan, people, as long as we reach an agreement, we can get a lasting peace, our corn fields will not be burned again, and our land, houses, and children will not be damaged by war!" ”

"In twenty years of war, we've had too many people dead, and too many whites have died, so why can't we stop all this? I'm the Great Chief of Powhatan, Opekan! I don't want to see my people die, and after negotiations with the whites, a preliminary agreement has been reached! ”

"Tribesmen, the white people are powerful, they are on the other side of the ocean, there is a powerful country, there are countless soldiers, there are countless muskets, if we completely anger the white people, they will definitely cross the ocean, when the time comes, what will we resist?"

"Jin Yan, you are doing this to provoke a war with the white people again, do you want to kill the clansmen?"

Opekan's words sparked a deep fear of whites among the natives, and the crowd stirred.

Jin Yan's face was expressionless, unmoved.

"The tribesmen, the sun god said, the whites themselves said: we steal, we lie, we cheat, this is the glory of the white man!"

"They are the most shameless race in the world, and the sun god says, we must not believe a word of the white people, not even a word!"

"They will never abide by any protocols either!"

"In the east of the ocean, there is the Ming Empire, the god of the sun and the goddess of the moon, where there are millions of warriors, that is the most powerful country, if the kingdom of the white people dares to attack us! The great sun god will lead us to destroy them! ”

"We are the noble descendants of Yan and Huang, we are blessed by the omnipotent sun god, and we are invincible!"

"If they want to fight, we will fight!"

Jin Yan's words were like a morning bell at dusk, which lifted everyone's spirits, yes, we are no longer the original us! We are blessed by the gods! We are noble descendants of Yan and Huang!

Jin Yan stared at Opekan: "This white man, I must be punished, big chief get out of the way!" ”

Opekan's face twisted.

The grass dog and other teenagers also drew their knives in their hands, and the two of them were side by side, and they approached in unison.

"Punish whites! Punish him! ”

The natives shouted loudly, louder and more neat.

Philip shuddered.

Opecan was also trembling with anger.

But in the face of the imposing twelve teenagers, Opekan finally backed down.

Philip was caught and his nose was cut off.

Bison shouted coldly: "Get out! Next time you get caught, cut off your fingers again! ”

Philip covered his wounds, did not dare to stop for a moment, and fled as if flying.

All the natives were relieved.

Jin Yan looked at Opekan and the others

"I heard that the Great Chieftain and the Patriarch do not respect the Sun God, so I came over to ask if there was such a thing!"

Jin Yan's violent methods made Opekan and the others frightened, and in the face of the menacing Jin Yan, Opekan was completely intimidated.

"This is slander! We've got wine and gold ready to go! The people know about it, and if you don't believe it, come in and see the gifts we have prepared. ”

Jin Yan smiled faintly: "It seems to be a misunderstanding, okay, let's go." ”

"Take back the bodies of the two white men and stick them out of the valley!"

On the way back, there were three more horses, one of which dragged the corpses of two white people, and tens of thousands of clansmen marched towards the Wild Wolf Valley.

……

The Cherokees were their territory at the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains, from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the Piedmont Plateau, and later belonged to Georgia.

The Cherokee people are brave and warlike, and the famous Cherokee off-road vehicle is named after the Cherokee tribe.

They were studious and extremely intelligent, and were among the first people to migrate from the Bering Strait to the Americas, creating their own tribal scripts and literate syllabic lists, which were extremely successful and led to a significant increase in the literacy rate of the natives.

In 1800, they founded the Cherokee Nation, enacted laws, built up an army, and published the world's first Indian newspaper.

In 1830, the infamous Indian Removal Act was introduced, and the territory of the Cherokee Nation was forcibly acquired for $500,000, and the Cherokee were forced to begin the journey of nearly 1,000 miles westward.

In 1838, a group of about 18,000 Cherokees were driven westward, killing more than 4,000 people on the way alone, and this road is also known as the "Road of Tears".

The same westward migration of the Cherokee tribe as the road of blood and tears abounds.

The Cherokee and Powhatan tribes were bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and were connected to Jamestown after the expansion, and fought with the two tribes again and again in the process of white expansion.

It stands to reason that these two tribes, which have suffered from this, should work together to resist the attack of the whites.

But, in fact, this is not the case.

The Cherokee tribe is a much older and more powerful tribe than the Powhatan tribe, and they are widely distributed throughout the Americas.

They are all part of present-day Canada and Mexico City, and are part of what is now the most powerful Iroquois tribe on the American continent.

The population of the Cherokee in the Blue Ridge Mountains is almost three times that of the Powhatan Nation, reaching more than 300,000! The strength is also extremely strong.

The main target of the Jamestown colonists in the war was the Cherokees.

The Powhatan tribe is extremely reluctant to other language tribes, and of course, the Cherokee people also reject tribes such as Powhatan, but they are relatively more inclusive.

In fact, the two tribes have lived next to each other for a long time, and they can basically communicate with each other in terms of language, but there are differences in some words.

The colonists also used methods such as provocation and inducement, and the two tribes continued to fight, even when they were fighting with the whites at the same time, and they still did not stop fighting among themselves.

Therefore, Huang Xiaocai felt that these natives were more scattered than a plate of scattered sand.

Although there was a fight between the two tribes, Huang Xiao knew from Jin Yan's explanation that there was this powerful tribe nearby, and under his instruction, Jin Yan specially sent four strong women to go out a long time ago, and specially went to the Cherokee tribe to pass on the arrival of the sun god.

Originally, the natives' reverence for the gods was deep in the bone marrow, and several women who passed the message were very sure and willing to lead the team personally, and if they told lies, they were willing to use their lives as a guarantee!

After consulting with the two leaders of the Red City and the White City, they sent this team of more than a hundred people, led by the most powerful warrior in the tribe, Ju Ku, to follow the Powhatan people who led the way towards the Valley of the Wild Wolves.

The Cherokee had a different organizational structure from other tribes such as the Powhatans, and the division of labor was more nuanced, suggesting that they were superior to other tribes in some respects, albeit to a limited extent.

They are divided into two large institutions, which are jointly managed.

In simple terms, the Red City is in charge of military warfare, and the leader is called the War Chief.

The White City was in charge of diplomacy and day-to-day management, and the chief was known as the Peace Chief.

They set up council chambers, which were used for deliberations, large festivals and conventions, and the burning of sacred fires.

The Cherokee Chamber, in fact, is the seat of the highest decisions and the most important festivals, and the flame is not extinguished day and night.
