Red cloud came to the map on the wall and looked at it carefully. After a long time, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "guardian, are you sure you didn't draw wrong? Are we Cherokees just occupying a little bit of this land? How can it be
The stone bear gave a smile, and then said in a very positive tone: "sacrifice, I can be sure that I drew right. As a matter of fact, even if I draw like this, I will make the territory occupied by our tribe a little bigger. "
The stone bear didn't talk nonsense. After all, this map of America is only a very rough map, only the general shape of the American continent, most of the details are not drawn at all.
But even so, if this map was shown to those European colonists, it would be absolutely amazing.
Moreover, in order to highlight the Cherokee, the stone bear slightly enlarged the area occupied by the Cherokee.
But even so, the entire Cherokee community now occupies only a small part of this map.
Li Lei, they also came up and saw the map with an incredible face.
After a long time, Li Lei asked: "guardian, I admit that the map you drew is very shocking, but what is it about us? Even if the scale of our tribe expanded ten times or even a hundred times, we could not occupy all of such a large area. And what we discussed before was whether to let the big green hill tribe return. What do you want to explain when you suddenly draw this map? "
The stone bear smiles again when he hears Li Lei's words. It has to be said that Li Lei is really afraid of himself now. Even if he raised his objection, he said it euphemistically.
But Shi Xiong doesn't want to be so tactful with them. He can expand the strength of the tribe as soon as possible, which can't be delayed at all. It is necessary to improve the strength of the tribe as soon as possible.
So the stone bear said simply, "do you know how many of our people live in this land?"
"Our people?" Hong Yun asked, "do you mean our Cherokee people?"
The stone bear shook his head. "I'm talking about aborigines like us who have lived in this land for a long time, not just us Cherokees. Although they are not a tribe or even an ethnic group with us, they have black hair and yellow skin just like us. Compared with the golden haired, blue eyed and white skinned vasichus, although they are far away from us, they are our compatriots because they share a common ancestor with us. "
A few people nodded their heads.
"How many of our compatriots were there before? About 25 million! That's 300 times the number of our entire Cherokee people! "
In the middle of the 18th century, there were about 80000 or 90000 Cherokees living in the Appalachian Mountains. Anyway, there were no more than 100000. The exact number of stone bears was not clear. He only learned about it when he looked at the data in his previous life.
In fact, this number is in the top of the Indian population in the whole North American continent. But the huge Appalachian Mountains not only blocked the outward development of the Cherokees, but also the number and scale of Cherokees.
In terms of population size, after more than 200 years of recuperation, the Cherokee population is no less than that of the Iroquois alliance in the north and the seven color flame alliance in the northwest, that is, the Soviet Grand Alliance.
The number that Shi Xiong said made several tribal leaders confused again. With their level of education, how can they understand the concepts of 25 million and 300 times.
Looking at the confused look of a group of tribal leaders, Shi Xiong sighed helplessly and explained: "what's the concept of 25 million? Let's compare it with our tribe. There are about 300 people in our tribe, and there are about 300 tribes like us, which is about the same number as the whole Cherokee people. "
This let red cloud they good calculate, the result again don't understand, then one by one of the head began to imagine, but finally one by one all defeated. For them, it's hard to imagine the scale of 300 tribes.
"Is that a large number? Too big for you to imagine? "
Several people nodded together, even the wolf's tail.
"Three hundred people together, that's the number of all the people who live in this land. You can imagine how many people there are."
Several people simply shake their heads. They can't even imagine the size of 80000 or 90000 people. How can they imagine the size of 25 million or more people together.
But they all want to know why the Guardian says it's useless.
The stone bear didn't ask them to wait any longer. He pointed to the middle and south of the map, that is, central and South America, and said, "do you see this huge area? More than 20 million of our compatriots live here, but this large area is now occupied by one called Spain and another called Portugal. They not only occupied this large area of land, but also slaughtered our compatriots there. Because their number is small, but they have advanced weapons, so if they want to occupy this large area of rich and beautiful land, they must kill all the indigenous people who originally lived here, that is, our compatriots. In this way, they can search for the wealth of this land without scruple. "
After a pause, the stone bear once again threw out a number that made Lilei and them pale: "since the Spanish and Portuguese discovered this large area of land, up to now, in more than 200 years, those damned vasichu have killed more than 20 million of our compatriots!"
"20 million, do you know what this number stands for?" The more the stone bear said, the more angry he was. Although he had never seen the scene of the massacre of the Indians by the Europeans, he could think of the horrible situation as long as he closed his eyes and thought about it.
"You all know the crooked ear tribe in our Northwest?"
Several people nodded, joking. The biggest tribe of the whole Cherokee people, next to Wangting, is this crooked ear tribe. They live near the big Nancha in the northwest of gaoshu tribe, and they are also the main force against the chekasa people.
What they didn't know was that the name of the crooked ear tribe translated into English is "tanasee", which is Tennessee. Later, after the United States was founded and took over this large area, it named this large area of land Tennessee after this tribe.
"The population of wai'er tribe is about two thousand, twenty million, which is the population of ten thousand wai'er tribes."
As soon as the stone bear said this, red cloud and they all took a breath. Although they can't imagine the size of the population of 10000 crooked ear tribes, they know it's a huge number.
And so many people were killed by the vasichus. It's just
Ignoring their shock, the stone bear continued to point to North America on the map and said, "in the land where we live, there are only more than two million compatriots, no matter the Iroquois and the delavais who once drove us out, or the seven color flame alliance and the Navajo people farther west. And in this area... "The stone bear drew a line on the east coast of North America with the limestone in his hand," that's where vasichu is now occupying. "
"Although the vasichu who occupy this area are not the Spaniards and Portuguese, they are not good birds. The reason why they don't attack us now is that the countries behind them are making a lot of trouble in the old world."
Hong Yun asked curiously, "are you talking about Ferguson's England and Berbera's France?"
These days, because the stone bear has something to do, they are talking about the situation of the old continent in their ears, so now they can roughly distinguish the British and the French, and generally understand the hostile relationship between Britain and France.
"Yes, they are." The stone bear nodded his head with certainty, and then looked at them. "According to the sun god's advice I got, the two countries are now in a row. For this reason, the two countries, especially the United Kingdom where Ferguson is, will continue to increase the exploitation of vasichu, who occupies this area. The exploitation from their own country will inevitably lead to the resistance of these vasichu. The Great Sun God once told me that in about ten years, the vasichus who are here will rise up because they can't stand this kind of exploitation, and eventually they will become independent in this area and establish a new country. "
"Is that true?" Red cloud asked again, but then realized that his question was not good. After all, the guardian had already said that this was what the supreme Sun God told him.
Stone bear did not care, "this is what will happen in the future, about 50 years later. When these vasichus broke away from the jurisdiction of the British and established their own country, they would hold up their butcher's knife to us and even to our countrymen farther west. Because they need the resources here, especially when they find a lot of black iron (gold) in the western plateau, greed will make them no longer have scruples. Because of their greed for the black iron, these vasichus will forget the ethnic groups that have helped them a lot, they will forget that we have let them settle down in this continent, and they will forget that we have given them selfless help. So our descendants will be slaughtered by these damned vasichu! "
After a pause, the stone bear said with great certainty: "under the guidance of the supreme Sun God, I have seen the scene of a river of blood, and our Cherokee people were almost slaughtered, and only a few people escaped into the deep mountains to survive. Tribes like ours will be slaughtered by these damned vasichus in 50 years. You, I and the descendants of our people will be killed in that massacre! "
