There is a classic saying in the philosophy of later generations that everything has two sides.
Chinese ancestors also have many sayings about this aspect, such as "one's feet are short, one's feet are strong".
This is actually the situation of the fierce bear army.
Sweeping across the new continent of North America, even the European powers are afraid to touch the "bear butt" of the fierce bear army, which is really explosive in terms of combat effectiveness.
But it was for this reason that the Iroquois were terrified.
The Iroquois can occupy the northeast of the new world for a long time and become the most powerful tribal alliance in this area. Naturally, they are not fools. On the contrary, they are very smart. Although the native Indians are depressed and backward, it does not mean that they are all fools who know nothing.
Obviously, the Iroquois have long known that the Cherokees would aim at themselves, and although the Iroquois can dominate in the local area, they have a clear mind. As far as their strength is concerned, they are not as good as a mantis in front of the fierce bear army.
The Iroquois know very well that if the Cherokees are allowed to fight, then the only end of their tribe will be that, like the Sioux, the Cheyenne and the Irene, they will be swept away mercilessly.
But the Iroquois didn't want to be defeated so easily. So there is such a dirty tactic.
This is one of the shortcomings of the fierce bear army when it was at its strongest.
In front of the ancestral land, even if the fierce bear army had mushroom bombs in their hands, they had to throw a rat's fear.
If we say that the bear army is a strong and fierce soldier, armed to the teeth, then the Iroquois are a weak woman without any weapons. However, the weak woman caught the soldier's lifeblood precisely and didn't give up
The stone bear can even imagine the eloqueans shouting triumphantly there - come on, hurt each other!
But the stone bear can't help it.
In the command tent, a group of high-level military officers are afraid to go out one by one when they see their boss's depressed face. Only this heartless guy, trump, yawned a few times and then languidly fell at the foot of the stone bear again, with a look of indifference.
Although this guy didn't hibernate because he had enough food and warm living environment, he was always lazy this winter.
The stone bear stretched out his big hand and gave the bear his head a few times, which made trump want to scare his father
In fact, the stone bear was really depressed. If according to his idea, shabby would agree to the condition put forward by the Iroquois.
Laozi came from the soul. Moreover, Laozi had never seen any ancestral land before. Naturally, Laozi could not be as respectful and affective as Hongyun and bakaluzu. What I want is to build a powerful empire that belongs to the Indians alone. I want to be the founding emperor! As for the others, none of them is important!
But the stone bear also knows what ancestral land means to the whole tribe. If he didn't want to be labeled as a "tribal sinner" and tarnish the name of the "founding emperor", Shi Xiong would have ordered the Iroquois to be leveled this morning.
A little Iroquois dare to act wild in front of Lao Tzu. He just doesn't know how to write dead words!
But now Hongyun came forward to say that, and bakaluzu, who was too old to walk, and some other senior priests and witch doctors were obviously supporting Hongyun, so the stone bear had to be treated with caution.
But look at those brothers who are also silent. Stone bear knows it's time to take a pinch of his own words.
"Bakaluzu witch doctor, you used to be the high priest of the tribe, so do you think the Iroquois did it right?" The stone bear barked a few times and then asked.
The wrinkled bakaluzu looked up at his chief and slowly shook his head. "It's not right. The key is that our ancestral land is now in the hands of the Iroquois. Once they really set fire to our ancestral land, it's too late to say anything."
Red cloud interrupted: "chief, ancestral land can't be burned in front of us! If that happens, not only will we all become the sinners of the tribe, but even our tribe will become a tribe without ancestral land. It's going to be laughed at by all the people... "
The stone bear frowned and nodded.
In the past, Hongyun used to call herself "big bear", but now she even said the word "chief", which is enough to prove that she is really worried now, and also hopes that she will not be impulsive.
Bang Ya Hua Zi, stone Bear looked at bone spear, "bone spear, you used to be the leader of the four guard tribes of the royal court. You should know what the most traditional weapons used to be used to fight in the morning, right?"
Stone bear doesn't look like a chief. He really doesn't know these things.
Bone spear nodded and said: "chief, the meaning of Yoda Seneca is very clear, that is, we each send 1000 people to fight with wooden sticks, stone knives, stone axes, bone spears or bows and arrows. Anyway, as long as it is not the kind of firearms used by vasichu, we can use them."
After a pause, bone spear explained: "the muskets and artillery used by vasichus belong to foreign weapons, not the traditional weapons of our tribe."
The stone bear raised his eyebrows. "Do you mean that our steel knives, iron bows, throwing axes and iron spears should also be regarded as traditional weapons?"
Bone spear hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in affirmation: "count! After all, although the materials of these weapons are different, they still belong to the category of cold weapons, not hot weapons. It's not against tradition that we use our own weapons. "
"That's good!" The stone bear slapped the armrest of the seat and made a loud noise. Trump looked up at his father discontentedly, gave him two more jabs, and fell down again.
"This evening, we will select one thousand fighters from the guerrillas and let the mixed seventh division prepare the wooden shields, steel knives, bows and arrows, iron spears and hatchets it needs! I need a thousand steel knives and a thousand wooden shields, one for each soldier. I need 2000 more hatchets, two for each. In addition, I need 600 strong bows and corresponding arrows. Among these 1000 people, there should be 600 archers who are good at archery. In addition, I need 400 iron spears. I need 400 of the 1000 soldiers who can throw iron spears as far as possible
After a pause, the stone Bear looked at all the people in the tent and said in a deep voice, "tomorrow, I will personally lead these 1000 soldiers to kill the Iroquois! Didn't they threaten us with our ancestral land? Then I will defeat them in the most traditional way! "
As soon as the stone bear said this, almost all the people objected with one voice: "chief, you can't go to the battlefield in person!"
"Your objection is invalid!" Stone bear stood up, "I'm the chief, I'm the one who makes the final decision! Don't forget, I brought you to our ancestral land. Now, in this situation, I have the responsibility to solve this problem! Well, you don't have to say anything. I know what I'm doing. All you need to do is surround the Iroquois. No one is allowed to run out! Finally, I'll make out with their six chiefs in person... "
The stone bear's mouth turned up and pulled out a chilling smile
