As the last of the allies to reach the Onondaga tribal territory in the political and geographical center of the Iroquois Alliance, the arrival of the Great Tanuki and Hulan meant that the long-stalemate Coalition Council had entered the final decision.

While the Tanuki Rice Trodge was dispensable to a powerful tribal confederation, the Iroquois was egalitarian, with any tribal chieftain being able to participate in the deliberations, any tribal chieftain to defeat war, and they could make their own alliance plans – as long as more tribes agreed, they could carry out their own plans.

But the most powerful tribe is still the powerful and powerful Onondagar tribe, which has fourteen members of the council, including the leader of the alliance and the secretary of the alliance.

The remaining four Confederate tribes, Mohawk, Oneida, Senesa, and Cayuga, each had eight to ten council members, while the small, scattered tribes such as the Taomi tribe had only two, one chieftain to govern the tribe and one to be the leader of the war.

The Speaker's House is larger than a normal longhouse, with a map of animal skins on the wooden floor, marking the land of the Great Lakes from the south to the coast, the sphere of influence of the five major tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy and dozens of smaller tribes.

The easy-to-understand drawings allowed the Mongols of Hulan, a different Iroquois, to see the difficult circumstances of the alliance.

To the south, they were the equally powerful and disputed Shawnee and Miamians; To the east were the Mohicans, who were always at war with the Oneidas, the eastern gateway to the Iroquois; The land across Lake Ontario to the north was the territory of the Hurons and the Ottawans.

As Haifasha, the founder of the Iroquois Coalition and the leader of Onondaga, thanked each of the tribal leaders who had been called, Hulan secretly cursed in his heart that the Iroquois external environment was much more complicated than the Sioux-speaking Blackfoot, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Lakota, Yankton, and Dakko people he met in the western steppes.

This may have been the illusion that Hulan had not intervened in their tribal strife, after all, at this moment, he was really involved in the war of the Iroquois.

After thanking the tribal leaders, Haifa Shah wore necklaces made of shells for the big raccoon and the hulan to welcome the new members to the nine-year-old alliance.

Haifasha attaches great importance to the big raccoon who led a thousand warriors to the alliance, and even explains the origin of the conflict: "Nine months ago, a young man from my tribe, the Kitty Eagle clan, was walking along the river while chasing beavers, and the beavers he captured were killed by outsiders, and the Huron people protected them. ”

"In order to resolve the conflict, the Huron people sent compensation and apologies to the Kitty Eagle clan, but this did not satisfy the Kitty Eagle clan, and the clan decided to send relatives to take revenge, and seven people were sent to track down the outsiders who killed their relatives."

"According to our common agreement, the Hurons could not intervene, but they waged war to protect the outsiders, and they received support from the outsiders, riding Ahmanfu and holding the animal Falah, and destroying a town."

While speaking, Haifasa seemed to be worried that the big raccoon didn't know what it was, so he gestured with a horse while talking, and took out a musket, which was exchanged for the big raccoon's knowing expression, and said: "Horses and birds, Hulan also has them, and there are many in Hulan." ”

Originally, Hulan was eye-catching enough, and among the chiefs and chieftains wearing cowhide pants, blankets, and feather crowns, they suddenly mixed into a figure wearing a high-topped cloth iron helmet and Liaodong blue dragon cloth cloth iron armor, sitting like a hill, and there was no need to think about how this stood out from the crowd.

The big raccoon said while looking at his son-in-law with a proud look, Hulan has, Hulan has many more.

The chiefs and chieftains of the entire longhouse looked at each other, and Hulan, who was sitting on a small horse with a sheath saber, didn't know what to say, so he had to nod and respond in a deep voice: "Hmm! ”

Not to mention, everyone can understand this person.

The Mohawk chieftain, who had a tall horsehair hairstyle, was an old man with a scar from battle on his face, and asked Hulan, "My tribe has horses, can you teach my people to ride horses?" ”

The big raccoon translated it for his son-in-law, and Hulan naturally nodded.

Lao Mo danced his fists excitedly, his men had suffered enough from the Europeans in New France, and captured a dozen war horses and a dozen muskets, but they would not use or ride...... Some docile war horses can be used by people, but some large pack beasts with not so good temperament are basically ornamental animals in the hands of the aborigines, just like the bears under the command of Ma Gui.

By the way, this ornamental animal is also common in the Iroquois tribes, and bears are captured and locked up for meat.

"The war has begun, and in the last few months we have waged war against the surrounding tribes for revenge, which has supplemented the casualties caused by the disease, and then we have waged war against the allies of the Huron to control the fur fields and trade routes."

"There's outsiders here." Saying that Haifa sa treads the river between Lake Ontario and Quebec, "we must take back the fur market in the hands of the Hurons, who call it Montreal." ”

"But now is the season of trade, there are a lot of Hurons there, if they can't take it as soon as possible, more tribes will come to their aid, and the raid will turn into war, it's difficult."

Haifasha said a word, and the big raccoon said a word to Hulan, and the two of them were still helping Hulan deepen his understanding, and the leader had already said the solution: "So we will fight the Ottawa people first, they are allied with the Hurons, and some of the troops will be transferred to the northwest of the Great Lake, and then launch an attack here." ”

"And then we need a brave army to go down the river to Quebec and cut off the skins of the outsiders from trade, but they have big boats, and along the river, I don't know how to break their boats."

Haifasha said and looked at the big raccoon, he had already found that Hulan couldn't understand them, so he didn't care what to say, just ask the big raccoon.

Haifa Sha stopped Hulan in questioning.

If it were on land, his force would be able to take on almost all missions, whether it was running, garrisoning, fortifications, scouts, or regular combat, they would be fine, but you tell me about the river?

Although Hulan always wanted to be the admiral of the Mongolian navy, he really couldn't solve this matter.

He said: "I am more familiar with land warfare, and I want to ask my subordinates at sea, they have someone who understands naval warfare, maybe they can build a few ships for the alliance?" ”

How many ships to build?

Haifasha was extremely interested in this, and he thought that if these people in iron armor said that they could build ships, then they could probably build ships, right? And they can also learn how to build a ship, killing two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence of Hulan's call to a hundred infantry households into the councilor's house was: "It's too late to build a ship, but this location is very good, thousands of households, this battle can be fought." ”

"How?

Baihu said: "Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army!" ”
