When Chen Mu was worried about sending people to support Hulan, Hulan himself was also worried.

He underestimated the appeal of Chinese men to members of the Iroquois League.

After the Longhouse Meeting, the alliance quickly worked out the strategic objectives and implementation of the unanimous vote, and the new main combat force of the Hulan Division, or Taomi Division, would be used as a mobile force to attack the Chinese towns of Ottawa on the west side of Lake Ontario.

After the leaders of the alliance recognized their abilities, they followed the large army to the north and then used the 'sturdy beasts' to the northeast along the northwest bank of the river to block the Hurons' from approaching the river, and accompanied the tribes to the southeast of the river to attack the outsiders entrenched on the island of Montreal.

After the discussion, the Taomi tribe soon became the star of the alliance, and the various tribes rushed to inquire about the situation of the Hulan tribe from the Taomi tribe, and after hearing that they only had men, and the men who spoke in the council hall were called Baihu, and there were 110 warriors under their jurisdiction, and there were ten men like this, an even more exciting marriage action began.

The hundred households who proposed 'Guan Yunchang Flooded the Seventh Army' happened to be surnamed Guan, and the person looked upright, and his name was also very correct, called Guan Zheng.

On the same day, after receiving Hulan's permission, he joined the Mohawk, known as the Flint Clan, and three other hundred households, who joined the 'Tateishi Clan' Oneida Division, the 'Hill Clan' Onondaga, and the 'Marsh Clan' Cayuga Division.

Of course, in Hulan's view, at this stage, it can only be regarded as a fixed family.

His tribe was about to be divided up, and even if it was what he was looking forward to, he would inevitably feel unbalanced, so he had to find a faint presence for the 'Hulan tribe' that had once appeared in this land—a grand wedding.

And in the matter of weddings, there is no more complicated marriage than in the Central Plains, so he and the leaders of the various departments finalized that when the war is over, these young men will hold a grand wedding with the bride, and then one day will be held in the alliance for half a year!

In fact, this is also in line with the original intention of the tribal leaders, first look at their 'newcomers' in the war.

For Iroquois women, bravery is a man's most valuable quality, and the test of that quality is war.

The slow and swarthing march irritated every warrior in the Hulan tribe.

They had been marching for a whole year, and had done little of their business, except to walk from the west to the east, over mountains, over grasslands, over rivers and lakes, resting for two months by the great lakes for the winter, and then continuing their march - and now, the natives let them walk back again?

Yes, they began to march west again with twelve hundred hand-picked Iroquois warriors, and the Ottawa towns were to the northwest of them, and they were to cross Lake Ontario from the west, and then attack north.

Due to the lack of burdens to transport their baggage and the more experienced way of marching, the aborigines spent a lot of time foraging for food on the roads away from their towns and villages, which made their march slower than Hulan expected, which made him understand why the battle had only begun for nine months.

After marching more than 300 miles, their vanguard encountered a foraging squad of the Huron in the wilderness, next to a village with more than 30 longhouses, and Hulan could even see potatoes in the fields with a telescope.

The two sides did not say a word when they met, and they lined up with bows and arrows, blow arrows, and threw spears at each other in batches, and the lack of effective means of protection caused heavy casualties on both sides.

But they had more courage than the other troops, and no one was willing to disperse and retreat in the face of similar forces, until another Iroquois Coalition contingent belonging to the Mohawk tribe appeared on the flank of the battlefield, which caused the Hurons to break down and flee.

The Iroquois and Huron speak the same language and share the same culture, even the clans that make up the Alliance, the Iroquois Alliance has five clans, and the Huron people have five clans.

Even both sides use 'silent wars', i.e. the adoption of prisoners of war in place of the dead, believing that the human soul does not dissipate but simply wanders in the world, and can be reborn in another person after a series of means.

For example, in this skirmish, a warrior named 'Redstone' of the Flint Clan of the Iroquois League died, and they captured a warrior named 'White Bear' of the Huron Bear Clan, and Redstone's relatives would adopt the White Bear and rename him Redstone, and then the White Bear would be Redstone.

But in practice, it is not so simple, there is a set of procedures related to the mood of the soldiers, combat losses, traditional beliefs, including punishment and execution.

Hulan was not involved in the battle, believing that the enemy was not worth it for his warriors to push their horses to bear the risk of being cut by arrows.

The most courageous warriors of the Huron were abused as prisoners of war to discourage them, but these brave men were revered, and before the execution was halfway through, several well-wishers of the Allied Tribes scolded and announced that they had adopted them.

But there were those who did not perform so well in battle, and who were too brave in execution, and those who did not say a word were eaten by the Iroquois, and the atmosphere was like that of the New Year.

"What are they doing?"

Hulan gasped for breath, raised his hand and pointed to the Hulun village in the distance and said, "Their village is here, they stopped, abused the prisoners of war for fun, and ate them?" ”

It's a bunch of monsters!

"They don't attack the village." Although the tanuki was not an Iroquois, he was not surprised by this behavior, saying, "Having a village will attract new enemies to settle in, and only then can we absorb more prisoners of war, and they are ...... now Also to absorb them. ”

But after the battle, he realized that these aborigines were different from them, different from the Mongols, Jurchens, and Han Chinese.

They eat people, Iroquois and Huron, they all eat people.

The essence of a war of silence is to weaken the enemy and strengthen oneself.

Their culture believes that form complements form, that if you want the speed of a deer, you have to eat a deer, if you want the strength of a bear, you have to eat a bear, and if you want the courage of a brave person...... then you have to eat people.

The tanuki smoked his pipe and said, "If we lose, we may also be eaten by the enemy, especially a brave warrior like you." ”

Their treatment of captives was different from that of every race known to Hulan, unlike the Han Chinese and the nomadic people outside their mouths, they respected and worshipped the brave and despised the weak, and if the enemy was defeated, it meant that the enemy was incompetent, and he would fight to the death; If the enemy is not defeated, but respected, it is possible to receive the 'most glorious death' in their eyes, and it is possible to live as a new Iroquois.

"Don't look at me like that, the Iroquois are not savage, you see them in the alliance, almost no one fights, the Iroquois longhouse loves each other, excluding those outside the longhouse, but the mythology of the people gives them the responsibility to keep the peace, and their ancestors planted the tree of peace to bring peace everywhere."

Hulan pointed to the warriors gathered in the distance and asked, "Just take it like this?" ”

"In addition to blood relatives, the Iroquois will declare war on every tribe around them, first they will welcome the surrounding tribes to join their longhouse, become the sixth, seventh, now we are the sixth, and the alliance will welcome many more."

"If they refuse to join, the alliance will give a contract to those tribes who refuse, and the two sides will guarantee peace; If they were rejected again, the Iroquois would wage a war of silence, adopting or eating them. ”

Hulan really couldn't listen to the old man's heresy, he was afraid that if he listened to it again, he would think that the Iroquois were doing the right thing, so he simply raised his hand and said: "Hulan obeyed the order, drove everyone in the village, and burned this village!" ”
