Chapter 75 (1/2)

”More than 200 years ago, the kabulu sacrifice was unwilling to trade with vasichu because it foresaw vasichu's massacre of the people, and voluntarily resigned from the position of high priest Cherokee and brought the people here. So why can we trade with vasichu now?” Standing under a tree outside the meeting hall and watching the busy people move a lot of things from their homes, Shi Xiong asks Hongyun in a low voice.

Hongyun shook his head and said: ”I'm not very clear about the specific situation inside, but when I was a child, I heard my mother say that after our Cherokee moved to the south near Monongahela, we defeated the Powhatans who were there, forced them to move eastward, and we occupied a large area near Monongahela. When we settled down, we had vasichu's expeditions coming to our tribe, claiming to be franceans. At that time, the kabulu priest was palpitating at the arrival of these vasichus, so she used her skills. As a result, she vaguely felt the vasichus' massacre of our people, so she asked the chief not to be kind to those Frenchmen. But the Frenchmen brought precious ironware, cotton cloth, beautiful green crystal cups and delicious drinks, which confused the chief's mind. So the chief did not agree to the request of kabulu's sacrifice, and my ancestor led his people out of the Cherokee court. ”

”Frenchmen?” The stone bear shook his head slightly, looked at the two vasichu who were talking with leader Li Lei under another tree in the distance, and immediately guessed the reason why the gaoshu tribe could trade with these European colonists.

”Is it a change?” Stone bear cold not Ding of asked a, red cloud listen of a Leng, don't understand his meaning.

”I mean, are the vasichus who have been trading with our tribe since then not the franceans whom the ancestor of kabulu worshiped met? Instead of being English? And these English people are more kind to us, so the tribe will trade with them? ”

Red cloud surprised of stare big eyes, ”how do you know?”

”I guess I'm right.” Stone bear smile, noncommittal said.

In fact, from the clothes worn by the vasichus, the stone bear can tell that these people are not the same group as the Frenchmen whom the ancestor of kabulu worshiped at that time saw.

In about 200 years, the Cherokees migrated to the area near Monongahela, which is the junction of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. It was the territory of the Powhatans before the arrival of the Cherokees, and the Powhatans were indeed the most powerful force in this area before the arrival of the Cherokees.

However, at that time, although the Powhatans had more than 10000 people, they were still not rivals against the Cherokee people who had more than 30000 people. The Powhatans and the Cherokees lost several battles, and the Powhatans didn't want to cause more casualties, so they took the initiative to leave Monongahela and moved eastward to the eastern part of Virginia, where they won over a group of local tribes, established a Powhatan alliance with more than 20000 people, and controlled the coastal areas of Virginia and eastern Maryland.

Stone bear knew the history of the North American Indians, so he knew that when the Cherokees defeated the Powhatans, it was about the middle of the 16th century, and it was about 200 years from now. At that time, except for the Spanish who conquered central and South America and established colonies in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and the Gulf coast of Texas, no other European countries in the central and northern parts of the North American continent established colonies, only the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the French, the Dutch, the French, the French, the French, the French German and other European expeditions in North Central North America.

The Frenchmen whom the ancestor of kabulu met at Cherokee court at that time were an expedition.

Unfortunately, although the prophecy of kabulu's sacrifice to his ancestors was very accurate, he made a mistake.
