Chapter 291 (1/2)

Monongahira was the site of the royal court chosen by the Cherokees after they moved south.

In the Cherokee language, Monongahela means ”a place surrounded by mountains”. Later, this large area was transformed into a national forest park by the Americans. In the west, the Monongahela River is one of the two sources of the Ohio River.

The reason why the Cherokee chose the seat of the royal court here in the process of moving south is that one is the result of the guidance of the high priest kabulu at that time, and the other is that the Cherokee accepted the lesson of being driven out of the Great Lakes region by the dravas and Iroquois at that time.

When the Cherokees lived in the Great Lakes region before, the royal court was on a plain with no geographical advantage. As a result, the coalition forces of the Iroquois and the delavais easily arrived at the Cherokee royal court, and eventually forced the Cherokees to surrender.

In order not to be easily attacked by the enemy, the Cherokees chose a plain area of about 156 square kilometers in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains and arranged their own court here.

This is an equilateral triangle of open space, such a flat piece of plain, in the mountains of the Appalachian Mountains is really rare. Around this triangular plain, there are peaks with an altitude of nearly one kilometer, and only three river valleys can get in and out of this plain.

From the perspective of war, this is a place where one man is in charge and ten thousand people are not allowed to open.

Of course, if we consider people's livelihood, this is also a very good place. Because there are two rivers in the plain. In fact, these two rivers should be regarded as one. After flowing out of the mountains in the west, the river will be divided into two. One river will continue to flow eastward, and the other river will turn southward. In this way, three valleys were created in the mountains surrounding the plain.

Because of the flat terrain and the water, this plain is rich in products. Whether it's picking, hunting or planting, the output here is always surprising.

Before the Cherokees came here, it was controlled by the Powhatans, and a very important tribe of the Powhatans was here.

However, the more powerful Cherokees came. They robbed the place like robbers and beat the Powhatans. They had to move eastward. Finally, the Cherokees occupied the magpie nest and occupied all the territory originally belonging to the Powhatans, Yuchi, chekasa, Missouri and Kentucky.

This triangle plain in the mountains was changed into ”monongahira” by the Cherokees.

”It's a wonderful place, isn't it?” Standing at the exit of the valley, looking at the plain in front of him, raoshi Shixiong is very knowledgeable and can't help but marvel at this place.

You know, this is the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. Although the height of the mountains is not as high as that of Dawu Mountain in the south, it's hard to find such a large plain here.

The plain was like a masterpiece of God, and the Cherokees were lucky enough to be the owners of the land.

”Of course, guardian, our royal court is set up here, and with the four guardian tribes living here, it can be said that no one can break through here. Well, our white city alliance is in the East and the red city alliance is in the West. However, both the red city alliance and the white city alliance are far from the place occupied by Wangting. After you meet our chief, if there is nothing wrong, you can go to the Red City League Said jorac Lulu with a smile.

Along the way, the big man brought him too many surprises. Gradually, Jorah krulu could not help but slowly change his view of the big man. After five or six days on the road, when they arrived at the king's court, Jorah krulu and the stone bear had almost become good friends.
