Chapter 863: The first lifeline of the North American continent, Mickeys decision
The kingdom's exploration fleet was repaired for several days by the Yinpa tribe of the Kumeya people. Mikey, the knowledgeable man, worked hard to communicate with the elders of the tribe and learned more information about the northern continent.
The Kumeya tribes were powerful tribes that occupied the northern coast of the peninsula - the Great Salt Lake - and the lower reaches of the Colorado and Gila rivers. The territories they controlled were what would later become southwest Arizona, the southernmost tip of California, and Mexico in the United States.
The northern tip of Baja California.
In the northern desert that lacks water sources, this piece of land with rivers and lakes suitable for farming is fertile soil that countless northern tribes fight and fight for. Those who can occupy this land must be the last strong ones left after countless battles.
Tribes, and even tribal alliances. At present, the tribes of Kumeya are in a state of being dispersed but connected, and there is a vague prototype of a tribal alliance.
"Brothers from the sea, we Kumeya people have more than sixty tribes and tribes! ... And the three most powerful tribes are the Salt Lake Tribe that occupies the Salt Lake (Salton Sea), and we who occupy the estuary on the west bank.
There is the Changhe Tribe, which occupies the junction of the Wikuwaa River (wikuwa?a) and the Hanan Chuuk River (Hanan Chuuk)! Each large tribe, including the surrounding small vassal tribes, has at least four to five thousand people, who can pull
Send out more than a thousand warriors!…”
Redstone Chief Matutumbe recalled and thought, holding a branch in his hand and drawing a map on the sand. Mickey, the knowledgeable man, wrote quickly, using charcoal to draw a simple map on the tough bark paper, and then marked the details of each department.
Location. He will collect as much intelligence as possible in the vast north to provide the most important reference for the kingdom's future northern strategy.
"Chief Redstone, the Wekuua'a River and the Hanatu River...what do you mean?"
"Oh! The 'Weikuaa River' is the name of the Paiute people in the north. It's called the 'Long River'! This long river is very long. It comes from the upper reaches of the north. There are many tribes along the way... To the east
The Havasupai people would call this river 'hala' (hala), which means 'blue-green water'. And further east, the powerful Navajo Alliance occupies the upper reaches of the long river.
, will call it 'Tuna Hasdzaan' (to nahasdzaan), 'Blue River'. Of course, most tribes along the river will call it the most common name, 'Great Mother River'!"
"The Lord God witnesses! A very long, blue-green, cyan river, the great mother river..."
Mickey the Knowledgeable drew a long line, representing the long known river, extending to the endless northeast. This was his first impression of the Colorado River, and it was also the first time that the entire Lake Kingdom knew about this river that runs through the Grand Canyon.
The long river. And this long river that stretches for five thousand miles has nurtured hundreds of northern tribes and is also the first lifeline of the North American continent!
"...The Hanatu River is what various tribes call the 'Corn River', a river that can grow corn. It comes from the upper reaches of the east and flows through the territories of the Yavapai and Hopi people.
Finally arrived at the Salt Lake. And upstream of this river is the truly powerful Apache Alliance that threatens all ministries!…"
"Corn River? Apache Confederacy?"
The knowledgeable Mickey thought and drew a long line flowing from the east. In later generations, this long line of more than a thousand miles was the Gila River. And at the origin of the long line, an emphasized circle was marked,
It says "Apache Alliance"!
"Eh! It looks like the Nahua Alliance is in the north and the Apache Alliance is in the south. Are these two powerful tribal alliances just connected together? It's like two packs of wolves with neighboring territories..."
Seeing this, Mickey the Knowledgeable thought for a moment and asked Chief Redstone.
"Dear Chief, what is the relationship between the Navajo Confederacy and the Apache Confederacy?"
Hearing this, Chief Hongshi's eyes flashed. He smiled and replied with deep meaning.
"Brothers from the sea, your map is very good, and your vision is as sharp as an eagle!... These two powerful tribal alliances, like two tireless bison, are in a never-ending struggle and fight, and even
It lasted for hundreds of years, hundreds of years!…”
"The tribes in the upper reaches of the Changhe River further east must choose a side between the two and join in this long fight. Because when two bison are fighting, they will not let the surrounding wolves,
Watching leisurely from the side..."
"But fortunately, we Kumeya people occupy the westernmost end of the desert and canyon and do not have to fight for the tribal alliance upstream... Of course, we are also paying attention to them all the time. If the two bison really decide
With one leader, the entire land of deserts and canyons has the only powerful alpha wolf!…”
Regarding the situation in the upper reaches of the Long River, the conversation between the knowledgeable Mickey and the Red Stone Chief ended here. At the end of the conversation, the knowledgeable Mickey looked serious and asked the calm Chief Red Stone a crucial question.
.
"Chief Redstone, the wind of my ancestors brought me here, bringing me the opportunity to change... If there is a real and powerful god who shows miracles in front of you!... Then, you are willing to believe in her and regard him as the only one.
A god?"
Seeing the solemn expression of the knowledgeable Mickey, Chief Redstone seemed to have noticed something. He pondered for a long time and then asked cautiously.
"Brothers from the sea... The sea god controls the sea and determines the fishermen's harvest. The god controls the sky and determines the amount of rainfall... And what are the miracles of a truly powerful god?"
"She controls thunder and fire, giving devout warriors the power to destroy any enemy who resists!"
"Thunder and fire? Destroy the enemy?"
Hearing this, Chief Hongshi raised his brows and showed emotion on his face.
"Do you really have such power?"
"Of course! If you're ready, I can show you!"

Looking at the trees torn apart by flying rocks, Chief Redstone's face changed suddenly, and he didn't speak for a long time. That night, he completely lost sleep. And in the morning of the next day, when Mickey came to see him again, he saw that he suddenly
His face looked very haggard.
"Brothers from the sea! Thunder and fire are the power of destruction... This is indeed a powerful god who can force me to worship her! However, such a power of destruction can only make people awe, but it is difficult for the entire tribe to
Really agree...and I alone cannot represent the entire tribe."
"The power of destruction can only make people awe, but it is difficult for the tribe to recognize it?... And you alone cannot represent the tribe?..."
Hearing this, Mikey, the knowledgeable man, frowned, as if he had some understanding.
"Then, what do you want?"
"The power of life. The power that the entire tribe can identify with."
"...Lord God witnesses! I understand."
Mickey the Knowledgeable once again fell into deep thought, and then made a decision. Chief Redstone’s wisdom and sincerity impressed him deeply. As the second leader of the exploration fleet, his recognition of Chief Redstone also
It means real rewards! That is another gentler assimilation route that minimizes bloodshed.
So, Mickey left the camp and went to the moored long boat to find the exploration captain Zuvalo who was always vigilant and ready to fight. He got straight to the point.
"The Lord God witnesses! Zuwaro, I think the Red Stone Chief of the Yinpa tribe is worth fighting for!... He is a wise man who has seen the power of our fleet. He is personally willing to convert to the Lord God, but the conversion of the entire tribe
, we need to bring real life force to his tribe!…”
"Uh?! The power of life? Mickey, you speak human language."
"I want to leave a missionary priest with the ship in the Yinpa tribe, as well as two young assistant priests and a dozen protective warriors. Then, we will combine drought-resistant sweet potato roots and cold-resistant potato tubers,
Stay here and teach the Kumeians!"
"ah?!"
Hearing this, the exploration captain Zuvalo looked shocked. His thoughts were racing, and he quickly considered the pros and cons of doing so. After a while, he hesitated and asked.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure. Before I came, I asked His Majesty for instructions! Your Majesty said that these suitable crops, better farming techniques, and the use of manure and struvite can be spread to all parts of the northern continent! He said
, 'The Lord God wants to bring prosperity and abundance, rather than cruel destruction and plunder! The more tribal people on the northern continent, the better!'..."
Now that Mickey has moved out of His Majesty, Zuvalo has nothing to say and can only nod in agreement.
"Okay! Praise the Lord God, Your Majesty is merciful!..."
"I agree with your decision, there is only one condition..."
"Chief Redstone will hold a conversion ceremony, swear a blood oath, and convert to the main god of the kingdom in front of the entire tribe!"
