Super Chief

Chapter 75: The tragic first batch of immigrants in England

"The Kabru priest more than two hundred years ago was unwilling to trade with Vasichu because he foresaw the slaughter of the tribesmen by Vasichu, and voluntarily resigned from his position as the high priest of Cherokee and brought the tribe with him. So why are we now able to trade with the Vasicchus again?" Standing under a tree outside the deliberating hall, watching the busy people move a lot of things from their homes, Shi Xiong asked Hongyun in a low voice. .

Hong Yun shook his head and said, "I am not very clear about the specific situation inside, but when I was a child, I heard my mother say that when our Cherokee moved south to near Monongahela, we defeated the Powa who was entrenched there. The Tans forced the Poitans to migrate east. We occupied a large area near Monongahela. When we stabilized, the expedition team from Vasicchu came to our tribe. They claimed to be French at that time. The Kabru sacrificial palpitations of these Vasichus came, so they used their skills, and as a result, they vaguely felt the slaughter of our people by the Vasichus, so she asked the chief not to treat the French people kindly. But those The French brought precious ironware, cotton cloth, beautiful green crystal cups and delicious drinks. These things confuse the chief’s mind. Therefore, the chief did not agree to the request of the Kabru sacrifice. My ancestor did. Led the tribe to leave the Cherokee Royal Court."

"French?" Shi Xiong shook his head slightly, then looked at the two Vasichus under another tree in the distance who were talking with Li Lei leader, and immediately guessed that the Gaoshu tribe can interact with these Europeans. Reasons for the colonial trade.

   "Did you change someone?" Shi Xiong asked abruptly, Hong Yun was taken aback when he heard it, and didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean, is it true that the Vasicchus who have been trading with our tribe since then were not the French people that the ancestor who Kabru sacrificed to meet? They became English? And these England People are more kind to us, so the tribe will trade with them?"

   Hongyun's eyes widened in surprise, "How did you know?"

   "It looks like I guessed it right." Shi Xiong smiled and said noncommittal.

   In fact, from the clothes worn by these Vasicchus, Stone Bear can tell that this group of people is not the same group of French people that the ancestor of the Kabru sacrificed to.

The Cherokee moved to the vicinity of Monongahela in about 200 years, which is the area at the junction of the four states of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Before the Cherokee arrived, the Vatan was indeed the most powerful force in this area.

   Although the Poitans at the time had more than 10,000 people, they were still not opponents against the Cherokee, who had more than 30,000 people. The Poitans fought several battles with the Cherokees, and they all lost. In addition, the Poitans did not want to cause more casualties, so they voluntarily left Monongahela and moved east to the eastern part of Virginia. And there they wooed a group of local tribes to establish the Powatan Alliance with more than 20,000 people, and controlled the coastal areas of Virginia and eastern Maryland.

  Stone Bear knows the history of North American Indians, so he knows that when the Cherokee defeated the Poitans, it was about the middle of the sixteenth century, almost exactly two hundred years ago. At that time, apart from the Spaniards who conquered Central and South America and established colonies in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas along the Gulf Coast, the central and northern parts of the North American continent had not Any other European country has established a colony, and only expeditions of the Portuguese, British, French, Dutch, Germans and other Europeans are active in the north-central part of North America.

   The French people that the ancestor of the Kabru sacrifice met in the Cherokee palace at that time were an expedition team.

   It is a pity that although the prophecy of the Kabru to worship the ancestors was accurate, it made a fundamental mistake.

   North American Indians were massacred by the Wasichchus in Europe in the future. This is undoubtedly a fact. Unfortunately, it was not the first French people she encountered that killed the Indians, but the descendants of the British.

  Of course, it cannot be said that the prediction of the ancestor Kabru was wrong. In her eyes, European colonists are all the same, and they are all called Vasichu!

Perhaps the ancestor who sacrificed to the ancestors of Kabru had foreseen the massacres of the Vasicchus, and the French expedition reported that his family came from the great French empire, so the entire Gaoshu tribe obeyed Kabru. The last words of sacrifice to ancestors prohibit trading with the French.

  The problem is that European colonists are not only French, but also English, Portuguese, Dutch, German...

Therefore, when the English came into contact with the Gaoshu tribe and declared themselves to be an Englishman and a mortal enemy of the French, the Gaoshu tribe opened its mind and started a deal with the English, which lasted for dozens of times. Time of year.

   In fact, when the English first set foot on the North American continent, their attitude towards the Indians was really kind. If it weren't for their descendants to slaughter more than two million North American Indians, it would be hard for you to imagine that these English people who first set foot on the North American continent would have such brutal descendants.

   From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century, with the development of British overseas trade and primitive capital accumulation, British capitalism developed rapidly. Following the victory over Spain in 1588, he successively defeated the Netherlands and launched a fierce struggle for hegemony worldwide with France. uukanshu. com accelerated the British colonization of North America.

In 1606, King James I of England authorized two joint-stock companies, the London Company (also known as the Virginia Company) and the Plymouth Company (later merged with the Massachusetts Gulf Company), which were composed of large merchants and land nobles, as a charter. Grant them the privilege of developing colonies in North America. This is a comprehensive organization that integrates overseas commerce, smuggling, piracy, and slave trade.

   In May 1607, the London Company condemned the arrival of the first immigrants to North America and established James Town on the north bank of the James River, also called Jamestown. These immigrants included 105 people including speculators, bankrupt gentlemen, and white indentured slaves. The newly built Jamestown was just a wild grassy wilderness. The immigrants built a church, a fort and a few huts here, and began their new life in North America. But the nightmare of the first British immigrants has just begun.

   Due to the plague, smallpox, and yellow fever, the mortality rate of immigrants is extremely high. According to research, only 32 of the first immigrants survived.

   Since then, in order to survive and develop, white indentured slaves have increased day by day, and Jamestown has gradually developed into a colony of Virginia.

   After the outbreak of the British bourgeois revolution, many royalists and land aristocrats also migrated to Virginia, and most of them became local new aristocrats and large plantation owners. These include the Washington family, the Madison family, and the Monroe family. Well, these families have had the previous presidents of the United States.

At this time, the English people who had just immigrated to the North American New World could not be tough. Although the English immigrants who came to the North American New World were not good people, and the first immigrants who had just arrived died in the first British-Poitan battle. A lot of people, so the English people at this time are actually very tragic...
