Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 1186 Benefits and Extraordinary, How to Choose
Newt chatted with the woman in the Iroquois language, and after chatting for a while, the woman came to Dumbledore and the others.

"Man, are you the leader of these people?"

The woman communicated with Dumbledore in English.

Dumbledore looked at Newt, and Newt immediately said to Dumbledore: "This is Polona Huron, the next patriarch of the Hurons. She came here for her coming-of-age ceremony, yours. Showing up ruined the bar mitzvah and kept her from hunting enough scalps."

This sentence made everyone shudder. Why didn't they hunt enough scalps? Does the coming-of-age ceremony need to be so bloody?

It seems to have seen Dumbledore's doubts.

Polona looked at them and laughed, and then stepped on a tree beside Dumbledore. She reached out and touched her extremely delicate boots and said, "Only the warriors of America are allowed to hold us. If we exchange their scalps for rewards, we are not allowed to use their scalps to make our own boots."

The tradition of scalping was originally the tradition of the Indians themselves, which originated from the ancient beliefs and worldviews of the Indians.They believe that the human soul is stored in the hair and scalp. After killing the enemy, peeling off the enemy's scalp can deter the enemy and prevent their soul from doing evil. Dare to act rashly.

This is just a belief determined by the original worldview of the Indians, but in the [-]th century after the influence of the Renaissance and the baptism of the Industrial Revolution, this scalping was enacted by those civilized white people.

1703年新英格兰殖民当局规定每个带发头皮悬赏40英镑，由于战事吃紧，1720年每个带发头皮赏金增至100英镑1723年马萨诸塞殖民当局为每块印第安人头皮支付100英镑奖金。宾夕法尼亚殖民当局为每个12周岁以上的男性印第安人的头皮支付130西班牙银元奖金，对每个女性印第安人的头皮支付54西班牙银元奖金。

If these are just the actions of the colonies themselves, then in 1814, the American government promulgated a hunting decree for Indians, rewarding brave men (or butchers) who dared to scalp Indians, and a male Indian scalp was 100 pounds , a piece of female Indian scalp is 50 pounds. This law was gradually perfected and became the infamous "Indian Expulsion Act". The prosperous America, with modern war machines, launched a system against North American Indians Sexual destruction, hundreds of Indian tribes, ushered in their doom.

At the same time, the "Dawes Land Ownership Act" was used to endow the Indians with land, allowing them to become homesteaders like the American whites.Thus breaking the collective ownership of primitive communes and the organizational structure of Indian society, and weakening the authority of tribal leaders.For Indian culture, this is a way to draw fire from the bottom.That is to say, after the whites conquered the Indians by force, they further destroyed their culture and social organization.

Then the "Curtis Act" was introduced, which is a "political training" for Indians, including compulsory education for Indian children.With the support of the government, white educators opened Indian schools to accept Indian students. In schools, in addition to learning English, students must also participate in Christian worship and other activities.This "enlightened" authoritarianism aims to completely change the Indians' way of life, values ​​and even religious beliefs.

There has long been a joke in America: when white people came to the North American continent in the 17th and 18th centuries, they had almost nothing but a Bible in each hand; the local Indians had no Bible, But it has a lot of fertile land.Through various transactions, 100 years later, the Indians each held a "Bible" in their hands, but they had no land; while the white people not only acquired the land of the Indians, but also kept the "Bible" in their hands. ".

It can be said that the establishment of America was based on the policy and means of genocide against the Indians. After the Indians were completely dealt with, they made false confessions.

"The land on which I, and all other Americans live, was stolen from others not long ago, and we have done it by killing all who stand against us, and taking their property for ourselves . When I first realized this, I immediately had doubts about my accepted standards of crime and punishment, justice and injustice, property and theft, legal and illegal."

But no one said to restore the Indian system and territory, because it only takes a few tears to repent, and restoring the Indian system and land will kill people, so they will always just repent, not make up.

Before Dumbledore came here, Zhuo Qun told him about these things, which made him understand both Indians and America. Now she understands why Zhuo Qun said that Indians would be their allies up.

But in fact, Zhuo Qun said that in America, all races except whites may be their allies, even among the whites, those poor whites will also be their allies.

Because there is no one in America who does not want to come to a zero-dollar purchase event, and will not refuse the benefits.

Dumbledore looked at the boot and said, "It's really a beautiful boot, but I don't know which one is more beautiful than Washington's boots."

"Man! Are you irritating me!"

When she heard Washington's boots, Polona immediately exploded, and those Thunderbird knights in the sky also raised their spears and pointed them down.

Polona yelled a few times in Iroquois, and the creatures in the jungle ran out one by one, and once again surrounded Dumbledore and the others.

The atmosphere was tense for a while.

"It is said that the Muggles in America named Apache as the name of a helicopter gunship. Do you think this is to commemorate that great warrior, or to show off? See Apache being conquered by us!"

Dumbledore whispered in Polona's ear: "Do the Hurons want to go back to their homeland? If so, we can talk!"

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Polona turned her head and glanced at him, "Man, do you know that you are playing with fire? The Hurons will not sacrifice their lives for your white people's struggle. We will not participate in your affairs."

Polona knew very well that none of the white people was trustworthy, so she wouldn't trust Dumbledore, and Newt was only able to communicate with him because he was recognized by the Thunderbirds, but Dumbledore, they couldn't believe it .

"You don't need to help, then you will have no chance to get back your own land. We people are not with the people of America. We are wizards, and we are wizards who are here to change the world."

Dumbledore looked at those people and beasts, and somewhat understood what Zhuo Qun said before he came here.

"Which one do you think the people of America will choose when faced with great changes and interests in the world?"

Their appearance will change the world, and the company that Zhuo Qun let them deal with is a huge benefit. It is really difficult to choose between the two.

According to Dumbledore's understanding, the people in America would probably choose to disclose their benefits, and they would not let Chaofan change the world, because the benefits can be earned again, and the appearance of Chaoyang may make those people fall into the quagmire.

But now that he saw what happened to the Indians, his heart was a little shaken. Would the American people choose to protect their interests?
