Chapter 976 Black Snake
Haifasha stood on the top of the mountain wearing the Jiajing Tong Baojia given to him by Li Yuxi and leaning on a Ming battle sword, overlooking the Hexin Island in the middle of the mouth of the Sancha River in the distance.

The tall and straight pine forest stretches along the river bank, and a newly built crude port is exposed in the forest. Several large ships used to transport beaver skins are parked at the pier.

When the riders on the island held the blue flag and rode their horses, they raised the dust from the trampled road in the pine forest and pointed to the triangular wooden fence camp in the distance.

On the mountain where the camp rests further away, the red maple forest contrasts with the blue sky, exposing the distant mountain peaks in the north that are covered with snow all the year round.

"They were afraid," Haifasa said.

Standing beside him is Li Yuxi, a spring merchant who returned from the south.

Although Li Yuxi has tried his best to learn the language of the Iroquois, his mental ability at this time is obviously not as good as when he was young, and he still can't understand many words. The riders and warriors of the rice cleaning department, which can help him communicate with the Longhouse Alliance to the greatest extent.

Li Yuxi agrees with Haifa Sand's words - just ask the Japanese, are you afraid of seeing Yongle Tongbao's horse seal on the battlefield?
No one is not afraid to see the enemy commander in a suit of copper coins.

If available, exchange for silver ingots.

Li Yuxi said: "The number of enemies seems to be more than before I left."

"The Ottawas, they reinforce from the west, and the rice cleaning department blocked the Hurons there. If it's just the Ottawas, we can defeat them."

Haifasha turned his head and said to Li Yuxi very sincerely: "You are a sincere friend, and you have solved the tribe's problem for me, otherwise we would not be able to besiege the enemy here. If you want something, just ask."

Li Yuxi listened intently to the general interpreter of the Banner Army, then smiled and cupped his hands, and said: "The leader is serious, it's not that Li persuaded the commander-in-chief, but because he called the general's riders to arrive in time, which made the commander-in-chief stop his troops, but there are conditions .”

Haifasha nodded slowly. He knew what Li Yuxi's condition was - to give up a radius of [-] miles around Lake Erie and negotiate peace with the Cherokee.

The most important thing is that after this war, the longhouse alliance ceased to exist. There was only an alliance of brothers, a standard "black cloud dragon alliance". According to government orders, road construction, trade, and exchange of needs.

In exchange, Heiyunlong will stand still until the end of the war, and Haifa Sand and the five leaders will go to the Blue Mist Mountains to form an alliance, and allow the six Iroquois tribes to share the territories of the Hurons and Ottawas.

"I know the conditions, but I still want to thank you for doing these things for us. If you didn't let me know more things, I would start a war with Black Snake; but now I am determined to continue this war."

The black snake in his mouth is the nickname he gave to Heiyunlong after Li Yuxi let him understand the meaning of the word "Heiyunlong". .

Hei Yunlong gave him two choices, turn around and start a war with Hei Yunlong, or join Hei Yunlong with the spoils after the battle.

As long as the brain is not bad, will choose the second.

Because fighting Heiyunlong means that they have to face three enemies at the same time, Heiyunlong in the south, Ottawa people and Huron Alliance in the north, and their own sixth tribe, Taomi.

At first he didn't quite understand why the Black Snake from the south would let Hulan leave the alliance, but after Li Yuxi's introduction, he understood that Hulan was a small official in the Ming Kingdom farther away, and the Black Snake had a higher official position than him.

At this point, Hu Lan's actions were a complete failure.Although he joined the Longhouse Alliance, others didn't even know what he was, where he came from, and what he could do, so they regarded him as a chief of the rice cleaning department.

It's not as good as Li Yuxi, a businessman. At least he let Haifasa understand what Daming is, what the Eastern Military Mansion means, and even know more that he couldn't know before—what changes are happening in the world.

Haifasa didn't even know that there were Aztecs in the south, let alone that Spain destroyed the Aztecs, and even less that the Ming army defeated the Spaniards.

But Li Yuxi knew these things through Li Yuxi. He knew that in addition to the Longhouse, Huron, Yili and other tribes in this land, there were alliances such as Journey to the West, Water Margin, and White Horse that were not weaker than the Longhouse.

They all belonged to the Ming Dynasty and received excellent care.

Haifasha has sent people to follow Li Yuxi's adopted son to the Gulf of Mexico, where these Iroquois will follow Li Yuxi's adopted son to Brazil, Mexico, Changsheng, Jincheng, and Majiagang. the living conditions of the aborigines in various places,

"One of them is 'Chief Military Officer' and the other is 'Qianhu'. Why do you call them 'General'?"

Haifasa asked this in words mixed with Chinese nouns. He was extremely curious about everything in the Ming Dynasty: "General Hu is very powerful. He defeated 500 Hurons on the other side of the river with [-] men."

Li Yuxi explained the issue of official position and title, and then said: "The black general's artillery is also very powerful. When they come over, they can blow away Fayi's camp."

The reason why they threatened Montreal from a distance across the river and did not go forward to attack was that they were waiting for Heiyunlong's artillery team - Heiyunlong only had cavalry, but no artillery team. Unloaded, the artillery is also installed by the cavalry.

Although they are cavalry, they are very professional in playing Francophone.

Earlier, Haifasa tried to let his tribal warriors attack Hexin Island in canoes, but the result was a big defeat because of the defense of the wooden village and the preparations of the French.

There are not many French people in Montreal, and there are not many black slaves, but they have more than 40 muskets and several Francois cannons. This kind of force is not worth mentioning to other countries, but it means disaster for the Iroquois .

Under the defense of the camp, even only 200 people can repel the attack of thousands of people, not to mention that they have the support of the Ottawa people.

The Ottawa people are more decent than the five tribes of the Longhouse Alliance. Although the French do not sell guns and cannons to the aboriginals, they are never stingy with swords, armor, and halberds as long as they can be exchanged for beaver skins. There are hundreds of infantry armed with European armor.

Both Haifasha and Li Yuxi knew that even if the longhouse alliance could win this battle, there would be heavy casualties.

As the sun set, Haifasa and Li Yuxi, who were sitting on the top of the mountain observing the deployment of the camp, heard the clamor of the tribal warriors on the hillside.

On the grassland along the banks of the river in the south, a huge cavalry team with torches was divided into several groups, winding like a dancing fire dragon. From a distance, they saw the leading cavalry of the army holding a yellow flag high and hunting in the wind. .

Li Yuxi raised his hands behind his back, stretched out two fingers and pointed in the direction of Haifasha and said: "Look, that's Daming."

　Good morning!
