Cahokia Mounds, east bank of the Mississippi River.
Steel, the leader of the Lakota people of the Great Soviet Union, was currently riding his horse on a tall artificial mound that appeared here, looking at the countless "Mongols" camping on the east bank of the river around the city of St. Louis.
Both he and the Marquis of Marina were very "lucky" to escape the pursuit of the "Mongols" and returned to the Saint Louis Castle one day ago. However, Crazy Horse, the leader of the Apaches in the plains, and his son Eagle are missing, and may have been killed by the "Mongols"!
The Iron Chief had no time to grieve, and immediately, with the support of the French, temporarily took over the warriors of the Plains Apache tribe, allowing them to mix with the Soviets he had brought to cross the Mississippi River together. Then they burned all the ships before moving south with the French.
But Steel himself did not leave with him. Instead, he took several Lakota warriors and a "French son-in-law" named Henry Martin to the large mound across the river from Fort St. Louis, and began It's quite a scary enemy situation when you observe it.
That's two people with ten thousand households! And because of the legend of the "Mississippi Gold River", many gold prospectors who had not found any gold on the West Coast sharpened their heads and joined in. Zhu Hehao also squeezed out from being a "fubingjunhuhu". Two thousand households were squeezed into King Huai's ten thousand households and King De's ten thousand households (these two thousand households were only temporarily managed by King Huai and King De), so the total number of people in these two thousand households reached 15 Thousands of people!
150,000 people, plus more than 1 million various livestock, plus countless four-wheeled caravans and yurts, have completely exceeded the imagination of the steel leader.
The Indian leader, who could even do multiplication (he could also do division), was stunned by the scene in front of him. Of course, he also knows the hard truth that there is strength in numbers, and he will try his best to rush the warriors before the tribal battle. For example, this time he summoned thousands of Soviet warriors - for the Great Soviet tribe, thousands of warriors were summoned at one time. Although the number of people is not the limit, it is not a small number either... and the large gathering of 100,000 to 200,000 people is completely beyond imagination.
"Henry, how many are they?"
I don't know how long it took, but the steel leader finally reacted from the shock.
"Ah, chief, they have it, maybe 100,000 or 200,000..."
"100,000...200,000...how much is that?" asked the steel leader.
His math knowledge is still not enough!
"This..." The French tramp dressed like an Indian warrior thought for a moment and replied, "It's probably about the same as the total population of the seven tribes of the Soviet Union."
"What?" Steel didn't seem to understand.
"Chief, the total number of people from all seven tribes in the Soviet Union is about 100,000 to 200,000!"
"There are so many people?" Steel took a breath, widened his eyes, and felt very incredible when he looked at the "Mongolian" camp in front of him that was almost spreading to the horizon.
"Of course!" said the French son-in-law, "Now the seven tribes of the Great Soviet Union are scattered over a very, very vast land... If they could be gathered together, they would certainly look much larger! And they would also be more powerful! "
"More powerful?" Steel asked a little uncertainly, "Will we be as powerful as the Mongols?"
"Yes!" The French son-in-law glanced at the Indian leader who treated him quite well, and quickly boasted, "With a brave leader like you, there are so many brave Soviet soldiers... As long as we can unite, We must be invincible!
By then there will be a Great Soviet Khanate, and you... will be the first Great Khan of the Soviet Khanate! "
"Big... Khan?" Steel narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, as if he was very powerful, "But how can we gather so many people together?"
This is a problem!
The French son-in-law on the side just shook his head, "Chief, the problem now is not how to gather everyone, but that we must gather everyone... If we Great Plains Indians continue to disperse as usual for hunting , then we will soon be defeated by the concentrated nomadic Mongols!
So we must gather together and establish the Great Soviet Khanate belonging to the Indians, otherwise we will be finished! "
Steel nodded slightly, knowing that what this French tramp said was right... The Soviets, who were scattered into countless small hunting tribes, simply could not resist the "Mongols" who gathered together.
The only consequence that cannot be resisted is destruction - the struggle between the Indian tribes in the Great Plains is quite cruel, because they are all nomadic people, not nomadic or farming people, and do not need herdsmen or serfs. So they often massacre the enemy tribes they defeated...
"I understand!" the Iron Leader said loudly, "We must unite and, like the Mongols, be nomadic on the Great Plains!"
"Yes!" The French tramp nodded, "We want to survive and preserve the Great Plains for future generations... That's all!
Walk! Let's go to New Rome first and see if we can ask King Louis to help us establish the Great Soviet Khanate! "
"He will definitely be willing to help us!" The Iron Chief nodded heavily while pulling the reins, "Because we can also help him!"
This is a big deal!
The Indians of the Great Plains are going to learn from the "Mongols" to engage in nomadic herding and establish a khanate... If this succeeds, there will be a lot of excitement on the North American continent!
Just when the Iron Chief and his "dog-headed strategist" rode off the big mound together, galloping south to catch up with his own large group of men. The two brothers Zhu Hekun and Zhu Hezhen had happily entered the St. Louis Wooden Castle and also entered the headquarters that originally belonged to the Marquis of Marina.
"Haha, not bad, not bad...a ready-made castle! Fifth child, how many days have we not lived in the city?" Second child Huai Wang Zhu Hekun has been living in a yurt for a long time, and he has never dreamed of it. A house with a roof!
He looked up and saw that the roof was still there!
Zhu Hezhen smiled even more cheerfully, "What's the castle? The Golden River is what matters... Second brother, you see this is a land where birds don't shit, why do Westerners and Indians build so many buildings here?" A big fort? There is no farmland around it, and there doesn't seem to be any Indian pasture... If it wasn't to dig for gold, why did they come here to build a fort? So many people gathered here!"
"Yes," Zhu Hekun nodded repeatedly, "There must be gold nearby! The Golden River must be nearby. Let's look for it after we settle down... As long as there is gold, our life will be easier."
Zhu Hezhen smiled and said: "The water and soil in this area seem to be good...it seems to be both farming and grazing. If the Golden River is nearby, it can quickly attract a lot of people. With more people, it can develop. Well...Second brother, how about we name this castle Golden City! The big river next to it is called Golden River, how about that?"
This Zhu Hezhen is the king after all, and he thinks about problems from a high level. He doesn't want to just dig up some gold and leave, but is making long-term plans.
Zhu Hekun also understood what his brother was thinking, and nodded: "Lao Wu, you are more thoughtful... We don't care whether we can find gold or not. We should start by naming the Golden City and the Golden River. It can attract some people." come!"
No one has stipulated that the Golden City and Golden River must contain gold! This is a name... If anyone believes that there is gold in the Golden City and the Golden River, and wanders there to find gold, but fails to find it in the end, then he will have to live for the two princes.
Zhu Cixiang's two sons looked at each other and burst into laughter. At this moment, Zhu Hekun's subordinates Wang Shaohua and Wang Qianhu came in to report.
Wang Daqianhu saluted the two princes, and then said happily: "The two princes, the Westerners and the Indians, all crossed the river and then retreated southward!
In addition, we also captured an Indian who looked like a leader! "
Zhu Hekun smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's ask him about the gold first!"
