"Is it displacement?"
The faces of the five chiefs were very ugly. They had all experienced the hard days of being displaced.
They really don't want to try that kind of life again!
"Resistance?"
Batulu gritted his teeth. If he was given a choice, he would definitely rise up and resist. He never wanted to live the previous life again!
"Or..."
Qing Yangshuo's hawk-like eyes suddenly exuded evil aura, and he stared at them. The five chiefs remained silent.
"Seeing the wives and children of my tribe sold to the Spaniards or the French, or possibly the British, as slaves, worked as cattle or horses, and died in the humiliation!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a bang.
Baturu slammed the table and stood up, his clenched fists with bulging veins.
Mr. Qing Yangshuo's words brought back unbearable memories from the past.
His eyes darkened and he roared angrily: "Stop talking, City Lord!"
"I would rather die than let my people be humiliated."
Qing Yangshuo nodded with satisfaction. Batulu's fighting spirit was best stimulated. He looked at the others and asked: "What about you, how do you choose?"
The four Indian chiefs, whose expressions were extremely ugly, Qing Yangshuo's six-word question directly weighed on their hearts.
How to choose?
How can I choose?
Give up the current wealthy life, the life of eating meat every day, and go to live in exile, living a life of being beaten and killed by the colonists every day.
Then he was caught by these colonists and watched as his own people, his wife and children were insulted and died in anger while working day and night.
Come to think of it, they've all had this experience.
The faces of the four chiefs were extremely terrifying. Their fists were clenched, and their nails were piercing into their flesh. They were not aware of the pain.
After all, he is the chief of the same tribe. Should he lead his tribe on such a path?
No, this kind of thing cannot happen a second time.
After the Longyan people came here, they built Yuncheng so that they could live a good life with plenty of food and clothing.
If it is the Spaniards or other people who threaten Yuncheng.
How is it possible to take away your hard-earned life!
"I understand, City Lord!"
"We all understand too!"
"Me too."
"And I……"
The four chiefs looked at Qing Yangshuo and solemnly promised: "We must not let Yuncheng be robbed by others and come to fight them."
Qing Yangshuo showed a very pleased smile. This pre-war mobilization was done well.
"Yes, people do die in war, but someone has to carry the burden forward so that those behind can enjoy the good things."
Upon hearing these words, the five chiefs' eyes shone with light and they gasped.
Someone has to carry the burden forward so that those behind can enjoy the good things.
Yes, isn't it for the sake of the future life of his wife, children and clan members that he is fighting away those who want to take away his good life?
The way they looked at Qing Yangshuo changed.
What started as respect gradually turned into adoration.
Although this city lord was sent by Long Yan.
There is also a letter of recommendation from Qin Changfeng and a guarantee from Deputy City Lord Li Cheng.
But the Indians only respected the city lord.
The only person they admire and respect in their eyes is Qin Changfeng, who is here to help them build the city and resist foreign enemies.
But at this moment Qing Yangshuo also gained their admiration.
Just this sentence!
Qing Yangshuo felt the change in the eyes of these Indians and didn't pay much attention to it. This sentence was not his original one.
This is what Chief Assistant Liu Zheng once said.
At that time, Qing Yangshuo thought it made sense, so he excerpted it.
Unexpectedly, it would be used here, indirectly allowing Liu Zheng to appear as a saint.
Qing Yangshuo shook his head, no longer thinking about Long Yan's living legend, but pointing to the map of the current area of the Isthmus of Panama.
"This used to be the territory of the Spanish, but the geographical environment is certainly not familiar to you. Where do you think the Spaniards will attack from?"
These five Indian chiefs looked at the map, although they have not received complete military training or theoretical study.
However, Yuncheng has carried out education since its establishment, so the five chiefs can still barely understand the map.
They looked at some locations marked on the map and frowned.
Qing Yangshuo asked, "What's the problem?"
Among them, Batulu has war experience. He sighed helplessly: "City Lord, our Yuncheng is like a rag that can breathe everywhere."
"The Spaniards can attack from anywhere."
Upon hearing this, Qing Yangshuo nodded and fell into deep thought.
"With this kind of terrain, we have no way to defend ourselves. Originally, the jungle beneath Panama could be a natural barrier, but now that the canal is being built, this natural barrier has become unobstructed."
"Also, although we have a lot of troops now, the Spaniards have more troops than us. Apart from having better equipment than the other side, we have no advantage in other aspects."
Qing Yangshuo frowned slightly. He didn't fully grasp the terrain near Yuncheng, so he needed them to talk.
Qing Yangshuo looked up at them and asked, "Do you also agree with Chief Batulu's statement?"
The other chiefs, without exception, nodded.
Qing Yangshuo asked again: "What about the terrain of the Spanish colonial area? Do you know anything about it?"
The others thought for a while. Although they were colonized by the Spanish, they did not know much about the Spanish colonial areas now.
It was already far away from the Isthmus of Panama for them.
The territorial awareness among Indian tribes is very strong, so under normal circumstances few Indians will rashly break into the territory of other Indians.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
And the consequence of this misunderstanding is usually death.
The five chiefs fell silent. Now the Spanish colonial area has shrunk a lot. In the core colonial area, they have no idea what is going on there.
"Perhaps there is a chief who knows." Batulu thought of something and suddenly said.
Qing Yangshuo and all the Indian chiefs looked at him.
Immediately, the other chiefs also woke up and found out who the chief Batulu was talking about was, but their expressions were extremely ugly.
"Chief Baturu, there is no way that man can come back to help us."
Batulu wanted to retort a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his words were so weak.
Qing Yangshuo didn't know who the person they were talking about was. He looked at Batulu and asked, "As long as there is a chance, we will give it a try."
"This is crucial."
Now it is impossible to defend the city, so the only way to take it is to attack the city and turn passivity into initiative.
Seize the opportunity, but the only difficulty now is that they are not familiar with the terrain of the Spanish colonial area.
