"Sounds very good, Chief Opekan, Chief Jin Yan, what do you think?" Shui Lian asked.
Opekan glanced at Jin Yan and then at Shui Lian.
He stood on the far left, with Jin Yan on the right, Shui Lian next, and Thunder Horse on the far right.
Just this glance made his heart confused again.
Jin Yan and Shui Lian are both extremely rare beauties. They stood so close to each other, and the fragrance from the two women's bodies penetrated their noses, making Opekan almost lose his mind!
When he came here yesterday, he was shocked by Jin Yan's appearance. He had never seen Jin Yan before, and he didn't expect that there was such a beauty in the tribe, and as the chief, he didn't know about it.
If he had known earlier, he would not have been polite. At that time, the sun god had not yet arrived. If he said a word, the leader of the Tao tribe would definitely be willing to give his daughter Jin Yanzi to him as his wife.
Pity!
Seeing the water lotus again today, Opekan was even more distraught and couldn't help himself.
There was a look of obsession on his face, and he couldn't help but be crazy.
Rema turned his head to look at Opekan. When he spoke, he saw the piggy look on his face. He suddenly became furious and snorted heavily.
Opekan woke up with a start and saw Rema's dissatisfied eyes.
He quickly said: "I think we can reach a peace agreement with the white people. Everyone of them has muskets. They are so powerful. They also have huge sailing ships on the sea with powerful artillery!
Also, they have the support of a powerful country behind them. Even if we win, they can still send people over in a steady stream! "
"The more we fight, the fewer people we fight. In the end, we will no longer be the opponents of the white people. It's not that I, Opekan, are afraid of the white people, but, as you know, after the war with the white people, our tribal alliance has lost nine tribes. ! If the Sun God hadn’t come, the Tao tribe would have been gone, that would be ten!”
"The cost of war is too great. It's better to live in peace with white people. What do you think?"
Rema snorted and looked at Opekan with disdain, "That's because your fighting ability is too poor. We Cherokees and white people have also been fighting for so many years. Although we have killed and injured many tribesmen, the white people are not easy off either! I don’t agree to this agreement!”
He paused as he spoke: "The other side of the Powhatan River also belongs to the territory of the Powhatan tribe. Your brother, Chief Powhatan, did not admit that they belonged to the white people until his death. If you sign this agreement, haha. "
Rema's taunt made Opekan's face turn blue and white.
If the agreement is signed, it is indeed against my brother's will, but if I don't sign, how many more people will die?
Also, Ratcliffe couldn't get the benefits he had promised in private, which was not a good deal.
"Chief Jin Yan, what do you think?" Opekan asked the question to Jin Yan beside him.
"What the two chiefs said is reasonable. We cannot defeat the white people, but their agreement is also untrustworthy."
She changed her words: "But that was before, but it is different now. The white people's Jamestown is supported by the British, and we are supported by the Ming Empire, the most powerful divine country in the world! We also have the omnipotent divine blessing, and we We should loudly tell all the tribesmen that we are not afraid! We are not afraid of war with white people!"
Opekan, Reima and others were shocked.
Jin Yan said: "The Sun God said that white people are prone to lying. Everything they say cannot be trusted, especially their promises! I don't agree with this matter, but the sun is about to rise, and the gods are about to come. It’s up to the Sun God to decide!”
Opekan and Rema nodded.
The voices of the several people discussing were not loud, and Philip could not hear clearly from below, but he also knew that several chiefs were discussing.
But I heard Opekan's voice coming out.
"Preacher Philip, the great Sun God is coming soon. Let the gods decide this matter!"
After Opekan finished speaking, he ignored Phillip and immediately started the ceremony after discussing it with Jin Yanleima.
There had been many rehearsals last night. After the order was given, the crowd retreated, revealing a large open space.
More than 20 wizards took the lead, and more than 2,000 Powhatan natives danced the war dance.
Leather drums, tree drums, bone flutes, recorders, okaris (similar to xuns), rattles and other musical instruments also sounded together with the sounds of the indigenous people dancing and tapping the ground.
The scene suddenly became lively.
This primitive war dance is a very important part of the tribal people's ritual of praying to the gods. Although their musical instruments are backward, the magnificent scale and pious attitude are also moving.
This was not the first time for Philip to see indigenous people dancing war dances, but the scale still shocked him. However, he felt that these were a group of uncivilized savages. However, he was extremely excited about the coming of the sun god. Interested in.
As a senior missionary, he has deep faith in God and is always looking for miracles from the gods. Often, he can attribute some strange things in nature to the omnipotence of God.
But he didn’t quite believe in the Sun God!
Although the sun god called Yellow Emperor is different from everyone else, without the support of miracles, he is just a false god!
This must be heresy!
The teachings of the Holy See believe that all stars in the world move around the earth!
God created human beings and placed them on the earth in a central position. The sun, moon, and stars all revolve around the earth.
The heretics believe that the sun is the center of the universe and is stationary, the earth is round, and the moon and other stars all revolve around the sun.
The Inquisition issued its verdict, and heretics were burned to death in Rome's Campo de' Fiori!
This so-called Sun God Huangdi must also be a heretic who accepted the influence of heliocentric theory.
At this time, geocentric theory is absolutely correct! It is a holy scripture that the Holy See fully maintains!
Copernicus proposed the heliocentric theory, which shook the teachings of the Holy See, and was burned to death in the Campo de' Fiori in 1543.
The famous Italian scholar Bruce, who inherited and carried forward Copernicus' heliocentric theory, was also burned to death in the Campo de' Fiori twenty-five years ago (1600).
The famous Italian physicist Galileo Galilei was also a supporter of Copernicus' heliocentric theory. At this moment, he was being persecuted!
In 1612, he published "Dialogues on Floating Bodies in Water", which used scientific methods to demonstrate Copernicus' heliocentric theory. This book caused a sensation in Europe. Pope Paul V issued the famous "1616 Ban", prohibiting Galileo from dictating, writing, and disseminating Heliocentric theory.
Last year, Galileo went to meet with the Pope. He met with the Pope six times, trying to explain that heliocentric theory could be reconciled with Christian teachings, saying, "The Bible teaches people how to enter the kingdom of heaven, not how the celestial bodies move."
And he tried to persuade some of the archbishops by this, but to no avail. Urban VIII insisted on the "ban of 1616" remaining unchanged;
Later... he was persecuted and tried, and became blind in his later years. Until his tragic death in 1642, he was still labeled as a heretic. It was not until 1882 that the suppression of heliocentric theory was lifted, mainly because of scientific progress, which forced the Holy See to recognize it.
Until November 10, 1979, Vatican Pope J. Paul II publicly vindicated Galileo on behalf of the Holy See, believing that the Holy See made a serious mistake in persecuting him more than 300 years ago!
This shows how ignorant Europe is at this time.
Throughout history, in the entire process of human civilization, who is the representative of ignorance, and who is the representative of civilization?
