【74】Balance with me(2/2)

Zhou Li'an first praised Mountain Climbing and several war group leaders, and then changed to the language of the Mono people and said: "From tonight on, you are all the people of Balance, and the name Mono people will become a thing of the past."

"Yes, we will obey our Lord's will."

"When you migrate, you need to integrate with the balanced brothers and sisters as soon as possible. They will lead you to hunt bison, obtain furs, and build shacks and residences."

"The most valiant warriors can follow the clan leader to climb mountains, learn how to ride a horse, and form a balanced knightly group."

"You also need to select the smartest children, listen to the teachings of the witches, and master the language I promulgate."

"If you don't understand the language, you will continue to be responsible for the management of your respective tribesmen; you must make the people clean themselves more and not defecate in the settlement..."

Rules and instructions were promulgated one by one, and Zhou Li'an could only do it himself. After making plans for both parties, he talked about another matter.

Open the map.

All the worshipers and elders gathered around.

I saw my master pointed at a valley and depression. The climbers and others had already learned to recognize the map, but the Mono people could only be stunned by this surprising drawing.

Zhou Li'an said: "This is a map, marking the appearance of the land and the division of lakes and rivers; this is the Owens Valley."

After hearing this, all the Mono priests came to a clear understanding.

The true God is about to conquer...oh, no, he is going to grant blessings and bring joy and abundance to the humble and poor people on the earth.

Then the Paiutes, who are closest to here and have been the most sincere friends of the Mono people for hundreds of years, should surrender to our Lord, Kinkou.

The Paiutes live in the Owens Valley.

However, the Mono priests looked at each other in confusion at this time. A middle-aged woman whispered: "My lord, the Owens Valley is remote and needs to climb several high mountains. Heavy snow has blocked our roads. This winter is unusual.

of coldness.”

"We only trade with the Paiute during the warmest times of the year."

It is much colder in the Sierra Nevada Mountains than at the bottom of the mountains. Whether it is sending envoys or going on expeditions, now is not the right season.

Therefore, the Paiute cannot yet enjoy the blessings and glory of balance.

"My lord." Another person said, "But in the mountain jungle south of Mono Lake, there are still a large number of Miwok settlements, but we rarely interact with each other. The Miwok people are xenophobic, and they call themselves Yosemite."

Yosemite), against whom our ancestors fought."

"Finally dividing Mono Lake into our territory."

"The Miwoks must submit to my lord and listen to your teachings."

After Zhou Li'an heard this, he thought of this big California clan, whose branch tribes are spread all over California.

From the San Francisco Bay, to the lower reaches of the Sacramento River, and then to the Yosemite Valley, the branches are extremely scattered; among them, the mountain Miwok people are the main branch.

They were the first tribesmen to arrive and discover the valley at the western foot of Nevada, while the Mono and Paiute people only migrated later, probably with a time interval of more than a thousand years.

Therefore, the Miwok language is very unique. It is the oldest indigenous language and has no relationship with tribal languages ​​in other parts of North America.

This also led to their rapid demise when the colonists arrived in the west. They were unable to communicate. In the eyes of the colonists, they were far more barbaric than the natives in the central and eastern parts, and there was no need to continue to exist.

In the end, only less than a hundred people survived and hid in the mountains.

Zhou Li'an found the location of 'Monohu' on the map, took out a pencil, and drew a circle in the mountain forest south of Monohu——

"Climb the mountain, send the Knights of Balance, and explore this place."

"There is a tribal group here called the Miwok."

"They are destined to be balanced by me..."
