Chapter 2927 The Burning Wasteland (1)

The early independent thirteen states of North America were actually a maritime country. Most of the people gathered east of the Appalachian Mountains. The environment of the North American Great Plains to the west of the mountains was actually not suitable for Europeans.

It is a typical temperate grassland, suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, but not suitable for farming. The indigenous people are not even nomadic, but rely on hunting American bison. No part of the animal is wasted, the meat is eaten, and the hides are made into tents

, robes, etc. The culture of the Plains and Rocky Mountain natives has changed dramatically since Europe brought the horse, which made hunting very easy.

There are also wild horses in North America. They may be close relatives of the Mongolian horses. They came to the American continent along the Bering Strait during the Ice Age and then bred offspring. However, they were never domesticated. The early indigenous people hunted horses and bison together, causing the population to gradually

Reduced. When domesticated livestock were needed to develop advanced agricultural civilization, the lack of horses prevented development.

Horses increased conflict between tribes, as warriors were able to cross distances previously unimaginable by foot. Tribes had long killed each other over hunting grounds and other resources before the advent of Europeans.

Fathers hope to train their sons to be brave and capable warriors, and they start training very early. In order to exercise their bodies, boys have to run and swim long distances at the age of five or six, and are often deprived of food and water. By the age of 7 or 10,

They will get their first bows and arrows, and by the age of fourteen or fifteen their riding skills will become very good, as if they are born masters of riding, even better than the Europeans who brought horses to the Americas.

American cities have not demolished their city walls because they have never been built. Although some thoughtful people will chop down trees and build wooden walls, their actual effect is far inferior to well-designed fortifications.

Because of this, the common feature of most cities in the United States is that they are "new" and constantly updated, rather than the "eternal city" like Rome, which retains many historical relics like the ruins of the Colosseum. Eternity rarely defines the United States.

Cities, people planned them and let them spread out like a chessboard on the great plains, requiring horses, cars and other means of transportation.

There are some ancient old cities, and their original scale can be seen from the preserved city walls. Even in some places, even if the city walls have been demolished, the traces left by the city walls are still vaguely visible.

In many writings, political treatises and histories, as long as anyone calls a monarch a tyrant, his regicide is legalized.

They do not say that regicide is legal, but that killing tyrants is legal, so they list the crimes of "tyrants". On the contrary, killing wise kings and benevolent kings, they list the crimes of regicides, so people

There are legitimate reasons to attack him.

Ceremony is an effective means of legality. If the newlyweds only register at the city hall and do not invite relatives and friends to gather together on the lawn to witness the union of the couple, then even if their marriage is legal, it is still missing.

Order something.

The ceremony provides a link for participants, allowing a group of strangers to huddle together and grab the bouquet thrown by the bride, as if to get some magic from it, and the next person to get married will be the one who catches the bouquet.

The Indians would use colors to draw patterns on their bodies and horses to seek protection. This "magic" made them believe that they would survive, so when the signal to charge sounded, they would send out life-threatening sounds like a storm.

A terrifying howling sound.

This kind of charge is almost always a roar, and they would rather set up an ambush or lure the enemy deeper. Before they became warriors, many of them were hunters.

The "Indians" living in the plains, not only the most powerful Sioux, but also other tribes, have a custom that is different from other places, which is to dismember the corpse of the enemy to prevent the enemy's soul after death from disturbing them.

During the Salem Witch Trials, all the inquisitors hoped that the accused witches could use their magic. However, when supernatural phenomena did occur, they were extremely frightened and eager to eliminate the "witches".

When the new Governor of Massachusetts obtained a new charter from England in 1692, the locals could actually "not participate" in the "game". The annoying former Dominion Governor Edmund Andros had said in 1689

With a large entourage, he provocatively asked "Does the king own all the land in New England?" The old priest told him that this land belonged to the people who made exchanges with the Indians for it. The two generations who settled here paid a huge amount of money.

It cost a lot to conquer this wilderness and tame what early visitors called a "remote wilderness." Before the settlers appeared, the king had no interest in the land of North America. How could it be said that this was the king's new possession?

What about all the land in England?

At that time, the "neighbors" of the New England residents were not only the Indians but also the French. When Incris Mather sold them the charter, they were willing to cooperate. At least there was an alternative rule to follow.

Uncontrolled freedom will not only bring chaos and destruction, but also anarchy and a sense of nothingness. All they can do is to consider the scale of concessions under this rule.

Since the signing of the Peace of Westphalia, wars and peace treaties have been designed to delineate the boundaries between European countries. Currently, France’s boundaries are determined by natural boundaries. If Napoleon’s journey to Aachen is included,

, combined together, it was a circle around the French border, but he had a trip to the Republic of Batavia in the middle of the trip, but it was suddenly canceled.

It was actually her own impromptu idea to visit Rembrandt's tomb. As a result, a "huge misunderstanding" arose. Commissioners from several countries asked her why Bonaparte didn't go to the Republic of Batavia on the way.

Already.

It’s not like she didn’t know that there was a debate “in the front” about whether polygamy should be allowed. Anyway, the public disclosure of mistresses was considered polygamy in the de facto sense. It only lacked a “legal” seal. She could now sit on the

This is also the reason here.

Pain can make people sober. They can pass that law at will. Anyway, because of the repeal of the Edict of Nantes, a large number of Protestants fled to England. French women who are unwilling to accept this law can also go to England.

Those who have no money and cannot escape can also think of other ways. But even if many beautiful buildings are built on the ground, who will think that France is a romantic country in the future?

Of course, if someone insists on thinking this way, no one can stop them. Everyone has their own freedom.

Now she remembered what those soldiers in the army who opposed him said, "Not everything can be resolved by interests and official functions."

When the sovereign lives up to expectations, that is, when he is loved by the people, and the soldiers love him as a person and his cause, he will not be in any danger.

Caesar resented Cato's death, and Cato did not want to live in a world ruled by Caesar.

It's just that she couldn't die as tragically as Cato the Younger. As for her body being broken into pieces after death, St. Catherine was almost tortured because she rejected the lord's advances.

I don’t know what she was thinking at the time, but she actually gave the knights such a name.

She was so upset that she was fanning herself, even though she was not hot at all and was even a little cold.
