Hurricane season.

A flat-bottomed boat capsized in the port of Choctaw, and a small team of dozens of people were soaked in the wind, watching it sinking in the wind.

Choctaw Town is Montgomery, the capital of Alabama in later generations.

The Indians have been here for thousands of years, and they are obviously more aware of it than the latecomers. For the Indians in southern North America, they are all in the Stone Age without exception and are almost the same as the Khasa people in South Africa.

Such tribal men hunt, fight outside, and women farm, collect, farm and collect are obviously more stable than hunting, so they are still in the matriarchal clan era, but gradually there are signs of evolution into patriarchal clan society.

But the highest status in the tribe is the high priest headed by women. The most sacred place in the tribe is the Totem Pole Square, where the high priest lives nearby.

There is a huge totem pole square near the port of Choctaw Town.

Chu Feng did not regret the overturned flat-bottomed boat like others, but said lightly: "Okay, we have all the necessary things on our side, and we throw away nothing more than some food. This is a town, and we can buy it from the French."

I saw that there were about 30 people in their team, except Chu Feng, Katarina, less than ten Truqins, and twenty black men in Truqin summer uniforms.

These black people are obviously young and strong, probably under 30 years old, with a figure of about 1.7 meters, fully armed, carrying rifles, pistols, grenades, and magazines on their chests are very eye-catching.

They were all the first Xhosa black slaves in South Africa who arrived in Cuba. They were promoted to the black camp because of their good performance. This was unimaginable in the Americas in the 18th century, and the black people were obviously grateful.

Of course, all those who entered the black camp had undergone simple Chinese training without exception and joined the Changchun Cult. They also made a poisonous oath in front of the great god Nuwa that they would not betray Truqin for the rest of their lives. They also obtained the assigned black wives and obtained the same land as the Han immigrants and the Miskits.

In order to cater to these people who believe in all living things, Zhang Henxue made partial changes to the teachings of Changchun Buddhism, and set up a totem square in front of the Taoist temple, allowing Indians and blacks to pray to the totem pole, swearing that it is obviously much better than in the Taoist temple and the church.

In this era, besides Europe and Asia, a large number of Africans, Americans were hunting, and women farming and collecting. Of course, they were just simple farming.

From this point of view, most Indians are not very different from Africans.

For the Xhosa people who entered the black camp, they were originally hunters, but now they are nothing more than changing their clothes and weapons.

Among the dozen Truchen people, except Chu Feng, Katarina, and some prospecting engineers, animal and plant experts sent by the Cuban government, and correspondents carrying telegraph machines were eight Marines.

However, one of these people is still very eye-catching.

This is a young woman. She was wearing a Truqin female soldier uniform and high-top Marine boots on her feet. She did not wear a military cap on her head, but a big brown hat that was commonly seen in the Turkuts.

Fair skin and beautiful appearance.

Zhang Henyu and Zhang Henxue's half-sister are twenty-two years old this year. She is not a correspondent, but a professional prospecting engineer.

Zhang Henyu's body was wet, her curves were revealed, and her long hair on her temples was pressed against her cheeks, adding a bit of beauty.

Even Katarina, who has always boasted about her figure, was secretly jealous when she saw her.

However, she is the sister of the governor of Cuba. Although she is just a prospecting engineer, everyone is polite to her.

Of course, this obviously does not include Chu Feng, who has always been unruly. As the eldest son of Chu Huer, the chief father of the empire, even if Zhang Henxue is really Qitade's illegitimate son, he did not curry favor with Zhang Henyu because of this.

He focused on Katarina, fulfilled his promise, resigned from his position as commander of the Iron Armor Fleet, and instead followed Katarina to Alabama as the head of the Empire's "Indian Plan".

Alabama, the British promised land to be allocated to Truchen after the war, and now they still occupy the port castles Mobile and Pensacola, but the Truchens wanted to explore the land in advance and they had no reason to stop it.

Not only did it not stop it, the British governor Oliver, who was in Port Mobile, also sent them a guide, a Mobile man, Oliver's servant.

This person is still a teenager, about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is wearing British clothes. It can be seen that his eyes have never left Zhang Henyu.

Sriver, his name, was obviously Oliver from the meaning of "slave", but it can be seen that he enjoyed the name very much.

Nowadays, the entire state of Alabama is almost the world of Choctaws. The place where their leaders gather is Choctaw (Montgomery), which has a large number of thatched huts, farmland, and a market that facilitates the trade of Indians in nearby Alabama.

In other words, the town of Choctaw has the prototype of Tenochtitland (Mexico City), the capital of the Aztec Empire in Central America.

The whites here are French. They built small wooden churches, farmed nearby, and purchased leather from the Indians. The French had a good reputation in North America, so that the Choctaws took them in—of course, it could also be said that the French took them in.

The Mobile is a branch of the Choctaws, and the language is similar to that of the Choctaws, and it is also suitable to be a guide by Sriver.

Toward north of Choctaw, Birmingham, the coal-iron base in Alabama, was located in another gathering place of the Choctaws. They actually took in the Spanish who were driven out of Mobile and Pensacola by the British.

This place naturally has the name of Muskog.

Mobile was now changed to Fort Charlotte by the British, and Port Pensacola was changed to Fort William, but we still call it "Port Mobile" and "Port Pensacola".

As a pirate who has been traversing the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico for more than ten years, she must have visited Arab horses. Moreover, this place was still the land of the Spanish not long ago. She followed her father to the Americas to do business since she was a teenager, and she also knew more or less about the language of the Indians.

However, when it comes to the religious rituals of the Indians, it is obvious that Zhang Henyu knows more, and Zhang Henxue teaches her everything she knows, which is also an important reason why she comes here with the team.

Starting from Mobile Port, take a boat along the Alabama River and heading north. Taking advantage of the strong south wind, you can easily reach the town of Choctaw. Otherwise, you will have to travel through the boundless primeval forest, where swamps are everywhere, crocodiles and beasts appear from time to time, and it is not so easy to reach.

The rain has been falling, accompanied by the whistling wind.

In the rain, two buildings loomed near the port, one where the Choctaw high priest lived and the other was a French church.

"Where to go?"
