Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2927 The Burning Wasteland (1)

  The early independent thirteen states of North America were actually a maritime country, and the vast majority of people gathered on the east side of the Appalachian Mountains. The environment of the North American Great Plains on the west side of the mountains was actually not suitable for Europeans.

  There is a typical temperate grassland, which is suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, but not suitable for farming. Natives were not even nomadic, but relied on hunting bison, no part of the animal wasted, the meat was eaten, the hide was made into tents, robes, etc. Since Europe brought horses, the natives of the plains and rocky mountains The culture has changed dramatically, and it has made hunting much easier.

  North America also has wild horses. They may be close relatives of Mongolian horses. They came to the American continent along the Bering Strait during the Ice Age and then bred their offspring. But they were never domesticated, and early Aboriginal peoples hunted horses alongside bison, leading to a gradual decline in populations. When domesticated livestock is needed to develop advanced agricultural civilization, it cannot develop because of the lack of horses.

   Horses increased conflict between tribes, as warriors were able to span distances previously unimaginable on foot. Before the appearance of Europeans, tribes had been killing each other for hunting grounds or competing for other resources for a long time.

  Fathers hope to train their sons to be brave fighters, and they start training very early. In order to exercise, boys have to run and swim long-distance at the age of five or six, and are often deprived of food and water. At the age of 7 or 10, they will get their first bow and arrow in their lives. At the age of 14 or 15, their riding skills will become very superb, as if they were born masters of riding, even surpassing the Europeans who brought horses to America. .

  America’s cities have never had their walls demolished, because they have never been built. Although some wise people will cut down trees and build wooden walls, its actual effect is far less than that of well-designed fortifications.

Because of this, the commonality of most cities in the United States is "new" and constantly updated, rather than the "Eternal City" Rome, which retains many historical sites like the ruins of the Colosseum. Eternity rarely defines the United States. Cities, people plan cities, and let them spread out like a chessboard on the Great Plains, requiring horses, cars and other means of transportation to travel.

   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 are demolished, the traces left by the city walls are still faintly visible.

  In many writings, political treatises, and histories, anyone who calls a monarch a tyrant legalizes regicide.

  They don't say that regicide is legal, but killing tyrants is legal, so they list the crimes of "tyrants". On the contrary, killing Mingjun and Renjun, the crimes of regicides are listed, so people have a reasonable reason to attack him.

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

  The ceremony provides a bond for the participants, so that a group of unknown people huddle together and grab the bouquet thrown by the bride, as if to get some mana from it, and the next person to marry is the one who catches the bouquet.

The Indians will use colors to draw patterns on their bodies and horses for protection. This "magic power" makes them believe that they will survive, so when the signal to charge sounds, they will send out shocking waves like a storm. The howling sound of fear.

   This kind of charge almost always roars past, they would rather set up an ambush, or lure the enemy deep. Many people were hunters before they were fighters.

  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 soul of the enemy from harassing them after death.

  During the Salem Witch Trials, all the judges hoped that the accused witches could use their magic powers, but when supernatural phenomena really happened, they were terrified and eager to eliminate the "witches".

In 1692, when the new Governor of Massachusetts got a new charter from England, the locals could actually "not participate" in the "game" that the obnoxious former Dominion Governor Edmund Andros had in 1689 With a large entourage, defiantly asked "whether the king owns all the lands of New England". The old preacher told him that the land belonged to the people who had bartered it for it with the Indians, and that two generations of settlers had conquered the wasteland at great cost, taming what earlier visitors called the "remote land". How can it be said that the king owns all the land in New England, where the king had no interest in the land of North America before the settlers appeared?

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

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

Since the signing of the "Westphalian Peace Treaty", wars and peace treaties have been aimed at delimiting the boundaries between European countries. At present, the boundaries of France are determined by natural boundaries. If you add the section of Napoleon to Aachen Together, they made a circle around the French border, but he had a trip to the Republic of Batavia on the way, but it was suddenly cancelled.

It was actually her own impromptu intention to visit Rembrandt's tomb, but a "big misunderstanding" occurred. Commissioners from several countries asked her why Bonaparte didn't go to the Republic of Batavia on the way. up.

She is not unaware that there is a debate on whether or not polygamy is going on "front". Anyway, the publicity of mistresses is considered polygamy in the de facto sense, and there is only one "legal" seal. She can now sit Here is also the reason.

   Pain can make people sober. They can pass that law at will. Anyway, because of the abolition of the "Edict of Nantes", a large number of Protestants ran to England. French women who do not want to accept this law can also go to England.

   Those who can’t escape without money 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 him. Everyone has their own freedom.

  Now she remembered what those soldiers in the army who opposed him said, "Not everything is 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 his character and his cause, he is in no 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 little Cato. As for the body after death, St. Catherine was almost tortured by the wheel because she rejected the lord's courtship.

   I don't know what she was thinking at the time, but she actually named the Knights such a name.

  She fanned her fan in annoyance, although she is not hot at all now, even a little cold.
