Monongahela was the seat of the royal court chosen by the Cherokees after they moved south.

In the Cherokee language, Monongahela means "a place surrounded by mountains." Later generations, this large area was converted into a national forest park by the Americans. The Monongahela River in the west is even more One of the two sources of the Ohio River.

The reason why the Cherokees chose the seat of the royal court here during their southward migration was that one was the result of the guidance of the Kabru high priest at the time, and the other was that the Cherokees accepted that they were accepted by the Delaware and Yi. The Roques teamed up to drive out the lessons of the Great Lakes region.

When the Cherokee lived in the Great Lakes region, the royal court was on a plain with no geographical advantage. As a result, the coalition of the Iroquois and Delaware easily reached the Cherokee king. The court finally forced the Cherokee to surrender.

In order not to be easily attacked by the enemy to the royal court, the Cherokee chose a plain with an area of ​​about fifteen or six square kilometers in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains and arranged their royal court here. .

This is an equilateral triangle open space. Such a flat plain is really rare among the rising Appalachian mountains. Around this triangular plain are mountain peaks with an altitude of close to one thousand meters, and only three river valleys can enter and exit this plain.

From the point of view of war, this is a place where one man is in charge of everything.

Of course, if you consider the people's livelihood, this is also a very good place. Because there are two rivers passing by in this plain. These two rivers should actually be regarded as one river. After flowing out from the mountains to the west, the river is divided into two, one river continues to flow eastward, and the other river turns southward. This created three river valleys in the mountains surrounding this plain.

The terrain is flat, coupled with water, so this plain is rich in products, whether it is picking, hunting or planting, the output here always surprises people.

Before the Cherokee came here, this was a place controlled by the Poitans, and a very important tribe of the Poitans was here.

It's just that the more powerful Cherokee came. They took the place like robbers, and they beat the Poitans and had to continue to move east. In the end, the Cherokees took over the magpie's nest. , Occupying this large area that originally belonged to the Powatan, Yuchi, Chekasha, Missouri, and Kentucky.

And this triangular plain in the deep mountains was changed to "Monongahela" by the Cherokee.

"This is really a unique place, isn't it?" Standing at the exit of the river valley, looking at the suddenly enlightened plain in front of him, the stone bear was so knowledgeable that he couldn't help but marvel at this place.

You know that this is the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. Although the height of the mountains is not as high as the Great Smoky Mountains to the south, it is really hard to find such a large plain here.

This plain seems to be a masterpiece of God, and the Cherokees are lucky to be the ones who own this land.

"Of course, guardian, our royal court is set up here, plus the four guardian tribes living here, it can be said that no one can break through here. Well, our White City Alliance is to the east, the Red City Alliance It’s to the west, but no matter the area where the Red City Alliance or the White City Alliance is located, it’s far from the area occupied by the Royal Court. After you have met our chief, if nothing happens, you can go to the Red Take a look at the City League." Joe Laklulu said with a smile.

Along the way, the big man brought him too many surprises. Gradually, Joe Laklulu couldn't help but slowly change his opinion of the big man. After five or six days of walking on the road, when they arrived at the Wang Court, Qiao La Krulu and Stone Xiong had become good friends.

"Of course, my esteemed Chief Joe Laklulu, if I can tell our great chief this time, then I will definitely go to the Red City Alliance to take a look."

Because Joe Laklulu changed his view of Stone Bear, he told Stone Bear the reason for his trip to the High Tree Tribe on the way.

In fact, it was nothing, because Chief Junnaruska was afraid of the protests of the Kerry people in the south, so he wanted to bring the "culprit" who killed the Yuchi to the royal court, and then hand it to the Kerry messenger to take away.

This is also impossible. Although the Cherokee are the most powerful tribe in this area, whether it is the Poitans in the east or the Kentucky and Missourians in the west, they have always had a great deal of the Cherokee. Hostility, this is also the main reason why the Cherokees have been allowing the Chekashas to toss in the southwest, instead of killing the Chekashas.

Although the Poitans, Kentucky and Missourians are not as powerful as the Cherokees, if they are united, they can break their wrists with the Cherokees, so the Cherokees cannot relax against these three. Tribal defense.

Although the Cree people live in the southern part of the Great Smoky Mountains, that is, the later generations of Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina ~lightnovelpub.net~ The strength of the Cree people is really very powerful. In fact, even Florida, further south, is considered the traditional sphere of influence of the Kerry people. If the Cherokee didn't forcefully drove the Yuchi to the south of the Great Smoky Mountains, then the central and eastern parts of Tennessee and the western part of North Carolina would also belong to the Cree.

Strictly speaking, the strength of the Cree is even greater than the strength of the Cherokee.

If it weren’t for the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Cree and Spaniards had been contradicting each other, as early as the Cherokee drove out the Yuchi, the Cree would send troops to find the Cherokee’s trouble.

The Cherokee also understood that they should not easily provoke the Cree, otherwise there would be Cree to the south, Poitan and Kentucky to the east and west, and the Cherokee’s life would be really difficult.

Even being driven away by these tribes together again is a high probability.

So since the Cherokee moved south to Monongahela, the Cherokee and the Cree have unanimously exercised restraint. The two powerful tribes have also been in peace for more than two hundred years.

But now, this restraint was completely broken by Shi Xiong.

Stone Xiong not only slaughtered more than a thousand Yu Chi people, but also slaughtered the two chiefs of Yu Chi people in more than a month, and even set the court of Yu Chi on fire.

Although this is a matter of the Yuchi people, the Yuchi people are a branch of the Kerry people. My little brother was so miserably bullied by the Cherokee, as the boss of Cree, of course he quit.

Thus, the messenger of the Kerry came to Monongahela with anger. And Chief Junnaruska, who didn't want to make things worse, naturally wanted to dedicate the instigator to calm the anger of the Kree people.

Although this is a bit of a shame, compared to the overall situation, it is irrelevant...
