The Indian who was brought in by Li Shi was naturally the Chief Dudu. "Dudu" means osprey in Penoviti.

As soon as he entered the conference room, he first took a few seconds to adapt to the light in the house, and then looked around with curious eyes.

The chief is in his early forties. He has a wide face and a flat nose bridge, a flat face, and a pair of small black eyes that keep spinning. His broad chest and muscular limbs make him look full of explosive power.

It is obvious that his life, which has been running among the mountains, forests and coasts for many years, has made his body quite strong even when he reaches middle age.

Although the battle patterns painted on his face looked ferocious and terrifying, if you look closely, you will find that there is no trace of ferociousness on the weathered face. Instead, it is a kind of peace and a seemingly indifferent calmness, which is also the expression that many Indians often have when they relax their minds.

Dudu soon noticed Ruchi. His lips curled up and nodded at the other party. Ruchi also smiled and nodded to the other party. After that, he turned his gaze to the Spanish mission. Although his expression remained unchanged, his hands on the belt of the shell beads around his waist were raised, and then his arms crossed to his chest, full of hostility.

Li Shi said a penewiti to Dudu, pointing to a black bow chair to ask him to sit down. Dudu nodded and raised his butt and sat down regardless of it. However, as soon as he sat down, he was immediately attracted by the comfortable and soft feeling. He touched the handrail and backrest imitating cowhide with his rough big hands, and had already started to think about it. This thing is pretty good. I wonder how many pieces of leather you have to change one?

"I'll introduce you to you. This is the chief of the Miwauk tribe of the local coast, Osprey." Zhao Xin said after introducing it, "Before answering the Bishop's question, I want to ask Monk Diz a question first."

"Me?" The monk Diz, who was sitting on the side, was stunned for a moment and said with confusion: "What do you want to ask?"

Originally, as a translator, monk Diz should have sat next to the bishop, but Zhao Xin's appearance made communication between the two sides no longer a problem, so the poor monk was marginalized.

Zhao Xin said: "I know you have stayed in Macau for several years and learned a very good Cantonese Mandarin, so I believe you will have a certain understanding of China today."

"Yes, I have learned from the church members and businessmen in Macau. Unfortunately, due to Chinese laws, my colleagues and I have never been able to enter the inland."

"Just like the Spanish Empire is a country composed of Castiles, Catalans, Galicians, Basques and other ethnic groups. Today, China is also a multi-ethnic country composed of many ethnic groups. If you count it carefully, there are sixty. Monk Diz, do you have no objection to what I say?"

Monk Diz thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency is basically right. As for whether your country has sixty ethnic groups, I'm sorry, I really don't know."

Zhao Xin nodded and continued: "One hundred and fifty years ago, in his book "The War of the Tatars", Martino Martini, a Jesuit monk from Italy, collectively referred to the ethnic minorities that invaded China's inland north of the Great Wall as the "Tartars". What I want to tell you is that the so-called "Tartars" are actually composed of multiple ethnic groups, including Manchus, Mongols, Hezhes, Oroqen, Ewenkis, Daurs, and Xibes..."

Listening to Zhao Xinbrabra's long speech, the Spanish people present showed an impatient look on their faces, especially after he finished speaking in French, he had to repeat it in Chinese, which made them feel that the other party's purpose was to delay time and threaten their side to make concessions.

"Mr. Liu, Your Excellency the Bishop questioned why you called the Indians, but you told us what the Tatars were. What exactly did you want to say?"

The person who spoke was Captain Bonavia. Since he was criticized by Zhao Xin just now, no matter how he looked, he felt that this bearded man was disliked.

"Haha~~" Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other party, thinking that this was something you asked for, and then said, "Captain, you are very rude. Didn't anyone tell you that as a loser, you must have the awareness of a loser? When a person loses consciousness, he will easily lose his personality."

Captain Bonavia's face turned blue when he was angry, and his blood was pouring on his forehead. He was ridiculed by Zhao Xin twice in succession, making him no longer care about what occasion it was now. He immediately grabbed the white gloves he had taken off before and raised his hand to throw them on Zhao Xin's face.

In the name of God and the king, I will duel with you!

However, as soon as his right hand was raised, a big hand suddenly came to his side and pressed it down. When Bonavia saw that it was California Governor De Ali Laga.

"Please pay attention to your identity and mission." De Alilaga squeezed out a sentence from his teeth and reminded his colleagues around him. Then he said to Zhao Xin: "Your Excellency, I want to remind you that today we are negotiating on the San Francisco issue, not the Tatars. I ask you to return to the topic immediately."

"No problem, Mr. De Alilaga. But am I not answering the previous questions of His Excellency the Bishop?"

Archbishop Peralta quickly answered: "Mr. Liu, thank you for popularizing the nation and history of your country to me and the mission. But this has nothing to do with my previous problems."

"No, Your Excellency Bishop, this is very relevant!" Zhao Xin turned his head and glanced at Chief Dudu with a calm face, then glanced at the Spanish delegation and said strongly: "The reason I say so much is because the local Miwauk and Aolong natives are the descendants of Manchus who you call the "Tartars"! Therefore, our coming here this time is at the request of our expatriates to save our compatriots and people from water and fire."

As soon as this statement was made, the Spaniards opposite were collectively uproar. Especially Archbishop Peralta and Monk Diz were even more shocked. They looked at Dudu, who was painted like a flower melon, and thought to themselves how could it be possible!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! On the other side of the long table, when Zhao Xin finished speaking his statement in Chinese, except for Ruqi and Li Shi who had predicted in advance, several officers were also stunned, and then turned to look at Chief Dudu.

Dudu was also uncomfortable with so many gazes falling on him at the same time, but the patterns on his face covered up his anxiety very well.

Well, there has always been a saying in another time and space that the Indians were descendants of the Shang Dynasty. All this originated from the conjecture of an American scholar in the 1960s, and was later proved by some Chinese scholars from language, customs, and even using only 8% of the "Q-type Y chromosomes" of some Henan people to try their best to prove it.

However, not all milk is called Telunsu, and not all yellow skin, dark hair and dark eyes are descendants of Henan people.

With the rise of molecular anthropology in the 1990s, researchers discovered that the first immigrants from the American continent came to the Americas about 25,000 to 10,000 years ago, forming the mainstream of Indians today. In terms of genetic markers, they all originated from an ancestor M45; about 40,000 years ago, a boy was born in Central Asia, and he carried M45.

To be honest, the only one who has a relationship with Northeast Asia was the second group of immigrants carrying C3 gene markers 10,000 years ago. They set off from Siberia and arrived in the Americas through the Bering Strait. They were mainly distributed in the west coast area of ​​the northern North American continent and never appeared in South America.

The most common people with Y chromosome haplogroup C3 in Northeast Asia are the Tungus ethnic group, such as Manchus, Daur, Hezhe, Oroqen, Ewenk, and Feiyaka.

So in this sense, Zhao Xin said that Miwak people have a relationship with Manchus, which is really nothing wrong. As for why he only emphasized Manchus rather than other ethnic groups, it is because the cultural characteristics of Manchus outside the pass in this era are the most obvious. Other ethnic groups have basically been assimilated, and everyone has a common language, writing and religion.

In other words, even if a history is fabricated, it can only be compiled in Manchu.

At this moment, the air in the conference room seemed to have solidified and became audible. In addition to the shouts from the training ground outside, there was also the sound of Zhao Xin's gurgling drinking water.

"It's simply ridiculous! Isn't it ridiculous for you to fabricate such a statement?" The speaker was De Ali Laga. As the governor of Upper California appointed by the provincial governor, Beihai Town occupied Kinmen, and he was the one who was most affected.

He could imagine that the Chinese said they had something to do with the Miwauker Indians today, and they would be said to do with the Orons tomorrow; then they were the Windons, the Maidus, the Yokuts, the Chins, and the Shawshauni.

This is too much!

Zhao Xin knew that the Spaniard would react like this, so he turned to look at Li Shi, so the other party got up again and walked to the door, pushed the door open and said to the outside, "You two, come in!"

"Yes!" As soon as the words were finished, two soldiers wearing North Navy training uniforms walked in and stood at the door.

Zhao Xin raised his hand to signal the two soldiers to the Spanish delegation, saying, "One of these two soldiers is the Manchus I just mentioned, and the other is the Miwauker. Now they stand here without talking. Can you tell which one is the Miwauker?"

The Spaniards here looked closely and saw that the two soldiers had similar figures, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing the same green military cap on their heads, the same style of clothes and pants, and even the same shoes. Looking at the facial features, they both had a wide round face, straight nose bridge, big eyes, deep eye sockets, and thick eyebrows.

How to tell? The two of them came from the same mold, saying that they were brothers and people believed them.

“Hahahaha~~”

Suddenly, the Spanish delegation burst into laughter, and then De Alilaga shook his head and said to Zhao Xin: "Your Excellency's evidence is really ridiculous! As you say, the Pyrenees is the dividing line between our country and France, and it is difficult for the residents on both sides of the mountain to stand together. It is impossible to say that France's territory belongs to our country, right?"

Zhao Xin's expression remained unchanged and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you can beat the French."

De Ali Laga: "..."

Zhao Xin said again: "Li Shi, please Chief Dudu say a few words of Manchu, so as not to let others say we are unreasonable."

When Li Shi heard this, he nodded to Dudu beside him for a moment. Dudu, who had not spoken for a long time, slowly stood up and said a few words that made the Spaniards present extremely unfamiliar.

"bi manju inu.bi oqi dulimbai gurun inu." Although just a few words, Li Shi taught Dudu for more than an hour yesterday, and he had to memorize it dozens of times when he woke up this morning.

Monk Diz blinked and asked anxiously: "What was he talking about?"

Zhao Xin said word by word: "He spoke Manchu, which means I am a Manchu and I am a Chinese."

After saying that, he took two agreements written in Chinese and French from Ruchi's hand, showed them to the Spanish mission opposite, and explained: "This document is the formal agreement signed by us and the Miwauk tribe. Chief Dudu, on behalf of all the Miwauk people on the coast, agreed to hand over the Kinmen area and its surrounding areas - what you call San Francisco to Santa Cruze, and extend eastward to the Sierra Nevada to us for management."

By the way, the word "Nevada" comes from Spanish, meaning it is covered with snow.

At this time, everyone in the Spanish mission understood that the bearded Chinese had already prepared this set of rhetoric and quoted the scriptures from the beginning, with the purpose of showing the rationality of their occupation of San Francisco. As long as this line is established, they can always stay in North America and even gradually erode the empire's colonies in North America.

Speaking of which, after Zhao Xin decided to come to Kinmen to participate in the negotiations, he spent a few days reading a large amount of international law materials about this era. After thinking about it, he finally decided to find a different approach and create a set of theoretical tools based on blood ties and expatriates.

This is what Chinese traditional culture says, one has the same origin, one has the same clan, and all the worlds are brothers!

Zhao Xin knew very well that by the end of the 18th century, the American continent had been basically divided up by colonists from various European countries. If Beihai Town, as a later generation, wanted to gain a foothold in this land, in addition to military strength, theoretical and legal tools, it would also have to keep up.

With this set of tools, Beihai Town can really treat the Pacific Ocean as a bathtub in the future. Of course, it is still just a prototype at present, and a large number of scholars need to enrich their blood vessels and bones to continuously improve them so that they can compete with the European theory of international law.

Don’t think that Europeans rely on crosses and guns to colonize the whole world. During the "Great Geographic Discovery" process in the 15th and 17th centuries, four theories were invented and became the theoretical tools of international law for Western colonial empires to rob the whole world, namely "discovery theory", "bored land theory", "bored territory theory" and "priority theory".

The first is the "discovery theory". It also means that whoever discovers it belongs to whom it is, completely denying the factual possession of the indigenous people, and forcibly seizing land and natural resources that do not belong to it for themselves.

This theory was first proposed by Spain and Portugal, and was recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. It was confirmed by the Pope's edict in 1493, and a geographical term, the Pope's Meridian, was born.

The second is the "boriginal land theory". It means that no one lives on the land, so the colonists buy a piece of land with the indigenous people and then declare sovereignty. The principle applies to land that has not yet been "effectively occupied" by other countries.

Maybe someone may ask what is no one? What is effective possession? As long as the indigenous people on a certain piece of land can be completely eliminated, it is no one. If anyone around you is dissatisfied, try it.

This statement was born because Spain and Portugal tried to divide the world and dominate the ocean with the Pope's edict. The question was that the British, as the rising star of the Age of Discovery, could not agree, so they created a set of theories to deny the "discovery theory" and eliminate the theoretical obstacles to competing with the colonies of Spain and Portugal.

In 1577, Drake ignored the cross placed by Magellan, who served in Spain, and occupied southern Chile in the name of Queen Elizabeth. By 1588, as Britain defeated the Spanish Invincible Armada and established maritime hegemony, the British even blatantly competed for territory with the Spanish. The "Virginia Company" was founded under this situation.

The third is the "bored territory theory". This set of rhetoric was derived from the "bored territory theory". The reason was that the colonial empire could no longer define colonies as "de factobored territory", so it proposed the "legal unbroken territory", that is, it did not recognize the laws of indigenous society, and became a global law with European domestic law and international law, depriving the other party of land property rights.

This is what Americans most often say in another time and space, the source of "international rules based on order" is the logic of "cultural hierarchy theory", that is, "backwardness and beating".

The last one is the "priority theory". This was also created by the British, that is, partially acknowledging the factual and legal possession of the land by the indigenous people, but denying their right to dispose of arbitrary.

After the Seven Years War, Britain completely drove France out of North America, so King George III of England promulgated the most important legal document in British colonial history - the Royal Announcement of 1763, explaining that the British king enjoyed "priority" over the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, a branch of the Appalachian Mountains, that is, the indigenous people could only sell land to the British king or the colonial government, and no other country or individual had the right to acquire it.

I admit that your property is yours, but I have to decide what to do. Does it sound familiar? Tip, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

No matter which of the above is a game for powerful people, and the indigenous people have no right to participate. Anyway, as long as the fist is not as big as me, I can play whatever I want.

Well, the reality of Upper California is that Beihai Town has the largest fist, and the provincial Western Military Region Command can't beat it even if it exhausts all its strength. Although Governor De Alila California strongly suggests to the Governor to mobilize troops from other military regions to form a larger force, the black uprising in Haiti and the war in Europe have already involved most of the manpower and material resources of the local and provincial governments, and the Governor can only temporarily admit defeat by pinching his nose.

How should this set of rhetoric be refuted? The Archbishop looked at monk Rasun and monk Diz.

Come on! One of you is the chairman of the California Missionary Group and knows the most about indigenous culture; the other has been in Macau for many years and has learned a lot of Chinese culture.

Oh, this is hard to ruin monk Rasuen. Although the missionary group he was in charge had gone deep into various tribes in California and also recorded his cultural customs and languages, he had no idea about Northeast Asian civilization. What did he say?
