More than a thousand indigenous men, some turned and fled, some knelt down and worshiped.
Longnuo: the incarnation of natural forces, the god of agriculture and harvest, the god exiled by the gods.
Myth prophecy: Long Nuo, the god of exile, will one day lead the soldiers of the Kingdom of God to return to the island in a big ship.
Captain Cook in history was regarded as Long Nuo by the natives. This deity represents the forces of nature and has long been banished by the gods. Therefore, on the day of the Harvest Festival, we should not only thank Long Nuo's natural force for bringing food, but also beg Long Nuo's body not to return to the island.
Captain Cook's arrival at the Harvest Festival frightened the natives on the island, so they could only eat and drink as offerings, praying for the god of exile to go away quickly.
Unexpectedly, Captain Cook returned to Hawaii to repair the ship after leaving for more than a month.
what does this mean?
We must send him away!
Because according to the legend, Long Nuo was exiled because he wanted to fight for the position of God King and failed in the battle. At the same time, he also represented the secular chiefs who were exiled. For the chief who is in power, the return of Long Nuo also implies that the chief should be replaced.
So is it possible to speculate that, long, long ago, the ancestors of the Hawaiians came to live here by boat. There was an ancestor named Long Nuo, who mastered farming techniques and had a very high prestige, and even wanted to compete for the position of leader. Because of the failure to seize the throne, Long Nuo took the remnant and left by boat.
The story is told from generation to generation, and Long Nuo became the god of nature, the god of harvest and the god of exile.
According to this understanding, the original leader of the Hawaiians should be a man named Kani. Because in mythology, Kani is the ancestor god, the ancestor of all men, and the god of the sun, forest and fresh water.
And it was a man named Ku who fought with Long Nuo for power. Library: God of War, Chief Protector, God of Fishing, God of Handicrafts
To sum up, the first generation leader Carney died, and the ancestors began to re-elect the leader. Ku, who was in charge of fisheries and handicrafts, and Long Nuo, who was in charge of agriculture, fought for power. Ku finally won, and gathered military power to become the God of War.
Anyway, in the myths and legends, Long Nuo must never return, once he returns, disasters will come.
After fleeing for a while, Papu, the chief of Maui, suddenly picked up his weapon and turned around, shouting loudly: "Ku God bless, follow me to expel Longnuo!"
Anyone can escape, anyone can surrender, but the chief must be hard steel. Ku is the chief's patron saint, while Long Nuo is Ku's sworn enemy. If the chief wants to keep his power, he must expel Long Nuo!
"God Ku bless, God Ku bless!" Papp continued to shout, trying to gather the rout.
The high priest suddenly came to Tuo, also afraid that his power would be lost, he raised his scepter and shouted: "God Ku bless you, God Ku bless you!"
The two mages nearby, encouraged by the chief and the high priest, also shouted together. Singers and dancers dance and sing while beating drums. What they sing and dance is war songs and dances.
There were more than 300 indigenous soldiers in front of them, and they regrouped around the chief. With the blessing of singing and dancing, they boosted their morale, raised their weapons and rushed forward.
At this moment, more than a hundred Chinese soldiers have landed, and they quickly formed formations on the beach and raised their guns.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
There was a burst of gunfire, and more than 20 indigenous people fell down.
The aborigines near the deceased were stunned, stopped charging in fright, and shouted in panic: "It's really Long Nuo, he has returned with the soldiers of the Kingdom of God!"
Chinese soldiers continued to go ashore, raising their flintlock guns and shooting freely. Some people were still on the boat, and before jumping off, they raised their guns and aimed to fire.
More and more aborigines fell down, about thirty or forty people died, and these aborigines finally collapsed again. None of the war dances and war songs would work. The native soldiers were afraid of muskets, and even more afraid of Long Nuo who brought back the soldiers from the Kingdom of God.
This is Long Nuo, and it needs the cooperation of the gods to exile him.
The Hawaiian awe of Long Nuo comes from hundreds of years of religious brainwashing.
Historically, after the unification of the Hawaiian Islands, the first king was able to collect taxes with the help of Long Nuo's reputation. The king asked the people of the islands to offer food on the day of the Harvest Festival.
It's taxed.
The high priest suddenly came and told him that he was old, he couldn't even run if he wanted to, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Chief Papp looked at the completely disintegrated soldiers, looked up to the sky and said, "Has God Ku abandoned me?"
As a chief, Papp fears the gods, but at the same time does not believe that there really are gods. But today, the myth and prophecy came true, Long Nuo really drove theAfter half an hour, their family members finally approached.
Li Quan sent people into the city again, expelled all the residents in the city, and arranged them in families.
"Those who are left by the lottery, go and choose a wife." Li Quan said. The dress of married women on the island is different from that of unmarried women. 75 The soldiers who decided to stay, only selected noble girls, all grinned.
These aborigines, especially the aristocrats, look very much in line with Chinese aesthetics, and it can even be said that the average appearance is very high.
Their facial features have Caucasian features, so that some anthropologists mistakenly regard Hawaiians as Caucasian mixed-race descendants. At the same time, it has the characteristics of East Asians, and the various size data of the skull fossils are extremely similar to those of northerners.
Chinese research has found that the bones of ancestors unearthed at Dawenkou and other Shandong sites are highly similar to those of Hawaiians. Therefore, some people speculate that they are the result of Dongyi people who crossed the sea and mixed with other races.
? From the identification of the y chromosome, they are also close relatives of the Chinese. Take the Indians as an example. If the Indians are distant relatives of the Chinese, then the Hawaiians can definitely be called cousins.
These aboriginal aristocrats, seeing the Chinese picking out their own girls, became happy after being frightened.
Although the status of women is low, there is no custom of offering sacrifices to women here. The nobles speculated that it was the gods who took a fancy to their daughter and wanted to marry her and take her back to the Kingdom of God, which meant that the gods would also leave.
Li Quan ordered dozens of young girls to be brought along, and escorted the captured nobles, and took a boat around the northwest corner of the island to Kahului, the largest port on the later Maui Island.
There are villages and local nobles here.
All the local nobles were expelled, and Li Quan took people to occupy their houses, and
Do not allow local civilians and slaves to leave.
As for what to do with the expelled nobles in the future, the great chief will make arrangements for himself, most likely to allocate a piece of land for them in the mountains.
A lot of living materials were given, and 50 soldiers and seriously ill people stayed behind. Then Li Quan sent the nobles back to the city, supplied a little fresh water and fruit and left.
The chief Papp was confused and asked the high priest: "Long Nuo drove five big ships and left. Why did he leave some soldiers in the north and let those soldiers marry our daughter?"
The high priest suddenly did not answer directly, and asked the chief to escort a few slaves to the temple to hold human sacrifices.
After some psychic communication, Hu Laituo said: "I have already communicated with the Father God, and the Father God told me that God Ku has provoked public anger in the kingdom of heaven and has been expelled by the gods. The gods welcome Longnuo's return. From now on, Long Nuo is the protector of the chieftain. Long Nuo resented us for being rude to him, so he came down to the earth to admonish him. Long Nuo also left behind his own guards from the Kingdom of God, and let these guards intermarry with the daughters of nobles. From now on, he will serve as Long Nuo for generations Guard the island."
"It turns out to be like this." Papp suddenly realized.
