Even Colbert, who had been with him since the king had not yet taken power to the present day, could not understand how Louis XIV was so kind to these barbarians. The reason why he solemnly asked his sons-in-law, subordinates and friends to recover the funds bet on the slave trade was because the king wanted him to do so. The king did not like the slave trade, so he did so.

This is almost the case for most of the French. The Sun King's prestige has reached an unattainable level. Even if the king wants them to die, they will. Even if Louis XIV did not issue an order and declare the slave trade illegal, they gradually restrained their trade or stopped buying red-skinned slaves.

You should know that in the slave trade, the white people did go to "hunter" in person at first, but no matter how advanced their weapons were, some people would always lose them. So some smart people came up with a good idea - that is, to use the conflict between tribes, they used cheap glass beads, eliminated swords, and inferior cloth to gain the trust of some tribe leaders, and then told them that prisoners of war who would have been executed in the past could be given to them in exchange for supplies and weapons.

Later, they would even take the initiative to provoke conflicts between this tribe and that tribe, blood, death and pain, which made them invisible or inaudible. Even if they could hear and see, it didn't matter. They were like vultures, waiting on the edge of the battlefield. Once the battle ended, a large number of reserve slaves were escorted to them.

If the French continued the slave trade, then the struggle between Indian tribes on the New World would not end, which was a hindrance to Louis XIV's plan, so almost all those who could see the king's wishes were left alone. Even if someone was blinded by the king's envoy and the governor of Montreal, they were executed on the charge of treason. All the wealth they accumulated was returned to the king. Ironically, the king used the money to build the New World, which was equivalent to the Indians who had been sucked by them and were nourished by them.

But these things came several years later, just like how the British could not wait to take over the slave trade abandoned by the French - let's put it aside for now. After the banquet, the two Indians from Montreal and Jamestown were received by the king again.

The king met them in the small hall next to the Bucks Hall. The Bucks Hall was used for banquets, with magnificent decoration and furnishings, but not as upright and solemn as other halls, and the atmosphere was lighter. The small hall next to it was used for preparing dishes and handling the removed bowls and plates. Sometimes it was also used as a lounge. There were two or three beautiful sets of Baroque furniture, with complex carvings, gilding, and mother-of-pearls completely different from the simple style common to the Indians. "Cow Horns" walked around the room curiously, constantly touching the lifelike statues, "They looked like they were alive." He said to Rolf happily.

"Sit down, horns," Rolf said: "White-skinned people care about their property and etiquette."

"Nuo Kettle" sat down. Unlike Rolf, his tribe was still a little unfamiliar with the private ownership system - they might be wary of white-skinned people taking away their holy mountains and rivers, and the soldiers would treat their weapons and horses cautiously, but their possessiveness was not so strong. Sometimes when facing a new friend, they would generously give out their favorite things.

If a warrior gets furious just because someone touches his chair, box or tent, he will be ridiculed by everyone.

But Rolf is different.

The original Rolf, the British man who married the daughter of the tribe chief, was not a bad person, and he could even be called open-minded. But he was a white-skinned man and a Protestant, and he had to be restricted by his superiors and companions. Before him, were there immigrants who married Indians? There were, but once these people were discovered, they would be tied to horses and dragged to death.

In London newspapers, the indigenous people of the New World have always been described as beasts and demons. People with hearts often prove that they would plunder white women to inspire hatred for them, and to show the correctness of slave trade, massacre and spreading plagues. People who read the newspapers are naturally excited, but they do not know that the mixed-race children who are used as evidence come from either good deeds or sins. Indians will accommodate children and women who are wandering away, and sometimes men will be accepted after being tested. They grew up in tribes and are naturally part of the tribes and will marry and have children. As for sin, those evil people who claim to be noble do not mind looking for happiness in their slaves or even "livestock"...

There were such people and reports in France before, but after Louis XIV expressed his disgust, this situation rarely occurred - it just cannot be extinct. After all, the king's energy is mostly still on the battlefield. Fortunately, the newspapers and publications that have always been controlled by Louis XIV and the Duke of Orleans, the king's flag and trumpet will never go against His Majesty.

Speaking of which, although the British man Rolf had accumulated a lot of wealth by growing tobacco, his life must have been difficult. His morality and conscience always motivated him to tell the truth to the Indians, and his faith and the threats behind him were constantly stopping him. Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that he had several children with the chief's daughter. He took them out of the tribe and allowed them to take root and grow in Virginia, but he also left his son with his education in the tribe.

He instructed the tribe's chief—who was already his father-in-law's younger brother to take on this important position—to say that his name must be passed on, rather than looking at the sky, the earth and the animals like the Indians, and also to keep the youngest son in touch with his family, even at the worst.

This instructed saved their tribe.

Rolf married the daughter of the Indian chief in 14 years. The peace lasted only eight years. In 22 years, because the British moved into a large number of immigrants, they needed more land, more corn, and more bison. Their demands were like black holes in the deep sea, and they never saw the bottom. This undoubtedly angered the Indians, and they went to war with the British.

The war lasted until 46 years. Even if Rolf's tribe united the surrounding tribes, they still ended up falling apart. Rolf's father-in-law's younger brother was killed on the battlefield, and his tribe was forced to migrate and exile. Fortunately, they still had the life left by the British Rolf. Rolf's brothers and nephews managed to hide them so that they could survive until today.

Until today, Rolf is still tirelessly seeking opportunities for alliances and negotiations - with other Indians, he clearly saw that if the Indians no longer unite you closely, they would only be defeated by white-skinned people, but this is really difficult. The hatred accumulated between tribes and tribes over the past thousand years was enough to blind the eyes of chiefs and priests; or there were clear and keen leaders willing to negotiate with him, but they had to stop because of sudden attacks, plagues or bad weather; and even tribes bought by the British wanted to strip their scalp and sell them for a good price.

What made him feel most ridiculous and funny was that just when he was about to despair, the turn of opportunity came.

It was not the turning point that the Indians had won for themselves, but the turning point that caused by the hatred between white-skinned people.

The French drove the British away.

They are all white-skinned people, and believe in God, and they also need this land. So what is the difference between them and their previous enemies? It seems like a strong old man driving away a greedy hyena, which is not good news for the Indians, but soon, the "horns" - they met because Rolf always tried his best to find any possible friend, and Rolf's brothers and nephews, all brought the French kindness to Rolf.

Rolf didn't know whether he should trust the French, but in his conversation with "Niuke", he couldn't help but feel a little extravagant. Maybe...

The Indian thoughts were interrupted by the clarinet of the sermon, which declared the king's empire. The king took his youngest son, Auguste, who was canonized as Duke of Montreal when he was in his infancy. He was still a child. He was more like Madame Montespan than the king, a little too delicate. Louis XIV simply performed a "sling" ceremony for the Indians before they arrived in Paris, and replaced his small skirt with tights to avoid ridiculous misunderstandings.

However, when he saw this child, "Niujiao" and Rolf were still shocked.

"Today you come and receive this guest for me." Louis said to August. When the young duke heard this, he immediately raised his chest. Like all children of this age, he was very happy to be treated as a useful person and shoulder his duties. He politely invited the "oxhorn" to see his horse, a golden horse from Ottoman Turkey, which was sent as ransom. This horse was produced in Turkmenistan. Its most famous feature is that its fur shines like gold wire, with infinite endurance and amazing speed.

If it were anything else, "Niu Ke" might hesitate, but when it comes to horses, he simply can't refuse.

"It's really enviable to be such a simple person, right?" Louis said.

Rolf turned his head, he didn't know whether he should bow to the king, and finally he bent over inappropriately and sat embarrassedly in the king's laughter.

"'Nuo Kettle' is a brave warrior. He likes horses very much because horses are our other life," Rolf said.

"It's true for warriors." Louis said softly, "You are also a warrior."

“I should not be able to compare with ‘Hornets’,” Rolf said. “Maybe it’s because of my blood, or because of the education I have received, I often feel that I am outside everyone, I am not an Indian or a British, I have nowhere to go and I can’t let go of everything around me.”

"You have been very tired in the past few years."

Rolf was not sure if he was ridiculed. He was not a "magic horn". The lesson the British taught him was that they should drive all these white-skinned outsiders out, but he also knew that he could not do it. Perhaps all Indians could not do it. There were thousands of warriors and thunderous weapons, which could even be seen.

"So do you know why you are so different from 'Koll'?" asked Louis. "No, not only in strength and thought, but also in your attitude towards white-skinned people. Obviously, he is more gentle and more looking forward to his union with us, but you are worried and worried."

"We are scared," Rolf said. "You are white, too." He looked up. "And you need to eat and drink water, and you have many," he looked outside. "You have a thousand, a thousand, and they all say that your soldiers are as much sand as the river."

Louis smiled. He now wants to thank Louis XIII and Bishop Richelieu for not caring about the New World.

The first people who saw and conquered the New World were the Spanish and Portuguese, and then the French and British, but they were not seeking the same thing. The Spanish sought gold, and the Portuguese were the same. The French were keen on fur and wood business. Because the total population of France was not so optimistic, the kings did not intend to exile criminals to the New World. France did not have many immigrants, and most of them were soldiers, adventurers and merchants. Even if the first two would conflict with the Indians, it would not cause great disasters. Merchants, no merchant would care that the transaction was a dog or a devout believer.

But the British are the most different.

The four British islands - no matter how big it is, the islands are islands, which are destined to lack cultivated land and residence. Since the end of the fifteenth century, British lords and gentry discovered that grazing sheep could obtain faster and more abundant income than farming, they began to circle public land and private land with fences and transform them into pastures and farms. At this time, half of the land in Britain was pastures, and farmers could not even preserve their own small pieces of cultivated land. The nobles always had a way to get them into their hands.

What's more, in order for the bankrupt farmers to not flow into the city in large numbers and cause unrest, the king and Congress also issued a decree to force them to agree to be hired by farmers and factories at an extremely low price. If they don't want to, they will be regarded as potential criminals, arrested and sent to hard labor or to jail.

The farmers who have no fields and are still ruthlessly exploited, as mentioned before, in order to survive, they have to drag their children to migrate to the New World, and there is a cliff behind them. It is not a wonder that these lambs have become jackals. They dare not fight against the men, but they can aim their flails and axes at the benefactors who accept and help them.

Unlike the Spanish, Portuguese, and French, the British and Indians were destined to die.

Rolf was right, France also needed a new continent, but it was a long time since the French local forces moved there. Perhaps before the Duke of Montreal became an adult, the number of French immigrants was still not that considerable. So, in order to compete with the British, don't think that the Duke of York would continue to have a covenant with Louis XIV after he ascended the throne. He must have gone back on his word.
