[30] I like to convince people with reason(2/2)
Zhou Li'an calculated the direction given by the Great Elder and the time of coming and going. It took a long time to use the marking function to make 39 location marks on the system coordinate map.
This also means that there are 39 tribes of all sizes under the command of the Modoc Chief, controlling the area south of Oregon and the majority north of California.
The total population exceeds 10,000, but the specific situation of the Great Elder is unknown, so he can only give a rough guess.
No strong enemy dared to compete with him around him.
This number is similar to Zhou Li'an's guess.
At the beginning of the 15th century, the number of Native Americans in North America was more than 1.5 million to 2 million, while at the end of the 15th century it reached about 3.5 million.
Because there is no specific literature to be documented, relevant scholars can only make reverse reasoning based on the strength of each tribe, and then use the records of exchanges left by major races such as the Sioux, Apache, Cherokee and Mohicans as a side reference.
However, it can be confirmed that the number of tribes that have left behind historical records exceeds 1,000, with a population of over 10,000, and a number of small and medium-sized tribes ranging from thousands. Most of them live in the Central Plains, the Great Lakes and Lakes and the Mississippi Plains.
The area where the Modocs are located is the western mountainous area where even most indigenous peoples are unwilling to set foot. It was later called the Plateau Indian Cultural District.
Before the westward movement in the 19th century, the Modocs did not even have much contact with the outside world. When the colonists arrived, they soon died, leaving only a small number of people to survive, and later moved to the reservation.
Therefore, based on the total population of 1.5 million to 2 million, it is already a relatively optimistic figure that the Modoc people in the mountainous areas of the western region can account for 1% of the total population.
Having mastered the surrounding situation, Zhou Li'an planned to return to his residence and continue to teach Chinese pinyin to several children.
When he left, the Great Elder knelt on the ground and gave him respectfully, and on his face, the same redness and fanaticism as last night appeared.
[I thought you were planning to conquer the city and land. When this elder saw that you were looking at the maps of each tribe, his eyes were green, so he was waiting for you to give orders and lead people to kill all directions!]
Zhou Li'an chuckled: "Ha, you know, I have always liked to convince people with reason and will never bully the weak."
[Ah, yes, yes! Send caravans to trade, the white salt causes crime!]
【What do you mean by reason?】
[You are called fishing law enforcement! Let the tribe chief come to him to give away the heads!!]
"Ah? Is that true?"
【hypocritical!】
