它位于英属加拿大的边界
It's on the border of British Canada
谁控制了他
and whoever controls it
谁就控制了美国边疆
controls the American frontier.
当200名美军向北移♥动♥
As 200 US troops move north..
特库姆塞用24名战士和一个聪明的进攻方案
...Tecumseh ambushes them with 24 warriors..
伏击了他们
...and a clever attack plan.
特库姆塞军事战略的特征之一
One of the hallmarks of Tecumseh's military strategy
就是不断使敌人认为
was repeatedly making enemies think
他拥有的战士比他实际拥有的更多
he had far more warriors than he actually had.
他这样来回移♥动♥
He moved them around in such a way
制♥造♥噪音，扬起尘土
making noise, kicking up dust
使人觉得他的军队
made it appear that his forces
在数量上远远优于别人
were vastly superior in number.
尽管他在数量上远远落后
Even though he's vastly outnumbered
但特库姆塞获胜了
Tecumseh prevails.
to Fort Detroit itself.
底特律非常重要
Detroit's pretty important because it's the gateway
因为它是通往上加拿大的门户
to what's called Upper Canada.
基本上就是我们今天所说的安大略
Basically the area we know as Ontario today.
底特律是五大湖区的行政中心
Detroit was the administrative center of The Great Lakes.
因此，这是整个美国西部的控制中心
So, the control center for the entire American west.
到了1812年，特库塞姆是一个横跨边疆的传奇
By 1812, Tecumseh is a legend across the frontier.
由于害怕他的名声
And terrified by his reputation
驻守在堡垒里的士兵不战而降
the soldiers manning the fort give up without a fight.
因为在底特律的美国指挥官相当无能
Because the American commander at Detroit was grossly incompetent
特库姆塞和他的英国盟友
Tecumseh and his British allies
攻占了美国在底特律的要塞
were able to take the American fort at Detroit
不费一枪一弹
without firing a single shot.
随着美国的投降
With the American surrender
英国人现在控制了在边境最重要的堡垒
the British now control the most important fort on the frontier.
在经历了美国的暴♥力♥扩张时期之后
After a lifetime of violence under US expansion..
这是特库姆塞复仇的机会
...this is Tecumseh's chance for revenge.
求你了
Please.
把这些人当作战俘
特库姆塞不仅致力于肖尼战士的理想
Tecumseh was dedicated not only to the ideal of the Shawnee warrior
也致力于他自己的道德标准
but to his own standard of morality.
特库姆塞的选择不仅仅是一种仁慈
Tecumseh's choice is more than an act of mercy.
这是一项战略性的外交行动
It's a strategic act of diplomacy.
特库姆塞明白
Tecumseh understood
他实际上是在进行一场防御战争
that he was essentially fighting a defensive war
以对抗美国的扩张主义势力
against the forces of United States' expansionism.
他不想把战争推向残暴和野蛮的深渊
He did not want to push the war to the depths of barbarity and savagery
否则他以后就不可能与美国谈判
that would have made it impossible for him to negotiate at a later time with the United States.
在底特律堡战败后
With the defeat at Fort Detroit..
英国宣称密歇根的领土属于王室
...Britain claims the Michigan territory for the crown
并巩固了他们与特库姆塞的泛印第安民族的联盟
and cements their alliance with Tecumseh's Pan-Indian nation..
这一消息令美国政♥府♥警觉
...news that alarms the US Government
并威胁到这个年轻国家的未来
and threatens the young country's future.
下集的美国商业大亨传奇：拓荒者
Next time on "The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen.."
在田纳西州，一个名为安德鲁·杰克逊的年轻将军
...in Tennessee, a young general named Andrew Jackson..
发誓不惜任何代价
...vows to stop Britain and her allies
阻止英国及其盟友
at any cost.
加把劲，伙计
Come on, men!
安德鲁·杰克逊经常被认为是
Andrew Jackson was often thought of as the second coming
乔治·华盛顿的再生
of George Washington.
乔治·华盛顿为美国赢得了独♥立♥
George Washington wins independence for the United States
安德鲁·杰克逊捍卫了美国的独♥立♥
Andrew Jackson defends independence for the United States.
开火
Fire!
他与著名的拓荒者大卫·克洛科特并肩作战
He fights with famed frontiersman, Davy Crockett.
大卫·克洛科特在美国边疆的概念中占有重要地位
David Crockett looms huge in the notion of what the American frontier was.
他成为了可能性的象征
He became a symbol of possibility.
合众国的命运
The fate of the United States
依靠着新一代的拓荒者
depends on this new generation of frontiersmen.
