- Everyone, hurry up and stop looking around!
A blond woman with blue eyes was pushed by a man wearing a green vest and shorts. Behind this woman, there were many people with dejected looks like her.
There is no suspense about Zhao Hongyu and his group¡¯s surprise attack.
The British, who were completely defenseless, were defeated by Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Those who came to the American continent on the Mayflower to find their new hope and happiness in life became prisoners of Zhao Hongyu.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? They didn't know how these weirdly dressed 'indigenous' people would treat them.
Is it eaten?
Or kill them and sacrifice them?
In short, these British prisoners used their imaginations as much as possible to fill in the pictures.
There are records in the Spanish travel notes that the indigenous people on the American continent like to capture prisoners, kill them and sacrifice them to worship the sun god.
These stories were widely circulated on the European continent and made everyone aware of the savagery of the Native Americans.
¡°Perhaps due to their limited knowledge, they simply did not know that those recorded in the Spanish travel notes were all Incas from Central and South America, not Indians from North America.
In this raid, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not lose any manpower. Although some people were injured, compared to the previous battle, Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied.
After more than an hour, the team escorting the prisoners returned to the camp.
Zhao Hongyu sent people to get wooden shin shackles from the Mohican tribe. This kind of shackle is made of a long piece of wood, about ten meters long.
A hole was dug out in the center of the wood, and a rope made of plant vines was inserted into it as a tool to fix the neck.
Such a shackle can tie up fifteen prisoners. They were all fixed to a piece of wood, and their necks and hands could not move. It was impossible to escape.
Because they can't use force, they can only obey the mercy.
After the Mohawk shackles were delivered, Song Hu led his men to shackle the British prisoners.
Black Bear, who personally escorted the pillory to Manhattan Island, looked at the decadent-looking British guys with a smile and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Haha, I know you are not simple, brother. I didn't expect you to catch so many white men this time."
Standing beside the black bear, Zhao Hongyu looked at the prisoners with twinkling eyes and smiled bitterly: "I have lost a lot of soldiers, and these white-skinned warriors are still very powerful. After this contact, I found that our My strength is still a little weak, so now I have to accumulate strength."
Black Bear and the others have had small-scale conflicts with white people from time to time in recent years. Of course, he is very clear about the fighting power of white people, so he knows that what Zhao Hongyu said is true.
Nodding, Black Bear said: "They are wearing iron armor, and they also have matchlock guns. They also have iron weapons that are more sophisticated than us. We are very disadvantaged in this aspect."
How could a black bear who had suffered losses in battles with white men not understand these principles?
¡°Brother, are these white people going to cause big trouble?¡±
Black Bear's mind changed and he thought of another question.
In Black Bear¡¯s view, Zhao Hongyu caught so many white people. If the white people in Virginia knew about it, the white people over there would definitely come to cause trouble.
Zhao Hongyu is not from the Mohican tribe, and those elders will definitely not stand up for Zhao Hongyu. Zhao Hongyu's current strength is still very small, and it is not realistic to fight against those white people.
Therefore, the black bear couldn't help but become worried.
"Don't worry about this problem, these white people are not from Virginia. They just came to us from the other side of the ocean on sea ships, and no one will stand up for them."
Zhao Hongyu felt very confident, and he was not worried about any trouble at all.
Although Zhao Hongyu said this, Black Bear was still worried. "Brother, be careful. Let me tell you, these white people are of no use, so it's better to kill them all." The black bear's eyes revealed a strong murderous intent.
Kill?
¡°There were carpenters, farmers, and a few sailors among these people. It would be a pity to kill them like this.
After hearing what Black Bear said, Zhao Hongyu shook his head.
¡°It¡¯s still useful for the time being, I just guarantee they won¡¯t cause any trouble.¡±
Zhao Hongyu said this is not unreasonable. Basically all the men in this group of British people were killed. And the captives?Most of the people are women and children, who have little fighting ability.
"And some men who were lucky enough not to die were only a dozen or less than twenty.
So, they can¡¯t afford to make any big waves.
Although these people are of little use, considering their ability to work, Zhao Hongyu still feels that they can stay.
¡°At the very least, let those women do dangerous things like logging.
Zhao Hongyu would not be so kind and leave them to eat and waste food. Now that you are his prisoner, you have to work.
He has now understood very clearly that if he wants to rise on this land, there must be a very dark process.
¡°Anyway, white people in history sold black slaves to make a fortune. Wasn¡¯t the accumulation of wealth also based on numerous bones? In this case, Zhao Hongyu made white people slaves and used their blood and tears to achieve his rise, so why not?
"Well, since you said so, brother, I won't go on about it anymore." Zhao Hongyu said that he wanted these prisoners to be useful, and Black Bear stopped persuading him to kill these prisoners.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Hongyu and Black Bear walked towards the tent.
Those poor British prisoners will definitely have to spend the night in the open air tonight.
On a May night on the American continent, the temperature is still a bit cold, but Zhao Hongyu is not worried that they will not be able to withstand it. After all, in this era of European continent, many European ladies still live in houses made of stones, with air leakage everywhere, and the roofs are just covered with straw.
Living in that kind of house is actually no different from living outside.
¡°Besides, they haven¡¯t bathed since they were young, and their bodies are greasy and antifreeze.
"How is the trade with surrounding tribes recently?" Zhao Hongyu and Black Bear chatted about the trade issues of their cooperation. Although Zhao Hongyu now wants to calculate his current losses, Black Bear can't show anything here.
"The trade is going quite smoothly. Iron pots and wooden tableware are already saturated. As you know, a single iron pot and a set of tableware are enough for a family. Buying more will be useless." Black Bear replied explain.
As for the two products of iron pots and wooden tableware, Zhao Hongyu also knows that they will definitely be saturated due to their limitations. The products in his hands as money-making products are actually consumable life products.
An iron pot can be used by one household for a year or even two years without any problem, and the same is true for wooden tableware.
You won¡¯t make much money with this kind of product.
¡° Only daily necessities such as pickled mustard, matches, rice, and Erguotou, which are consumed quickly and are affordable, can make Zhao Hongyu the most money.
Iron weapons and labor protection suits are not as profitable as the above products.
¡°It¡¯s no different from what Zhao Hongyu guessed. As expected, except for mustard, matches, rice and Erguotou, all the commodities in the trade are beginning to become unsaleable.
¡°After all, every family has clothes, iron pots, and weapons. Such things last a long time and are not easily damaged, so of course no one will continue to buy them.
"So, now you mainly transport and trade with surrounding tribes, mustard, matches, Erguotou and rice?" Zhao Hongyu felt that the commodities he purchased should also focus on these four commodities, and he could not squeeze them here. Too many useless items that don¡¯t sell.
Black Bear nodded: "Yes, these four commodities sell the fastest. Basically every day, caravans from Mohawk go out to deliver goods to surrounding tribes. According to your words, demand exceeds supply."
Black Bear¡¯s face was filled with happiness, because with his support, the Mohican tribe began to trade with surrounding tribes.
Although this was agreed by leader Samara, everyone in the Mohican tribe knew that it was mainly because of Black Bear's hard work and persuasion that the matter was successful.
And because of the trade with surrounding tribes, the Mohicans also received great benefits.
The originally poor Mohicans now live in spacious yurts. There¡¯s not enough food to eat at home, so you don¡¯t have to worry about being hungry anymore.
Therefore, the popularity of black bears within the tribe has increased a lot.
Now, as long as you are willing to work for the men and women in the Mohican tribe, you will not have to worry about food and drink every month.
The women all went to the forest to hunt for gold, while the men who could handle weapons joined the trade caravan as guards. The children were taught knowledge by the female geneticists sent by Zhao Hongyu. It can be said that the Mohicans are on the road to happiness
"Okay, I understand. I will adjust the products and try to get the tribe to deliver rice and other products to me. It would be better if there are fewer iron pots, weapons, and wooden tableware."
Throughout the Mohican tribe, everyone has something to do. There is no idle person at all, they are all working hard for their own happy life.
Of course, those elders will not go to work. It can be said that their daily life is to dry eggs.
"Brother, if possible, can you contact your tribe to try to get some new products? Our tribesmen in the Mohican tribe now have a lot of exchanged things on hand through foreign trade. I can¡¯t use it anymore. So I hope I can exchange it for some good products from you, but you have too few products.¡±
He told Black Bear the trade volume during this period, which was considered a trade summary, and finally made a small request.
Yes, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s current products are really single, and the Mohicans, who have sufficient purchasing power, are a little ready to make some moves after they have enough supplies on hand.
The reason is simple. When they find themselves exchanging goods with Zhao Hongyu, they will feel a sense of satisfaction in their hearts. This is like why women in modern society like shopping.
