Lamour had no objection to Zhao Hongyu's arrangement.
The ocean has never been unfamiliar to Somalis. Most of them rely on the ocean to make a living.
If it weren¡¯t for the war, maybe he would have become an outstanding fisherman like his father.
But now that he has come to this era and has become the leader's subordinate, Lamour must live a good life.
"Okay leader, I will bring those guys out as soon as possible. Although their brains are not very useful, they are very obedient. I guarantee that I can make them qualified warriors."
After finishing speaking, Lamour added: "Well, according to our Somali standards."
There are 200 Somali black men, all of them are very tall and strong. Just looking at them is very intimidating. Their dark skin shines with a unique luster in the sun, and their bulging muscles show their strength to the outside world.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "You will use the matchlock gun for now. I have solved the problem of the flintlock gun. But it will take a little time to get it to you. I hope you can be patient.", he comforted. Lamour. "The only weapons I can equip you with now are cross axes, daggers and machetes."
Strictly speaking, this kind of weapon and equipment configuration is quite good.
After all, this is the continent of North America, not the war-prone European continent or the powerful Chinese continent of this era.
If it is in these two places, these weapons have no advantage at all.
Even in the Middle East, Zhao Hongyu would be a failure.
But it¡¯s different in North America, because all the people living in this area are Indians. They don't know how to make iron weapons, so Zhao Hongyu has an advantage in weapons.
And the Indians learned to make iron tools. It would take more than 100 years to learn it from the Europeans.
After the Indians learned how to use muskets, the Europeans began to use muskets in an organized manner.
Lamour didn¡¯t have much reaction. He said to Zhao Hongyu: "There is nothing wrong with cold weapons. We Somalis are very experienced in using machetes. Even in battles with cold weapons, we can defeat small groups of enemies." Lamour was very confident in what he said.
"After Zhao Hongyu heard this, he thought about it for a while and felt relieved.

On the African continent, warlords are fighting each other and there are many civil wars. Many times Africans don't even have guns, and they even go to the battlefield with a machete.
Therefore, it is not wrong for Lamour to say that they have great experience in using cold weapons.
at the same time. Tribal disputes also occur frequently on the African continent. The most common weapon in tribal disputes is the machete. Then Lamour must have participated in tribal disputes, otherwise he would not have said so.
Although there were animations to watch when cultivating him, it does not mean that every step of Lamuel's growth process will be shown in front of Zhao Hongyu, so Lamour even participated in tribal battles. Zhao Hongyu may not even know.
"Since you said there is no problem, I won't say anything more." Zhao Hongyu nodded: "I will let someone arrange housing for you. You guys have a rest today, and you have to start training tomorrow. "
After saying that, Zhao Hongyu turned his head and said, "Wang Shan, take all these cows and dogs down, and then allocate housing to Lamour and the others. Let them have a good rest."
After Wang Shan responded, he called a few gene people and asked them to drive the cattle and the dogs elsewhere. And he himself took Lamour and a group of old gangsters to allocate rooms to them.
There are many vacant houses in the village now.
The housing problem of just 201 people can definitely be satisfied.
so. Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all.
Now that the manpower is available, although the development process of the weapon is a bit strange, it still has a good result in the end. As long as you save enough money, you can start producing flintlock guns.
By then, with the flintlock rifle, the combat effectiveness of his small group will definitely be greatly improved. Within a hundred miles, his group is the most powerful.
Slowly, the good nature circulated, and half a year later, Zhao Hongyu said that although it was impossible to establish a country, it was still possible to become a lord.
There are not many people in the territory of European country nobles. If Zhao Hongyu can have 10,000 people, why can't he be king?
Thinking about it, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help laughing.
Dividing line
steep and dangerousIn the canyon of the steep Akalachi Mountains, a team of about thirty people is slowly moving forward. This is the trade caravan from Mohican to the Liqi tribe.
There are several caravans like this every day.
Since the Mohican tribe began trading with surrounding tribes, the lives of the Indians in the entire Mohican tribe have undergone earth-shaking changes.
They knew for the first time that it turned out that
My wife can still live like this.
It turns out that you don¡¯t have to hunt every day, risk your life to fight wild beasts, or have conflicts with people from other tribes because of prey, so you can live a life that you couldn¡¯t even imagine in the past.
Bald eagles circled in the sky, and American gazelles jumped on the cliffs, looking for a safe place to stop.
The woodchuck exposed half of its head from the hole and looked at the Mohicans curiously.
This group of Mohicans, each of them was carrying a sack on his body, and there were many small bags hanging on his body. The small bag contained pickled mustard and some wooden dishes, both of which were popular items.
"Everyone, please work hard. Not far away is the headquarters of the Li Ke clan. If we catch up today, we can go home earlier."
The leader of this group of Mohicans is a man with three eagle feathers on his head.
?According to Indian custom, an eagle feather represents that he has killed an enemy. The three eagle feathers on his head indicate that he has killed three enemies.
This is a proof of bravery and courage, which means that he is a brave man.
His words elicited responses from his companions.
"Yes, let's hurry up and exchange these goods so we can go home earlier."
"I also want to go back earlier so that I can have some wine. It would be nice to lie comfortably at home."
"Lazy guy, why don't you help your wife with something? The women in the tribe have changed a lot now. They won't be happy if you don't work."
"They are all women from the Song tribe. She always gives those women half of the world's knowledge. Now the women in the tribe go home and tell the men this."
Within a few words, the floor became crooked.
Everyone talked about the women in the tribe.
"Anyway, it's boring to be on the road. Let's talk to relieve the loneliness and boredom.
The man leading the team looked at his companions with a smile, but he did not participate.
As the team leader, Black Bear once taught him that his duty is to be careful and careful.
He must observe all situations on the road and eliminate possible dangers.
So, when my companions are joking. He couldn't get involved. He is responsible for observing the neighborhood. Is there possible danger?
Although this requirement seems redundant to many people, most people still strictly abide by this order.
Because if they don¡¯t do this, they will be kicked out of the Guards and will never be hired again.
So, a team leader like him. I had to cheer up and act in accordance with the rules.
You know, the rewards given by the escort are very generous.
A matchlock gun, weapons are provided for free, and there are free rice and Erguotou every day. What they have to do is protect traders and at the same time be responsible for detecting dangers.
In particular, matchlock guns are provided free of charge to individuals by tribes, which is very attractive.
The Indians did not know that the matchlock had such shortcomings. In their eyes, the matchlock was a powerful weapon that could make a thunderous sound.
So, the white man can use a matchlock gun. Obtain gun-height furs or other supplies from the Indians.
There is demand and the demand is large, which ensures that white people can plunder the resources of Indians.
In addition, only white people can sell matchlock guns on the American continent, so the Indians have no one to trade with except white people.
Therefore, even if you suffer a loss, there is nothing you can do about it.
In the hearts of many Indians. They all take pride in owning a matchlock gun.
After Zhao Hongyu opened up the trade of matchlock guns, the Mohican tribe immediately purchased 300 matches and distributed them.
The leader of the purchase was Black Bear. The name he used was that the caravan guards needed weapons, and the tribesmen who were doing trade also needed safety guarantees.
In addition, the profits from trade are indeed huge, so Black Bear¡¯s proposal was easily passed.
A total of 300 matchlock guns were ordered from Zhao Hongyu in the name of the Mohican tribe.
Of the 300 matchlock guns, Black Bear's escort was allocated 200. After all, he is responsible for guarding the gold mine and the security of the trade team.
Therefore, he has priority in the distribution of weapons.
For a time, many Mohican warriors broke their heads and wanted to join the escort. For no other reason than because after joining the escort, they could receive a matchlock gun for free.
Of course, the matchlock gun can be given to you for free, but you have to buy things like gunpowder and lead bullets yourself from Zhao Hongyu.
The leader of the team, ¡®An¡¯, raised his hand to gently caress the matchlock gun held on his chest. His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were caressing his lover.
A gust of wind blew through the canyon, blowing up waves of sand.
Suddenly, a lot of gravel rolled down from above, which aroused An's awareness.
"Everyone, stop for a moment!" He raised his left hand to signal the attention of his companions behind him. At the same time, he flattened the matchlock gun in his arms and observed it carefully with his eyes.
