    Their corpses were scattered on the ground. Some Indians with bald temples and only a strand of hair on their heads were turning over the Mohicans' corpses and loading them with goods that the Mohicans originally planned to trade with other tribes.  into the bag behind his back.

    Occasionally, some Mohicans who still have a faint breath will be ruthlessly eliminated by the Indians with daggers.  At the same time, the Indians would also use daggers to cut off a layer of scalp from the Mohican corpse and hang it on their waist.

    In addition to these Indians, there were also some Europeans wearing plate armor, holding spears, rapiers and matchlocks standing there and pointing.

    It was these Europeans and the natives who attacked the Mohicans. After they killed the Mohicans, the natives began to search for their own spoils.

    "Major, can we do this? You must know that this will cause a backlash from the Mohican tribe. They are a large tribe with thousands of warriors."

    "No matter how powerful the Mohican tribe is, it's useless. Gold was discovered on their territory, which is enough to make people crazy. As long as you think about the gold, then you won't think there is anything scary about the natives."

    One wears a black round hat with a large brim on his head, plate armor, and a half-body cloak inlaid with gold and red. There is a rapier and a handgun hanging on his waist, with two curled and pointed  The man with the curly moustache said to his companion.

    "Gold, yes, I'm willing to turn into a devil for gold." A young man next to him with blond hair and a curly beard responded with a sleazy look.

    The man called the Major smiled and said: "The Governor has issued an order to recruit soldiers from every immigration point. By then, as long as our soldiers gather together, there will be about three thousand people. This is enough to destroy the military of any tribe.  Strength. And don¡¯t forget, we still have those natives as cannon fodder.¡±

    (Hand beating) His eyes glanced at the Indians who were scalping and rummaging through the corpses.

    "Humph, these barbarians, if I don't see them as having some use, I wouldn't mind treating them like the Spaniards who massacred the Incas." The major's eyes were full of disdain.

    After the two talked for a while, the major turned back and whispered something.  The guard standing behind him left in a hurry, and soon the guard brought back an Indian boy who was over ten years old.

    The Indian young man¡¯s eyes were filled with a look of horror, and his body was trembling as if in a state of trembling, completely out of his control.

    What a poor little quail.

    The young man curled his lips.  He looked at the young man with great pity and muttered.

    "I am Major David, under the command of the Governor of Virginia. Now let me ask you some questions. You must ensure that what you tell is the truth. If you tell the truth, I will not make it difficult for you. I may even let you go. This is not a problem.  Possible things."

    David slowly took off his gloves, but the look in his eyes that looked at the young man had changed from pity.  Gradually it turned into indifference and cruelty.

    "If you don't tell me the truth, or hide something, then I can only tell you that it's your bad luck. I will use the most cruel means in the world to deal with you. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

    Davide

    Yes, ever since the Governor got the news that there was gold in the Mohican, he was ecstatic and issued an order to recruit troops.  However, the governor was not dazzled by the two golden men. When he issued the conscription order, he also sent a team of people to find out whether the news was true or false.

    And David was sent out by the Governor of Virginia.  His mission was to inquire about the vicinity of the Mohican tribe.  Do you really own gold?

    It¡¯s just that his style of doing things is different. His so-called inquiring is not to pretend to go to the Mohican tribe, but to attack the Mohican trade team.

    This time, he attacked the Mohican trading caravan, leaving behind a young boy, and all the other Mohicans were ruthlessly executed.

    Live mouth.  one is enough.

    David has his own way of doing things.

    "Do you understand what I said?"

    David handed the gloves to the guard beside him, and an Indian translated David's words to the boy in Mohican.

    Although the young man was very scared, he bit his lips tightly and just stared into David's eyes without making a sound.

    David asked a few questions next, but the boy just treated him with silence.

    "Well, since you are like thisIf you don't cooperate, then I will use my own method to make you speak.  " David was not angry at the young man's lack of cooperation. He just said a word lightly, then turned around and walked to a rock beside him to sit down.

    Then, the Indian who acted as the translator showed a sinister smile on his face.  He greeted his companions in his native language, and they lifted the young man up and walked to the other side.

    In the end, the Mohican boy died tragically at the hands of these Indians.  The Indians also got the information David wanted to know from the boy's mouth, which made David very satisfied.

    There was indeed gold near the Mohican, and that was exactly what the man who told them the news said.  At the same time, David also confirmed that this gold vein contains large reserves of gold.

    Although no measurements have been taken, some clues can be heard from the boy's words.

    The gold has already been exposed on the surface. The women there only need to pick up the gold exposed on the surface. And in that gold vein, it can be said that gold can be picked up easily.

    From this, it can be deduced that there must be abundant gold reserves somewhere.

    "And such a rich mine made David's heart beat a few times faster.

    "Let's pack up and go back. Now that the fact of the gold mine has been confirmed, I don't think we need to go to the Mohican tribe."

    David stood up and dusted off his pants.

    Now that he has established the fact of gold, there is no need to stay here.  He had to report the news to the Governor. He believed that the Governor would be very happy.

    If according to his estimation, this is a rich ore vein, then they defeat the Mohicans and bring this area under their control. By then, in addition to the endless supply of gold that can be transported back to the UK, they who are located in  People on the American continent can also benefit a lot.

    After all, how could His Majesty, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, know how much gold there is here.

    ?? 10 tons of gold are mined, and they report 5 tons, then everyone can swallow five tons.  It's not that he doesn't know how great the benefits are.

    And the cost of mining minerals here in the Americas is very low. Anyway, the people who mine them are Indian slaves or African slaves.

    After David got the information he wanted, he left the Grand Canyon with his soldiers and vassal Indians and embarked on his return journey.

    At this time, neither the British nor Zhao Hongyu could foresee the upcoming collision in the future.

    What the British did not expect was that they encountered a powerful opponent.

    What Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t expect was the small obstacles the British brought to his development.

    But whether both sides thought about it or not, the occurrence of war was inevitable.

    "The reason why the British knew the secret of the gold produced by the Mohican tribe was also a coincidence.

    In order to hide this secret, Zhao Hongyu killed the British businessman Baker and others.

    Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knows that this secret cannot be kept forever.  The reason why he wanted to kill Baker at that time was because he didn't want the British to know about it so early, and he himself could use this gold mine to develop it in a short time.

    Some of the gold-digging women in Mohican will accumulate gold.  They won't change all the sexes at once, after all, their

    My wife¡¯s life is much better than before.

    Therefore, some women carry more or less gold with them.

    This paragraph

    In my hometown, the Mohican tribe has launched a vigorous trade. Some women will follow the men to visit other tribes when they are not going to pan for gold.

    In this way, intentionally or unintentionally, the secret of gold was spread.

    The Indians have little interest in this kind of 'yellow stone', but that doesn't mean that others are not interested in it.

    When the news reached the Governor of Virginia, he immediately took it to heart.  And after much inquiring, it was determined that half of the gold news was true.

    Because he had never seen it with his own eyes, the Governor of Virginia still felt uneasy.

    But you can¡¯t miss such an opportunity just because you are not practical.

    You know, if this news gets out, it will definitely attract the attention of the Dutch and Spanish.

    Although the Spanish had been defeated at sea decades earlier, the Armada was almost completely destroyed.  But thisIt's not that Spain is in ruins. They still have hundreds of thousands of legions and many warships.

    It can only be said that Spain is weaker now than it was decades ago.

    And in the Caribbean, there is no doubt that Spain is powerful.  The Dutch are also on the rise, and these are potential enemies that need attention.

    Therefore, the Governor of Virginia immediately issued a conscription order, and at the same time sent David again to find out the real situation.

    But what the Governor of Virginia didn¡¯t expect was that if he had known the news a few months earlier, the gold mine could have been his.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that three months have passed now.  The person behind the scenes who had deliberately wanted to hide the news for a period of time now has the strength to fight the British.
