- "Oh, what good way do you have to give the indigenous people the benefits they are excited about?"
David bowed slightly and then said: "There are many novelties in the Mohican tribe. I have seen them and they are all very good things. Even we in the UK cannot make them, so I concluded that in the Mohican tribe There should be some skilled craftsmen in the tribe.¡±
In David's mind, he already has a comprehensive plan. Compared with the civilian governor, he is still very competent as a military official.
Simmons nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I saw those products, they are very clever. Matches are even more convenient, and the transparent wine is also very strong. Many people like it very much."
Because of the trade of Mohican, some goods have flowed into Virginia and have become very popular.
Therefore, Simmons and David know and understand a little bit about mohawk products.
"We can agree to those Indians and hand over these craftsmen as slaves to them. I don't think they will refuse such a benefit." David smiled sinisterly, "As far as I know, in fact, many tribes They all covet the Mohican products, but because the Mohican tribe is too powerful, they suppress their greed in their hearts."
David has always been in control of the mentality of the indigenous people.
From time to time, he would talk to some Indians and get some information from them.
Although David was very hypocritical, the Indians didn't know his plan.
"At the same time, we can also tell them that after the gold mine is captured, we can outsource the gold mining work to them. Let them be responsible for finding people to dig for gold. As for whether they find people from their tribe. Or slaves, we will decide Ignore it. At the same time, we can also give them part of the golden benefits, so that they have no reason not to work hard. "
Simmons heard this. He then knew David's plan and danger.
"Hey, that's a good plan. These natives are used to using gold and silver, so they will also care about gold mines. And entrusting them with gold mining can also solve the problem of workers. For this reason, they will capture a large number of slaves, and waging war against other tribes will weaken them themselves." Simmons smiled and said to David.
"And it doesn't matter if we share the golden profits with them. We can just treat them as raising pigs. When they are fattened and weak, we can get back all the profits with profits. And these spoils do not have to be turned over to the The country belongs entirely to us."
This is simply a win-win.
so. Simmons showed an expression of appreciation for David.
"David. You are very smart. I should report it to my king. Maybe you should have a higher position and title, so that you can better display your intelligence."
David quickly bowed and responded humbly.
¡°Simmons didn¡¯t say this out of the blue, he was thinking far ahead.
He could foresee it when they really defeated the Mohicans and occupied the gold mines. It is very likely that he will be removed from the position of governor.
Faced with such huge interests in gold mines, the greedy people in the country will definitely take notice.
Therefore, the governor will definitely be replaced.
What he has to do now is to prepare for a rainy day, draw David to his side, and ensure his own interests.
The two talked for a while, and then David said goodbye and left.
Now David still has a lot to do. He has to persuade some Indian tribes within ten days. Let them send warriors to join the British army against the Mohicans.
The city of Yaksali is still so noisy and lively. People don't know yet. In the Mid-Levels Government House in the center of the city, a war plan has been made.
A big storm has enveloped the Virginia area, but bigger storms are still brewing.
¡°These people know nothing about these things.
In the next few days, the residents of Yaksali City discovered that many Indian tents were appearing on the outskirts of the city.
And on the streets of the city. More and more Indians also appeared.
These Indians were all strong and young, which made many British residents aware that something was wrong.
It only took David five days to persuade the surrounding Indian tribes who had good relations with them.
As for the Indian tribes vassalized under the protection of the British, they learned thatWhen I see great benefits, my heart beats with excitement.
In addition to these Indians gathering in Yaxali City, militiamen recruited from other settlements in Virginia also arrived one after another and were stationed outside the city.
The arrival of so many people made the merchants in Yaksali burst into laughter.
Even the female branch girls have a good income.
However, so many people put some pressure on food consumption.
¡°However, Simmons doesn¡¯t care about these pressures. Compared with the benefits that are about to be harvested, these losses are not worth mentioning.
It¡¯s just that the security in the city has not been very good recently. Indians and militiamen have brought great disharmony to the security in the city.
It seems that these people need to leave as soon as possible.
Simmons looked at the documents submitted by his subordinates, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Dividing line
"This is our person, there is nothing wrong with it."
Just when the British gathered their troops in the city of Yaksali, at the place where the Mohican trading team died in the valley of the Akalachi Mountains, the black bear looked at the corpses on the ground with a distorted expression, and his cheeks twitched from time to time.
"Captain, there is a child over there, but he died tragically."
A Mohican warrior came to report to Black Bear. Because Black Bear is now the leader of the trade group's escort, under Zhao Hongyu's explanation, the Mohican warriors all called Black Bear captain.
Although Black Bear didn¡¯t understand what ¡®captain¡¯ meant, he still accepted the title with peace of mind.
"Who did it? The Anu people? Or the Pakley people?"
The black bear¡¯s pupils were flashing with ferocious light, and he wanted to kill people now.
But the problem is that he doesn¡¯t know who the enemy is, so he must control his anger and not let anger mess up his thinking.
He needs to think about it carefully and see if he can find some clues.
His people cannot die like this. He wants to find the real murderer and take revenge.
"Everyone, please be careful and see if you can find any clues nearby. These companions are still waiting for us to avenge them. We want to find the murderer!"
Black Bear suppressed the rising anger in his heart and tried his best to give rational orders.
On the opposite side of the Akarachi Mountains is the territory of the Anu and Paklay people. Since the Mohicans started trading, they have been trading with each other.
Black Bear couldn¡¯t figure it out. If it was the two tribes that sat down, why would they do this?
Is it true that, as Zhao Hongyu said, the attack and robbery occurred just to get something for nothing?
But the problem is, if these two tribes did it, then he must provide evidence. Otherwise, his own guess alone is unconvincing.
After all, if you want to launch a revenge war against other tribes, you must get approval from the elders.
If you want to convince the elders to agree to revenge, then Black Bear must provide convincing evidence.
But the problem is, it doesn¡¯t make sense to say that this matter was done by the Anu people or the Paklei people, because the Anu and Paklei people told Moxi about the trade team.
The Mohicans passed through the canyon of the Akalachi Mountains to do trade, and the Anu and Paklei people would also pass through this canyon to trade with the Mohican tribe.
¡°If these two tribes had done this kind of thing, it would be impossible for them to tell the Mohicans about the trade team.
Therefore, it is still a bit too arbitrary to judge these two tribes as the murderers now.
But if it wasn¡¯t these two tribes that did it, then who would it be?
Black Bear really couldn¡¯t figure out which tribe that had a grudge against the Mohicans would ambush their trading team in the canyon of the Akalachi Mountains.
While Heisio Ono was thinking hard, the men responsible for collecting the corpse finally made a discovery.
A Mohican warrior found that the ground under his feet was a little soft, so he kicked it a few times.
This kick didn't matter, the shallow soil was kicked away, and one arm was exposed.
"Captain, there is a discovery here!" After the Mohican soldier discovered the arm, he immediately shouted loudly. This attracted other Mohican warriors around to gather around him.
Hearing the words, the black bear also walked over quickly, "What did you find?".
"Captain, look, there are several corpses here. They seem to have been hastily buried here. It's very sad."?This is the corpse of the enemy who attacked our trading caravan. "
This Mohican warrior squatted on the ground, pulling at the soil with his hands, and slowly dug out the loose soil that buried the body with his palms.
The black bear also squatted down and looked carefully at the corpse dug out of the soil.
As the Mohican warriors dug, five corpses were dug out and placed neatly on the ground.
These corpses have bald temples on both sides of their foreheads, with only a strand of black hair left in the middle of their heads.
At the same time, these corpses all have green tattoos on their bodies.
The black bear¡¯s facial muscles twitched as he recognized the tattoo and the bald sideburns.
"These are warriors from the Parn tribe. How come their bodies are here?" Black Bear was almost certain that these were the people who attacked the Mohican trade caravan.
It¡¯s just that he was a little strange. How could a tribe far away in the white-controlled areas of Virginia come here to ambush the Mohicans?
