After Zhao Hongyu came to Black Bear, Black Bear asked with some confusion.
The Mohican trading pair was ambushed and all members were killed. This was a matter for the Mohican tribe and had nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu. Black Bear couldn't understand what Zhao Hongyu was doing here.
¡°I heard something was wrong here, so I came to take a look.¡±
Zhao Hongyu was followed by Wang Shan and the famous genetic human guard.
"Do you know who did it?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
Black Bear nodded: "We can probably tell that it was done by the Parn tribe warriors in the Virginia area controlled by white people." He pointed to the five corpses on the ground and told Zhao Hongyu.
Virginia area?
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu muttered softly.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu had a bad premonition about this.
If the black bear¡¯s judgment is accurate, then there will be a big problem here.
The Virginia area was far away from them, and he couldn't imagine that the other party would travel such a long distance just to ambush the Mohican trade team.
Even if it¡¯s about robbing property or something, this reason doesn¡¯t make sense.
If you want to rob, why do you rob here in the valley of the Akalachi Mountains? Rather than on the road to the southern tribes? Those trading teams are much closer than here.
In fact, David¡¯s main purpose in ambushing the Mohican tribe¡¯s trading partners here was to confuse the public. Create an illusion to confuse the Mohicans and make them turn against the Anu or other tribes.
It would be great if the Mohicans could have a few battles with other tribes to consume the strength of the Mohicans.
You have to say that David¡¯s plan is very good.
"It's a pity that David looked at the Indians too stupidly.
And he came with David. As a guide who was also a vassal of the Indian Parne tribe under the British, those warriors who died in the battle leaked information on the last corpses.

But when he heard what Black Bear said, he realized that things were definitely not that simple.
"Bring their bodies back, we can't let our former companions die in the wilderness." Black Bear ordered to the surrounding Mohican warriors. "Captain, what to do with these corpses?" someone asked, pointing to the corpses of Parn warriors.
"Don't worry about it, just let their bodies go into the coyote's belly!"
Zhao Hongyu could see that the black bear did not eat people. If he could eat people, he would probably order the bodies of the Parn warriors to be killed. It is cooked and eaten in a large iron pot.
"Does the Mohican tribe have a grudge against the Parn tribe?"
Black Bear turned around and left after giving the order. Zhao Hongyu asked quietly as he followed him.
The black bear shook his head and showed a puzzled expression.
"No, we are not familiar with the Mohican tribe and the Parn tribe. They live in the area controlled by white people in Virginia, and I have heard from other tribes that this tribe has been vassalized under the wings of the British. They have become A loyal lackey.¡±
When Black Bear said that the Parn tribe was vassal to the British, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhao Hongyu's mind.
Could it be that the British knew about our killing of Baker?
Is this the revenge of the British?
Zhao Hongyu thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
He thought it was unlikely that this would happen because they had been very careful in killing Baker. Even the place where Baker's bodies were buried is extremely difficult to find.
The Mohicans who participated in that attack obviously could not tell others about such a thing, because they knew the consequences they would face if this matter spread.
But if it wasn¡¯t because of Baker, then why would it be?
It is obviously incorrect to say that these Parns attacked the Mohican tribe's trading team without the approval of the British.
Even Zhao Hongyu could almost guess it. Maybe the British were involved in this attack.
It has to be said that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s guess was almost correct.
"Could it be that our killing of Baker was exposed?"
Although Zhao Hongyu thinks it is unlikely that this matter will be leaked, he cannot guarantee that everyone involved in the matter will not leak the secret.
Black Bear shook his head: "My people will not leak secrets. I can guarantee this with my life."
ZhaoHongyu was silent for a moment. He thought he should send someone out to investigate.
This matter will definitely not be that simple.
"If possible, I hope you will send someone to the tribes in the south to ask what is going on in Virginia recently. Maybe we can make some judgments based on the dynamics in Virginia."
Black Bear is very much in favor of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s proposal.
"You are right, we should pay attention to the situation over there. The Parn people will not come here for no reason, and after attacking our people, they have to cover up their own information."
Half a day later, they returned to the Mohican tribe.
The bodies of the dead Mohican warriors were transported back to the tribe.
The death of a loved one brings sadness and pain to many families. Within the Mohican tribe, a thick sentimental atmosphere hangs over the sky.
The Mohicans built a pyre, placed the corpses of the Mohican warriors on top, and then lit torches and began to burn the corpses.
They believe that the souls of these Mohican warriors will roam over the Mohican tribe to protect the Mohicans and their relatives.
Singing that sad Indian song, people¡¯s faces were extremely sad.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t feel well either.
However, his focus cannot be on this now.
Black Bear followed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s suggestion and sent several groups of soldiers to the Indian tribes in the south to inquire about the situation in Virginia.
This cannot be reported back in a short period of time.
Zhao Hongyu said goodbye and left the Mohican tribe. He felt that he should also be prepared to deal with unknown crises.
"Chief, what do you think the problem will be?"
Wang Shan, who had been following Zhao Hongyu, couldn't help but ask after he and Zhao Hongyu returned to Manhattan Island.
¡°I don¡¯t know what the problem is. All we can do now is prepare ourselves so that we won¡¯t have time to deal with it if there is a real problem.¡±
To be honest, Zhao Hongyu really couldn¡¯t guess what the problem was behind this.
But in his heart, there was a slight sense of crisis.
Even if it¡¯s a rainy day, Zhao Hongyu feels that he should be more careful and have some preparations.
On Manhattan Island, Lamour and his Somali ¡®legion¡¯ are training every day. He and Song Hu took their men to take turns learning how to operate a sailboat at sea, and those who came ashore could not be lazy. Army combat training was conducted every day.
Today, it was Song Hu who was training on the Mayflower
I son. So it was Lamour and his people who conducted military training on Manhattan Island.
Looking at Lamour not far away, shouting Somali chants and leading his men on a long-distance run, Zhao Hongyu withdrew his gaze.
He turned to Wang Shan and said: "If possible, disassemble the 8-pounder gun on the Mayflower. As equipment for our army, I always have a little feeling that we may be in big trouble."
There were a total of 18 cannons on the Mayflower, none of which were of very large caliber.
Ten 8-pounders and eight 10-pounders.
It can be said that this kind of vitality is so weak that it is simply scum.
But considering the sense of crisis in his heart, Zhao Hongyu felt that a few of the cannons on the Mayflower should be dismantled and used as spares.
¡°If anything happens, these cannons will be of great use.
"Chief, there is no problem in dismantling these cannons. But after these cannons are dismantled, how do we move them?"
This type of cannon is no problem on a ship, but if disassembled, they have no wheels and cannot be moved.
Although the caliber of the artillery is small, it is also very heavy.
After Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, he told Wang Shan: "Pick a few carpenters from Baipi to make a frame and wheels that can fix the artillery. I know that we don't have iron rollers, so the wooden wheels can't be used." A few days.¡±
"Okay, Chief, I've written it down. But I don't know how many cannons the Chief plans to dismantle?"
There are a total of eighteen cannons on the ship, and I don¡¯t know how many Zhao Hongyu wants.
Four doors, I think it¡¯s enough.
Now Zhao Hongyu has more than 200 people capable of fighting.
??Mainly Lamour and his Somali soldiers, as well as the nine genetic guards under his command, and the thirteen veterans under Song Hu.
The Anuqi warriors have to guard the prisoners, so they cannot be counted for the time being.
The remaining genetic people, Zhao Hongyu made up his mind to let them become farmers, so he did not count them as combatants.
After this calculation, it should be enough for more than 200 people to have four cannons.
At the same time, the combat effectiveness of these more than 200 people is much higher than that of the previous genetic people.
No matter what the fighting will is, it is much stronger.
"Cannons alone are not enough. We have to prepare some other weapons. We have gunpowder on hand. It would be great if we could use it."
Wang Shan¡¯s mind turned quickly, and he immediately came up with an idea.
"Chief, we can make some earthen bombs. There is so much black powder, but with our own technology, we can only make bombs."
¡°Well, that¡¯s a pretty good idea.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes flashed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope to see results in a short period of time, so you should hurry up and do this."
Wang Shan nodded and agreed.
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan talked for a while before they separated.
After Wang Shan left, Zhao Hongyu came to the beach alone and stood there quietly.
He remained silent facing the blue water and the waves that kept crashing on the beach.
