- "I just listened to your discussion, and it seems that everyone is inclined to negotiate with white-skinned people, right?"
Facing Samara¡¯s questions, the elders were silent, which made Samara unhappy.
After a while, an elder answered: "We have no conflict with the white people, and our lives in Mohican are getting better and better now, and war is unnecessary. I think the white people may have some misunderstandings about us." , as long as the explanation is clear, war should be avoided."
As soon as the elder started talking, others began to echo him.
"Chief, what Kachia said is right. We don't need to conflict with the white skins. We want to avoid war. At the same time, we also want to avoid letting the women of Mohawk lose their husbands and the children lose their fathers. Now our lives are changing. It¡¯s getting better and better, and no one wants a war.¡±
A fat elder sitting next to the elder who spoke just now said.
Next, many elders expressed their opinions. Their meaning is very clear, that is, there is no need for war but peace.
Originally, this idea was also good.
After all, most people want peace, so who can like war?
¡°But Samara saw many problems clearly, but these elders did not see the link behind it. At the same time, Samara also knows the mentality of these elders. Although they say they want peace or something, in fact, their most real thought is that they can live peacefully and enjoy the good life they have now.
To put it bluntly, they are a little afraid of war, especially war with white-skinned people.
After the elders finished talking to each other, Samara finally said: "Everyone has finished speaking. If no one has a better proposal, then I will tell you my own opinion." , his eyes slowly swept across the crowd. Those elders who advocated negotiation with the white-skinned people suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when they were glanced at like this.
Ignoring the squirming elders, the old leader Samara cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, since everyone has stopped talking, let me talk about my opinions.", "First of all, everyone's starting point is very clear. Well, it¡¯s true that no one wants war to come, but your view of this issue is still incomplete, because this time we in Mohican have no way out.¡±
Samara first named one point, that is, Mohawk could not escape this incident at all. The meaning of his words was so obvious.
How can it be!
No way, the leader actually wants to go to war with the white people!
Hiss, what the leader really means is
¡°We are not stupid, who can¡¯t understand what Samara said.
Ignoring the elders who were talking in low voices, Samara continued: "First of all, what I want to say is that since our Mohican tribe joined forces with the Song tribe to start trade, it has had a great influence on the surrounding tribes. Of course, we, the Mohican tribe, have had a great influence on the surrounding tribes. The benefits of the Gan tribe are naturally the greatest, and everyone knows this."
The elders looked at Samara with some confusion as to what the connection between this war and their Mohawk trade was.
Of course, there were also smarter elders who began to think carefully after hearing what Samara said.
"Everyone knows that white people are also in business. Originally, we Indians didn't have many goods, so white people could often use their goods to exchange with us for furs and other things we don't value, right?"
Samara seduces everyone and brings them into her story bit by bit.
"Originally, everyone could only do business with white people, so we could still coexist peacefully with white people. After all, when the white people fought with us, it would have a great impact on their income, and even if the war spread, they would be in trouble for a long time. It¡¯s impossible to do trade within the country.¡±
As Samara told, everyone nodded slowly.
"But it's different now. Since the Song tribe settled down on Manhattan Island and formed an alliance with us to provide goods, many Indian tribes now have one more option, and that is to trade with our Mohican tribe." , Samara made the point, "And we Mohicans have fair transactions and there is never any fraud. This is much better than white people."
"At least, the goods we trade with other tribes are all useful. Whether it's rice, mustard, iron pots, or wooden dishes, they're better than the things the white men use to exchange furs with us. It¡¯s useful.¡±
Yes, white people in this era basically used useless things when doing business with Indians on the American continent.?Cheat the Indians.
So, what Samara said is not wrong at all.
"So, the business of the white-skinned people is not going well, and those tribes are willing to do business with us instead of the white-skinned people. But this is not a good thing for the white-skinned people." Samara added his My opinions were expressed to everyone, and many people believed in them.
"Think about it, everyone, why the white-skinned people came to our land from the other side of the sea. I think you all know better than me. They are a group of greedy and shameless guys. Let me say this to you. I¡¯m sure I won¡¯t object.¡±
Black Bear said at this time: "Yes, Anxi Baipi came here just for profit. Now our Mohican tribe has snatched away their interests, so they want to launch a war to defeat us and return the interests to us." Take it back."
Samara nodded at the black bear and then said: "You are wrong black bear, the interests do not belong to anyone. This is not white-skinned, nor does it belong to us Mohicans. It is just because we are fair, so those tribes He just recognized us."
The black bear touched the back of his head.
"This is just one of the reasons. The second reason is that our Mohican tribe has become powerful through trade, which makes the white-skinned people a little scared, so they want to take advantage of our Mohican tribe not being fully powerful yet. When the time comes, we will be completely defeated or even exterminated to make them feel at ease." Elder Samara revealed another shocking news.
At this moment, the expressions of the elders did not look very good.
Because through Samara¡¯s description, the elders are almost certain that this is the fact.
Although they did not think of these two points, Samara did.
A powerful Mohican tribe poses a great threat to the white-skinned people. So they didn't want to see the Mohicans become powerful, so they defeated the Mohicans before the Mohicans became powerful, which is in line with speculation.
¡°I don¡¯t know if you have noticed it, but the population of Mohican has increased a lot during this period.¡± Samara asked.
The elders looked at each other one after another, and then Black Bear answered the question.
"The leader is right. Recently, many small tribes have joined the Mohicans and become part of the Mohicans. And this trend is becoming more and more obvious, and more and more tribes have such ideas. Every time the trade team When I come back, I will convey the wishes of those tribes."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
There is also such a thing, actually giving up your own tribe and joining the Mohican tribe.
These elders don¡¯t care about these things at all, so it¡¯s not surprising that they don¡¯t know.
"Why do those people want to join Mohawk?" Someone asked, and he really couldn't figure out why someone would do that.
After signaling the black bear to sit down, Samara explained: "The reason is very simple. We Mohicans are powerful and can bring them a better life. If he is a Mohican, then he does not need many commodities. In exchange for more furs, this can be regarded as a benefit."
When explaining these words, Samara thought of Zhao Hongyu who once asked him to pay attention to this point.
He could not have imagined that this thing really happened and happened so quickly.
When Zhao Hongyu reminded him, Samara didn't quite believe it.
Who knew, now it¡¯s come true.
"But there are people who want to join the Mohican tribe, which is a good thing for the Mohican.
After all, the increase in clan members also proves that the tribe has become stronger.
The number of people on the American continent represents the strength of a tribe.
¡°Everyone can think about it, if all the surrounding tribes join the Mohican in the future, how big a tribe will the Mohican become?¡± Samara¡¯s tone slowly became serious. "How many warriors will there be for a population of 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000 people?"
Hiss!
The elders gasped, frightened by the prospect of the tribe described by Samara.
Yes, Mohican now has a population of more than 10,000, and they already think it¡¯s a big deal. They could not imagine or even dare to imagine how terrifying it would be for Mohawk to have a population of two to three million people.
"If Mohican has a population of 300,000, then it is okay to randomly pull out 50,000 or 60,000 warriors. And how many white-skinned Virginians are there?" Samara led everyone to the idea, "Get rid of them. The old, weak, sick and disabled, the white-skins have less than 10,000 warriors, unless their people, regardless of age or sex, canwar. "
"So they are afraid, afraid of our strength and rise, and they will definitely destroy us before our Mohawk rises." After speaking, Samara sat there with a look of pain on his face.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was strangely quiet.
Suddenly, I don¡¯t know who whispered: Then don¡¯t start trade, let the Song tribe trade with Baipi, so that Baipi can stop going to war.
who is it! Who said this!
After hearing this whisper, Samara shouted loudly with a stern look on his face.
¡°Well, all the elders looked at one person.
Staring at the elder, Samara was ready to kill him.
"Are you willing to give up your current life?"
Samara didn¡¯t say anything, he just asked lightly.
Omnipresent gods, of course I am not willing to give up this kind of life.
The elder replied.
Samara gritted her teeth and said to him: "Since you are not willing to give up your current life, don't talk that kind of nonsense in the future. You must know that you can live this kind of life now, but it is all because of your alliance with the Song tribe and in For their sake of providing goods.¡±
Well!
The elder sat there speechless, while the other elders also looked at him with contempt and disdain.
Comparing the life in the past with the life now, it is simply a world.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from inspection to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to inspection.
¡°If you let the elders who are used to eating fragrant rice and shredded pork with pickled vegetables continue to live the same life as before, they will definitely not like it.
Who wants to eat meat every day until they vomit?
"Prepare for war with all your strength, and give up those useless illusions. The White Skins will never let us go. There are not many times when a once powerful tribe rose up and was defeated by the White Skins. They will not see any Indians becoming strong. Because they are afraid."
Samara finally made a decision.
Of course, although he is the leader and makes the decision, the elders must also vote. This is not a small matter, but a major matter related to war.
In the end, Samara¡¯s proposal was passed, which made the black bears present breathe a sigh of relief.
The thing he was most worried about didn't happen, which made him feel much better.
The decision made by the leaders and elders was quickly conveyed, and the Mohican war machine began to turn.
Because Baipi has united many vassal tribes and other friendly tribes. Therefore, the Mohicans were not to be outdone and notified other friendly tribes to prepare for war.
When the Black Bear Bar Mohican tribe informed Zhao Hongyu of their decision, Zhao Hongyu was also very happy.
With the addition of the Mohican tribe, Zhao Hongyu has a much better chance of winning against the British.
After notifying Zhao Hongyu that the Mohawk warriors under Black Bear had left, Zhao Hongyu returned to his residence and called Wang Shan to wait outside without disturbing anyone.
Wang Shan knew that his leader was going to use the time and space trader.
Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie all knew about what happened in Virginia.
Therefore, Wang Shan was not surprised at all that Zhao Hongyu wanted to use the time and space trader, because he knew that the leader was making some preparations before the war.
"I just don't know if the leader wants to increase his manpower or start making flintlock guns?"
It has been three days since Zhao Hongyu¡¯s last investment failed, and his funds on hand have reached 18 million.
You know, he now has an income of more than one million a day, and he still has more than four million left after adding the previous income. So there are eighteen million in bits and pieces.
Chen Zhenbang needs 10 million and an investment of 3 million himself before he can start investing in building a flintlock manufacturing base.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with doing this when funds were abundant, but now facing the threat from the British in Virginia, it was difficult to invest the money.
Perhaps, cultivating more manpower is the best choice.
Zhao Hongyu began to weigh it quickly and seriously. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site).
