    North America Manhattan area

    A few days ago, the first heavy snowfall of early winter came, covering the earth with snow.

    A snow-white American hare is jumping forward on the thick snow. It is very fast, and even a normal person cannot catch up with it.

    I don¡¯t know why this American hare runs so fast. What natural enemies are chasing it behind it?

    "Woof woof woof!"

    Several dog barks revealed the secret of the rabbit's escape.

    Behind this hare, eight ¡®Chinese Pastoral Dogs¡¯ are following closely behind it.

    No wonder this rabbit can run so fast, I bet he is running for his life.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    There was a gunshot, and the rabbit fell to the snow. Red blood slowly seeped out from its wound, dyeing its white fur red, and the surrounding snow was also dyed red.

    The dogs ran to it quickly. One of the dogs that seemed to be the leader opened his mouth and picked up the hare body from the ground. Then he turned around and ran happily towards the place where the gunshots were heard.

    About fifty meters away, after a burst of green smoke dissipated, Zhao Hongyu appeared, wearing a black bearskin cloak and a bearskin hat.

    Wang Shan, nine Guardsmen, Black Bear and a dozen Mohican warriors followed behind him.  Little Emma was also wearing a white bearskin cloak and a polar bear fur hat following Zhao Hongyu.

    Emma is originally slow and delicate, so when she dresses up like this, she looks like a little white doll, which is really endearing.

    Zhao Hongyu and his party were riding horses purchased from the British, and everyone looked in high spirits.

    Wang Shan and the others were dressed in the uniforms of the "Queue Party", with a military coat lined with sea leather to keep them warm. Each of them carried a flintlock gun behind his back, and two short-barreled handguns at his waist.  A cross ax can be said to be fully armed.

    Black Bear and the Mohican warriors he led didn't even have matchlocks on their backs. They were too heavy to carry.

    And when firing a matchlock gun, you need to set up a gun stand to shoot, which is really troublesome.  So Black Bear and his Mohican warriors, apart from the daggers on their waists and the cross axes on their legs, only carried an Indian longbow and a pot of arrows behind them.

    For the black bears, sometimes bows and arrows are much easier to use than matchlock guns.

    Of course, compared to Zhao Hongyu and his flintlocks, Indian bows and arrows are still not good.

    And when they sat down at Wangshan, there were a lot of prey hanging from the necks of the horses.

    Among them, turkeys are the most numerous. They are big and easy to hunt.  And turkeys are everywhere in Manhattan, so this was the original source of meat for the Mohicans.

    The eight dogs ran back, and the leading dog delivered the rabbit to Wang Shan.

    These eight dogs are completely different from when they first came to this world. The fur on their bodies is all shiny, and even their heads are bigger than before.

    It can be seen that in the hands of Zhao Hongyu, these dogs eat quite well.

    Because there is no added feed, completely wild, natural and pollution-free food, these dogs actually have a second growth.

    Wang Shan took the rabbit out of the dog's mouth, tied a rope around the rabbit's long legs, and hung it around the horse's neck.  Then Wang Shan took out a few cow bones from a bison leather bag and threw them to the dogs.

    ¡°These dogs work so hard, they always have to give some benefits.

    Zhao Hongyu hung the flintlock rifle in the holster behind his butt, turned around and smiled at the black bear.

    "My old father-in-law, it's already noon. Let's camp here and make lunch, and then go back to Manhattan."

    Black Bear nodded and gave instructions to the Mohican warriors beside him. Then the Mohican warriors got off their horses, unloaded the equipment for building temporary tents from their horses, and began to clear the snow.

    Zhao Hongyu was bored in Manhattan, so he found the black bears and went north to hunt with them.

    Although it has already entered the early winter season, and it snowed heavily.

    But there are still many wild animals that appear during the day.

    Therefore, they have gained a lot along the way.

    ¡°I have always felt that my life is a little unrealistic, because the changes this year have been so great, so it¡¯s not right.In just one year, we Mohicans said goodbye to the small tents and moved into brick houses.  "

    While everyone was busy, Hei Xiong and Zhao Hongyu sat on the horse and chatted.  Emma had little interest in the conversation between adults. Her attention was focused on the dogs wagging their tails around her.

    There are no dogs on the American continent, so little Emma likes this kind of humane animal very much.

    And the dogs can also feel Emma¡¯s thoughts, so they are the closest to Emma.

    "Father-in-law, do you think this change is good or bad?" Zhao Hongyu asked back. When the two of them were talking, white breath continued to exhale from their mouths, forming a white mist in front of them.  "I want you to tell the truth. I need to know what people really think."

    " Nowadays, Hei Xiong and Zhao Hongyu have a mutually beneficial relationship, so he doesn't have to hide a lot of things he has to say.  Now the Mohicans have been integrated into the "Song Empire" and have become a nation under the empire's rule.

    "Black Bear, on the other hand, was entrusted by the empire to manage the Mohawks and the remaining elite warriors of the Mohawks.

    At the same time, Black Bear is Zhao Hongyu¡¯s old father-in-law, that is an absolute relative.

    Therefore, in the eyes of the Indians outside, Black Bear should be the top figure in the Song Empire.  After all, he is the father-in-law of the prince of the empire, and Zhao Hongyu, the prince, will be the king of this empire in the future.

    As the father-in-law of the future king of the empire, Black Bear is very important in the eyes of outsiders.

    In fact, only the black bear himself knows what is going on, but he cannot tell outsiders.

    ¡°But precisely because he is Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, he often has to think about Zhao Hongyu.  Because only when Zhao Hongyu gets better, Emma will get better.

    And when Emma¡¯s life is better, her tribesmen, such as Black Bear and Mohawk, who have integrated into the Song Empire, will be better off.

    "Every ten people should know this truth. If Black Bear is not stupid, why can't he not understand it?"

    "No one has any objection to the changes in life. Living in today's houses is very comfortable. We no longer have to suffer from cold and hunger in winter. Who can not be happy?" Black Bear looked at Zhao Hongyu and said to him seriously.  "So, I think this change is good. It's just that everyone is not used to being a soldier, because we are people who are used to freedom."

    Hearing Black Bear talk about this matter, Zhao Hongyu was stunned.

    "Isn't it good to be a soldier? With a monthly salary of twelve silver coins, you can buy the daily necessities and food needed by your family. And you no longer have to fight wild beasts. Isn't that good?"

    Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu said to the black bear very strangely.

    Black Bear smiled bitterly: "We Mohicans naturally value freedom and don't like to have too many restrictions. As a soldier in Manhattan, you have to get up early every day and can't go home until the afternoon is up. Everyone is a little uncomfortable with this.  Too used to it.¡±

    Looking at the bitterly smiling black bear, Zhao Hongyu sighed in his heart.

    ¡°But Zhao Hongyu himself also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Black Bear said.

    It has only been a few months since they integrated into their own Manhattan, and many living habits cannot be changed in a short period of time.

    The Mohicans are used to living a free and carefree life, but it is obviously not practical to impose the 21st century style on the Mohicans.

    After thinking about this, Zhao Hongyu said to Hei Xiong: "Father-in-law, I didn't consider this matter well. Let's do this. From now on, the Mohicans will no longer have to report to the garrison on time. They will all turn into militia, and they will only report during war.  They will be allowed to officially enter the army, and military training is usually conducted every seven days, but there will be no salary."

    Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Black Bear laughed.  Also relieved.

    He was originally worried that Zhao Hongyu would be angry, but fortunately, Zhao Hongyu was more tolerant than he thought and was not angry because of this matter. Instead, he responded with a good attitude.

    "Manhattan has a large flow of people, so there is a big shortage of food. We can go hunting and sell it. Warriors from nearby tribes can also earn a lot of silver coins by selling their prey in Manhattan every month."

    Black Bear was afraid that Zhao Hongyu would be worried randomly, so he told the clansmen that they could do things to make money, so that Zhao Hongyu would not have to worry about this matter.

    "Well, it's always good to have something to do. Now that you've figured out a way, just do it. If you run into trouble, just tell me."

    Zhao Hongyu is also happy to reduce some expenses. After all, Manhattan's economy has just gotten back on track and taxes are not very high yet.

    If the empire wants normalcyIn order to operate, it cannot only rely on the support of Zhao Hongyu.

    While the two were chatting, a group of Mohican warriors had already set up a square tent.  Wang Shan led people to cut down a small tree from the woods nearby, chopped it into firewood, piled a firewood pile and started a fire.

    Several featherless turkeys were skewered on an iron rod, and the oil sizzled under the high-temperature flames. The fat dripped into the fire below, creating a  Crackling sound.

    Wang Shan kept sprinkling refined salt and cumin grains on the turkey, and the fragrance spread all around.

    After bidding farewell to Zhang Tie and leaving the dock, Zhao Hongyu returned to the castle and started investing in the copycat industry.

    Unfortunately, there were so many investment failures that he lost almost all the tens of millions he had saved for two months.

    Fortunately, these investments are of some use. With the help of Chen Zhenbang, the refined salt produced by COFCO contacted the dealer. Zhao Hongyu now has such an additional product.

    And with the help of dealers, Totole's chicken essence, Wang Shouyi Thirteen Incense, bulk pepper aniseed, and dried chili peppers have all appeared in the Umbrella Company's product sales list.  (To be continued.
