- Today's Mohicans, in addition to hunters, more people have come to Manhattan Island to graze.
For them, they prefer this way of life to the rigid military life.
Even the black bear himself thinks so.
Of course, these Mohicans all retain their status as soldiers of the Song Empire, although they are not in the army now. But when a foreign war breaks out in the empire, as long as a recruitment order is issued, they will enlist in the war.
On this point, the Mohicans agree.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu married Emma, ??the daughter of the leader, and Zhao Hongyu is also a member of their Mohican family. In addition, all the Mohicans have now surrendered to the Song Empire, so it is normal for them to fight for the Song Empire.
It¡¯s just that the Mohicans were not used to the life of that kind of army, so the Mohicans turned to militia. When there is no war, they can choose the lifestyle they like.
And because of Emma¡¯s relationship, Zhao Hongyu also arranged life security for the Mohicans by allowing them to become ranchers. Let them all own their own property so that they can have a stable life.
Externally, of course Zhao Hongyu released this in the name of Emma. After all, Emma is his wife now. It is also necessary to gain a good reputation for Emma, ??so that the Mohicans will support Emma even more.
And after Emma married Zhao Hongyu, she was regarded as the queen by the Indians in Manhattan, so Zhao Hongyu needed Emma to have a great reputation in the hearts of the Indians.
"This year is just the beginning, our life will be better next year." Black Bear's wife glanced at him and said to him with a smile on her face.
The black bear couple will look at their cattle and sheep every day. Every time they see these cattle and sheep that belong to them, they will be very satisfied in their hearts.
With these cattle and sheep, they no longer need to hunt.
Because these cattle and sheep will continue to give birth to new calves and lambs, they can make a lot of money by selling some of the adult cattle and sheep every year.
And because the cattle and sheep belong to themselves, if they want to eat meat, they only need to grab one from their own herd, and there is no need to go out and risk hunting.
¡°These lives were brought to me by my son-in-law.
Thinking of this, the black bear couldn't help but feel lucky.
¡°Thanks to myself for meeting Zhao Hongyu, and thanks to myself for marrying my daughter to him.
Only by doing so can I have such a happy life, and the lives of the Mohican people have also been greatly improved.
He knew very well that this kind of treatment was only available to the Mohicans, and other Indians who joined the empire later did not have this kind of treatment.
If they want to live, apart from joining the army, they can only go hunting or doing business by themselves.
There are Mohicans living so comfortably there.
"Catch a lamb and bring it back. Today I want to eat roasted lamb.", the black bear said to the shepherd boy. The little mohawk shepherd boy hired by the black bear immediately rushed into the flock and picked out a lamb.
Since Zhao Hongyu came up with Thirteen Incense and bulk spices, another food has been added to the Mohican diet.
Roast lamb!
Yes, with the spices, this roasted lamb tastes very fragrant. Everyone who has eaten food with this spice will never forget it.
You know, before Zhao Hongyu came to Manhattan, the food the Mohicans ate was just a little salt, and there was no cooking at all.
And more often than not, there is even no salt in their food, which is a very scary thing.
¡°But since Zhao Hongyu came to Manhattan, the Mohicans discovered that food can still be cooked like this, and it can still be so delicious.
??Besides, now many young genetic people have found Mohawk girls as wives. Many Mohicans have also learned a lot of cooking methods from those genetic people.
Today¡¯s Mohican recipes will never be as monotonous as before.
All these are the changes brought about by Zhao Hongyu and his genetic people.
However, because the ingredients are still scarce in Manhattan, many delicious foods are not presented.
But everyone is confident that by next spring, we can plant some vegetables.
¡°Anyway, Zhao Hongyu has already purchased the seeds, and now he is waiting for spring to come.
????????????????????????After catching a little lamb, he ran back quickly.
The black bear sat on the horse and bent down to take the lamb from the shepherd boy with a smile.
¡°Okay, you can continue grazing, I¡¯ll go back soon.¡±
After saying that, he signaled to his wife, turned the horse's head and galloped towards Mohawk's station.
His wife followed closely behind, urging her horse to keep up.
The couple quickly returned to the Mohican Station on Manhattan Island.
The current Mohawk Station is the wooden camp originally built by Zhao Hongyu.
Now after renovation and reinforcement, a fortress made of wood and bricks has been formed.
Most of the Mohicans live in the fort.
While they live here, in addition to grazing, they can also serve as an armed force guarding Manhattan Island, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Outside the fortress is a large area of ??cattle and sheep pens.
Its size depends on the size of the herd of cattle and sheep, and the largest pen there belongs to the black bear.
The Black Bear family invited a lot of people. In addition to the women and children who helped herd, there were also many British women. Most of them work at Black Bear's house and work as servants.
Who would have thought that Indians would hire white servants in their homes.
But this is not surprising in Manhattan.
"Master, you are back."
A fat man from Virginia who was paid by Zhao Hongyu to be the housekeeper of the black bear saw the black bear riding a horse from a distance and came to wait outside the door.
The black bear dismounted and threw the reins and the lamb to him.
"Tell the cook that I'm going to have roast lamb for dinner tonight, and let him put in some effort to cook it well." Black Bear walked into his home in a swagger, and the hired white women all leaned over to salute.
"Okay, sir." The fat butler responded, handed the lamb to a maid and gave her a few instructions, then followed the black bear in small steps: "Sir, Mr. Song Hu from Manhattan City sent someone to look for her. You, but you were not around at the time, so he left. But before leaving, he left a letter."
"Oh, show it to me then."
Hearing this, Black Bear said to the housekeeper.
Today¡¯s Mohicans have to learn some words every day, so in just half a year, most people can recognize some words.
Although these people are still illiterate in the eyes of the teachers who teach them, they are definitely much better than before.
¡°At the very least, they have learned a lot of the writing skills that the first graders of primary school can learn.
"As Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law, Black Bear is the leader of the Zhengbai Banner. He had to study hard because he felt that he could not hold back his son-in-law and daughter.
¡°Besides, many children can do it, so why can¡¯t he, the black bear, do it.
Unlike those Mohicans who are unwilling to learn, Black Bear is very proactive in asking to learn culture.
Therefore, he can still understand ordinary letters.
"I don't know what happened when Song Hu sent people here. Could it be that there was something wrong with my daughter and her son-in-law?" Zhao Hongyu's mother-in-law said to her husband with some worry. She was very clear about Zhao Hongyu and Emma's trip to the Great Lakes region.
Black Bear shook his head: "Probably not. If there is a problem, then the people sent by Song Hu will not leave. It can be seen that this may not be a big deal, so don't think about it."
Soon, the fat butler came back with a letter.
The envelope was sealed with a red candle and had a large dragon-shaped pattern printed on it, which was exactly the pattern of the military department of the Pentagon where Song Hu and the others were located.
He opened the seal, took out the letter inside and read it.
"What's going on?"
Black Bear¡¯s wife asked.
Black Bear waved his hand and asked the fat housekeeper to go further, and then said to his wife: "Song Hu is going to conduct military training to train the soldiers to prevent our son-in-law's nuclear energy from provoking those Iroquois. "
After he responded to his wife, he nodded at the same time.
Regarding Song Hu¡¯s approach, Black Bear believes that it is completely necessary.
It doesn¡¯t matter if others don¡¯t know, but he, Black Bear, knows the Iroquois better.
The people of this huge tribe in the north are not easy to talk to.
Because of their strength, many times they don¡¯t??provoking trouble and even killing people outside the tribe.
In this era where force speaks for itself and strength is paramount, the Iroquois are so domineering and they have their own domineering qualities.
That is because they have a large population and the number of warriors they can fight is also very large. This is simply not something that other Indian tribes can deal with.
It is precisely because of this that the character of the Iroquois gradually became domineering and arrogant.
In their view, there is no one in heaven and earth who can be their opponent, not even the people from other tribes, nor the white people.
"It seems that I have to make some preparations and cooperate with Song Hu to carry out military training on Manhattan Island. Not only us Mohicans, but also the soldiers from other tribes who have joined us must do some training."
After walking to a candle and burning the letter, Black Bear said to his wife.
She breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that her son-in-law and daughter were not in danger.
"This is your men's business, just take care of it yourself." A Mohawk woman will not care about men's affairs. For her, she only needs her husband, daughter and son-in-law to live well. That's it.
She won¡¯t pay attention to other things. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work.
