Ma Jin received a report from the company guarding the cordon that at the junction with the Indians, the Indians were spotted, and Ma Jin sent Gongsun Hao to deal with the matter.

Gongsun Hao received the order and immediately went to the place of the incident.

Stationed here is the seventh company of the second battalion of the third regiment, and the company commander is called Mo Qiufeng.

"Counselor Gongsun, I'm finally looking forward to you." Mo Qiufeng said enthusiastically as soon as he saw Gongsun Hao.

Gongsun Hao asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Mo Qiufeng introduced: "In recent days, on the opposite side of the cordon set up by the Dutch, some Indian people suddenly appeared, these people look very similar to us, but they are people from the mountains and wilderness, they don't even have a decent clothes, only a few leaves to cover their bodies. ”

"Do they have weapons in their hands?" Gongsun Hao asked.

Mo Qiufeng said: "I saw that they had bows and arrows in their hands, but there was no sign of shooting arrows at our side. ”

Gongsun Hao asked again: "Have they ever approached us?" ”

"We watched them all the time, as if nothing like this had happened, they just watched us from afar behind the trees." Mo Qiufeng said while pouring water for Gongsun Hao.

Gongsun Hao took a big sip of a full glass of water and said, "Take me to have a look." ”

Mo Qiufeng said: "Don't worry, let's go after lunch, the cordon is still two miles away from the company headquarters!" Besides, they usually appear in the woods in the afternoon. ”

Gongsun Hao nodded: "It's okay, I've been walking the mountain road for most of the day, and I'm hungry, so I'll go after lunch." ”

The company's food is very rich, four dishes and one soup, and they are all meat dishes, mainly fish, the meat is processed beaver meat, very refreshing, Siamese rice cooked rice, sweet and delicious. Because of the hot weather, each person can also drink a bowl of mung bean syrup after a meal.

After lunch, Mo Qiufeng brought the Western horse and said to Gongsun Hao: "Gongsun Staff, you can go now." ”

"Horseback riding?"

"Yes."

These Western war horses were left behind by the Dutch, and Ma Jin equipped these war horses to Mo Qiufeng's company.

"I've never ridden a horse like this." Gongsun Hao is a little timid, he is a combat staff officer of the navy, riding a horse has only been practiced in the military academy, after getting on the warship, he has not even smelled the smell of horses, let alone riding, and now he is facing a Western horse.

Mo Qiufeng said with a smile: "Look at me, forget that you are a senior staff member of the navy, indeed, horseback riding is not your forte, it doesn't matter, if you don't dare to ride, you can come up to me." ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Who rides with you!" I rode my own myself. ”

Mo Qiufeng handed the reins to Gongsun Hao: "If you have a chance, then get on the horse and give it a try." ”

Gongsun Hao took the reins, first gave the horse Shunshun Mao, established some intimate relationship with it, and then rode up, although he was a little afraid in his heart, but after all, he was young, he had a strength, and he was also skilled in turning over the horse, don't look at the tall Western horse, and he was very tame when riding, Gongsun Hao galloped on the grass of the company for a while, and returned to the same place, and said to Mo Qiufeng: "You can go now!" ”

Mo Qiufeng also stepped on the war horse and said, "I can't see it, Gongsun Staff Officer really has two brushes!" ”

After saying that, he took the reins with him, rode his horse to the west, he and Gongsun Hao walked side by side, he knew that although Gongsun Hao could ride a horse, after all, he was unfamiliar with equestrianism, and he could not control it freely, so he specially walked side by side with Gongsun Hao, so that he could lead the horse that Gongsun Hao was riding, so as not to let it run around.

Behind the two horses, a squad of cavalrymen followed closely.

The journey of two miles can be reached in the blink of an eye on horseback. Gongsun Hao followed Mo Qiufeng to the defense of the Seventh Company, and sure enough, he saw that there were many Indians in the woods on the opposite side observing this side.

"Company commander, these barbarians came very early today, and they kept looking at us as if something was going to happen."

Gongsun Hao harshly criticized the soldiers who spoke: "You can't call them barbarians, they are Indians, we must correct our attitude towards them, be enthusiastic, not despised." ”

Mo Qiufeng emphasized: "You all listen carefully to the words of Gongsun Counselor, Gongsun Staff was sent by the emperor, and his words are what the emperor meant." ”

Gongsun Hao said: "The emperor warned us that we must live in peace with the Indians so that we can take root in the Americas. You all have to welcome these Indians on the other side with 100 percent enthusiasm, and you can't call them barbarians anymore! ”

"Did you hear what Counselor Gongsun said clearly?" Mo Qiufeng asked his soldier loudly.

"Hear me clearly!" The soldiers replied neatly.

Gongsun Hao said to Mo Qiufeng: "Commander Mo, I'm going to go over and see them." ”

Mo Qiufeng said: "This is not good, I want to ensure your absolute safety." So I'll send a man over and see what the situation is. ”

Gongsun Hao said: "This matter really needs me to go in person, don't worry, I will be careful." ”

Mo Qiufeng knew that he couldn't persuade Gongsun Hao, so he ordered his soldiers: "All of them, be ready for battle, and once Gongsun Staff is in danger, shoot immediately!" ”

"Don't! Other! Gongsun Hao hurriedly stopped, "If you enter the battle state, it will be strange if you don't scare them away." If you relax, my safety will be guaranteed. ”

Mo Qiufeng hurriedly said to his soldiers: "Relax, relax, laugh, laugh!" ”

The sun hung high in the sky, the chirping of birds could be heard in the trees, and the air seemed to freeze, without a trace of wind.

Gongsun Hao stepped on the dead branches on the ground and walked forward cautiously, his eyes looking straight ahead, paying attention to the movement on the opposite side.

One step, two steps, three steps......

Little by little, Gongsun Hao moved away from his camp, and the Indians on the opposite side began to stir, and he stood still, standing there quietly, looking at each other with a smile on his face.

This move really worked, and the Indians stopped their uneasy commotion, and their expressions when they looked at Gongsun Hao were also expressed.

Gongsun Hao moved two more steps slightly, he was already close to the middle ground, he could already see the expressions of the Indians very clearly, and he was finally relieved, because from the expressions, their faces showed a little friendliness.

He paused and pondered his next course of action, how could he impress the Indians?

After thinking about it, he thought that sending them something to eat was the best way to show kindness, so he turned around to Mo Qiufeng and said, "Commander Mo, get me something to eat." ”

Mo Qiufeng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to ride back to the company to get food, and a soldier rode on a fast horse to get food.

Gongsun Hao turned back to face the Indians with a smiling face, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves that day, he knew that the soldiers who had gone to fetch food had returned.

He turned his head again, and sure enough, he saw a soldier carrying a large box of pancakes, and he said to the soldier, "Bring it here, walk slowly, and don't run." ”

This soldier strictly carried out Gongsun Hao's orders, and cautiously walked towards Gongsun Hao step by step. Gongsun Hao looked at the Indians nervously, for fear of disturbing them. Fortunately, they were not disturbed by the soldiers' actions, and they still maintained their original state, looking at Gongsun Hao's side.

Suddenly, Gongsun Hao heard a "click" sound behind him, and he hurriedly turned his head to look. ()
