450 overthrown

Esquat's idea was crazy, the elders and chieftains in power in the clan would never agree to Esquart's actions, and even Esquat's father, the tribe's witch doctor, did not support his son's idea, and he made a divination, saying that if Esquat really carried out this matter, then the tribe would be wiped out.

This is actually something that can be seen without divination, and the strength of the Tang people should not be underestimated, and the Baishan Apache people have a certain understanding of this. The engineering team sent by the Tang people before had more than 1,000 people, plus the army for protection, there were more than 2,000, plus the Tang people were generally equipped with muskets and other more powerful weapons, although the Baishan tribe also had a small number of muskets, but it was obviously unable to fight against the Tang people.

However, Esquart did not think so, he knew that the Tang people had a strong army, but he insisted that the Tang people would not dare to break away from their railway line and march hundreds of kilometers north to the mountains in search of the Baishan tribe. Moreover, Esquart actually has a more complete strategy.

After his plan was rejected, Esquat said impassionedly in front of most of the young people in the tribe: "...... Our brothers, who have given their lives for the sake of the tribe, have returned to the bosom of our ancestors. But we must not forget that they died at the hands of the Dons, and it was those hateful Dons who took away our brothers, whose hands were stained with the blood of our Apaches. The Tang are the mortal enemies of the Apaches, the embodiment of sin, and the filthy scum that the gods of the fire sun and the water and moon spurned too. For the sake of our tribe, for the sake of our fallen brothers, we should all take revenge on the Don! ”

Sheikh Xiu had already vetoed him, but Esquart also had a lot of status in the tribe, and what Esquart said made him frown, but the tribe could not interrupt the members at will. In particular, Esquart also represents his witch doctor father.

Esquart continued: "Our tribe has lived on this land for a long time, and our ancestors created our homeland here. Here are the Apaches, the land of our White Mountains, and now the Tang people are coming, and with their muskets and steel, they want to take our land. What kind of railroad to build on it, there is no consent from us at all, this is something we cannot agree to! ”

Voices of approval began to emerge in the crowd, and emotions became hot.

"If the Tang people want to pass through our land, they must pay us their goods! This is what we deserve, the greedy Tang people occupy too many living materials, but want to monopolize them, and the Apache people do not agree! ”

"Can't say yes!" Some people began to unequivocally echo it.

"As long as we get food and clothes from the Tang people, we don't have to live the life we have now. Our women don't have to go out so hard to collect agaves and cacti. Our men no longer have to fight with the ferocious wolves to bring back their prey, and the supplies provided by the Tang people can make us live happily! This is one of our greatest opportunities for the Apaches, as long as we seize it, the tribe will be free of hunger and cold, and we will be strong! ”

It can be said that Esquart's speeches were still extremely inflammatory, and he already enjoyed prestige among the tribe. Convincingly, what he said naturally struck some resonance. After all, human beings are inherently lazy. They all want to be out of work and get food on their own. If they could really get the Tang people to give him food to eat and clothes to wear, as Esquart said, then they would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

But no one noticed the biggest logical problem here, and someone said, "Esquart, you are the smart man of the tribe." There must be a point in saying it. However, the Tang people were so powerful, with thousands of warriors and thousands of muskets, no tribe could beat them. If you them off. Our White Mountain is about to perish! ”

With a natural aura, Esquat waved his hand and said, "You're right, there is no tribe stronger than the Tang people. But we are seven tribes, and we can fight for the Navajos, and the Comanches don't like the Don, and as long as we can organize ourselves and fight in our familiar homeland, the Dons can't defeat us at all. I've got a good way to defeat the Dons, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it! ”

The elder couldn't help but say with some yin and yang weirdness: "You said that if you can definitely succeed, you will definitely succeed?" You kid, don't talk big! ”

At this time, a young man suddenly said: "Esquart has done so many things for our tribe, and everyone has benefited from him, but what have you done for the tribe this old fellow?" You're not qualified to say Esquart! ”

This was obviously agreed by many young Apaches, and soon the wind changed again, and I don't know who shouted again: "Esquat is the hero who can lead the White Mountain, and Xiwu should give up the position of chief to Esquat!" ”

"That's right, make Esquat the chief!"

The noise grew louder and louder, and there was even pushing and shoving among the crowd with dissidents. Standing in the center, Esquart unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Cousie suddenly snatched it out and snatched the feather crown on Xiwu's head, which symbolized the status of the chieftain, although Xiwu was also a powerful warrior when he was young, but now he is old, and he is not as strong as the kid Cousie, and the few guys who support him are surrounded by a group of young people at this time, and no one can help him.

Seeing this, the elder was furious, pointed at Esquat, and said, "Bastard, you are plotting to usurp the throne!" ”

Cousie handed the crown to Esquat and shouted, "It was everyone who chose Esquart as our chief, you old things don't work, only Esquart can lead us to a better tomorrow in the White Mountain Apache, you things that are about to rot and be pecked to death by vultures, get out of the way and watch." ”

Esquart laughed and put the crown on his head, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Of course, there are also some dazed guys, and it is always the noisy ones who are heard, and those who don't speak, only obey.

This "coup" was of course premeditated, and Esquat had actually cultivated his own power in the tribe long ago, and he used the power to distribute and loot the goods of the Tang people, and recruited a group of young Apache to serve him, at this moment he encouraged his followers and finally gained the supreme power of the tribe.
