The majestic, straight, young Indian, with his greasy hair, clutched the reins in one hand and a carbine in the other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is his beloved thing, and it is also his lucky charm. More than a year ago, he was bitten on the lower leg by a wolf in the desert, and he was severely inflamed, had a high fever, and was hungry and thirsty. Just when he was about to die, he was saved by a passing Tang man. This traveler, who was accompanied by a camera and various supplies, was considered to be a man of status. The traveler gave him medicine to heal his wounds, and it didn't take long for his injuries to heal, and he was invited by the travelers to be their guide through the desert and mountains. On that day, the traveler gave him this carbine, hoping that he would be able to protect everyone.

That night, he attacked the traveler with a gun, but woke up the others, snatched one of the traveler's horses in a panic and fled. Soon after, he rode back to his tribe with the gun on his steed, and was respected by the people of the tribe. He made up a special legend for himself, saying that he first fought the evil wolf in the desert, and then defeated the Tang people who tried to kill him, and took their weapons and horses.

The Apache people have always revered heroes, and he became the most famous warrior of the younger generation of the tribe, as he was called. The boys all want to fight with Esquart, and the girls are willing to let Ashquart sow seeds in their bodies. Coupled with the fact that Esquat's father was already a well-known witch doctor in the tribe, Esquat had a higher status in the tribe, and even began to be able to challenge the chieftain gradually.

A long train runs on the tracks, a rhythmic clattering sound. Billowing smoke came out of the chimney, like a man running forward with all his might.

Esquart galloped on his horse. I saw the train clearly. He smiled: "Sure enough, it's like you said." Coussy, it's a slow car, we've got to make money! ”

The young Indian with a round face, but with dead fish eyes showing the whites of his eyes, rode on another horse, and compared to the sweaty horse under Esquat's crotch, his horse was very ordinary, and it was exchanged for the Spaniards, and it could not keep up with Esquart's horse.

"Of course. Cousie I never miss a chance to do so, come on, Esquart, maybe there's canned meat and canned fruit in this wagon! The round-faced Cussi Dead Fish had a sparkle in his eyes, and seemed to be particularly interested in what he had mentioned.

Another taller and thinner Indian laughed and said, "Cussi, you really don't know anything but food, I guess there are muskets transported by the Tang people in that cart, so we will be stronger!" ”

Esquart was more clever and cunning than his companions, which is why everyone obeyed him. Esquart shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. If it is a cart transporting munitions, then there must be a lot of Tang soldiers on it, and if you fight them in the car, it will be a very troublesome matter. And the Tang people will definitely use a safer fast train, not this one. ”

His analysis is very reasonable, so that all friends agree. They have been engaged in the profession of this train thief for a year, and they have actually not succeeded many times, and they can't take too many things with them each time. They climb onto the train, usually into unguarded carriages, and throw off the train, no matter what cargo is inside. Some of the goods they stole were ordinary clothing and food, which were considered wealth to the tribesmen, and what they didn't need, they could go to the Mexicans in exchange for weapons and horses.

The Tang people will not sell weapons and war horses to the Apaches, although the Tang people will not take the initiative to trouble the Apaches, but the Tang people have built their own colonies in Phoenix, Tucson and other places, obviously if the Apaches are armed, it is a brain-dead act. However, the Tang people sold all kinds of foreign trade weapons and equipment to Mexicans and Spaniards at the same time. The best-selling paper shell rifled gun in the early years of Datang has been basically copied by most European countries at this time, and there is even an arsenal in Mexico that can produce such weapons. In the past two years, some metal fixed-loading weapons have also appeared in the world, and the Tang people saw that the British had achieved success in the development of such weapons, so they had to take them out to seize this market. Mexicans were also able to buy some of these weapons, which were relatively expensive, and Esquart obtained the cartine cartes in his possession through Mexican merchants.

The Tang people built the colony into New Mexico by building the two-ocean railway, and the Spaniards were certainly not happy about this, but there was no good means of confrontation, especially in recent years, the Spanish colonies were particularly chaotic, and there were many rebels and uprisings. The Spaniards did not want to go to war with the Tang and did not have the extra strength to immigrate here, so the governor of New Spain used the power of the Indians to contain the Tang. Mexican traders entered New Mexico with weapons and horses and bought Tang goods and other collections provided by the Indians, while the Indians, who had acquired arms, posed a greater threat to the Dons.

After shooting and wounding the Tang Traveler and fleeing back to his tribe, Esquart began his career as a bandit. The Apache people who inhabited New Mexico were quite a formidable force, compared to the Indian tribes that the Tang encountered on the West Coast. The Apache were divided into seven tribes, and the Esquat belonged to the White Mountain tribe of the West Apaches, a relatively powerful tribe. However, the New Mexico region was desert and barren, and the Apache people had always relied on gathering and hunting to survive. When Esquart discovered that there were all kinds of valuable things on the speeding train that appeared on the railroad south of the tribe, he began to rob without any psychological pressure.

For many Indians, this is a natural thing. Hunting is robbing the natural world, and it makes no difference whether it robs foreigners or Tang people. In their opinion, there is no problem with obtaining supplies in order to survive, they have no moral constraints, and all hunting and looting in order to survive are the most righteous acts.

After sneaking aboard the Tang train for the first time and stealing a lot of goods without anyone noticing, Esquart allowed his tribe to eat good food that he had never eaten before, and obtained all sorts of strange but useful gadgets. Esquat found a way to better feed the people of the tribe by robbing the Don's train. (To be continued.) )
