Chapter 804: The Colonists Have No Good Things

Women sent by the natives can't be touched, and it's not easy to refuse. Fortunately, similar things have happened in Nanyang before, and the way to deal with them is to ignore them first, and wait for someone to send them to the camp by the sea tomorrow and hand them over to the superiors to deal with.

A Marine combat squad full of thirteen people, plus one Luda, that's fourteen people. Divided into four groups to take turns to watch the night, the rest of the people wait around the campfire to rest, this season is a little cold at night, blankets wrapped on the ground to sleep. As for the women, they were all in the tents. This is God's will, and they don't dare to ask if they can't look down on it.

The night passed without any surprises. At dawn, Luda, who was on the last shift in the second half of the night, informed the dark whistle to cancel and came back to sleep for a while. When I went to the creek alone to freshen up, I suddenly felt that there was someone behind me, and suddenly turned around and encountered the frightened face of an indigenous woman. These women are not very old, and when they ate with them last night, they had a little contact with each other, and they basically stayed at the level of strangers.

Luda didn't feel much about these women, especially since they didn't have any concept of hygiene at all, and they squatted down in a random corner, and the soldiers accidentally looked at the flushed face, but they didn't dare to go up and mess around, which was very torturous.

"Ellie." The woman pointed at herself and spoke. Luda slowed down, nodded and smiled, "Luda." ”

The woman pointed to his waist again, and then to herself, and Luda looked down at the dagger, and thought about pulling it out for her. After taking it, the woman showed a bright smile, stepped forward quickly, took a bite on her face with her feet, turned around and ran away. What does this mean?

When Elle returned with the dagger, she immediately caused a small commotion, and a group of young women surrounded her with envy. Feelings for the meaning of this girl. It's a token to prove that Luda has taken a fancy to herself, and she will be Luda's person from now on. I can't help but say that this girl is very thoughtful and bold. Actually, they are not to blame, as a gift to the "gods", if it is returned. It will be difficult for them to survive when they go back.

Don't say it, when these people and women saw that someone was taking the lead, they all responded, and they all walked around a group of officers and soldiers, and they didn't leave no matter what. A group of military men who did not frown in the face of life and death, but were embarrassed by a group of women who were sweating profusely. In the end, these women still "got" some "tokens", and it is more appropriate to "grab" them for their practicality. Why? When these women found that the officers and soldiers had a good attitude, the coquettish nature of the women was greatly exposed, and they didn't give tokens, right? Do it yourself.

So Luda after giving a dagger. The steel helmet on his head was also removed. In the end, these women all have a token, and the matter is over. After a morning of tossing, a new question came, these fourteen people, each with two girls behind them. One no more, one no less, all divided. It seems that these natives still have a certain arithmetic ability.

After a moment's attention, Luda sensed the smell and followed the two women who followed him. The length is the best, and the age is fourteen or fifteen years old. The problem is that there are still tasks on the body. You can't take these women on the road, can you? The squad leader Zhao Geng also found that the taste was wrong, and he felt that these women had something, just like a pet recognizing its owner.

The two got together to discuss, it was discipline not to take a woman when performing a task, let alone bring two. And this mission is still risky, they have to find out the situation of other tribes within a radius of fifty miles. Finally, a conclusion is drawn. These women don't even have a pair of shoes, and they must be a burden to carry. Send them back to the valley for a while, and we'll talk about the rest.

The question of how to communicate ultimately fell on the white-eyed wolf of the buck. This has been in contact with the expedition team for the longest time, and can now understand some simple official language. Even with the gesture, you can still continue to communicate. Luda called the goods, took out a spare pair of military boots from his backpack, handed them to him, pointed to his feet, and said, "Wear them." ”

For the colonists, there were two biggest problems, one was labor and the other was food. The colonists of the Ming Dynasty, who had a certain amount of colonial experience, attached the most importance to these two points. Only by solving these two problems can we stand on our feet and survive, and then we can be qualified to talk about the dream of making a fortune.

The Pacific Ocean is too vast, and a large number of immigrants cannot be done in one or two years, and it is impossible to have a few thousand immigrants a year, after all, not every time it can be as smooth as this trip, and the scale cannot be so large every time. Therefore, fighting for local natives is a very important source of labor. Otherwise, these natives have hit the colony base, how can they still be put back. Every officer was familiar with the information sent from above, and knew that not every tribe of the North American Native was bloodthirsty and brutal.

After hurting this tribe, they found that its scale was not small, and Li Heng and Dai Zhiyuan moved the idea of recovering it, and this was the matter of Luda personally taking a squad out to investigate. Inevitably, it must be the soldiers who are pressing the border, come over and make a vote first. All in all, the colonial invaders had nothing good, and the difference was the difference in means caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West.

Wearing big scalp shoes, the whole person of the "buck" was not good, the green tendons on the black face rose excitedly, and he almost danced on the spot to celebrate. When he was a prisoner, he was not willing to wear clothes, and then he reluctantly put them on, and refused to wear shoes. It would be estimated that there was no reverence for the expedition, but now it is different, after seeing the power of the cannon, the determination to hug the thigh is obvious. A pair of eyes are always staring at other people's shoes, and the gesture of wanting to organize closer is very clear. Now that I even put on my shoes, I naturally feel that my thighs are hugged, we are the people of the organization, and we are superior in the tribe.

The next exchange was naturally extremely hard-working, even drawing and drawing, and soon this guy got several tasks. Let people send those women back first, this is easy to do, and after these women got the tokens, they went back contentedly and waited for the next call of "God". After returning to the tribe, this goods brought the three remaining elders, and after some kneeling, he got the instructions of the gods, and decided to cooperate with the gods to act together, exterminate several surrounding tribes, and give the gods some slaves. Besides, God does not let everyone work in vain, and there are machetes and iron pots in large quantities.

Don't you really say it, this expedition came out, the ballast cargo is not a European and American cargo, it is all filled with sorghum burning large water tanks and various iron products, iron products are dense, the ballast effect is excellent, the key is cost-effective. The price of iron in the Ming Dynasty is really not high, thanks to the large-scale production of industrialization, the price of steel has been steadily decreasing.

After the exchange, the Navajo tribe did not resist God's instructions, one was that they wanted revenge and killed all the tribes that dared to sneak attack. The other is that their desire for iron tools can be fulfilled by capturing slaves.

After yesterday's battle, more than 200 slaves were captured and immediately sent to the base by the sea today. According to the price of 2 people for one piece of iron, it almost didn't make these tribal elders dizzy. Agreeing to act immediately, Luda personally took five hundred indigenous warriors and escorted the prisoners back to exchange iron tools. Zhao Geng took his subordinates and asked the bucks to lead the team, first to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, draw a map, and find the place where the dog's head gold was produced by the way. Truth be told, if you don't find a gold mine, it's not very attractive to immigrants, so this task is very important. As long as the fleet returns with dozens of tons of gold, there is no need to publicize it, and the gentry in several coastal provinces who have tasted the sweetness of opening the sea will have to go crazy and consciously and voluntarily form a group to come to North America.

After another day of rest, Luda took people back, and Zhao Geng also began to reconnoitre. On the way back, the girl named Elle didn't know how, but she quietly followed the team, and when Luda found out, the wheat-skinned girl had been walking for a long time, and there was only a slit left in Le's eyes, and she didn't go around Luda.

Okay, I had to continue to walk back, communicating along the way, and by the way, I lent a hand to Elle to count, and finally figured out that this girl was only fifteen years old. I don't have a pair of shoes! Luda had no choice but to take out a pair of cloth shoes from the old lady of the family, which were still a little big when she wore them, and stuffed a pair of socks into them to barely fit her feet.

When camping in the wilderness at night, Elle got into the tent, and her bare body was pasted up, and she was lying on her stomach like an octopus, and the thing was immediately thrown away. This girl is a little dark, she can't stand her youth, her skin is smooth and firm, and her enthusiasm is like fire.

The colonists really didn't have anything good, and as soon as they enjoyed the natives, they returned to the camp and left Ellie to the guards, and ran to the headquarters to discuss with the two bigwigs how to clean up these natives.

"After a period of observation, it is not difficult to see that these natives are still very backward. Their agricultural technology is still stuck in the era of slash-and-burn farming, and the acquisition of living materials is mainly based on safari and simple planting. The North American continent is rich in products, and life is not very stressful for them. Judging from some of their vices (cannibalism), it is not caused by a lack of food, but a deterrent need for outsiders. Another problem is wintering, when these indigenous people spend the winter, many people will freeze to death. ”

The content of Luda's report was the result of his communication with the natives. Li Heng, a guy from the eldest young master, is also a soldier with a background and his ability to harm people is very ordinary, so he naturally refuses to show ugliness and focuses on Dai Zhiyuan.

"In this way, there are three main things we need to do next, the first is ......." (To be continued......)
