ps: It has been confirmed, my wife is pregnant. (laughs)

This time is a bit busy, and I have to apply for a birth permit. I also have to go to the hospital for a check-up, and I go to a pregnancy class, and many, many other things. As my husband, I have to accompany me throughout the whole process

"Welcome to Manhattan Island to watch our tribe's military drills. I would like to express my gratitude and prepare a little wine to show my gratitude. ”

After everyone sat down one by one, Zhao Hongyu first said some greetings, and then lunch began.

Those Mohican elders took advantage of this gap in lunch to start asking Zhao Hongyu one after another.

Black Hitomi, can you provide the weapons in your hands to the Moxigan tribe?

How did you come up with the idea that arquebuses could still be used like this?

Black Hitomi, can this teach us the warriors of the Moxie tribe?

One question after another was constantly thrown to Zhao Hongyu, and these elders were waiting for his answer.

Samara was also very curious about how Zhao Hongyu answered.

He had come into contact with many white people, and he knew what kind of attitude they had towards the Mohicans.

Although a small number of arquebuses could be sold to the Indians, there were too many of them to be traded by the whites.

Samara could see that this was a kind of self-preservation for white people.

However, Samara didn't care about the arquebus before, after all, the arquebus seemed to be extremely powerful, but in fact, it was a chicken-ribbed weapon for the Indians.

It's really not as easy to use as a bow and arrow.

So, Samara didn't think much about the fact that whites would not sell arquebuses to them in large quantities.

However, now Zhao Hongyu has changed the mode of combat use of arquebuses, which has brought an incomparable shock to Samara.

If the whites had waged war with arquebuses in the same way, a mighty Mohican would have been no match for them.

In this way, the arquebus was a weapon that entered the eyes of Samara and the elders.

The purchase of arquebuses became the consensus of high-ranking people in Mohican. At the same time, they also wanted to ask Black Hitomi to teach the Mohicans how to use arquebuses in the same way.

However, Samara's concern is whether the black pupils can sell them weapons and teach them to fight with arquebuses is also a big problem.

Whoever has mastered this method of warfare will not be able to teach anyone else.

Anyway, if the Mohicans had mastered this method, they would never have given it to anyone else.

So thought the old chieftain, Samara.

It is precisely because of this that Samara is very curious, and at the same time wants to know how Zhao Hongyu will respond to these questions.

"This weapon can be sold to you, it's not a problem at all. As for the price, it will be slightly lowered by one percent compared to the price of white people, who makes us all acquaintances. ”

Zhao Hongyu first gave a satisfactory answer to the question of whether arquebuses are sold.

Sure enough, the fair and noble black pupil is still the original black pupil. He didn't change, and this was the most common reaction in everyone's minds.

In fact, they knew that the biggest reason why Zhao Hongyu started selling this ancient weapon was that his strength had grown now, and at the same time, he was no longer as weak as before.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu is not worried that these soldiers under his command who have learned the combat tactics of the 21st century will not be able to defeat these Indians.

Even if they bought an arquebus and learned to shoot in five bursts, Zhao Hongyu was still confident that he would win against them.

Without him, because he still controls the materials of gunpowder and buckshot.

So, just buying an arquebus is a fart. Without gunpowder and buckshot, it was just a bunch of burning sticks. …,

As long as he controls the sale of gunpowder and lead bullets, then even if the Mohicans buy arquebuses, Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all.

Besides, the Mohicans don't necessarily work against themselves.

As long as he does not touch the fundamental interests of the Mohicans, then he will not conflict with the Mohicans.

At the same time, through these two months of joint trade, the lives of the Mohican people have changed a lot. Today's Mohican people have significantly improved their material and spiritual lives.

The food was beautifully made and the place to stay was spacious.

They used to have to worry about food, but now they don't have to worry about it.

The current Mohican, do you want to ask him if he still wants to live the kind of life he used to have?

Then the answer you get is definitely 'no', and that's very simple.

And the main reason for such a change is because of Zhao Hongyu, because of the goods he provides.

If the Moxigan tribe had a conflict with Zhao Hongyu, the first unlucky ones would be the Moxicans. Because they can't make those goods, they can't grow rice, they can't brew two-pot heads, they can't make convenient matches, and they can't even grow cotton, sew cotton clothes, and they can't make iron weapons.

In other words, if you offend Zhao Hongyu or have any conflict with him, then what the Moxigan tribe has now will no longer exist.

This question has to be thought about clearly.

And Zhao Hongyu is also very clear, which is the second main reason why he can now sell arquebuses to the people of Mohican with confidence.

He didn't think that the people of Mohican would want to live the 'happy' life they were living in conflict with themselves.

Think about it from another angle, what if they kill themselves?

Eventually, their goods will be sold out, and when the time comes, they will have no new goods to replenish, or they will have to live the same life again in a year.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu, who controls the source of the goods, is very safe.

The Mohicans aren't idiots, they don't do that kind of brain-dead thing.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also used this drill to publicize his armed strength. Tell everyone not to have a bad idea, he is not a vegetarian either.

Weigh the two and one, even if someone has a small calculation in their hearts, they have to be dispelled now. Because the soldiers under Zhao Hongyu showed strong combat effectiveness, if there was a conflict with Zhao Hongyu, it would be impossible for him to get any benefits, and the price he needed to pay was too great.

Even if they defeated Zhao Hongyu in the end, they would not get anything in the end.

"It's okay to teach you this method of warfare, and I will teach it to the black bear, and he will train the caravan guards and the mine guards."

Zhao Hongyu even gave an answer to this question, which completely relieved the Mohican elders.

In fact, they didn't know anything about it, the black bear had taken refuge in Zhao Hongyu and became his person.

And the young warriors selected from the armed forces of Mohican controlled by the black bear are also some radicals, and they belong to the angry young existence in Mohican.

They have varying degrees of resentment towards the white people, and the black bear is trying to control both forces.

It is based on this situation that Zhao Hongyu will say the above words.

After speaking, Zhao Hongyu and his vague gave the black bear a look, and the black bear nodded knowingly.

The eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of the people around them.

Hmph, it's just some old arquebuses, even if I teach you how to shoot in five stages, it's nothing.

I'm in charge of the gunpowder and buckshot, and you'll have to judge the amount of gunpowder added, which will be in a lot of trouble if you don't pay attention. …,

Zhao Hongyu laughed secretly in his heart.

Yes, he could teach the Mohicans to learn a five-stage combo. But about the amount of gunpowder, he will not tell the other party so truthfully.

It is important to know that a qualified musketeer, in addition to being able to increase his firing speed in a short period of time. One more important thing to note is about the amount of gunpowder added.

Yes, the musketeers of Europe, the addition or medicine relied on their own experience. No one has ever given a systematic teaching to this matter at all, so this is something that Zhao Hongyu can control.

If the gunpowder is added less, the arquebus ammunition will not be able to shoot.

If you add too much, there may be a danger of exploding.

This question has always plagued the commanders and soldiers of the musketeers of the countries of the European continent.

In a battle, the musketeers need to be sane and calm in the face of a surging enemy. If you don't have a good mental quality, once you are afraid of trembling, adding a little more or less gunpowder will be troublesome.

And they need to be fast.

You can't take a few minutes to reload an ammo, then the daylily will be cold.

This problem will not be solved until the advent of paper ammunition.

Because each piece of paper ammunition is gunpowder that has been measured and packaged according to strict standards. This avoids the problem of how much or less gunpowder is filled.

You just need to tear open the oiled paper containing the ammunition, pour the gunpowder inside the paper pack into the barrel, and load it with buckshot.

It was precisely because of the advent of paper gunpowder that the combat effectiveness of the musketeers was increased.

However, it will be decades before this thing appears.

At the same time, arquebuses at that time were also improved a lot.

After receiving Zhao Hongyu's promise, the elders of Moxican were overjoyed. These old guys praised Zhao Hongyu again and again, and began to pour Moxican ecstasy soup.

How could Zhao Hongyu be fooled by them, this is simply impossible.

……

……

May 15, 1621, fine

We sailed across the endless ocean in a sea boat to a new hope.

Dozens of people died during the voyage due to harsh conditions and disease, and those who survived are still holding on.

It's been 46 days, we haven't seen the land yet, God bless us.

On the blue sea, an English three-masted Galen ship is cleaving the waves and moving westward.

A man in a shabby, scruffy linen shirt, leaky brown pants, and a beard covered in greasy stains. I was writing something in a notebook with ink-stained goose feathers on the bow of the ship.

Behind him, the crew was doing what they had to do.

A young sailor, with a red turban on his head, climbed up to the lookout standing on the main pole.

"Land! There's land ahead! ”

A voice rang out, and the somewhat lifeless ship was immediately lively.

The man at the bow of the boat, who was writing something, raised his right hand and drew a cross on his chest.

"God forbid!"
