Chapter 29: You Are a Noble Man
"I knew you were coming to me, and my hunch was always accurate. Strictly speaking, I think I'm gifted as a tribal wizard rather than a warrior. When Zhao Hongyu found the black bear, the black bear, which was originally very stereotypical in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, actually made a rare little joke, although this joke was not very funny.
Zhao Hongyu left his 'yurt' and came to the black bear's tent, he walked straight to the black bear and sat down cross-legged, and sat down with the black bear's not so funny self-deprecation.
After sitting down, Zhao Hongyu didn't say what he meant immediately, but measured it around.
"What about your wife and little Emma?" When he saw that the black bear's wife Para and Emma were missing in the tent, he asked in a low voice.
"Women can't be there when men are talking about serious things. I've sent them out of the way, and I think the less people we have to talk about it, the better. There was an inexplicable glint in the black bear's eyes, and Zhao Hongyu's heart sank.
It seems that I must not think that the Indians are all fools, although they are all simple, this does not mean that they are idiots, they are people who can be fooled.
After a short conversation with the black bear, Zhao Hongyu felt that he should show more sincerity to the Indians in the future. It's a real-life encounter, not a novel.
"The reason I'm here this time is simple, the Englishman seems to have taken a fancy to that kind of stone. Although they didn't come to an agreement with the Moxie tribe, I don't think they would give up like that. Zhao Hongyu asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the black bear nodded and said, "Yes, your guess is very accurate. I still know a lot about these white-skinned personalities, and they will do anything to get what they want, and we Indians have always despised them. When the black bear said this, the expression on his face was very disgusted.
"Last summer, these whiteskins took a fancy to the foothills of a tribe near the Akaraki Mountains and wanted to trade them down. But the other party did not agree, and as a result, the other tribes were instigated by the white door to destroy and exterminate the tribe. This kind of thing has always been the specialty of the white-skinned, and the white-skinned still got what they wanted after the worst of the best. ”
The Black Bear told about an incident that happened last year, which also proves the fact that the whiteskins are unscrupulous. At the same time, he also told Zhao Hongyu that the whiteskins were very fond of the 'stone' found by Emma and were very interested in it.
"I can understand that tribe, after all, it is the home of the sound of life, how can it be given to these white skins. It's just that the methods used by these white-skinned people are really outrageous. When Zhao Hongyu heard this, of course he knew what kind of dirty things had happened, so he followed the words of the black bear.
The black bear looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said, "Then do you have any ideas!" ”
Zhao Hongyu said: "Kill these people, you must not let this kind of stone thing spread, at least not in a short period of time." Zhao Hongyu said categorically.
"You can't do anything to them in the tribe, and the fewer people who know the way, the better. And I can't use too many people, although the people in the tribe don't have a good opinion of the whiteskins, but most of them don't want to be bad with the whiteskins. ", the black bear said about the situation on his side.
"There are thirty-five people on the other side, and sixteen people on my side. I'm not going to attack them head-on, but to surprise them. Zhao Hongyu then said his plan.
"I can help you, but what's in it for me?" It's okay to help you, but it's always good. Indians are not stupid, this truth has been true since ancient times.
Although Zhao Hongyu saved Emma, the only daughter of the black bear, the black bear also gave Zhao Hongyu a lot of help. For example, in the case of Manhattan Island, the black bear said a lot of good things about the old leader. Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu would not have been able to get Manhattan Island so easily. …,
Regarding this matter, Zhao Hongyu had already learned about it from Atido.
"Do you know that this kind of stone is of no use to you? But it is of great use to my tribe, and I can exchange it with our tribe's things, and the price is guaranteed to satisfy you. ”
Zhao Hongyu knew that gold was very useful to him. As long as you grasp this gold mine, you can make a qualitative leap in the future.
And when you eat meat, you always have to give each other some soup to drink, so that you can envelop the Mohican people.
This idea has long been formed in Zhao Hongyu's heart.
It's just that the black bear asked just now, and Zhao Hongyu answered him.
And the benefits that Zhao Hongyu just said are not about the Moxi tribe, but "you", that is, the black bear himself.
Then, Zhao Hongyu said how many 'stones' could be exchanged for what iron weapons and other goods, and the black bear nodded slowly.
Yes, the price given by Zhao Hongyu was very fair, which made the black bear feel excited.
Among them, in particular, Zhao Hongyu is only responsible for the acquisition, and the way to turn that mineral area into his own is even more satisfying to the black bear.
According to Zhao Hongyu's way, it is equivalent to asking the black bear to gather the people of the tribe to mine gold in the gold-rich forest. Then take it to Zhao Hongyu in exchange for what they need, which is much better than going hunting.
The black bear became the manager and owner of the golden area, and he had the right to protect the place, because it involved his own interests.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu took such a way is also something that there is no way to do.
First of all, he had to win over the Mohicans, so he couldn't use the methods of the whites, and use dirty means to seize the golden mile.
What's more important is that Zhao Hongyu simply doesn't have enough manpower on hand.
Fifteen people, it is obviously unrealistic to manage that gold vein, let alone protect it.
Black Bear, on the other hand, is the most powerful figure in the Moxie tribe after the leader and wizard. Especially when he is still an Indian 'angry youth', he is very uninterested in white people.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu did not have to worry at all, that piece of ore vein would be seized by the white people after the most sloppy thing.
At the same time, the black bear is quite powerful, and with his ability, he can completely protect that area, which is stronger than Zhao Hongyu.
After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Hongyu chose such a way.
But no matter what, Zhao Hongyu will never suffer.
Fifty grams of gold can be exchanged for ten iron axes, or a hundred packets of mustard...... and so on.
And how much is 50 grams of gold, how much is 10 iron axes or 100 packs of mustard, this is simply the price of cabbage. What Zhao Hongyu earned was definitely a huge profit, and he didn't lose at all.
Besides, that forest area was already within the power of the Mohicans, and if he wanted that area, it would leave a bad impression in the hearts of the Mohicans, and then have a great impact on the future.
He wouldn't do this kind of brain-dead thing.
Since there are huge profits, and it can also leave a good impression on the other party, why not do such a good thing.
Besides, with Zhao Hongyu's current strength, he is really not enough.
If Zhao Hongyu had 10,000 people under his command now, this gold vein would not have been given up no matter what, even if it was a Mohican.
He decided to stay in control, because it was a big 'ATM'.
"You're saying I'm going to give it all this trade!?"
The black bear who was nodding suddenly came to his senses, he heard the meaning of Zhao Hongyu's words, and immediately reacted. …,
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that place was discovered by Emma, so strictly speaking, it should belong to Emma." So there's nothing wrong with handing it over to you, after all, you're Emma's father, aren't you? Zhao Hongyu said a passable excuse.
"You're a noble man, Black Hitomi!"
The black bear looked at Zhao Hongyu very sincerely and said.
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand, "Let's solve the problem of those white-skinned people talking about this matter in front of us." He reminded the black bear that this is not the time to say this.
The two then deliberated and decided on the location of the ambush for Baker and his party and the men to be dispatched by Black Bear.
Driven by interests, the black bear showed unprecedented enthusiasm. He patted his chest and assured Zhao Hongyu that he could dispatch thirty Mohican warriors and would definitely make Baker disappear into the area.
Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with this, forty-five people against thirty-five people. In the era of cold weapons, there is an absolute chance of victory.
"Without further ado, you go and gather your men now, and when these whiteskins leave the tribe, we'll start moving." After deciding everything, Zhao Hongyu instructed the black bear.
The black bear nodded and left his tent.
Zhao Hongyu also returned to his 'yurt'.
On the other hand, when they came to Moxie and Baker's party, they hadn't noticed the slightest abnormality. They didn't know it at this moment, and the Grim Reaper had already set its sights on them......
In the middle of the night, Baker's guards who had been overturned by the second pot head woke up one by one, and the hangover was not pleasant at all. The feeling of secretly cracking makes people feel as if there are countless sledgehammers constantly hitting their heads.
"Damn it, you guys, get up quickly, let's get out of here now."
After seeing the guards get up one by one, Baker whispered to everyone.
"Hey, Mr. Baker, let's just get up. Are you really sure you want to travel in the middle of the night? One of the guards complained reluctantly, with a pale face.
Complaining is complaining, but at Baker's urging, everyone got up and packed their bags, and then left the Moxigan tribe under the instructions of the leaders of the guards.
"Everything is done, after leaving the Moxigan Tribe, we can know where the gold vein is located."
Kax, the deputy leader of the mercenary team who went to spy on little Emma, walked over with a sack on his shoulder and whispered to Baker.
Baker glanced meaningfully at the sack on Kax's shoulder, then glanced around at the quiet Moxie Dry Tribe, a hideous look on his face.
