"How did you get here?"

After Zhao Hongyu came to the black bear, the black bear asked with some doubts

The Moxican trade pair was ambushed, and all the people were killed This is a matter of the Moxigan tribe, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu. The black bear doesn't understand, what Zhao Hongyu is doing here.

"I heard something was wrong here, so I'm going to take a look."

Zhao Hongyu was followed by Wang Shan and the guards who were named genes.

"Do you know who did it?" , Zhao Hongyu asked.

The black bear nodded: "I can probably judge that it was done by the white tribe warriors who control the Virginia region." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the five corpses placed on the ground and said to Zhao Hongyu.

Virginia area?

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he muttered softly.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu had a little premonition in his heart that he was not very good about this.

If the black bear's judgment is correct, then there is a big problem here.

Virginia was so far away that he couldn't imagine that they would travel that far just to ambush the trade detachment of Mohican.

Even if it's a robbery or something, this reason doesn't make sense.

If you want to rob, why rob here in the canyon of the Akalaki Mountains. And not on the way to the southern tribes? Those trade detachments are much closer than here.

In fact, the trade pair who ambushed the Moxie tribe here, Davide was mainly trying to confuse the public. Create an illusion to confuse the Mohicans into turning enemies against the Anu or other tribes.

It would be great if the Mohicans could have a few battles with the other tribes and wear down the strength of the Mohicans.

You have to say, Davide's plan is very good.

It's a pity that Davide looked at the Indians too stupidly.

And came with him Davide. As a guide and vassal of the Indian Parn tribe under the command of the British, the warriors who died in battle leaked information on the corpses of the most rear.

Zhao Hongyu originally thought it was a matter of robbery and murder. He didn't have much to do on Manhattan anyway, so when he heard the news, he brought someone over.

But when he heard the black bear's words, he reacted that things were definitely not so simple.

"Bring their bodies back, we can't let our former companions run into the wilderness." , the black bear ordered the surrounding Mohican warriors. "Captain, what about these corpses?" , someone asked, pointing to the corpse of the Parn warrior.

"Don't worry about it, let their corpses get into the coyote's belly!"

Zhao Hongyu could see that the black bear did not eat people, and if he ate people, it was estimated that he could order the corpse of the Paan warrior. Cook and eat in a large iron pot.

"The Moxie tribe has a grudge against the Parn?"

The black bear gave the order and turned to leave. Zhao Hongyu asked in a whisper beside him.

The black bear shook his head, and at the same time showed a puzzled look.

"No, we, the Moxie Tribe, are not familiar with the Parn Ministry. They lived in white-controlled areas of Virginia, and I had heard from other tribes that the tribe had become vassals under the wing of the British. became their loyal lackey. ”

When the black bear said that the Parn Department was a vassal of the British, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhao Hongyu's mind.

Could it be that our killing of Baker was known to the British?

Could this be the revenge of the British?

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, and then shook his head.

He felt that this was unlikely to happen, because they had done a very careful job of taking out Baker. Even the place where Baker's body was buried was extremely difficult to find.

It was obviously impossible for the Mohicans who had participated in that attack to say such a thing to anyone else, because it was rumored that they knew the consequences they would face. …,

But if it weren't for Baker, then what would it be?

It would be incorrect to say that these Pahns attacked the trading ranks of the Mossi tribe without the approval of the British.

Even Zhao Hongyu could almost guess. The British were among them.

I have to say that Zhao Hongyu's guess was almost correct.

"Could it be that our killing of Baker has been exposed?"

Although Zhao Hongyu felt that it was impossible to leak this matter, he couldn't guarantee that everyone involved in this matter would not leak secrets.

The black bear shook his head: "My people will not leak secrets, and I can guarantee this with my life." ”

Zhao Hongyu was silent for a while, he felt that he should send someone out to investigate.

It's certainly not going to be that simple.

"If you can, I'd like you to send someone to the tribes south to ask. What's going on in the Virginia area lately. Perhaps we can make some judgments from the dynamics of the Virginia area. ”

For Zhao Hongyu's proposal, Black Bear is very much in favor of it.

"You're right, we should pay attention to the situation over there. The people of Paon don't come here for no reason, and after attacking our people, they have to hide their information. ”

Half a day later, they returned to the Moxigan Colony.

The bodies of the fallen Mohican warriors were transported back to the tribe.

The death of a loved one has brought grief and pain to many families. Inside the Moxigan Colony, a thick sentimental atmosphere hung over the sky.

The Mohicans set up a pyre, placed the bodies of the Mohican warriors, and then lit torches and began to burn the corpses.

They believed that the souls of these Mohican warriors would wander over the Mohican tribe to bless the Mohican and protect their loved ones.

Singing the sad Indian song, people's faces were filled with sadness.

Zhao Hongyu's heart is not a taste.

Now, though, his attention can't be on that.

Black Bear heeded Zhao Hongyu's advice and sent several groups of warriors to the Indian tribes in the south to find out the news from Virginia.

It's not something that can be fed back in a short period of time.

Zhao Hongyu said goodbye to the Moxigan tribe, and he felt that he should also be prepared to deal with the unknown crisis.

"Chief, what do you think will be the problem?"

Wang Shan, who had been following Zhao Hongyu, couldn't help but ask after returning to Manhattan Island with Zhao Hongyu.

"I don't know what the problem is, now what we can do is to prepare, and we won't have time to deal with what the problem really is."

To be honest, Zhao Hongyu really couldn't guess what the problem was behind this.

But in his heart, there was a hint of a sense of crisis.

Even if it is a rainy day, Zhao Hongyu feels that he should be careful and have some preparations.

On the island of Manhattan, Lamour and his Somali 'legion' train every day. He and Song Hu took their men to take turns to learn how to operate sailboats at sea, and those who landed on the shore could not be lazy, and the army's combat training was carried out every day.

Today is the day when Song Hu trains aboard the Mayflower. So it was Ramour and his men who conducted military training on the island of Manhattan.

Looking at Lamour not far away, shouting the Somali number and leading his men to run a long distance, Zhao Hongyu retracted his gaze.

He turned his head to Wang Shan and said, "If you can, disassemble the 8-pounder cannon on the Mayflower." As the equipment of our army, I always have a slight feeling that maybe we will be in big trouble. ”

There were a total of 18 guns on the Mayflower, none of which were of a very large caliber.

Ten 8-pounder guns, eight 10-pounder guns.

It can be said that this vitality is so weak that it is simply scum. …,

But considering the sense of crisis in his heart, Zhao Hongyu felt that the guns on the Mayflower should be dismantled and set aside.

If something really happens, these cannons can be of great use.

"Chief, there is no problem with these cannons being dismantled. But how do we move after these cannons are removed? ”

These cannons have no problem on ships, but when disassembled, they have no wheels and cannot be moved.

Although the caliber of the artillery was small, it was also very heavy.

After Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while, he confessed to Wang Shan: "Select a few carpenters from the white skin to make a rack and wheels that can be used for artillery." I know that we don't have iron rollers, so wooden wheels won't last a few days. ”

"Good chief, I have made a note. But I don't know how many cannons the leader of the Dao plans to dismantle? ”

There are a total of eighteen cannons on board, and I don't know how much Zhao Hongyu wants.

Four doors, I think it's enough.

Now Zhao Hongyu's subordinates have more than 200 people who can fight.

The main ones are Ramour and his Somali soldiers, as well as the nine guards under his command, and the thirteen veterans under Song Hu.

The Anuche warriors were to guard the captives, so they could not be counted for the time being.

The rest of the genetic people, Zhao Hongyu made up his mind to let them be farmers, so he didn't count them in the hands of the fighters.

In this way, more than 200 people should have enough guns to have four guns.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness of these more than 200 people is many grades higher than those previous genetic people.

In terms of the will to fight, it is much stronger.

"It's not enough to have cannons, we have to prepare some other weapons, we have gunpowder on hand, if we can use it."

Wang Shan's mind spun relatively quickly, and he immediately came up with an idea.

"Chief, we can make some dirt bombs. There are so many black powders, but with our own skills, we can only make bombs. ”

Well, that's a good idea.

Zhao Hongyu's eyes flashed.

"Okay, I'll leave that to you. I hope to see results in a short period of time, and you need to do this as soon as possible. ”

Wang Shan nodded and agreed.

Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan talked for a while before parting.

After Wang Shan left, Zhao Hongyu came to the beach by himself and stood there quietly.

He was silent in the face of the blue water and the waves that constantly crashed on the beach.

I hope my worries are unfounded. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) ),
