"I just heard you guys talk, it seems that everyone is inclined to negotiate with the white skins, right?"

In the face of Samara's questioning, the elders were silent, which made Samara's heart unhappy.

After a while, one of the elders replied, "We have no conflict with the whites, and we in Mohican are getting better and better, and there is no need for war." I thought that the whiteskins might have misunderstood us, but if we explained it clearly, we should have avoided war. ”

As soon as the elder opened the conversation, the others began to chim.

"Chief, Kachia is right. We don't have to clash with the whiteskins, we want to avoid war. At the same time, it also prevents the women of Mohican from losing their husbands and the children from their fathers. Now that our lives are getting better and better, we don't want war. ”

A fat elder who was sitting next to the elder who had just spoken, said.

Next, many elders expressed their opinions. Their meaning is very clear, that is, no war, but peace.

Originally, such an idea was also good.

After all, most people want peace, and who can love war.

But Samara saw a lot of things clearly, and the elders didn't see the link behind it. At the same time, Samara also knew the mentality of these elders, although they said that they wanted peace or something, in fact, their truest idea was that they could live in peace and enjoy the good life they were living now.

To put it bluntly, they are a little afraid of war, especially with the whiteskins.

After the elders had finished saying a word, Samara spoke: "Everyone is done, if no one has proposed anything better, then I will give my own opinion." His gaze slowly swept over everyone, and the elders who advocated negotiating with the whiteskins were swept away by this gaze, and they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Ignoring the twisted elders, the old leader Samara cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, since everyone is not talking about it, then let me talk about my opinion." "First of all, everyone's intentions are very good, and no one is wrong to hope for war, but you still don't look at this issue comprehensively, because this time we have no way out in Mohican. ”

Samara first named one point, that is, this time there is no escaping the incident of Mohican, and the meaning of his words is so obvious.

How can it be!

No, the leader wants to go to war with the whites!

Hey, that's what the leader means......

Everyone is not stupid, who can not understand Samara when he says this.

Ignoring the whispering elders, Samara continued, "First of all, I would like to say that our Moxi tribe has had a great influence on the surrounding tribes since they joined forces with the Song tribe to trade. Of course, the benefits of our Moxie tribe are naturally the greatest, and everyone knows this. ”

What does this war have to do with their trade in Mohican, the elders looked at Samara with some confusion.

Of course, there were also wiser elders who began to ponder carefully when they heard Samara say this.

"Everybody knows that white people are also in business. Originally, we Indians didn't have many goods, so the whites could often use their goods to exchange them for furs and other things that we didn't value, right? ”

Samara seduced the crowd step by step, bringing them into her own story little by little.

"Originally, we could only do business with white people, so we could still live peacefully with white skins. After all, at that time, the whiteskins fought against us, which would have a great impact on their income, and even when the war spread, they would not be able to trade for a long time. ”…,

As Samara spoke, everyone nodded slowly.

"But now it's different, since the Song tribe settled on Manhattan Island and formed an alliance with us to provide goods, now many Indian tribes have one more option, and that is to trade with our Moxigan tribe." Samara said the point, "And we Mohicans trade fairly, and there is never fraud, which is much better than the whites." ”

"At the very least, the goods we trade with other tribes are useful. Rice, mustard and mustard, iron pots and wooden dishes, are more useful than the things that the whiteskins use to exchange furs with us. ”

Yes, the white people of this era, who basically did business with the Indians on the American continent, used some useless things to deceive the Indians.

So, these words of Samara are not bad at all.

"So, the business of the whiteskins is not doing well, and those tribes are willing to do business with us instead of the whiteskins. But this is not a good thing for the whiteskins. Samara expressed his views to everyone, and many people thought so.

"Think about it, what the whiteskins came to our land from the other side of the sea. I think everyone knows better than I do, it's a bunch of greedy and shameless guys, and you won't object to me saying that. ”

The black bear spoke at this time: "Yes, the white skins are here for profit. Now that we, the Moxigan tribes, have snatched their interests, they want to start a war to defeat us and regain their interests. ”

Samara nodded at the black bear, and then said, "You are wrong black bear, the interests do not belong to anyone." It's not white-skinned, it's not us Mohicans, it's just because we're fair, that the tribes approve of us. ”

The black bear touched the back of his head.

"This is only one of the reasons, the second reason is that our Moxigan tribe has become strong through trade, which makes the whiteskins a little panicked, so they have to come and completely defeat us or even exterminate us while our Moxigan tribe is not yet fully strong to give them peace of mind." , Elder Samara broke another big news.

All of a sudden, the faces of those elders weren't very good-looking.

Because by Samarra's description, the elders are almost certain that this is the case.

Although they didn't think of these two things, Samara thought of them.

A powerful Moxie tribe is a great threat to the Whiteskins. So they don't want to see the Mohicans strong, so defeating the Mohicans before they are strong is in line with speculation.

"I don't know if you noticed it, the population of Moxican has increased a lot during this time." , Samara asked.

The elders all looked at me, I looked at you, and then it was the black bear who answered the question.

"The chief is right, many small tribes have recently joined the Mohicans and become part of the Mohicans. And this trend is becoming more and more obvious, and there are more and more tribes with such ideas. Every time a trade party returned, they would convey the wishes of the tribes. ”

Ooh!

There is such a thing, he actually wants to give up his tribe and join the Moxie tribe.

These elders didn't care about these things at all, so it wasn't surprising that they didn't know what to do.

"Why do those people want to join Mohican?" Someone questioned him, and he really couldn't figure out why anyone would do this.

After motioning for the black bear to sit down, Samara explained: "The reason is very simple, we Mohican are strong and can give them a better life. If he was a Mohican, then he wouldn't need to exchange more furs for a lot of goods, which could be considered a benefit. ”…,

When explaining these words, Samara's mind thought of Zhao Hongyu, who had made him pay attention to this.

He couldn't have imagined that this thing would actually happen, and it would happen so quickly.

When Zhao Hongyu reminded him, Samara didn't believe it very much.

Who knows, now it's come true.

But there are people who want to join the Moxigan tribe, and that's a good thing for the Moxican.

After all, the increase in the number of clansmen also proves that the tribe has become stronger.

The population is on the American continent, but it represents the characteristics of a tribe that is strong or not.

"You can think about it, if the surrounding tribes join Mohican in the future, will Mohican become a huge tribe?" Samara's tone slowly became serious. "How many warriors will a population of 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000 have?"

Hiss!

The elders gasped, frightened by the tribal outlook depicted by Samara.

Yes, now Mohican has a population of more than 10,000 people, and they already feel that it is amazing. They could not have imagined and did not dare to imagine how terrible it would be for Mohican to have a population of two or three hundred thousand.

"If Mohican has a population of 300,000, then it is still okay to casually pull out fifty or sixty thousand warriors. And how many whiteskins are there in Virginia? Samarra drew the crowd to the point, "Excluding the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there are less than 10,000 warriors of the whiteskins, unless their men, women, and children can fight. “

"So they are afraid, afraid of our strength and rise, and are bound to destroy us before we rise in Mohican." Samara sat there with a painful face.

For a while, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was quiet and weird.

Suddenly, I don't know who Lu Dao muttered in a low voice: Then don't start trading, let the Song tribe trade with Baipi, so that Baipi can not go to war.

Who is it! Who said this?

After hearing this whisper, Samara asked in a loud voice with a fierce face.

Well, all the elders looked at one person.

Staring at the elder, Samara had the heart to kill him.

"Are you willing to give up your current life?"

Samara didn't say anything, he just asked lightly.

O all-pervading god, of course I don't want to give up such a life.

The elder replied.

Samara gritted his teeth and said to him: "Since you are not willing to give up your current life, don't talk that kind of in the future." You must know that you can live this life now, but it is all because of the alliance with the Song tribe, and for the sake of their goods. ”

Belch!

The elder sat dumbfounded, and the other elders looked at him with contemptuous contempt and contempt in their eyes.

Compared with the previous life and the present, it is simply a heaven and a place.

It is easy to enter luxury by inspection, but it is difficult to enter by luxury.

If you let the elders who are used to eating fragrant rice and shredded vegetables and pork continue to live like before, they will definitely not like it.

Who wants to eat meat every day until they vomit?

"Prepare for battle with all your might, and give up those useless illusions. The whiteskins will definitely not let us go, and there are few things about the rise of the once powerful tribe being defeated by the whiteskins. They will not see that there are Indians who become strong because they are afraid. ”

Samara made a decision after the worst of the time.

Of course, he is the leader, and although he makes decisions, it is up to the elders to vote. This is not a small matter, but it is a big event about war.

In the end, Samara's proposal was approved, much to the relief of the black bears in attendance. …,

What he feared most didn't happen, which made him feel so much more comfortable.

The decisions made by the leaders and elders were quickly communicated, and the Mohican war machine began to spin.

Because the white skin united many vassal tribes, as well as other tribes that were friendly with Lu. So the Mohicans were not to be outdone and informed the other tribes of friendship to prepare for war.

When the decision of the Black Bear Bar Moxie dry tribe was told to Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu was also very happy.

Because of the addition of the Moxie tribe, Zhao Hongyu has a much better chance of dealing with the British.

After informing Zhao Hongyu's Black Bear that the Mohican warriors had left, Zhao Hongyu returned to his residence and called Wang Shan to wait outside without disturbing anyone.

Wang Shan knew that the leader of his own family was going to use the space-time trader.

Regarding what happened in Virginia, Wang Shan, Song Hu and Zhang Tie all knew about it.

Therefore, Wang Shan was not surprised at all that Zhao Hongyu wanted to use the space-time trader, because he knew that the leader of the Dao Dao had to make some preparations before the battle.

It's just that I don't know if the leader of the Dao wants to increase his manpower, or if he starts making flintlock pistols?

It has been three days since Zhao Hongyu's last investment failed, and the funds on hand have reached 18 million.

You must know that Lu Dao now has an income of more than one million a day, plus more than four million left before. So there are 18 million in bits and pieces.

Chen Zhenbang needed 10 million and 3 million himself before he could start investing in the establishment of a flintlock pistol manufacturing den.

Originally, there was nothing to do with the abundant funds, but now in the face of the threat of the British in Virginia, should the money be invested?

Perhaps, it is the best choice to cultivate more people.

Zhao Hongyu began to weigh it quickly and seriously. (。
