Chapter 93: Why?
"Oh, what good way do you have to give those natives the benefits that are appealing?"
Seeing Davide's confident look, Governor Simmons asked.
Davide bowed slightly, and then spoke: "There are a lot of novelties in the Moxie dry area, I've seen them, and they're all very good. Even we in England can't make it, so I conclude that there must be some skilled craftsmen in the Moxie dry region. ”
In Davide's mind, he already had a comprehensive plan, and he was still very competent as a military official compared to a civilian governor.
Simmons nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I saw those goods, they are very ingenious." Matches are even more convenient, and the transparent wine is also very strong, and many people like it very much. ”
Because of Mohican's trade, some goods have made their way to Virginia and are becoming very popular.
Therefore, Simmons and Davide also know a little bit about Mohican goods.
"We can promise the Indians that these craftsmen will be given to them as slaves. I don't think they would refuse such a benefit. Davide laughed sinisterly, "As far as I know, in fact, many tribes covet this commodity of Moxican, but because the Moxican tribe is too powerful, they suppress greed in their hearts. ”
For those indigenous mentality, Davide has always been in control.
From time to time, he would talk to some Indians and get some information from them.
Although Davide was very hypocritical, the Indians did not know what he was going to do.
"At the same time, we can tell them that we can contract the gold mining to them once the mines are captured. Let them be responsible for finding people to dig for gold, and we will not care whether they are from their tribe or slaves. At the same time, we can also share a part of the gold profits to them, so that they have no reason not to sell their lives. ”
When Simmons heard this, he knew what Davide was planning and what was sinister.
"Hey, hey, good plan. These natives are used to working with gold and silver, so they will also care about gold mines. And outsourcing the gold digging to them can also solve the problem of the workers. They would wage war against other tribes in order to capture large numbers of slaves, which would weaken them. Simmons smiled at Davide.
"And it doesn't matter if the gold is distributed to them, we should be raising pigs. When they are fattened and weak, we can take back even what we have earned. And these booty do not have to be handed over to the country, but are completely our own. ”
That's just a few.
So, Simmons gave Davide an appreciative look.
"Davide, you're smart. I should report it to my king, and perhaps you should have a higher position and title, so that you can use your ingenuity better. ”
Davide hurriedly bowed down and responded modestly.
Simmons didn't say this on a whim, he thought far ahead.
When they did defeat the Mohicans and take possession of the gold mines, he could predict that he would most likely be transferred out of his position as governor.
In the face of such a big profit in the gold mine, those greedy people in the country will definitely move on to the wind.
So, the governor will definitely be replaced.
All he had to do now was to take precautions, draw David to his side, and ensure his own interests.
The two talked again, and Davide took his leave.
Now Davide still has a lot of work to do, and he has to move some Indian tribes in ten days. Let them send warriors to join the army of the British and go together against the Mohicans. …,
The city of Yaksari is still so noisy and lively, and people still don't know what to do. In the Mid-levels Governor's Palace in the heart of the city, a plan for war had been made.
A large storm loomed over the Virginia area, but an even bigger storm was brewing.
These people don't know anything about these things.
Over the next few days, the inhabitants of the city of Yaksari discovered that there were many more Indian tents on the outskirts of the city.
And on the streets of the city, more and more Indians appeared.
These Indians were all strong and vigorous, which made many British residents notice that something was wrong.
It took Davide only five days to move the surrounding Indian tribes who had good relations with them.
As for the Indian tribes under the protection of the British, they were thrilled when they learned of the great interest.
In addition to the Indians gathering in Yaksaly, militias recruited from other settlements in Virginia also arrived and were stationed on the outskirts of the city.
The arrival of so many people made the merchants of the city of Yaksari laugh.
Even those female branch girls have a good income.
However, with so many people, the consumption of food is a little stressful.
However, Simmons didn't care about these pressures, and these losses were nothing compared to the benefits that were about to be reaped.
It's just that the security of the city has not been very good recently, and the Indians and militia have brought great disharmony to the security of the city.
It seems that these people have to be pulled out as soon as possible.
Simmons looked at the documents submitted by his subordinate civil officials, and a trace of helplessness bloomed on his face-
Dividing Line –
"It's our people, there's nothing wrong with that."
Just as the British were gathering their army in the city of Yaksali, where the Mohican trading team was killed in the valley of the Akalachic Mountains, the black bear looked at the corpses with a slightly distorted expression, and his cheeks twitched from time to time.
"Captain, there's another kid over there, but he's died so badly."
A Mohican warrior came to the side of the black bear and reported that because the black bear was now the leader of the trade group's escort, under Zhao Hongyu's explanation, the Mohican warriors all called the black bear the captain.
Although Black Bear didn't understand what 'captain' meant, he accepted the title with peace of mind.
"Who did it? Anu people? Or is it a Paklay? ”
The black bear's pupils flashed with a murderous light, and he wanted to kill now.
But the problem is that he doesn't know who the enemy is, so he must control his anger and not let it mess with his thinking.
He had to think about it carefully and see if he could find some clues.
His own people can't just die, he wants to find the real murderer and take revenge.
"Everyone be careful and see if they can find any clues nearby. These companions are still waiting for us to avenge them, and we need to find the murderer! ”
The black bear suppressed the anger rising in his heart and tried his best to give rational orders.
On the opposite side of the Akaraki Mountains is the territory of the Anu and Paklay peoples. The Mohicans have been trading with each other since they started trading.
The black bear couldn't think of it, if it was the matter of these two tribes sitting down, then why would they do it?
Could it be true that as Zhao Hongyu said, an attack and robbery of property occurred for the sake of unearned gains?
But the problem is that if these two tribes did it, then he has to come up with evidence. Otherwise, his own speculation alone would not be convincing.
After all, if you want to start a war of revenge against other tribes, you must go through the approval of the elders. …,
If the elders are to be persuaded to agree to revenge, the black bear must come up with convincing evidence.
But the problem is that it doesn't make sense to say that the Anu or Pakle people did this, because the Anu and Pakele people told Mohican about this trade party.
The Mohicans traded through the valley of the Akaraki Mountains, and the Anu and Pakelay would also trade through this valley to the Mossigan tribe.
If these two tribes had done such a thing, they would not have been able to tell the Mohicans about the trade forces.
Therefore, it is still a bit arbitrary to judge that these two tribes are the murderers.
But if it wasn't for these two tribes, who would it be?
Black Bear really couldn't figure out which tribe of Mohican would ambush their trade party in the gorge of the Akalaki Mountains.
While Black Theo's Obno was thinking hard, the men in charge of collecting the corpse finally found out.
A Mohican warrior noticed that the ground beneath his feet was a little soft and kicked him a few times.
The kick didn't matter, the shallow layer of soil was kicked away, and one arm was exposed.
"Captain, here's a discovery!" When the Mohican warrior found the arm, he immediately cried out loudly. The other Mohican warriors around him surrounded him.
Hearing this, the black bear also walked over quickly, "What did you find?" ”。
"Look, Captain, there are a few corpses here. It seems to have been hastily buried here, and it is likely that this is the corpse of the enemy who attacked our trading caravan. ”
The Mohican warrior crouched on the ground, his hands tugging at the layer of soil, slowly digging out the loose soil that buried the corpse with his palms.
The black bear also crouched down and looked carefully at the corpse that had been dug out of the soil.
As the Mohican warriors excavated, five bodies were dug up and placed neatly on the ground.
The corpses had bald sideburns on either side of their foreheads, and only a strand of black hair in the middle of their heads.
At the same time, these corpses have cyan tattoos on their bodies.
The black bear's facial muscles twitched, and he recognized the tattoo and the bald sideburns.
"This is the warrior of the Parn tribe, how can their corpses end up here?" The black bear could almost conclude that it was these people who attacked the Mohican trading caravan.
It's just that he has some strange feelings in his heart, how could the tribes in the white-controlled areas of Virginia come here to ambush their Mohicans?
The black bear was thinking about it, and at the entrance of the canyon to the east, there was also a group of people rushing this way. He looked up and saw that it was Zhao Hongyu and his men. (To be continued.)
