Chapter 96: Come on, I'm not afraid! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"You say the British in Virginia are mobilizing their army? And even the tribal warriors who were vassals of them were all recruited? ”
The news brought by the black bear made Zhao Hongyu's eyelids jump wildly.
"What is the reason for the British? There's no way they're going to make such a big battle for no reason. Zhao Hongyu felt that the British could not be crazy, they must be famous for doing such a big thing.
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't think of the reason.
"Do you know what the hell is going on?" , Zhao Hongyu asked.
The black bear nodded and said, "I heard from the warriors I sent out that the British intend to wage war against us in Mohican. Zhao Hongyu's expression became difficult to look at when he heard this.
"War against Mohican? What's in it for them? Is it for the land of Mohican? It was definitely not for Baker's revenge, and they didn't know about it. ”
After Zhao Hongyu got the news from the black bear, his mood became extremely bad.
Originally, he was planning to develop slowly, but now he has saved some money in hand and wants to start investing in the next few days. But all of a sudden, this thing happened, and if it didn't get it right, things would change.
Why can't my rise be smooth sailing?
"They're for that yellow stone." , the black bear said what the British really meant. These messages were obtained by the Mohican warriors from people from other tribes, and the British did not do a good job of secrecy. Many of the British conscripted Indian warriors now knew that their enemy was Mohican.
The black bear's expression was puzzled and solemn, he looked at Zhao Hongyu and said, "I really don't understand, what is the use of that yellow stone, the British would actually start a war for this thing." Originally, I just thought that only you would like this yellow stone, but I didn't think that the British were crazier than you. ”
Listening to the words of the black bear, Zhao Hongyu secretly said in his heart: Can I say that I can also start a war for the sake of gold. I can't say this to you, you don't know anything!
Of course, Zhao Hongyu would not say these words to the black bear, he could only think about it alone in his heart.
"I reckon that the purpose of the British gold is fake, and your land of Mohican is real. And we trade with the surrounding tribes, which is estimated to have caused the unhappiness of the British, after all, the furs and all kinds of materials were exchanged by the British, but now we have exchanged the resources in the hands of the surrounding tribes, and the British will not get anything, right? ”
In order for the Mohicans to participate in this war, Zhao Hongyu could not say that the British were for gold.
You must know that the gold mine in the depths of the forest belongs to Zhao Hongyu in the eyes of the Mohican people.
Because the Mohican people have no interest in yellow stones, if it weren't for Zhao Hongyu's liking of yellow stones and letting the Mohican women go there to collect yellow stones in exchange for food, no one would have paid attention to them if they wanted to come to the forest gold mine.
And the guards of the gold mine are, strictly speaking, people hired by Zhao Hongyu.
The elders of Mohican also thought that the gold mine belonged to Zhao Hongyu, and the clansmen were just working for Zhao Hongyu. And Zhao Hongyu paid the Mohican people, which is very reasonable, isn't it.
But there will be a problem, the reason why the British started war on Mohican is a gold mine. However, with the strength of Zhao Hongyu's small group, it is not easy to confront the current British, so he must let the Mohicans join in.
And the British are only here for the gold mines, which will make the Mohicans have a thought in their hearts, that is, it has nothing to do with them. …,
The elders and old chieftains of Mohican did not want war, they wanted to live in peace.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to fight with the British for the sake of Zhao Hongyu's gold mine and send the Mohicans to death.
The Mohicans don't have much to gain in this.
As for Zhao Hongyu, he didn't want to hand over the benefits of the gold mine to the British, knowing that his biggest source of income every day now is gold.
Although with the development of trade with the surrounding tribes, the consumption of daily necessities such as rice, mustard and matches by the surrounding tribes has given Zhao Hongyu a stable income, but these incomes are too small.
A stable income can only ensure that Zhao Hongyu has money to earn every day, which is one of his bottoms.
But Zhao Hongyu also needs a windfall income to allow him to buy genetic people and invest in new products in the short term.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to hand over the benefits of the gold.
At the same time, even if the benefits of the gold were handed over to him, would the greedy Britons let them go?
Obviously, this is not possible.
The Brits, who have got the gold, will not have an appetite.
At that time, their eyes will definitely be on the goods that Zhao Hongyu has in hand, so can Zhao Hongyu hand over the goods to them?
Even an idiot wouldn't do that, and Zhao Hongyu wouldn't.
So, there will be fights.
Since the battle will happen sooner or later, and it is impossible to avoid it, Zhao Hongyu simply gave up all his illusions.
But before facing the British, all he had to do was pull the Mohicans into the chariot. If you want to abandon Zhao Hongyu and reach an agreement with the British, don't even think about it.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu told the black bear that Britain did not value gold, but the land of the Mohicans.
"Black bear, do you think black bears are just for the gold mines?" Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but ask rhetorically. After the black bear was silent for a while, he shook his head uncertainly, and then said to Zhao Hongyu: "I also think that it is somewhat unlikely that the British will launch such a big movement just because of the gold mine, so what do you think is because of it, is it really our land of Mohican?" ”
Zhao Hongyu said this before, and at this time the black bear remembered.
"It's because of the land, not because of the land, what do you think it is?" , Zhao Hongyu nodded with a serious expression and said to the black bear, "Gold or something is just an excuse, so that it can create an illusion for you, so that you can relax your vigilance, right?" ”
Zhao Hongyu was talking to the black bear, and his brain was quickly turning and thinking. He had to think of a very suitable excuse to make the Black Bear think that the British were really here to deal with Mohican.
"You should understand the greedy nature of the whiteskins, they will ask for others after handing over the gold mine, and when you are all satisfied with them, then they will further squeeze the Moxie tribe."
The black bear nodded slowly.
As for the character of the white door, how could the black bear not know the way.
He has also dealt with the whiteskins a lot, and it is precisely because of his dealings that the black bear hates these whiteskins very much. And because of his son and daughter, the black bear also has a hatred for white people.
"You're right, these greedy whiteskins will never be satisfied, and the warriors I sent out have made it clear that the British are going to deal with us Mohicans." At this time, the black bear thought of the information fed back by the warriors, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Black Bear, you have to pay attention now to what the Mohican elders mean. I fear that they will probably not advocate dealing with the British, and may even think that war can be avoided by handing over the gold mines. ”…,
Zhao Hongyu pretended to remind the black bear to pay attention to this.
"There's nothing wrong with my side, although I don't have many fighters. But I'm going to fight the British to the death, and I'm not going to throw in the towel and become their slave. Listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, the black bear's face became more and more ugly. Zhao Hongyu pretended not to see the black bear's face and continued: "You should know what happened to those tribes in Virginia who were conquered by the whiteskins. ”
How could the black bear not know the truth, he really knew it all too well.
Before Zhao Hongyu came to the Moxigan Tribe, the warriors of the Moxigan Tribes would also go to the city founded by the British in Virginia once a year, where they would exchange furs and other things for British goods.
The same is true of the black bear, so he knows the situation over there.
The white-skinned Indian tribesmen worked every day in the silver mines near the city of Yaksali, Virginia, where conditions were so harsh that no one survived more than three years.
The black bear had the good fortune to see a scene of working in a silver mine, and the slaves there did not look like humans.
It was also from that time that the black bear's impression of the white-skinned people became very bad, and even disgusted.
If we hadn't resisted, would we have become like that?
The black bear felt a chill in his heart, which made him shiver involuntarily.
No! I must not allow such a thing to befall Mohican, nor can my daughter become a slave!
Seeing the black bear standing there with a cloudy face, Zhao Hongyu knew that he must have thought of something.
"Black bear, it's useless for you to be cranky now. The most important thing is to look at the decisions of the elders in the tribe, many things are not up to you and me. And the guarantee I can make to you is that I and my people can go and fight the white skins, as for you Moxican......", Zhao Hongyu paused at this point, and at the same time shook his head, and his expression can be said to be very helpless.
"It's up to the elders what you Moxi does."
The black bear didn't know what to do, and he was really a little angry about it.
"Emma and your wife are on Manhattan Island, and I can take care of their safety. So you don't have to worry, I think it's going to take a while for the British to come over. ”
Zhao Hongyu estimated that the British would have to prepare a lot for war, so it was unlikely that a war would break out in a short period of time.
So, both he and the Moxie tribe have a little time to prepare!
Hmph, the British are not easy to deal with, but Lao Tzu is not afraid! Recently, a 'new weapon' has been developed, which comes in handy!
Thinking of the 'new weapon' developed by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu's eyes flashed with a trace of hideousness. (To be continued.)
