The Indians here in San Francisco are different from the Indians in the Northeast.

There are more than 10,000 Indian tribes here, and there are many of them.

I don't know if it's because there are more prey here or what, but in short, the number of Indians here is higher than that in the eastern coastal zone.

Of course, the San Francisco area is only what Zhao Hongyu thinks, but in fact, if you really want to dig deeper, the scope of the San Francisco area is actually very large.

To the north, it could reach the later Canadian region, and in the south, it could connect to the later Mohican border.

In this era, there is no rice country to draw the borders of the states.

Therefore, the San Francisco area at this time cannot be viewed from the perspective of later generations.

Zhao Hongyu doesn't know this point.

As for Zhao Hongyu's desire to meet the elders of the Cook tribe, Xiongying had no opinion.

After all, if it were a union, he would not be able to make decisions on such a major matter alone.

So, the elders have to make a decision.

Now that the other party is here, there are no less than five or six hundred elite soldiers, which is enough to prove that what the other party said is true.

Having such a powerful united tribe is really too good for the Cook tribe.

At the very least, when there is a conflict with the Tanmo in the future, you can use these strangers, right?

However, he still knew too little about strangers, so it was very irrational to take these strangers back to the tribe recklessly.

The warriors around the other party now have exceeded the total number of warriors of the tribe.

If you take these strangers back to the tribal camp with you recklessly, if the other party has bad intentions or something, won't you be a sinner?

After thinking about it for a while, the eagle decided not to take these strangers back for the time being, but to go to the stranger's camp to check it out.

At least, the other party didn't show the slightest bit of malice now, so he should be able to take a risk and give it a try.

It cannot but be said that the eagle is careful enough. Even when Zhao Hongyu put forward a few conditions that made him unable to make a decision, and at the same time he was extremely excited, he could still make a rational judgment.

Whoever said that the Indians were simply fools, at least judging by the reaction of the eagles, they were not the kind of idiots who had no brains.

"Don't worry about the promise I made, as you think, I'm the chief of my tribe. So my commitment is the decision of the whole tribe, and I think you can rest assured of that. ”

Seeing the eagle standing there with a cloudy face, Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth and said to him.

At the end, the eagle gritted its teeth. The response said, "Thank you for your generosity and kindness, so can I go and see your camp?" ”

Zhao Hongyu rolled his eyes, and he knew what the eagle had planned.

He still appreciates the other party's caution and prudence.

Therefore, he did not feel the slightest bit unhappy, and he gladly extended the invitation.

"Yes, as a friend, I would like to invite you to my tribal camp as a guest, but we have just arrived at this place. The camp is still under construction, so there may be some places that you can't be greeted, so please forgive me first. If you're not satisfied, don't take it personally. ”

The eagle hurriedly said, "No." For the warm invitation of friends, the kind-hearted Cook people will not be so picky. ”

Then, at the signal of Zhao Hongyu, a genetic man Praetorian Guard led a war horse and walked over.

"Do you know how to ride?"

Zhao Hongyu asked curiously.

Look at the snorting horses. The eagle shook his head.

Truth be told, there are many herds of wild horses on the Great Plains, but few tribes ride this animal.

Even for most Indian tribes. These horses galloping on the grassland are also regarded by them as a kind of elf and fetish.

Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and let the Praetorian Guard soldier who was leading the horse retreat.

"Then let's go now, and I'll walk back with you."

Zhao Hongyu smiled and walked to the side of the eagle, and then began to lead the way.

Because of the language plug-in, there is no problem at all for Zhao Hongyu and Xiongying to communicate, and there is no obstacle at all.

Even, he can even say a sentence or two about the slang of the Cook people.

That's where the power of language plug-ins comes in.

It is important to know that many times the conflicts and misunderstandings between people in the world often occur in the language barrier.

Good intentions are understood as hostility, and malice is seen as good intentions.

In the course of the conflict, the two sides are unable to communicate effectively, or even if they do, they will not be able to convey the meaning, which will make the conflict more intense and worse.

However, after Zhao Hongyu has a language plug-in, all this will be greatly avoided.

Effective communication allows anyone to know what he's talking about and express the most direct meaning.

Unless the other party communicating is inherently malicious, there will generally be no conflict.

The eagle followed Zhao Hongyu at his beckoning.

But his hands were raised and he made a few quick gestures when he was inadvertent.

The meaning of this gesture is actually to tell the companions who are hiding in the place that they are going to visit the other party's camp, and at the same time ask them to return to the tribe as soon as they leave to inform the tribal elders of the situation here.

Of course, these strangers have no ill will for the time being, and they still want to tell the elders and the clansmen about this very friendly matter.

Zhao Hongyu, who saw the eagle making a gesture, just smiled, and did not ask or stop.

"The weapons your warriors wear are very strong and sharp, I wonder if you will trade with us if we really unite and trade at the same time?"

In the vocabulary of the Indians, there is no such thing as buying and selling.

The Indians in the east also learned about the Tao after a long period of contact with the Europeans.

But compared with the compatriots on the eastern coast, the Indians on the western coast are much more primitive.

Moreover, they had no contact with Europeans, so it was impossible for them to know what it meant to buy and sell.

As for what Zhao Hongyu said about carrying out trade, it was also after Zhao Hongyu's explanation that the eagle had a general understanding.

In the eagle's opinion. Isn't trading just exchanging things for things?

The eagle is no stranger to this matter.

Many times, the warriors of the Cook tribe, in the fall, would also carry a large amount of fur to the Great Plains to find some tribes and exchange them for some supplies they needed.

Therefore, when Hongyu was asked to say this, this is trade.

Buying and selling, the eagle has no such concept.

Therefore, he thinks that it is only right that it should be exchanged.

And. The winners of the western coast also have no concept of currency.

At this point, they were much behind the Indians of the East Coast.

However, this cannot be blamed on the Indians of the western seaboard, who allowed the Indians of the eastern coast to come into contact with Europeans for more than a hundred years.

But the Indians on the western coast have never been in contact with it.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu thought about it and replied: "There should be no problem, our weapons are made of iron, which are much stronger than wooden weapons like yours." At the same time, it should not be damaged. ”

Zhao Hongyu beckoned a genetic warrior who was following him and asked him to hand him his machete.

The Gene Man soldier pulled out the machete from his waist and handed it over.

Zhao Hongyu took it in his hand, and then handed it to the eagle.

Previously. Although the eagle had seen the machete of the leader of the genetic squad, he didn't look very carefully.

Now, Zhao Hongyu has given him a chance to really feel the iron weapon.

Bite!

The eagle cocked the blade of the machete. It emits a sound peculiar to ironware.

Then, when the eagle passed by a large tree, he brandished his machete and slashed at the trunk several times.

"Hmm. It's a very good weapon, if it were cut on a person's body, I guess even an arm would be cut off. ”

The eagle is very satisfied with the power of the machete.

His eyes were full of reluctance, and he could see that he was a little reluctant to return the machete to Zhao Hongyu.

This can't be blamed on the eagle, none of the Indian tribes on the west coast have ever seen iron tools.

They used wooden weapons such as spears, blow arrows, and bows.

In any case, wooden weapons are always much worse than iron weapons.

This is nothing more than an eagle who has seen an iron machete, and he will like it so much and be reluctant.

"Swap furs, such a machete can be exchanged for at least three bear skins or thirty-six beaver skins, I don't think you have any problem with such an amount of exchange."

Zhao Hongyu told the eagle a small way to exchange weapons in the future, as well as the quantity.

After thinking about it, the eagle nodded and said to Zhao Hongyu: "It's a fair exchange, I think you still have a little loss." This weapon is very sturdy and can be used for a long, long time. Except for bear skins and beaver skins, is it not possible to use other animal skins? ”

First of all, the eagle affirmed the way to exchange iron weapons, and at the end he asked a small question.

Yes, the eagle heard a little bit of the problem in Zhao Hongyu's words, that is, Zhao Hongyu only said that he would exchange bear skins and beaver skins, but as for other animal skins, he didn't say it.

Therefore, the eagle wondered, did the other party just need these two kinds of furs?

San Francisco is home to dense forests and an abundance of wildlife.

Brown bears, in San Francisco at this time, are also very numerous.

Beavers, in an era when they were still being hunted devastatingly, also had considerable numbers on the east and west coasts.

So, the Eagle doesn't think it's a big problem.

It's just that it's going to be more troublesome.

It would be better if other skins were needed, wouldn't it?

"You can't ask for the skins of marmots and coyotes, and squirrels or something." , Zhao Hongyu was in a good mood and made a joke with the eagle.

The eagle laughed too. (To be continued......)
