Looking at Chief Jeronimo with a sincere and expectant expression, Chen Mo nodded lightly.

"Since you have the heart to cling to, then I will accept you, from now on, you will be my subordinates, serve me, and your tribe will also be protected by me!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

"Call me boss."

……

After accidentally saving and subduing the Lakota tribe, Chen Mo's fur acquisition and beast training plan changed.

As native to the Missouri bushes, the Lakota tribe has lived in the forest for generations, and is familiar with the entire vast jungle, and they know where each Indian tribe is.

Therefore, Chen Mo simply handed over the work of purchasing fur to them.

The total population of the Lakota tribe is more than 300 people, and although the most elite warriors are only more than 50, the remaining teenagers, middle-aged and even elderly people actually have good combat effectiveness, even if it is a woman, they dare to fight with wild beasts with spears, and the accuracy of hunting prey with bows and arrows is not much worse than that of ordinary warriors.

Therefore, after learning about the situation of the Lakota tribe, Chen Mo divided fifty elite warriors and fifty young tribesmen into ten teams, a total of 100 people, and went to trade furs with the Indian tribes.

They are more familiar with the conditions and roads in the forest than the armed acquisition team of the American Fur Company, and they can travel much faster through the forest, and with the strong physical strength, strength and endurance that have been cultivated by years of hunting, they can carry more supplies and furs.

Moreover, because the location of the Lakota tribe is located in the Missouri jungle, although it is not the central location, but it is also in the depths of the jungle, the distance to other tribes is much closer than the acquisition team of the American Fur Company, and the time to go back and forth is shortened many times, so the acquisition efficiency of these ten teams composed of Native Americans can almost be compared with the acquisition team of thousands of people in the entire American Fur Company, and they can basically eat the entire Missouri fur trade.

It's just that once these personnel are dispatched, the defense of the Lakota tribe will become extremely empty, except for these hundred people, most of the remaining people in the tribe are women, children, and middle-aged and elderly people.

Although these people also have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, if they really encounter the attack of the large forces of the American Fur Company, they will definitely not be their opponents.

However, this was not a problem for Chen Mo, who had enough muskets in his hands to equip the Lakota tribe.

Previously, they had killed more than a dozen armed men of the American Fur Company, as many as 100 people, and in addition to seizing a large amount of trade materials and furs, they also collected more than 100 muskets.

However, these muskets are relatively old and backward flintlock guns, and the shooting speed is very slow, and the whole shooting process takes more than 30 seconds.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not intend to equip the Lakota tribe with these backward rifles.

In Chen Mo's space, there are actually hundreds of the most advanced Springfield M1842 front-loading firing smoothbore guns.

The M1842 rifle was the first front-loading musket rifle equipped by the U.S. military, and before that, the U.S. military used the same flintlock pistol as the armed personnel of the American Fur Company.

The ammunition used in the M1842 musket is a paper shell bullet with 8.0g of black powder and a round projectile mass of 31.3g, which is packed in a paper bag for every 10 rounds.

When loading, the bottom end of the bullet is first bitten through the mouth and the gunpowder at the bottom of the bullet is poured into the barrel from the muzzle, and then the projectile wrapped in a paper case is loaded from the muzzle and pressed against the gunpowder with a pusher lever.

After that, place the firing cap on the bottom fire socket and set the gun to be ready to fire to aim and fire.

After practice, this operation process only takes 15~20s.

Don't look at it, it only shortens the firing time by more than ten seconds, if you face up to the armed personnel of the American Fur Company equipped with flintlock pistols, these ten seconds are enough for them to occupy an absolute advantage, so that those armed personnel suffer heavy losses!

Chen Mo didn't care about the eyes of the Indians, he directly took out these rifles from the space and distributed them to the clansmen of the Lakota tribe, not only the fifty warriors, but also the fifty young clansmen who followed them out to buy, as well as the women and middle-aged and elderly people who stayed behind, all received a powerful rifle.

In short, except for children who were too young to use muskets, even children of James's age and old men in their sixties and seventies received a musket.

Don't underestimate these children and the elderly, as an Indian tribe that lives deep in the forest and lives by hunting, the children of the tribe begin to learn and practice various hunting skills and use bows and arrows from an early age, and it is not too difficult to use muskets that are easier to operate and aim.

And those old men are more experienced warriors, although they are older, and their physical strength and strength are not as good as those of young people, but they have much more shooting skills and experience than them, and they are even more handy in using muskets.

With these old men, women and children guarding the tribe with the most advanced firing muskets at present, even if the American Fur Company sends another team of fifty or even a hundred people, there will only be one end to the annihilation of the entire army!

The American fur company, which had always relied on the superiority of firearms and numbers to bully the primitive and backward Indians and foreign fur traders, had never thought of spending huge sums of money to update their weapons and equipment, and they would never have imagined that the Indian tribes, which had been blockaded by them with firearms and could not buy even the most backward arquebuses, would suddenly have a large number of new rifles that were more advanced and powerful than them.

Having lost their greatest advantage and reliance, the American Fur Company can no longer arbitrarily oppress and bully the Lakota tribe as unscrupulously as before, as long as they dare to come again, they will be greeted by a blow to the head!

Chief Geronimo was shocked by Chen Mo's method of conjuring piles of powerful muskets out of thin air, and immediately knelt down with the other tribesmen who were also stunned by this shocking scene.

"It's the power of God!"

"The gods have appeared!"

……

Chen Mo originally did not intend to subdue the Indian tribe to work for him, the main purpose of his visit this time was to experience two small ones, and the second was to buy furs.

Because there is time, Chen Mo is not in a hurry at all, he planned to teach the two elementary schools while letting the two of them practice in actual combat, and buy fur in the middle by the way, just experience life.
