No matter how long the road is, there will always be an end.

Three days and two nights later, a humble village appeared in the middle of the col.

In fact, this col is not very far from the plains outside, and the reason why it takes so much time is mainly because of the need to carry trophies, prisoners, and wounded ferrets.

There is also a secondary reason that the horses of the Yin people are not suitable for such mountain roads.

Horses, the most important companion of humans in the Middle Ages.

In the conquest of the Aztecs, Incas and other empires by the Spanish colonists, muskets were really only a minor aspect.

A few hundred white colonists could conquer the Inca Empire of six million people, certainly not by bullet by bullet.

The first merit should belong to the plague of the Old World, represented by smallpox.

This was followed by the shameless deception of the colonial leader Pizarro.

Then came the horses.

The metal longsword and musket factors have to be slightly further back.

Sadly, the Americas are the birthplace of the Archaeopteryx horse, but more than 10,000 years ago, all the horses in the Americas became extinct.

It is possible that horses in the Americas are more primitive and cannot adapt to the abrupt climate change of the Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

It is also possible that the East Asian ancestors who came to the Americas ate all the horses......

Is that it......

As we all know, as distant relatives of China, the food culture of the Indians is actually quite developed......

In any case, when the white colonists set foot on American soil, the locals were helpless against the high heads of these robbers.

A knight in armor on horseback, a formidable enemy that the Americans, armed with clubs and stone spears, could not match.

However, although the Indians are backward, as yellow people, there is not much shortcoming in IQ.

They quickly learned how to raise horses.

It's just that these Anglo-Arabian horses from Europe are not suitable for mountain activities.

So the eagle and her people spent more time along the way.

……

Indian tribes were both sedentary and nomadic.

The tribe to which the eagle belongs is called the clouds of the high mountains, and it is a branch of the Sioux people.

The so-called Sioux people are called Sioux in English, and in Suo: Očhéthi Šakówįn, which means "meeting of the seven flames".

They were the backbone of the 19th-century Western Indian Resistance Army.

But the Sioux were not a unified tribe.

As the name "Meeting of the Seven Flames" suggests, this is a loose tribal alliance.

Zhu Fugui felt that the name "Soviet Union" was very suitable for them.

Of course, this is a joke.

This tribal alliance of natives, though full of martial virtues, was powerless in the face of the colonizers' regularized army.

The Eagle tribe is an extremely marginal tribe among the Sioux people, and most of the time it has no sense of existence, except for the "Seven Colors of Flame Meeting" held every four years.

Not only is the location remote, but the population is not large.

Since there was no special prison, Zhu Fugui and the others were placed in the central square, and the soldiers took turns to take care of them.

Zhu Fugui found that from time to time, Yin women came to watch with their children, and adults were also whispering something to exchange.

According to the number of houses, Zhu Fugui roughly estimated that the population of this tribe should be around five hundred, counting the old and the young.

This is less than expected.

According to Zhu Fugui's idea, since they dared to send more than 200 warriors to attack the white man's mine, then at least it must be a large tribe of thousands of people.

Otherwise, if the railway company retaliates at all costs, hundreds of people will simply not be able to resist.

……

At noon, Zhu Fugui couldn't help but look around.

As captives, the Chinese laborers must have had poor food.

However, these days, the girl will always prepare a fairly hearty food for Zhu Fugui alone.

Under the combined effect of clarithromycin and rich nutrition, Zhu Fugui's injury healed quickly.

After looking at it for a while, Zhu Fugui smiled.

In the distance, the familiar figure came over with a clay pot.

The ancients often said that a meal is a blessing, and Zhu Fugui felt that he needed to repay her well.

The glass beads in the small goods section, she should like it.

This is not Zhu Fugui's slamming of the door, it is really the entrepreneurial stage, and the money has to be carefully calculated.

Just when Zhu Fugui was choosing a gift, the girl had already approached.

"Eat, this time with salt."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhu Fugui raised his head, took the clay pot, and then was stunned.

"What? Is there anything on my face? ”

The girl frowned and rubbed her cheeks with her hands.

"No, I just didn't expect you to be so beautiful when you remove the oil paint."

If there is a lady in Jiangnan on the other side, Zhu Fugui would already belong to Meng Lang's disciples.

But in the face of Zhu Fugui's admiration, the Indian girl smiled happily.

Zhu Fugui is not the kind of person who can't walk when she sees a beautiful woman, but I have to say that she looks too good when she laughs, right?

Such a healing smile was ruined by the previous red version of the Avatar outfit.

This is also not true, but at that time, it was on the march and fighting, and it was indeed painted with oil paint to look more cold.

Zhu Fugui thought about the appearance of the girl with a knife in her hand and fell to the head of a person, and couldn't help but tremble.

Zhang Wuji and his wife said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people.

It seems that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will kill?

Just when Zhu Fugui was thinking nonsense, the girl suddenly asked: "You said before that the sea called the Pacific Ocean is tens of thousands of miles wide, so how did our ancestors swim over?" ”

"They didn't swim over, they came over."

Zhu Fugui said while eating meat, "It was very cold at that time, and the northern part of the sea was all frozen, so they could come over." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "But how do you know all this?" I asked the eldest grandmother in the tribe and they all said they had never heard of anything like this...... However, they say, some tribes say that we did come here from far away. ”

Zhu Fugui said with a smile: "I am the emperor, so I naturally know a lot of things that ordinary people don't know, and my loyal guards are investigating this matter." ”

"Hehe, do you think I'm stupid?" The girl smiled, "If you have a guard, how can you still be caught by me?" ”

"Hey, it's a long story, by the way, why are the numbers of your tribe so small, what if the white people go into the mountains to retaliate?" Zhu Fugui changed the topic.

"This ......"

The girl hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, "Actually, we have already investigated, if it was just for you Chinese, it would be impossible for the white man to risk the danger to go into the mountains to retaliate......"

Gan!

Zhu Fugui wanted to say, since he knew that Chinese workers and white people were not all the way, they were both oppressed, why did he still take Chinese workers?

Isn't this a pinch of persimmon picking soft?

However, if you think about it objectively, for the Indians who have lived here for generations, the Chinese laborers helped the white people to build mountains and bridges, mine and pave roads, which is indeed like a servant army.

Therefore, it is understandable that there is resentment against Chinese workers.

"We have a reason to have to bring you back to the Tribe......"

The girl seemed to guess what Zhu Fugui was thinking, and pointed to the pedestrians around the square, "Look, we don't have any men anymore......"

Ha?

Zhu Fugui raised his head and looked around.

Indeed, as the maiden said, there were hardly any men in the prime of life in the entire tribe.

If it is said that among the more than 200 soldiers before, women accounted for six or seven percent, then in the stockade, the proportion of women is as high as eighty or ninety!

"Is it ......?"

Zhu Fugui thought of a possibility, and his expression became very exciting.

The girl nodded: "That's right, in order to continue the tribe and not perish or be swallowed up by other tribes, we have to capture some males to maintain the population, and you look more like normal humans than those filthy white robbers, so Auntie chose you." ”
