After the rainstorm stopped, the Great Plains suddenly became lively.

The Indians, who liked to hide in tents, flocked into the wilderness like a tidal wave.

All of them, men, women, and children, night and day, all looked down in the mountains.

The silence of the mountains and river valleys was broken, and bursts of cheers were heard from time to time, making the clansmen who had been busy for a long time grit their teeth with laughter!

In front of this golden stone, whether it is a yellow person, a white person, a black person, a green person, a red person, or a flower person, they are all equal.

Anyone who dares to 'steal' their gold will die!

……

Inside White Rock City, there is still a lot of noise.

The dull smell of sawdust wafted through the air;

The charcoal powder fell on the white gate, coating the gate with a layer of black ash. It won't be long before this place will have to be renamed 'Black Rock City' again;

A long factory building had been erected by the river, and the huge chimney had not yet begun to smoke, but several molds made of mud were piled up beside it;

There were several brand-new tents set up on the mountainside, and they were wandering Sioux people who had come from afar, they were not so lucky, their tribe had long since fallen, and there was no place to look for gold, so they had to come here to eat a mouthful.

The clanging, clattering of Siri could still be heard even when fifteen dollars closed the window and closed the thick curtains.

"Why are the curtains closed?" Turtledove asked. "Pull it open and let the sun shine in!"

So fifteen dollars pulled back the curtains.

The golden sun poured in through the window and shone on the turtledove's red and swollen eye sockets.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and cover his eyes. After a while, I slowly put it down.

"It's okay, I'm fine, fifteen dollars!" Turtledove said softly.

Fifteen glanced at him cautiously, pushed his chair, and came to the window, so that the morning sun could shine more on him.

Fifteen dollars didn't expect that when he arrived in White Rock City, he didn't have time to marvel at this brand-new city, and then he heard the news that the Tonatiu army had been almost completely wiped out!

Almost all wiped out!

In the end, only more than 100 people returned, all of them injured, and they are still quietly recuperating in the backyard school building. It is estimated that no more than half of the people can stand up in the end.

In that rainy night, the two warring sides did not spread the news.

Heavy rain washed away the traces of the battle.

Fifteen led the horses and watched as a group of white soldiers collected the bones all over the ground.

On the eve of the rainstorm stopped, another flood washed over there.

From then on, if someone hadn't deliberately mentioned it, no one would have known that there had been a terrible rain battle there.

"I haven't had time to ask you, fifteen dollars. Is the family okay? Turtledove asked.

"It's good, the tribe is growing every day, and we are producing more and more food......"

"Tell the truth!" The turtledove interrupted the fluent exchange of fifteen dollars.

Fifteen froze for a moment, then spat out.

"Actually, well, it's not too good. You know, turtledove, our trade with the mountains is simply unfair. We often have to pay a great price in exchange for their small handouts. In previous years, we could get at least 50 pounds of coarse wheat for a single log, but now we can only get 2 or 3 pounds of ...... at most."

"Ammunition is even more difficult to resupply. Although Scott is also the owner of the Grand River Transport, he knows what bullets mean to us, so the price of bullets is ridiculously high. Every time you buy 1 bullet, it is equivalent to giving up half a month's ration for a person......"

"It's okay to say that these materials are expensive, after all, everyone is hungry, and no one can say anyone. However, even in such difficult circumstances, the population of the tribe is gradually increasing. From California to the north and Mexico to the south, Indians continued to flee; ”

"As soon as there are more people, things will follow. In the past, when the tribe was still small, I didn't think about it, but when the tribe was large, I often thought-well, it's not for nothing that we Indians have fallen to this point! ”

"Can you imagine, turtledove? Just for a wild egg, more than 100 people beat their heads and broke their blood! ”

"The light on the ridge on the east side of the mountain is better, and the rain is sufficient, and the group of people on the west side simply destroyed the green seedlings on the east ridge!"

"There are even people who are sneaking around in the tribe and want to launch a campaign to make themselves the flag leader......"

Fifteen dollars is like a nagging resentful woman, and it goes on and on.

He picked up strange things and said, and at the beginning, the turtledove was still smiling.

But later, I couldn't laugh at all.

What a mess it must be! It is said that it has been stabilized, but the beam structure is glued, and the wind and rain outside will blow down the house that is not strong at any time.

At this time, White Rock City also needs its support.

Fifteen saw the turtledove's pain, and stopped talking.

……

"Is Fremont's emissary still in White Rock?" Turtledove asked.

"Hmm."

"Arrange it, let's talk!" Turtledove said surgingly.

On the third day after the rainstorm had stopped, Fremont's emissaries secretly arrived at White Rock City, hoping to negotiate with the turtledoves.

It was at that time that the turtledove first heard of the 'Fremont style' in the Great Plains of the Northwest.

Didn't you say that Fremont never negotiated with the Indians?

Why are you negotiating now?

The turtledove was in a state of grief and indignation, and hated to put the messenger to death at once.

But the peso, who was sent to execute, was then called back by the great force; Then the turtledove repented and sent Ju Hard and Peso to the execution, but the sturgeon and smoked fish were called back......

After a few tosses, Fifteen Dollars quietly stopped the men and secretly communicated with the watermill.

In the end, it was the watermill lying on the hospital bed that put forward its opinion - in the current situation, negotiating with Fremont is the best option!

That's right, Fremont once said that he would never negotiate with the Indians!

That's right, Turtledove once said that he would never negotiate with white people!

However, after that field battle in the middle of a torrential rain, both sides decided to change their style.

In this special period in the spring of 1843, two people who had vowed not to share the sky finally found their common enemy - time!

They were all overwhelmed by this enemy!

……

This is also the first time that Ikaruga sat in front of the chessboard as a chess player.

At the cost of the Tonatjan Army, up to 70% of the casualties!
