"There is no such thing as 'before the universe was born,' or that is something we will never be able to touch." "When you stand at the beginning of the birth of the universe, no matter how you go, it will be after the birth of the universe, not before...... It's like when you're standing at the North Pole, no matter how you go, you can only go south, not north. ”

Everyone seemed to understand it, and Ma Whistle gave a few more examples.

When someone understood, another question naturally came up: "Teacher, this is different from the story we heard before!" My mother told me that everything in the world was woven by the heavens and the earth. ”

"Those are just stories, and these are the truths." Ma Whistle writes the word truth on the blackboard, a word he has recently coined.

After turning around, he continued: "There will always be an ending to the story, but the truth never ends, so I'll tell more in the future. ”

"What about our Great Spirit?" A shaman asked.

Ma Whistle was silent for two seconds: "If you have to set up an existence before the birth of the universe, then it doesn't hurt to call it 'Great Spirit'. ”

The beliefs of the Indians were very mixed, and sometimes the beliefs within the same tribe could vary greatly, but almost all the Indian tribes had a concept similar to the "Great Spirit", a supreme god with a very light personification and almost nature itself.

Ma Whistle knew that it was impossible to completely eradicate religion, so he did not directly shave the Great Spirit, but left a little room for it to survive.

After all, no matter what, compared with various monotheistic religions in the West, Da Ling, a supreme god with a very light personality, is still a relatively gentle and friendly existence.

It obviously makes no sense for the extremists to be alive and kicking out the moderates.

The course went on without much questioning.

As a professional physics teacher, Ma Whistle knows how to show the charm of truth, which is a natural persuasiveness.

Even the ignorant Indians, after listening to his words, will feel the harmony that naturally emanates from the laws of physics.

"That's all for today's lesson." Ma Whistle patted the dust from the inferior homemade chalk, "You should familiarize yourself with these words on the blackboard, and I will check them in the text class." ”

Just like on the battlefield, the training of the army is followed by the teaching of culture.

The current armed force of the Sleeping Bear Clan is more than 200 people, half of whom have revolvers, and the rest are mainly bows and arrows and rifles.

For those soldiers who have not been trained in charging, lying down, etc., the horse sentry has already arranged for the commander to be trained, and he now has to train or teach another important content.

This may even be the most important thing in the long run.

"Soldiers, today I will tell you the 'Three Iron Rules for Soldiers'." The horse sentry stood in front of more than two hundred warriors.

The entire Sleeping Bear Clan, the most fearful of the horse whistle, these soldiers listened quietly, and almost always accepted all the horse whistle's requests unconditionally.

"The first iron rule: all actions are under command!" "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, the commander must obey my orders, and the soldiers must obey the orders of the chief!" ”

"The second iron rule: all seizures must be returned to the public!"

"You are soldiers, not robbers and bandits, and everything you have captured on the battlefield, whether it is a rifle, a horse, a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes, or even a captured enemy, belongs to the clan and is not to be hidden. Of course, captured loot will also be rewarded by the clan. ”

"There is also a third iron rule: do not abuse those who have no power to fight back!"

"The glory of a soldier is not to bully the weak, and we must not abuse, rape, or molest captives, women, and children who have no power to fight back."

These three iron rules are actually the three disciplines and eight points of attention, but they have been simplified.

After all, the current Indian army is in a completely different environment from the PLA in later generations.

For example, the article "do not take a stitch from the masses", Ma Whistle thought about it and found that the current Indians do not have the concept of "masses", and it is difficult to create a special word to express it.

Are clans the masses?

No, that's a loved one. A clan of only 1,000 people is basically related to each other, which is obviously not suitable to be described by the masses, and no soldier will encroach on the things of the clansmen.

What about the other Indians outside the clan?

It's not suitable, the relationship is far away, and some are still enemies.

As for whites, not to mention.

It may not be until the Indians form a state, or at least a city-state, that concepts like the masses of people make sense.

As for the more detailed discipline, Ma Shou felt that it was unnecessary for the time being, and the Indians could strictly implement these three iron rules, that is, the first-class strict army and righteous division of this era.

“…… If you violate the three major irons, you will be severely punished! Even the slightest offense will be recorded, and those who have such a record will basically bid farewell to the positions of chief, centurion, and other officers. Ma Whistle said.

"What is a centurion?" Some of the recruits were not yet accustomed to the discipline of the army and could not help but interject.

His chief immediately shouted, "Shut up! ”

"A centurion is an officer who manages a hundred soldiers. Of course, no one has yet been given this position, and in the next period of training, it is possible that the outstanding captain will be appointed by me as a centurion. ”

Hearing this, the commanders' eyes suddenly lit up, and many people secretly made up their minds that they must become centurions.

"You must memorize these three iron rules word for word, just as you remember your own name." Ma Whistle emphasized.

In terms of individual prowess, the Indians were very good, they were excellent warriors and knights, but organizational discipline and tactics were quite problematic.

Ma Sentinel hoped that the army would soon have strict military discipline and that all members would master some basic tactics so that he could carry out further training.

There was a tactic he had on his heart that, if the Indians could master it, would be enough to become a world-class powerhouse.

At that time, as long as the equipment is not too backward, Ma Sentry believes that even the US federal army will definitely not be willing to take the initiative to provoke him.

Then it's a matter of waiting for the right time, and when it's time for the Civil War, tear a big piece of flesh off the United States with all its might!

The horse sentry continued to train the soldiers.

……

About fifty kilometers southeast of the Sleeping Bear Clan, a group of more than a dozen Indians, Comanches, rode slowly on horseback.

"It's coming." Led by these Comanches was an old man, the chief of the Twin Wolf Clan, and he looked at the clansmen behind him, "When you come into contact with white people, be careful, but don't be overly nervous. ”

"Yes, Chief."

After a short walk, a white town appeared in front of us, and the townspeople quickly noticed the visiting Comanches.

Immediately, a group of white men came out of the town with weapons, led by a man in his thirties, who was of medium height, wore a cowboy hat, had a beard, and a cigarette in his mouth, and looked a little careless.

"Ah, long time no see, my friend." As he spoke, he beckoned, and then an Indian dressed in white clothes walked behind him, "Translate for him." ”

The Indians, dressed in white clothes, walked between the two sides and looked at the Twin Wolf Chieftain, but his gaze seemed a little afraid to look directly.

I heard him say in a skilful Comanche language, "Greetings to Mayor Thomas, friends from the Twin Wolf Clan. ”
