079 Vertical Wolf
Lead by example, material and moral rewards, and penal deterrence.
This is the best solution that Ma Whistle can think of, which should maximize the unification of the languages of the indigenous peoples and minimize the confrontation in the process.
Of course, the current scheme can only be considered a trial, and there should be a lot of room for improvement.
The main thing is the issue of bonuses.
He wasn't sure if the reward was big or small.
On average, this equates to about fifteen dollars per Comanche.
From the point of view of time cost, fifteen dollars is simply too little. Ordinary people master a foreign language, even with the help of the environment, it will take a year or two at the earliest, and it is not surprising that ten years are slow, one hour a day, and thousands of hours in a few years.
Thousands of hours, so much time, if you use it to work, even if you pick up the rags, it is more than fifteen dollars.
But if you look at the amount alone, it doesn't seem like a small amount.
Now there should be 300,000 to 500,000 indigenous people in North America, and in the calculation of 300,000, if you want to subsidize 300,000 people according to this standard, the tribe needs to pay as much as four or five million dollars.
Of course, Ma Whistle has some ways to make money, although most of them cannot be practiced now, but when he unites hundreds of thousands of aborigines, I believe that many of them can become a reality.
After the speech, the people dispersed.
Ma Sentry picked a young Comanche he trusted from the crowd and beckoned to him, "Wolf, come here." ”
"Teacher." The wolf said in Apache, as he was more accustomed to calling the horse.
Ma Whistle listened to this Apache language, which no longer had any Comanche accent, and smiled: "Looks like you have a good chance of getting a hundred dollars, don't go to buy alcohol after you get it, you know?" ”
"I've quit drinking." Said the wolf.
Ma Whistle nodded: "That's good." You should know where the forest tribe is, right? I mean the forest tribes of Comanche. ”
The wolf nodded: "Yes." ”
"In that case, I appoint you as my messenger to go on a trip to the forest tribe for me." Ma Whistle said slowly, "As my messenger, you are here for three purposes. ”
"The first purpose was to tell them that the Great Chieftain of the Apache Plains tribe had died because of an accidental encounter with a rattlesnake...... The current Great Chief is me, the horse whistle of Sleeping Bear City. ”
"The second purpose is to inform the forest tribe of the truth about the Twin Wolf Clan joining the sleeping bear."
"I don't know who is spreading rumors in the forest tribe before, claiming that you joined the sleeping bear not out of your own volition, but because I used coercion and deception."
After a pause, Ma Whistle continued, "You need to tell them the truth of the matter, and tell them that the Twin Wolf Clan has voluntarily joined Sleeping Bear and has no intention of leaving. ”
"Understood."
Ma Whistle nodded: "There is a third purpose, which is to confirm the source of the rumors, who is distorting the facts." ”
"Probably made of Square Face, he disappeared a while ago, you may be able to meet him when you arrive at the Forest Tribe. If it is confirmed that Square Face is a traitor, you tell the High Chief of the Forest Tribe, I hope he will hand over Square Face, and Square Face is now a prisoner of the Plains Tribe. ”
"If you really can't confirm it, you can abandon the mission."
"Yes." The wolf replied.
……
A few days later.
The erector made it to the Comanche Forest tribe without incident, and almost as soon as he dismounted, he completed the third task that the horse whistle had given him that he could abandon.
In the camp of the forest tribe.
"Wolf, why are you here?" Fang Face looked at the wolf in surprise, "Could it be that the horse whistle has already let you go?" ”
When the wolf saw him, he was silent for two seconds and then suddenly said, "What a stupid fellow you are!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The square face was inexplicable and a little annoyed.
Instead of answering, the wolf walked into the center of the forest tribe's camp with another Comanche man, and then went straight to the largest tent.
Fang Face, who didn't know why but faintly felt that something was not good, hurriedly followed, and the two entered the tent one after the other, and saw the owl chief chief.
"Great Chief Owl, I am the emissary of Sleeping Bear City." Said the wolf.
"Sleeping Bear City?" The Great Chief of the Owl frowned slightly, "Sleeping Bear Clan?" ”
"Now it's called Sleeping Bear City." The wolf added.
The square face next to him reacted: "Ma Whistle sent you?" ”
The wolf said calmly, "That's right, the Great Chief sent me. ”
"Great Chief?" The owl and the square face were stunned.
The wolf explained: "The last great chief of the Plains tribe was bitten by a snake and died not long ago, and now the tribe is led by the great chief of the horse. ”
Hearing the news, everyone in the tent was in disbelief.
The owl couldn't help but look at the high priest beside him.
The high priest frowned: "It seems that the prophecy of the Arapahoe people has been fulfilled, but I didn't expect it to be fulfilled at this time......"
This result was hard for them to accept.
What about the civil war?
The owl had expected the horse sentry to fall into a civil war with the tent guards, and then reap the benefits himself, but he did not expect that the prophecy of the Arapahoe people would be fulfilled at this juncture!
Not only did the Apache Civil War come to naught, but Ma Whistle also easily became the Great Chieftain, which became even more tricky.
"What did the horse whistle send you for?" The owl asked.
"I'm here to set the record straight. The Twin Wolf Clan's joining the Plains Tribe is a voluntary act, not a bullying of the Sleeping Bear, and we also respect the Great Chief of the Horse Whistle and have no intention of breaking away from the Sleeping Bear. ”
"You fart!" Fang Face directly scolded, "You traitor, you betrayed the Comanches!" ”
The wolf looked at him, "You are the real traitor, Square Face. If it weren't for Chief Horsewhistle, we wouldn't have survived last winter, and since you've accepted the help, you should keep your promise and be loyal to Sleeping Bear...... Now that the winter is over, you want to get rid of the sleeping bear, isn't it betrayal? ”
He looked at the owl again: "Great Chief Owl, Fang Face is our traitor, I hope you can return him to the sleeping bear for disposal." ”
Fang Face hurriedly said: "Great Chief, don't listen to his nonsense!" He's a traitor to the Comanches, and we should have him executed! ”
Faced with the attitude of the wolf, the owl's face was also a little ugly: "Wolf, you were originally a Comanche. ”
"Indeed, but in the most difficult times for the Twin Wolf Clan, none of the Comanche Clan was willing to lend a hand. So I'm an Apache now. ”
"It's not that the other Comanche clans are unwilling to help you, they just can't do anything about it." The owl said.
The wolf said: "If you can't do anything, you will naturally have to pay the price." ”
The owl's voice sank: "The price is your betrayal?" ”
"It's not a betrayal, it's just leaving. Since then, we no longer belong to Comanche. "Wolf said.
