Huang Xiao stopped on his horse, and the bison and others ran very fast in the snow, and they went and returned after a short time.

Soon, Bison and other friends had more spears and short guns in their hands.

Huang Xiao took one and looked at it and smiled, this is a Spanish Mushquet arquebus, and it was with this improved arquebus that the Spaniards conquered the Inca Empire in South America and the Aztec Kingdom in the Gulf of Mexico.

Huang Xiao threw it to the bison.

In addition to these arquebuses, there are also two flintlock muskets, Huang Xiao looked at it, and basically had an understanding of the combat power of the British at this time.

The flintlock musket in Europe was developed by the French watchmaker Mahan.

Mahan's invention won the French a reputation in Europe, and King Henry IV of France couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In 1598, Henry IV summoned Mahan to this purpose, and he was surprised to find that the inventor of the flintlock pistol was not only an invention of firearms, but also a rare genius in the field of painting and engraving.

Henry IV then appointed Mahan as his "court's valet".

Mahan's fate was thus rewritten, but the fate of the flintlock pistol was not so smooth.

On May 14, 1610, Henry IV was stabbed with a knife on his way to visit his minister Sully in a carriage.

With the death of Henry IV, the process of equipping the troops with flintlock pistols stalled.

Many French generals objected to the arming of flintlock pistols on the grounds that "the sparks from the flint were not enough to ignite black powder." So much so that there was no success at that time.

However, the convenience of flintlock muskets was an unstoppable replacement for arquebuses, which have been used for more than two hundred years.

However, at this time, the flintlock pistol had not yet been rifled, although the role of rifling had already been developed, but due to the constraints of technology and other aspects, it could not be produced in large quantities.

And to deal with the natives, it was enough to have arquebuses, but at this time in the rainy season or winter in the Americas, the inconvenience of arquebuses made the colonists carry some flintlock guns.

Not to mention that the A2 in Huang Xiao's hand is the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse Firecracker, which is enough to crush it.

Bison put the money obtained from touching the corpse in front of Huang Xiao.

Since 1530, Spain has discovered many large silver mines in Spanish America, and Philip II ordered all the silver produced in the Americas to be made into silver pesos, and circulated in large quantities in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, becoming the world's currency at that time.

Huang Xiao was not interested in any of this, so he let the bison take them away, and he rode forward.

The bison returned to Jin Yan's side and followed Huang Xiao with his clansmen.

"The wind god is so powerful, those devils are all dead, and none of them are alive!"

Jin Yan smiled and nodded.

Huang Xiao was riding on a horse and was also observing this group of natives.

The total number is about 500 people, accounting for a small half of them are children, the rest are women, there is no strong man, there are no men, it should be the left-behind tribe and the white people fighting, but now it seems that it is probably more auspicious.

Coming to this place is Huang Xiao's carefully selected choice.

Eighteen years ago (1607), British colonists landed here and established the first British colonist base in the Americas near the James River, which they named, and named it Jamestown.

The monarch at that time was James I, named after the colonists after the king.

The entire new colony was called "Virginia", meaning "virgin land", in honor of the "virgin king" Elizabeth I, who died in 1603.

When Jamestown was founded, there were just over 100 colonists.

Originally the land of the Great Chief of Powhatan, the arrival of the colonists sparked a backlash from the Powhatan tribal confederation, which led to constant conflicts.

The 105 colonists came at an ill-timed time - just in time for a major drought.

Although they built a castle in only 19 days (to protect against the natives), the heat and fatigue soon claimed half of the lives, but new men and supplies arrived in June of the following year.

In 1609, the first war broke out between the Powhatan tribe and the colonists, and they broke off trade with the colonists and besieged Jamestown.

Hunger caused many people to "die like flies", and cannibalism has been recorded, with husbands pickling their wives after the death of the colonists of Jamestown...... At one point, the number of settlers of 500 was reduced to just 60.

However, the relieved colonists soon gained support from their homeland, and they later defeated the Powhatan tribe and set up an ambush to capture Pocahontas, Pocahontas, who was only 11 years old at the time.

The colonists used this to blackmail the Great Chief of Powhatan, but Powhatan did not give in and continued to fight the colonists.

The colonists brainwashed Pocahontas, she became the first indigenous to believe in God and learned English.

Eventually forcing her to marry a tobacconist and bringing her back home for display, the Indian princess caused a sensation in Europe at the time and attracted more colonists to Jamestown.

Later, because of an infectious disease, Hontas died.

Dinis Company, which used this as a script, made a large number of adaptations, and filmed the famous animated film "Pocahonta", which won an Academy Award.

The film portrays Hontas as a messenger of peace between the colonizers and the natives.

She sympathized with the starving colonists and secretly brought corn to help them.

She even rescued the captured colonist leader John Smith at the execution ground.

This is a story of love and peace between an upright, brave and kind colonist and an indigenous princess who yearns for freedom and love.

Hehe.

Of course, it has also caused many people to disagree, which is obviously suspected of washing the land for the colonizers, which is quite controversial.

Some historians believe that after Poka was trapped, she was subjected to inhuman torture and force, and even her children were the result of being strong, and she died of illness at the age of twenty-two.

Her story was widely disseminated by the colonizers, and she even became the first woman to be printed on the dollar.

In 1622, Powhatan launched a large-scale attack on the colonists, resulting in the death of more than 350 colonists, and the tribal alliance was subjected to the colonists' frenzied revenge and massacre.

Powhatan was also captured and killed.

The war lasted until this year, when it gradually subsided.

In 1614, after the end of the First Powhatan-Gusan War, the years-long drought ended.

That year, John Rolfe, an Englishman who came to Virginia, stumbled upon the fertile soil and the warm and rainy climate, which was ideal for growing tobacco, a crop that originated in the Caribbean islands and South America.

Tobacco leaves were sold for a very high price in Europe at the time, and were called "cashco".

p）。

Rolf's discovery gave new life to the Virginia colony: if gold could not be found, it would be better to grow tobacco and make a fortune.

This man was none other than Pocahontas's husband.

The widespread cultivation of tobacco brought huge profits and stimulated the colonists' thirst for land, and in the years that followed, a steady stream of colonists came to Virginia, which also made Virginia prosperous, and truly became the first British colony in North America!

Numerous colonists brought black slaves and encapsulated a large amount of land belonging to the Powhatan tribes, and the Second Powhatan War, which came from this.

At the end of the year, early next year (1626), the Dutch bought cloth and glass beads in the hands of the natives, next to Manhattan, New York, Washington and other places in Virginia, named New Amsterdam.

In 1644, the Anglo-Dutch War broke out, and the British occupied New Amsterdam and renamed it New York, and after the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the Netherlands recovered it, but finally ceded it to England in 1674.

According to calculations, the value of glass beads and other items of the Dutch at that time was only worth twenty or thirty pounds.
