Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Difficult Winter

All forces with backward productive forces and poor society have the same characteristic, that is, they have a difficult winter. When winter comes, the grass and trees die, and it is difficult to find the animals that hibernate, and those who raise them starve to death due to lack of food. Especially in areas near the north and south poles where snow falls, even rivers freeze and fishing is greatly affected. Therefore, since ancient times, the tribes on the prairie in northern China have every year there will be old people who don't want to drag down their families and go into the wasteland alone to die.

The Indians living on the North American continent had the same problem. About half of North America is covered with heavy snow in winter. In these places, the environment is not good, there has been no development and construction, and there is not even a qualified road. Coupled with the presence of all kinds of hungry and ferocious beasts, the danger is no less than that of the steppe in winter. Even those white people who live at the bottom and can't get past it anymore will not easily enter these places.

However, the whites drove the Indians to settle here. Every year, they had to sacrifice some of their older people in exchange for more young lives to survive. The experience of an old man is a great asset, but without a newborn and a sturdy young man, the tribe will decay faster. The lesser of two evils, they can only abandon the old people in exchange for time. However, this does not mean that they do not hate, they do not feel distressed.

And the God of War tribe is one of the most resentful tribes. The God of War tribe, before King Philip's war, was a super large tribe of 10,000 people. At that time, the God of War tribe was known for its many warriors, strong combat effectiveness, and the ability to use firearms to fight, occupying a land rich in resources and a warm climate. At that time, the God of War tribe still thought that the white man was really his good friend. As time went on, however, whites became more and more greedy.

Relying on the manufacturing capacity of firearms and the supply of bullets from the God of War tribe, the white people are demanding more and more. Not only for most of their booty, but also for the land, for them to mine gold for the whites. After the God of War tribe couldn't bear to refuse, the white people completely turned their faces. The God of War tribe couldn't defeat it and was expelled from the hometown where he originally lived. Later, the King Philip War broke out, and the God of War tribe also joined the war, but their teammates were too piggy, and they failed again.

The current God of War tribe has a population of less than 3,000 people, and the number of warriors is only 500. It looks a lot stronger than the original Eagle Tribe, but it still can't guarantee the survival of the entire tribe in the ice and snow. Because of the previous two years of aggressive hunting, the density of prey in the vicinity has also been greatly reduced, and the God of War tribe must sacrifice people this winter. The old patriarch of the God of War tribe, the beloved old man of the previous generation with the surname God of War, also decided to leave the tribe with some old brothers.

However, everyone in the tribe was reluctant. If it weren't for the fact that the old patriarch had been ordered to bring the tribe out at the end of that war, the tribe would have disappeared long ago, and it would not still exist today. But the old patriarch had a strong temper, and he just didn't want to drag down the tribe. The young patriarch is now worried to death, and he goes to power every day, but he fails every day. On this day, he was chased out of the house by his father again, and he didn't know what to do at all. Vala, the wife of the new god of war, saw her husband come out and went up to help him with a worried face.

"What? Father still has to stick to his ideas?"

"Yes, hey, I really don't understand, my father doesn't have to do this, he has given so much for the tribe, and he can enjoy the offerings of all of us with peace of mind. ”

"That's the greatness of my father, love, if we really bought a firearm, we could still rob the white people, but now, I really don't know what to do. ”

"That's right, I don't know if this trader tribe is reliable, so there is no response at all after saving it. If we hadn't given them those things, we wouldn't be where we are now. ”

It turned out that the Ares tribe was one of the Indian tribes that entrusted the trader tribe with the purchase of firearms. They took all the old bottoms out, like getting a weapon and going out to grab a white man. In this way, they will be able to break the current embarrassment and the old people will not have to self-destruct. But after all these months, they still haven't heard from the Trader's Tribe, so they are all a little desperate.

However, perhaps the heavens could not bear to see the respected veterans die so meaninglessly, and the two were sighing when there was a commotion at the gate of the tribe. The god of war was annoyed, and walked over there angrily, ready to teach the blind clansmen a lesson. As soon as he walked to the back of the crowd, his eldest son squeezed out and said to him excitedly.

"Father, the people from the Trader tribe are here, and all the weapons we bought have arrived, all of them are good weapons that I have never seen. ”

As soon as the god of war heard this, his mind was clouded, this is another village. He quickly squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the front. His son was right, the tribe of traders really fulfilled their commission. Five wagons, all loaded with brand-new muskets and artillery. Although the styles were not something he had ever seen, he could see that they were all good weapons. At this time, Samar of the Trader tribe walked up to him and greeted him.

"God of War Patriarch, you're here. ”

"Samar, you guys are so good that you actually bought a firearm. ”

"It is also a coincidence that one of our tribes has risen up and defeated the white army several times in a row, and these weapons have been captured by them from the white British army. ”

"Oh, I don't know which tribe is heroic, so powerful. ”

"Well, it's a long story, I'll tell you later, now, how about I introduce you to these weapons?"

"Yes, of course. I would also like to know how these weapons are used. ”

"Come, let's talk about this musket first, this musket, but it is the latest developed by the British, and now even their army is not fully equipped ......"

Samar is also a wonderful person, with a mouth full of witty words. After a while, the god of war also knew the power of this weapon in his hand. He was very satisfied with these weapons. The scene became more and more lively, and even the old patriarch was shocked. With these weapons, they don't have to self-destruct, they don't have to go to the white people to grab anything. The whites have robbed them, so why can't they rob the whites.

Samar and the others stayed in the God of War tribe for a few days, and after handing over the operation methods of all the firearms to the God of War tribe, they prepared to leave. The matter of Yanhuang Trading Company, of course, they also explained it clearly to the God of War Tribe. The strength of the Yanhuang Trading Company can be said to be the strongest among the scattered Indian tribes. The God of War tribe didn't dare to fight their idea, and besides, they were compatriots after all, and they were embarrassed to do it.

The reason why the trader tribe said this is also to hope that everyone can form an alliance against the whites with the Yanhuang Trading Company as the core. They also knew that in the current form of the army, if the Indians were not united, they were afraid that they would never recover. It's not just Samar and his team that are so criminal, there are ten tribes who have entrusted them with the purchase of weapons, and each of them has said something about the benefits of various alliances.

However, the looseness of the Indians and the supremacy of their own tribes made few people respond. The ten tribes that got the weapons did not take this matter to heart at all, and instead began to plan to rob the whites. Winter has only just begun, and their situation will become more and more difficult, and they must grab enough supplies before they can go out. Some tribes, such as the God of War tribe, are all those who can act.

In the original history, there must have been such robbery. However, because there was no Xiao Lin, there was no existence of the Yanhuang Trading Company, and they had no way to obtain advanced weapons, they could not break through the defenses of the white towns at all, and could only end miserably, and even many tribes disappeared like this. However, under the flapping of the wings of the little butterfly Sholin, a huge storm began to form on the North American continent.

A week later, the Ares tribe united with two identical friendly tribes and forcibly broke down a town of a few thousand French people. Under the outbreak of hatred in the past, they did not leave a single living mouth, men and old and young were brutally killed, and women with a little posture were also killed after being insulted. The three tribes were given food, money, and some remaining firearms. The three tribes that tasted the sweetness did not intend to stop there.

The rest of the tribe was also called out by them, as if they were learning from the nomadic tribe, grabbing wherever they went. Xiao Lin didn't expect that this would also allow Yanhuang Trading Company to have a peaceful life for a long time. Both the British and the French received information on the appearance of ten powerful Indian bandits. The messengers came to the town where it had been attacked and saw a terrible image of purgatory on earth. It was even more terrible than what they had done to the Indians.

The Indians, in order to take revenge, did not care at all. This behavior also provoked greater hatred, the whites were furious, and the whole colony was boiling. All the manpower and material resources were used by them to encircle and suppress these ten Indian tribes. Under the surging hearts of the people, they did not dare to pay attention to other aspects. Otherwise, the civilians, who are extremely insecure and have been oppressed by them for a long time, will definitely start a riot.

Charlie Mill was also anxious, and he very much wanted to prepare an army to attack the Yanhuang Trading Company, but the people below did not do it. Compared to these ten bandit tribes, the Yanhuang Trading Company is like a little sheep. Except for the Addams family, who had been feuding since the beginning, they had never attacked any other forces. Even if you take the town, you won't massacre.
