Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 317: Brown bear warrior and the accident
Latest URL: At the beginning.
Because of being squeezed by Hilius, the colonists of the Sac Empire who also came to the northern part of the New World to take root have made friends with the Iroquois among the indigenous people. Due to various contradictions, they often teamed up to attack the tulip colonies, resulting in extreme Disastrous loss.
At that time, the number of pioneers who came here from the Tulip mainland was too small, and even with more sharp weapons, it really suffered several times.
Later, they simply followed suit and began to try to make friends with some of the Hurons who were opposed to the Iroquois.
Not only did they form alliances, they also armed them with more advanced weapons, and supported them to avenge the Iroquois and the colonial points of the Sark Empire that had good relations with the Iroquois.
These weapons include steel daggers, battle axes, swords and most importantly muskets!
At the same time, they began to conquer some of the surrounding small tribes that also did not deal with the Hurons, and absorbed them into the colonial system, mostly using them as lower-level labor.
Just like the Anuma chiefs who bought and sold their compatriots in the Southern Continent during the war, the experienced pioneers are familiar with them.
In the hundreds of years of pioneering history, colonists and natives gradually formed a delicate balance in this kind of advancement, retreat, confrontation and cooperation.
Even because of this seemingly peaceful integration policy, a large number of mixed-race Mastizos were born.
However, based on Aiwen's forward-looking experience, this balance will be broken sooner or later with the continuous influx of local personnel and the widening of the power gap.
Race, beliefs, ideas, language, position... all kinds of estrangements will eventually push the two sides into opposites, just like Hilius, who did the same after landing on the New World, and directly implemented the policy of annihilation and massacre. .
Until there is only one owner left in this land.
However, the future will be discussed in the future.
The current situation does not prevent the pioneers from making money.
The current colonial economy is mainly divided into three parts. The plantation represented by Carguinha mainly grows tobacco, rice and indigo (natural dyes, the navy dark blue uniform is used in this dye);
The shipping and shipbuilding industry represented by Yuanfanling and Fortemont; the fur trade represented by the central colony of Donglunzi.
Among them, various furs, which are in high demand at local prices, are the most important pillar industries! It is also the most valuable substitute found by latecomers after they missed the gold and silver of Sirius!
It is said that the early colonists used ten muskets and corresponding ammunition to obtain a large piece of land from the local chiefs or tribal leaders.
Although now decades later, the indigenous people who have seen the world have learned their skills and are reluctant to engage in this kind of loss-making business, but the furs obtained in exchange for "trade rifles" are enough to allow fur traders to return Make a fortune in the local area!
If it weren't for not being able to go back in a short time, Irvine originally wanted to do it.
It's easy to earn a golden lion for a round trip.
DaDaDa...
They rode their horses all the way, from the flat avenue built by the colonists, to the wilderness dirt road, and then to the trail where the hunters walked out.
But after all, I didn't go too deep into an uninhabited place. Although there were some difficulties, it still allowed horse-drawn carriages to pass.
Starting from the afternoon, after walking for nearly two hours, they finally arrived at their destination by a clear river.
This is a group of Huron people called Yucatan tribe. The long house covered with bark, branches and leaves looks much rougher than the wooden houses of the colonists.
According to the number of houses, it is estimated that there are about 300 to 400 people in this branch. However, according to Nekado, here is only a small part of the Yucatan tribe.
Because of the environmental carrying capacity, there are thousands of troops scattered in other places deep inland.
Most of the fur captured by the entire Yucatan tribe will be gathered here and traded with the pioneers through this semi-settlement.
Of course, there are various forms of transactions. It is said that dozens of border warehouses have been established in the interior of the Sark Empire.
Dedicated to serving the bravest hunter "Shanke" among the Atrians. They entered the wilderness alone for several months, holding the most cherished furs in their hands.
Toot——
Seeing the arrival of the convoy from afar, the outposts outside the tribe have already blew their horns.
In an instant, a group of strong men with dark brown skins in animal fur and colorful fabrics rushed out of each house.
Some people are holding bows and arrows, spears, and more people are holding cold guns!
If it weren't for the appearance and clothes, people would think that they came to a settlement of immigrants.
Ivan especially noticed that even the multi-purpose shawl called "Leibosuo" worn by most of them is already a local industrial fabric.
The most amazing thing is to fully consider customer needs, and the patterns above are still indigenous. Cotton textiles are exchanged for fur, this business is doing well!
"Hahaha, my friend, welcome to you!"
Seeing the headed chief who is hard to ignore, wearing a gorgeous feather crown, and a lean tribal leader wearing gold and bone accessories, waved his tribe back.
Only one native warrior with dark skin, tall and robust like Gary has remained.
He walked out the door of the camp, greeted the guests with a big smile in Union language very fluently.
"Chief Apsova, it's nice to meet you!"
Nekardo dismounts and hugs each other cordially.
The next step is simple.
We have contacted and traded many times over the years, and the two parties have already been familiar with each other.
The employees from Donglunzhi Company and the indigenous people in the tribe responsible for the transaction will check the goods of both parties, inspect, register, unload and load the goods.
Even and the others didn't need to do these things. They took Milan and Gary behind the director and walked into the long house in the most central part of the tribe leader.
"My friend, it's not easy to see you once with your own eyes. How long has it been since you last traded in person?"
"Hahaha, getting fat, getting fat, it's not easy to come out."
"I really envy the people of your Phalitis tribe, don't worry about survival. In our tribe, in addition to sacrifices, even the chiefs cannot comfortably enjoy the sacrifices of other tribes."
"....."
Sitting on a cushion made of a whole large bison leather, listening to Nekaduo chatting with the opposing leader, Ivan put the target on the strong warrior sitting next to the leader.
To be more precise, it is the totem tattoo on the opponent's body that is simple but lifelike.
Although the animals tattooed on the body are different from those depicted in the "Eagle Warrior Training Method", the charm is obviously in the same line.
This is obviously another "Totem Warrior" inheritance besides the "Eagle Warrior"!
"This trip is right, they really have a similar transcendent heritage."
Ivan was secretly happy in his heart, as he was thinking about how to speak.
Stare--!
The strong native warrior apparently possesses extraordinary keen senses. It may also be that Aiwen's movements were too obvious, and he soon discovered that this strange white-skinned young man was looking at him.
His gaze is towards Aiwen, although his eyes are small, he is born with a certain sense of oppression of a powerful predator.
The totem of the brown bear on his body also follows the rhythm of the muscles, as if to come back to life.
If an ordinary person is here, maybe he will be stunned by this look, and maybe he will run away if he is timid.
Ivan hasn't reacted much yet, judging from the strength of his vitality field, no matter how strong it is, it is just as strong as a formal knight. Even if three or five are tied together, it is not enough for the current one to fight alone.
It was Gary who was next to Ivan seeing the other party's somewhat rude "fierce" eyes. This violent temper instantly glared his eyes in return.
The two who were chatting soon noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere around them.
"Uvakaza!"
Interrupting the "brown bear warrior" around him and the guests looking at each other, Apsova noticed the new faces who came with Nekado and their unusualness.
Especially Gary, who is about the same size as his strongest fighter, follows the very simple concept of "big is strong" among the aboriginals. His face is slightly solemn and asks Nekado:
"My friends, who are these?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Captain Avin, the naval officer of the Kingdom of Falates, and the two next to him are the officers on Captain Avin's ship.
They have just arrived in the New World and want to meet some aboriginal friends. Hearing about your hospitality, I came to visit with me specially. "
Although he is only a civilian official, it does not mean that Nekado is ignorant of transcendents.
Speaking, winked at Aiwen, and signaled that although the opponent was backward in equipment, the samurai under him was extremely strong, and it was best not to make any misunderstandings.
Although Ivan was very interested in their "Totem Warrior" heritage, he was not prepared to grab it.
Since the inheritance of different tribes is not the same, it should be possible to find a way to trade the inheritance of their rival ethnic groups.
After all, before the colonists arrived, their civil war had been going on for countless years, and this kind of thing shouldn't be absent. Maybe it's a good talk, it's possible to get several copies at once.
"Leader Apsova, it's rude.
The first time we came to the New World, we had never seen a warrior as powerful as this gentleman, so I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
When we meet for the first time, please accept a small gift! "
Speaking, Aiwen handed a beautiful long box to the other party. If you want to take it, you must first give it. He still understands the truth. The gift is given out, and it is natural to talk later.
I didn't even realize that this young man had been eyeing the leader of his inheritance. When he saw the gift he was handing over, his face gradually eased.
Without the politeness and reservedness of a civilized person, he opened the box in person.
Patter----
At the same time, I heard the young man whisper;
"Unlike ordinary standard muskets at the same time, this Hawkens rifle is 0.81 meters long, weighs 4 kg, and has a caliber of .54. It can repel grizzly bears with one shot! It is a rare boutique among flintlock muskets."
The leader gently stroked the shiny walnut wood base of this musket, the brass serpentine decoration on the left side of the gun body, and the shiny barrel. Even if you haven't fired a shot~IndoMTL.com~Just judging from the appearance, you know that this is a good gun!
Close the lid gently, and put it carefully beside you.
The face of the middle-aged leader is already full of smiles. From the beginning of deciding to trade with these distant visitors, isn't it just for a better life? Weapons, iron pots, fabrics...the days that change with each passing day always make people feel comfortable.
"We Yucatan are very direct.
Although I have never seen this kind of musket, it does not prevent me from estimating its value.
Young people, please tell me what you want. In return, we will not be stingy. "
"Hahaha, Chief Apsova, indeed..."
Boom——
The wooden door was slammed open, interrupting Ivan.
"The leader! The hunting team is back, something went wrong!"
