Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 317: Brown bear warrior and accident
Latest URL: At the beginning.
Because they were 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, causing extremely heavy losses. .
At that time, the number of pioneers who came here from the Tulip mainland was too small, and even with more sharp weapons, they really suffered a few times.
Later, they simply followed suit and tried to make friends with some of the Hurons who were opposed to the Iroquois.
Not only did they form an alliance, 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 colony system, mostly using them as lower-level labor.
Just like the Anuma chiefs who bought and sold their compatriots in the Southern Continent, the experienced pioneers were 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, belief, concept, 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, the most important pillar industries are all kinds of fur, which are in high demand at local prices! 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 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 to the mainland Make a fortune!
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 gold lion around one thousand round trips.
Da da da...
They rode 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.
But after all, I didn't go too deep into an uninhabited place. Although there were some difficulties, it still allowed the carriage to pass.
Starting in the afternoon, after walking for nearly two hours, they finally arrived at their destination by a clear river.
This is a group of the Hurons 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 Necardo, here is only a small part of the Yucatan tribe.
Due to the environmental carrying capacity, there are still thousands of large troops scattered in other places deep inland.
Most of the fur captured by the entire Yucatan tribe will be concentrated 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.
They are dedicated to serving the bravest hunter "Shanke" among the Atrians, who have spent months alone in the wilderness, holding the most cherished furs in their hands.
beep--
Seeing the arrival of the convoy from afar, the outposts outside the tribe have already blew their horns.
In an instant, a group of muscular men with dark brown skins in animal fur and gorgeous fabrics rushed out of the houses.
Some people have bows and arrows, spears, and more people have cold guns!
If it weren't for the appearance and clothes, people would think that they had come to an immigrant settlement.
Aiwen paid special attention to the fact that even the multi-purpose shawl called "Leibosuo" worn by most of them is already a local industrial fabric.
The most important thing is to fully consider the needs of customers, and the patterns above are still indigenous. Changing cotton textiles to fur, this business is doing well!
"Hahaha, my friend, welcome you!"
Seeing the head of the chief who is hard to ignore, wearing a gorgeous feather crown, and a lean tribal leader wearing gold and bone accessories, he waved his tribe back.
Only one indigenous warrior with dark skin, tall and robust, and the same as Gary's was left.
He walked out the door of the camp, greeted the guests with a big smile in Union language.
"Chief Apsova, I'm so happy to meet you!"
Nekado dismounted and hugged the other side cordially.
The next step is simple.
I have been in contact for many years and have traded many times, and the two parties have already been familiar with each other.
The employees from Donglunzhi Company and the natives in the tribe who are responsible for the transaction check the goods of both sides, inspect, register, unload and load the goods.
Irving 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 really not easy to see you 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 the Falitis 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 opponent's leader, Ivan put the target on the strong warrior sitting beside 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--!
That strong native warrior obviously possesses extraordinary keen senses, or it may be that Aiwen's movements are too obvious, and soon he found this strange white-skinned young man looking at him.
He turned his eyes to Aiwen, although his eyes were small, he was 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, they are not enough to fight by themselves.
On the contrary, Gary, who was next to Irvine, saw the other party's somewhat rude "fierce" eyes. This violent temper instantly glared his eyes in return.
The two who were chatting soon discovered the subtle changes in the atmosphere around them.
"Uvakaza!"
After interrupting the sight of the "Brown Bear Warrior" around him and the guests, Apsova noticed the new faces who had come with Nicardo and their unusualness.
In particular, 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, a naval officer of our 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 here specially to visit. "
Although he is only a civilian official, it does not mean that Nekado is ignorant of transcendents.
He said that he winked at Ai Wen, and signaled that although the other party was lagging behind in equipment, his samurai was extremely powerful, and it was best not to make any misunderstandings.
Although Aiwen was very interested in their "Totem Warrior" heritage, he was not prepared to grab it.
Since the inheritance of the various tribes is not the same, it should be possible to find a way to trade the inheritance of their hostile 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.
We came to the New World for the first time, and we hadn't seen a fighter as powerful as this gentleman, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When you meet for the first time, please accept a small gift! "
Speaking, Aiwen handed a beautiful long box to the other party, and he had to give it first if he wanted it. He still understood the truth. The gift is given out, and it is natural to talk later.
He didn't realize that the young man had been eyeing the leader of his inheritance, and his face gradually eased when he saw the gift handed over by him.
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 Hawkins rifle is 0.81 meters long, weighs 4 kilograms, 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 without firing a shot, UU reading www. uukanshu.com only judges from the appearance, knows 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 such a 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..."
Bang--
The wooden door was slammed open, interrupting Ivan.
"Chief! The hunting team is back, something went wrong!"
