The black gunpowder seized from these four inland river armed transport ships, to be honest, Shi Xiong did not see it, after all, the ratio of these black gunpowder has not reached the perfect state.

　　 The standard gunpowder formula used by the United Kingdom was announced as early as 1635, with saltpeter 75%, sulfur 12.5%, and charcoal 12.5%. Although this ratio is close to the perfect formula of black powder, there is still a slight gap.

　　 In fact, the most perfect ratio of black powder used in modern times should be (75±1)% for saltpeter, (10±1)% for sulfur, and (15±1)% for carbon.

　　 This perfect black powder ratio was not clarified until the end of the eighteenth century. In other words, even the black powder used by the French at this time was not made with the most perfect black powder ratio.

　　 So Shixiong intends to use these purified fire nitrates and sulfur to make a perfectly matched black powder by himself.

　　 But anyway, the gain this time is great.

　　 Seeing that the sky is bright, today is a fine and good weather, so under the arrangement of Shixiong, more than 80 tribal warriors were separated. They held weapons and a group of two "cared for" a French soldier.

　　 Of course, these four ships can't just be placed here. Compared with the materials, these four ships are invaluable.

　　With the current capabilities of the Indians, it is impossible to make such a ship. Even if this is an inland water transport ship with a displacement of only tens of tons, the Indians cannot make such a ship.

　　 The rivers in the central and eastern parts of North America are crisscrossed. With these four ships, it will be extremely convenient for the tribe’s strategic arrangements in the future. After all, more than two hundred warriors of the Retiqi tribe and one hundred musketeers of the Okron Fortress can ride these four ship gods and go deep for hundreds of miles to attack the Gaoshu tribe without any chance. With the roots of the tree that died bravely, coupled with the dangerous terrain of the Gaoshu Pass, maybe the Gaoshu tribe is really doomed this time.

Therefore, if the Gaoshu tribe owns these four inland river armed transport ships, and then the warriors in the tribe learn how to drive these four ships, then the Gaoshu tribe’s warriors can also touch Chekasha unconsciously. People's territory, even the place where the king's court was touched into Chekasha.

　　 Compared with those artillery and muskets, these four inland river armed transport ships are strategic weapons.

Li Lei and the others didn’t know the importance of these four ships, but Shixiong knew, so under Shixiong’s arrangement, two of these tribal warriors "served" the other. The purpose was to learn how to drive from these French navy soldiers. This kind of inland river armed transport ship.

　　 Although this kind of armed transport ship is an inland water transport ship, it is also a sailing ship. How to control those sails, if no one is taught, even the stone bear does not know how to control this kind of ship.

　　 This kind of sailboat that can go against the current and against the wind, the key point is how to control those sails.

　　 Under the guard of tribal warriors holding weapons, these French sailors can only honestly control these four ships. At this time, no one dared to have other ideas. They all know how ruthless the native Indians with weapons in their hands are.

　　 The fleet set sail and headed south along the Tennessee River, which was exactly the course of Constantine when they came.

　　 If Constantine knew the terrain or navigation route in this area, it would be absolutely impossible for them to land in this place.

In fact, walking a few kilometers south from the place where Constantine and the others anchored, you can see that the Tennessee River has turned a big bend here, and on the south bank of this big bend, there will be a large area similar to a lake. Waters.

　　 Viewed from the Tennessee River, this area of ​​water looks like a small lake formed by the turning of the river. There is nothing in it. This kind of lake formed by the turning of the river can be seen everywhere on the road when it came.

　　 But in fact, if they were a little bit more curious at the time and drove these four inland river armed transport ships into this lake, then they would find another river course at the end of the lake.

　　 If they go upstream along this fifty-meter-wide river, they will eventually reach the west of the Gaoshu tribe.

　　 Because this river originated in the Great Smoky Mountains and flows through the Little River from the west of the High Tree Tribe.

Although this river is not wide, the narrowest place is only a mere 50 meters wide, but the river course of this river is very deep. This kind of inland river armed transport ship with a displacement of only tens of tons walks this river and arrives directly. The west side of the Gaoshu tribe is absolutely fine.

　　 Obviously, when Captain Constantine saw this sudden emergence of the river, his face also showed a look of regret.

　　 If they were really curious at the time, then they would really be able to land on the west side of the Gaoshu tribe without knowing it, and then the entire Gaoshu tribe might have completely fallen by this time.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world. They can only honestly drive these four inland river armed transport ships under the guard of tribal warriors to the south along the channel of the Little River. . UU Reading www.uukANAnshu.com

　　 Little River has twists and turns, and it is still countercurrent, but it is winter and the north wind prevails, so although it is countercurrent, the speed of the boat is not slow.

　　 The distance of this section of the river is less than 20 kilometers. The four boats ran for almost two hours before they arrived at the Gaoshu tribe.

　　 Seeing that this river is only a few hundred meters away from the target, whether it is Captain Constantine or Major Armand, both of them are now thinking of killing each other.

However, this incident also reminds the Stone Bear and Li Lei that they should not think that the Gaoshu tribe is in the hinterland of the Cherokee tribe. There are rivers to the west and north for protection, and the Great Smoky Mountains to the south as a barrier. But here is still not an absolutely safe place.

　　 It's like this time, if the Chekasa-French coalition really knew the Little River channel, then the current Gaoshu tribe would have no more chickens and dogs.

　　 Therefore, in the future, the alert circle of the tribe must be expanded. At the very least, enemies cannot be allowed to touch it along the river.

　　 When necessary, a warning point should be set up at the confluence of Little River and Big Bend, which is the Tennessee River. Once an enemy touches it, lighting the wolf smoke can let the tribe know the enemy at least two hours in advance.

　　 Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need Shi Xiong to worry about, Li Lei should be able to arrange it soon.

　　 went out for a day and night, and brought back forty or fifty Vasichus with blond hair and blue eyes when he returned, which caused a sensation in the tribe again.

　　 Even Lieutenant Ferguson appeared on the edge of the river with a fast horse and a hard bone. Seeing the soldiers in the tribe escorting dozens of French soldiers down from the ship, Lieutenant Ferguson's face also bloomed with joy.
