After a frightening night, the next day, a black and thin native, accompanied by a group of tribal warriors, walked into the stone house, and then made no expression on Felisa’s broken nose. A correction.

The guy's movements were so vigorous that Felisa's sore throat became hoarse, but the black and thin guy was unmoved. In the end, this guy babbled and said something when he left, but unfortunately, the only Frenchman who knew Cherokee had frozen to death on the road, and Felisa didn’t even know what the guy said. What is it.

However, these aboriginal actions also made Felisa completely relieved. After all, these aboriginals can treat the major's nose and bring them food. Although it is the roughest cornmeal food, it is enough to explain this. The indigenous tribes have no desire to kill them.

Otherwise, they won't do these things, just keep them starving to death in these three stone houses.

......

"Big Bear, I think those Vasichus should be unkind. I can feel this. But they seem to be scared. If you let them go for a few more days and give them some measure, these guys will It broke down." In Stone Bear's room, the Lynx said with a rare smile.

The thin black man who gave Felisa the nose is naturally a lynx. As a member of a long-haired cow tribe, as a person who has seen stone bears from a young age, and as one of the few people who stone bears admire most, he has never changed his name for stone bears. The Lynx would call Stone Bear his guardian only in public, but privately, he called Stone Bear the name of Stone Bear in the Longhair Cattle Tribe-Great Bear.

The Bobcats have this qualification to call Stone Bear.

"Uncle Bobcat, thank you for your hard work. Since you have this judgment, then do as you say. Let those Vasicchus regain their strength today, and tomorrow will take them to Xiaoyan Mountain to mine raw salt. "Speaking, Shi Xiong stood up and walked to the window, looking at the falling snow outside, and said with some distress: "This snow is always so down, and it is estimated that the horses prepared by Colonel Jones will not be able to rush in. The cost of raising these five hundred war horses, especially in winter, is very high...Well, people are not as good as the sky."

Felisa and the Spaniards were just a small accident, and Stone Bear didn't care about it at all. Not to mention the Spaniards in the sky, even if a group of British people want to covet bullets, in this kind of weather, it will be the result of no return. The stone bear will definitely kill them in the wilderness. of.

When the weapon like the grenadier is not necessary, it will not appear in front of the Europeans for the time being.

Now Shi Xiong is more worried about the horses that Colonel Jones brought.

Some time ago, Colonel Jones sent someone to the Gaoshu tribe to pass on a message, saying that the horses had been gathered, and he was about to send someone to send it over. As a result, the messenger had just left for a few days, and it started to snow continuously.

Naturally, those horses cannot be sent here in such weather.

If there are dozens of war horses, Shi Xiong is not worried. But with a total of five hundred war horses, Shi Xiong was no longer worried.

As Shixiong feared, in this era, the cost of raising a war horse is extremely high. The cost of raising war horses in a year is even higher than the value of war horses themselves. If five hundred war horses were kept by Colonel Jones for a winter, he would definitely bankrupt the Colonel.

Although the Gaoshu tribe now has hundreds of domesticated bison, but the Gaoshu tribe has no pressure to raise these bison, because under the guidance of the stone bear, the Gaoshu tribe has long started to use silage.

Although the straight-line distance from the high tree tribe in Jamestown is not too far, there is no silage technology there.

Although silage technology originated in ancient Egypt, Europe did not get this technology until the end of the eighteenth century. Moreover, the production technology of silage was first introduced to the New World from North America by the Nordic people, and then from the New World to Britain.

In other words, now that Colonel Jones probably doesn't know how to use and make silage. Without this kind of feed, if you want to raise such a large number of war horses in the winter, that would really bankrupt that Colonel Jones.

The Lynx said, "Don't worry, that Colonel Jones should raise these horses for you. He is reluctant to bear our old-fashioned rifles. The big deal, we'll just give him one or two hundred more guns when the deal is over."

Shi Xiong shook his head and said, "We cannot place our hope on others. Uncle Bobcat, you know these horses are very important to us. At least half of our future depends on these horses. Therefore, We cannot take it lightly."

"Why don't I take a trip?" Bobcat thought for a while and asked.

"Can I go in this weather?" Shi Xiong frowned and asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem," said the Bobcat. "We can walk along the shore of the Big Bend. The water in the Big Bend is plentiful and the temperature is high. The snow on the shore is not so deep. Besides, the further east you go, this snow It will be smaller. The Appalachian Mountains block the cold wind coming from the north. As long as you drill out of this mountain, the snow over there should not be that big."

The more the Lynx talked, the more confident he became. In the end, he firmly said: "Great Bear, leave this to me! It just so happens that our tribe is also training a group of warriors of our tribe. I plan to bring the 200 warriors who are ready to train. Riding a cow to drive over. A cow is more reliable than a horse in this kind of weather."

"But how to solve the feeding problem of the cattle and the war horses? How to solve the low temperature problem?" Shixiong shook his head, "Uncle Lynx, don't take risks. Even if we receive those war horses, those war horses are in such a cold day. It’s also difficult to reach our tribe."

"No, Great Bear. According to what you said, if you want to raise these horses for one winter, it will bankrupt Colonel Jones. So he is likely to disperse these concentrated horses again. If he does, then It will inevitably delay our plan for the beginning of spring next year. Therefore, I need to take a trip, even if I don’t bring these horses back, at the very least I have to send a batch of silage to Colonel Jones, so that he can feed them without any burden. War horse."

Shi Xiong heard this ~lightnovelpub.net~ and realized that he had gotten into the tip of a horn.

Since the mountain is not coming to me, then I will go to the mountain!

As the Bobcats said, since the warhorse cannot be brought back, why not send a large amount of silage to Colonel Jones? In the past two years, the Gaoshu tribe has obtained a huge harvest of soybeans. In addition, from the end of summer to the end of autumn, the people of the tribe have been making silage every day. Now the silage in the Gaoshu tribe is still adulterated. There are so many concentrates of soybean and wheat.

Even if a batch of horses eats 15 catties of silage + coarse material + fine material a day, it will only take up to 60 days from now to the temperature rise. That is to say, when the temperature rises, it needs About nine hundred catties of silage + coarse material + concentrated material, the amount of feed required for 500 horses is more than 200 tons, which is not a problem at all for the Gaoshu tribe.

And no matter how poor Colonel Jones is, at least there should be rough materials. In other words, the Gaoshu tribe only needs to pull the silage and concentrate, which saves at least half. Isn’t it just over one hundred tons of feed that can hold up one hundred and fifty tons in the sky? Two hundred bullock carts pulled over twice...
