Super Chief

Chapter 411: Happy

Strangely enough, there were several heavy snowfalls after the winter last year, and the weather was extremely cold. And this cold continued until this year, which was the beginning of the month of 1767.

However, after the heavy snowfall that Shixiong captured the Spaniards was over, the gods never dropped even a single piece of snow, as if the snow of the whole winter was finished by the previous heavy snowfalls.

And this big sun is also very good. If you don't know, no one will think this is the coldest wolf month (January) of the year.

Since the ox cart team and the Mendoza lieutenant were sent away, the weather began to clear, and it was more than a month when it cleared!

Come together every morning, and what you see is the rising sun. Before closing your eyes at night, the sky is either a bright moon or bright light bulb-like stars.

Later Shixiong once had trouble with a few colleagues. A few big masters in their 30s took advantage of the holiday and drove to the prairie to the north, and they wanted to see the stars for whatever they said.

In later generations, in the industrially developed province of Shandong, let alone watching the stars, it would be nice to be able to see the moon. So after drinking that day, the elders all together wanted to experience the feeling of the sky full of stars when they were young, so the elders took a self-driving tour of the grassland.

As a result, watching the stars on the grassland is really great.

Looking at the stars without haze and light pollution, the stars in the sky are really like small light bulbs! (PS: This is not an exaggeration. Lao Mo has been to the Ximeng grasslands. The stars at night are really great. Well, Lao Mo thinks that the most beautiful stars are on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Some time ago, when Lao Mo went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at night, Wrap up in a down jacket and look at the stars, the stars brighter than a small light bulb can just make people fall in...)

This is actually a very sad thing. If you want to see the stars, you have to drive thousands of kilometers. What is it that is not sad?

But it's better now. Except for the full moon sky, at other times, as long as you look up at night, the starry sky is far more beautiful than any other place in the later life. This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

What does sunny weather mean? There is no doubt that that means a rise in temperature.

Especially when the weather is fine for almost a month, what does that mean?

It's simple, the temperature rises sharply and quickly!

This is the Appalachian Mountains, not the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. If in the autumn and winter on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is commonplace to be sunny for a month, but here, sunny for a month, it is really abnormal.

But God is so convulsed.

Therefore, when a large group of horses and a caravan of cattle that consumed a small and a half of forage came to the Gaoshu tribe more than a month later, Shi Xiong only felt that God was too kind to him...

Of course, the hard work is the expeditionary soldiers who escorted the fodder.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, these fighters are mostly recruits, and it is quite necessary to exercise.

The arrival of five hundred war horses made the entire tribe seem to have started in an instant.

All the young and old of the tribe ran out to see, where have they seen so many war horses! So every excitement is like that.

The stables that have been built since the end of the Eastern Expedition have finally come into use.

Although these stables are simple, they can always keep out the wind and rain. War horses are precious possessions, and those war horses that Stone Bear worked so hard to get before have stables.

Had it not been for the cement in the past two years, the tribe had begun to build a large number of brick houses, and those stables were even better than the wooden houses inhabited by the tribesmen of the Gaoshu tribe!

During the Eastern Expedition, Shixiong and Colonel Jones reached an agreement, so after returning, they organized the tribe to start building stables on a large scale. As a result, the stables were repaired, and a few heavy snowfalls blocked the way for the five hundred war horses to reach the Gaoshu tribe.

I thought I would have to wait until the beginning of the spring to get these five hundred war horses back, but I didn’t expect that God would start to be naughty again...

Now anyway, these five hundred war horses are finally available, and there are more than seven hundred horses that can be ridden in the tribe. When the five hundred horses of the Spaniards come back, the expeditionary army will be able to form a cavalry regiment!

This time Colonel Jones came with him.

Although he is now the highest military commander of Jamestown, with the rise of Williamsburg and Richmond to the west, he, the highest military commander of Jamestown, began to become a little idle.

In fact, as early as more than 60 years ago, Williamsburg had replaced Jamestown as the capital of the colony of Virginia. Had it not been for the strategic location of Jamestown, it was also the first British colony in the New World. Colonel Jones will not be stationed in Jamestown all the time.

In fact, Jamestown is more like a large military camp, and Williamsburg, which is now ranked as the four major political, social, and economic centers of the Thirteen Colonies alongside Philadelphia, Boston, and New York, is the center of Virginia. .

In fact, during the last Eastern Expedition, the place where Colonel Jones led the troops and the expeditionary force met was not far from Williamsburg.

Colonel Jones also wanted to replace General Henry as the supreme military commander of the British Army in Virginia, but the problem was that he could not do it for the time being. Therefore, Colonel Jones has already shifted the focus of his work to how to make money.

It was for this reason that he became a greedy guy in the eyes of Major Hank and Lieutenant Ferguson.

The transaction amount involved this time is really too big. Even Colonel Jones had to pay much attention to the five hundred war horses, so he followed this transaction.

As a result, the grand reception dinner was held again, and even Colonel Jones was very satisfied after the process of receiving Chief Junnaruska had gone down.

In Shixiong's eyes, ~lightnovelpub.net~ food and drink are nothing. Colonel Jones sent these five hundred war horses all the way back, no matter how he entertained them.

If it is said that the delicious food is satisfactory to Colonel Jones, then since crossing the big bend on the pontoon and entering the jurisdiction of the High Tree Tribe, what you have seen along the way is enough to shock Colonel Jones. Up.

In any case, he could not have imagined that such an aboriginal tribe still existed in this remote and backward mountainous area.

Where are the indigenous tribes? This is better than some small towns in China!

Especially the flat roads are simply incredible.

Shocked to shocked, what should be done is still to be done.

One thousand second-hand Ferguson rifles were delivered soon. Colonel Jones had a thousand more powerful Ferguson rifles, and the Gaoshu tribe had five hundred more excellent war horses.

This is the joy of everyone!
