Chapter 77

Of course, the reason why the English colonists took the risk to travel to the gaoshu tribe was not only that the gaoshu tribe was a part of kabulu's sacrifice, but also that it had the best beaver fur for hundreds of miles.

The high tree tribe, including those small tribes separated from the high tree tribe, mostly lived near the big bend, while a large number of beavers lived in the Tennessee River. These beaver skins, which were extremely precious in Europe, became the target of English colonists.

Of course, the gold and various gems of the gaoshu tribe were also what the English colonists wanted most.

Had it not been for the fact that the gaoshu tribe was deep in the Appalachian Mountains, and there were many Cherokee tribes between the tribe and the colonists, they might have targeted the gaoshu tribe with the greed of these English colonists.

Seeing that his guardian's eyes were strange and his face changed again and again, Hongyun finally asked, "do you not welcome these vasichu?"

Red cloud's words awakened stone bear from his meditation. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "it's not that these English people are not welcome, but that all vasichu are not welcome."

Stone Bear looked at the two Englishmen who were negotiating with Li Lei. They were wearing the most popular red military uniform in England at that time. Stone bear also judged their origins from their military uniforms.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the military uniforms of European countries still had their own characteristics. You can see which country they were. However, after the 18th century, the military uniforms of European countries almost became the same ones carved from one mold - trichat and swallow tail shirt. The only thing that can distinguish the uniforms of different countries is the color.

For example, Austria's military uniform is white, Prussian's military uniform is Prussian blue, Russia's military uniform is green, France's military uniform is sky blue, and the British military uniform is red.

This kind of red uniform worn by the English people is also called "red shrimp uniform" in later generations. The English soldiers wearing "red shrimp uniform" are also called "red shrimp soldiers"

As a matter of fact, until the 21st century, the British royal guards kept the uniform color of the 18th century. Although the hat was replaced by the precious black bear skin hat, we can still see the style of the red shrimp soldiers in England.

The vasichus who came to the gaoshu tribe were all dressed in red tuxedos, black triangle hats, black breeches and high boots. They were the elite of the English army.

They are not elite and dare not go deep into the gaoshu tribe for hundreds of miles.

In fact, for decades, it has been the army of England that has been trading with the high tree tribe.

"Why? These vasichus have been good to our tribe ever since they made a deal with our tribe. It also brought us a lot of things that our tribe didn't have, such as ironware, those beautiful green crystals, grain seeds, wine, cotton cloth and so on, which the tribe urgently needed. "

"It's a weasel giving new year's greetings to the chicken!"

"The weasel? Chicken Hong Yun is puzzled.

"Anyway, it means no good intentions." The stone bear didn't want to explain to Hongyun, but he said, "your kabulu's prophecy is right. The Great Sun God once told me that these vasichus are not too powerful now. Once they become powerful, they won't use this kind of trading method to our people, They will ride horses, use their guns to rob us, and even slaughter our people. Now they use this seemingly fair way of trading, in fact, they are slowly accumulating strength. "

"Is that true?" Red cloud some panic of ask a way.

"Really not really, I don't know. Anyway, if we don't become strong, then we are doomed to be slaughtered by these vasichu's descendants in the future. But the great sun god also told me that as long as we can grow rapidly and unite with all our compatriots who can unite to form a powerful regime, then these vasichus will not dare to do anything to us. "

After a pause, the stone Bear looked into the red cloud's eyes and said, "the great sun god instructed me to lead all the people to resist the invasion of vasichu. And I'm doing it now! "

"Is it your job to teach people how to grow grain, how to tame bison, how to make steel and how to make salt?" Hongyun asked excitedly.

"It's just the foundation that makes us strong. We are too far behind these vasichus. Apart from other things, the muskets in the hands of vasichus are not what our swords and axes can handle. And if we want to develop stronger than the vasichus, we have to do all the basic things well, so that we can surpass the vasichus. "

Then the stone bear pointed to the two English officers' muskets and said, "when we can produce qualified steel, then we can build our own muskets, and I promise that we will be more advanced and powerful than the muskets of these vasichus."

"But I've heard that if you use a musket, you need a magic powder." Red cloud is a little excited to hear the guardian say that the people will be able to make guns in the future.

"Ha ha, the gunpowder you said is actually very easy to use. Even the more powerful gunpowder, the supreme Sun God, has instructed me how to do it. But now we don't have muskets. It's too early to do that. "

Stone bear's words make red cloud's eyes full of adoring eyes, which makes stone bear's old face a little hot

Although Hongyun is the sacrifice of a tribe, she knows that whether a tribe can develop and grow, and the force is definitely in the first place. The reason why the Cherokees were expelled by the Iroquois and the delavais was that their fists were not as big as others.

And if the guardians can really make the powerful muskets that the vasichus have, it's not impossible for the Cherokees to return to the Great Lakes.

Of course, Hongyun didn't forget what the guardian said just now about these vasichu, so after YY for a while, Hongyun asked in a low voice: "do you want to expel these vasichu? Or just... "Red cloud made a beheading action.

The stone bear shook his head again. "Don't do this. Don't do this for the time being. At least now these English people have not turned against us. We also need to maintain an open trading channel with them. Because I also need some materials or people from the European continent! "
