Strange to say, there were several heavy snows in winter last year, and the weather was very cold. And the cold continued until this year, the first month of 1767.
However, when the stone bear captured the Spaniards, the heavy snow was over, and the Lord never had a snowflake. It seemed that the snow in the winter had been finished by the previous heavy snow.
And the sun is also very good, if you don't know, no one will think that this is the coldest month of the year (January).
After seeing off the bullock carts and the lieutenant Mendoza, the weather began to clear up, and it was more than a month!
Every morning when I get up, I see the rising sun. Before I close my eyes at night, the sky is either a bright moon or a bright star like a small light bulb.
Later, stone bear and several colleagues once had waves. Several masters in their thirties drove to the northern prairie during the holiday and said they would go to see the stars.
At that time, in Shandong Province with developed industry, it was good to see the moon, not to mention the stars. So after drinking the wine that day, several old men together wanted to experience the feeling of starry sky when they were young again, so they went on a grassland self driving tour.
It turns out that looking at the stars on the grassland is really great.
Looking at the stars without haze and light pollution, the stars all over the sky are really like small light bulbs( PS: it's no exaggeration. Lao Mo has been to Ximeng grassland. The stars at night are really great. Well, Lao Mo thinks that the most beautiful star is in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. When Lao Mo went to the Qinghai Tibet plateau some time ago, he got up at night and looked at the stars in his down jacket. The stars that are brighter than a small light bulb can make people sink in...)
This is actually a very sad thing. If you want to see a star, you have to drive thousands of kilometers. What's not sad?
But now, except for the full moon, when you look up at night, the starry sky is far more beautiful than any other place in the future, which is ironic.
What does a fine day mean? There's no doubt that means a rise in temperature.
Especially when the weather is fine for nearly a month, what does that mean?
It's very simple. The temperature is rising sharply and rapidly!
This is the Appalachian Mountains, not the Tibetan Plateau. In autumn and winter on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, it is common to see a month of continuous sunshine. But here, a month of continuous sunshine is really abnormal.
But that's the way it works.
So, more than a month later, when a large group of horses and a cattle caravan that consumed less than half of the forage came to the gaoshu tribe, the stone bear only felt that God was too kind to him
Of course, it's the expeditionary soldiers who escort grass that are hard to work.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, most of these soldiers are recruits. It's quite necessary to temper them.
With the arrival of 500 horses, the whole tribe seems to be boiling in an instant.
All the old and young of the tribe have come out to see. Where have they seen so many war horses! So everyone was excited like that.
The stables, which had been built since the end of the eastern expedition, finally had a place to use.
Although these stables are simple, they can always keep out the wind and rain. War horses are precious property. All the war horses that stone bear had worked hard to get before had stables.
Had it not been for the cement in the past two years, the tribe began to build a large number of brick houses, and the stables were even better than the wooden houses where the people of gaoshu tribe lived before!
During the eastern expedition, Shi Xiong and Colonel Jones reached an agreement, so they organized people to build stables on a large scale after they came back. As a result, the stables were repaired, and several heavy snows cut off the way for the 500 horses to come to the gaoshu tribe.
I thought I would wait until spring to get these 500 horses back, but I didn't expect God to be naughty again
Now anyway, these 500 horses have finally arrived, and the tribe has more than 700 horses to ride. When the five hundred Spanish horses come back, the expeditionary army will form a cavalry regiment!
This time Colonel Jones came with him.
Although he is now the top military officer of Jamestown, with the rise of Williamsburg and Richmond in the west, he has become a bit idle.
In fact, as early as 60 years ago, Williamsburg had replaced Jamestown as the capital of Virginia Colony. If Jamestown had not been strategically important and was also the first British colony in the new world, Colonel Jones would not have been stationed in Jamestown.
In fact, Jamestown is now more like a big military camp, while Williamsburg, which is now the political, social and economic center of the thirteen colonies along with Philadelphia, Boston and New York, is the center of Virginia.
In fact, during the last crusade, the place where Colonel Jones led the troops and the expedition met was not far from Williamsburg.
Colonel Jones also wanted to replace General Henry as the top military officer of the British army in Virginia, but the problem is that he can't do it for the time being. Therefore, Colonel Jones has long begun to shift his focus to how to make money.
It is for this reason that he became a greedy guy in the eyes of major Hank and lieutenant Ferguson.
The volume of the transaction involved was so huge that even Colonel Jones had to attach great importance to the 500 horses, so he came with the transaction.
As a result, the grand reception dinner was held again. Even Colonel Jones was very satisfied with the previous process of receiving chief junaluska.
In the eyes of the stone bear, eating and drinking are nothing. Colonel Jones has sent these 500 horses all the way here, no matter how he treats them.
If the delicious food satisfied Colonel Jones, what he saw along the way after crossing the big bend from the pontoon to the jurisdiction of the high tree tribe was enough to shock him.
He never thought that there was such an aboriginal tribe in this remote and backward mountain area.
Where is this aboriginal tribe? It's better than some small towns in China!
Especially the flat road, it is incredible.
Shock is shock. What should be done should be done.
A thousand second-hand rifles were soon delivered. Colonel Jones has 1000 more powerful Ferguson rifles, while the gaoshu tribe has 500 more excellent horses.
This is the happy thing for all!
