To win over the vast majority of people, to suppress a small number of people, to add carrots and sticks, and to resolutely implement the three key points are what Shi Xiong has focused on in the past four years.
In doing so, the effect is obviously better than the stone bear expected.
Originally, stone bear thought it would take at least five, six, seven or eight years to integrate these conquered tribes completely, but now only four years later, the integration is surprisingly good.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved.
After all, the North American Indians in this era are a group of uncivilized aborigines. They are not as ignorant as the primitive people, but they are not much better than those black brothers and sisters in Africa.
Primitive ignorance and backwardness means being easily fooled.
In his last life, Shi Xiong remembers that when he was in middle school, that is, in the mid-1990s, the kind of string selling that came in from abroad was not without deceiving people.
Why was serial sale so popular in China at that time? Why can so many people be fooled into doing such illegal things? In fact, it's very simple, because the Chinese people at that time had little knowledge and had little resistance to such foreign things, so they were sure to cheat.
But at that time when the spirit of the stone bear was wearing it, the string pin could not deceive many people. This is because with the advent of the era of information explosion, the Chinese people have more and more knowledge and understand more and more, so this thing can't fool people any more.
And the Indians of this era even fickle than the Chinese people of previous generations, so that they can eat enough and drink enough, and give them some "high-grade" enjoyment like cigarettes and Baijiu, so that they can think that God is coming.
In addition, several other methods are implemented together, and the "sea, land and air" trinity of deception directly fooled these Indians.
From the spring of 1771 to the spring of 1775, the integration progress of these Indian tribes in the territory controlled by the Cherokee was more than 95%, even higher. At present, it is distributed in more than 200 large gathering places with an area of more than 4 million square kilometers. All the tribes get along very well with each other. It can't be said that they are the same as a family. However, the previous situation of mutual hatred and estrangement has completely disappeared.
In particular, the closer to Shangjing, the higher the degree of integration.
For example, in this large gathering place where the chekssacks and the black cattle live, all the clansmen living in it now regard themselves as Cherokees.
Well, there may be some people with ulterior motives, but they'd better keep their careful thinking deep in their heart. Otherwise, once a little bit is revealed, the ubiquitous "spies" will report the situation immediately, and then the tribal mines will certainly dig more mines.
These so-called spies are actually the Indians of the conquered tribes.
Because the stone bear has clearly announced that whoever can provide information about someone who wants to rebel will be given a heavy reward!
It's better to let the bear army watch these people than to use them to watch their own people.
A very simple way is to use people's instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages to tell these people that as long as you contribute to the tribe, you will get a heavy reward. If you betray the tribe, you will get a heavy punishment - being sent to the mine is the lowest punishment. Seriously, just look at those skeletons that have been dried on the stick!
It's human instinct to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. No one wants to be sent to the mine, let alone become a skeleton. So, monitoring others soon became the norm.
Of course, this method will not last long, because the stone bear will transfer some of the people from these gathering places to other gathering places every once in a while, and then transfer the people from other gathering places to here
Constant flow can avoid the hostility formed by mutual surveillance.
Only by constantly letting people flow, can the integration be accelerated faster.
Of course, in the past four years, other issues of the Cherokee people have also gone very smoothly.
The first is that grain reserves reached a new peak last autumn.
With the use of new farming tools and new farming methods, the food production of the Cherokee people is increasing. Even if there were no chemical fertilizer in this era, the grain yield per mu was far less than that of later generations, but most of the sites controlled by the Cherokees were very fertile land, and the population controlled by the Cherokees was only over 1.5 million.
With such a huge area of cultivated land and such a small population, the annual harvest of grain is naturally endless. Therefore, the large granaries built in monongahira, the original site of gaoshu tribe, near Shangjing, southwest, northwest, Southeast and other important towns, and Norfolk port are full of grain.
It is no exaggeration to say that just the grain accumulated in these granaries is enough for the 1.5 million people controlled by the Cherokee people to eat for two years!
Adequate food is the foundation of the foundation. With sufficient food, other human resources can be fully guaranteed. Whether it's the source of the bear army or the workers needed by other industries, the Cherokee have never been short of them.
And with more and more alchemists coming from Europe, other industries of the whole Cherokee tribe have also been greatly developed.
Transportation, construction and other basic livelihood industries have been greatly developed, and industries such as industry and military industry have also made great progress.
In four years, the 76mm artillery of the bear army has been widely used. Now those military lunatics are even trying to develop 105mm caliber guns
The mechanical manufacturing team headed by Jack Williams has successfully applied the improved steam engine in many aspects, and even gradually replaced hydraulic power.
The basic materials team headed by David adian has also made great progress in the research and development of steel and various alloy steels. The 105mm artillery being developed by the military department is implemented thanks to the development of basic materials.
The people's livelihood materials team headed by Bill Gates has also greatly improved its application technology in cement, paper, road construction, construction and other livelihood industries.
The medical team headed by Jean Agust has also made great progress in vaccinia vaccination, surgery and field medicine. Even under the guidance of stone bear, Agust's team is trying to cultivate penicillin
And under the leadership of guy Roy, things are going well in electromagnetic communications. Now the tribe has a radio communication mode with a communication distance of 200 kilometers. Now, gaddie Roy, they're working on a radio that's far away!
In the far west of the Atlantic Ocean, Norfolk, a port city including a shipyard, has begun to take shape. It has long been regarded as the main port and shipyard of the tribe in the Atlantic Ocean. Now there are more than 30000 people living here. In addition, the fourth division, as the main force of the storm bear army, is also stationed here.
Generally speaking, the strength of the whole tribe has been improved in the past four years. Now, everything is ready. Stone bear is waiting for the sound of Lexington's gun to launch the northern expedition to the tribes in the northern Great Lakes region!
