In the 19th century, the fur trade on the American continent was very prosperous, which brought great wealth and far-reaching influence, and even supported the rise and expansion of the whole America in this period to some extent.
Now that he has the chance to come to this era, Chen Mo would like to experience this very famous activity in history.
In addition, these Indian tribes in Missouri forest, which maintain the most primitive customs and features, have been very difficult to see in the future. Chen Mo also wants to take this opportunity to have a good experience of Indian customs and see what the original owners of the American continent are like.
So for Chen Mo, the fur trade in the forest this time is more like taking students to the mountains to sketch, while enjoying the mountains and rivers, experiencing life, teaching students to improve their abilities, and making some money to supplement the teaching and research funds.
The United States, which had just begun to rise in the 19th century, and the primitive and backward Indian tribes in the wild forest all gave Chen Mo different feelings. Instead of waiting for a hundred years, he would rather be involved in the torrent of history and become a historical participant and witness. This is what many modern people yearn for but can't do. Only Chen Mo, who has the ability to shuttle between time and space, can do it There's a chance.
And even Chen Mo doesn't have many opportunities.
After so many times of crossing, Chen Mo has a certain understanding of his own ability. The space he can cross is not unlimited. All the spaces in the past have a common feature, all of which are science fiction movie world.
The background of sci-fi movies is mostly in the modern or future world, such as the legend of the night, the captain of the United States, wolverine, which involves ancient and modern sci-fi movies, after all, is a minority, thanks to Chen Mo's shuttle ability, which always brings him to the earliest plot time, so that he can have a chance to experience some historical charm and experience more What ordinary people can't experience in a lifetime.
So Chen Mo's mind is very peaceful. He walks in the forest with two small children. When he meets the armed personnel, he teaches two small battles as a teacher. When he finds the Indian tribe, he becomes a fur merchant. When he buys fur with two small children, it doesn't matter if he doesn't find it, he is just a mountain Walker and a hiker. By the way, he exploits the map like playing games and jigsaw puzzles There is a clear place to explore.
Not only is Chen Mo enjoying it, but also victor and James, who have awakened their wildness, are enjoying it. They can not only stay in the forest they like, but also fight frequently and feel the continuous improvement of their strength. They wish that they would go on like this forever.
After exploring the area that was left out before, Chen Mo added another puzzle to the incomplete forest map. With the mood of playing the game and opening the map, Chen Mo planned to change direction and go to the next still black map.
But just as he was about to leave, a very subtle voice drifted down the wind into Chen Mo's ear.
Chen Mo can't help but stand up and listen attentively. In fact, the voice has gone beyond Chen Mo's sensing range. However, at this time, the forest is very quiet and there is little noise. Chen Mo still hears this extremely subtle voice under the cover of other voices.
This is a sound of footsteps!
Although the voice is very weak, Chen Mo still hears that the footsteps seem very disorderly, as if there are many people.
Now that he has found traces of human beings, Chen Mo naturally wants to catch up and have a look.
Immediately Chen Mo led victor and James to the direction of the voice.
As the distance got closer, Chen Mo quickly got to know the situation of the other party. Chen Mo felt right before. There were more than 30 people in this group. Listening to the footsteps and occasional voices, it can be sure that they were the armed personnel of American fur company.
But this is the first time Chen Mo has met such a large team.
In the past, the armed acquisition teams were basically about ten people. This "big force" has obvious problems!
Chen Mo takes victor and James all the way to less than 100 meters away from the team, and observes the team from the side and front.
All the people in this team are carrying fireguns, but they don't carry huge backpacks specially used to hold trading materials. It seems that they are fierce and murderous. They are obviously going for some targets, and they are not just buying fur.
I just don't know whether their goal is to create a large number of casualties for them or other people.
However, it can be seen that they have sent out three armed acquisition teams, with the appearance of invigorating the teachers and mobilizing the public. Their goal is definitely not simple.
Chen Mo presses victor and James, who are eager to see so many targets. When the team passes by, they quietly follow with them.
Anyway, the prey in front of him can't run away, and Chen Mo doesn't rush to let them solve them. What he is more interested in is the goal and ultimate goal of the team.
The three of them followed the group all the way to the forest.
This is just two days.With the progress of the team, Chen Mo gradually saw some clues. The direction of the team is clearly the position of an Indian tribe.
And this tribe is also one that Chen Mo is very impressed with. It is the Lakota tribe that once hunted and killed a giant bear and warmly entertained the three of Chen mo.
Finally, as Chen Mo expected, this armed group of more than 30 people trudged through the forest and finally reached the Lakota tribe.
More than 30 people started to load when they were still a long way away from the tribe, and after they were ready to fight, they broke into the Lakota tribe directly.
However, the elite and astute fighters of Lakota tribe discovered their arrival as early as they approached, and quickly responded.
More than 30 armed white people suddenly came to their tribe. Obviously, they were not good at what they came from. So the soldiers of the tribe quickly picked up their weapons and met them. When the armed group just entered the Lakota tribe, they blocked them in the periphery and started a confrontation with them with bows and spears.
More than 50 Indian soldiers arrived one after another, armed with weapons, and looking at the enemies.
Although the weapons in their hands are not as advanced as those of the other side, they are not afraid to retreat. The bows and spears in their hands are firmly aimed at the enemy in the opposite side.
However, these fierce Indian soldiers didn't attract the attention of the other side. A middle-aged white man with beard walked out of the team without incident and looked at the Indian soldiers in the opposite side with disdainful eyes.
