Chen Mo, who initially completed the layout of New York, began to focus on the undeveloped western part of the United States. He bought a lot of land in these areas, set up a large-scale ranch, and recruited a large number of cowboys to work for him.
However, at the same time, fur trade was not left behind by Chen Mopao. After the collapse of John Jacob Astor, the American Fur Company disappeared quickly. The Lakota tribe completely controlled the fur trade in Missouri, and walked out of the forest, gradually spreading the fur trade to the whole Missouri River and even the Mississippi River Basin.
At the same time, with the strength of Victor and James far beyond the ordinary people and the continuous propaganda of Lakota tribe, Chen Mo's identity has gradually been mythologized. Many Indian tribes in Missouri have gradually accepted this statement under the influence of these legends and more and more people who have witnessed victor and James's magical ability Chen Mo, who has the same skin color as them, is a mysterious and powerful being.
In addition, Lakota tribe has now obtained a large number of advanced fireguns from Chen Mo, and has a strong strength to crush all tribes. These tribes are gradually accepted by Lakota tribe and included in Chen Mo's command.
There are more and more Indian soldiers under Chen Mo, and Missouri has become Chen Mo's territory. Even those lands around New York belonging to Chen Mo can often see the fierce Indian soldiers.
But at the same time, Victor and James also gradually lost the chance to fight.
Although they began to expand to the periphery after they had completely controlled Missouri, the tribes in the plain area outside the forest were not as dense as those in the forest, and they often did not see people for a long time. What they met were all Indian tribes living in the plain area, and they seldom met fur merchants.
These Indian tribes are the main targets of their trade and the targets of their collection. Naturally, they will not attack easily. The sporadic fur merchants they meet occasionally, at most, are teams of more than ten people. Many of them are still father and son, uncle and nephew partners. They are not as fierce and brutal as the armed men of American fur company. Victor and James have not killed them Divide the objects and kill them when you see them.
So gradually, the two of them had no chance to start.
But it's not a problem for Chen Mo, isn't it easy to fight? Without American fur company, isn't there any other fur company?
At least at this stage, it's best to take advantage of these unscrupulous monopoly fur companies.
On the one hand, they not only oppressed and exploited the Indians who traded fur with them in the controlled area, but also brutally slaughtered other fur traders who invaded their "territory". It can be said that all hands were covered with blood. No matter Chen Mo or victor or or James, they had no psychological pressure to practice with them.
On the other hand, while eliminating the armed personnel of these fur companies, they can also seize the fur resources occupied by them, and bring sufficient funds to Chen Mo's enclosure action and a series of subsequent plans.
So after completely occupying the fur trade in Missouri, Chen Mo recalled victor and James and sent them to Kansas, where there is a bigger forest than Missouri, the Rockies!
And their goal this time is Jim brid's Rocky Mountain fur company!
This is a fur company stronger than the American Fur Company under John Jacobs Astor. It has more than 2000 armed personnel, who are living in the rocky mountains covered with grizzly bears, brown bears, mountain lions and other fierce animals all the year round. These armed personnel are more fierce and more powerful than the American Fur Company's personnel, but they are more powerful for Victor and James is the best, the strength of the two people is constantly improving the need for more powerful opponents to hone their combat effectiveness.
The fur trade in Missouri and the expansion of the Mississippi River Basin were all in the hands of chief Geronimo of the Lakota tribe.
Lakota tribe is no longer the weak tribe that may be destroyed in the face of more than 30 armed men. It integrates the Lakota tribe in the whole Missouri jungle. It is also the most powerful one among all Indian tribes in the United States. Moreover, unlike other tribes that are blocked, oppressed and exploited, they are supported by Chen Mo, who is in the military It was even more advanced than many Indian tribes under the support of Western colonization.
After all, those colonists only need them as guns in their hands to contain the power of the United States. They will not give them too advanced equipment at all. Most of them are old and obsolete flint guns, or even fire rope guns that are eliminated by their own countries. They are not at the same level as the most advanced firing guns currently equipped by the Lakota tribe.
The Lakota tribe's expansion of the Mississippi River Basin was very smooth, no matter the fur trade or the clothing work for these "backward" Indian tribes on the plain, were all in an orderly way.
Victor and James entered the Rockies to continue to hone themselves. They were accompanied by more than 100 burly, fully armed Indian soldiers, but their main task was fur trade, while searching for the traces of Victor and James.Without chenmo's super perception, it's not easy to find a goal in the wooded Rockies by Victor and James alone.
So they are still in charge of fur purchase as they were in the Missouri jungle. It is also convenient for them to communicate with the Indians in the Rockies. Soon, they can find out the distribution and route of Indian tribe in the Rockies. Then they can make fur purchase for Victor and James at the same time Look for traces of the armed men of the Rocky Mountain fur company.
Victor and James took Indian fighters into the Rockies, while chenmo and his team continued to march to Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington in the northwest, and to enclosure the newly developed lands.
The more westward you go, the more desolate the scene around you, the less traces of human activity.
These areas have not been in the hands of the United States for a long time and have not yet been developed. Compared with the booming industrial, agricultural, commercial and economic areas in the Middle East, the west is completely desolate.
