Super Chief

Chapter 77: Red Shrimp Soldier

Of course, the reason that attracted the English colonists to risk the long journey to the Gaoshu tribe was not just that the Gaoshu tribe was the Kabru sacrificial line. The main reason was that it had the best **** fur within a hundred miles. .

  The high tree tribe includes the small tribes separated from the high tree tribe. Most of them live near the Big Bend. A large number of beavers live in the Tennessee River. These **** skins, which are extremely precious in Europe, became the target of the English colonists.

  Of course, the gold and various gems rich in the Gaoshu tribe were also what these English colonists most hoped for.

Had it not been for the High Tree Tribe in the depths of the Appalachian Mountains, there were still many Cherokee tribes between the tribe and the colonists. With the greed of these English colonists, they might have targeted The star aimed at the Gaoshu tribe.

   It was a little strange to see that his guardian looked at those Vasichus, his face changed again and again, Hong Yun finally couldn't help asking: "Are you not welcome these Vasichus?"

   Hongyun's words awakened Shi Xiong from his contemplation. He was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not that these Englishmen are not welcome, but all Vasichus are not welcome."

   Shi Xiong looked at the two Englishmen who were negotiating with Li Lei. They were wearing the most popular red military uniforms in Britain at this time. Shi Xiong also judged their origins from their military uniforms.

   In the 16th and 17th centuries, the military uniforms of various European countries still had their own characteristics. You can tell which country's military uniforms are at a glance. But after the eighteenth century, the military uniforms of various European countries have almost become the same as those carved out of a mold-three-cornered hats and tuxedos. The only thing that can distinguish the uniforms of various countries is the color.

   Like Austria’s military uniforms are white, Prussian military uniforms are Prussian blue, Russian military uniforms are green, French military uniforms are sky blue, and English military uniforms are red.

   The red military uniform worn by the Englishmen was also called the "red shrimp uniform" in later generations. The English soldier wearing the "red shrimp uniform" was also called the "red shrimp soldier"...

   In fact, until the 21st century, the British Royal Guard retained the color of the uniform of the 18th century. Although the hat was replaced with a precious black bearskin hat, you can still see the style of the English Red Shrimp.

  The Vasichus who came to the Gaoshu tribe all wore red tuxedos, black cocked hats, black breeches and high riding boots underneath. At first glance, they knew they were elites in the English army.

   is not an elite, nor dare to go hundreds of miles to the Gaoshu tribe.

   In fact, the object of trading with the Gaoshu tribe in these decades has always been the English army.

"Why? These Vasichus have always treated our tribe well since they started trading with our tribe. They also brought us many things that our tribe doesn't have, such as ironware, those green beautiful crystals, grain seeds, fine wine, Cotton cloth, etc., these are all things the tribe urgently needs."

   "They are weasels giving New Year greetings to chickens!"

   "Weasel? Chicken?" Hong Yun was puzzled.

"Anyway, I didn't mean it well." Shi Xiong didn't bother to explain to Hong Yun, but he still said: "Your Kabru's prophecy of offering sacrifices to ancestors is correct. The great sun **** once pointed me out. These Vasicchus are not too powerful now. Once they become strong, they will not use this trading method for our people. They will ride on horses and use their muskets to **** us. Something, even slaughter our people. Now they are using this seemingly fair way of trading, in fact, they are slowly accumulating strength."

   "Is this true?" Hong Yun asked with some horror.

"I don’t know whether it’s true or not. Anyway, if we don’t become stronger on our own, then we are destined to be slaughtered by the descendants of Vasichu. But the great sun **** also pointed me to me, as long as we can Rapid development and growth, uniting all compatriots who can unite to form a powerful regime, then these Vasicchus dare not do anything to us."

   After a pause, Shi Xiong looked at Hong Yun’s eyes and said, “The great sun **** pointed me to lead all the people to resist the invasion of Vasichu. And I’m doing this work now!”

   "You teach the people how to grow food, how to tame bison, how to build steel, and how to make salt. Is this your job?" Hong Yun asked excitedly.

"This is just the basis for us to become stronger. We are too far behind these Vasicchus, not to mention, just the muskets in the hands of the Vasicchus are not something that our swords and axes can deal with. Yes. And if we want to develop stronger than the Wassichus, we must do all the basic things well, so as to surpass these Wassichus~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Speaking, Shixiong points to those two. An English officer carrying a musket said: "When we can make qualified steel, then we can build the musket ourselves, and I promise to be more advanced and more powerful than the muskets carried by these Vasitus. "

   "But I heard that if you use a musket, you need to use a kind of magical gunpowder." Hearing that the guardian said that the clansmen could also make a musket, Hong Yun was a little excited.

   "Hehe, the gunpowder you said is actually very easy to make, even the more powerful gunpowder, the supreme sun **** has given me instructions on how to do it. It's just that we don't have a musket now, it's too early to make those things."

   Shi Xiong's words made Hong Yun's eyes all worshipful gazes. This kind of gaze made Shi Xiong's old face a bit hot...

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

   And if the Guardian can really create the powerful muskets that the Vasicchus hold, then it would be impossible for the Cherokee to fight back to the Great Lakes area.

Of course, Hong Yun did not forget what the guardian said about these Vasichus, so after a while, Hongyun asked in a low voice: "Would you like to expel these Vasichus? Or simply... ...." Hong Yun made a beheading motion.

Shi Xiong shook his head again, "Don't do this, don't do this for now. At least these English people have not turned our face with us, we also need to maintain a smooth transaction channel with them. Because I also need some from the European continent. Materials or people!"
