Chapter fifty-two, vertical and horizontal (Singles' Day)
He decided to start a war without consulting the Spanish. On the one hand, Ye Feiyu's mentality and strategy for North America changed, on the other hand, he declared force against the Europeans and Indians in the entire North America, and on the other hand, he saw whether the people from the Grizzly Tribe listened to his orders.
The reactions of Sabul and the elders of the Grizzly Tribe were very satisfying Ye Feiyu, and he immediately said that he could send 500 soldiers to go to war with Ye Feiyu, but naturally he would not provide weapons and ammunition supplies, and Ye Feiyu also needed to provide food. At the same time, he knocked on Ye Feiyu's three thousand labor protection suits.
Sabul and others were not fools. They had already seen Ye Feiyu’s plan clearly, but they had no other choice.
Listening to Ye Feiyu's words, it can make the tribe live a better life and expand the tribe quickly. If you turn against Ye Feiyu, it is very simple to support another tribe with Ye Feiyu's magical means. Sabul and others cannot violate the will of ordinary tribesmen. For their own power, they can only try to get more benefits from Ye Feiyu.
Ye Feiyu doesn't care how much the price he pays. As long as the people from the Grizzly Bear tribe obey the orders, the two sides naturally hit it off.
There are not many 500 people, but the Grizzly Tribe can fight for more than 1,000 people, which is almost half the combat power of the tribe. Moreover, the people who go to the battle are all male warriors, which shows the current attitude of the Grizzly Tribe. Ye Feiyu was naturally satisfied and immediately took out 100,000 kilograms of rice and white flour, which is considered to be the employment cost for the Grizzly Tribe.
Ten thousand labor protection uniforms were also taken out, three thousand were given to the Grizzly Tribe, and the other ones were traded to other Indian tribes. There were also many other messy commodities, but unlike the porcelain and flower dew of Europeans, they were all practical utensils and supplies.
In order to facilitate the Indians to transport supplies, Ye Feiyu also specially bought a wooden cart and dozens of wheels used in rural areas, as well as tools such as nails, hammers, and saws, so that the people of the Grizzly Bear Tribe could imitate the board and cut down trees to quickly create dozens of wooden carts.
It’s not that Ye Feiyu is reluctant to buy cars for Indians. Even if he buys a hundred cheap tractors, it will only cost one or two million. The problem is that the Indians have not mastered the skills of driving and repairing. Ye Feiyu has no time to teach them how to drive, so he can only use the simplest human-powered wooden trucks, and perhaps he can help them tame some horses and bisons in the future and replace human-power.
Five hundred Indian soldiers followed the armored truck in a mighty way towards the Emma tribe.
Although these 500 people are equipped with AK47 and have enough ammunition, each with 500 rounds, a very serious problem is that the AK47 is just an assault rifle and is not good at fighting.
Although the Spanish settlement was very simple, there were wooden fences, short walls, and several forts. Ye Feiyu did not have the tools to adapt to. If he forced the attack, even if he could capture the settlement, his own casualties would be very likely.
Therefore, Ye Feiyu did not intend to only let the five hundred warriors of the Grizzly Tribe go to the battlefield. The Emma tribe next to the Spaniards will not be much smaller than the Grizzly Tribe. As long as you give enough benefits, it is not difficult to get the people of the Emma tribe to take action.
Europeans can attract many Indian vassal tribes to help and ask them to point their swords and guns at other tribes, just because the Europeans provided them with enough benefits. What's more, Ye Feiyu now lets the Emma tribe deal with outsiders like Europeans.
Modocchi, a double wolf tattooed warrior, is the warrior leader of the Emma tribe and the future patriarch. He heard that Ye Feiyu brought so many Grizzly Tribe warriors to appear near the Emma tribe camp. Even if he felt good about Ye Feiyu, he would not allow Ye Feiyu to approach the camp.
After receiving the news from the soldiers, he immediately summoned the soldiers from the tribe and led hundreds of people to block Ye Feiyu's way.
Several giant wolf with fierce light in their eyes followed Modoqi with grinning teeth and walked out of the crowd. Modoqi looked at Ye Feiyu in the armored truck with a fierce look and asked sternly: "Friend Ye, what do you mean?"
Ye Feiyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Modoqi's courage would dare to leave the team alone and come over. If he really had bad intentions, even if he didn't use AK47, the Indians' original spear throwing, bows and arrows could kill him on the spot.
Of course, this is also the difference between a backward continent and a civilized power. In the Eastern Ming Dynasty, it was long past this stage. The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If the general is killed, it will affect the morale, layout, dispatch, etc. of the entire army. Here, everyone's status is similar. If you want to convince the tribe, you can only rely on your own courage and force. If Modoqi does not have any responsibility, you will never be the leader of the Emma tribe warrior.
With the protective cover, in addition to the weapons like AK47 that can cause certain danger to him, the Indians' extremely primitive weapons could not pose any threat to Ye Feiyu. Therefore, he was relieved to get out of the truck cab and waved his hand to retreat with Blusman and other soldiers who were planning to follow him and walk towards Modocchi alone.
"Brother Modocchi, don't get me wrong. This time we brought the warriors here, not to target the Emma tribe, but to conquer the white-skinned pig settlement in the west. We also plan to exchange it with our friends in the Emma tribe."
Ye Feiyu said to Modoqi with a smile.
When Modoqi saw Ye Feiyu coming alone, he couldn't help but secretly respect him. The warriors admired the most by the Indians. Compared with Ye Feiyu, he also brought the seven giant wolf he had tamed himself, which seemed to be a little less courageous than Ye Feiyu.
"What exchange?" Modoqi saw Ye Feiyu say this, and immediately believed Ye Feiyu's words, which was really simple.
There is no reason why five million Indians were destroyed and ruled by more than one hundred thousand whites. Under the various European schemes, the Indians, who had originally had an absolute advantage, ended in defeat and enslavement.
Ye Feiyu smiled and said, "We attacked the settlements of Europeans for 500 people, and there may be casualties. Therefore, I hope that some soldiers of the Emma tribe can launch an attack with me. For this reason, I can pay 100,000 kilograms of food, a thousand exquisite machetes, and a thousand sets of clothes that can withstand the severe cold."
"So much?" Modoqi was secretly surprised.
These are the most urgent supplies needed by the Emma tribe, and are an amazing temptation that no Indian tribe can refuse.
One hundred thousand kilograms of grain are nothing to Ye Feiyu. These are the most common coarse grains. One kilogram costs only two yuan, and one hundred thousand kilograms is 200,000 kilograms. One kilogram of gold sand can be exchanged for it. But for the Emma tribe, one hundred thousand kilograms of grain can be associated with three hundred lives.
The Emma tribe now has more than 3,500 people, which does not seem to be a lot, but on the plane of the earth, the population of North America is only more than 5 million at this time.
For North America, which has 24 million square kilometers, there is only 5 million people, which shows how sparsely populated it. There is only one person in four square kilometers on average. The Emma tribe, which has more than 3500 people, is definitely a huge tribe!
According to the average, there are only less than 10,000 Indians in the vicinity of tens of thousands of square kilometers. In fact, because they are close to the sea, the climate is better than other places, and there are fish and beasts in the sea for Indians to hunt, so the population is relatively dense. There are tens of thousands of people, the Grizzly Bear Tribe with 3,000 people, the Emma Tribe with more than 3,000 people, and more than ten small tribes with a population of hundreds, with a total of 20,000 or 30,000 people.
But even a large tribe like Emma starved to death last winter, and more than half of the babies born in the winter failed to survive.
If you get 100,000 kilograms of grain and spread it to every person in the Emma tribe, you can have 30 kilograms of kilograms of food. You don’t have to go out in winter and consume relatively less energy. If you save some food, you can survive for a month. After the most difficult period, it is estimated that no one in the tribe will starve to death because of insufficient food, and most of the newborn babies will survive.
Many Indians may not understand what the concept of 100,000 jin is. However, as the leader of the hunting team of the tribe and the future patriarch, Modoqi is very clear about how much food the tribe needs in a day. Moreover, the concept of 100,000 jin has been translated by the time and space meter and has been replaced by a unit of measurement that Indians can understand. What does 100,000 jin of grain mean? Modoqi still understands.
In addition, a thousand machetes are a great improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Emma tribe.
Modoqi was not very clear about the thousand cold-proof clothes, but there was a ready-made template for him: he brought out hundreds of warriors, trembling in the biting and wet cold wind, and needed to keep moving his body to maintain his body temperature. The hundreds of grizzly tribe soldiers behind Ye Feiyu were wearing thick and strange clothes, wearing hats on his head, and wrapped in things on his hands and feet, and he could not feel the cold wind that was rushing to his face.
Ye Feiyu's condition was not rejected by Modoqi. His face changed a few times, swallowed his saliva, and his voice became a little hoarse and said with difficulty: "Friend Ye, you have taken out so many things, how many soldiers do you need to fight?"
He paused and said, "The White-Skinned Pig's camp is not easy to capture. When they came, we fought with them. The White-Skinned Pig's melee was very powerful and those huge artillery could not resist it. It could kill several soldiers with one shot. We died more than 300 soldiers, but they could not be driven away."
It seems that there is also a lot of hatred between the Emma tribe and the Spanish settlement.
A tribe as big as the Emma tribe requires almost ten bison meat a day, and the hunting area is over 100 square kilometers. A settlement of white-skinned pigs suddenly appeared nearby. They would definitely not sit and watch the other party seize their own territory. It is predictable to launch an attack on the Spanish settlement by relying on the advantage of large populations.
Ye Feiyu smiled and called the sharpshooter Karon over and asked him to fire at a half-man-tall rock next to him.
With a bang, a small tree growing on the big rock was interrupted by the sharpshooter Karon, a sharpshooter, and then activated the continuous shooting mode. The remaining twenty-nine bullets poured out instantly, causing the rock to splash everywhere, and there were finger-deep bullet craters.
