Chapter 4 Magical Gold Coins
Although Xiao Lin knew that the white colonists in the early stage were all hooligans, gangsters, mercenaries who could not survive, they did not know that these people's contempt and hostility towards the Indians reached such a powerful level. The day after Xiao Lin and Sai Qunxiong returned to the tribe, the people of the Eagle Tribe had a conflict with this wave of pioneering colonists. The cause of this incident was that a young warrior in the tribe used a trap to catch a deer, which was enough for three people to eat for two days.
As a result, the young warriors in the tribe were robbed by the pioneers when they were packing up their prey. They took away the young warrior's prey and beat him up. According to the young warrior, if it weren't for the stop of a young man, he might have been stabbed to death by the pioneers with a strange spear. Xiao Lin took out his first aid kit and helped the young warrior to handle the wounds so that he could get out of bed the next day.
These pioneers were in a flat ground six kilometers away from the tribe. They set up many tents here. Usually most people cut down trees and build houses, while some of the people with weapons searched for prey around them to avoid the food they brought early. However, this radius of five kilometers is the hunting range of the Eagle Tribe, and the hunting ranges of the two sides overlap. In this way, the conflict between the pioneers and the Eagle Tribe cannot be avoided again.
If the warriors of the Eagle Tribe were to kill all these pioneers. But Xiao Lin was different. If Xiao Lin wanted to build his own empire on the American continent, at least some industrialization must be completed. At least, there must be the ability to manufacture single-shot rifles on a large scale. Indians are okay as soldiers and farmers, but if they want to become workers and excellent merchants, the cost and energy they will take will be in vain. But these Europeans are different. They are at least people from civilized society. Even if they were not workers before, and even if most people now have cultural levels that are not as good as junior high school students, it is still possible to be a front-line worker. After all, Xiao Lin could not build an empire by himself.
The Eagle Tribe is not a tribe that swallows its anger. Although the size of the 300 warriors cannot beat those medium and large tribes, they can still dominate the small tribes. There are only more than 300 enemies and only dozens of warriors. This power can only be considered weak for the Eagle Tribe. In this way, the Eagle Tribe decided to declare war on these pioneers. If it weren't for Xiao Lin, the Eagle Tribe might not be able to beat those pioneers. Only thirty warriors holding flintlock guns could defeat these Indians using primitive weapons.
However, the Eagle Tribe now has a powerful composite bow with an effective range of 150 meters and a steel knife that can break through the iron armor. Xiao Lin can already foresee the outcome of these pioneers. Either they were slaughtered by the Eagle Tribe, or someone was staring at the civilians to escape. Xiao Lin calculated that one-third of the things he brought these days were sold out, which was already considered a profit. Xiao Lin planned to continue to sell half of the remaining two-thirds of the goods as goods, and the other half, as rewards, let the Eagle Tribe capture these pioneers as his slaves.
The war was originally launched by anger, and not only did they not get any good things, but they would also sacrifice some warriors. However, as Xiao Lin did this, they could obtain the magical weapons and weapons in Xiao Lin's hands. The Eagle Tribe was so happy. The Eagle even expressed that she was willing to provide warriors to help with the slaves when Xiao Lin said that he did not have so many people to take care of the slaves, as long as Xiao Lin paid the reward.
Xiao Lin had already negotiated with the Eagle leader the price, including the cost of hiring warriors to take care of. An adult white man with one child can get a steel knife, and five adult men can change a compound bow, and five older men need a knife and ten others to change a bow. The high price for the elderly is mainly to prevent the tribal warriors from killing too many family members of the pioneers, so as not to be difficult to buy them in the future to gain their loyalty.
Xiao Lin hires soldiers of the Eagle Tribe to take care of slaves. Two days a steel knife, and five days a composite bow. Xiao Lin wants to buy the food needed by slaves. One hundred people have a composite bow and a steel knife to keep them from dying. In these few days, Xiao Lin can bear the survival of these slaves by himself. You must know that in modern society, instant noodles are sold in May Day packs, and Xiao Lin can use a piece of beaver skin to manage instant noodles for a long time.
After the price was negotiated, Xiao Lin was not in a hurry to return to modern society. On the one hand, he didn't know how many white slaves could be caught. On the other hand, he also wanted to wait for most of the goods to be sold and return to modern society with more good things. Making those composite bows and steel knives before has brought hope to the workers and his mother, but he has almost exhausted his last bit of his old fortune. If he could not bring back more funds and business, more than 50 workers in the entire factory who have been following the Xiao family would be very disappointed.
Besides, Xiao Lin also wanted to see if these Indians could be qualified soldiers. If they didn't work, he could only give up these people and take the risk of using white people to form an army. On the fourth day, the Eagle Tribe sent a 200-man army. The Eagle Tribe was not a passionate idiot. In order to ensure victory, he asked the tribesmen to mine crazily in the past two days and bought all the 200-cent steel weapons that Xiao Lin took out to sell. Xiao Lin asked Pearl to help watch his harvest. In Pearl's opinion, she would be Xiao Lin's people in the future, and these things would be his property in the future. Although he didn't know what the yellow stones were good, they were also his own things and would not let these things be lost.
It was early in the morning when the Eagle Tribe came. As for night blindness, there were very few Indians. There were a variety of fruits and vegetables on the American continent, which made these Indians who were not only eating meat a good night war. The Eagle Tribe used to fight with other tribes, and often had night wars. At this time, the colonists were basically still in a sleepy state, with only more than ten people watching.
