Super Chief

Chapter 84: Carrot and stick

Knowing how shameless and brutal these colonists composed of ***, criminals, indentured slaves, bankrupts, and people at the bottom of the British mainland are, they didn’t see these two officers because of salt. Ecstatic and relaxed, on the contrary, Shi Xiong has been paying attention to the two of them very seriously.

Thanks to the stone bears who knew about the virtues of North American colonists from previous lives, I was hesitant to trade salt out with these Wassichus at first, because the stone bears knew very well that the colonists’ In terms of beating nature, once they discovered that the small Gaoshu tribe can produce refined salt, these guys are most likely to rely on the heat weapons and horses in their hands to do something against the Gaoshu tribe.

   But Shixiong urgently needs some things from Europe, such as tools, raw materials and even talents. Because Shi Xiong knows very well that relying on the people in his hand and the existing resources, if he wants to develop the Gaoshu tribe in a short period of time, it is tantamount to dreaming.

   Therefore, it is necessary to borrow from these colonists and even from the European continent. At least it is indispensable at this stage.

   But Europeans are not fools. If you want them to come up with sensitive things or even talents, they must have something to impress them.

  Gold and gemstones can certainly do this, but in terms of European greed, if the amount of gold and gemstones is small, it is estimated that these guys will look down upon them. But if there are too many, it will inevitably trigger the coveting of these colonists.

  In fact, before the founding of the United States, the colonists from Europe did not have a good person. Robbery and massacre are commonplace for them. This is not Europe with strict institutions and hierarchies, but a lawless new continent in North America!

   If you want to survive here or even make a fortune, it’s absolutely impossible if your heart is not black and your hands are not cruel.

   Here, if you don’t want to be someone else’s prey, then you yourself must first become a hunter.

   Therefore, it is best not to take out too much of things like gold and gems, otherwise, with the beating nature of this group of colonists, they will really have a great possibility of sending troops to attack the Gaoshu tribe.

   So after thinking about it, Ishikuma decided to take out the salt.

   This thing is extremely in demand. Although it is not as valuable as gold and gems, it is a material that has a larger market than gold and gems. The most important thing is that salt needs people to make it. Even if the colonists come to grab it, it's not that they capture all the people who can make salt in the Gaoshu tribe, otherwise they won't get a steady stream of salt.

   It’s as if the Pamunkis in the east have always lived in the settlements of European colonists, but they are still free. Those Vasichus don't know how to make salt, so they can only ask the Pamungki people who can make salt.

Now, they have a better way to make salt than the Pamankis, and they can make larger and higher-quality refined salt. As long as these colonists understand the meaning of long water, they won’t risk the high numbers. Tribes do, on the contrary, if their leaders realize the importance of high numbers of tribes, they will even send troops to protect high numbers of tribes.

   At the very least, before the outbreak of the war alone, if the British gang wanted to get more refined salt, they would do it out of all likelihood.

   Shixiong knew that his guess should be more accurate, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Did the ghost know that these two officers would go away as soon as they grabbed a fortune? They had twenty elite soldiers, all holding flintlock guns in their hands, so they had to guard against them.

Sure enough, after seeing the unusual look in the eyes of Major Hank and Lieutenant Ferguson, Shixiong smiled and said: "Major Hank, if I were you, I would definitely take those that just came out of my heart. Damn greed is firmly suppressed. I hope you can understand that this is the territory of the Gaoshu tribe. There are no less than a hundred warriors around your camp. And they all have this in their hands."

   said, Shi Xiong smiled and drew a small axe, a small iron axe from his waist.

   The small axe doesn't look big, it's only about one foot long, but the axe blade that exudes cold light is silently telling its sharpness.

"This is a combat weapon specially used for throwing. We call it a throwing axe! When the Mongols hit Europe hundreds of years ago, your ancestors saw the power of this throwing axe, and you should be able to Remember the power of the'Yellow Peril'. Two such throwing axes may not have much power, but if dozens or even hundreds of throwing axes are thrown at the same time, the power of the two of you should be very clear."

As he said, Shi Xiong turned around and opened the curtain of the tent, squeezed the throwing axe in his hand, and flicked his arm. The throwing axe in his hand broke through the air barrier in an instant, and he let out a dull sound. With the whistling sound, the next moment, on the trunk of a big tree about thirty meters away, the axe of this throwing axe slammed into the trunk.

   The faces of Major Hank and Lieutenant Ferguson changed suddenly.

Shi Xiong turned around slowly, still with a smile on his face, as if he had done a very trivial thing, and then his left hand touched his waist again, and an identical throwing axe appeared in his hand again. .

   "Sorry, I forgot to mention that, one of our tribe's warriors carries two throwing axes, and of course there are iron spears and bows that can be thrown farther..."

After a pause, Shi Xiong looked at the two ugly-faced officers in front of him, and continued to smile and say: "Your soldiers are holding the front-loaded muskets that were shaped by your British in 1730~www.NovelMTL .com~ You call it the Brown Beth Standard Rifle, which has a caliber of 7.6 inches (about 19 mm) and a lead shot with a diameter of 7.1 inches (about 18 mm). The best effective range will not exceed 90 meters. , The loading speed will not exceed three rounds per minute, and this rifle still has a non-fire rate of about 30%. The most important thing is that you only have 20 people. Even if you use platoon guns, how many can you handle? Where's the throwing axe? Oh, right, and the iron spear and bow and arrow that are more lethal in the hands of our tribal warriors?"

   The faces of the two men who said this were pale. As officers, they knew that what this strong barbarian had just said was good, but how could this guy know the characteristics and shortcomings of these guns?

Shi Xiong's face was stern, and he said viciously: "So, I advise you, it is better to put away that **** greed that shouldn't be there. I hope you are here for the purpose of making money instead of grabbing a grab and leaving. . If you two want to make a fortune, I will give you an excellent opportunity, this is the refined salt, I will hand over the refined salt produced by our tribe to you to represent. Oh sorry, forgot to mention the production capacity of our tribe refined salt, If our tribe is fully productive, it can produce about 30,000 pounds of refined salt a month. I wonder if this amount of refined salt will make you two rich?"

   Shi Xiong's deterrence by force just now and the words full of temptation and deceit made the faces of the two officers turn blue and white. Obviously, they are now fighting with heaven and man in their hearts.

   Shi Xiong was very satisfied with their performance. To deal with this kind of people, you have to use carrots and sticks to scare them and then give them some benefits. As long as they can clearly recognize the benefits in this matter, then this matter is completely settled.
