Super Chief

Chapter 88: A legendary figure

   Major Hank took the other eighteen soldiers away, and Lieutenant Ferguson stayed.

Nearly 10,000 pounds of refined salt stuffed Major Hank’s twenty horse-drawn carriages. Fortunately, the four-wheeled carriages in Europe have become very popular in this era. This time the carriages brought by these Wassichus are all that A four-wheeled freight wagon with a strong load-bearing capacity, otherwise Major Hank would not be able to pull the 10,000 pounds of refined salt.

  Although there are less than 10,000 pounds of salt, the goods that Major Hank brought with them did not even have a fifth of the value of the salt. Ironware and cotton cloth accounted for the bulk of these goods. The rest of the goods also contained seeds, burnt glasses of messy colors, and alcohol.

  If the stone bear did not come to the Gaoshu tribe, then these things are enough to clean up the inventory that the Gaoshu tribe has accumulated for several months. After all, these things are currently the most needed by the Gaoshu tribe's tribe.

   It's like the kind of iron pot that Major Hank brought to him, which is about the same size as the Liuyin iron pot. Let alone Europe, even in Jamestown, an iron pot is only a few pennies. But if you pull it to the Gaoshu tribe, if you don't have ten complete **** skins or two bison skins in such an iron pot, you don't want to take it away.

   But unfortunately, Shi Xiong is here now. Although he doesn't know much about prices in Europe, he also knows some things in general. He knew a lot about the prices of the most important materials such as salt, iron, horses, and grain through history books.

   Therefore, Major Hank and the others can't cover the stone bear. When Major Hank and Lieutenant Ferguson saw that almost every family in the tribe had iron weapons, and almost everyone in the warriors had an iron weapon in their hands, they knew that the iron tools they brought had completely turned into rubbish. Up.

   plus the refined salt that Shixiong brought out was really attractive to them, so these goods were almost half-for-half-delivered, and they were all thrown here.

   Major Hank must vacate all the carriages in order to pull away the precious refined salt.

   These goods are not even worth ten pounds in Jamestown. It is definitely a big profit to be able to return so much refined salt.

   Of course, these goods are only a deposit for the 10,000 pounds of salt. If Major Hank wants to continue trading, if he still wants to completely control this salt sales channel, Shi Xiong is not afraid that he will not come.

   Before Major Hank left, Stone Bear handed him an animal skin with a few items listed on it. The horse came first. The things listed on this animal skin are the real things exchanged for this batch of table salt and the next batch of table salt.

   Those tribesmen don’t know the tricky inside. After seeing Master Guardian only use the salt produced in these seven or eight days, they have exchanged so many things. Each of these tribes enjoys the same as the Green Valley Festival.

   Even Li Lei stopped speaking after a long time with his mouth open in shock and speechless.

   What else did you say? Let him Li Lei go to deal with those Vasichchus, killing him Li Lei can't do this.

   But Master Guardian only took a while to save all the things brought by the Vasichus, and the tribe didn't even pay for a piece of fur.

   This is the gap!

Although table salt is more precious, since the Lord Guardian taught the tribes how to make salt, the salt produced in a day in the tribe can be filled with a wooden hut. The salt that was once incomparably precious in the eyes of the tribe has now become a tribe. The least valuable thing in it.

   Why do you keep this thing? It is easy to be damp and agglomerate. People can't eat more. So much salt is made to exchange things. Not only have to trade with those Vasichus, but also with the tribes of the Cherokee tribe and even the royal court.

  The most important thing is that with the salt-making craftsmanship, you will never have to look at the stinky faces of the Pamanki people in the east!

   The people in the tribe happily searched for their favorite things among the large amount of cargo, and Stone Bear chatted with Lieutenant Ferguson in his wooden house.

   In fact, when he heard the name Patrick Ferguson for the first time, the stone bear almost jumped up.

   Without him, if the guy in front of you is indeed called by this name, then in terms of his age, this guy might really be the guy who invented the "Ferguson rifle" for the British army in history.

   Speaking of Patrick Ferguson in history, he is a legendary figure.

   This guy was born in an ordinary family in England, with parents on the top and a younger sister on the bottom. His family is not rich, so as early as when he was fourteen, he became an ordinary soldier in the Royal British Army.

   This guy, who was a child at the time, followed the Royal Army of the British Empire to serve in Flanders across the English Channel after joining the army.

   Flanders was probably located in the western part of Belgium, and extended to the north of France. There are many rich port cities, UU reading www. uukanshu.com such as Bruges and Ghent.

   This country was originally an earldom, and the people there spoke a dialect of "Dutch" called "Flemish". The Flandersberg was brilliant in the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, mainly because the powerful Burgundy Duchy established its court here. Later, because the Duke of Burgundy was too arrogant and was taken out by the big brothers, Flanders gradually began to go downhill.

  Ferguson stayed here for more than a year, and then joined the army to serve in Germany. After staying in Germany for two years, because of his superb marksmanship, the seventeen-year-old Ferguson followed the Royal Navy of the British Empire to serve in the West Indies on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, where they would fight the French.

   Until last year, after the French ended the Second Anglo-French War with defeat, Lieutenant Ferguson was sent to Jamestown.

When talking to Major Hank and Lieutenant Ferguson for the first time, Major Hank had already told Shi Xiong that this year was the second year after the end of the Second Anglo-French War, which was in 1764 AD, which was different from what Shi Xiong himself had guessed before. The year is about the same.

   And it was precisely for this reason that Shi Xiong affirmed that the ensign officer who was only twenty years old and had superb marksmanship was the famous Patrick Ferguson in history.

   In this era, there is no such thing as a "sniper", but the soldiers or officers with superb marksmanship in the army are called "sniper shooters." And Patrick Ferguson is the famous sharpshooter in Jamestown.

In fact, Patrick Ferguson is famous not only because he developed the world's first breech-mounted quick-firing rifle, but also because of his famous "unfired shot" during the period of independent warfare.... ..
