Chapter 805 "Cooperation" to make money

Dai Zhiyuan, a dark-hearted guy, spoke three vicious strategies, and it was very realistic. ⊙, it is early autumn now, and it is definitely too late to farm this season, but it is not delayed in reclaiming wasteland and waiting for the spring next year to plant wheat. The food problem is the top priority, how can you continue to colonize the game if you don’t have food? So, the first task is to grab food and capture prisoners, and the second task is to catch prisoners for camp construction and reclaim wasteland. Finally, it is to make slave transactions bigger through exchanges and solve the labor and population problems needed by the base.

How to get along with the Navajo natives, Dai Zhiyuan emphasized: "This tribe is closest to us and has a relatively large scale. How to gain their trust cannot simply rely on their awe of God. Otherwise, when they find out that we are human, they will have more troubles. Therefore, we have to go through several steps. We can gain mutual trust through transactions; send people to the tribe to help them build more comfortable wooden houses; send medical teams to the tribe to help them solve the problem of winter while volunteering for medical treatment. As long as one winter comes, this tribe cannot live without us."

Otherwise, what the scholars are cruel! Dai Zhiyuan said is darker than the other. The ultimate goal is to enslave these natives, and they are really bad and cannot be broken. According to his plan, before winter comes, enough land must be reclaimed to ensure that sowing wheat next spring can meet its own needs. At present, North American crops are mainly pumpkin, corn, and potatoes. Especially potatoes, which are small in size, low in yield, and taste very good.

Li Heng, who had never spoken, said at the last moment: "I think everyone has overlooked one problem, that is, salt. We have to quickly get out the salt farm. We don't bring a lot of salt." Salt is inconspicuous, but in the Ming Dynasty or America, it is a must-have for life.

Luda also added: "There is also to build the kiln as soon as possible, burn bricks and pottery, and burn some earth and cement. You can't live in a wooden house all the time, right?"

Li Heng said again: "One person's plan is short. It's better to call all the heads and minds of each department and discuss the next development plan." A small meeting turned into an enlarged meeting. The final meeting minutes were compiled, based on the main and secondary. There were more than 30 things that must be completed before winter.

Survival is the first priority at any time.

For about a hundred extremely ordinary machetes, they exchanged more than 200 slaves, which was a very cost-effective transaction. Both parties felt that they had made a big profit, so that the business could continue. Not to mention how to resettle these slaves, Luda took a company of soldiers and set off with two mountain cannons on horseback.

The Indians never had a unified country. Thanks to the rich resources and vast territory of the American continent, their survival pressure was not great, and they also grew inertia, which caused a tragedy of relatively backward development of civilization. On the other hand, wasn’t Western countries turning to the sea because of the high survival pressure and no development on land, which led to the progress of natural science?

With the help of more than a hundred magic weapons, the Navajo people were willing to do some unsupported business. The American Indians were never a group, and the war between them never stopped. When they came to the valley where the Navajo people lived, Zhao Geng, who went out to investigate, also came back and saw Lu Da take out a hand-painted map. One place that was less than fifty kilometers away was nearby, which was the tribe that came to rob the Navajo people last time.

"This is the location of their tribe. According to the Bucks, this tribe is quite powerful than the Navajo tribe. The key is that they have many cavalry, and the specific number is unclear. The Navajo people also have cavalry. I went into the valley to investigate and found less than 300 people. Another point is that wars broke out many times between the two tribes, and many of the Navajo territories were occupied. If it weren't for the terrain of this valley, the Navajo people would have been unable to occupy a foothold and migrated long ago."

Lu Da didn't expect that Zhao Geng could find so much information, nodded with satisfaction, and showed a thoughtful expression. This battle is not easy to fight, and the first thing to do is to pay attention to is the existence of cavalry. It is difficult to deal with a large number of cavalry by relying solely on infantry and two mountain cannons.

"Is there a suitable battlefield nearby for this tribe called Cheyenne?" Zhao Geng immediately pointed to a point on the map and said, "There is a small river here, and war horses cannot cross it directly. If a wire mesh is pulled on one side of the river, infantry can calmly shoot the cavalry."

"It's here, go and call the Bucks, let's prepare." Luda was very decisive and joined forces with the Navajos to fight the Cheyenne. Before the war, a careful plan was needed to obtain the greatest benefit with the minimum loss.

The Bucks were very quick to do things and soon brought the elders. The communication process was a bit painful. However, in general, even drawing pictures and gestures, these natives still understood the general meaning of the combat plan. However, whether it can be implemented well depends on God. Luda did not expect to implement it without any mistakes. He hid and smiled when he could achieve half of the plan.

Just as Luda was planning to attack the Chayan tribe, the Chayan tribe was also discussing how to deal with the Navajo people. The last sneak attack was actually a small accident. The Cheyan people in a nearby village discovered that the main force of the Navajo people had left. In an accident, four or five hundred people could enter the valley and make a good profit. Unexpectedly, the main force of the Navajo people came back, and was surrounded by the counter-attack and annihilated. In the end, there were only a dozen people who were recovered.

The Indians on the North American continent continued to fight each other, and the two tribes were considered a bloody hatred. This hatred must be avenged, and they must be taken as soon as possible. The Cheyenne mobilized the original mobilization, gathered about 2,000 cavalrymen, and under the command of the tribe leader, they were ready to go to the door.

Just when the Cheyenne tribe gathered its troops, Luda and a Marine Company had already arrived at the scheduled battlefield. After walking all day, they arrived at a place less than ten kilometers away from the Cheyenne nest. At the same time, the bucks took all the cavalry in the tribe to swim near the Cheyenne nest. Because of the flat terrain of this generation, the bucks, which were easily discovered by their opponents, did not gain much attention. They swam for three consecutive days, and only destroyed more than a dozen enemies and caught eight hunting.

This action was soon discovered by the Cheyenne and grasped their location. One morning, the stag climbing a tree saw a group of cavalrymen in the distance, and immediately jumped off the tree and called his brothers to go on the horse and ran away. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 500 meters, and the Cheyenne refused to let these guys go and immediately chased them. The two were chasing each other on the grassland. The Cheyennene, who was absolutely superior, chased them very quickly, and did not notice that after these enemies crossed a river, a group of soldiers were lined up to prepare for battle after a certain raised slope.

The river is not wide, and it can only be reached in one minute if it is wading. After two-thirds of the Cheyenne cavalry crossed the river, the hidden land battle company behind the earth slope was lined up. The bucks who completed the task of luring the enemy came proudly to find Luda to seek credit. After getting a military cap, they were so happy that they had white teeth. The bucks with hats immediately took the cavalry upstream, crossed the river from another place, and walked around the enemy side, preparing to pursue after the battle here. They tried to eliminate as many enemy cavalry as possible, and then the main force of the tribe encircled and suppressed the old enemy, the Cheyenne.

The plan went smoothly. When the Cheyenne people continued to pursue after crossing the river, two 75 mountain cannons fired. In the fierce artillery fire, the Cheyenne people were in chaos, and at the same time they also found the land warfare company lined up. The brave Cheyenne people had dealt with the Europeans, but did not collapse immediately in the face of artillery fire like the Navajo people, but turned their horses to rush towards the earth slope.

At only five hundred meters, the cavalry arrived in a flash. The people of Cheyenne were still looking forward to killing these accomplices who were not sure where they came from with an axe. When they cut off their scalp, the guns thuded.

At this time, there was no possibility of stopping at all, so I could only continue to rush forward. The Cheyenne cavalry, who had never known what the barbed wire was, hit the barbed wire, and the people were overturned and the horse was in chaos.

The Marines, fifty meters away, opened fire calmly, shooting like raindrops, overturning the indigenous cavalry one by one. Two 75 mountain cannons were also firing continuously, until the barrel was red and the sweat beads dripped on it immediately turned into water vapor.

This is a battle that the Cheyenne cannot understand. They know nothing about who the opponent is and where it comes from. When more than half of the two thousand cavalry casualties, the Cheyenne found something wrong and started to turn around and run away. Only then did they find that the originally shallow river water had risen a lot of water levels. The way that easily wades through has turned into a difficult trek.

The Marines left the earth slope, stepped on the rhythm of the officer's whistle, and lined up to start to press forward in a strict manner. The battlefield was full of dead bodies and horses with lost their masters. The guns kept ringing, constantly knocking down the indigenous people who were trying to wade through the water. The unknown river was stained with blood.

What was even more desperate was that there were not many Navajo cavalry behind the side. Although there were not many, it was enough to completely destroy the defeated Cheyenne people. The entire battle was from the beginning to the end, but in just two hours. There were not many Cheyenne people caught on the battlefield, only more than 300 people, and each of them was injured.

The cavalry who escaped the river ultimately failed to escape the pursuit of the Bucks and his partners. The machete equipped with a wooden handle became a nightmare for the Cheyenne. If you chased after it, you would chop it down with one knife. The sharp machete easily cut off the Cheyenne's simple weapons. (To be continued.)
