1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 57 [Double Wolves Join]

"traitor?"

"If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been deceived and signed the contract with the white man." The chief of the two wolves gave a general account of what happened.

After listening to the horse whistle, he nodded and thought for a while.

According to Chief Shuangwolves, this bird's nest understands English, which is a bit of a skill.But he didn't want to use this person, partly because he couldn't be trusted.

In his opinion, this guy already belongs to the category of reverse nationalism, and it is almost impossible to persuade him to turn back.

Another reason is that Nest is just a Comanche who knows some English, which can be regarded as a relatively important talent for a Comanche or a white person, but it is insignificant for an Apache.

"This guy actually said that we are backward barbarians!" The Comanche laughed at the traitor, "Haha!"

The horse whistle did not speak.

Because he also felt that the Indians were backward savages, and he knew this more deeply and rationally than anyone else, but he never thought it was a reason for betrayal.

The love for the ethnic group is a natural nature. It is not only impossible to be overthrown by reason, but even strengthened by reason. Only when people lose their reason can they betray this nature and become a reverse discriminator.

It is more similar to people's love for themselves-rational thinking will only make people love themselves better, and losing their rationality will make people kill themselves.

"What do you wish to do with him?" asked the Chief of Two Wolves.

Ma Whistle said casually: "I don't care. You decide for yourself, he is yours after all... at least for now."

……

It is very close to the Shuanglang clan, so after leaving the small town, the group first arrived at the Shuanglang clan and took a rest.

The Comanche used paint to paint patterns symbolizing victory and enthusiasm on their bodies, celebrated the victory with songs and dances, and expressed welcome and thanks to the horse whistle and others.

Everyone sat around the campfire and ate barbecue.

The chief of the two wolves was holding a roasted beef shank, but he didn't eat a few mouthfuls, hesitation flashed across his face from time to time.

After a while, he finally said: "Chief Sleeping Bear, you saved the Shuanglang clan. As a thank you, we promise to accept all the conditions you put forward, but you also know our current situation..."

"You should know what I want." Ma Shuo put down the barbecue in his hands, and immediately stated, "I don't need any property, as long as you join the Sleeping Bear Clan, and work with us to reclaim farmland and build homes."

The chief of the two wolves was not too surprised, but his face was still a bit embarrassed: "If both of our races are Apaches or Comanches, I am certainly willing to do this. But after all, we are not of the same race, and we don't speak the same language."

"This is a problem that must be faced." Horse Whistle said, "I have gathered a thousand aborigines, but this is just the beginning. I will gather more aborigines in the future, not only Apaches and Navajos Or Kiowas, you Comanches too, even Arapahos, Cheyenne I'd take it too."

The chief of the two wolves was startled: "You want to be like Tecumseh?"

"No, it's better than Kumsey." Ma Whistle said firmly, "On the North American continent, there are about 30 to 50 aborigines. I want all of them. We must be united, and we must be united like a fist." , it is possible to compete with the whites."

Chief Twin Wolf was silent for a while.

Tecumseh's original attempt to unite the Indians had a great impact, and many Indians had the idea of ​​uniting with each other, but it failed miserably in the end.

As a result, although people often have similar ideas now, they always feel unreliable.

In the opinion of Chief Shuangwolves, although the Sleeping Bear clan led by Ma Shuo is growing stronger day by day, the result is still unpredictable. Maybe the end will be the same as Tecumseh's.

Ma Shao naturally saw his hesitation, and said again: "If you are not willing to join, then my condition is to withdraw the aid that I promised you before."

"This..." If the impoverished Shuanglang clan had no assistance, they might perish this winter.

Horse Whistle: "With your current conditions, apart from Sleeping Bear, it is almost impossible to find another clan that is willing to take you in before winter, and the Comanche clan is even less likely."

Chief Shuangwolves understood his situation, so he could only agree in the end, nodded and sighed, "Okay, the Shuangwolves clan will be merged into Sleeping Bear... I hope we can adapt to each other."

Then he informed the tribe of the news.

When the Comanches of the Twin Wolf Clan learned about this, they were naturally somewhat reluctant.

But they also know that this is the only way to go. If they don't join the Sleeping Bear Clan, what awaits them is the butcher's knife of the cold winter.

So far, the Mianxiong clan ushered in the first "outsider" clan in the strict sense.

Although there were Kiowas and Navajos joining in before, both of them are close ethnic groups of the Apaches and even use the same language, so they cannot be regarded as real outsiders.

The Comanches have no close relationship with the Apaches, and most of the time they are not even friends, and there will inevitably be greater conflicts between them.

Although Ma Shao knew that this was a necessary step in the development process, he still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, worried that something would go wrong during the integration process.

Of course, there should be nothing to worry about this winter.

The Shuanglang clan will definitely die if they leave the Mianxiong clan. As long as the Mianxiong clan doesn't go too far, they will definitely endure as long as they can.

Apache must be taught to the Comanche as soon as possible.

Ma Shuo brought the Shuanglang clan back to Sleeping Bear, which unsurprisingly aroused some discussion.

In order to avoid conflict, he arranged the Comanche camp in a relatively separate area, slightly separated from other tribes.

People have also accepted this arrangement, and it seems to be relatively harmonious.

But an important reason for this harmony is the foil—the foil of white people.

In addition to the Comanches, there were also a group of white people in the team returning from the horse post. Not to mention twenty or so little kids, there were three adults in the Browning family of four.

The four members of the Browning family, the gunsmith, sparked as much discussion in the Sleeping Bear clan as they did in the entire Twin Wolf clan.

"So many Indians!" Browning's wife and eldest daughter looked at the surrounding Mianxiong people in horror.

Browning couldn't help losing his temper again, and complained, "You've really entered a den of thieves!"

Ma Shao led them to a tent: "You guys should live here first."

"We don't live in tents," Browning said.

Ma Shao nodded: "I know, but the clan doesn't have a house yet, so I can only wrong you."

"temporary?"
