Chapter 182: The transformation of killing the three wolves, the reward is gold nuggets

Liu Sheng was not surprised that the members of the fishing and hunting group wanted to resolve the conflict with the natives directly through war.

Speaking of which, the fishing and hunting group is also a unit of the Wei tribe, with a level between civilian warriors and standing troops, including multiple hunting teams, fishing teams, and expedition teams.

But apart from daily hunting, fishing, exploring and accumulating some hard work, they had almost no chance to make military exploits.

Nowadays, it is normal to see conflicts between the Kuei tribe and the natives, and they want to resolve them through war, so as to highlight the role of the fishing and hunting group and gain military exploits.

In addition, there are more men than women in North America, which may also become a major factor in promoting foreign expeditions.

However, Liu Sheng felt that using too harsh methods to resolve conflicts with the natives would not be conducive to the long-term rule of the Yi tribe in North America.

He prefers to use soft knives to deal with the native tribes that hinder the development of Weibei.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng said: "Let's fight with them first."

After deciding on this matter, Liu Sheng sent someone to notify the Zal Department, and on the other hand, he selected the men to participate in the duel from the guards who stayed at Huachu Camp and Liujiazhai.

After Li Dingguo learned about this, he showed great interest, so Liu Sheng asked him to be a single duel player.

Liu Sheng tried Li Dingguo's skills.

In a martial arts competition, Li Dingguo is not as good as him; but if it is a life and death duel using only cold weapons, I am afraid that he is not as good as Li Dingguo.

Therefore, Liu Sheng was very relieved to leave the single duel to Li Dingguo.

As for the multi-person duel, Liu Sheng had no worries - with the absolute suppression of equipment, it was impossible for the natives to win.

Liu Sheng even thought of a trick to make the natives admit defeat directly...
Upper Luobu.

Sha Sanlang is doing something that most male clan members think is very embarrassing, that is, planting.

Previously, in any known tribe, planting was done by women and children.

Adult men and even young men go hunting or fishing.

Therefore, when an adult man grows crops, it is like imitating a woman and taking her work. Of course, he will be laughed at.

The reason why Sha Sanlang did this was because he went to Kuaibu many times to trade and saw most of the men in Kuaibu planting.

And last year, when the leaves turned yellow and the fruits ripened, Weibu obtained a lot of food through planting.

This made Sha Sanlang realize that Weibu's planting technology was as superb as their cloth and container making technology.

If there weren't too many people in the Wei tribe, perhaps the entire tribe could be fed by planting and fishing alone, without the need to risk hunting.

However, the Shangluo tribe was still hunting.

Although the hunters from the Wei tribe did not enter the hunting grounds of the Shangluo tribe due to the agreement he had made with the chief of the Shangluo tribe, their aggressive hunting still meant that the prey that the Shangluo tribe could catch became less and less.

In addition, because the Yibu fished too much upstream, they could catch fewer fish in the Luobu than before.
Although it is not impossible to feed the tribe, the food available to everyone is indeed not as abundant as before.

Some reckless warriors in the tribe clamored to drive the Wei tribe away, but Sha Sanlang relied on his former authority to veto this.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows clearly that they can't drive away the Wei tribe, and even if they call other tribes from the Heluo Alliance, they probably won't be able to drive them away.

It may even trigger a war and plunge the Heluo Alliance into a crisis of destruction.

Sha Sanlang has experienced external tribal alliance wars and knows how cruel the war is - on the losing side, all adult men are killed, and only young women and children can survive.

He didn't want Shangluobu to fall into danger of destruction because of his stupidity.

Therefore, he got inspiration from the planting in Weibe - men in Weibe can get a lot of food through planting, why don't Shangluo do the same?

So, when the grass sprouted this year, he organized dozens of men in the tribe who were too thin, disabled, or too old to fish and hunt to plant with the women. In the past, these sick and weak men were in the tribe. production tools.

However, among the tool makers, only a handful of highly skilled people were able to distribute large amounts of good food, while most people could only obtain food similar to that of women.

Sha Sanlang used the prospect of distributing more food after harvest as an incentive to get these thin men to agree to plant.

As a result, because of the ridicule of the tribesmen who specialized in hunting and fishing, these thin men only worked for a few days and were no longer willing to do it!
As a last resort, Sha Sanlang could only take the lead in going to the fields and follow his three wives to learn planting and give demonstrations.

Only then did dozens of thin men in the tribe go to the fields again to plant.

But now those tribesmen even laughed at him.

Le Shi, the strongest hunter in the tribe, even publicly laughed at him, saying that he had lost his manly bravery and would not be worthy of being the chief of the Shangluo tribe if he continued like this.

Sha Sanlang is too lazy to compete with Le Shi, a guy who is all about muscles - as long as it is not a head-on fight, he has at least five ways to kill Le Shi!
"Hush!—"

A clear and rapid wooden whistle suddenly sounded, which startled Sha Sanlang. He woke up from his distracted state while working, and quickly shouted orders to the people around him——

"Women, children, old and weak, please go back to the tribe!"

"Soldiers, please go back to your house quickly to get your weapons!"

While shouting, Sha Sanlang was already running towards the tribe first.

The reason why he was so anxious was because the rapid whistle meant that a large group of enemies were approaching the tribe!
As a warrior, weapons are usually carried with you.

But the place where he planted was right next to the tribe, so neither he nor the dozens of warriors who watched his planting were carrying weapons.

When Sha Sanlang took weapons and led Le Shi and other tribe warriors out, they were shocked to find a large group of people standing less than a hundred steps away from the tribe's wall.

These people all wore the same clothes and hats, and they were clearly soldiers from the Kuei tribe!

The leader was Liu Sheng, the chief of the Wei tribe whom he had not seen for a long time!
"Sha San Lang, long time no see!" Liu Sheng greeted with a smile.

This time he didn't need to show his hands, there was someone translating for him - Hebian Camp was responsible for keeping up with Luobu's transactions, and had already trained more than a dozen translators who understood the native language in this area.

Sha Sanlang saw Liu Sheng's smile and breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought: Judging from Liu Sheng's kind appearance, he must not be here to attack us, right?Otherwise, with more than 100 soldiers behind him, he might be able to invade our Shangluo department.Then he forced a smile and said, "Long time no see, Liu Sheng."

Liu Sheng was slightly surprised to hear Sha Sanlang speaking in broken Chinese, but he understood.

If Sha Sanlang had been personally responsible for the transactions with Weibu, it would have been normal for him to learn some simple Chinese for the past half year.

This makes communication between each other more convenient.

Then, Liu Sheng had someone give him some gifts - a few pieces of cloth, a dozen pieces of pottery, and dozens of kilograms of dried salted fish.

These gifts are nothing to Liu Sheng. Considering his status as a commander outside, these gifts can be said to be very shabby.

But the people who killed the Three Langs and other people in Shangluo Department saw their eyes gleaming and started talking buzzingly.

"So much cloth!"

“So many containers!”

"And this dried fish is actually salty!"

There was a Shangluo soldier who took a bite of salted fish, his face full of surprise.

The Shangluo tribe also uses salt, but these are salt brine cubes obtained from tribes downstream. They are very unpalatable but extremely precious.

It is rarely used for barbecues and cooking. Even tribal warriors still maintain the habit of drinking the blood of animals after hunting to supplement salt.

If they caught extra fish, they usually made smoked fish, so it was the first time to eat salted fish.

Although the salted fish tasted very salty to them, it brought a very happy feeling.

Sha Sanlang looked at these gifts and then at Liu Sheng - if he knew the word "flattered", he would definitely use it now.

He first subconsciously thought about what Liu Sheng should give as a gift in return for giving him so many things. This is the rule among tribes.

Then I thought that something might be wrong with Liu Sheng suddenly coming to give him a gift.

Liu Sheng is indeed in trouble.

The Weibei and the Altay Alliance have reached an agreement, and a duel will take place two days later on the riverside between the Hexi Camp and the Zhalebei.

Liu Sheng felt that without a referee or witness, this matter would not be reliable enough.

So after people communicated with the Altay Alliance, they came to ask the chief of Shangluo tribe, Sha Sanlang, to be a witness.

Because this matter was relatively complicated, even with a translator, it still took a while and a lot of gestures to make Sha Sanlang understand.

Knowing that Liu Sheng did not come to attack Shangluo tribe, but asked him for help, Sha Sanlang finally breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.

Moreover, he insisted on giving some gifts to Liu Sheng in return - in addition to more than a dozen animal skins, there were also a few gold nuggets!

When Liu Sheng asked, he learned that it was coming from the upstream Altay Alliance.

This made Liu Sheng even more convinced that there was a gold mine in Sacramento in later generations.

Finally, Liu Sheng asked Sha Sanlang some questions about the "duel".

Only then did we know that the tribes in this area did have a tradition of resolving disputes through "duel".But over the years, the tradition has become less effective.

Many times, some tribal alliances start with a "duel", and then a war breaks out.

Liu Sheng was not surprised when he learned about this.

The natives are of course more simple-minded, but if it comes to a life-or-death situation, they probably won't be stubborn enough to keep their promises.

···
Two days later.

Shasanlang only took Leshi and other ten tribal warriors with him, took the Weibei river boat, went upriver, and came to the "duel" location agreed between the Weibei and the Altay Alliance.

God had cooperated, and it was a cloudy day, not a rainy day.

When Liu Sheng and other people from the Wei tribe arrived by boat, the people from the Altay Alliance had already arrived and stood in a large group on the river bank. There were probably hundreds of them, and they were all native warriors.

It's a pity that he is covered in various animal skins and painted in various colors, which makes him look messy and unintimidating.

Liu Sheng stood on the bow of a C-shaped river boat, smiled and said to Li Dingguo next to him: "What do you think of these Altay native soldiers?"

Li Dingguo said: "It is far inferior to some chieftain soldiers in Sichuan and Huguang. A hundred standing troops can defeat them. If it is a cavalry guard, fifty cavalry can defeat it on the plain."

"Hahaha···"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng let out a hearty laugh without making any further comments.

Why doesn't he know that natives are easy to beat?
So, he wasn't keen on doing this easy thing without the need.

These indigenous tribes in North America and the various resources of the California Valley are there, and there may not be any changes in decades. There is no need to be too anxious if the tribe wants to conquer this place.

It's different in Ming Dynasty.

It is now the 14th year of Chongzhen, and there are only two years left before Chongzhen hangs himself from the Southeast Branch in history.

The existence and rise of the Wei tribe may shorten this time.

He couldn't watch Li Zicheng occupy the north and break into the Forbidden City, and then watch the Qing army enter the pass, right?
Therefore, in the past few years, we must focus our energy and development on Daming...

There was a jolt when the ship docked, which made Liu Sheng come back to his senses. Then he smiled at the entourage on his left and right: "Let's go, today we must let the Altay Alliance know the gap between them and my troops."

After that, he went ashore first.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
