Chapter 406 Call Me Boss!

phone-reading

Looking at Chief Geronimo with a sincere and expectant face, Chen Mo nodded lightly.

"Since you have the heart to be attached, then I will accept you. From now on, you will be my subordinates and serve me, and your tribe will also be sheltered by me!"

"Thank you boss!"

"Call me boss."

...

After accidentally saving and subduing the Lakota tribe, Chen Mo's fur acquisition and beast training program changed.

As the natives of the Missouri jungle, the Lakota tribe has lived in the forest for generations, and they are very familiar with the entire vast jungle. They are very clear about the location of each Indian tribe.

Therefore, Chen Mo simply handed over the work of acquiring fur to them.

The total population of the Lakota tribe is more than 300. Although the most elite warriors are only more than 50, the remaining teenagers, middle-aged and even elderly people have a good fighting ability. Even women can dare to fight. Fighting beasts with spears, and hunting down prey with bows and arrows is not much worse than that of ordinary warriors.

Therefore, after learning about the situation of the Lakota tribe, Chen Mo divided 50 elite warriors and 50 teenagers into 10 teams and went to trade fur with the Indian tribe.

They are more familiar with the conditions and roads in the forest than the armed acquisition team of the American Fur Company, and they can travel much faster in the forest. Coupled with the strong physical strength, strength and endurance developed by hunting for many years, they can carry more Supplies and furs.

Moreover, since the location of the Lakota tribe is already located in the Missouri jungle, although it is not in the center, it is also deep in the jungle, and the distance to other tribes is much closer than the acquisition team of the American Fur Company. The time of the trip has been shortened many times, so the acquisition efficiency of these ten teams composed of native Indians is almost comparable to that of the entire American Fur Company's acquisition team of thousands of people, and can basically eat the entire Missouri fur trade.

It's just that once these people are dispatched, the defense of the Lakota tribe will become extremely empty. Except for this hundred people, most of the rest of the tribe are women, children and middle-aged and elderly people.

Although these people also have a certain combat effectiveness, if they really encounter the attack of the large troops of the American Fur Company, they are definitely not their opponents.

But this is not a problem for Chen Mo, Chen Mo has enough muskets to equip the Lakota tribe.

Before that, they had killed more than a dozen armed personnel of the American Fur Company, which amounted to more than 100 people. In addition to seizing a large amount of trading materials and furs, they also collected more than 100 muskets.

However, these muskets are relatively old and backward flintlock guns. The shooting speed is very slow. The whole shooting process takes more than 30 seconds. The armed personnel of the American Fur Company, which had more than 30 people before, also completed the reloading outside the tribe. Enter the tribe only after preparations are made.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not intend to equip the Lakota tribe with these backward rifles.

In Chen Mo's space, there are actually hundreds of the most advanced Springfield M1842 front-loading muskets.

The M1842 rifle is the first front-loading musket equipped by the U.S. military. Before that, the U.S. military used the same flintlock guns as the American Fur Company armed personnel.

The bullets used in the M1842 musket are paper shell bullets, using 8.0g of black powder, the mass of the round bullet is 31.3g, and every 10 bullets are packed in a paper bag.

When loading, first bite the bottom end of the bullet with the mouth, pour the gunpowder at the bottom of the bullet into the barrel from the muzzle, then load the bullet wrapped in the cardboard shell from the muzzle, and use the push rod to compress it against the gunpowder. above.

After that, place the firing cap on the bottom fire socket, and then set the gun to the ready-to-fire state, and you can aim and fire.

After practice, this operation takes only 15 to 20 seconds.

Don't look at the fact that the firing time is shortened by more than ten seconds. If you face the armed personnel of the American Fur Company equipped with flintlock guns,

These ten seconds are enough to give them an absolute advantage and cause heavy losses to those armed personnel!

Chen Mo didn't care about the gazes of the Indians, and took out these rifles directly from the space and distributed them to the Lakota tribesmen, not only the fifty soldiers, but also the fifty teenagers who followed them out for acquisitions, as well as those who stayed behind. The women and middle-aged and elderly people all received a powerful rifle.

In short, except for children who are too young to use a musket, even children of James' age and people in their 60s and 70s have received a musket.

Don't underestimate these children and the elderly. As an Indian tribe living in the depths of the forest and hunting for a living, the children of the tribe began to learn and exercise various hunting skills and the use of bows and arrows from an early age. Not too difficult.

The old people are more experienced fighters. Although they are older and their physical strength and strength are not as good as the young people, they have much more shooting skills and experience than them. , and quickly mastered the skills to maintain a fairly high level of accuracy.

With these old men, women and children guarding the tribe with the most advanced percussive muskets, even if the American Fur Company sent another fifty or even a hundred troops, the only outcome would be the destruction of the entire army!

The American Fur Company, which has been bullying Indian natives and foreign fur traders with primitive and backward weapons, has always relied on the advantage of firearms and number of people. It has never thought of spending huge sums of money on updating weapons and equipment. , The Indian tribes, who can't even buy the most backward arquebus, will suddenly have a large number of new rifles that are more advanced and more powerful than their hands.

Having lost its greatest advantage and reliance, the American Fur Company can no longer oppress and bully the Lakota tribe as recklessly and arbitrarily as before. As long as they dare to come again, they will be greeted with a blow!

Chief Geronimo was shocked by Chen Mo's method of conjuring piles of powerful muskets out of thin air, and he knelt down on the spot with other tribesmen who were also stunned by this amazing scene.

"This is the power of God!"

"The gods have appeared!"

...

Chen Mo originally did not intend to subdue the Indian tribes to work for him.

Because there is time, Chen Mo is not in a hurry at all. He originally planned to teach the two children while letting them practice in actual combat, and buy furs in the middle, just to experience life.
