1840Indian rebirth

"traitor?"

"If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have been deceived into signing that contract with the white people." Chief Two Wolf briefly told what happened.

Ma Shao nodded after hearing this and thought for a while.

According to Chief Shuanglang, this bird's nest understands English and is somewhat capable. However, he does not want to hire this person. One of the reasons is that he cannot trust such a person.

In his view, such a guy who actively and even fanatically converted to white people has lost the emotional background of his mother's family, and this lack is irreparable.

Another reason is that Bird's Nest is just a Comanche who knows some English. It can be regarded as a relatively important talent to the Comanches or white people, but it is insignificant to the Apaches.

"This guy actually calls us backward savages!" the Comanches laughed at the traitors.

The horse whistle said nothing.

Because he also felt that the Indians were backward savages, and he understood this more deeply than anyone else, but he never considered this a reason for betrayal.

A person's love for the motherland and nation should be acquiescence and need no explanation, just like the love for oneself - who would lose love for themselves because they are not handsome enough or smart enough?

"What are you going to do with him?" Ma Shao asked.

Chief Shuanglang said: "If he wants to be a white man, let him be one. He now believes in the white man's gods, speaks the white man's language, and lives a white man's life... and his family members are all dead, so he can only

That’s it.”

The horse whistle thought for a moment, and then said to an Apache garrison: "Pay more attention to this guy."

Although he had no intention of appointing this person, he still felt that he should be monitored a little.

This place is very close to the Twin Wolf Clan, so after leaving the town, the group arrived at the Twin Wolf Clan first and took a short rest.

The Comanches celebrated their victory with songs and dances, and also expressed their welcome and gratitude to Ma Shao and others.

Everyone sat around the campfire and ate barbecue.

The two wolf chiefs were holding a beef shank that was roasted and fragrant, but he didn't take a few bites. A look of hesitation flashed across his face from time to time.

After a while, he finally said: "Chief Mianxiong, you rescued the Two Wolf 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 Shao put down the barbecue in his hands and then made it clear, "I don't need any property, as long as you join the Mianxiong Clan, cultivate farmland and build homes with us."

Chief Two Wolf was not too surprised, but he still had a bit of embarrassment on his face: "If our two tribes were Apaches or Comanches, of course I would be willing to do it. 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." Mashao said, "I have gathered a thousand indigenous people, but this is just the beginning. I will gather more indigenous people in the future, not only the Apaches, but also the Navajo people

Or the Kiowas, you Comanches too, even the Arapahos, the Cheyennes I want."

The two wolf chiefs were startled: "Do you want to be like Tecumseh?"

"No, Bitcum Sai goes one step further." Ma Shao said firmly, "On the North American continent, there are about 300,000 to 500,000 indigenous people. I want all of these people. We must unite, and we must be like a fist.

Only by being united can we possibly compete with the white people."

The two wolf chiefs were 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. Unfortunately, it failed miserably.

So much so that although people often have similar ideas nowadays, they always find them unreliable.

From the perspective of Chief Two Wolf, although the Mian Xiong clan under the leadership of Ma Shao is getting stronger day by day, the outcome is still unpredictable. It may end up like Tecumseh's, and end up in vain.

Ma Shao naturally saw his hesitation and said again: "If you are unwilling to join, then my condition is to withdraw the assistance I promised you before."

"This..." If the impoverished Shuanglang clan does not receive any help, they may die this winter.

Horse Whistle: "Based on your current conditions, except for the Sleeping Bear, it is almost impossible to find another clan willing to take you in before winter, and the Comanche clan is even less likely."

Chief Two Wolf understood his situation and could only agree after all. He nodded and sighed: "Okay, let's merge the Two Wolf clan into Sleeping Bear. I hope we can adapt to each other."

Then he informed the tribesmen of the news.

When the Comanches of the Two Wolf Clan learned about this, they were naturally a little reluctant.

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

At this point, the Mianxiong Clan ushered in its first "outsider" clan in the strict sense.

Although there were Kiowa and Navajo people who joined before, these two peoples are closely related to the Apaches and even speak 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, so 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 but feel a little uneasy, worried that something might go wrong during the integration process.

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

If the Shuanglang clan leaves the Mianxiong clan, they will definitely die. As long as the Mianxiong clan doesn't go too far, they will definitely tolerate it.

The Comanches must learn the Apache language as quickly as possible.

Mashao brought the Shuanglang clan back to Mianxiong, which unsurprisingly aroused some discussion.

In order to avoid conflicts, he arranged the Comanche camp in a relatively independent area, slightly separated from other tribesmen.

People have 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 was also a group of white people in the team returning from the whistle. Not to mention about twenty little kids, there were three adults in the Browning family of four.

The gunsmith Browning's family of four caused as much discussion among the Sleeping Bear clan as it did the entire Two Wolf clan.

"So many Indians!" Mrs. Browning looked at the Sleeping Bear tribesmen around her in horror.

Browning couldn't help but lost his temper again and complained: "We are really in a den of thieves!"

The horse whistle led them to a tent: "Just stay here for now."

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

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

"temporary?"
