Super Chief
Chapter 386: Mr. Bird
To be honest, Shi Xiong did not expect that an idea he had inadvertently turned into reality.
One thousand second-hand muskets that are about to be completely eliminated can be exchanged for five hundred war horses. This is definitely a big surprise.
Of course, it will take some time before this transaction is fully realized. After all, it takes time for Colonel Jones to collect the horses, and Stone Bear also needs to rely on these muskets to safely bring a group of high-level Powatan royal courts to the Cherokee royal court.
Now that the agreement has been verbally concluded, neither Colonel Jones nor Stone Bear will care about this two-month period, so according to Stone Bear’s request, a group of high-level members of the Powatan court hiding in Jamestown, Colonel Jones led a group of soldiers like tigers and wolves to **** them directly, and then completed the handover with the expeditionary force of the Stone Bear in a dense forest outside Jamestown.
For Colonel Jones, the stone bear is definitely a worthy investment, and the top of the Powatan tribe is nothing.
The Poitans, who were able to beat the first British colonists, and the Poitans, who fought two wars with Britain, have completely lost the bravery of their ancestors. They are now just a group of parasites in Poitan. The parasites on the tribe, they no longer have any investment value for Colonel Jones.
On the one hand, there is the promised blue ridge as the boundary and the transaction of the 1,000 Ferguson rifles, on the other side is a group of worms, which is more serious, and Colonel Jones naturally distinguishes clearly.
So, the poor senior Powatan clan was sold directly by Colonel Jones in such a daze.
Well, they didn’t even have the qualifications to be sold. In order to please Shixiong, Colonel Jones directly gave away these senior Poitans...
Naturally, Shi Xiong would not take these poor guys. Their courage had already disappeared, and Shi Xiong didn't bother to use some methods on these people.
But among these people, Shi Xiong found a very interesting person.
This is a man in his thirties, sloppy and sloppy, and he doesn't look like a person of identity.
But such a guy, how can he get into the royal family of Poitan?
The curious Shi Xiong took the man out alone, and he was interrogated, only to get a piece of news that made Shi Xiong happy.
This sloppy man is not a Poitan, to be precise, he is a member of a small tribe in the Poitan Alliance. This guy has a rather peculiar name—Little Bird.
Ghost knows how he got his name, but according to him, this is the name his father gave him, and his father is also called by this name.
The surprise that this guy brought to Shixiong is not something else, but has a lot to do with his name.
This little bird turned out to be a master bird trainer! Especially the ability to train pigeons that he learned from his father is what makes Shi Xiong most interested and happiest.
There are two things that Shixiong has the most headache now. One is the problem of war horses, and the other is the problem of communication.
Warhorse Fortunately, after all, the British colonists are now raising a lot of horses in the 13th colony. It is very easy to select qualified warhorses among them. As long as the opportunity is right, getting a large number of war horses is not so difficult.
Just like a deal with Colonel Jones, one thousand retired second-hand rifles can be exchanged for five hundred war horses. When I go back and get some money-making stuff to trade with Colonel Jones, the problem of the warhorse will not be a problem.
As for communication, in this era when communication is basically based on roaring, it is almost whimsical to get a mobile phone or radio.
Even if Shixiong knows a little about radio, he also knows that with that little thing he knows, he still can't make even the most primitive radio. Of course, if you find a group of European scientists who understand the principles of electromagnetics, they may be able to do it under Shixiong's general guidance, but Shixiong doesn't want to do things that are not guaranteed.
It would be nice to be able to communicate on a battlefield if only the horse-riding signallers were to transmit information, but if the information was transmitted a little farther away, it would be a waste.
Therefore, Shixiong has always wanted to find a way of communication that can transmit information quickly.
Of course he thought about homing pigeons, but he has never found anyone who can train homing pigeons.
Now, the little bird suddenly jumped out, how can this not make Shixiong overjoy?
Xiaoniao is alone now, and his relatives have long since died in a plague that broke out a few years ago. This guy has a big life. When the plague broke out in the tribe he was in, he was in a field and escaped by luck.
After he returned to his hometown and found that all his family members were dead, he left the sad place. Later, by chance, he was appreciated by Chief Aruyet, so he served as the person in charge of training pigeons in the court of Poitan.
The reason why Shixiong led the expeditionary army to the east of the Poitans never found the Poitan’s royal court. In the end, a group of senior officials in the Poitan court escaped into Jamestown to seek refuge early. The most important figure among them is this Mr. Bird.
Because the bird has long left pigeons conveying information among the various tribes of Poitan, although the carrier pigeon communication network he established among the Poitan tribe is not complete, it can be used to convey the news of the expedition army is enough.
After interrogation, Shixiong learned that Xiaoniao’s ability to train homing pigeons was learned from his dead father ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and his father followed a few years ago in Philadelphia with a few British people. Human.
Xiaoniao didn’t know how his father got the favor of those British people and learned to train pigeons, but according to him, when his father worked with those British people, he learned a lot. Knowledge of training pigeons...
I don’t want to know too much about how the bird family learns to train pigeons. All he needs to know is that the bird trains homing pigeons, and now that he is willing to work for the Cherokee is enough.
It’s actually very simple to make the bird work for the Cherokee. A few packs of cigarettes, a bag of high liquor and some delicious food are enough to make this guy who is training the pigeon skills lower his head.
As for how to train homing pigeons and how to build a communication network for homing pigeons, let the little bird take responsibility. Ask people for people, ask for things for things.
As for pigeons as homing pigeons, North American passenger pigeons must not be used. Although in this era, the number of passenger pigeons in North America is still in the billions, and they are not extinct like later generations, but this plump bird tastes good for eating, if it is used as a carrier pigeon, it won’t work. .
However, pigeon breeds suitable for homing pigeons like rock pigeons and European pigeons have been introduced to the New World of North America with the pace of colonists. Now there are many rock pigeons and European pigeons in the thirteenth colonies. That's it.
As long as the bird can establish the carrier pigeon communication network that Shi Xiong needs, Shi Xiong does not mind giving him a bright future!
