Chapter 77 (1/2)

Of course, the reason why the English colonists took the risk to travel to the gaoshu tribe was not only that the gaoshu tribe was a part of kabulu's sacrifice, but also that it had the best beaver fur for hundreds of miles.

The high tree tribe, including those small tribes separated from the high tree tribe, mostly lived near the big bend, while a large number of beavers lived in the Tennessee River. These beaver skins, which were extremely precious in Europe, became the target of English colonists.

Of course, the gold and various gems of the gaoshu tribe were also what the English colonists wanted most.

Had it not been for the fact that the gaoshu tribe was deep in the Appalachian Mountains, and there were many Cherokee tribes between the tribe and the colonists, they might have targeted the gaoshu tribe with the greed of these English colonists.

Seeing that his guardian's eyes were strange and his face changed again and again, Hongyun finally asked, ”do you not welcome these vasichu?”

Red cloud's words awakened stone bear from his meditation. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, ”it's not that these English people are not welcome, but that all vasichu are not welcome.”

Stone Bear looked at the two Englishmen who were negotiating with Li Lei. They were wearing the most popular red military uniform in England at that time. Stone bear also judged their origins from their military uniforms.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the military uniforms of European countries still had their own characteristics. You can see which country they were. However, after the 18th century, the military uniforms of European countries almost became the same ones carved from one mold - trichat and swallow tail shirt. The only thing that can distinguish the uniforms of different countries is the color.

For example, Austria's military uniform is white, Prussian's military uniform is Prussian blue, Russia's military uniform is green, France's military uniform is sky blue, and the British military uniform is red.

This kind of red uniform worn by the English people is also called ”red shrimp uniform” in later generations. The English soldiers wearing ”red shrimp uniform” are also called ”red shrimp soldiers”

As a matter of fact, until the 21st century, the British royal guards kept the uniform color of the 18th century. Although the hat was replaced by the precious black bear skin hat, we can still see the style of the red shrimp soldiers in England.

The vasichus who came to the gaoshu tribe were all dressed in red tuxedos, black triangle hats, black breeches and high boots. They were the elite of the English army.

They are not elite and dare not go deep into the gaoshu tribe for hundreds of miles.

In fact, for decades, it has been the army of England that has been trading with the high tree tribe.

”Why? These vasichus have been good to our tribe ever since they made a deal with our tribe. It also brought us a lot of things that our tribe didn't have, such as ironware, those beautiful green crystals, grain seeds, wine, cotton cloth and so on, which the tribe urgently needed. ”

”It's a weasel giving new year's greetings to the chicken!”
