Chapter 248 (2/2)

Sure enough, stone bear didn't disappoint them. He soon gave his reason.

”Here I would like to thank uncle grey moose for his objection, which shows that uncle grey moose is really thinking about our tribe. However, in view of what uncle grey moose said just now, I'd like to talk about my ideas

”Let me first talk about the importance of the river tribe. You all know why we used to trade with Xiaohe tribe? ”

Everyone nodded.

”Yes, it's not because my wife is there that I trade with Xiaohe tribe, but because Xiaohe tribe owns a saltpeter mine. And you should know the importance of nitramite? ”

The crowd nodded again.

”If we lose this saltpeter mine, our guns and artillery will become a pile of scrap iron, and we will not have the raw materials to make such powerful grenades. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, we can't let go of that saltpeter mine. This is one of the most important reasons why I proposed to take over Xiaohe tribe. We need to control that saltpeter mine in our own hands! ”

No one can refute this point.

”Secondly, the women and children who came back from Xiaohe tribe with me this time, you can also see the attitude of the tribe people towards them. These women are women who lost their husbands and family members in that war. They are very poor. They are very difficult to continue to live in Xiaohe tribe without men and family members. After they came to our tribe, you should also see the attitude of those people in the tribe towards them. Our people, especially those strong men, are very welcome to these women. Don't forget, we only accept Daqingshan tribe now. After other tribes are accepted one after another, these men need women. Don't you think about that? And the women who survived in the Xiaohe tribe can just meet their needs. ”

As soon as the words came out, the crowd was silent again.

When Shi Xiong came back from the Xiaohe tribe, he was accompanied by more than 50 women from the Xiaohe tribe, including more than 20 women with children, and more than 30 other women whose families all died.

They can't survive in the Xiaohe tribe, and they have heard of the richness of the gaoshu tribe, so they follow the stone bear without saying a word. Whatever the stone bear says, they will follow the gaoshu tribe.

The desire to survive. Hope is not a mere 200 Li mountain road can stop.

Stone bear had no choice but to take them to gaoshu tribe, so his return journey was extended to five days.

As a result, unexpectedly, after these women came to Xiaohe tribe, they were immediately welcomed by the men in the tribe.

There was no monogamy in North American Indians at that time. As long as you could afford it, it was not a problem that a man had several women or a woman had several men.

Now the men of gaoshu tribe have plenty of money, and the grain in the field is about to be harvested. It's not a problem for them to support another woman.

The most important thing is that these women are all chekasa women, which is enough to arouse the conquering desire of many Cherokee men!

Not to mention the fragrance of wild flowers?
