1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 127 [Three people make a crowd]

The slave owners eventually gave up their slaves.

He wanted to join Sleeping Bear, naturally because he knew all kinds of deeds in Sleeping Bear City, especially the deeds of defeating the plague, which made him have a strong yearning for this place.

Before that, no Indian tribe could defeat the plague.

Now, as long as they live in Sleeping Bear City, they can resist the most terrible natural disasters in the world. Compared with this benefit, a few slaves are of course nothing, and they are more or less compensated.

He sold the slaves to the Arapaho, who then gave the slaves to Sleeping Bear in exchange for a reduced sentence for his family.

This can be regarded as a relatively balanced result. People who are willing to exchange slaves for their families to reduce their sentences certainly have some wealth. By allowing these people to bear part of the compensation, the tribe’s direct expenditures have been saved a lot, and the slave owners also get it. low compensation.

After completing the basic procedures before entering the city, under the leadership of several soldiers, the new immigrants entered Sleeping Bear City and came to their future residence.

"White man's house?" Some Comanches looked at the building in front of them in surprise.

Standing in front of their eyes is a small building with a brick and stone structure and two floors.

"This is a masonry house," said the soldier. "The Ministry of Construction is promoting this kind of construction. There will be fewer and fewer tents and wooden houses in the future."

Someone asked: "There are two families living here?"

Soldier: "That's right, there are two floors, one for each family."

"This...isn't very good, as far as I know, no clan seems to do this."

"No clan can resist the plague."

"This is also the arrangement of the great chief." The soldier said again, "The chief said that our houses will become taller and stronger in the future, and everyone must adapt to living in buildings."

People talked for a while, saying everything: "I heard that the chief horse whistle is like a giant, and he can spit out lightning from his mouth. Is this true?"

"You will soon be able to see the Great Chief with your own eyes, and the Great Chief will talk to you. Every new immigrant can talk to the Great Chief for at least 1 minute." The soldier said.

Horse Whistle has always done this, he will talk to each newcomer for at least 1 minute.

Everyone in Sleeping Bear City has talked to him face to face, and they all know his voice, appearance and demeanor clearly.

In fact, he felt the habit could be followed through.

After all, the total number of Indians in the United States is about 40 to 1, and each one minute is only a few thousand hours.

It is not a heavy burden to spread it over ten years, two hours a day.

At least for today's horse post, this is really nothing.

The near-perfect physical fitness has endowed him with a lot of energy far beyond ordinary people. In addition, he also has an increasing ability to concentrate, can maintain concentration for a long time, and rarely loses his mind at work... This may also be because there is no mobile phone and web.

His ability to act has been so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Anyway, he can be sure that if he met such a person in his previous life, he would probably have the heart to kneel down.

For the current horse whistle, 996 is almost a health preservation.

A mere two hours of conversation is nothing short of indulgence.

Of course, although there is no difficulty, there are many troubles.

Most of the new immigrants have not received any decent education, and there are many foreigners, so there will naturally be barriers in communication.

Not only in language communication, but also in various affairs, this gap has also brought many obstacles.

With the influx of new immigrants, Horse Whistle and Rainy Day had to discuss this issue.

"...I think we might be able to assimilate them before they come to Sleeping Bear City," Rainy said.

"How?" Horse sentry asked.

Rainy day: "Take the initiative to send our shamans out and let them bring gifts and knowledge to various ethnic groups to preach."

"In this way, when we absorb other tribes, some of them have already accepted many of our ideas in advance, and it is naturally much easier to assimilate."

Horse Whistle nodded quickly: "That's right, it should be done this way, but our number of shamans is not enough..."

Shamanism in the old days was both a political identity and a profession that could be used to earn a living.

But the shaman of the Spiritual Sect has almost no professional attributes, but only a political identity, or a political appearance.

Most of the people who have the status of spiritual shaman are practitioners in education, medical care, management, military officers, etc., and they are still quite rare and important.

You can export some to the outside world, but you must not export too much, or you will be too busy with the work of your tribe.

Rainy day said: "Sooner or later we will absorb the aborigines of the entire North America, and it doesn't matter if we send more."

But the horse sentry shook his head: "The shaman can't continue to learn after being sent out. Our shaman is very good, but still needs to learn a lot, and they can only continue to learn if they stay in the tribe."

Rainy day thought for a moment: "Maybe we could take a rotation?"

"Well, but after all, we can't send too many." Ma Shao thought, "Well, let's equip each shaman with two soldiers, and the two soldiers will serve as the shaman's students, assistants and guards. The teaching group', the teaching group undertakes the task of 'pre-assimilation' for all ethnic groups."

Rainy day nodded: "How many teaching teams like this do you plan to send?"

"How about fifteen?" Ma Whistle thought for a while.

"Too few." Rainy day said, "How about thirty? Thirty shamans, counted as accompanying soldiers, are only ninety."

"Alright," said the horse whistle, "mainly send to the Navajos, Kiowas, and Apaches from other tribes... Take your time, our prestige is not high enough, and various tribes may not be willing to accept us to send teaching group."

Then he thought of something again: "The setting of this 'religious group' is worth promoting. In the future, as long as there are more than three followers of the Spiritual Sect, they should form a group to help each other, learn from each other, and spread the teachings."

Rainy day: "Is it inappropriate for believers to establish themselves?"

Horse sentry: "Believers can set up their own, but they can only be temporary organizations. Formal religious groups need to be approved, and we have the right to change or revoke any religious groups."

"We must fully master the teachings of the oracle, and at the very least, we must be like the Pope of the Catholic Church."

Rainy day nodded: "I will add the content about the teaching group to the "Lingyu"."

The two talked for a while, until a soldier brought the latest newspaper.

In this era of backward communication means, newspapers are almost the only way for them to obtain a large amount of information from the outside world, especially information about white people.

The two flipped through the newspaper, hoping to find some valuable information.

Soon one of the pieces of news caught the attention of the horse whistle: "California...Republic."
