Esquat's idea is crazy, the elders and chiefs in power in the clan will definitely not agree to Esquart's actions, and even Esquart's father, the witch doctor of the tribe, does not support his son's idea, and he makes a divination, saying that if Esquart really does this, .

This is actually something that can be done without divination, the strength of the Tang people should not be underestimated, and the White Mountain Apache people have a certain understanding of this. The engineering team sent by the Tang people before had more than 1,000 people, plus the army for protection, there were more than 2,000, plus the Tang people were generally equipped with muskets and other more powerful weapons, although the Baishan tribe also had a small number of muskets, but it was obviously unable to fight against the Tang people.

However, Esquart did not think so, he knew that the Tang people had a strong army, but he insisted that the Tang people would not dare to break away from their railway line and march hundreds of kilometers north to the mountains in search of the Baishan tribe. Moreover, Esquart actually has a more complete strategy.

After his plan was rejected, Esquat said impassionedly in front of most of the young people in the tribe: "...... Our brothers, who have given their lives for the sake of the tribe, have returned to the bosom of our ancestors. But we must not forget that they died at the hands of the Dons, and it was those hateful Dons who took away our brothers, whose hands were stained with the blood of our Apaches. The Tang are the mortal enemies of the Apaches, the embodiment of sin, and the filthy scum that the gods of the fire sun and the water and moon spurned too. For the sake of our tribe, for the sake of our fallen brothers, we should all take revenge on the Don! ”

Sheikat had already vetoed him, but Esquat also had a lot of status in the tribe, and what Esquart said made him frown, but the tribe could not interrupt the members at will, especially since Esquat also represented his witch doctor father to some extent.

Esquart continued: "Our tribe has lived on this land for a long time, and our ancestors created our homeland here. This is the Apaches, our land in the White Mountains, and now the Tang people are coming, and with their muskets and steel, they want to take away our land, and build any railroad on it, and there is no consent from us at all, this is something we cannot promise! ”

Voices of approval began to emerge in the crowd, and emotions became hot.

"If the Tang people want to pass through our land, they must pay us their goods! This is what we deserve, the greedy Tang people occupy too many living materials, but want to monopolize them, and the Apache people do not agree! ”

"Can't say yes!" Some people began to unequivocally echo it.

"As long as we get food and clothes from the Tang people, we don't have to live the life we have now. Our women don't have to go out to collect agaves and cacti so hard, our men don't have to fight fierce wolves to bring back prey, and the supplies provided by the Tang people can make us live happily! This is one of our greatest opportunities for the Apaches, as long as we seize it, the tribe will be free of hunger and cold, and we will be strong! ”

It can be said that Esquart's speech was still extremely inflammatory, and he already enjoyed prestige and convincing among the tribe, and his words naturally aroused some resonance. After all, humans are lazy by nature, and they all want to be unemployed and get food on their own. If they could really get the Tang people to give him food to eat and clothes to wear, as Esquart said, then they would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

But it's not that no one has noticed the biggest logical problem here, and someone said: "Esquat, you are a smart person in the tribe, and what you say must make sense." However, the Tang people were so powerful, with thousands of warriors and thousands of muskets, no tribe could beat them. If we provoke them, our White Mountain will perish! ”

With a natural aura, Esquat waved his hand and said, "You're right, there is no tribe stronger than the Tang people. But we are seven tribes, and we can fight for the Navajos, and the Comanches are also interested in the Don, and as long as we can organize ourselves and fight in our familiar homeland, the Dons will not be able to defeat us. I've got a good way to defeat the Dons, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it! ”

The elder couldn't help but say with some yin and yang weirdness: "You said that if you can definitely succeed, you will definitely succeed?" You kid, don't talk big! ”

At this time, a young man suddenly said: "Esquart has done so many things for our tribe, and everyone has benefited from him, but what have you done for the tribe this old fellow?" You're not qualified to say Esquart! ”

This was obviously agreed by many young Apaches, and soon the wind changed again, and I don't know who shouted again: "Esquat is the hero who can lead the White Mountain, and Xiwu should give up the position of chief to Esquat!" ”

"That's right, make Esquat the chief!"

The noise grew louder and louder, and there was even pushing and shoving among the crowd with dissidents. Standing in the center, Esquart unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Cousie suddenly snatched it out and snatched the feather crown on Xiwu's head, which symbolized the status of the chieftain, although Xiwu was also a powerful warrior when he was young, but now he is old, and he is not as strong as the kid Cousie, and the few guys who support him are surrounded by a group of young people at this time, and no one can help him.

The elder was furious, pointed at Esquart and said, "Bastard, you are plotting to usurp the throne!" ”

Cousie handed the crown to Esquart and shouted, "It was everyone who chose Esquart as our chief, you old things don't work, only Esquart can lead us to a better tomorrow in the White Mountain Apache, you things that are about to rot and be pecked to death by vultures, get out of the way." ”

Esquart laughed and put the crown on his head, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Of course, there are also some dazed guys, and it is always the noisy ones who are heard, and those who don't speak, only obey.

This "coup" was of course premeditated, and Esquat had actually cultivated his own power in the tribe long ago, and he used the power to distribute and loot the goods of the Tang people, and recruited a group of young Apache to serve him, at this moment he encouraged his followers and finally gained the supreme power of the tribe.
