Sumuri led the cavalry platoon all the way to the Yokuz tribe that was allegedly threatening the Toyobara farm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe size of this tribe is not large, only about 200 people in total, and the lack of food in winter and spring has caused some people to die, so the situation of this tribe is not good.

Sumuri himself can speak a little of the Yokuz language, and the Indian language is rarely particularly complex, and it is mostly more intuitive and has few abstract words. A dust dragon rushed to the door of the Yokuz tribe, and the Yokuz people were so shocked that they took up arms and prepared for defense.

As soon as Sumuri rode on, Lema said, "What about your chief? ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with intricate decorations came out of the tribe, he stood there and looked up at Su Muli on his horse, and then said, "Are you the guy who betrayed your own tribe and took refuge in the foreign Tang tribe in the south?" ”

Su Muri's eyes narrowed, and he said, "I, Su Muri, have never betrayed Chu Mashi, and neither have my brothers behind me. A tribe is a tribe, a country is a country, a tribe is small, a country is big, we are now serving the country, and the tribe is a part of the country. ”

Chief Yokuz shouted: "I haven't heard of any Chumash tribe who have taken refuge in the Tang people, and what kind of country you are talking about, I don't understand!" ”

Su Muli now feels that he is very different, he knows things that most Indians do not understand, he has his own honor and pride, so he said: "Datang signed a treaty with your tribe and obtained your southern land, we established a farm there, Datang welcomes you to trade, but if you think Datang is easy to bully and want to rob us of food and wealth, then you are looking for your own death." ”

He spoke very politely, and many people in the Yokuz tribe were in an uproar to give Sumuri some color. Here the Yokuz people shouted, and the Indian cavalry on the horses also shouted, as if whoever had the loudest voice would take advantage, which made the two hunters very uncomfortable.

Chief Jokuz held down his people, watched the cavalry pull their horses from their crotches, and suddenly said, "We may not attack that village in the south, but we must get enough food. These horses of yours can provide us with meat, and if you give us your horses, we can not harass them. ”

Su Muri's eyes suddenly widened, "Bastard! Did you hit us with the idea? ”

At this time, the Yokuz slowly surrounded the cavalry with their weapons, and the horses seemed to sense the danger and became a little restless.

The chief said, "We have more than a hundred men, all of whom can wield weapons, and there are only twenty or thirty of you, do you think you can defeat us?" Hand over your horses now, and we'll let you live. ”

Su Muri snorted and sneered, "It seems that the destruction of the Tongwa people has not taught some stupid fellows enough lessons." ”

He reached out and drew a pistol from his waist, slamming it into the chief. This pistol was his arsenal as a cavalry captain and the only firearm issued to the Indians. The chieftain was shot and immediately fell, and the sound of the guns became a signal for the Indian cavalry to attack. They have fought with hunters and other troops many times, and they are used to hearing this kind of noise, and even when the guns are fired, they will instinctively get excited.

Some of the cavalrymen drew their bows and arrows and shot at the Yokuz, while others raised their steel swords and slashed at them. Sumuri was very intelligent, and he was eager to learn, and he had already learned some tips for commanding cavalry from Tarahchi.

"All, rush north, you can't be trapped by these Yokuz!" The advantage of the cavalry was mobility, the Yokuz had no horses, and they could not catch up with these cavalry, so Sumuri took the lead and drove a guy away, followed by his cavalry who rushed out of the encirclement of the Yokuz.

However, Sumuri did not run away, and when he ran to a hillside, Sumuri turned his horse's head and turned back with the cavalry platoon, and the impact of the horse's galloping made the Yokuz's scalp tingle, and their chieftain was killed by Sumuri as soon as he came up, and the resistance became very weak. Sumuri cut down three or four enemies in quick succession with his saber, and the attack of the cavalry on the horse against the infantry could be considered a massacre. The Yokuz had no experience in dealing with cavalry, and within twenty minutes, the entire tribe was hacked to death if they dared to resist.

Sumuri was also happy about a hearty victory, but he was also slightly apprehensive, after all, he had not received the order to destroy the Yokuz tribe.

"There's no way around it now, okay, burn down this village and take all the prisoners away!" Sumuri greeted and ordered his Indian cavalry to begin the finishing touches.

Upon his return to Los Angeles, more than a hundred prisoners of war surprised the Cabinet and the Department of Defense. Liu Fangwu specifically found Su Muli and asked, "Who made you do superfluous things and take away other people's tribes?" ”

Sumuri could only argue: "They want to snatch our horses." ”

Liu Fangwu said again: "Then if you don't go to other people's territory, how can they take a fancy to your horse?" ”

"Because these Yokuz people are harassing Fengyuan Farm, I am going to give them a warning."

Liu Fangwu was speechless: "Your warning is really beautiful, you directly destroyed other people's villages, and captured more than 100 prisoners." ”

Sumuri stopped talking. He had been in the army for a long time, and naturally understood the discipline and obedience requirements of the army.

Liu Fangwu pondered for a moment and said, "You won the war, although you lifted the threat of Fengyuan Farm, but it was a private matter without the authorization of your superiors. We've just signed an agreement with this tribe to wipe them out, and it's a big blow to our credibility. So, this time, you don't have to think about credit, you write a review, give it to me, and in addition, after the military salary starts to be paid, you will have to deduct a month's salary. ”

After all, Su Muli had just learned Chinese, and he didn't understand everything Liu Fangwu Balabala said, and asked, "What is the review, general, I can't write...... Also, what is the salary......"

Liu Fangwu was also a little dizzy, completely forgetting that this young man who had cut his hair and looked no different from ordinary modern people in the Republic of China was an Indian guy.

"You can find a way to go yourself, and hand it over to me by tomorrow night!" After that, Liu Fangwu walked away, and he still had to explain to the cabinet about the capture of more than 100 Yokuz.

Su Muli had no choice but to go to the women's dormitory of the military hospital and shouted from the bottom of the building: "Nurse Dong! ”

There seemed to be a female voice playing upstairs: "Oh, Juanhua, that little barbarian is coming to you again, and you still say that you two don't have a leg." ”

It didn't take long for Dong Juanhua to run down with the blush on her face, and blamed: "You guy, don't keep running downstairs to find me, it's not good." ”

Su Muli didn't know if he understood what Dong Juanhua meant, he was a straight man, and said directly: "General Liu asked me to write a review, I can't write, and I don't know what a review is." ”

"Review, what mistake did you make?"

Su Muri said disapprerovingly: "Without the consent of the superiors, a tribe of the Yokuz people was exterminated." But those idiots want to steal our horses. ”

"In this way, the review is to express that I have realized my mistakes, I am very sorry and remorseful, and I will correct things in the future, if it really doesn't work, you say, I'll write it for you."

"Oh, is it something like this, it's so troublesome, but thank you, Nurse Dong."

Su Muli muttered: "It's really too troublesome to not be able to write, Nurse Dong, you must teach me to read when you have time." ”

Dong Juanhua smiled, "I didn't expect you to be quite motivated, the locals speak your Chinese language well, and now you have to learn to write." Many peasants, soldiers, and so on don't know how to read. ”

Su Muri said solemnly: "There are literacy classes in the army, but for the time being, it seems that it is only open to Chinese Americans, not to our aborigines. ”

Indians don't accept being called Indians because they have nothing to do with them. They themselves also do not have a uniform name, as each tribe has its own name. So now their official title is aborigines, and some modern scholars believe that the Indians are related to the descendants of the Shang Dynasty who crossed the ocean, and want to call them Yin descendants, but they are not adopted.

"Accidentally" exterminating a Yokuz tribe is not a big deal for the authorities. While there were always some POWs who might be wreaking havoc in Los Angeles, if the POWs resisted, they were assigned to the heavily labored mines, where the Indian overseers didn't feel like they were fellow fighters, and their braids snapped. However, too inhumane things are not allowed in Los Angeles, so there are always Indian overseers who sing white faces, and other Chinese overseers who sing red faces. Either personally apply medicine to the prisoners of war, or secretly give them something to eat. In short, in the case of grace and power, it can generally restrain those prisoners of war.

As for the female Indians, they were relatively easy to manage, and they were soon trained to become a group of female workers in Los Angeles.

At a time when the standard of living in Los Angeles was much higher than that of the majority of Native American tribes, the number of Native workers in Los Angeles was increasing by 100 per week, and the Cabinet did not even know how these people came to be. At a very rapid pace, these Indians became junior masons, builders, carpenters, miners, and so on, and although the amount of labor increased, food was guaranteed, and their living conditions, medical care, and so on, were also improved.

When the Western colonists treated the Indians, they regarded them more as tools and even resource grabbers, but here in the Tang Dynasty, where the wisdom of the people is more mature, through various combined strategies, the Indians are basically allowed to work for themselves willingly.
