Kapitel 76: Chapter 76: Becoming a Great Chief
Upon hearing this, Yutian couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
The air was quiet for a while.
Then he continued to mark the papers as if nothing had happened, lowering his head: "How did you know?"
Ma Shao: "I don't believe in prophecies. In my opinion, it's either a coincidence, or a coincidence that is taken advantage of by others, or it's simply a scam. And I know that you don't really believe in this kind of thing either."
"The Arapaho predicted that the tent keeper would be killed by a poisonous snake. In this case, catching a poisonous snake and poisoning him is indeed a good idea. If it were me, I would probably choose this method as well."
No talking on rainy days.
Ma Shao looked at him: "It's just that I don't quite understand why you do this. Why?"
Rainy Day did not answer directly, but asked in return: "If it were you, why would you kill him?"
Ma Shao thought for a moment and said, "To fight back, and... the people. It seems a bit hypocritical to say this."
The rainy day raised his head and smiled: "You seem to always underestimate yourself."
"You are too self-deprecating?"
"That's right. In my opinion, you are the only one who is qualified to say such things. If everything you do cannot be called 'for the people', then this sentence itself has no need to exist at all. We should delete it from Apache Language." Rainy Day's tone was even a little excited.
After a pause and calming himself, he added: "I believe you will lead us to the path of hope, which is why I chose you... The Great Chief is a man I respect, but he is blocking this path."
"I'll do the same to anyone who stands in my way!"
Ma Shao was silent for a moment: "What if we are the ones blocking the road?"
Rainy Day was startled, then he stammered, "This... this is impossible."
"It's entirely possible. At least I don't trust myself." Ma Shao said slowly, "Look at what I've done. Which one didn't have fame and fortune to gain?"
"If one day I were faced with a situation that was purely self-defeating and benefiting others, and didn't even have a good reputation, I don't know what I would choose."
It doesn't matter if you earn less money, but at least you should have a good reputation. To put it in a more noble way, it is called "social recognition." This is Ma Shao's life creed.
For example, the body donation agreement he signed in his previous life was the product of this creed - he was dead and his body was useless anyway, so why not reuse it and at least earn a good reputation.
Ma Shao also got what he wished for. He donated his body, something that was of no use to him, and people added some words of praise to his epitaph.
Not only did he donate his body, but he also chose to be a teacher in his previous life for the same reason.
After recognizing his own talents, Ma Shao felt that going to a small place to be a good teacher was the best solution for his life. The operational difficulty, social recognition, and personal life were all within his acceptable range.
Now he is not only a teacher, but also has to plan and manage all aspects of the affairs of thousands of tribesmen, and lead the army into battle... His work is far more complicated and dangerous than in his previous life, but it is rewarding in the end, and there is no job that is without fame or profit.
"You won't!" After hearing Ma Shao's words, Xia Yutian's tone became excited again.
"Maybe I will, but you definitely won't! And if I myself stand in the way of the people, I will make the same choice and be shattered to pieces!"
He repeated: "You are too self-deprecating. You shouldn't be like this!"
Ma Shao scratched his head, somewhat confused by Yutian's excited tone.
After a while.
"By the way, what about the Comanches?" I suddenly thought of this on a rainy day.
"What Comanche?"
Rainy Day explained, "A Comanche messenger came here and told the tent keeper that the Sleeping Bear clan had violently annexed a Comanche clan. The tent keeper was planning to kill you for this reason."
"You are talking about the Twin Wolf Clan." Ma Shao suddenly realized and recounted what happened last year.
"So that's how it is." Rainy Day nodded.
Ma Shao stroked his chin and said, "It seems that the Twin Wolf Clan survived the winter and wanted to take this opportunity to break away from us. We must investigate thoroughly when we return."
…
Soon, the tribe held a ceremony, and Ma Shao successfully inherited the position of chief and became the leader of the entire Apache Plains tribe.
The tribe has about two to three thousand people, and all together they are only twice as many as the Sleeping Bear Clan, but the significance of becoming a great chief is more than that.
The Great Chief has no superior, which means that Ma Shao will no longer have to consider the leader's thoughts.
The Big Chief can grant Eagle Feathers at will, which means that if he wants, he can issue himself as many Eagle Feathers as he wants and become the Apache version of Brezhnev.
More importantly, the chief can command the clans below to a certain extent, and can also contact other tribes to form an Apache coalition.
What Ma Shao had to do, of course, was to integrate the plains tribes in the name of the great chief and gather these two or three thousand people together.
Before that, he first needed to summon some prestigious people in the tribe and inform them of the plan.
The people summoned included Lu Shou, who was almost forced to come. After entering the tent, the expression on his face was as if he had died.
There were eleven people sitting in the chief's tent.
"Perhaps you know the current situation of the Mianxiong Clan." Ma Shao looked at the other ten people, "I built a city in the former territory of the Mianxiong Clan, gathering 1,500 people, most of whom are from various clans in the tribe."
"What is a city?" someone asked puzzled.
Ma Shao has become accustomed to this situation. As the creator of Apache characters, he often uses some unfamiliar, foreign or even original words, which arouses people's doubts.
He had to do this in order to gradually expand his people's vocabulary and improve the Apache language system.
"Do you know Santa Fe in Mexico?" Ma Shao asked.
"I know." Everyone nodded.
Ma Shao: "Santa Fe is a city. A city is an area where people gather in large numbers and live in a stable manner... Cities can make our lives better."
After explaining some basic concepts, he continued: "Technically speaking, the Sleeping Bear Clan is not a city yet. I haven't even named it that yet. But I have decided to do so."
"From now on, the Sleeping Bear Clan will no longer exist. There will only be a 'Sleeping Bear City', and this Sleeping Bear City will be the core territory of the Plains Tribe."
"A real city should have at least tens of thousands of people, so I plan to gather all the clans of the entire tribe to Sleeping Bear City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deer Hand said, "You mean to say that we all have to move away from our hometown and join your Sleeping Bear Clan?"
Ma Shao corrected him: "It's not about joining the Mianxiong clan, but living in sleeping bear City."
"Isn't this the same idea?"
