Chapter 396: The Situation Is Not Going Bad
The military movements in Manhattan attracted the attention of the British colony of Pennsylvania and the two local governors of Virginia.
And because the Song Empire sent troops, the soldiers pointed directly at them, which made the British colonies suddenly have an atmosphere of panic.
"For what, why do you want to do this to us."
"Bastard, do they think we're bullies?"
"Hurry up and run, the people of the Song Empire are not easy to deal with."
For a time, panic spread in the British colonies, and people fled the two colonies.
At the same time, even the Indians living in the vicinity of the two colonies began to choose sides.
The Mohican leader of the Song Empire, the Black Bear, had sent people to these small tribes to inform them of everything, so that they could begin to choose sides.
Black Bear's words are very clear, following the Song Empire or the British.
These Indians are not stupid, they also know who is the most powerful in the land.
Therefore, all of them expressed their willingness to marry into the Song Empire and integrate into the Mohicans and become Mohicans.
Everyone can see what life is like for the Indian tribes who joined the Moses tribe in the early days.
It can be said that their lives now must have undergone earth-shaking changes from the past, and they are completely different.
Now that there is such an opportunity, it is impossible for these small tribes not to seize it.
After all, who wouldn't want to live a better life.
The Indian group of the Song Empire could serve as soldiers and officials in the empire.
It is only slightly less than the Chinese people, and it can be said that it is better than many people.
If you don't like to be an official, you like to be free and easy.
Then, you only need to register with the Ministry of War and become a reserve.
In peacetime, when there is no war, a reward of a few pieces of dragon ocean is received every month. You can do whatever you want.
Hunting, setting up a stall, or being a bodyguard for other people's families.
The degree of freedom is high.
At the same time, the price of goods in Manhattan in the Song Empire was much cheaper than that sold in the periphery, but you had to have the status of a citizen to enjoy such a discount.
You must know that there is such an opportunity in front of them now, it is simply a very eye-catching thing.
Many Europeans who worked in Manhattan wanted to become citizens of the Reich, but they couldn't.
Now among the Indians of the empire, such a benefit has been temporarily opened.
After this village, there will be no such Dian'er.
So. The Indian tribes around the two British colonies seized the opportunity to join the Mohican tribe of the Song Empire, becoming Mohicans and citizens of the Song Empire.
Originally, the governor of the British colony also wanted to gather these tribes to resist the Song Empire's troops together. But they could not have imagined that before they gathered these tribes, these tribes had already fled to the side of the Song Empire.
It can be said that now these two British colonies have become loners.
Moreover. They are still far from home, and the crisis is clearly very bad for them.
Through Comic Don's office, the British protested to Zhang Tie.
But Zhang Tie simply ignored it.
At the same time, Zhang Tie took out the investigation of the intelligence department. It was placed in front of the staff of the British office.
It was clearly written in the newspaper and it was plain and clear.
The British gave the pirates a lot of good, allowing them to unite and gather more companions to attack Manhattan.
At the same time, there are confessions. and drawing, and even a witness.
In the face of all this, the British were speechless.
"Go back and wait. Our Song Empire is not easy to bully. ”
Under Zhang Tie's anger, the office staff left Zhang Tie's office in a gloomy manner.
The news soon spread back to the British colonies and was placed on the desk of the Governor's Palace.
Looking at this news, the governors of the two places could only smile bitterly.
They scolded the local old men in their hearts for eating people's food and not doing people's things.
Knowing that the Song Empire was not easy to provoke, he still wanted to do this kind of thing behind his back.
They were far away on the other side of the Atlantic, but they didn't think about it, their two colonies were very close to the Song Empire.
Moreover, the mainland also forcibly occupied the buffer zone and set up a Pennsylvania colony, which made the Song Empire think?
Idiot!
It's a bunch of idiots.
Greed also depends on timing, but also on the environment.
This is not Europe, here in the Americas, the strength of the Song Empire is unquestionable.
Challenging such an opponent is no different from looking for death.
Although I cursed in my heart, I still had to do what I had to do.
The two British colonies immediately issued an emergency mobilization order to find all the colonists to take up arms and prepare to defend their homeland against the invaders.
At the same time, he also sent people into Manhattan to spread incitement to the British who worked there, hoping that they could cause trouble in Manhattan and make some trouble for the Song Empire.
It's just that the orders of the two colonies, among these British laborers in Manhattan, were not responded to at all.
These people are very comfortable in Manhattan, and they don't know what they are looking for trouble for.
It's just like you can't get along with your own good life.
Besides, what's in it for them to be in chaos here in Manhattan?
It's not good at all.
So, only an idiot would respond to this bullshit call of the Governor of the British colonies.
Not only did no one pay attention to it, but some people reported and arrested these instigators.
Europeans in this era had almost no concept of the state.
For them, whoever pays them to do things is the one they are loyal to.
Whoever feeds them, who enables them to live a better life, they will serve whomever they want.
This is the dominant thinking of Europeans in this era.
This idea seems outrageous to today's modern people, but it is very popular and true in this era.
The British colonies had no advantage over Manhattan.
Officials here are corrupt and often oppress the people, making their lives miserable.
Even the people in the colonies left to find a life in Manhattan. They will not forget to loot from these people.
These laborers had to pay high taxes from time to time, and these people who collected taxes came from two colonies.
Weird, right.
People in the British colonies looked for work in Manhattan.
The tax collectors of the colonies were simply here in Manhattan and asked the British people who came to work in Manhattan to pay taxes.
At the same time, these taxes are scary.
In this regard, these British people from the British colonies were very unhappy.
These tax collectors spend their time in Manhattan with the tax money in hand. It made the British people even more hateful.
So, how can these people now answer this call to protect those who extract their wealth?
The Indians would not help, and the people who had left did not answer the call.
The army of the Song Empire has not yet arrived, and the current situation is already very desperate.
But, in fact, there is more to it than that.
There are still many troubles in the British colonies.
Although there were still many people left in these two colonies, they did not go to Manhattan to find a living.
But who are these people?
Some idle gangsters. There are also gangsters who can't enter Manhattan or are even driven out of Manhattan.
These guys also knew the power of the Manhattan Song Empire, so it was impossible for them to respond to the call to resist and contribute to the colony.
It's not just not about not helping. They also took advantage of this opportunity to loot property in the colony, and then fled the colony one after another.
The merchant ships that were originally docked at the docks of the two colonies got the news. They also left the port one after another.
It can be said that in the two colonies of Pennsylvania and Virginia, people who have a way to leave the colonies have found a way to leave.
Even if there is no way to leave. He also tried his best to hide and not respond to the call of the governors to join the army.
For such a situation, the governors of the two places really have no way at all except to scold.
Who let them always oppress the people, and constantly raise the amount of taxes paid by the people to bully them.
So, at such a critical moment, it is normal for everyone to abandon them.
At the same time, the armies of the two colonies were also unstable.
Those soldiers were very reluctant to fight against the army of the Song Empire.
Especially Virginia's army, because they fought Zhao Hongyu last year and suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, they knew the power of the Song Empire.
At that time, Zhao Hongyu's was only a few hundred people, so he hit the head of the mouse, and after the last mistake, he came to Virginia City and made a big fuss.
Now, the army of the Song Empire is dozens of times that of last year, how can this be fought.
This is not a war, it is simply to send to death.
Therefore, war weariness was high within Virginia, and they did not want to fight the Song Empire at all.
In such a situation, the governor had nothing to do but use military orders and military law to suppress the troops.
As a result of the bullet pressure, the soldiers held a grudge against the commanders in their hearts.
Before the war officially began, Virginia began to be unstable, which was a very unfavorable situation.
Unlike Virginia, Pennsylvania was only recently founded, and its soldiers were all from the British mainland.
They have not personally experienced the power of the Song Empire.
So, one by one, they were eager to try.
And a small number of these soldiers learned the tactics of the Song Empire, as well as the art of shooting muskets.
Therefore, they were not afraid of the army of the Song Empire.
It's just that Pennsylvania is not having a good time, because the ordinary people in this colony are all gone.
Only officials and the military remained. (To be continued.) )
