"Your Highness, the losses of both the Iroquois and the French are now very large, and according to intelligence, neither of them can support it for long. I think it's time for us to make a move? If you want me to say, now is a good time, we need to seize it. ”

Wang Shan reminded Zhao Hongyu.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while: "The French are very easy to deal with, with Sarah, the rightful master, we only need to get married and walk around here in Manhattan, and then I will be able to lead troops into Quebec." Then he added, "Now I'm more worried about what to do with the Iroquois. They are the ones that worry me the most, after all, they are not the same as the French. ”

When he said about the Iroquois, Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed tightly.

Hearing that His Highness said what he was worried about, Wang Shan smiled and said, "Your Highness, your worries are not unreasonable. But don't worry too much, those Iroquois don't really have anything difficult to deal with. ”

Zhao Hongyu tilted his head sideways, raised his head slightly and looked at Wang Shan who was standing beside him: "Oh, did you receive any news here, I see that you are so calm, it must be." Hurry up and tell me, Wang Hu has sent some information over there. ”

As soon as he heard Wang Shan say that, he immediately turned around and knew what news Wang Shan had gotten. Otherwise, he would definitely not be so calm and not worried about this matter at all.

Sure enough, when Zhao Hongyu asked like this, Wang Shan smiled and said, "Your Highness, you guessed right." There is indeed good news coming back from Wang Shan's side, and this news is also related to the Iroquois, and it can even be said that Your Highness, you can not take the concerns of your heart in the future. ”

At this moment, Zhao Hongyu suddenly came to his senses, and he was now the most troubled by the problems of the Iroquois.

Because he feared that if one was not handled well, the Iroquois would become a big problem for him.

Come to think of it, it depends on Zhao Hongyu's current military strength. It is unrealistic to annihilate the Iroquois entirely. If this caused any trouble between the Iroquois and the Song Empire, it would bring great trouble to the Empire.

Zhao Hongyu is the most clear about the tactical characteristics of the Indians, sneak attacks, ambushes, and harassing your team and personnel from time to time, no one can stand this.

If such a situation really occurs, what kind of development will there be?

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is the last thing he wants, and if it can be resolved peacefully, then Zhao Hongyu absolutely does not want to resort to force.

The problem can only be solved by force as a last resort. to be able to use the means.

Of course, at that time in winter, Zhao Hongyu's plan of 'fishing in troubled waters' was not on the list, because the environment at that time was different from the current one, so Parma and their small team could use a little force.

And Parma, they are still pretending to be French.

Therefore, all the evil things they did were counted on the heads of the French, and they had nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu.

But not anymore. Because once Zhao Hongyu and they send troops, can the Iroquois still be counted as the French? Obviously, the Iroquois would hate even the Song Empire.

However, now Wang Shan said that Song Hu had come to the news. It is said that there is a solution to this matter.

This made Zhao Hongyu feel energetic, because he had been having a headache about this problem.

"Tell me, what is the solution? I hope that this kid Song Hu is not a liar, he can really solve this problem that has been bothering me all along. ”。 Wang Shan asked again and again.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll tell you slowly, there's no need to rush me. ”。 Wang Shan saw that Zhao Hongyu was a little anxious, but he responded with a smile unhurriedly. But when he saw Zhao Hongyu glaring at him, he quickly put away the look of the hippie smile and became serious.

"Here's the thing, Wang Hu came with the news that the Iroquois United tribe was constantly attacked by the French, and the people in their rear suffered heavy casualties, so many people fled to Lake Ontario for protection, and Song Hu has received a lot of Indians in two months, and these Indians and tribes have it."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said with some doubts: "Aren't they already back in Parma, and the people of those villages that have been collected by the Iroquois for what kind of thing will be attacked?" ”

Wang Shan rolled his eyes: "Your Highness, haven't you been tricked by that trick of fishing in troubled waters?" Don't forget, the French were killed by the Gurkhas, and a lot of people died, and they were all counted on the heads of the Iroquois, so the Iroquois were retaliated by the French for carrying the black cauldron. ”

Wang Shan reminded Zhao Hongyu and said the reason for this.

"Oh, it's all because of me, and I feel a little sorry for the Iroquois. It's really embarrassing to let them carry such a big black pot. ”

Although Zhao Hongyu said so, Wang Shan couldn't see any sorry on his face.

Hmph, Your Highness is getting darker and darker now, but this is also a character that a king needs.

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's reaction, Wang Shan didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

After all, in Wang Shan's opinion, the dead Iroquois or the French, they were all foreigners. As long as it's not the Huaxia people who die, then it doesn't matter.

Wang Shan, the sole exalted of the Great Huaxia Emperor and Han Theory, how could he care about the life and death of other races.

"How many Iroquois people has Song Hu gathered there, why did he want to collect those guys, what good is it for us." , Zhao Hongyu asked.

Wang Shan hurriedly replied: "There are 50,000 people now, and now the population on the other side of Lake Ontario is almost equal to the population here in Manhattan, and the population of the Iroquois in the past plus the original Gurkha people, the population on the other side of Lake Ontario has exceeded 80,000." ”

Well, this population is growing a lot, and it's still very fast.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, and said secretly in his heart.

"Song Hu still supports it, do you need to send someone over to help him. After all, his authority is not very high, and the amount of funds is only one billion yuan a month, so it is not enough for him. ”

Zhao Hongyu was a little worried.

"It's okay, Song Hu's side can completely deal with it. In addition to adding 1,000 Huaxia gene people every month, he also has spare money to add some infrastructure, and I heard that he is now engaged in small thermal power. Because he has abundant coal resources there. ”

Damn, this Song Hu is going against the sky, and he can even engage in small thermal power.

"I remember that we don't have this kind of commodity, how can he even get a small thermal power." , Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan a little strangely.

Wang Shan smiled and said: "Entrusting Chen Zhenbang to get it, the equipment is three times higher than the market price and cannot be purchased casually, and at the same time, Chen Zhenbang must be given a benefit fee, which is basically the same as the engine and propeller installed at the bottom of our battleship." ”

Wang Shan mentioned Chen Zhenbang, and Zhao Hongyu was relieved at once.

But no, with this guy, you can really get something out of time.

However, there is also a very bad point in this. That is, it is not as good as the products developed and invested in research by yourself, and there is a limit to the quantity, and you can only buy one type a month.

It seems that investing in research by yourself is the king.

Zhao Hongyu sighed and said to Wang Shan.

"Your Highness, now you don't have to worry about this topic at all. The Gene Man has seven other township chiefs to take care of the increase, and they can also expand your territory and hand over money for you. All you have to do is invest when you have the money in your hand. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded.

Indeed, after having the township chief. He's really a lot more comfortable now.

Cultivating genetic people and some other areas of infrastructure, now I don't have to do it myself.

The seven township chiefs did even better than he did.

Therefore, what Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to save money to invest in the research and development of new products.

When the time comes to modernize the town. It may or may not be possible in this era.

After all, the American continent is too rich in natural resources, and there are oil fields in the west......

"Alright, let's talk about what Song Hu did with those Iroquois. We all digress. You haven't even answered me. Retracting his thoughts, Zhao Hongyu turned the topic back.

Wang Shan replied with a sneer: "What else can I do?" Wang Hu told them to give up their Iroquois status and join the empire as Indians. And they shall recognize only two kings, and shall no longer recognize their princes. One king is you, and another king is Emma. ”

"The Iroquois can't be so easy to succumb to, after all, there are so many of them now." , Zhao Hongyu blinked his eyes and asked.

Wang Shan nodded: "Well, there was indeed a little chaos, but it quickly subsided." At the same time, Song Hu did not use force, because it would make things worse. ”

"If you don't use force, how will Wang Shan solve this problem?" After listening to Wang Shan's words, Zhao Hongyu was very puzzled.

Wang Shan explained: "Divide and pull together, and each one is broken. Although the Iroquois are a confederation, they are not monolithic and have their own interests. He said why.

Then, Wang Shan explained Song Hu's methods to Zhao Hongyu in detail.

First of all, Wang Hu took advantage of the Cayuga people, who had good relations with the Empire, because the Cayuga were the first tribe to come into contact with the Empire.

And the Cayuga people have a very good sense of the empire.

In addition, the insecticide of the empire was needed by the Kayuga people, so the Kayuga people took refuge in Wang Hu in the first time.

With the Cayuga people as their example, the rest is pretty straightforward

Under the guidance of the Cayuga people, Wang Hu gathered two tribes and a small tribe one after another.

These people have wisely chosen to be vassals under the wing of the Empire and become Emma's clan.

In their eyes, the queen of the empire was an Indian, and that was a good thing.

Moreover, the military power of the empire is very strong, which is also one of the reasons why many tribes choose to bow their heads.

The thing is very simple, Song Hu has nothing to do, he will conduct military exercises, pull out artillery and put it for a long time. So the Indians knew exactly how powerful the cannons were.

Hehe, after a long time, Song Hu still has such a hand.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hongyu still didn't understand, he also secretly admired Song Huzhong's secret threatening methods.

At least, it seems that this means are still very useful and effective.

"yes, who's to say it isn't. Song Hu did this, and it really scared the Iroquois. Wang Shan echoed with tears and laughter.

"So, the Iroquois are easy to solve. When we get rid of the French, there will be no enemies in the Great Lakes region, and the Iroquois will all be the subjects of our empire, will they? ”

As soon as Wang Shan's words fell, Zhao Hongyu nodded.

Indeed, according to Wang Shan's statement, and Song Hu's method, the Iroquois would indeed no longer be a threat.

The problem is that with such means, it is impossible for every Iroquois to bow down. That kind of die-hard people will be there in any era and in any race.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu raised his own concerns about Wang Shan.

"Your Highness, your concern is not unreasonable. Song Hu also took it into account, what he meant was that for this kind of diehard, there could only be one way to solve it. ”

Wang Shan's face was very hideous, and at the same time, he raised his hand and scratched his throat.

Zhao Hongyu couldn't understand the meaning of this action.

"Kill those diehards!"

Zhao Hongyu blurted out and said it.

Wang Shan nodded and responded, "Yes, deal with this kind of diehards." Rather than letting them go and causing us trouble, it is better to destroy them from body to soul. ”

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment, and he also understood that apart from this method, there was really no effective means anymore.

And those unwilling Iroquois diehards, if they are let go. Then the Song Empire, which annexed it, will definitely become their enemy.

At that time, the farmer owners who went to clear the land, and the few who went out to run errands, would inevitably become the targets of their attacks, and the losses would be small but unnecessary.

Therefore, it is also necessary to eliminate these security risks.

After figuring this out, the guilt in Zhao Hongyu's heart disappeared.

As the saying goes, friends of the dead are not dead and poor, and if you want to build an empire you own, bloodshed is inevitable.

"Tell Song Hu and let him act when he has the opportunity, what I want is land and no enemies."

"Yes, Your Highness!" ——

Dividing Line –

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The Iroquois army was fighting fiercely against the French at the fortified city of Quebec.

Around the fortress, the corpses of fallen Iroquois warriors were strewn.

The encircled French were no better off at this time, and their casualties were no less heavy.

At the same time, because of the earlier attack by the Gurkha genetists posing as Iroquois, the inhabitants of the rear of Quebec were also hit into the fortress.

This put material pressure on the fortress.

"Sir! If we continue to be surrounded like this, food will not last much longer. And now there is obviously not enough gunpowder, and there are also lead bullets and shells......"

After several months of siege, Leon is now left alone.

The rest of the men were all killed.

"Damn, how did these Iroquois attack so violently!" , Leon's face was not very good-looking, and there was no bloodshot at all.

Outside the fortress, fifty or sixty thousand Iroquois warriors surrounded the fortress densely.

The warriors standing behind the walls of the fortress looked at the Iroquois outside. And what they have in their eyes is the despair that doesn't see a glimmer of hope (to be continued. )
