Freely?

Bullshit!

In fact, Europeans also admired the slavery system very much in their bones, so there was nothing wrong with them recognizing the Eight Banners system.

As for freedom or something, it's just a gold paste on his face in later generations.

The reason why the Europeans in Manhattan recognized the Eight Banners system very much was because the revised Eight Banners system contained the concept of medieval knights.

The knight's loyalty to the nobles was transformed here into the loyalty of the coats and the minions to their masters.

At the same time, all kinds of red tape and the like are just another form of expression that is different from chivalric etiquette.

After all, this is America, it's the Song Empire, isn't it?

It is precisely because of this kind of propaganda that it is accompanied by a brainwashing policy that Europeans recognize the Eight Banners system of the Song Empire.

In addition, if you become a slave of the Eight Banners, you can get an improvement in status and preferential treatment in welfare.

It is no wonder that the Europeans of Manhattan are very eager to become coats or minions.

Like knights, coats and minions become warriors under the command of nobles, and are required to sacrifice their lives and loyalty.

Even, to die for the sake of the master.

And the coats and minions, whose lives and the freedom of their own descendants, will belong to their masters.

But, under Manhattan propaganda, this situation is just another transformation of loyalty.

I have to say that the brainwashing propaganda department of the Song Empire is very powerful, and it is a miracle that such crooked ideas can be recognized by those Europeans.

Of course, this is not unrelated to the kind of chivalry in the bones of Europeans.

At the same time, the propaganda that has changed the taste is also very demagogic.

Zhao Hongyu had a crying and laughing expression on his face, he was really defeated by Wang Shan and Zhang Tie.

"Well, if you want these guys to go to the battlefield for experiments, I'm not going to object.". Zhao Hongyu, who couldn't cry or laugh, opened his mouth to Wang Shan and Zhang Tiedao. "But you have to be careful, you can't let these guys make any unnecessary moves on the battlefield, or even turn against the battlefield and so on."

Although he has been brainwashed and a series of means, Zhao Hongyu's trust in these people is not very high.

Zhao Hongyu has always adhered to the concept that those who are not of my race must have different hearts, and looked at all those who are other than Huaxia gene people.

Except, of course, for those who have a small number of Mohicans.

Because the Mohicans, at least so far, have had a high level of support for themselves.

Coupled with the presence of Emma, a little girl, and his father-in-law, the black bear, so the Mohican people can be said to some extent to have a relationship with him that is both prosperous and loss-making.

Therefore. He was not afraid that the Mohicans would rebel against his rule.

And with the support of the Mohicans, some of the Indians who joined the Mohicans were also very supportive of themselves.

This creates a virtuous circle.

Compared to the more troublesome Europeans, the Indians were not a big threat, and they were easy to fool.

Only those Europeans worry Zhao the most.

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's thoughts, how could Zhang Tie, Song Hu and Wang Shan, who are henchmen, not know.

Therefore, they have never relaxed their surveillance of the Europeans who control the sphere of power.

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's reminder, Zhang Tie and Wang Shan smiled after glancing at each other.

In the end, Wang Shan opened his mouth and responded: "Your Highness." You can rest assured of this. The reason why we plan to put these Eight Banners soldiers on the battlefield is to test their loyalty. If they make a special move on the battlefield, we will deal with it in cold blood. ”

Wang Shan's words were obvious, he didn't care about the fate of those people at all.

If only these people could take care of it. If you want to charge into battle according to their demands, then it doesn't matter.

If he had other ideas, Wang Shan didn't care about killing them all.

The so-called 'processing' is a nice way to say, but to put it in cold blood. That's all shooting.

On the battlefield, Wang Shan and they can't just rely on these 'Eight Banners' soldiers who have not yet tested their loyalty, they will definitely draw out the troops of Lake Ontario and Quebec. to wage war against the British colonies.

These 'Eight Banners' fighters are just the vanguard of the vanguard.

Seeing that Wang Shan was so sure, Zhao Hongyu didn't say anything more.

He nodded: "Since you know it in your hearts, I won't say more." If you talk too much, you will think I am verbose, so I will now talk about the arrangements for waging war against the subordinate colonies. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie both sat up straight, and their expressions became serious.

Zhao Hongyu leaned on the sofa and said to the two of them: "We can't attack in the short term, after all, the British still have a lot of ships in Virginia, and when the time comes, they can enter Manhattan from the sea to make trouble for us, which is a point that we have to pay attention to." ”

"So I'm going to start this war against the British colonies after the first batch of heavy warships and copycat Dutch warships are launched."

After Wang Shan and Zhang Tie heard this, they both calculated the time and date in their own hearts.

It's autumn at the end of September.

If it had been postponed for three months, the war against the British colonies would not have been launched until the end of December.

In that case, it happens to be the coldest time of winter.

The Imperial Army had thick equipment to protect against the cold, and it was not difficult to launch an attack in winter.

In addition, there are many reindeer on Manhattan Island, which can be very useful in the winter.

On the other hand, the British have less advantage in winter than on their side.

They lack food and clothing, and the cold alone can greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, there is no problem with timing.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu is also right, now that Manhattan has been attacked by pirates, the strength of the sea cannot be recovered in the short term.

It also took two or three months for heavy battleships and copycat Dutch battleships to be launched and a new maritime defense force to be formed.

With this new naval force, Manhattan was able to defend itself against the navy of the British colonies.

As for the current tin fishing boats, they have lost their combat capabilities due to their aging and the depletion of the cottage shoulder-fired bazookas, so they are not of much use at all.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tie said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, there is no problem with the timing of the war. So how big do you plan to do this war? ”

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and asked, "How many troops are there in the two British colonies?" ”

Zhang Tie replied: "No more than 30,000 people, six eight-pounder guns, a small number of arquebuses. After thinking about it, he added: "According to intelligence, the armies of these two colonies are also carrying out musket tactics in a five-line column. ”

Zhao Hongyu pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this: "Let them practice, even if they practice, I am not afraid." You must know that our flintlock pistols have a much longer range than their arquebuses, so even if they learn this tactic, they will not have any advantage. ”

Zhang Tie agrees with this statement very much.

"There are more than three soldiers, and this is not a small military force. Are they all soldiers? ”

Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while and then looked at Zhang Tie and asked.

"That's the case," Zhang Tie shook his head and replied, "Actually, most of the population of these two British colonies came to our Manhattan, and those who stayed were basically soldiers. So ......"

Zhao Hongyu let out an 'oh', and then he understood.

"In that case, let's do what I just said. Although 30,000 people is not a small number, it is just a bone that needs to be gnawed on for us. ”

Zhao Hongyu didn't pay much attention to this problem.

After the last moment, after the three of them chatted for a while, they determined the time of the attack, the plan and the route, and then dispersed.

With Zhao Hongyu's decision, Zhang Tie began to connect Quebec and Ontario City, mobilizing soldiers from these two cities to gather in Manhattan.

In such a war, Zhao Hongyu will not let the Huaxia gene people die.

Therefore, the Somali old black in Quebec, as well as the Gurkha and the former Iroquois Indians in Ontario City, have become the best choice of cannon fodder.

As for the genetic people of Chinese descent?

Isn't it okay to follow the army as a political work cadre?

What they need to do is not to go to the front line to charge, but to grasp the ideological dynamics of everyone.

That's the most fundamental thing.

No one was aware of the Song Empire's troop movements.

People are still living their lives and doing their jobs.

The British did not realize that a danger was quietly approaching them.

"Humph! The British actually occupied Pennsylvania, to put things in the light of European standards. They also said that whoever occupies the ownerless land belongs to whomever they wanted, and they didn't take me seriously at all. ”

In the bedroom, Zhao Hongyu and Sara hugged each other, Zhao Hongyu was half-lying on Sara Mountain leaning on her arm, and hummed.

"I know this rule, and it was laid down by the church decades ago. But the Americas should be up to you, not the British. ”

Sara didn't have a good impression of the UK, so he followed Zhao Hongyu's words and said.

"Soon, I'm going to drive all these damned Englishmen out to sea. I'm going to show them that here in the Americas it's not what they want to do, they can do what they want. ”

In fact, Zhao Hongyu had always been uncomfortable with the British occupying the land between Manhattan and Virginia, but he didn't have the time to pay attention to this matter at that time.

Now things in Europe are on track and are proceeding according to his plan.

So now, Zhao Hongyu can focus on this matter.

The British, doomed to bad luck, aren't they. (To be continued.) )
