Chapter 217: A little tangled
After determining Zhao Hongyu's plan, Wang Shan hurriedly sent people to Manhattan to inform Song Hu and ask him to prepare the corps and conduct the war.
Of course, according to Zhao Hongyu's request, half of Manhattan's troops, about 3,000 people, will be transferred.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, who were in the Lake Ontario area, were not idle, and they continued to send small teams to the Cayuga tribe to inquire about the current affairs between the Iroquois and the French in the name of trade.
In the Cayuga tribe, Zhao Hongyu and the others got a lot of information.
The Iroquois had assembled a force of about 10,000 men and was heading for the fortress of Montreal.
The current Iroquois were not in the mood to start a large-scale war with the French, after all, it was still winter.
Moreover, the Iroquois only thought of teaching the French a lesson and then retaliating against them.
Unfortunately, the Iroquois didn't know anything about it, and the French didn't want to make a fuss.
Therefore, neither Zhao Hongyu nor Wang Shan thought that this team of 10,000 people could bring any losses to the French.
The Cayuga tribe also sent more than 1,000 warriors to participate, which is already one-third of the military strength of the Cayuga tribe.
Of course, if it comes to a crisis, the old man and the children of the Indians can also be counted as warriors, and by that time the army can basically be doubled several times.
All the Iroquois did not find the French to be fearful, and they lived a peaceful life every day.
The trade between the Cayuga tribe and Zhao Hongyu is also in full swing.
Because he was worried about the war, Zhao Hongyu did not find other tribes to expand trade, but only contacted other tribes through the Cayuga people to trade with him.
Here, the Cayuga people did earn some intermediary fees, or the difference in the price of the sale.
For this, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan don't care.
But even so, Zhao Hongyu has made a lot of money, and the amount of his virtual account has grown to 600 million.
600 million RMB. It's really not a decimal number.
If you breed cheap Gurkha people, according to 20,000 yuan per person, then you can breed 30,000 Gurkha people.
30,000 genetic people, if cultivated a few more times, this will definitely allow Zhao Hongyu to break through the civil affairs level of the township chief and rise to the level of the town mayor.
And Zhao Hongyu has always felt it. After upgrading your own civil affairs level. There may be some new features and changes.
Because in his opinion, since space-time trading has such a function, then this function will definitely have his usefulness, rather than thinking that it is a bit like chicken ribs like now.
Of course. Zhao Hongyu also admitted that the reason why it is a bit like chicken ribs is because he has not yet discovered the benefits of some functions.
On this day, Zhao Hongyu checked the space-time trader's own xìng column.
His current civil affairs level is the township head, and there is still a lot of gap between him and the town mayor.
Civil Affairs Level: Township Chief Gene Loyalty is always +8
Farmers: 11,589/100,000
The next level is 'Mayor', please meet the upgrade conditions.
(After becoming mayor of the town.) Turn on new features)
Military Rank: None
Soldier: 0/12
The next rank is 'squad leader', please meet the promotion conditions!
'Shanzhai' Technique Research Heart: matches, wooden dishes, cast iron axes, cast iron kitchen knives, pig iron pots, pig iron daggers, pig iron machetes, penicillin, salt water, banlan root, white and black, epsom stop, effervescent tablets fruit flavor, Fuling mustard, red star two pot heads, bulk rice aged rice, cotton army coats, trousers, leather boots, green sè canvas crossbody bag, 17th century arquebus, flintlock rifle, flintlock handcuffs, paper ammunition, 24-pounder guns and shells, inferior toothpaste, inferior toothbrushes, shampoo paste, bricks, cement, Inferior ceramic dishes, iron saws, hammers, planers, chisels, customizable 18th century cottage clothing, cattle, sheep, thirteen spices, peppercorns, nutmeg, tangerine peel, ......
Looking at the hint of the brackets under his genus, Zhao Hongyu gritted his teeth.
Damn, Gurkha genetics are cheap, but if there are too many of them, he can't be sure that there will be any accidents.
To know that the system has prompted you to keep the amount of Huaxia coefficient.
From this, it can be seen that God knows that there are too many genetic people of other races. Isn't there going to be some kind of moth?
Zhao Hongyu didn't dare to take this risk.
However, he now wants to move from the civil affairs level to the mayor of the town as soon as possible.
Because after upgrading to the mayor, there will be a new feature.
Zhao Hongyu really wants to know what the new features are, in case it is really a very useful one.
And now he has more than 10,000 genetic people. There are still more than 80,000 people before being promoted to mayor.
God is pitiful, if you don't breed cheap genetic people, just cultivating Huaxia genetic people God knows when you will be able to cultivate 100,000 people.
It's really embarrassing to die.
If you breed Gurkha genetic people, and do not consider some of the risk factors that may bring. It's a really good choice.
Now he can raise 30,000 people by himself, and he can also alleviate his lack of troops.
Even according to the breeding genes, there is a chance that a female xìng will appear. But I can have more than 10,000 fighters.
This is the worst-case scenario.
Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu found Wang Shan and told him what he thought.
For half a month, Wang Shan has been busy collecting intelligence, then analyzing the dynamics and arranging the camp.
After seeing His Highness today and listening to His Highness's difficult things, he put down the work at hand.
"Your Highness, sometimes you have to take a risk when you need to take a risk. I'd also like to know what kind of new features will appear when you move up to mayor in the civil affairs rank. And the Gurkhas you are worried about should not be very likely in my opinion, because the Gurkhas can serve you as long as they give money. ”
Wang Shan quickly gave his own opinion.
After seeing that his Highness was listening to his words very carefully, he continued: "Compared to the Somali old black and those Asan, the Gurkhas really have no intention of rebellion, they want a rich life and you can pay your salary on time. If the mutiny gene is the largest, only Somalia is black. ”
Zhao Hongyu also agrees with what Wang Shan said.
The most turbulent place in later generations is Africa, so it is understandable that Wang Shan said that the Somali Lao Hei has the greatest mutiny factor.
However, now these Somali genetics around Zhao Hongyu will not rebel.
First of all, there are not many of them. And it doesn't make up the majority.
And they are also limited by other germline genetic people, so they can't afford to make big waves.
Besides, there are not only genetic people in Manhattan, but also more Indians.
There were more Indians under Queen Emma than there were genetic people. If the situation is critical, then these Indians are definitely an unexpected new force.
The reason why Zhao Hongyu won Emma in the first place. That's because it's taken into account.
These forces and groups under his command, in addition to keeping the Huaxia system strong, must also suppress other genetic people.
Only in this way will Zhao Hongyu's turf be stable.
And the virtual space-time trader prompts the 'keep the number of Chinese gene people'. In Zhao Hongyu's opinion, it is absolutely impossible to show it for no reason.
Behind this, there must be a meaning.
"Then I'll give it a try, anyway, 30,000 Gurkha people shouldn't have much of a problem." After Wang Shan's persuasion, Zhao Hongyu's heart relaxed.
Now he really has no other choice.
Know the way. 30,000 genetic people can solve a big problem.
Especially at a time like this-
Dividing Line –
Just when Zhao Hongyu was having a headache about what kind of germline gene people to cultivate, the army of 10,000 people sent by Iroquois had already arrived at the fortress of Montreal and was preparing to attack.
The Montreal Fortress was built on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, so there was no need to worry about drinking water after being besieged.
At the same time, when the fortress of Montreal was built, the Iroquois would attack with the problem in mind, so the French used large rocks as the walls of the fortress.
The fortress is twenty meters high and ten meters wide. Has a strong defensive capability.
The French even placed a couple of eight-pounder cannons on the fortress.
In the face of such a fortress, the Iroquois were at a loss.
In the middle of winter, they simply couldn't find the right plants and vines to weave ropes to climb the fortress.
Besides, even if they find the vine, it will be a problem to throw it to a height of twenty meters.
And the winter weather is very cold. The Iroquois also did not have a small logistical tribe, so they simply could not fight for long periods of time.
Retreating like this, the Iroquois felt very shameless again.
For a moment, the Iroquois were stupidly staying outside the fortress in Montreal. I don't know what to do.
Fortunately, they were persuaded by the Cayuga before they came. I bought a lot of labor protection cotton clothes from Zhao Hongyu, otherwise I wouldn't have to fight without fighting, and the weather alone would have made the Iroquois drink a pot.
The French in Montreal had long been prepared for the arrival of the Iroquois.
After all, they were fighting with the idea of starting a war with the Iroquois, otherwise they wouldn't have sent troops in to provoke them.
So, when they spotted the Iroquois, they immediately closed the gates of the fortress. And mobilized the soldiers to run on the fortress, each standing at his own post.
The French were confident that they could hold off the Iroquois attack under Montreal.
The Indians' raids and ambushes were indeed formidable, but they could not be used in the winter.
The personal combat strength of these Indians is also very good, but unfortunately they really have nothing to do with the fortress.
The French also did not think that the Iroquois could hold much outside the fortress.
And they can contain more than 10,000 Iroquois warriors here, and they can also give the rear more time to calmly plan and buy more time.
