Chapter 228 - Preparing for the Reception of Quebec
Despair spread among the fortresses of Quebec.
Leon knew if he controlled the spread of this emotion. Or if he can't figure out a way to solve these problems, then there will be big trouble.
The war lasted from winter to spring, but the Iroquois showed no signs of retreating, and it seemed that they were going to fight the French.
Leon wondered what had happened to these Iroquois, and why they had suddenly become so crazy and fearless of death.
This is not at all the usual Indians.
In fact, where did he know that the reason why such a situation occurred was entirely due to Zhao Hongyu's blessings.
If it weren't for the Foreign Legion in Parma, pretending to be French, attacking the Iroquois villages, destroying the remaining 3,000 legions, and massacring the Iroquois, the Iroquois at the front would not have become so insane.
Quite simply, the Iroquois want revenge.
They need to use the blood of the French to extinguish the fire in their hearts.
Therefore, this time the Iroquois will definitely not retreat easily.
Either they were defeated by the French, or they stormed the Iroquois fortress and slaughtered the French.
Other than that, there is no second way to go.
Again, the losses on the side of the French were just as great.
The Gurkhagis braved the Iroquois and destroyed French towns and slaughtered many French people.
As a result, some radical groups in the French community were clamoring for a fight to the death against the Iroquois.
Unfortunately, it was now formally unfavorable to the French, and they were still on the defensive to fight back against the Iroquois.
The Iroquois who surrounded them from outside were receiving reinforcements every day, and their numbers were constantly increasing.
On the other hand, there are no reinforcements at all, not to mention that they can't break through at the same time.
Leon is really anxious right now. I don't know what to do.
Speaking of which, it is also to blame for them, who were the ones who were going to forcibly build a fort in Montreal and attack the Iroquois villages first.
If they weren't too greedy, things wouldn't have gone so bad.
"The natives are attacking again!"
A shrill shout pierced the sky, and everyone tensed.
The warriors stationed on the walls of the fortress all had very tired expressions on their faces, and they were all sore.
Yes, the Iroquois attacked in waves, and they didn't get a good rest.
If this continues, no one can say anything.
Below. The Iroquois used it like a tide, and the black pressure is very depressing.
Once again, the offensive and defensive battles began.
The Iroquois attacks continued throughout the day, much to the exhaustion of the French.
Originally, the French wanted peace talks, but the emissaries sent were all beheaded by the Iroquois and thrown back.
This made the French very desperate.
People don't talk to you at all.
The French, who have always looked down on the natives, realized at this time that they really did something wrong.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine sold in this world at all.
Attacked by the Parma Foreign Legion, the Iroquois who remained in the Great Lakes region began to migrate to the northern battlefields of Kuibei.
Simply. The Iroquois no longer remain in the Great Lakes region.
They decided to fight the French, either the French were killed by them, or the Iroquois were killed by the French.
It is precisely because of this that there are a large number of Iroquois every day. Arrive underneath the Quebec Fortress.
This has put increasing pressure on the French.
The Iroquois thought very clearly, to drive out the French and then establish a new home on French land.
It's not safe in the Great Lakes region.
In this way, it is cheaper for Zhao Hongyu.
Song Hu got the position of 'township chief' and had a small authority.
So. He began to focus on the development of the Great Lakes region.
It won't be long before the entire Great Lakes region will be completely occupied.
Now Zhao Hongyu's 'Song Empire' is developing very rapidly. In addition to Lake Ontario and Manhattan, five more cities are under construction.
And Zhao Hongyu knew that after he was promoted to the level of civil affairs again two years later, he could have more low-level authority gene people to build the city.
At that time, hehe, you will become really strong.
But it's not bad now, basically like Song Hu, they can basically gain a foothold, and finally develop with one city controlling four to five cities.
In other words, within two years, Zhao Hongyu can have 35-40 cities, each of which basically has a population of 100,000 or 200,000.
Of course, most of these populations have to be counted as Indians.
After all, now that Zhao Hongyu has occupied the central part of the Americas, it should not be difficult to rein in those local Indians as long as he takes his time.
"Your Highness, the Iroquois migrated to Quebec and ceded the Great Lakes region. The situation of the French is not very good now. ”
On this day, Wang Shan came to see Zhao Hongyu with a piece of information.
After receiving the information, Zhao Hongyu took a look.
"It's good for us that the Iroquois people leave the Great Lakes, so that Song Hu won't have any trouble developing in the Great Lakes region." After Zhao Hongyu finished reading it, he put the information on the table and said. "But let the Iroquois deal with the French, and we'll have to deal with the Iroquois in Kuibei."
Judging from the newspapers, the situation of the French is very bad.
The current French are short of food and ammunition, and they can no longer support it.
If it weren't for the ferocity of the Iroquois and the fact that the Iroquois simply did not make peace, the French would have surrendered long ago.
"Your Highness, shouldn't we take action?" , Wang Shan asked. "We need to prepare as soon as possible, the French won't be able to support it for long, we have to take action when the Iroquois have just dealt with the French, and get rid of the Iroquois."
Wang Shan's plan is obvious, that is, to be the yellow finch behind the praying mantis catching cicadas.
Zhao Hongyu was noncommittal about this approach, who made the Iroquois so obsessed with the land.
But if there is any other way, Zhao Hongyu will not use drastic means to do this.
"How much population do the Iroquois still have, and the mood of the Iroquois who took refuge in the past on Song Hu's side has stabilized. I don't want Song Hu to have some trouble when we deal with those Iroquois who haven't taken refuge. ”
Zhao Hongyu's fingers lightly rested on the table and kept tapping.
He was worried that his actions would have an impact on Song Hu's side.
Wang Shan knew what His Highness was worried about, so he replied, "Your Highness, it's not a big problem. Those people are no longer Iroquois, they have all become citizens of the Empire. Although they didn't know what a citizen was, it didn't matter, Song Hu asked them to recognize Queen Emma. ”
Zhao Hongyu quietly listened to Wang Shan talk to himself about Song Hu's side.
In addition, in order to brainwash these guys, Song Hu also tampered with the red quotations. Every day, these people who came over to the Iroquois recited what Queen Emma was a big ship and Her Highness was a helmsman and so on. After a month, I have received a lot of results, and I don't think there should be any problems. ”
Burst!
Zhao Hongyu was picking up the cup to take a sip of water, when he suddenly heard Wang Shan say this, he almost didn't squirt out.
I'm going to go!
What kind of moth does Song Hu want to play, he even used this method.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan with some tears and laughter, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Your Highness, the means are a bit like that. But the effect is very good, we can't look at what means Song Hu uses, we have to see what the final result is. ”
Wang Shan looked at his Royal Highness and looked over, and he didn't know what His Highness was thinking now. So he hurriedly excused Song Hu and explained to Zhao Hongyu well.
Zhao Hongyu didn't understand the truth that Wang Shan said, but he felt that Song Hu was a little too much.
"Forget it, let him go, as long as he can stabilize Lake Ontario. As you said, the means are not important, let's open the result. No matter what, Zhao Hongyu was indeed persuaded by Wang Shan.
When Wang Shan heard this, his face showed joy.
"That's right, Your Highness, although this guy Song Hu didn't use this method for four or six, as long as he can stabilize Lake Ontario City, that's fine."
"Wang Shan, after the Iroquois have conquered Quebec, there will definitely not be a single French person left. And what kind of reason do we use to talk to the Iroquois and enter Quebec? ”
After getting back to business, Zhao Hongyu asked.
"Isn't Lady Sarah's reason enough, and the Iroquois can't do anything if we use force to suppress it." , Wang Shanyin said to Zhao Hongyu with a smile.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Justification, and strong force as a backing." The Iroquois had just been through such a big war, and there was no way for them to continue to start a new war, so the chances of us going to war with them were low. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hongyu said.
Wang Shan said: "Yes, the Iroquois and the French have been fighting for so long. They were already exhausted, and what they needed after the French was to rest, and it was simply impossible to open up a new war again. Besides, we are not French, and our weapons and equipment are better than those of the French, and the Iroquois will definitely not take advantage of them in the slightest if they go to war. ”
"And many of the Iroquois took refuge in Song Hu, plus the massacre of Parma and the loss of war with the French. The Iroquois population is numbered now, and they can't afford a bigger war. ”
Wang Shan analyzed Zhao Hongyu's current situation in Iroquois. (To be continued.) )
