Chapter 1053: San Francisco (1)
Although there have been great changes due to some special reasons, the pace of history has not stopped.
Since Zhao Hongyu appeared in this time and space, he appeared in this era.
The changes he brought to this era have begun to be elusive and weird.
In the end, because of his arrival, no one knows what the final changes in this era can look like.
Even Zhao Hongyu, who is a little butterfly itself, can't see the future clearly.
Europe is in chaos, here in the East is in chaos, and the development of the Americas is completely different from history.
Now Zhao Hongyu himself is in the East, so what kind of changes can his arrival bring to the East?
Unfortunately, no one can give an answer to this.
History has changed beyond recognition, and in such a situation, even the real gods are very troubled to think about.
Americas, San Francisco Great Plains.
At this time, there were many people gathered on the plain, all dressed in garments made of animal skins, and their faces were completely different from those of the East and the West.
They are all Indians of the San Francisco Plains, and they don't know how to do it, but today they actually gathered so many people to appear in this grassland.
As can be seen from the ranks of the Indians, their queues at this time were prepared entirely for war.
And the faces of the Indians who were neatly lined up were all very solemn.
In the sky, a flock of vultures is circling.
These birds know that the grasslands below, those creatures that are not like them, can break out into a big conflict. And when the conflict is over, there are many corpses left behind, and these corpses will eventually become their delicious food.
Only, before those creatures went to war. I can only hover in the sky and wait.
If you fall at this time, it will be very dangerous for yourself.
The animals in the vicinity have long since disappeared, because a large number of Indians have arrived, and the animals have also sensed the danger, so they have long fled the area.
Speaking of which, animals are much more sensitive to danger than humans.
The Indian armies of the steppes, roughly estimated, were almost all over 100,000 men.
Such a large Indian army is still uncommon in the Americas.
At least. After the Iroquois on the east coast were wiped out, such Indian armies became uncommon.
Today, however, on the East Coast, in the Great Plains of San Francisco, there are once again more than 100,000 Native American troops. This means that something big must be happening in this area.
Otherwise, the Indians in this area would never have gathered such a large army of warriors.
Woo!
As soon as the Indians entered the Great Plains, another contingent appeared on the other side of the plain, and before this contingent appeared. The sound of 'woo-woo' echoed over the plains.
On the horizon opposite this Indian army, which exceeded 100,000 men, a black line slowly appeared.
A man Indian put away a snail made of conch, and then a row of soldiers dressed in Song Empire uniforms came out of the jungle behind, they lined up in a neat line. Walking at a neat pace.
Now it is very clear that the enemies of those Indians on the opposite side turned out to be the imperial army.
"This time we must destroy all these enemies, as long as we defeat them in this war. Then we will have no enemies in this area. ”
At the rear of the line, Wang Shan was speaking to his lieutenants and the Indian chiefs who were vassals under the command of the Empire.
Those Indian tribal chiefs around. They were wearing green military coats, and when they looked at Wang Shan, they all had a look of adoration on their faces.
For them, this general, who looks very young, is simply a rebirth of the god of war.
Under his leadership, the army had won a series of victories and crushed several large Indian tribes.
Such a victory was unthinkable to them before.
But now, under the leadership of this general, they continue to reap such victories.
As the first Indian 'Eagle' to take refuge, he is now Wang Shan's henchman.
And his tribe, as the first tribe to take refuge, had already gained great benefits, and had a high status among the tribes in the territory controlled by the San Francisco Empire.
Of course, the eagle knew very well that his small tribe could now have its current status, which was completely inseparable from the empire.
I think that before he encountered the Empire, his tribe was just a small tribe on the coast of San Francisco, with a population of only more than 1,000 people, and he had to be attacked by other tribes at all times.
And at that time, not far from the Great Plains, a tribal war provoked by a large tribe was breaking out, and their life was very sad at that time.
However, since they met the Empire and cooperated with it, the life of their tribe has changed dramatically in a short period of time, and their standard of living has also greatly improved.
Children don't have to go hungry anymore, the elderly can be treated more effectively when they're sick, and in the winter they can wear warmer clothes and never have to be cold.
And they also obtained more powerful iron weapons from the hands of the empire, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the tribe.
In the past, these things were unthinkable.
At the same time, the empire established cities by the sea, and at the same time cultivated a large number of fertile land. When these fertile fields were cultivated, the empire sent people to teach them how to farm.
Although they had missed the good season, they also planted a crop in a hurry.
And in the autumn, there was a lot of harvest.
Now the homes of the tribe's companions are not all full of grain.
The cold winter season, which used to be terrifying, seems to be less scary this year.
All of this is the change brought about by the Song Empire.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Song Empire, and trading with them, and teaching them how to farm the land, and treating the old people and children in the tribe, God knows how many people would die in this winter.
Because in the winter of previous years, many people in the tribe would die.
Only this year is different, so far no one has died.
This gave them a new life, and a new hope.
At the same time, the strength of the Song Empire is beyond doubt.
During the frequent tribal wars in the Great Plains, the Song Empire kept the danger out of the way, while the territory under its control developed steadily.
It can be said that the war on the plains had little effect on the areas controlled by the empire.
Therefore, the tribe where the eagle belonged was the first to decide to join the Song Empire as a vassal, striving to be a real citizen of the empire in the future.
"Lord Governor, I think that under your leadership, we will be invincible. Those clowns on the other side are no match for us at all, and this time we will definitely defeat them and finally take control of this plain and become the overlord here. ”
The eagle stumbled and used the Mandarin he had learned for half a year to flatter Wang Shan a little.
Wang Shan, who was sitting on the war horse, was very indifferent to pretending to be 13, and seemed a little shy.
However, it can be seen from the expression on his face that he agrees with what the eagle said.
The Indians on the other side were not taken seriously by him at all.
You must know that now under his command, there are as many as 36,000 regular imperial troops. And there was also a large number of Indian vassal armies, which numbered more than 50,000 people.
In other words, the current troops under Wang Shan's command have not reached 100,000, but they are almost the same.
Compared to the Indian army on the other side, his strength here is not much weaker.
Therefore, Wang Shan's heart is more confident.
"We have to be respectful of our opponents and we don't have to be too proud. If we are too proud, something unexpected will often happen, so we have to stay calm and face everything. ”
"The Governor is right, your wisdom has infected us too." , the horses of the Indians were also very powerful.
Rows and rows of Imperial Army marched in neat formations, and on either flank of the ranks were tens of thousands of Indian vassals.
These vassal corps have now completely changed their shotguns, and their weapons and equipment have been updated.
That's the benefit of following the empire.
These vassal Indian warriors each had a sharp machete, a sharp dagger and a hand axe on each side of their thighs.
At the same time, each of them also held a European-style tower shield to cover themselves tightly.
It can be said that the Indian army under the vassal command of the empire is definitely not a little stronger in terms of defense than the Indian team opposite.
The weapons used by the Indians on the opposite side were bone spears and stone axes, and at most they were covered with a piece of armor with wood chips, which was still available to very high-ranking people.
Compared to their fellow Indians on the East Coast, they are like Hanako.
This is also one of the reasons why they were always defeated by Wang Shan in the early battles with Wang Shan.
Without good weapons and equipment, this is absolutely not possible.
Especially in the face of the Empire's muskets and artillery, they seemed so helpless and weak.
"After today's battle, we're going to try to grab as many slaves as possible. The construction of San Francisco still requires a lot of labor, so do you all know what to do? ”
Wang Shan looked around with a majestic expression.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!"
The genetic generals, as well as a group of Indian chiefs, responded one after another. (To be continued......)
