Chapter 132: Consolidating Louisiana
Thank you for the 10,000 starting point coins of the Eternal Believer, and the authors of the big rewards for all your friends have remembered it, and they have been put on the shelves!
After the rise of the Han Empire and the consumption of perennial wars, the Indian human resources in California began to become scarce due to such a large-scale migration by Zhao Dutian!
When Zhao Dutian ordered the re-recruitment of the American Self-Defense Forces in the relocated areas to fill the gap, the Ministry of the Interior handed over to Zhao Dutian a detailed regional population document, and the young and strong labor force of the Indians had been mobilized to the limit, and it was impossible to mobilize on a large scale, otherwise it would affect the social production that was taking shape!
The Han Empire was in the midst of the first industrial revolution, and the factories and equipment needed a lot of workers, the construction of railways also required a lot of workers, and the construction of forts and ships, there were too many places that needed people!
The number of Han Chinese is not large, so it naturally needs to be filled with Indians, so the human resources of the Han Empire have begun to approach the upper limit!
Less than ten years after the founding of the Han Empire, the new generation of children had not yet reached the age of working, and Zhao Dutian, who was reckless in military force and expanding his territory, squandered the Indian population, which caused this phenomenon......
All in all, the expansion of the Han Empire has reached a small bottleneck!
For this reason, the replenishment plan of the American Field Army was shelved, which did not have much impact on the military strength of the Han Empire, because in the battle against the Sioux, the performance of the American Field Army was too unsatisfactory!
The size of the Field Army of the Americas was reduced back to 10,000 men......
However, the army did not expand, but the territory of the Han Empire nearly doubled, and the migration of a large number of people and the enslavement of the Sioux finally reached the minimum demand for gold mining in Louisiana, and at the same time, the Han Empire also truly ruled Louisiana!
In addition, the Han Empire also built a fortress city with Han characteristics at the confluence of the Missouri River and the Colorado River, which has fertile land and abundant water resources, suitable for human habitation, and closer to St. Louis City!
On top of that, there are already traces of humanity here, and it seems to be called Omaha, well, now called Omaha City!
In the ninth year of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire was building and occupying Louisiana, and with the city of Omahali, closer to the city of St. Louis, next to the Missouri River Valley, Kansas City was established, and the lower Arkansas River was close to the border of the Spanish colonies, and Little Rock was established!
These cities mainly served as military fortresses and garrisons, and it can be said that with the establishment of these cities closer to the border with Louisiana, the Louisiana of the Han Empire became more solid
In the face of the aggressive persecution of the Han Empire, the French army in the city of St. Louis did not increase but decreased!
The situation in France on the European battlefield is getting worse and worse, and the French have to find Frederick who betrayed them again!
And Frederick felt bad for Maria Theresia's mighty army!
Maria Theresia threatened not only the Prussian occupation of Silesia, but also Prussia itself, and Frederick the Great reunited with the promise of forgiveness for his previous betrayal with the olive branch of the French cabinet!
The French needed the Prussians' strong army, and Frederick needed the support of the French to fight against the growing kingdom of Austria!
In the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Dutian was busy establishing Salt Lake City and Santa Fe City on the border and transportation points of his territory, Frederick's 80,000 troops had already reached the Prague gate, and half a month later, the defenders surrendered, he left 5,000 troops to garrison the Bohemian capital, and then marched south, and once again threatened Wyn Maria Theresia to go to Pressburg, asking the Hungarian parliament to send troops to support her again, and the parliament gave her 44,000 troops, and soon added 30,000. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Charlie of Lorraine was ordered to lead the main army to abandon the attack on Alsace and join forces to cut off Frederick's rear, Frederick estimated that the French army would pursue the Austrian army, but they did not move. He tried to force the Prince of Lorraine to join him, but Charles Alexander avoided him and went to his aid to cut off the Prussian army from the lines of communication with Silesia.
Frederick found that history was repeating itself, his army was isolated between ardent Catholics and hostile peoples, the Hungarian army was coming to join forces with the Prince of Lorraine, and soon worse news came that Saxony had openly sided with Austria. Frederick, fearful of being cut off from his capital, withdrew his troops northward, scolding the treacherous French and ordering the abandonment of Prague, where 12,000 of his troops had been killed piecemeal, and when he returned to Berlin, half of his army was gone, and this time he was no longer as proud as he had been, for he finally knew that the untrustworthy would eventually be abandoned.
After Frederick's withdrawal, the British, Dutch Republic, and Polish-Saxony signed treaties of alliance between Warsaw and the Austrian monarchies, demanding that the signatories restore their pre-war borders, thereby denying the legitimacy of Frederick's occupation of Silesia.
At this point, Queen Maria Theresia's next goal is to recover Silesia!
However, at this moment, the tide of the war was reversed, and the French defeated the Anglo-Dutch army at the Battle of Fontenoy, which troubled the Queen, and then the 60,000 Prussian army launched a surprise attack, raiding 100,000 Austrian and Saxon troops in the early hours of the morning, driving them out of the barracks, and the newly reorganized Prussian cavalry made a crucial contribution to the victory at the Battle of Hohenfriedburg. The Austrians slowly retreated, and after a period of pursuit, the Prussian army found that it had no effect, so they stopped going deeper.
Since then, the French army and the Prussian army have changed their declining situation and begun to grasp the lost strategic initiative!
This news was naturally received by Zhao Dutian!
The intelligence of the secret service clearly shows that the French are going to turn over!
Moreover, the battle of 100,000 people on the European battlefield also made the Han Empire, whose human resources were in a tense period, unable to carry out large-scale wars! The territory swallowed by the Han Empire is a bit large now, and it is still in the transition period of the industrial revolution, and the naval fleet has just completed the construction of ships, and it has not yet formed combat effectiveness!
That empire, which was once small and full, is still in the digestion period, and it is the weakest time!
The new local garrisons have shared a large number of troops, and if they want to gather tens of thousands of troops again, they will have to give up large tracts of land!
If that's the case, wouldn't Zhao Dutian have been busy in vain these two years?!
Another key factor in Zhao Dutian's reluctance to give up Louisiana is that after gaining most of Louisiana's territory occupation, Zhao Dutian received a systematic fixed reward, increasing his lifespan by 10 years and delaying aging!
As long as Zhao Dutian keeps Louisiana for 10 years, this reward will be solidified!
