The middle of Yinzhou, the middle reaches of the honey river.

Five small river boats, churning on the turbulent flood peak of the Honey River, sailed upstream with great difficulty.

A few Ming soldiers and a group of immigrants were together, grabbing the side of the boat and scolding their mothers by the way.

"The spring flood of this honey river is too fierce."

"The spring floods show that there is a lot of snowfall in the upper reaches of the winter, which can also be regarded as a good thing to some extent."

"Is there any update on the test record? What is the current velocity of the water?"

"At the moment, there are more than four sections."

"Our fleet should be traveling at ten knots, but the actual speed relative to the river bank is just over five knots."

"The banks of the river are full of mudflats, flooded, and they dare not build a city by the river without building a dam."

"This winding river looks like muddy water rolling in a depression......

"I thought that the honey river would be the Yangtze River, but it turned out to be a large Yellow River......

"Both sides of the Honey River are large plains, just like our native Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, there are no hills and stones all over the south of the Yangtze River, so this river can only be the Yellow River with more water, not the Yangtze River."

"Of course, it is not comparable to the Yangtze River, don't look at the spring flood water of the Honey River, I have heard Xiyi here say that after the flood season of this river, the water depth in most places is only two or three meters, and many places may only be more than one meter......

"Two or three meters? The water depth of the estuary during the flood season can be nearly 10 meters, so the difference between the flood season and the non-flood season is too big!"

"What's even more outrageous is that there's a big tributary coming up in front of us, called the Ohio River, and they say this river, it's a mile wide and a foot deep, and most animals can wade across it.

"There is also a tributary that has been named a wild horse by Xiyi, and there is no fixed river channel, and it flows casually during the flood season every year......

"Although this river looks big, it is completely different from the Yangtze River, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can be used as a seaport, this river is not well maintained, and there is no navigable value at all."

"Don't compare with the Yangtze River, the talent of the Yangtze River is unique in the world, unless the Yajiang rainforest in Nanyin Island becomes an industrial area, there is no river on the earth that can compare the shipping value with the Yangtze River."

"We have to dig deep channels and build dams along rivers during the non-flood season, and then cooperate with barrage dams to raise the water level in the middle and lower reaches, so that we can treat the Yellow River and Huai River as ......

"Who the hell said that the fertile fields are like the Central Plains, the wind and rain are as smooth as the south of the Yangtze River, is there a fucking Yellow River in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"The area around this river is indeed fertile, you see how lush the grass is, the bison can't see their heads when they get into it, and the best fields under this grassland are just to avoid the flooded areas."

"I've inquired, the advertising slogan is written according to the New Tianfu of Southern Yinzhou, at that time, people didn't know what the central part of Northern Yinzhou was like, and it was estimated that Yinzhou should be about the same......

"What is it called Yinzhou, there is a difference of tens of thousands of kilometers between the north and the south, okay, I should go to South Yinzhou, I heard that I came to North Yinzhou after a lot of fields here, and I already knew to go to South Yinzhou."

"Don't complain, it's all here......

"It's all here...... I can't go back......

"Wait, there seems to be someone up ahead......

A group of people stopped scolding their mothers and watched as the soldiers climbed up to the lookout and took binoculars to observe: ....

"There are people crossing the river on that tributary, but it's not an ordinary person, it's a troop that is crossing the river from north to south......

Someone immediately asked a rhetorical question:

"The tributary in front of you is the Ohio River, Hebei is Canada, Henan is the United States, the troops crossing the river is an invasion, this is a direct crossing!"

"The imperial court has always reminded us to pay attention to the war, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon, what should we do now?"

The petty officer on the ship, having figured out what was happening, immediately shouted loudly:

"All of them, all of them have their guns, ready for battle, and can fire at my command.

"The main channel of the Honey River belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and if Xiyi breaks into this river without permission, we can open fire directly.

"Let the ship sail on the west coast, find a suitable place as soon as possible, land on the shore, and report to the rear by radio."

The soldiers on board and the adult males among the migrants immediately agreed, removing their rifles from their backs.

The older teenage children and women also took out their pistols.

Ordinary two countries are at war, and they don't dare to take the initiative to hurt the surrounding Ming people, because that will cause trouble for their country.

However, if it is a rout and deserter coming down from the battlefield, then there are no rules to talk about.

They can do anything, so it's best to take your own weapons and defend yourself.

These boatloads of immigrants and soldiers soon landed on the west bank of the Honey River.

Anchor the ship on the shore and report to the rear stronghold while setting up a tent to live in.

Along the main course of the Honey River, every two hundred kilometers, there is a large-scale camp ready to build a city along the river.

Every fifty kilometres, there are small camps, ready to be used as villages and settlements of the future.

However, since the Mihe River is currently in the state of a wild and large Yellow River, both sides of the river are full of tidal flats.

None of these settlements are located next to the river.

Enough distance was left to choose a place that was relatively high and absolutely safe even during the flood season.

This flotilla is also a small detachment that is going up the river and preparing to build new settlements.

Behind them, there was already a row of large and small gathering points.

Newer settlements have at least radio equipment, and earlier settlements are already laying cables.

From last year to the present, the Ming Dynasty has been arming immigrants and increasing troops from the three directions of South Yinzhou, the mainland, and the western part of North Yinzhou, to the central and eastern regions of North Yinzhou.

In the narrow area on the west bank of the lower reaches of the Honey River, as well as the settlements near the estuary, plus the Texas area, there are now nearly 200,000 immigrants and more than 100,000 tuntian soldiers.

The entire Florida region, plus the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico east of the Honey River, has nearly 200,000 immigrants and 100,000 tuntian soldiers.

The Ming continued to increase troops here, and had already warned Britain, France and the United States in advance, so although they felt the pressure, they didn't say anything.

Now that both the United States and Canada are in rebellion, it just shows that the Ming Dynasty was prescient.

The news of the discovery of the Canadian troops crossing the Ohio River by a team of immigrants and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was radioed south along the settlements on the west bank of the River. ….

Finally, it was relayed through a wired cable, all the way to the southernmost city of New Orleans, and then transferred to the Old World through an undersea cable, and then to the Ming Dynasty.

When the relevant news was passed through in the Ming Dynasty and copied to Zhu Jingyuan again, it was already five days later.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at this news and was slightly surprised.

Instead of attacking Virginia south along the coast, Napoleon attacked Kentucky after a western circumference.

If the eight southern states of the United States are not prepared, the area west of the Appalachian Mountains, including Kentucky and Tennessee, could be lost in one wave.

Considering the situation in Yin Zhou, Zhu Jingyuan began to worry a little.

The militias in the eight southern states of the United States are really just militias.

Because historically, the United States had not been able to form a large-scale regular army.

In order to fight against the Yin people, they gave guns to the immigrants and let them protect themselves, so there was a militia.

Many of them have not received complete military training, and their military qualities and abilities vary greatly, and their discipline is very poor.

The level of officers is uneven, and the command, establishment, and logistics systems of the militia in different regions are mixed.

Their nature is close to that of a guerrilla army, and their combat forms are flexible and changeable, and they can bring their own supplies, but it is difficult to fight on the frontal battlefield.

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

time, which can be downloaded here]

The frontal battlefield was fought by the French with the US Continental Army.

Historically, the American Revolutionary War was part of the Caribbean-North American War.

It was the British against the French, the Spaniards, the Dutch, and the Americans.

The Americans received the full support of the French in both the naval and land theaters, in terms of weapons and equipment, sea transportation, and operational command, and the French sent troops to the North American continent to fight directly.

France and Spain are not selling their heads to the United States for no reason, but to seize the islands of the Caribbean and Florida.

At the same time, Lucia joined forces with Prussia, Austria, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and other countries to form an alliance to break the British naval blockade.

Almost all of Europe used the opportunity of the American Revolutionary War to oppose Britain overtly or covertly.

This is actually a potential reaction ally.

In this case, Britain saw that there was nothing to do, so they admitted to surrender.

Eventually, the United States gained its independence, not only from the original thirteen states, but also from all the lands east of the Mississippi River.

Spain traded the Bahamas for all of Florida, the Netherlands for Ceylon, and France for Tobago in the Caribbean and Senegal in the northwest.

The militia of this world, which is weaker than in history, did not have the American Revolutionary War to train them.

The battle plan personally formulated by Napoleon, the strongest military commander in Europe, and the top generals who were personally trained and trained.

Commanding the elite soldiers drawn from the battlefield of the world war to fight the militia of the eight southern states of the United States is abuse.

Britain and France had to remobilize and send their soldiers to Yinzhou, a process that would take two or three months. ….

Zhu Jingyuan was very worried that Napoleon would be able to directly sweep the entire United States in two or three months.

He was even worried that Napoleon would not be carried away by the victory and come again to attack and seize the colonies of the Ming Dynasty.

It's unlikely, but it's not unguarded.

A man like Napoleon could not directly control or accurately predict his actions.

Zhu Jingyuan basically didn't think much about it, so he directly ordered his staff:

"Send news to England and France that Napoleon's troops have crossed the Ohio River from western America.

"Kentucky and Tennessee may be gone, tell the militias of the eight southern states to fortify the Appalachian Mountains.

"As an extra reminder, let their native troops hurry up or their colonies will be gone."

Zhu Jingyuan asked people to send messages to Britain and France to remind and ridicule that Napoleon's troops had already begun to conquer the city.

Napoleon's generals, Massena and Sirte, had already entered Kentucky and Tennessee with a troop each.

Masséna and Sirte were also French generals who rose to prominence in the world wars.

Together with the original 100,000 French main army, he was transferred to Yinzhou to accept Napoleon's command.

They were all impressed by Napoleon's great ability and charisma, and they also began to fight for the bright future of marshals, dukes, and governors.

The garrison militia of the Eight-State Union of the United States of America did not expect that Napoleon's French soldiers would cross the Ohio River during flood season.

The weather in the Great Plains is unpredictable in spring, with frequent cold spells and harsh conditions in the wild.

In addition, the two sides did not start an actual battle, and they should still be in the process of throwing harsh words at each other, but they did not expect that Napoleon would have prepared an offensive plan long ago.

So much so that on the banks of the river, which served as the border between Canada and the United States, there are not too many soldiers stationed and patrolling now.

At the same time, because the south is mainly an agricultural area, there is not enough weaponry, equipment and materials to build a complex defensive line.

The southern militia was already poorly trained and did not have a perfect defense system to support, and soon continued to retreat under the attack.
