"What's wrong?" asked William, making himself as gentle as he could. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"We've searched ahead, and the inhabitants of several villages ahead, as well as several Iroquois tribes, are willing to provide us with supplies. ”

"Well, that's a good thing. William nodded: "They have realized that the so-called Continental Army is nothing more than a group of rebels. They won't support them anymore. ”

"Yes, that's it, Your Highness, it's just ......" Hearing William say this, the Cherokee warrior hesitated a little.

"Just what?" asked William, smiling.

"It's just that they don't want to tell the whereabouts of the guerrillas, the so-called Minutemen. Even hesitant to send guides to pursue those main rebel forces. Sergeant Lynx said, "I suspect that they are still disconnected from those men. They still might—"

That's not the point. William interrupted.

"This ...... The subordinates don't understand. Sergeant Bobcat looked confused.

To be honest, the questions asked by Sergeant Lynx have crossed the line a bit. A guy of his level shouldn't have asked a question of this level. However, because this guy is considered a seed talent, William decided to give him a certain amount of preferential treatment. So after he had asked, and after he himself felt that the question he had asked was really abrupt and inappropriate, William replied with a smile:

"The point is, they are obedient. If only they were willing to obey. William smiled and said, "Do you know how many people here belong to a resistance group like the One Minute?" William paused, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he went on to himself:

"A lot, a lot. I even suspect that every young man in every village here has participated in a similar resistance. In addition to this, the so-called Continental Army, the main body that constitutes it is also the local residents, the militia. They are also inextricably linked to the local population.

In this case, it is impossible to separate these villages, the local population from the so-called guerrillas and the Continental Army. If we force them, we will arouse their disgust, and even return to the arms of the enemy those inhabitants who are already inclined towards us, or at least towards neutrality.

It's not worth the cost.

So, we just turn a blind eye a little bit and pretend not to see it. As long as they obediently don't mess with us, we don't care what they do. Wouldn't that be great, we'll all be convenient. ”

"But that's ......," Sergeant Lynx hesitated, but finally did not speak. And William was so pointed, that he had no interest in continuing to talk to him. He waved his hand and motioned for Sergeant Lynx to leave. So, the promising Cherokee cavalry sergeant obediently left.

As for what William did not say, let the Lynx sergeant himself comprehend...... Then it's the reason for the degree of work.

Hereford's White Legion were mercenaries, and they had come to work for people. To make matters worse, the White Army's mercenary money has already been paid. Why do you have to fight to the death in such a situation?

Yes, this so-so will save a lot of vitality from villages and tribes everywhere. Yes, those who participated in the Continental Army and the guerrillas will settle down under the protection of the tribes of the villages. Even now they had changed their uniforms, and then carried their hoes as if nothing had happened, and looked with curiosity at the passing White Legion and the Briton coalition.

But what does that matter to William? Even if these guys survive, even if these guys are as destabilizing as gunpowder, they are all destabilizing factors in the Briton colony. Even if they riot again and organize a continental army again, then the Briton government and Victoria will be the headache.

William won't solve their problems. Rather, William was happy to hear about such things.

That's it, that's it. I don't know how much Sergeant Lynx has realized and how much he has thought of it. But William was picking his subordinates. Although this Bobcat military is more pleasing to the eye, it is enough to point to the end. Now it's up to him to make it to himself. After all, William is not his own father.

So, with the local residents welcoming the king and the pot pulp welcoming the king's division, William's army advanced very quickly. There was not much resistance encountered. Some scattered guerrillas and resistance groups can be handed over to scouts and cavalry troops. It's easy to wipe them out in minutes.

William thus went deep into the interior of the colony, and was about to reach Saratoga.

While William's Central Route Army was advancing smoothly, Victoria's Northern Route Army was advancing at a decent pace.

For the various surrender forces in the local area, William has no heart and does not want to manage it, while Victoria wants to manage it, but does not know how to manage it. She didn't have the time, she didn't have the energy, and she didn't have the effective way to dig out these time bomb bastards.

You can't follow the example of the Hunan Army of the Zeng State Domain, shouting that the stones are too burning and the people are changed, and all these villages and towns are slaughtered. Victoria hadn't gotten mad enough yet.

That's it, reluctantly, tacitly. Victoria can only use a gentle posture to make these bastards relax a little. At the same time, they were promised that the kingdom's policy towards the colonies would become more moderate in the future.

But of course, Victoria also knew that mildness and anything didn't work at all. The first was the economic factor, the second was the economic factor, and the third was the economic factor. As long as the Kingdom of Briton could not come up with an effective economic policy to perfectly integrate the colony into its economic system, but still treat it as a "colonial" policy as before, then the next round of rebellion was only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Victoria was very curious about William's colonial policy.

It is indeed a good idea to nationalize the plantations and then distribute the shares to the surrounding farms and residents. Although it is slightly shocking. But it's a good idea.

The problem is the marketing of cotton plantations.

With so many things planted, it is only natural that they should be sold. Victoria felt very uncomfortable at the thought that William had a vast cotton raw material in his hands.

Because the hegemony of the Breton people in the textile industry is based on wool textiles.

"So, maybe it's going to be an enemy in the future. Victoria thought to herself.

William had to solve the economic problems of the Neo-Gothic colony, so William had to find a market for his vast cotton fields.

William was bound to lean towards the cotton textile industry.

Therefore, William inevitably had a fierce conflict with the elite wool textile industry, and Briton, which regarded the wool textile industry as the foundation of the state.

The seeds of the plague have been planted, just waiting for them to take root and sprout in the future.

And William and Victoria, of course, have such preparations. correct

So, the time advanced to September. Saratoga has been reduced to a living hell.

Now, even the most optimistic bastards don't think they'll be spared. The people stationed in Saratoga now knew that they would soon have an army of 50,000 and one of the best commanders in the world to deal with them.

Maybe those soldiers, junior officers, or something can still have a way to live. But those middle and upper classes, especially the representatives of the various colonial states, those big people, will definitely not survive.

For the sake of the kingdom's face, Victoria announced their fate early in the morning. These guys will be divided by hanging for treason.

After learning the news, the vast majority of the Continental Army and the top of the Continental Council collapsed.

These guys are desperately thinking about how to survive. But I can't think of it anyway.

Now, their subordinates no longer obey their orders, they can't get the support of the local population, and they have no other bargaining chips to bargain with William and Victoria.

That is, these guys are going to die soon. Now these guys are just waiting to die.

Despair, despair, despair.

Despair is followed by madness.

These guys, who are usually full of benevolence and morality, well-dressed and self-proclaimed gentlemen, have done more than any villain when the end is near...... All the evil, all the evil deeds of the ******, the ugly side of the human soul is completely exposed.

For specifics, what they did, is not described here in specifics. Interested students can check the information on their own. For example, on the eve of the destruction of the Third Reich, what did the Nazi officers in the bomb shelters do? Or what happened on the Japanese archipelago on the eve of destruction. Or something like that......

All in all, they're finished, they're ruined. Whether it's soul or spirit, fame or whatever, it's all gone. These guys are all living walking dead now, of no use at all - I mean, they're of no use to William and Victoria.

And so, the army marched into Saratoga.

As if William had hoped, the army did not encounter much resistance when it entered the Saratoga area, although the Continental Army had built very strong forts on the perimeter, and in the city of Saratoga, a large number of houses had been requisitioned, and a large number of barricades had been built. Stuff the whole city. But it still didn't work.

Because they couldn't find a group of soldiers who could do everything in their power to protect him.
