At the end of 1749, William's White Army easily annexed North Carolina. The resistance encountered along the way www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion was very weak. The commander of the Continental Army's Southern Army, General Nathanel, did not seem to want to fight the White Army, which was at its peak. He withdrew more than 7,000 regular troops at his disposal, as well as more than 1,000 French volunteers from France, led by the Count of Lafayette, to Virginia. and deployed defenses in the southern town of Richmond.

Of course, even in Richmond, in fact, the general did not want to defend too much.

He wrote to Mr. George, the commander of the Continental Army in the North, of all this: "We are short of artillery, and Richmond is not strong. Virginia has no danger to garrison. Our strength is also only equal to that of the other side. In this case, it is difficult for me to imagine that we will be able to win this war. After all, my opponent, His Royal Highness the Prince, has hundreds of artillery pieces in his hands. They could easily tear up all of Richmond's fortifications, the dirt heaped by the poor soldiers, the felled wood, or anything else.

To be honest, I feel like I should get out of here now. According to my plan, we should now cross the Potomac and then lay out defenses on the north bank of the river...... In fact, the river also had a hard time stopping the terrible warrior and his army. I can only pin my hopes on the harsh winter, the lack of logistical supplies, and those 'one-minute people'. But I don't know what the role of these big-talking, loose, undisciplined militiamen will play.

Well, delay the time, they only need to delay the prince for part of the time, thank God.

However, it was a great pity that I could not leave. Because I have a hunch that if I leave Virginia, the heart of our new republic, we will never be able to take him back.

Our opponents are not the same as those Bretun guys. In addition to being a gifted strategist and commander, he was also a very good ruler. Through violence and plunder, he bought off all the people under his rule and drove all the other propertied people into the abyss. This gave the reputation of His Royal Highness the prince a great blow. Almost every gentleman I met would complain to me from the bottom of his heart that he was a robber, a thief, and a murderer. They completely abandoned the respect they deserved for the royal family and insulted him and his family in the most rude language.

My self-esteem, and my cultivation, make it impossible for me to say this, but I think you know what I mean. Because there must be similar characters around you.

However, it has to be said that his approach was very successful. By expropriating the property of the propertied people. He had a firm grip on ninety-five percent of the population of the three southern states. My spies reported to me that His Royal Highness the Prince was planning to recruit an army from several southern states. If this is done, it will be an absolute disaster for the nascent republic.

So, I must never leave Virginia. Not even a single step. I gathered all my troops, and hoped that our mutual friend, Count Raphael, and his allies, would be able to bring more volunteers from the Old World.

My plan was to concentrate 20,000 troops in Virginia. If possible, it would be better to ask our generous friend, His Majesty King Louis XVI, to send an expeditionary force of sufficient numbers.

If we can gather 30,000 troops in Virginia, I can be sure of holding this vital state. If we have an army of 50,000, we will be able to defeat this formidable enemy.

Believe it or not, my friend, I would say that this unusual, talented, genius Prince His Royal Highness is an enemy that must be taken seriously. I want everyone in the Republic to raise the level of concern for him, and see him as an enemy of the same level as the Bretons.

That's it, my friend, and I sincerely hope to have your help and blessings. I hope you will use your influence in the Continental Congress to secure the much-needed help for those of us who remain in Virginia.

If we don't have enough help, then we can't hold Virginia. And if we lose Virginia, then we will be giving up more than 300,000 people to His Royal Highness. Plus Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey, which are adjacent to Virginia. We're going to lose to half a million of them.

These men, having taken possession of the riches that the prince had promised them, the things which had been plundered from the high gentlemen, would also completely forget the glory of the Republic, and the meaning of liberty, and become traitors to our great cause, just as the people of the South are now.

When that time comes, we will regret it. Because a million people have gathered around him. He was able to organize an army of at least twenty thousand men from these people. And cooperate with those British to completely strangle the entire republic. This is the most tragic end that none of us want to see. “

In this way, General Nathanel wrote the letter, and then handed him to his most trusted herald, asking him to deliver it to General George as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, due to the ever-changing tide of the war, even Nathanel did not know where General George was at the moment. Therefore, it is worth noting when the herald will find him, or even whether he can find him.

For these, General Nathanel has nothing to do. He could only comfort the herald and tell him to do his best.

After finishing his business, General Nathanel left his room and entered the conference room. He asked everyone who might know the answer to the matter, asking them where William's White Army had gone at the moment. After getting "They still have no intention of going north." Their troops were concentrated in the Guilford area. After the news, General Nathanel finally breathed a sigh of relief. And think that their militia tactics have more or less had some effect.

Yes, the general has a noble charisma. At the same time, North Carolina was closer to the heart of what is now the Republic. The people here are more loyal and more stubborn than the people of South Carolina and Georgia. So in a short period of time, William had no way to generalize his policies, his tactics and his ideals to these places.

As the army walked through the North Carolina area, it was often harassed by small groups of militia. Even though these guys don't do a lot of damage, it's a headache to keep going like this.

So, William decided to pause for a while, stabilize the order in North Carolina, and then look for an opportunity to go north and attack Virginia.

Of course, this process hopefully won't be long. Virginia, and Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware north of Virginia. These were the best areas of the Thirteen State Colonies. If these places are not coveted, it is absolutely false. Just can't be in a hurry. There must be no rush.

William set himself a time limit of two years. It was hoped that the entire Thirteen State Colonies would be bulldozed in two years' time. It's only been two months now. There's still plenty of time. And, in this spare time, William hopes to be able to do something else. For example, find some new allies for yourself in the Northern Continent.

Take the Indians, for example.

In the hundreds of years since the colonists entered the New World, the Indians have undergone more changes than they had in the millennia before them.

Today, the vast majority of colonists are still on the eastern seaboard, cut off by the Appalachian Mountains from the interior of the New World. Although the Indians along the coast of the New World suffered heavy losses, they were less than one-tenth the number of Indians in the entire New World.

In the vast, inhospitable land, there are tens of millions, if not more, of Indians. The hunters, avengers, best nomadic cavalry, archers, and skirmishers of these tribes, if truly united, could easily defeat all the Old World colonists in the New World. Whether it was William, or the Bretons, or the American Republic, which felt that it was the true master of the New World.

It's just a pity. They can't. The excessively backward productive forces, the excessively backward social relations, and the excessively backward forms of organization have made it almost impossible for them to raise an army of more than 5,000 men. And west of the Appalachian Mountains, many Indians didn't even know about the colonists of the Old World.

However, there are still opportunities, there are still opportunities, or rather, there are still places for William to take advantage of.

In the sparsely populated colonies of the Thirteen States, there were still a number of indigenous Indian tribes. And on the Appalachian Hills, there are even more people. There is even a rumor that there is uncertainty about whether it is true that there are more Indians living in the colonies of the Thirteen States than there are colonists.

Prior to this, the vast majority of these Indian tribes had suffered from the losses of the colonists. They signed treaties with the colonial government, or became partners with the colonists, or simply turned to the colonists, becoming alternative mercenaries or servants.

After the colonists declared their uprising, the Indian tribes split into two groups, some of which chose neutrality – in fact, the choice of the vast majority of indigenous tribes.

But there are some people who don't seem to think so.

More "active" and more "belligerent" indigenous tribes joined the war. Either they took refuge with the Britons or became allies of the Continental Army. And played a big role in the war that followed.
