Some small, powerless Indians can be completely ignored. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But some powerful Indian tribes - or rather, the Indian tribal confederation had the power to change the tide of the war - which was somewhat different from the "war of independence" that William remembers. Or rather, it's very different -- that these Indians are much stronger.

If there is one of the strongest groups of Indians, they are undoubtedly Iroquois. The Iroquois people who occupy the Great Lakes region have hundreds of villages, tribes, and vast tracts of land, pastures, and corn farms. They were a little better organized than the average Indian tribe, and were "upgraded" from the tribe to the level of the tribal federation.

There were twenty of the most central tribes, and the others were more scattered, preferring "alliances" to alliances.

As every Iroquois chief said, they could gather 10,000 heavily armed Iroquois warriors in the shortest possible time if he wanted to. Armed with tomahawks, muskets, and bows, these soldiers are currently at the service of Her Majesty.

Victoria paid her wages and remuneration with grain, cloth, and salt in exchange for an alliance with the Iroquois. Currently, she has more than 2,000 Iroquois warriors under her command to help them. These soldiers usually serve as scouts and skirmishers. Use the hunting and tracking skills they have honed in the jungles and snowfields to help the Briton army, who know no roads and live on both land and land.

Victoria currently has a plan. She hoped to be able to arm two regiments, or more regular Iroquois troops. to fill the shortfall of her forces, which Victoria felt were not enough, even though her army had exceeded 40,000 men.

Then, in the southern part of the Thirteen State Colonies, there were only a few small and medium-sized Indian tribes that were very lucky. But what intrigued William was that these tribes had a large number of excellent horses, as well as riders.

The blood of these people's war horses came from Asturias. The warmbloods there are very famous even in the old world. In these few hundred years, the Indians have already appeared in many tribes and began to be nomadic. These nomadic Indians, if concentrated, would have been enough to form a formidable light cavalry force.

"And that's exactly what I wanted. William said to Elise and to Charlumie, "Our cavalry is inadequate—yes, very sorry. If it were an infantry unit, we could have figured out a way to get on with our Gothic immigrants - muskets, and then superlong guns. You know, our Count Rochambeau has supported us with a lot of weaponry. I intend to use these things to form four old infantry regiments as a supplement to our army.

But the problem is cavalry. It is a pity that the number of immigrants who were able to serve as cavalrymen was not too large. To make matters worse, we don't have enough horses. “

"Yes, the great Queen wrote to you with a good compliment, and then gave you nothing. Including the war horses that were said before, there are other things. Elise snorted softly, and then said.

"So, Elise, can we stop talking about this?" William had been a little upset lately. The main reason is that I don't know when, Irisse will take up this problem and complain to William.

"Maybe I should find an opportunity to teach this little girl a lesson, so that she knows who is the boss in this family. William couldn't help but have this thought in his heart, and then continued:

"I have sent messengers to any Indian tribe that may be in league with us.

We brought grain, cloth, salt. And, of course, the old muskets that those bastards love. I hope they will be able to provide us with enough cavalry. Of course, it's not giving, it's hiring. As long as the plan is correct, we can get two regiments of cavalry units. In this way, having a new, 8,000-strong force, we can go north and attack Virginia. “

"The chaos in North Carolina hasn't gotten any better?" said this, and Charlumi on the other side asked as if complaining. Of course, even if William didn't answer, she knew the answer.

"Yes, it hasn't gotten better," William replied, "and it's a shame to be honest. I have already made plans to take some coercive measures if the situation does not improve in January next year. “

"We're not saying...... Do you want to be kind to the Gothic immigrants?" asked Charlumie.

"But they didn't think of themselves as Goths. William replied, "Identity is the most important thing. More important than bloodline. ”

"Okay...... Perhaps, you want to sweep North Carolina with Indian light cavalry?" asked Charlumie.

"I'm not ready to be pointed out by a thousand people. So I'm not going to do that. William replied, "I'm just going to move those towns and villages—"

"Moving?" Charlumi still didn't understand. But at the same time, Elise seems to have figured it out.

"Gather those villages together so that they can be managed more easily. At the same time, the guerrillas could not find enough supply points. In this way, they can be cut off. It's a good idea. Elise nodded, and then said:

"Anyway, the colonies of the thirteen states are vast and sparsely populated. Even if you concentrate the population a little, there won't be too many problems...... But I want to ask, Wright, how do we stop those new villages from being infiltrated by the guerrillas?"

"Rewards, as well as punishments. William replied: "Organize those families into groups, and punish all of them if anyone provides assistance to the guerrillas." And if anyone denounces them, they don't go out, but reward them instead. In this way, they can be held accountable to each other. ”

"It's a good idea. Elise was finally convinced.

"However, it is still necessary to continue to promote the Gothic national policy. At the same time, the benefits of each of their plantations still have to be distributed. William said, "One yard to one yard." I don't want a police state where there is a forced smile, high levels of tension and no trust. “

"Maybe we can make a compromise. Elise was noncommittal to William's words: "For there is nothing so cheap in the world, Mr. Wright." “

"We do our best, we improve every day, we get closer to our goal every day, and even if we don't achieve it in the end, we won't achieve nothing. “

"Perhaps. “

And so, in December 1749, William ceased his military operations in the colonies of the Thirteen States. At the same time, his enemy, General Nathanel, was desperately trying to consolidate his army and defenses in Richmond.

The southern battlefield of the Northern Continent War fell silent like this. At the same time, on Christmas Day, Mr. George took advantage of the laxity of the Briton army and launched a counteroffensive. Some of the Briton troops were somewhat eliminated.

However, this was of little use other than to make the Bretons more disgusted, cursing the traitor and the scoundrel. In total, the Christmas Offensive killed less than 1,000 Briton soldiers. This is a drop in the bucket for the Buriton, who has an army of 40,000.

In fact, the losses of the Continental Army amounted to almost a thousand. The losses of both sides were almost equal.

However, there was another result, which was more important than the killing of a thousand Briton soldiers. That is, the Continental Army destroyed a lot of supply depots for the Britons.

This caused heavy losses to the Bretons. In the middle of winter, not having enough supplies can be a terrible thing, and the Britons have to retreat back in order to get supplies faster.

So, at least in terms of propaganda, the Continental Army could mobilize their newspapers, and other printed materials, to claim that they had won a great victory. Although this is not really of much use.

After that, the Continental Army also needs to continue to be reorganized, trained, and regularized. The Britons, on the other hand, are doing their best to fortify their territory. Use the method of killing to make the people here obedient.

This creates an interesting phenomenon. That was the mass migration of the colonists.

Initially, the colonists in the Briton-controlled area wanted to move to territory controlled by the Continental Army. But unfortunately, the territory controlled by the Continental Army is very "flexible". They don't care which piece of land is under their control. So many of the colonists found out the day after they settled down that they had returned to the rule of the Britons.

In this case, some recalcitrant colonists joined the militia of the Continental Army. This is also known as the "one-minute person". There were also weak colonists who succumbed to Her Majesty's tyranny.

Finally, there are a very small number of "very smart" colonists. They learned about the "neo-Gothic" in the South through various channels. and learned that under William's rule, their social status and life safety could be guaranteed.

Under these circumstances, these men quickly moved south, either as a family unit or as a family unit, into the area under the control of the Britons.

Although at present, this phenomenon is not too obvious. But William still noticed him, and was glad to see it happen—one of the things he wanted to see the most. The population of his colonies absorbed all the population of the north...... This in turn led to the decline of the colony of Briton in the north.

In the end, it was the Visigoths. William did not know if their homeland had received news of the crushing defeat of the expeditionary force. And after receiving such news, William did not know what they would do. All in all, these Visigoths are very quiet. They temporarily withdrew from this war of independence on the Northern Continent.
