291. Chapter 291: "Liberation" Charleston

In this way, under the circumstances that William did not expect, the colonies of the New World in Visigothic quickly took action. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info They picked up Count Rochambeau in the fastest time. It was only after this that the successor commander replied to William with a letter of "refusal to surrender".

This surprised William: "Before that, he was still the commander-in-chief of this army - even if he had lost the allegiance of all his subordinates. It seems that the internal tilting of the Visigothic kingdom is even more powerful than we think. ”

"This kingdom has been through thousands of years of ups and downs, and the current royal family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years. Elise shook her head and said something that sounded like a bit of an answer.

"Yes. William didn't dwell too much on this matter: "Then whatever, a golden lily military flag is enough for me to show off for a while...... The man who reported the victory to Her Majesty the Queen has been gone for a while. I don't know, can I bring what I want. ”

"What do you want, let the queen canonize you as a knight?" said William, and Elise felt a little uncomfortable.

"Whatever. William shook his head and decided not to continue the discussion with Elise on the subject.

"So what should we do next?" said Charlumie, who was only puzzled by what they said, "Attack Charleston?" But let's not forget that there is still a part of their naval forces here. I think they can send at least two thousand sailors to the battle. If we add up to the fact that they carry the guns down and participate in the defense of the city, then we are in big trouble. ”

"It doesn't make sense. William shook his head: "If I were their commander, what I would do now would be to transport all the valuable things in Charleston, as well as all the troops, in the shortest possible time." The city was completely isolated, it did not have any strategic importance for the Visigoths. All they need to do now is get rid of it.

Let's wait. Wait a little longer, and we can take the city without bloodshed. ”

What happened next was just as William had predicted. Within a few days, several thousand remnants of the Visigoths retreated along with the Visigothic fleet.

Either they were to retreat to Louisiana, west of the Appalachian Mountains, or to the Caribbean Islands colonies. Anyway, it wasn't William's thing to worry about - it was his allies who were to worry about it now - it was a navy. If they want to find a target, they will definitely find trouble with the Britons, who are also in the navy.

In other words, the responsibility for the elimination of the Visigothic navy belongs to Her Majesty the Queen, and has little to do with William. Although he still has a naval fleet in the south that is barely decent in quantity and quality.

And so, after the Visigoths retreated, Charleston once again fell into the hands of the Hereford family. People in Charleston are not surprised by this. In just one month, they have changed owners three times in a row. Humans are very adaptable, and they have already begun, gradually getting used to it.

In contrast, there are others scattered throughout South Carolina.

Other "Goths".

The results of the Battle of the Coastal Plains of South Carolina spread in the shortest possible time through the territory controlled by William. From Charleston to Savannah. All the goths were "inspired".

War, victory, show your strength.

After using the national consciousness of the Goths to make them accept the legal principles of their own rule, and using the interests of various cotton plantations, these people began to identify with their rule. In the end, the victory in this battle showed that the new Gothic ruler had the strength and ability to protect his people from harm.

In this way, when William went out to inspect the villages and towns, he could clearly feel that the people here looked at him differently, and looked at the White Army. William's hard work was not in vain. These people finally truly approved of William's neo-Gothic plan and considered themselves part of the neo-Gothic colony.

"Finally. ”

After understanding this, William finally breathed a sigh of relief.

South Carolina and Georgia in the south have a population of more than 300,000. After screening and selecting those "non-goths", those who died because of several battles and other reasons. William's rule still had a population of at least 250,000 or more.

These people basically supported William's rule and basically recognized William's existence. These men were willing to pay a portion of the taxes to William. At the same time, he was willing to participate in William's White Army after William gave benefits, full military pay, and some other promises of promotion and wealth.

These 250,000 people will become William's backing. With the support of these people, William and his white army will no longer be a source of water and a tree without roots in this new, vast and desolate land.

William had his own foundation, his own rear, his own foundation.

This incident was even more pleasing than William's defeat of the Visigothic expeditionary force of 20,000.

Of course, the only people who can really be happy about these things are William and the people on his side. And as for the rest...... For example, his ally, the "Queen Majesty", she may not have a good opinion on this matter as well as William.

In December of 1749, when the entire northern part of the Thirteen State colonies was covered with snow, William's "emissary" arrived in Boston. He brought not only the official documents of William's return for the victory, but also William's request for formal access to Georgia and South Carolina, the transfer documents of the colony, and William's request for some mercenary support and various material support.

In fact, Victoria knew the news before the messenger arrived.

She and her brains were all amazed and incredulous. After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, they began to discuss the matter.

"It's unbelievable. This is Victoria's biggest comment on the matter. Yes, it's very unbelievable. That genius of the Hereford family won an incredible victory. In contrast, Victoria's army is still entangled in this quagmire battlefield.

It's really embarrassing.

Originally, at the beginning, Victoria felt that William would suffer heavy losses and that the battle would be stalemate.

The 20,000 Visigothic expeditionary force was somewhat stronger than William in terms of overall strength. But Willian is by no means an easy opponent to deal with. Most of them will be ping-pong in the colonial south. Then, it should be William who will win in the end. Until then, Georgia and South Carolina will be beaten to shreds.

Victoria is just right to discuss a "new" cooperation plan with William.

Or William just took two pieces and walked away from the beaten colony. Or maybe they will come up with a new army and throw it into the New World, anyway. In short, they don't have so many benefits to eat so easily.

However, the outcome of the matter surprised Victoria.

William won easily.

And the White Corps did little damage.

The Visigothic expeditionary force was almost completely annihilated. The remnants of the defeated army were carried away. But their armament, heavy equipment is all gone. Their morale was low, and the commanders disappeared without a trace. In this case, it simply cannot be the climate.

William's army could continue to attack North Carolina north. Then there was Virginia, two colonial states with little Continental Army presence. With his skill, ability, and policy, he can easily swallow these two pieces of territory. In this way, the entire southern essence region was all in his hands.

That's how he is, invincible. If he had been more ruthless and insidious, he would have said that the army had stopped at the colonial demarcation line that had been agreed upon. Then sit back and watch the colony north, where the Continental Army and the Briton Expeditionary Force fought bloodied. Save your own strength.

And if Victoria wants to continue to use his strong army, he can take the opportunity to make new terms and extort a sum of money from her.

With Victoria's understanding of William, she felt that William would definitely do such a thing.

"That bastard......"

Thinking of this, Victoria itched the roots of her teeth. She almost gritted her teeth at the thought of it. At the same time, he was thinking about what he should do to drag his too capable teammate back.

-- Of course, we can't go into too much detail about this. On the surface, he and William still have to be the model of the friendliest and most friendly allies in the world. In the shortest possible time, he would write an enthusiastic but useless letter, and then sing praises to William.

And as for what William wants......

I'm sorry, but in terms of military affairs, the front on my side is also very tight, so let William figure it out by himself. And in terms of materials...... Recently, our shipping routes have been attacked by official Visigothic privateers, so there are some difficulties in supplying supplies.

All in all, in one sentence. William wanted nothing from her. Isn't he very good at fighting? Then let him figure it out for himself.

That's pretty much it, that's Victoria's full plan for William. It's very dark and it's very unfriendly.

But of course, all of this was all within William's calculations. The letter to Victoria was just a matter of routine, and he had no intention of getting anything from her in the first place. Moreover, he has always been on his own.
