The French governor Carrot has been anxious lately, and he has always felt uneasy since his relationship with the Yanhuang Trading Company. It's like grass grows in my heart.,It's itching all the time.,All the entertainment activities that I used to like to kill time are gone.。 Even, lately, he began to have nightmares, he always dreamed that he was defeated by the British and the company, and that a group of vicious warriors stormed his governor's palace, pulled him out of bed, and sent him to the gallows.

On this day, Carrot also stayed up for a long time before he fell asleep because he was really tired. In his sleep, he began to sink into that terrible nightmare. However, at this time, the silence of the city, which had been silent, was suddenly broken by the sound of rapid horses' hooves. The city gate was suddenly opened, and a cavalry-like man passed through the gate at full speed without slowing down at all. The sound of horses' hooves woke up all the people who were asleep around the road, and each of them complained a few times, then turned over and went back to sleep.

However, the people in the Doge's Palace could not sleep. The cavalry ran to the governor's palace as fast as they could, and the janitor of the governor's palace came out, and the cavalry directly pounced and fell to the ground. And the horse has actually died. The janitor felt that he had picked up the cavalry and asked him what was the matter, but the cavalry only said that there was an urgent military situation to inform the governor of Carrot, and that they should call the governor up immediately. However, at this time, the Governor, who had recently suffered from insomnia, had just fallen asleep, and who dared to disturb him.

Originally, the majesty of the Governor was not something that they could offend, and recently the Governor had suffered from insomnia, and the subordinates who dared to disturb him before were still lying in bed and unable to get up. But the cavalry did not say what was going on, and kept clamoring to see the governor. The servants had no choice but to ask Carrot's henchman to come. Although the chief butler is also rigid, at least he is not cruel at all, as long as it is a serious matter, they have no problem.

As soon as the old butler arrived, he did not know what he had said, but the cavalry was persuaded to tell what he called an urgent military situation. Who would have thought that when the old butler heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and without saying a word, he broke into Carrot's bedroom directly and woke up Carrot, who had just fallen asleep. Carrot was about to get angry, but the old butler whispered a few words in his ear and immediately put out the fire. Then, sitting up at great speed, he asked the old butler to help him get dressed. At the same time, the Doge's Palace sent seven clever servants to the residences of all the middle and high-ranking officers in the city who had not gone on the expedition.

The cavalry brought back the terrible news, and on March 17, 1722, the Yanhuang Trading Company officially declared war on the French. Because the French did not have an office in the company, the declaration of war was fired by the warriors of the night stalkers with composite crossbows onto the walls of a town in the rear. Before the townspeople could report the news, the company began a terrible shelling of the three forts they had built on the border and the more than 20,000 soldiers inside.

The French have information about the heavy howitzers in the hands of the company, and if they don't find out, the people below will think that there is a god behind the company, and it was the god who gave them that terrible weapon. However, the power of the artillery that had been scattered before did not reach this level, and the three fortresses were all shattered. Even if the city wall is only one side and not complete, it shouldn't be destroyed by a single shelling.

But that's just the way it is. When the French received the news and sent people to the three forts to support, they found that this place had fallen into the hands of the Yanhuang Trading Company. The company's men had already placed machine guns on the other side of the normal city wall, and the reinforcements rushed twice, only to be fired back by crossfire from the machine guns. Because they were providing emergency support, they did not bring any heavy artillery, and the few small cannons they had were knocked out by the fighters of the field division with mortars.

There was no way, the reinforcements had to go back. Relying on the town to build fortifications again, it's just that these people are extremely worried. More than 20,000 troops, how much manpower and material resources were spent to build the fortress wall, all of which were destroyed by the company in one day, not to mention the wooden ones under their feet now, or the broken city walls with wood inside and stones and mud on the outside. They didn't expect that in this battle, basically all the blasting shells have been consumed, and if they want to continue to make these heavy howitzers powerful, they can only wait for next month.

Originally, the French only had about 60,000 troops in their hands, but now 30,000 were dragged in the British colony by Lin Xin using the British aristocratic private army. There were still 30,000 people in the territory, which was originally very sufficient, but this time, in this battle, nearly 25,000 people were directly lost. The rest are just over 5,000 people. Of course, this is the Army. There were still quite a few men in the navy, and the navy of this era, except for the necessary sailors, had this sufficient number of warriors on every ship, mainly for broadside warfare.

Moreover, sailors, armed with muskets, could also act as army soldiers. It is this combat effectiveness that is not comparable to that of real army soldiers. Together with the naval forces, they still have 50 large and small warships and more than 12,000 troops. However, this little power, as long as the people of the Yanhuang Trading Company are not close to the coast, they can't resist it at all. Therefore, the frightened front-line officers immediately sent someone back to Carrot to bring back the bad news.

Carrot was so shocked by the news that he didn't feel sleepy, and all the officers who remained in the rear were called over by him and met at the governor's palace overnight to discuss. Seeing this news, these officers also immediately fell silent. Carrot didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw several officers' legs tremble. Now, this is not the time to be afraid, and if you don't take measures, it will be miserable. Carrot didn't want her dream to become a reality step by step.

"Okay, let's talk, what the hell should I do now. ”

"Who knows what to do now, I didn't agree to send 30,000 men to kill the British first, if those 30,000 people were still there, why did they end up to this point. ”

"Kakarot, what do you mean, you didn't say it when you voted at the beginning, and now you come to make an afterthought, you want to find trouble, right?"

"Why, it's hard to say, what are you arrogant about a country nobleman, Samor?"

"You!"

"Smack!"

"Alright, now is not the time for infighting. The 30,000 troops in the British colonies must now be brought back as soon as possible. The strength of this Yanhuang Trading Company is too terrifying, and it has no numerical advantage, so it really can't be stopped. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor, I suggest that a fleet be dispatched and bring them back by water. Also, it is necessary to get the people in the military factories to work overtime to produce weapons at once, and then recruit civilians to form enough militia units again. ”

"Otherwise, let's all go to the coastal city, with the cover of the fleet, at least it should be absolutely safe there. ”

"Now is not the time, if you retreat like this, the morale will be completely lost. ”

The French had only this way, having already lost 20,000 troops, and it was no longer possible to defeat the British first and then fight against the company. The only way to do this was to draw the army back and take advantage of the colony's topography for defense. Then, using the population of the colony to form a militia of 10,000 or 20,000, this war still has to be fought. And the British, after receiving the news, almost had to have a celebration. It was still Lin Xin, who forcibly suppressed them on the grounds that the French here had not been annihilated.

Lin Xin was naturally happy, but now was the time to really test him. If these 30,000 troops are to return to the French colony, then the company must hurry. Hurry up and occupy enough territory, if you let these people go back, then if you want to occupy enough territory, it will be very expensive. However, there are drawbacks to this. Because if you suddenly expand too quickly, your rule will be very unstable.

At this time, the French were in much better condition than the British, because they were not at war with the company all the time, and the French had no problems with their economic development, and they had always been very healthy. Although the British came in later, they were driven out in time without causing much damage. Later, he attacked the British colonies twice, looted a lot of property, and all the military funds were very sufficient. Naturally, the civilians were not squeezed too hard.

Therefore, these French immigrants did not have great resentment towards the rulers of Carrot. Judging from the company's statistics in recent years, the population of all resources to join the company, the French have only a few points, less than one percent of the British. If you attack too quickly, if you can't keep it, some people will not accept the rule of the company, and then pick up the French to resist. Even, when the French army came over, the inside and outside should be combined, causing huge casualties to the company.

Lin Xin must now muster up the spirit of 120,000 points and use the little strength in his hand to trap these 30,000 French regular troops here. Only in this way can the company gradually manage all the occupied territory like an iron bucket. Lin Xin had been thinking about it, thinking about what means the French had to bring these troops out. With Lin Xin's wisdom, he has long gotten rid of the Qing Dynasty's idea of not attaching importance to the navy, and after thinking about it, he wants to bring 30,000 troops, and only a large-scale fleet has this ability.

However, the company now does not even have a port to go to sea, let alone the fleet. Those people in Ijik are the company's naval power. However, how could just a few ships be able to beat the French Grand Fleet. So, at this time, it was necessary to let the British fleet go out. The fleet of the British, which has not appeared recently, is still due to some reasons of struggle. After all, in the navy before, many people had taken refuge in Charlie.
