- I want to have a child, you have to cooperate with me.
Little Emma¡¯s words made Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart beat faster, but he soon calmed down. Zhao Hongyu didn't take the little girl's words to heart at all.
"If Emma is older in a few years, Zhao Hongyu can still cooperate, but for now let's forget it.
Zhao Hongyu coaxed Emma and finally coaxed Emma to stop talking about this topic, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
After coaxing Emma, ??Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan continued to chat.
¡°And when Emma saw that Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t even talk to her about having children, this made her a little helpless and discouraged.
But now that the man has started talking about serious things, as a woman, it¡¯s really hard for her to interrupt at this time.
Therefore, little Emma now just pouted, sat on Zhao Hongyu's lap with a helpless expression, and leaned diagonally in Zhao Hongyu's arms.
¡°After things here are over, I need to ask my mother when I return to Manhattan. I was such a fool before and should learn more from my mother how to communicate with men.
Emma thought with some regret in her heart.
When her mother tried to teach her, Emma always didn't want to learn.
Now she feels a little regretful. She should have studied more if she had known earlier.
Emma, ??who was curled up like a kitten in Zhao Hongyu's arms, looked at the two people chatting with twinkling eyes.
"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to build a city structure and then get more soldiers from your hometown. But have you considered what will the Iroquois think if we have an overpopulation here?"
Because Emma was by Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side, Wang Shan did not say the word ¡®gene person¡¯. He was careful, and he also said a somewhat obscure word "hometown".
From what Emma heard, Wang Shan must be talking about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s hometown in the north.
And only Zhao Hongyu himself knew what the ¡®hometown¡¯ in Wang Shankou was.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Hongyu said: "You mean, if we have too many people here, the Iroquois will easily develop a threatening mentality, which will lead to conflicts with us?"
At the same time, he was also thinking secretly in his heart.
Does Wang Shan make sense in saying this?
This makes sense in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s opinion.
"Zhao Hongyu and the others are not too many here now. There are only five or six hundred people. This is not dangerous in the eyes of the Iroquois."
Therefore, the Iroquois should be able to easily accept them to stay and carry out trade with them.
Because they are nothing in the eyes of the Iroquois, and if they pose a threat to the Iroquois, they can be easily dealt with.
It can be said that their threat is not great.
Therefore, keeping them in their own territory is not a big deal.
??Every human being has such an idea in his psychology.
But if Zhao Hongyu and the others are large in number and each one is well-equipped, it would be hard to say.
What will the Iroquois think then?
"You said that there are so many of you, so well-equipped with weapons, that you suddenly came to our territory and refused to leave. You also said that you want to carry out trade. Only a ghost can believe it.
Therefore, conflicts will definitely arise when the time comes.
You can think of this even if you think about it with your buttocks.
"But if I don't get soldiers from my hometown, how will we occupy the Great Lakes region in the future?"
Zhao Hongyu felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Shan thought for a while and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, this is inevitable. But when we make the Iroquois feel threatened, we can just take the opportunity to win over a few of their tribes. As long as there are people in this alliance who have the heart Facing us, then everything won¡¯t be a big problem.¡±
A sinister smile appeared on Wang Shan's face.
Seeing Wang Shan showing such an expression, Zhao Hongyu knew that he must have thought of another bad idea.
This guy is like this. Whenever he thinks of a bad idea, he will show such an expression. He really knows Wang Shan's character very well.
"What idea have you come up with? You might as well tell me about it." Zhao Hongyu hugged Emma and asked her to change her position, because the little guy was sitting on his lap and his legs were a little numb. . "Looking at the evil smile on your face, I know you must have some idea, right?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??, the evil smile on Wang Shan's face became even thicker.
He nodded and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, don't forget the historical records." Wang Shan winked as he spoke. Zhao Hongyu raised his hand knowingly and patted Emma's elastic little butt, and said to Emma: "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some American ginseng soup for me to drink tonight."
Emma nodded without thinking much.
After Emma left, Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan and said, "You can tell me now, it's so mysterious."
Wang Shan then said: "Emma was here just now, and there were some things she couldn't hear. After all, she also knows a lot of Chinese now. Children always learn languages ??very quickly, and there's no way around it. I always have to be careful about things."
Zhao Hongyu nodded. He knew that Wang Shan was right. There were some conversations between them that should not be known to outsiders.
"Tell me what you plan to do." Zhao Hongyu waved his hand, expressing that he understood Wang Shan's caution.
Wang Shan then said: "Your Highness, you should know that although the Iroquois Union was a large alliance in history, their alliance was not reliable. This was reflected in the Seven Years' War between England and France, and in the future of the United States* *It was all fulfilled in the war.¡±
Zhao Hongyu listened quietly to Wang Shan's story, while mentally recalling the information about the Iroquois that he had read in books.
Wang Shan continued: "During the Anglo-French Seven Years War in America, the Iroquois split. Although the six major tribes helped the British, it seemed that they were not divided, but some of the smaller tribes below went to help the French. .¡±
Wang Shan told what would happen to the Iroquois in the future.
"During the American Revolutionary War, the six Iroquois tribes were officially divided. Two of the tribes helped the rebels, and four tribes helped the British. I believe you know the outcome, Your Highness." Chu Wangshan paused.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, of course he knew this history.
Three of the four major tribes that helped the British were exterminated, and the remaining tribe also fled to Canada.
And the two major tribes that helped the Americans did not reap any benefits. During the American Civil War, they were massacred because they were "on the wrong team." At this point, the Iroquois were completely finished.
But Zhao Hongyu was a little curious, what use did Wang Shan say to him?
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu, who didn't quite understand, asked Wang Shan: "What's the use of telling me this? That will happen more than a hundred years later. Besides, the leaders at that time and the Iroquois people The living environment is different from now, so I have no way to measure it."
Hearing this, Wang Shan put away his evil smile and looked serious.
"Your Highness, think about it. If the Iroquois are really monolithic, then they will not have such a thing happen in the future. But how can such a thing happen in their alliance? This is worth it Let¡¯s explore it carefully.¡±
Wang Shan has made it very clear. His so-called "exploration" is actually to find the weaknesses of the Iroquois, that is, to let Zhao Hongyu and others win over some tribes.
Since the French were able to win over so many Indian tribes during the Anglo-French War, why couldn't they do the same.
¡°When it comes to the means and techniques of winning over people, the Chinese are masters.
Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly, and after understanding the meaning of Wang Shan's words, he understood.
What Wang Shan said is absolutely correct. The Iroquois are not monolithic. If they are used well, it is impossible to occupy the Great Lakes without a single blow. However, it is still possible to reduce casualties as much as possible.
It would be good to win over two of the six Iroquois tribes.
¡°If we can really win over the two big tribes, at least they can speak for themselves and save themselves some trouble.
The most important thing is that if the operation is good until a conflict occurs, Zhao Hongyu and the others will encounter less resistance. It is even possible that the Iroquois did not have to wait until the future, but could be divided in this era.
A strong Iroquois is not in the interest of Zhao Hongyu and the others. Only a divided Iroquois that is constantly fighting is in the interest of Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu also became serious.
He said to Wang Shan: "Isn't this simple? The Iroquois system is somewhat similar to the parliamentary system of later generations. Each tribe has one vote to decide, which will make many of their decisions fall into endless wrangling. Because Some decisions cannot take into account the needs of all tribes, which will cause dissatisfaction among some people, and this?Dissatisfaction would eventually boil over and become a flashpoint for the Iroquois. "
He answered some questions that Wang Shan was confused about just now.
"Human beings are born with their own bad qualities. Even simple Indians will have them. There are no exceptions." Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly.
Wang Shan nodded, he quite agreed with what Zhao Hongyu said.
Where there are interests, there will eventually be conflicts. This is an eternal truth.
"There will be such conflicts of interest among the Iroquois, which is inevitable.
It¡¯s just that it hasn¡¯t exploded now, it¡¯s just been suppressed.
But this kind of suppression was not a solution after all, and in the end the French and British saw it and used it to allow the huge Iroquois to eventually be divided and annihilated in the long river of history.
"Your Highness, we can take advantage of this, and we will be able to establish a foothold here." Wang Shan leaned forward and said to Zhao Hongyu seriously. "And our products will definitely be welcomed by them. At the same time, we can also send health teams into their tribes to treat their people" (To be continued.
