Zhao Hongyu and the others are indeed not very familiar with the Iroquois and have never had any dealings with them.
Although they sent a small team of genetic people to contact the Iroquois, when Zhao Hongyu and the others left Lake Ontario, those genetic people had not yet returned.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not know what happened to the Cayuga tribe.
And even if they came into contact with the Iroquois and told the Cayuga tribe about the French's plans, whether they would believe them or not is another matter.
Why should people believe you?
So, this matter is a bit troublesome.
"I'm worried that even if we tell the Iroquois, they won't believe it." Zhao Hongyu said with some uncertainty.
Wang Shan said: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle, but we still have to do what we need to do. And I heard from Leon and the others that they have now dispatched a military force of about 500 people. And together with warriors from three vassal Indian tribes, they entered the territory controlled by the Iroquois and began to destroy their villages."
"In addition to being a provocation, this is also to eliminate the effective force of the Iroquois as much as possible. It also buys more time for Montreal. Oh, by the way, I also want to tell you that Montreal was not established until winter. The purpose of the fort was to occupy the beaver-infested stretch of the St. Lawrence River."
In one night, Wang Shandao really got a lot of useful information.
You can¡¯t say that Leon is stupid, but they are really not good at this aspect. After all, this was only 1620, and there was no confidentiality system for intelligence.
¡° In addition, Wang Shan is very good at deceiving people, and Leon and the others will have nothing to lose if they don¡¯t fall for it.
¡°Besides, Wang Shan was still drinking while chatting with them.
Under the influence of alcohol, Leon and the others
"You're really good at it. You managed to get so much information in one night. It seems like I was right to ask you to do intelligence work. Not bad, not bad."
Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan with great satisfaction.
Wang Shan was very modest: "It's not that I'm very powerful. The main reason is that these idiots don't pay attention to keeping this information confidential. In addition, I patted my chest and promised to stand by their side, and I signed the contract with them secretly. Porcelain has an agreement to expand its share, so they trust me very much.¡±
"In their opinion, we will definitely stick with them. Especially after signing the agreement, after all, the widow can't give us anything." Wang Shan laughed sinisterly.
Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan dumbfounded: "These European bumpkins in 1620, in later generations, even a high school student will not be able to believe you so much."
"Zhao Hongyu is telling the truth, and Wang Shan also knows it.
"Your Highness, although I am a junior high school student, I am considered a high-level cultural talent in this era. If I can't fool these few idiots, I will have studied for nine years in vain to receive my junior high school diploma."
Wang Shan puffed up his chest and said to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu raised his finger and pointed at Wang Shan, sincerely unable to complain.
"Most of the Chinese geneticists in Manhattan have graduated from high school. You and Song Hu graduated from junior high school, and Zhang Tie graduated from a technical technical school."
It turns out that among the genetic people here in Manhattan, Wang Shan and Song Hu are of low cultural level.
Wang Shan rolled his eyes, very unconvinced.
"Your Highness, you can't compare the Chinese Genius and the two of us. You must know that compared to Somalia's Lamour and Gorkha's Sharma, Song Hu and I both have very high junior high school education. "
Well, Zhao Hongyu had to admit that what Wang Shan said was right.
The old Somalis are basically illiterate, and so are the Gurkhas.
??????????????????? The three Indian sects who are working as security patrols and urban management have good academic qualifications, and they basically all graduated from junior high school.
Therefore, what Wang Shan said about Zhao Hongyu is really irrefutable.
"You guys, why don't you go and compete with those powerful ones? You have to compete with those from the third world." Zhao Hongyu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Your Majesty, don't you still have 300 million funds on hand? If you ask me, hurry up and cultivate genetic humans in Lake Ontario now. When the war breaks out, we will be able to fish in troubled waters."
After joking with Zhao Hongyu for a while, Wang Shan suggested.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Well, at this time, I really have to considerThe problem of breeding genetic people is over. I think it will take at most a month for the war to begin, and by then we will not be able to survive without enough manpower. "
Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t help but worry when he thought that there were only about 600 people in the Lake Ontario camp, including the people he brought out.
"Wang Shan, how many troops does Quebec have?"
Now that you have a plan, now you have to slowly plan it out.
If Yan is trying to fish in troubled waters, then Zhao Hongyu will have to have a certain advantage in terms of military strength.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to suppress the Iroquois and French.
The military strength and strength of both sides are also what Zhao Hongyu needs to refer to.
"Yi Luokui's side is easy to talk to, Zhao Hongyu knows it well.
"But Zhao Hongyu is not very clear about the military strength of Quebec.
That¡¯s why he asked Wang Shan.
After all, Wang Shan had a night of drinking with Leon and the others last night, so he didn¡¯t believe that Wang Shan wouldn¡¯t inquire about this information.
Hearing this, Wang Shan smiled calmly and said: "Hey, of course I heard about this question. I'm not a fool. I have to plan for a rainy day. Plus those guys don't put much defense against me. I If I don¡¯t take advantage of it, I¡¯m really crazy.¡±
¡°Then, Wang Shan told Zhao Hongyu all the information he had learned about Quebec.
The French Quebec region has 38 immigration points and a total population of more than 60,000 people.
It can be said that the population of each immigration point is much larger than that of Virginia.
However, now those immigration points are basically abandoned and have become the footholds of some bold businessmen.
The reason is very simple, it is all because of the war with the Iroquois a few years ago.
The French in the immigration settlements all left the settlements because of the war and came to the northeast of the Quebec Fortress to establish a small city.
"The Quebec Fortress is here to garrison troops.
In other words, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not arrive at the French town, but only came to their military fortress.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, after all, the French rely on the soldiers in the fortress to manage and rule the Quebec region.
In the fortress of Quebec, the number of garrison troops is about 4,000.
Montreal also has 2,000 garrison troops, which means that the number of French troops in Quebec is 6,000.
At the same time, among the 60,000 people in the rear, if there is an emergency, a militia team can be formed. The number of this team is about 10,000.
Even if the old, weak, sick and disabled are not considered, the number can reach 30,000.
¡°After all, when it comes to issues of life and death, even old men in Quebec will go to the battlefield.
Therefore, the French¡¯s military strength is very impressive. They have a regular army of 6,000 people and a militia reserve force of more than 10,000 people.
So calculated, it would be at least 20,000 people.
This number would have been higher if Zhao Hongyu had more soldiers in Manhattan.
At the same time, under the wings of the French in Quebec, there were more than fifty Indian vassal tribes. Some of these tribes have a population of more than 10,000, while some of the smaller tribes have a population of several thousand.
"When these Indian tribes are mobilized, they can also form an army of 100,000 people.
It was precisely because of the vassals of these Indian tribes that the French were able to fight on par with the Iroquois and gain a foothold in the war a few years ago.
"Well, so the French should be considered to have a military strength of 120,000 people." Zhao Hongyu frowned when he heard Wang Shan finish.
In his opinion, the military strength of the French and Iroquois was much stronger than that of the British in Virginia.
Even compared to himself, he is not weak at all.
Although this era is still in the era of cold weapons, if a group of people come to kill them in a chaotic manner, the flintlock gun may not be effective.
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. It's true that they do have such military strength. But considering their logistical problems, I don't think they can launch a war with 120,000 people at once." Wang Shan said. The old god was not as worried as Zhao Hongyu at all.
Logistical issues
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, it is good to have a military strength of 120,000 people. But they cannot really mobilize so many people at once. After all, there are many problems in this era.??Difficult to solve. "
Being reminded by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu instantly became relaxed.
Wang Shan said with a smile: "So, according to my considerations, a war of ten thousand people is probably their limit. This is true for both the French and the Iroquois. They cannot send so many warriors at one time. Fighting."
"But they have such war potential, we have to take it into consideration." Zhao Hongyu finally added.
Wang Shan nodded: "Your Highness is right. The Iroquois and the French have strong war potential, but we are not weak either. If we want to support war with war, they can't compare to us."
Zhao Hongyu understood the meaning of Wang Shan¡¯s words.
"Wang Shan, if we can do without force, we should try not to use force. After all, the lives of genetic people are also lives, and the lives of Indians are also lives." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan seriously.
Wang Shan sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, you are good at everything. But sometimes you are too soft-hearted. You have to know how the rise of a country can be without killing. And it is impossible for us and you to let all the Indians If you recognize us, maybe when we develop the west in the future, we will treat them like the United States in later generations."
How could Zhao Hongyu not know that sometimes being soft-hearted is a problem.
It's just that he really can't be like those people in the novel, who start a war when they say it's time to start a war, and frown when killing people means nothing.
That¡¯s not to say that Zhao Hongyu won¡¯t kill people. After all, he has been in this era for more than a year and has experienced a lot of things and conflicts.
¡°But if he could avoid killing, Zhao Hongyu would still choose not to kill.
After all, he is not a murderer or a butcher.
"Your Highness, let's not dwell on this issue. Anyway, you won't be able to control many things by then, so we'd better not talk about it."
Wang Shan feels that it is very unnecessary to complain about his Majesty on this issue.
Zhao Hongyu also nodded after hearing this.
"Well, there is really no need for the two of us to be entangled in this issue."
"Your Highness, what you have to do now is to use all your means to seduce the widow. If we can get her to marry you, then we can have a name to enter Quebec."
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand: "I'll give it a try, but I want to know how you plan to deal with Iroquoi?"
According to Wang Shan¡¯s plan, Quebec will be easy to solve. As long as you have a righteous name, it is very easy to put it in your palm.
And with this name, the garrison will not cause much resistance, and there is no need to worry about other problems except such a villain.
But what about the Iroquois?
After all, after occupying Quebec and Montreal, Zhao Hongyu and the others will have to deal with the Iroquois.
"What else can we do? Win over those who can be won over, and fight those who cannot be won over. Of course, it would be best if we don't take action. As Your Highness said, we Chinese genetic people cannot sacrifice too much." Wang Shan raised his hand and touched his smooth chin.
"I'm sorry, Wang Shan is talking about a Chinese genetic person.
It seems that in his mind, in addition to the Chinese gene people, others such as Lao Hei, Asan and Gurkhas will not be worried about him at all.
¡°You guy, can¡¯t you put away your imperial ways?¡± Zhao Hongyu really couldn¡¯t laugh or cry. Wang Shan looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and replied: "Your Highness, this is impossible. In future generations, white-skinned people will be bullies. I am very unconvinced. Now that God has given me such an opportunity, I must Let the Chinese geneticists stand up and let those white-skinned people become inferior people."
It can be seen that this is Wang Shan¡¯s ideal.
"Wang Shan, that's why you created the Eight Banners of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Hongyu shook his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff.
Wang Shan reached out and asked Zhao Hongyu for one.
"To be honest, Your Highness, do you feel comfortable seeing those white-skinned slaves?"
Snapped!
He struck a match and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath and blew out a green smoke ring.
Well!
When asked by Wang Shan, Zhao Hongyu really didn¡¯t know how to answer.
To be fair, looking at those white people from Virginia, after training in the training class for a period of time, they officially?Zhao Hongyu is really happy to cover his slave.
