- "Your Highness, both the Iroquois and the French have suffered heavy losses now. According to intelligence, neither of them can support it for much longer. I think it's time for us to take action? Let me tell you, now is a It¡¯s a good time, we have to seize it.¡±
Wang Shan reminded Zhao Hongyu.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while: "The French are easy to deal with. With Sarah as a legitimate master, we only need to get married and walk around here in Manhattan, and then I can lead the troops into Quebec.", and then He added: "What I'm more worried about now is how to deal with those Iroquois. They are the trouble that worries me the most. After all, they are different from the French."
When he mentioned the Iroquois, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s brows knitted together.
After hearing that His Highness expressed his concerns, Wang Shan smiled and said: "Your Highness, your worries are not unreasonable. But don't worry too much. Those Iroquois are actually not difficult to deal with. .¡±
Zhao Hongyu tilted his head, raised his head slightly and looked at Wang Shan standing next to him: "Oh, have you received some news here? I see you are so calm, so it must be. Tell me quickly, Wang There must be some information from Hu."
When he heard what Wang Shan said, he immediately turned around and knew what news Wang Shan had received. Otherwise, he would definitely not be so calm and not worried about this matter at all.
Sure enough, when Zhao Hongyu asked, Wang Shan smiled and said: "Your Highness, your guess is correct. There is indeed good news coming back from Wang Shan, and this news is also related to the Iroquois. It can even be said that Your Highness You don¡¯t have to worry about the issues you¡¯re worried about in the future.¡±
This time, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became energetic. He was now most troubled by the problem of the Iroquois people.
Because he was worried that if he didn't handle it well, the Iroquois would become a serious problem for him.
Thinking about it, with Zhao Hongyu¡¯s current military strength, it is unrealistic to annihilate all the Iroquois. If this caused any trouble between the Iroquois and the Song Empire, it would bring great trouble to the empire.
Zhao Hongyu knows the tactical characteristics of the Indians best. Sneak attacks, ambushes, and harassment of your outgoing teams and personnel from time to time are something no one can stand.
If such a situation really occurs, how can we talk about development?
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu least wants this situation to occur. If it can be resolved peacefully, Zhao Hongyu definitely does not want to resort to force.
The use of force to solve problems should only be used as a last resort.
Of course, at that time in winter, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan of ¡®fishing in troubled waters¡¯ was not among them, because the environment at that time was different from now, so Palma and his small team could use some force.
¡°And Parma and the others still pretend to be French.
Therefore, all the evil things they did were blamed on the French and had nothing to do with Zhao Hongyu and the others.
But that¡¯s not possible now, because once Zhao Hongyu and others send troops, can the Iroquois still be counted on the French? It was obvious that even the Song Empire would hate the Iroquois.
However, now Wang Shan said that Song Hu had come and said that there was a solution to this matter.
This made Zhao Hongyu energetic, because he had been having a headache about this problem.
"Tell me, what is the solution? I hope Song Hu is not a liar. He can really solve this problem that has been bothering me." Wang Shan asked repeatedly.
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness. I will tell you slowly, there is no need to rush me." Wang Shan saw that Zhao Hongyu was a little anxious, but he responded calmly and smiled. But when he saw Zhao Hongyu glare, he quickly put away his playful smile and became serious.
"The thing is like this. News came from Wang Hu, saying that the Iroquois United Tribes were constantly attacked by the French. The people behind them suffered heavy casualties, so many people fled to Lake Ontario for protection. Song Hu We have accepted many Indians within two months, and these Indians belong to various tribes."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said with some confusion: "Haven't Palma and the others already returned? Why are the villagers gathered by the Iroquois still being attacked?"
Wang Shan rolled his eyes: "Your Highness, weren't you fooled by that plan to fish in troubled waters? Don't forget, the French were fooled by the Gurkhas, and many people died, and they were all included in Yiluo The Iroquois took the blame and were retaliated by the French."
Wang Shan reminded Zhao Hongyu and explained the reason.
"Oh, I bet it's all because of me. I really feel sorry for the Iroquois people. I'm really embarrassed to let them take such a big blame."
Although Zhao Hongyu said so, Wang Shan could not see any sorry look on his face.
¡°Humph, His Highness is getting more and more sinister now, but this is also the character a king needs.
Wang Shan didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reaction.
¡°After all, in Wang Shan¡¯s view, the dead Iroquois or French were all foreigners. As long as the person who died was not a Chinese, it wouldn't matter.
How could Wang Shan, the master of the Imperial Han theory in Great China, care about the lives of other races?
"How many Iroquois did Song Hu gather? Why did he gather those guys? What good does this do to us?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
Wang Shan quickly replied: "There are now 50,000 people in total. The population on Lake Ontario is now almost as large as the population here in Manhattan. The people of the Iroquois past plus the original Gurkhas , and now the population on Lake Ontario has exceeded 80,000."
¡°Well, the population is really growing a lot, and it¡¯s very rapid.
Zhao Hongyu nodded and thought to himself.
"Is Song Hu still supportive? Do you need to send someone to help him? After all, his authority is not very high. He only has one billion funds per month. I guess it is not enough for him."
Zhao Hongyu became a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, Song Hu can handle it completely. In addition to adding a thousand Chinese geneticists every month, he also has spare money to add some infrastructure. I heard that he is now building small thermal power plants, because he has There are abundant coal resources.¡±
I X, this Song tiger is going against the sky, and even small thermal power can be done.
"I remember we don't have this kind of product, how come he can even get small thermal power?" Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan a little strangely.
Wang Shan smiled and said: "I entrusted this guy Chen Zhenbang to get it. The equipment is three times the market price and you can't buy it casually. At the same time, you have to pay Chen Zhenbang a benefit. It is basically the same as the engine and propeller installed on the bottom of our battleship." A truth."
When Wang Shan mentioned Chen Zhenbang, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved.
Isn't it? With this guy, you can really get some time.
But there is also a very bad point in this, that is, it is not as easy to buy as you like the products you develop and invest in, and the quantity is limited. You can only buy one kind a month.
It seems that the best way is to invest in research yourself.
Zhao Hongyu sighed and said to Wang Shan.
"Your Highness, now you don't have to worry about this issue at all. The gene people have seven other township chiefs to be responsible for the increase. At the same time, they can also expand your territory and hand over money. All you have to do is to have some Just invest the money.¡±
Zhao Hongyu nodded.
Indeed, after having the township head, his life is indeed much more comfortable now.
??Now I don¡¯t have to do it myself to cultivate genetic people and other infrastructure construction in other areas.
The seven township chiefs did even better than him.
Therefore, what Zhao Hongyu has to do now is to save money and invest in the research and development of new products.
By then, modern cities and towns should be able to appear in this era.
After all, the American continent is so rich in natural resources, and there are oil fields in the west
"Okay, let's talk about how Song Hu dealt with those Iroquois. We all said we were off topic, and you haven't answered me yet." Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhao Hongyu changed the topic back.
Wang Shan replied with a flattering smile: "What else can be done? Wang Hu asked them to give up their identity as Iroquois and join the empire as Indians. And they can only recognize two kings in the future and no longer recognize them. The leader. One king is you, and the other king is Emma."
"It's impossible for the Iroquois to submit so easily, after all, there are so many of them now." Zhao Hongyu blinked and asked.
Wang Shan nodded: "Well, there was indeed a little confusion, but it quickly subsided. At the same time, Song Hu did not use force because it would make things worse."
"How did Wang Shan solve this problem without using force?What about? ", Zhao Hongyu was very confused after hearing Wang Shan's words.
Wang Shan explained: "Divide, draw together, and defeat each other. Although the Iroquois are a coalition, they are not monolithic and have their own interests." He explained the reason.
Then, Wang Shan explained Song Hu's methods to Zhao Hongyu in detail.
First of all, Wang Hu took advantage of the Cayuga people who had a good relationship with the empire, because the Cayuga people were the first tribe to come into contact with the empire.
And the Cayuga people have a very good sense of the empire.
In addition, the empire¡¯s insecticide was needed by the Cayuga people, so the Cayuga people immediately defected to Wang Hu.
With the Cayuga people as role models, everything will be easy to handle next time
Under the guidance of the Cayuga people, Wang Hu successively gathered two more tribes and some small tribes.
These people wisely chose to vassal themselves under the wings of the Empire and became Amarr's tribe.
In their opinion, it is a good thing that the queen of the empire is an Indian.
And the empire¡¯s military power is very powerful, which is one of the reasons why many tribes choose to bow their heads.
The matter is very simple. Whenever Song Hu has something to do, he will do military exercises, pull out the artillery and let it go for a long time. Therefore, those Indians knew very well how powerful those cannons were.
Hehehe, Song Hu still has such a skill after working for a long time.
Speaking of which, Zhao Hongyu still doesn¡¯t understand. He also secretly admires Song Huzhong¡¯s secret threat methods.
At least, it seems that this method is still very useful and effective.
"Yes, who says it's not the case? What this guy Song Hu did really frightened the Iroquois people." Wang Shan agreed, dumbfounded.
"So, the Iroquois are easy to deal with. By the time we deal with the French, there will no longer be any enemies in the Great Lakes region, and the Iroquois will all become subjects of our empire. Isn¡¯t it?¡±
As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, Zhao Hongyu nodded.
Indeed, according to Wang Shan and Song Hu¡¯s method, the Iroquois will no longer be a threat.
But the problem is that with such means, it is impossible to make every Iroquois submissive. That kind of die-hard elements will always exist in any generation or race.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu raised his concerns with Wang Shan.
"Your Highness, your concern is not unreasonable. Song Hu has also taken it into consideration. He means that there can only be one way to deal with such die-hard elements."
Wang Shan had a very ferocious look on his face, and at the same time he raised his hand and scratched his throat.
Zhao Hongyu understands the meaning of this action very well.
"Kill those die-hard elements!"
Zhao Hongyu blurted out and said it.
Wang Shan nodded and responded: "Yes, to deal with such die-hards. Rather than letting them cause trouble for us, it is better to eliminate them from body to soul."
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, and he also understood that apart from this method, there really was no other effective method.
"As for those die-hard Iroquois elements who are unwilling to do so, if we let them leave. Then the Song Empire, which annexed them, would definitely become their enemy.
¡°At that time, those farm owners who go to cultivate the land, and a few people who go out to do business, will inevitably become the targets of their attacks. Although this kind of loss is not huge, it is unnecessary.
Therefore, it is also necessary to eliminate these safety hazards.
After thinking about this, the guilt in Zhao Hongyu's heart disappeared.
As the saying goes, if you die as a Taoist friend, you will never die as a poor Taoist. If you want to build your own empire, bloodshed is inevitable.
"Tell Song Hu and let him act as he sees fit. What I want is land and no enemies."
"Yes, Your Highness!"¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
Boom! boom! boom!
The Iroquois army was fighting fiercely with the French at the Quebec Fortress.
Around the fort, the bodies of dead Iroquois warriors were everywhere.
The situation of the surrounded French was not much better at this time, and their casualties were equally high.
At the same time, due to the earlier attack by the Gurkhas pretending to be the Iroquois, the residents in the rear of Quebec were also hit within the fortress.
This put a material pressure on the fortress.
"Sir! If we continue to be surrounded like this, the food will not last long. And there is obviously not enough gunpowder now, as well as lead bullets and cannonballs"
After several months of siege, Leon is now the only person in charge.
The others all died in the battle.
"Damn, why are these Iroquois attacking so fiercely!" Leon's face was not very pretty, and there was no blood at all.
Outside the fortress, fifty to sixty thousand Iroquois warriors densely surrounded the fortress.
The soldiers standing behind the fort wall looked at the Iroquois outside. And what their eyes reveal is the kind of despair with no hope at all (to be continued.
