- "Your Highness, we have received news from Quebec."
Zhao Hongyu, who was waiting hard for news in Manhattan, finally received news from Quebec on this day.
Wang Shan came to the castle and delivered it in person.
"Tell me quickly, how is the situation over there now? Has it stabilized?"
Zhao Hongyu is very concerned about the situation in Quebec, because it is related to the security and stability of northern Manhattan. If the Quebec region can be in his hands, they will be equivalent to him having a rear base.
At the same time, a stable territory can also give Zhao Hongyu a lot of room for maneuver. Even if he encounters unexpected dangers in the future, he will be able to make a comeback.
This is the advantage of having more territory.
No matter what, it is always better than having only one Manhattan city.
¡°And there are also a lot of mineral resources and products in Quebec, which Zhao Hongyu needs.
??Besides, if you occupy the Quebec region, you can occupy the St. Lawrence River and directly peek into the Atlantic Ocean.
¡°In addition, he can also hold all of Canada in his own hands and have a large territory.
When it comes to land, Zhao Hongyu never wants too little.
Zhao Hongyu, who came from a later generation, knew very well how big Canada was, and at the same time, he occupied a huge piece of land like North America.
The St. Lawrence River connects Lake Ontario and leads directly to the Atlantic Ocean.
Establish a shipyard on Lake Ontario, where the warships built can sail directly into the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence River. And stay safe away from the coast.
Even if you fight for maritime hegemony in the future and your own coast is attacked, you will not be without military power and construction at sea.
This is a very long-term thing.
¡°However, if you want to do this, it is very necessary to control Quebec.
Because Quebec has a very special geographical location, it is just northeast of the St. Lawrence River and not far from the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean.
By mastering this place, you can master the passage to the Atlantic Ocean.
And you can also go from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Ontario.
Therefore, the location of Quebec City is extremely important.
If Quebec City is lost, the enemy can follow the St. Lawrence River and directly attack Lake Ontario City.
Of course, in addition to the Quebec Fortress, there is also the Montreal Fortress built by the French last year.
These two fortresses can be said to be two barriers.
As long as these two barriers are not lost, Lake Ontario City will continue to build warships.
¡°For this reason, it¡¯s no wonder that Zhao Hongyu cares so much about Quebec.
"Your Highness, Sharma and Lamar defeated the Iroquois in Quebec. Now Lamar has stationed in the Quebec Fortress and sent three thousand Somali soldiers to station in the Montreal Fortress, stabilizing the situation in the region. "
Wang Shan briefly told Zhao Hongyu.
"Were these Iroquois defeated so easily? Thank God."
Zhao Hongyu sighed.
"Speaking of which, Sharma and the others were very lucky. They started fighting the Iroquois as soon as they arrived in Quebec, and they didn't even take a break. And under such a situation, it was indeed very difficult for them to defeat the Iroquois. It deserves appreciation.¡±
"Where are Sharma and the others? Lamar has stationed troops in Quebec and Montreal. Where is Sharma and the Gurkha Regiment?" Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought of Sharma and his regiment.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu ask this question, Wang Shan replied: "Lamar and the Somali Corps were stationed in Quebec and Montreal, while Sharma and his Gurkha Corps pursued the defeated Iroquois. After the Roquois were defeated, the main force could not be left alone to retreat to the north. There were still a small number of Iroquois scattered around the Quebec region."
"Oh, it turns out that Sharma went after the Iroquois." Zhao Hongyu nodded. He would not have any objection to the pursuit of the Iroquois and their extermination.
"Anyway, the feud has been settled now. If the Iroquois recover after recuperation, it will definitely cause trouble for him.
Although it won¡¯t hurt your muscles and bones, it¡¯s always annoying to have such a group of people, right?
"How much of the main force of the Iroquois is left? Are there many Iroquois scattered around Quebec? Do we need to send additional reinforcements?", Zhao Hongyu asked.
Wang Shan replied: "There are 5,000 troops stationed in the Quebec Fortress and 3,000 troops in the Montreal Fortress. This does not include the more than 60,000 French troops. I think we don't need to send additional reinforcements to Lamar. If he needs it, we will It will be shown in the message next time. And in Quebec, not only the French, but also the Indian tribes who were originally vassal to the French have now turned to the embrace of our empire."
This time, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved.
With the support of the French and those Indian tribes, it should not be difficult to annihilate the scattered Iroquois in Quebec.
"What does Lamar plan to do? How does he want to wipe out the Iroquois scattered around?" Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan curiously.
Wang Shan smiled and said: "Lamar's brain is still very useful. He actually thought of the bounty hunter method, so that the French who were eager to make a fortune and the Indian tribes who had enmity with the Iroquois formed a Scattered bounty parties went out to deal with the Iroquois, and they did pretty well.¡±
Zhao Hongyu nodded, he understood that this method was of course the best.
In other words, it only costs a little silver coins, but it can achieve the ultimate goal without losing its own strength.
At the same time, the Iroquois scattered around Quebec did not gather together but were scattered around in a few or a dozen people, so large troops could not conquer them.
Therefore, small groups of troops could only be dispersed around Quebec to find the Iroquois and kill them.
But in this case, the troops Lamar has on hand will obviously not be enough.
There were only 8,000 people there, and 3,000 people were divided into the Montreal Fortress.
Although the Quebec region is only such a big place on the map, in reality it is a very large area.
Not to mention eight thousand people, even if one hundred thousand people dispersed, there would not be a splash of water.
So, the bounty hunting method developed by Lamar is the best and most effective way to wipe out the remaining Iroquois soldiers in the surrounding area.
Small stocks versus small stocks, and those guys who are willing to be bounty hunters are all people with powerful force.
Therefore, they may not necessarily be at a disadvantage against the remnants of the Iroquois soldiers, and they may even be stronger than the remnants of the Iroquois soldiers.
"Does he have enough silver coins? How about we support him? After all, he needs to pay those people."
Wang Shan shook his head, "No need, there's no way Lamar can handle it. Since he didn't say anything when he sent someone to deliver a letter, it means he doesn't need it."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to give up the idea.
"Okay, is there anything else besides that?"
The problem in Quebec should now be considered resolved.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is in a very good mood now, because his territory has expanded and the land under his control has increased.
He now seems to be a wealthy landowner, with a strong interest in land.
¡°In the future, I have to set aside a piece of private land for me, which can be passed down as my family territory from generation to generation.¡± Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan half seriously and half jokingly.
"Your Highness, the empire belongs to you alone. You can have as much as you want." Wang Shan replied.
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips, but he didn¡¯t take it seriously.
¡°After all, many of the genetic people cultivated are guys with ** personalities.
If you really do this, God knows what they will do.
Although most genetic people are the product of wooden boards, it is an indisputable fact that after these genetic people come into contact with reality, their originally dull brains will gradually become more flexible.
Zhao Hongyu sees everything, and he doesn't want to take risks.
¡°If there really is turmoil because of him, it will be too late for him to regret it.
"Let's talk about this later. First, tell me if there are any requirements from Lamar? If not, we have to start planning to go to Europe." Originally, Zhao Hongyu was most worried about things in Quebec. , if it were not for Quebec, he would have led his team to Europe on a battleship.
Now that the dust has finally settled in Quebec, it can be said that Zhao Hongyu is now relaxed and can start his European trip.
"Anyway, there are seven "township chiefs" here to help them develop the city. It's not of much use for me to stay temporarily. There is nothing to do.If you have nothing to do, why not go for a walk in Europe and the Mediterranean.
By the way, it will show the empire's military power and shock the Europeans.
Of course, Sara also has a manor in Madrid, which he has been thinking about.
Now the French have given another manor near Marseille, and he has to accept it.
In addition, he also wants to go to Egypt to experience things and take a look at the Arab style of this era.
¡°Maybe I¡¯ll be lucky enough to meet a few Arab sheikhs or something, and maybe I¡¯ll be able to get a place to stay in the Arabian Peninsula.
It seems that the Arabs of this era do not know how much wealth there is in the desert under their feet.
If Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t plan something, he would be really sorry for himself.
The powerful Song Empire should have no problem creating an enclave.
Zhao Hongyu began to have endless sexual intercourse in his mind.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Wang Shan coughed when he saw that His Highness was distracted.
"Oh, please tell me quickly, I'll be waiting." Zhao Hongyu, who had been summoned to his senses, looked at Wang Shan a little embarrassed.
Wang Shan didn't say anything about His Highness being distracted. He said to Zhao Hongyu: "Lamar doesn't have any big demands. He just said that it would be best for His Highness and Ms. Sarah to go there in person after they are safe in Quebec. The purpose of this is to tell the French residents there that Quebec has belonged to the empire, and it is best and more convincing for Sarah, the legal lord, to come forward."
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s narration quietly, Zhao Hongyu closed his eyes and thought for a while.
¡°Hey, it looks like I won¡¯t be able to go to Europe in a short time.
After much thought, he could only give up his plan to go to Europe. After all, Lamar had made the right decision. Although there are already Somali Legion troops stationed in Quebec, they have stabilized the situation.
However, it is really necessary for him and Sarah to show up in person and say something good to the French residents.
In addition to declaring legality, the most important thing for them to show up is to calm people's hearts and silence those who have some ideas.
At the same time, the emergence of Sarah as the legal lord of Quebec can also bring most of the French back home and even make them citizens of the empire.
Anyway, there is no concept of country in this era, so it should not be too difficult to absorb French people into the empire and become citizens.
You know, there are still British people in the original Virginia in the empire, and they have all become citizens of the Song Empire.
And the enthusiasm these people show after receiving brainwashing education is even worse than that of fanatic believers within the religion.
The Foreign Legion in Parma is one such example.
The political commissars of the Chinese people used little tricks such as keeping their quilts on watch at night and greeting them, which really moved these people beyond measure.
They have been treated like this before.
You must know that in the European armies of this era, beatings, scolding, and salary deductions were commonplace.
Even worse things have happened.
" But there is no such situation in the empire's corps. Instead, they are well fed and well clothed. Everything is very good except that the training is a bit difficult.
Especially those political commissars, the things they do make everyone feel like they are angels
With the example of the Foreign Legion, the French can think about it.
Zhao Hongyu would not mind that there are many people working for him, and the more the better.
"Tell the messenger in Quebec to tell Lamar to destroy the remnants of the Iroquois soldiers hiding in Quebec as soon as possible. After the destruction, send someone to inform me, and then I will take Sara to Quebec. After all, it is not very safe now, So I can¡¯t go now.¡±
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongyu explained to Wang Shan.
"At the same time, send a group of political commissars to Lamar and let them do propaganda. At the same time, we will organize logistics and start replenishing supplies to Quebec."
¡° Considering that Quebec has experienced such a long war, all kinds of supplies must be extremely scarce.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu plans to provide some support there.
"No, Quebec's supplies have been supported by Lake Ontario City. Song Hu has been paying attention to this matter. The messenger from Quebec has made it very clear that they do not need supplies from Manhattan City." Wang Shan Said to Zhao Hongyu.
"Oh, if that's the case, forget it, but we need to pay close attention to the political commissar's matter. Give it to the lawThe brainwashing done by the countrymen is very important. ", Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan very seriously.
Wang Shan nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand the severity." (To be continued.
