1717 New American Empire

French Governor Carrot has been anxious recently. Ever since he had a bad relationship with the Yanhuang Trading Company, he has always felt unsettled. It feels like there is grass growing in his heart, and he is itching terribly all the time. All the entertainment activities he originally liked to kill time

, lost all interest. Even recently, he started to have nightmares. He always dreamed that he was defeated by the British and the company. A group of fierce soldiers rushed into his governor's palace, grabbed him from the bed, and sent him to the hospital.

The gallows.

On this day, Carrot stayed up for a long time before falling asleep because he was really tired. In his sleep, he began to gradually fall into that terrible nightmare. However, at this time, the originally silent city was suddenly shaken by a burst of rapid speed.

The sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility. The city gate was suddenly opened, and a man who looked like a cavalryman passed through the city gate at full speed without slowing down at all. The sound of horse hooves woke up all the sleeping people around the road, and they all complained a few times.

Then he turned over and went back to sleep.

However, the people in the Governor's Mansion couldn't sleep. The cavalry ran to the Governor's Mansion as fast as possible. When the gatekeeper of the Governor's Mansion came out, the cavalry pounced and fell to the ground. And the horse was actually dead.

The gatekeeper helped the cavalryman and asked him what he wanted. The cavalryman only said that he had an urgent military situation to report to Governor Carrot and asked them to wake him up immediately. However, at this time, the governor who had been suffering from insomnia recently had just fallen asleep.

Dare to disturb him.

Originally, the majesty of the Governor was not something that servants like them could offend. Recently, the Governor had suffered from insomnia. The servants who dared to disturb him before were still lying in bed unable to get up. But the cavalry did not say anything at all.

What on earth is going on? They have been clamoring to see the governor. The servants have no choice but to invite Carrot’s confidant, the butler. Although the butler is also rigid, at least he is not cruel at all. As long as it is business, they will not

What's the problem?

When the old butler arrived, he didn't know what he said. The cavalry was persuaded to tell him the urgent military situation he said. Who would have thought, when the old butler heard this, his face immediately turned livid, and without saying a word, he walked directly into Carlo

He went to his bedroom and woke up Carrot who had just fallen asleep. Carrot was about to

Angry, the old butler said a few words in his ear and immediately turned off the engine. Then, he sat up very quickly and asked the old butler to help him put on his clothes. At the same time, the Governor's Mansion sent seven clever servants

, came to the residences of all the mid-level and senior officers in the city who were not on expedition.

The cavalry brought back shocking news. On March 17, 1722, the Yanhuang Trading Company officially declared war on the French. Because the French had no office in the company, the declaration of war was shot into a town in the rear by Night Owl warriors with compound crossbows.

on the city wall. Before the people in this town could report the news, the company started a terrible bombardment on the three forts they built on the border and the more than 20,000 soldiers inside.

The French have information about the heavy howitzers in the company's hands. There is no way. If they don't find out clearly, the people below will think that there are gods behind the company and that the gods gave them such terrible weapons. However, the people who were scattered before

The power of those artillery was not as powerful as this time, and all three fortresses were blown to pieces. Even if the city wall only had one side and was not complete, it should not be destroyed by a single bombardment.

However, this is the fact. When the French received the news and sent people to support the three fortresses, they discovered that this place had fallen into the hands of the Yanhuang Trading Company. The company's people had already placed themselves on the ordinary city wall on the other side.

They brought machine guns, and the reinforcements rushed twice, but were beaten back by the crossfire of machine guns. Because they were emergency support, they did not bring any heavy artillery. The few small cannons they had were knocked out by soldiers of the field division with mortars.

.

There is no other way, the reinforcements can only retreat and rely on the towns to build defenses again. However, these people are extremely worried. More than 20,000 troops and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to build the fortress walls. They were all destroyed by the company in one day, let alone them.

Now they have this kind of wooden, or broken city wall with wood inside and stone and mud outside. They didn't expect that in this battle, basically all the explosive shells had been consumed, and they wanted to continue to use these heavy howitzers to show off their power.

, we have to wait until next month.

Originally, the French only had about 60,000 troops, but now 30,000 were dragged into the British colonies by Lin Xin using the British aristocratic private army. There are still 30,000 in the territory, which was originally very enough, but this time

, nearly 25,000 people were killed in this battle. Only more than 5,000 people were left. Of course, this is the army. There are still many people in the navy. In addition to the necessary sailors, the navy of this era has

Each ship has a sufficient number of warriors on board, mainly for boarding battles.

Moreover, sailors can also act as army soldiers with muskets. Even this combat effectiveness is not as good as that of real army soldiers. Including the navy troops, they have fifty large and small warships and more than 12,000

Troops. However, with this power, as long as the people of Yanhuang Trading Company did not get close to the coast, they could not resist it. Therefore, the frightened frontline officers immediately sent people back to Carrot to spread the bad news.

Carrot was so shocked by the news that he lost all sleep. He called all the officers who stayed behind and held a meeting at the Governor's Mansion overnight to discuss. Seeing the news, these officers immediately fell silent. Carrot

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I saw several officers’ legs shaking. Now is not the time to be afraid. If you don’t take measures, it will be terrible. Carrot doesn’t want his dream to change step by step.

become reality.

"Okay, let's talk. What should we do now?"

"Who knows what to do now? I didn't agree to send 30,000 people to kill the British first. If those 30,000 people were still there, why would we be in this situation now?"

"Kakarot, what do you mean? You didn't say anything during the vote, but now you're here to cause trouble, right?"

"Why, you can't say that. You are a country nobleman, Samour. Why are you so arrogant?"

"you!"

"Crack!"

"Okay, now is not the time for internal strife. The 30,000 troops in the British colonies must be transferred back as soon as possible. The power of this Yanhuang Trading Company is too terrifying. Without numerical advantage, it is really unstoppable."

"Yes, Lord Governor, I suggest dispatching a fleet to bring them back by water. Also, people in the arsenal must be allowed to work overtime immediately to produce weapons, and then recruit civilians to form a sufficient militia force 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 we retreat like this, our morale will be completely lost."

The French only had this option. They had already lost 20,000 troops. It was no longer possible to defeat the British first and then confront the company. They could only draw back their troops as much as possible and use the terrain of the colony to defend. Then, again

Using the colonial population to form a militia of 10,000 to 20,000 people, this war still has to be fought. The British, after receiving the news, almost held a celebration party. It was still Lin Xin, with the French here

The reason was that the people had not yet been annihilated, so they were suppressed by force.

Lin Xin is naturally happy, but now is the time to really test him. If these 30,000 troops are allowed to return to the French colony, then the company must hurry up and occupy enough territory. If these people are allowed to go back,

If you want to occupy enough territory, the price you have to pay will be high. However, this also has disadvantages. Because if you suddenly expand too fast, your rule will be very unstable.

At this time, the situation of the French was much better than that of the British. Because they were not constantly at war with the company, the French's economic development had no problems and had been very healthy. Although the British invaded later, they were driven away in time.

They got out without causing too much damage. Later, they attacked the British colonies twice and robbed a lot of property. All military supplies were sufficient. Naturally, the civilians were not squeezed too hard.

Therefore, these French immigrants do not have great resentment towards rulers such as Carrot. Judging from the company's statistics in recent years, only a sporadic number of French people have joined the company with all resources, and less than

One percent of the British. If they attack too quickly and cannot defend themselves, some people will dissatisfy the company's rule and then organize the French to resist. Even when the French army comes over, they will cooperate with each other, causing huge casualties to the company.

Lin Xin must now work hard and use the little power in his hand to trap the 30,000 French regular troops here. Only in this way can the company proceed step by step and manage all the occupied territories like iron barrels

Generally speaking, Lin Xin has always been

I was thinking about what means the French had to bring these troops out. With Lin Xin's wisdom, he had already got rid of the Qing Dynasty's idea of ​​not paying attention to the navy. After much deliberation, he had to bring 30,000 troops with him.

Large fleets have this capability.

However, the company does not even have a sea port now, let alone a fleet. Those people in Ijik are actually the company's naval power. However, how can it be possible to defeat the French fleet with just a few ships. Therefore,

At this time, the British fleet must be sent out. The British fleet has not appeared recently, mainly due to some struggles. After all, many people in the navy had defected to Charles before.
