The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 Kedir and Hagrid are both fearless and fearless people, and they are not afraid to know that the French intervenes.

Hagrid thought about the situation in the North American colonies and laughed, and said: "In the past two years, there have been more and more immigrants from England, Scotland, and Ireland in New England. It seems that there are five or six thousand people, although the struggle with the Indians has restrained. Their strength, but the two strongholds of the French on the southeast coast were occupied by the British. I heard from the English fishermen that the British colonial company was also preparing to capture Quebec and expel the French. Hey! Let’s deal with France now. Guy is a good opportunity!"

　　 Hadar thought for a while, and felt it was time to show off his strength.

　　 "Okay! We will attack the Bakkens Long Lake tribe tomorrow, and if we encounter the French, we will defeat the captives too!"

　　 Compared to Hagrid’s previous experience in Vinland, the British and French colonists were much more miserable.

Hagrid and Olaf’s reminder attaches great importance to colonial rule. After entering Vinland with white slaves and a small amount of Iceland, he avoided the hinterland with a large number of Beotuks, and chose the southeastern peninsula to establish a camp, and then rely on grabbing. Savage hunters increased their labor, while relying on Newfoundland fishing grounds for fishing, and peninsula wetland forests for hunting, ensured sufficient food rations and avoided the famine that plagued French and British colonists not far from the east coast.

　　 At the same time, because he is far away from the tribal living area of ​​the Savage Alliance, Hagrid has never been attacked by the large Beotuk tribe, which is much better than the colonists of New England on the east coast.

Although the French colonists had a good relationship with the Huron savages and even formed alliances, the savages on the mainland also had a life-and-death relationship. The most powerful Iroquois alliance on the East Coast became rivals with the French colonizers. Has been attacking the French colonies.

From the beginning of the 17th century to 1628, the mortality rate of the British and French colonies was as high as one-third. Although some of them were people who died of diseases, but more were killed by savages and besieged by war. And the high mortality rate caused by famine and starvation due to real reasons.

　　 Hagrid’s colony had a death rate of just over one-tenth before gaining a foothold. When the number of savages and slaves increased, the death rate did not drop but increased, but the whites basically did not lose their jobs.

Before the end of the Thirty Years’ War in Europe, France and the United Kingdom had no intention or ability to mobilize their national power to vigorously develop the North American colonies. Even if they had strength after a few decades, the two countries were unwilling to waste more resources on the North American colonies. Their development methods in North America are still very backward-relying on colonial companies and criminals, white people who have lost their land, and other self-development.

　　 In contrast to the French colonies of Central and South America and the British colonies of India, the North American colonies have always been raised by stepmothers, and the subsequent independence has now buried its roots.

　　 After having breakfast the next morning, the four chiefs of Hadar, Hagrid, Hudik, and Kadir left the camp with an army of thousands of Viking militias and savages and approached north.

　　 marched all the way hurriedly, even if he encountered the savage tribe, he did not attack. In the afternoon, he finally arrived at the northeast corner of Changhu, and saw the long lake tribe with a temple fort built with stones two miles away.

The Changhu Tribe is the strongest local power on Wenlan Island. It controls hundreds of square kilometers of land and has a population of nearly 10,000. There are 1,700 warriors in its headquarters, and there are more than 300 White Wolf warriors. Called invincible, but now the Long Lake tribe shrinks in the city after discovering that the Hadar Legion is approaching, and then the high priest and a white officer are talking eagerly.

　　 The white officer was the captain of the French colony of New France, a close comrade-in-arms of the Governor-General, Mr. Champlain, and the distant nephew of Prince Condé, Francis de Bourbon.

Francis, as a member of the Bourbon family, although it is said to be scary, but because his grandfather is the youngest son of the first prince, he has only a small territory now, but the men of the Bourbon family always hope to build merits on the battlefield and create Brilliant, so the current Prince Henry II of Condé appointed Champlain to replace him to exercise power in New France after he became the governor of New France, and let Francis assist him as Champlain's deputy to manage the middle and low-level officers of New France.

In order to seize the fur business monopolized in Quebec, British merchants began to looting and occupying French strongholds many times this summer, and then blocked the French port strongholds through armed merchant ships and armed white slaves, and prohibited the delivery of grain to Quebec City, in the hope of persecuting Champlain and They negotiated cooperation and even handed over Quebec City.

Quebec City was established in the middle reaches of the St. Lawrence River, which was the gateway where the river began to widen. The river is rich and extends in all directions. The French and the Hurons have established deep revolutionary friendship and alliances, but because Quebec City is just a leather goods The trading bases led to insufficient production of rations here, and they all depended on several bases at the sea to provide food.

　　 In August, Champlain sent Francis to lead two hundred guards stationed on the Gaspé Peninsula at the southern end of the estuary to ensure that the Huron friends and French fishermen on the peninsula provided food for Quebec.

　　 When we entered October, Newfoundland among the French population, and the Beotuk Alliance on Vinland Island among the Icelandic population sent rituals to cross the Bell Strait to find the French who found the Basque whaling point in the Red Bay, and then asked for support.

　　 The Icelander Hagrid on Vinland has been very docile and honest for many years. Champlain and Francis are also happy to have an Icelandic colony on Vinland, so the relationship has been peaceful for many years.

However, this summer the British targeted New France. It is said that the name was changed to Hroot City. After the change of the leader named Hadar, the Icelanders were no longer submissive. Not only did they no longer sell their fur to the French, they also set off annexation and slavery on the island. Savage war of aggression.

This made Champlain very worried when he heard the news, so he sent Francis to lead the army to Vinland~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to repel the Icelanders and let the Icelanders know how good they were, and then cooperate with them. The Iroquois sought allies to preserve the position and existence of New France under the difficult situation of three-sided attack.

　　The Beotuk people living on the islands on the south bank of the Bell Strait have actually maintained trade ties with the French.

The Red Bay Basque whaling site on the north shore was a stronghold established by the Basques more than 100 years ago. It is considered the second group of peoples to log in to North America and establish strongholds after the Icelandic Vikings. The French Basques fished here. Whaling, sun-dried cod, and then brought back to Europe to sell to earn a lot of gold coins.

　　 Later, the British also discovered that the Newfoundland waters are a large fishing ground, so there are hundreds of fishing boats competing each year. At present, because the fishing grounds are rich in resources, only the bases for resting and drying the fish are a bit tight, and the catch has not been affected in any way.

　　 Now the Red Bay Basque whaling site has been expropriated by the "Champlain-Gangcheng Joint Trading Company" as a colony's stronghold for the production of dried cod and fur.

After receiving orders from Champlain, Francis led one hundred and eighty musketeers to the Red Bay Basque whaling site with the sacrifice of the Bakkens Long Lake tribe, and then recruited five hundred Huron warriors there. I took a boat to Wenlan Island on the south coast and rushed to the Bakkens Long Lake Tribe day and night.

Note: Champlain-Gangcheng Joint Trading Company: In 1620, Champlain’s colonial company and the Caen family company that monopolized the fur business in China merged into one, and then the Caen family was responsible for the acquisition and sales, and the funds were fully advanced by them to serve as New France. The Governor's Champlain was engaged in the management of the colony of New France and the expansion of fur business strongholds, so he went deep into the upper reaches of the St. Lawrence River to open up strongholds, looking for new savage tribes to trade fur.
