The Rise of the European Emperor

Albert wrote a report on the excellent performance of the mules on Long Island when plowing the land, and sent a ship back to the mainland. Also, there is a strong demand to expand the breeding scale of mules. After all, from a service point of view, mules are really useful.

In addition, he also hit the horse application report. Seeing that the Mohicans had run far away, they would not be able to catch up with them on foot. Therefore, horses are needed to pursue them. And to chase the Mohicans in the North American jungle, the Eastern European Mongolian horse of medium stature is the best choice.

why? Because the branches in the North American jungle are densely covered, there are always crooked branches that grow sideways. If it is a tall horse in Western Europe, it is easier to bump into those crooked branches while riding on the horse. At the same time, the cost of raising Western European horses is also high, and their endurance is not good. Generally speaking, it is an Eastern European Mongolian horse that is resistant to rough feeding and has strong endurance, which is suitable for this kind of "chasing thousands of miles".

However, because Marin attaches great importance to letting the horse land on the ground. Therefore, Albert needs to apply for a report. Moreover, this batch of horses must be castrated. Otherwise, if it is captured by the natives by accident, it will be troublesome.

In addition to the mainland and New York, Twin Islands and Cape Breton Island starting spring plowing, the newly opened Savannah Colony also started spring plowing. Moreover, Marin attaches great importance to Savannah's spring plowing. Because the crops sown here are a few things that Marin values ​​very much-tung tree, lacquer tree, moso bamboo, and cotton of the upland cotton variety from Mexico.

Of course, the seeds planted here are half of the seeds of tung tree, lacquer tree and moso bamboo. As for the other half, it was sent to the Argentine Pampas in the southern hemisphere.

However, because of the long distance, the boat to the Pampas grassland is probably still on the coast of Brazil in South America at this moment, and has not yet reached the Pampas grassland. I don't know if they can catch up with the planting of winter wheat.

The southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere have opposite seasons. In the northern hemisphere, it is early spring in March, while in the southern hemisphere, it is still early autumn when autumn tigers are rampant. And April, in the southern hemisphere, is the best golden autumn season. As for May, it is equivalent to November in the northern hemisphere. And November is the best season for planting winter wheat. Therefore, as long as the fleet heading to the Pampas grassland arrives in April and plants winter wheat in May, the task will be considered complete.

As for Savannah, because it is relatively close to the mainland of the North Sea. Therefore, the fleet transporting seeds here arrived in February. In March, Marin also sent 500 Cossacks with horses and mares to protect the growth of precious tung trees, sumac trees, moso bamboo and upland cotton in the Savannah colony.

At the same time, Marin also divided thousands of English immigrants from the Cape Breton Island Colony and transported them to the Savannah grasslands, specializing in the cultivation of tung tree, sumac tree, moso bamboo and cotton.

Marin's worries were indeed right. The Creek tribe that sold the Savannah grassland to Kovok began to feel uneasy after seeing thousands of immigrants sent by Marin.

Because the tribe that sold the land only had 500 people. There are only about 180 strong men who can fight. Suddenly, the Creek tribe saw thousands of white people pouring into the previously sold prairie, and was immediately frightened a little bit dumbfounded. Then they backfired and tried to drive the immigrants away...

However, at this time, they couldn't help it. Because, the 500 Cossacks sent by Marin arrived...

At the beginning, Kovok took a tolerant attitude and didn't want to turn his face with the other party. However, the local Creek Indians, who have no rules, are determined to drive out immigrants. They even killed an English immigrant with javelins for this purpose.

It just so happened that the 500 Cossacks who had just arrived in the Savannah Grassland had recovered after resting for a few days. So, Kovok immediately turned his face...

An extremely fierce conflict broke out between the two sides. In order to wipe out each other, the leading Cossack leader Gelbin (one of the leaders of the 10 German Cossack villages) suggested that Governor Kovok attract the opponent to the grassland for a decisive battle. As for the Cossack cavalry, they didn't show up at first, but hid in the grove to the east.

The reason for this is that Gelbin knows that

If fighting in the jungle, the Cossacks who are not familiar with the terrain may not be able to catch up with the native Indians who are familiar with the environment. But if they arrived on the grassland, they would be delivering food to the Cossacks...

According to this plan, Governor Kowok first took all the immigrants and guards and retreated to a temporary rammed adobe wall in the middle of the Savannah grassland, relying on the wall to defend against the opponent's attack.

The native Indians really don't have much wisdom. When they saw thousands of whites retreating, they thought they were scared by their "powerful" fighting power. Then, the 180 warriors of the tribe came out from the forest in the west, came to the outside of the large courtyard where thousands of immigrants temporarily lived, and tried to capture the compound with walls built with rammed earth...

Then, they are a tragedy...

Seeing that the Creek fighters were far away from the forest, after putting down the binoculars, Gelbin really ordered 500 Cossack cavalry to come out and charge the 180 Creek fighters from behind...

Facing the incoming 500 Cossack cavalry, the Creek warriors who had never been in contact with cavalry were frightened. In particular, the majestic momentum of the 500 cavalry charge made the 180 Creek fighters feel suffocated and frightened. Then, they start running away in fright...

However, on the grassland, who can outrun the cavalry? Even those native Indians Sai Liu Xiang and Seibolt died under the sabers of the Cossacks under the pursuit of the Cossacks...

The 100 German Cossack lads under Gelbin, probably killing for the first time, felt very uncomfortable. Many people vomited on the spot and lost the idea of ​​​​chasing the enemy. If they encounter enemy cavalry with comparable combat strength, these 100 people will easily collapse.

But the other 400 genuine Zaporozhye Cossacks are all scumbags. They showed no mercy to the fleeing Indian Creek natives, and even got extremely excited when they slashed and killed their opponents. Gelbin and his 100 German Cossack boys killed a total of 37 Indian Creek fighters, while the remaining 143 were all killed by genuine Zaporozhye Cossacks. Unlike the German Cossack boys who didn't adapt, those old Zaporozhye Cossacks not only killed the native Indian warriors, but also cut off their heads and tied them around their waists, or simply tied them with ropes. waving to show off... Then, the German boys under Gelbin threw up again...

But anyway, Gelbin and his Cossacks still have a task to complete - kill everyone in that Creek village...

This was specifically requested by Marin, why? Because the tribes of the Creeks are not independent, but have some connections with each other. Marin asked to slaughter this tribe, in fact, because he was afraid that some of the tribe would escape to other Creek tribes, and encouraged those Creek tribes to attack the colony...

However, seeing the boys under his command throwing up one by one, Gelbin had to let the boys rest for a few hours. In the afternoon, I entered the forest and went to the Creek village...

However, they were still a step late. In the village, the elders in charge of staying behind probably guessed the result of the defeat, and had already fled away in a hurry with some middle-aged women who could run. All that was left in the village were old and weak women and children who couldn't run...

Facing the shivering old and weak women and children, Gelbin and the German Cossack boys were a little bit reluctant. However, the Zaporozhye Cossacks, who were used to robbers, were very experienced in dealing with them-they killed those useless old people and half-old boys who were taller than the wheels, leaving only women (including half-old girls) and children shorter than a wheel.

Although he felt very uncomfortable, Gelbin knew that as a Cossack, he had to adapt to such inhumane practices. Even, learn to do so in the future. Because, before he came to the Savannah colony, Marin once told him that colonization was always bloody...
