"300 people...that should be a colonial group, right?"
After listening to De Pierre's report, Marquis Marina did not doubt that the Apache mathematician Eagle had counted wrongly. Because according to the information he has, a colonial group of the United States of New Zealand consists of approximately 300-600 people.
If there are more people, eating will become a problem!
Although the land in North America is relatively fertile, but things like farming may... God rewards bread, it depends on whether God rewards it or not? The land in the Great Plains of North America is fertile and the climate is moist, but it can sometimes get extremely cold in the winter and there are hurricanes in the summer. If the cold wave in winter comes earlier, or if the hurricane in summer blows more fiercely, it may cause the colony to lose its harvest!
In this case, the newly arrived immigrants are likely to starve to death collectively because they do not have enough accumulation!
In the early years when the colonies on the east coast first opened, many colonies ended up dead due to super cold snaps and hurricanes. On the contrary, the west coast where the Chinese landed has a better climate. It is very warm in winter and very cool in summer. There are no hurricanes or cold snaps. Moreover, the terrain is not open and cannot raise too many bison, so there are not many Indians... ..And the Indians there have not had much contact with Westerners, so they are very backward and cannot defeat the Chinese colonists carrying flintlocks and dragging cannons!
I have to say that God still takes good care of these Chinese people who "discovered Him"...
But no matter how much you take care of them, you won't be able to open a back door to protect them from the cold snap on the Great Plains, right?
Therefore, they should not dare to send a colonial group that is too large... If the colonial group is not large, they can still obtain food by hunting bison when the food harvest is exhausted. If there are too many people, there won't be as many bison for them to eat.
And according to intelligence, the Chinese colonial fortresses in the Rocky Mountains only have a few hundred residents... Even this small number of people is not enough to provide supplies for the large number of immigrants heading eastward.
Therefore, Marquis Marina believes that the Chinese colonial group heading east will not be too large. Even if it exceeds 300 people, it will definitely not exceed 3,000 people.
"We are going to dispatch 3,000 people! 1,000 of them are French, the remaining 1,000 Apaches, 1,000 Soviets... Do you know what 1,000 is? 10 for 100!"
At an urgent military meeting, Marquis Marina announced the scale of the troop dispatch to Mad Bull, the leader of the Plains Apache tribe, and Steel, the leader of the Lakota tribe of the Soviet Union.
He planned to use 3,000 men to annihilate the 300-man colonial regiment of the United States, which should be foolproof.
Before his words could be translated into Apache and Lakota, Steel, the young leader of the Lakota tribe, began to speak fairly fluent French.
"Of course I know how much 1,000 is!" This young and strong Indian with very regular features and piercing eyes told Marquis Marriner in French, "I can count, and I can also do addition and subtraction, and even... Can do multiplication!”
He can even do multiplication, he is so knowledgeable... Marquis Marina nodded in admiration, the great Soviet Union is about to rise! There is such a powerful leader, who not only can speak French, but can also do addition, subtraction and multiplication... By the way, can he do division? If you can, it will be even more powerful!
After de Pierre translated the Marquis's words into Apache, he said to Marquis Marina: "Marquis, the Soviets are more civilized and stronger than the Apaches because they have learned more from us. Things. Among the Iron Chief's tribe, there are even immigrants from France who joined them because they married Soviet girls. It was from this French immigrant that the Iron Chief learned French and some simple mathematics."
Because the French could not gather enough immigrants, and they could not turn the nomadic Soviets into serfs (it is easier to conquer farming peoples, but it is difficult to conquer nomadic and nomadic peoples), so they and The relationship between people in the Soviet Union is relatively harmonious. He exported a lot of technology to the latter, and some French tramps who couldn't find wives married Soviet women and joined the Great Soviet tribe...
Marquis Marina smiled and nodded, and then said to the Steel Leader: "Chief, after we defeat our common enemy, I would like to invite you to visit New Rome... That is a real heritage. The cities of European civilization will stand in the New World for thousands of years!”
Steel also nodded, "I accept the invitation because I also want to see what New Rome looks like!"
It seems that this is still a great Soviet man who has opened his eyes to see Rome.
But first he had to see not Rome, but...the nomadic United States! At least 150,000 Americans!
150,000 is more than 300!
However, the eagle warrior of the Plains Apache is actually not that bad in mathematics. Although he does not know what the number is over 300, he can still find some ways to express it, such as: like the bison on the Great Plains. many!
And the reason why he said 300 is because at that time he encountered a patrol sent by King Huai of the United States. The number was only a few dozen, but because one man was equipped with two horses, it looked like there were many, so he was counted by the Eagle Warriors. There were 300 people.
At that time, the two sides only had a face-to-face meeting, and there was no exchange of fire, so they both returned to report.
This time, the "French-Soviet Army" numbering as many as 3,000 (really 3,000, Marquis Marina counted them one by one) left Fort St. Louis and walked west along the Missouri River for five days. The warriors of the Soviet Union and Apache rushed back to report.
"Marquis, they are here. They are still one day away from us and are heading along the big river (Missouri River)!" The steel leader of the Soviet Union informed Marquis Marriner of his findings in French quickly and urgently. .
"We attack immediately!"
In the early morning of April 15th, Marquis Marina, who had just finished breakfast and was about to set off, made an immediate decision. He looked at Steel and Crazy Horse and said, "I hope you can capture as many enemies alive as possible... I will provide a musket for every captured Chinese in exchange for them, but it must be alive!"
Of course he wanted to capture those alive not because he believed in God and was unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but because he had to exchange Chinese immigrants for captured French, Dutch, and New Spanish sailors... The problem now is 300 There are not enough people to replace so many captives!
So when leaving the camp, Marquis Marina secretly prayed to God, hoping to encounter more enemies, more enemies...
The 3,000 people were quickly assembled. The Marquis of Marina ordered the Apaches to open the way forward, and he led the French army and the Soviets led by the Steel Chief to advance together, following the Apaches about three or four miles away.
After walking westward for about five hours along the river that meandered through the great plains, the Marquis of Marina felt a little hungry and wanted to stop and start eating. The big steel leader who was riding alongside him suddenly took hold of the reins and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Marquis Marina found that the young Indian leader had stopped moving forward, so he turned around and asked.
"There seems to be a herd of bison in front of us, a large number...moving towards us!"
"What?" Marquis Marina was stunned. Just as he was about to ask the Iron Leader what his plan was, the sound of a gunshot broke the tranquility of the grasslands on both sides of the river.
Marina quickly reined in the reins, then listened carefully, and gradually heard the thunderous sound of hooves, and then the sound of flintlock guns fired one after another. Marquis Marina's expression suddenly changed. When he heard this sound, he knew that it was the Apaches who were opening the way ahead and encountered the United States colonists advancing eastward... But the problem was that the thunderous hoofbeats were so dense that The continuous gunshots didn’t sound like 300 people! Not only is it not like 300, it seems to be more than 30,000!
How many people have come from China? What do they want to do?
