News of the defeat of the Continental Congress in New York City quickly spread throughout America.
People who were discussing this matter all the time.
In the eyes of those who yearn for Britain, the rebels in the Continental Congress have only a few days left to live.
And the copper dollar coupons they issued before this were turned into something worse than a pile of waste paper due to the defeat in the war.
But there are still people who buy these things.
In a tavern in a small town under Boston.
"Dexter, give up, the Continental Congress has lost, they are finished!"
"no, I can not!"
"Mr. Vinod is a good man. He once said that the Continental Congress would eventually win. These copper coins are proof that I support them!"
"Stubborn guy... If you are willing to buy it, I can give these to you for free!"
As he spoke, the man in the tavern took out a large bag of copper coupons and threw them in front of Dexter.
The people in the tavern laughed lowly when they saw this scene.
Dexter didn't feel the sneer at all, but gratefully put these expensive copper dollar coupons into his trouser pocket.
And said with great gratitude: "Thank you."
…
And on the other side, Virginia.
During George's absence, Martha read the newspaper every day.
This was one of the few ways she knew about George's condition. When she saw what was in today's newspaper, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.
A war broke out in New York City, and a large number of corpses of dead rebels were found in Long Island, Staten Island, Manhattan Island and other places.
According to post-war statistics, the number of casualties of the rebel army was approximately 15,000!
And terrible things happened on the battlefield.
The British Forces are a group of demons who drive ordinary people from New York City to serve as cannon fodder!
A large number of ordinary people wearing British military uniforms with their hands tied appeared on Long Island and Staten Island, and they were forced to join the battle!
…
When she saw the number of casualties of the rebels, tears welled up in Martha's eyes!
She was very worried about George's comfort.
George's sister-in-law Dani hurried in with a newspaper and looked at the tears on Martha's face.
Sister-in-law Dani picked up Martha comfortingly.
Silent tears flowed from the two people, the people closest to George.
"Sister-in-law Dani, I'm going to find George."
Danni looked at Martha in her arms. Although she also had this idea, she still shook her head and refused: "No, dear, it's too dangerous now."
"If George knew, he would blame me too."
"Sister-in-law, the two of us are going together. We have a security team, so there is no need to worry about safety..."
Martha looked at Dany firmly and persuaded.
Finally, Sister-in-law Dani decided to look for George.
A carriage soon left Mount Vernon, and they were about to go to New Jersey.
…
At this time, the west coast of America.
Richard also heard about the disastrous defeat of the Continental Congress in New York City, although the final result was a disastrous defeat for the Continental Congress.
But the British troops also paid a heavy price.
At least according to Richard's intelligence, after the war, the British troops withdrew from Manhattan they had captured.
Instead, they concentrated their forces in New York City.
Richard didn't know whether the French troops he aided had reached New Jersey.
But such assistance is obviously not enough.
They did not want to see the mainland rebel army decline.
Richard followed Louis XVI's wishes and was extremely eager to see the final victory of the Continental Congress.
Therefore, without any discussion or decision, Richard directly decided to assist the Continental Congress with more money and equipment to help the Continental Congress continue to maintain the war.
What they want to see is the final victory of the Continental Congress!
At this moment in North America, Long Yan City is outside this chaos.
After seeing the battle situation in the Mainland Congress, Qing Yangshuo frowned, snorted and threw the newspaper to the ground angrily.
Qin Changfeng was stunned. He had never seen Mr. Qing Yangshuo lose such a temper before.
"These hateful Britons!"
"They really dare to do it!"
Qin Changfeng picked up the newspaper, and the large and eye-catching characters immediately came into his eyes.
Although he is an immigrant from the Americas, seeing something like this happen, endless anger ignited in Qin Changfeng's brother!
"My lord, Britain is playing with fire."
"Let me lead the Long Yan Army. Someone must uphold justice in this matter."
Qing Yangshuo, who was equally angry, heard this and flatly refused: "No, the Long Yan Army cannot join the battlefield for the time being!"
"The Long Yan Army is to protect Long Yan's interests and people and help the Continental Congress fight. This is not in line with the program of our army!"
"And the Mainland Congress did not ask us for help."
"There is no reason for our troops to fight a war. Qin Changfeng's Longyan Army belongs to the Longyan people, and it is impossible to do things for personal likes and dislikes!"
Hearing this, Qin Changfeng sighed, but he had no way to refute.
Qingyang is absolutely right.
How could Long Yan's troops help a troop that had little to do with them like this?
It doesn't make sense either emotionally or rationally.
But what Qing Yangshuo said next made Qin Changfeng's eyes light up.
"However, if it is an individual's wish, we cannot stop it. If there are one or two thousand people who are willing to join the troops of the Continental Congress and fight with them."
"I, the Lord of Longyan City, can't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Qin Changfeng smiled slightly, stood up, bowed his hands, and turned to leave.
That day, a force of 3,000 Longyan elites rode fast horses to New Jersey to aid the Continental Congress.
…
At this time, General William in New York City was not satisfied with the victory in the battle.
As long as the Continental Congress does not surrender for one day, it means that they will have to fight for another day!
Now that New York City has been captured by them, he looked at the cities next to New York City on the map!
New Jersey!
That is the main location for their next battle!
From his arrogance and disdain, General William had already felt a trace of fear in several battles with the Continental Congress troops.
When he arrived, he thought the rebels in the Continental Congress were nothing more than a militia force.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
This unit showed amazing courage. It was able to fight tenaciously despite such a large disparity in strength!
And the more you fight, the braver you become!
It is said that defeat is overwhelming, but the mainland rebels, who had experienced several defeats, did not feel any sense of frustration at all.
This situation made General William feel terrible.
If it takes longer, if they are allowed to continue to grow, I'm afraid everything will be unknown!
"Tell Sheldon to quickly increase the number of troops. In the next battle, we will completely defeat the Continental Congress!"
