New Shun 1730

If you only attack others but the other side cannot retaliate, you cannot understand the preciousness of the word "peace".

Although the Acadians only went through a winter of reorganization, the damage they caused to the New England region was shocking.

On the one hand, they have both revenge and guns provided by Dashun, and they also have quite good individual quality.

Secondly, Dashun used the very sophisticated "sea nomadic tactics" that was first tried in Japan and then used after the Java Volcano Uprising.

Relying on France's control of the sea power in the Gulf of Maine, these Acadians' forest infantry can land anywhere in the New England region.

If there are few people, just fight.

After the fight, ambush the rangers who come to support quickly.

After the ambush, continue to attack and burn the town, and then get on the ship and run away.

There are gunners provided by France, indigenous scattered soldiers from the west coast provided by Dashun, and discipline that has been regularly trained for more than half a year.

It was easy for these people to beat up the militia and rangers in various towns, especially under the conditions of plain battle formation.

To deal with them, only lobster soldiers could be dispatched.

Lobster soldiers can fight in the field. Before, in Ohio, General Braddock was hacked to death because he mistakenly used the skills of plain field battle in forest battle.

However, lobster soldiers are definitely no problem in plain field battle.

But the problem is that the essence of this "sea nomadic tactics" is to use mobility to run away.

For example, a 600-man battalion-level Acadian assault force cannot be defeated by ordinary militia and rangers.

Even if lobster soldiers are deployed, at least 2,000 or 3,000 people must be dispatched for multi-way siege.

Especially after the assault force where Joseph Godin was located ambushed Moses Hassan's Ranger Company, or Ranger Company, in the forest, the lobster soldiers had to gather a large number of troops to go out of the city to clear out.

In this battle, Joseph Godin completed his revenge.

More than 200 rangers were surrounded and annihilated, only more than 30 escaped, and the rest were all killed and skinned.

This battle can also be regarded as the turning point of the "Arcadian Revenge War".

Although in fact only more than 100 people were killed, the three words "turning point" are worthy of it.

Because the military instructor of the Acadians was from Dashun.

The military instructor of Dashun was from the New School.

The thinking of the New School after the military reform, from Liu Yu's luring the enemy to a decisive battle at the northern foot of the Altun Mountains, to the suppression of resistance in the Western Regions against the siege of several times the number of rebels, to the "center blossoming" tactics of the southwest reform, is basically the same.

Take this battle as an example.

If Moses Hassan's rangers, more than 200 people, withstood the siege and ambush of the Acadians and won the arrival of the main force of Boston's lobster soldiers, then the stuck Acadians would have no way to escape and would definitely suffer heavy losses.

And if this is the case, the Ranger Company of more than 200 people can run around and catch the Acadians. They just need to stick to the Acadians and wait for the arrival of the main force.

Then the revenge guerrilla warfare of the Acadians will face a great test.

The problem is that Moses Hassan did not withstand the Acadian forest infantry supported by the Dashun scattered soldiers and French artillery.

So the situation changed.

For example, when the Acadians besiege the town again, should we rescue or not?

If we rescue, because of the previous lessons, we know that we cannot advance in small numbers and must gather thousands of people.

And gathering thousands of people requires time, food, supplies, and coordination, which takes time. And once the number of people exceeds 2,000, coupled with the problem of ambush, the marching speed will inevitably slow down.

When they arrive, the town will be burned down.

And the lobster soldiers only know how to fight in a regular battle, and they need to rely on the local Rangers to go forward, chase, stick, capture, and block.

However, after Moses Hassan was skinned, the Rangers dared not attack in small numbers, which meant that the Rangers, who were originally used to cover the flanks, conduct forward reconnaissance, stick to the enemy, and cover the forest, could only follow the main force of the lobster soldiers and move seven or eight miles ahead of the main force.

Another thing is that the Acadians' revenge team did not touch the lobster soldiers at all.

If they were too numerous and could not defeat them, would they not run away? There were forests everywhere and the population was so sparse that they could run away as long as they ran to the fleet landing point on the seashore. Why did they have to fight the lobster soldiers head-on?

In theory, the home-changing tactic can also be used to fight back. But the farming in the Annapolis Valley last fall made the Acadians' "home" in the Annapolis Valley.

If you want to change your home, you can, let the British Navy send a fleet with battleships and then take down Louisburg, otherwise you can't change it.

The lobster soldiers could not catch the Acadians' revenge team, and the Acadians did not touch the main force of the lobster soldiers.

It was to burn the town, wheat, houses, and New England militia.

Especially with the rubber and Shaanxi oil provided by Dashun, which was called "Eastern Greek Fire" by this group of people, it was really convenient to burn wooden houses in North America.

The militia and rangers in New England were all locals, and they all had families.

Haverhill was burned today, and Amesbury was burned tomorrow. They all had families. These New England militia and rangers had no intention of following the lobster soldiers. They all ran home to protect their families and industries.

This led to the Acadians' revenge team to act more smoothly.

What is the Acadian revenge team afraid of? What they are afraid of is being caught and stuck by the organized rangers and local militia, and then being followed and surrounded by the lobster soldiers.

But now, the local militia and rangers have gone home, what else is there for the Acadians to fear?

The lobster soldiers lack the local rangers and cannot catch these Acadians at all. They are terrified every time they cross the forest because the lobster soldiers lack the skills of forest warfare. If they had the skills of forest warfare, the 44th and 48th regiments would not have been stolen from the flanks by the Indians in the forest in Ohio, and the heads of the main generals would not have been chopped off.

This makes the lobster soldiers move more slowly.

And the lobster soldiers move slowly, so these revengeful Acadians will defeat them one by one and attack small towns and villages.

No one is not afraid, even if people hide. They don’t beat people, but burn houses, wheat, mills, and manors.

And the lobster soldiers going out of the city to "suppress bandits" will bring new problems.

As Franklin said: The army of his own country, burning, killing, looting, killing innocent people for merit, is not even as good as the French.

The lobster soldiers are all the commander's men, and they can be regarded as standard "thieves' army". They have no money - who would join the army if they have money? In Britain, being a soldier is different from being an officer, and the difference is huge.

Historically, in Boston, why was the British army so disliked by Bostonians? Because the British army was too poor, they went to carry the work, robbing the jobs of the local city citizens, or rolled up, and the city citizens were quite dissatisfied.

For such an army, since it went out of the city to "suppress bandits", the military discipline can be imagined.

[I came from England and Ireland, thousands of miles away to help you fight the French and Indians, and eat a broken turkey from your house, and you are complaining? ]

[I came here from England and Ireland, thousands of miles away, and went out of the city to suppress bandits, isn't it for you? I stayed at your house at night and just touched your girl, and you complained? Is it that serious? 】

It can be said that as the Acadian War continued, a local idiom or proverb that originated in Germany during the Thirty Years' War and finally completed its final form here - soldiers passing by are like combs, enemies passing by are like combs - finally appeared.

And Dashun helped print a lot of "manifestoes" - this is the tradition of Dashun. Before doing anything, especially fighting, you must first "legitimately".

As soon as the manifesto came out, it was prepared to talk about the tragic fate of the Acadians, saying that all problems originated from the invasion of the New Englanders, and resistance and revenge, since you think it is just, then let you see what revenge is.

So, with the help of Dashun, as the towns in the coastal areas of New England were burned one by one, and a large number of rangers were skinned by the same revenge...

This group of people in New England who were obsessed with the integration of politics and religion for 150 years finally understood the weight of a word.

It turns out that the word [peace] is so beautiful?

It turns out that fighting has costs. If you don't beat the enemy and get beaten back home, you might die.

Generally speaking, this truth, that is, "If you fight others, you must be prepared to be beaten back and your whole family killed", is self-evident in Europe, Asia, and even Africa.

Only in North America, they have to re-experience, comprehend, and learn this truth, or the truth summed up by thousands of years of history in Asia and Europe.

Obviously, this "education" is very effective.

…………

When the North was beaten to the point of killing the whole family and burning the house.

The central and southern parts were generally peaceful.

By August, the last unsuccessful Philadelphia Conference had laid the foundation.

With Dashun's help in the slave uprising in Jamaica, the revenge of the Acadian War, and the attack on the southern plantations to rescue slaves as brick walls.

This second Philadelphia Conference was much smoother.

So much so that before the trade ambassador of Dashun arrived, the representatives of the southern states and the big landowners and businessmen in New England took the lead in attacking the group of land speculators and organizers of the Ranger Company who were causing trouble.

Henry Middleton, a large plantation owner in South Carolina who served as the chairman of the Second Continental Congress in history, took the lead in firing.

He represented the big businessmen in the North, smugglers, old landlords, and southern plantation owners, and attacked the representatives of Virginia who came to the conference.

Including the head of the Virginia government, Robert Dinwiddie, and the military leader of Virginia, George Washington.

The reason for the attack was simple:

Damn it, this war was started by your [Ohio Land Speculation Company] in Virginia. If you win, you get millions of acres of land; we get nothing.

Originally, you fought whenever you wanted, thinking that it was your business if your state wanted to fight. Anyway, it seemed that you couldn't attack our state.

But what about now? The Dashun gang doesn't care if you are from Virginia, we are from Carolina, or they are from Pennsylvania. They retaliate indiscriminately. They burn houses today and save slaves tomorrow.

You Virginians are responsible for this, right? You can't deny it. It's your [Ohio Land Speculation Company] that caused it on the border.

It's not just him who is criticizing. There are actually three large land speculation companies in Virginia.

And another land speculation company called [Virginia Loyalty Company] was stabbed by the Ohio Company before the war. Not only did they not get the benefits of the hanging hair, but they also took revenge on the Indians after finally occupying some land in the west. The company went bankrupt.

This [Virginia Loyalty Company], although not as well-connected as the Ohio Land Speculation Company - otherwise it would not have been beaten to death by the Ohio Company's business war - but it is not a soft persimmon, and there are still a lot of British brigadiers and hereditary aristocrats standing on the platform.

Several shareholders of the Loyalty Company also stood up and criticized the Ohio Company: bleeding thirteen states and enriching their own land.
