Super Chief

"You mean you can't collect enough food from those civilians to ask me to ask for food from those civilians?" Shi Xiong squinted at the thin lieutenant who was a head shorter than himself, with a face. Asked with a ghostly expression.

"Lieutenant Alphonse, are you sure you want me to ask for food? Please, I am only responsible for pulling the food away this time. This is the order from Major Armand. But you have to ask me to collect food. If you don’t know the people in your fortress, if I ask them for food, how can they give me food?"

An awkward expression flashed across Alphonse’s face, but then he said with certainty: “Chief Strong Bear, isn’t there nothing I can do? You know, not only our army is stationed in the fortress. There are also people sent by the great domestic nobles. I have jurisdiction over those common people, but for those great nobles."

　　 Alphonse shrugged, "I don't have any right to govern them."

　　 "You can't control those nobles?" Shi Xiong expressed his disbelief again, "You know, in New Orleans, under the management of General Claire, no one there dared to disobey the orders of General Claire."

　　 When Alfons heard this, he believed the big man again. Since Governor Francois, who had been stationed in New Orleans the year before, left New Orleans, General Claire has been the highest officer of New Orleans. People who live in New Orleans would not know this at all.

　　 After all, even a lieutenant like Alfons was very dissatisfied with the emperor's practice of secretly giving New Orleans to the Spaniards from his own country. But he was just a small lieutenant officer, and he knew he could not change the situation in front of him.

　　 Of course, Alfons naturally did not know that the information about New Orleans was interrogated by Stone Bear from Major Armand’s mouth.

Alphonse smiled bitterly and said: "Chief Strong Bear, to tell you, if the major is still there, those guys will still obey the major's orders. But now that the major is not there, my order is a joke to them. "

"Huh, there are people like this?" Shixiong pretended to be angry. "Major Armand led the brothers to resist the Cherokee attack hundreds of miles away. Now the major just wants to Just ask for a little food. The people behind you not only don't support it, but even dare to pull your legs. This is simply a treachery! After I see Major Armand, I will definitely report everything that happens here to the Major."

Alfons shrugged again, "Chief Strong Bear, it's useless to be angry with me. There are six noblemen in the fortress. The masters behind them are noblemen who dare not offend the major, so They will be so unscrupulous. But Chief Strong Bear, you have a military order to collect food written by the major in your hand. I think if you take this military order to find those guys, they will not dare to disobey your order. It’s really not possible. You can order your people to forcibly collect the food in their hands."

After a pause, Alfons motioned to Shi Xiong to bend down, and then leaned into Shi Xiong’s ear and said softly, “As far as I know, the food stored in the hands of these nobles is at least 30,000 pounds. Grain solicitation. Well, I mean you can take the order signed by the major to solicit food and forcibly collect the food hoarded by those people. After all, your identity is different from ours. We also need to taboo the nobles behind those people, but you don’t Taboo these"

　　 Ishikuma thought for a while, and asked simply: "Are you sure if I take my people to collect food for these people, they will not resist, and the soldiers in your fortress will not attack us?"

"I don't know if they will resist, but I can guarantee that our soldiers will not take action." Lieutenant Alfons looked at the big head with a smile, and then whispered: "You have so many strong fighters under your hand. , And they all have muskets, those vampires dare not resist you"

"Okay! I'll take this matter! If I can collect enough food from their hands, then I won't buy the rations for my brothers!" Shi Xiong deliberately said the word "collection" very seriously. Lieutenant Alphonse naturally understood what it meant, and he smiled.

　　 "Don't worry, Chief Strong Bear, my soldiers will never hinder your people from collecting food. I can guarantee this!"

Shi Xiong nodded, then put his right index finger and thumb into his mouth, and blew a very loud whistle, and then made a few gestures. In the next moment, more than forty people came down from the four ships. Soldiers carrying guns, there are only five soldiers on each ship guarding the ships.

　　 Watching these intrepid men walking down from the boat carrying muskets, although Alphonse felt that the Native Indian anti-musket scene was a bit out of the way, he was still happy.

　　As an officer who has been stationed in the fortress for three years, and as the confidant of Major Armand, Alfons naturally knows how much the Major hates those **** vampires. Those guys relied on the support of the nobles behind them to stir up the wind and rain in the fortress all day long. Sometimes they didn't even listen to the orders of Armand Young Master, which made the major very angry.

　　 But there is nothing to do with anger, Alfons knows that his boss can't provoke the nobles behind those guys, so sometimes the major can only hold it back.

　　 It's okay this time. The major is not there. It is undoubtedly an excellent way to let this group of natives deal with that group of vampires. The major was afraid of the nobles behind them, but these natives would certainly not be afraid.

　　 Although the appearance of these indigenous people carrying guns is a bit unharmonious, and their team is also crooked, but Alfons can clearly feel something called "murderous intent" from these indigenous men.

　　 Obviously, these indigenous men are all ruthless characters who have seen blood. And their identity is destined that they will not be afraid of those vampires.

　　 It would undoubtedly be a great thing if the **** vampires could be cleaned up with the help of these natives.

　　 Forty native men with guns just walked in front of Alfons, and when the big man with a frightening build also moved, Alfons followed.

　　 "Chief Great Bear, don’t you know how things are going on in New Orleans?"

　　 Shixiong tilted his head and glanced at the lieutenant, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this fellow deserves to be favored by Major Armand, and this caution alone is enough to explain this fellow's military qualities.

"It's still like that. Since Governor François left New Orleans, the Spaniards have not sent a Governor. Therefore, it is not easy to say who New Orleans belongs to. But New Orleans has General Claire sitting in the town, and there is no chaos there. ."

　　 The big man’s answer reduced Alphonse’s doubts again.

　　 Speaking of New Orleans, this extremely beautiful city for later generations is actually full of tragedy.

　　 Hurricane Katrina, which swept across the entire Gulf Coast in later generations, caused the city to suffer a catastrophic disaster. That hurricane called the catastrophe of the century not only allowed Americans to see the power of a Category 5 hurricane, but also frightened the people living in this city for fear of another Hurricane Katrina.

　　 So, the population of this city began to lose a lot. In just a few years, the population of this city dropped from nearly 800,000 at its peak to less than 400,000.

　　 Of course, this is a matter for later generations. In this era, the city is also full of tragedy.

　　 It is well known that when the French entered the New World of North America, they were not in the southern part of the New World at the beginning, but in the later Canada.

　　The French empire of this era was called "the first French colonial empire" by historians in later generations.

　　 The first French colonial empire originated in the era of great navigation. In those days, the French, who had always considered themselves the bosses of the European continent, certainly would not have watched Spain, Britain, and the Netherlands play in the New World, so the French set their sights on the New World on the other side of the ocean.

　　 In 1534, the French explorer Jacques Cartier led an expedition fleet across the turbulent Atlantic Ocean, and finally sailed into the Gulf of St. Lawrence in eastern Canada. Then, in the name of the King of France, he declared the occupation here, and the colony of New France appeared.

　　 It's just that the French immigrants who first came to New France did not have a good life. The winter here is too cold and people often freeze to death. Moreover, these immigrants also clashed with the local Indian tribes, that is, the Iroquois. This conflict has lasted for nearly a hundred years and has worsened the situation.

　　 So in the sixteenth century, New France had only a few fur merchants who had a brief seasonal exchange, and there were no permanent residents.

　　 Throughout the sixteenth century, the American continent on the other side of the ocean has been under the monopoly of the Spanish. In the late sixteenth century, the civil strife caused by France's defeat in the war of religions made the French leaders realize that France must now establish its own colonies overseas.

　　 So France targeted the fat-belly Spaniards who ate on the American continent.

The French, who have always considered themselves the bosses of Europe, attempted to colonize Brazil in the early days, and invaded Rio de Janeiro and Saint Louis in 1555 and 1612. However, due to the guard and deterrence of Portugal and Spain against France, France became a colony. The invasion of Florida and North America failed.

　　 In desperation, the French people remembered that they had built the new France that they had established in Quebec a long time ago.

　　 So on July 27, 1605, when France established the Port Royal in Nova Scotia, it opened the prelude to the first French colonial empire. A few years later, French explorer Sam de Champlain established Quebec City near the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River. This colonial city became a colony dominated by fur trade.

　　 The establishment of Quebec City made it the center of France and North America.

However, Quebec is at a high latitude. There is cold winter for six months a year, and there is no way to grow food in winter, so although Quebec City was successfully established, it has always been in a kind of grandma not hurting uncle. To the point of unloving, whether it was Louis XIII or the first twenty years after his son Louis XIV became the king of the sun, these two kings were indifferent to New France and Quebec City.

　　 It was not until 1663 that Louis XIV, the Sun King, announced the establishment of the New France region as a province under the jurisdiction of the king, and then sent troops to quell the hostile Indian forces and control the grain-producing areas of the St. Lawrence River Basin.

However, although Quebec City was forgotten by the King of France for a long time, the people here were not willing to sink. Among them, many explorers drove ships up the St. Lawrence River upstream to the Great Lakes region, and started along the Ohio River and Mississippi River. All the way to explore the central and southern parts of the New World.

　　Later Louisiana was established by the French in this way.

　　 In 1682, French explorers La Salle and Cavillette descended from the upper Mississippi River to the lower Mississippi Plain, and they immediately declared a large area including Louisiana as a French possession. With the support of the sun king Louis XIV, the fortress was gradually built and armed.

　　Oclone Fortress was built during this time period.

　　 After Lassalle led the expedition fleet to reach the mouth of the Mississippi River, he did not establish a city here, but only declared that this large area belonged to France, and then returned to Quebec City with the fleet.

However, in 1718, another French explorer, Jane Baptist Bienville, once again led a fleet to reach the mouth of the Mississippi River, with the cooperation of a local Indian tribe named Chikmon. , A colonial city was established on the only high ground at the mouth of the river.

　　 In order to please the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV, Beanville named the city "New Orleans".

　　 Because this city is adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico in the south and the Mississippi River in the north, and the waterway transportation is extremely convenient, this city quickly became the capital of the entire French Louisiana.

　　 But the composition of the first batch of residents after the opening of the city was quite unbearable, almost all of them were contract slaves, orions, gold diggers, and cleaners, while the women were all technical girls.

Although a large number of nuns swarmed into the city later, the wild and unruly character that New Orleans established from the beginning has taken root in this land, plus the extravagance of the French court from top to bottom. , New Orleans has become the most extravagant and corrupt North American colony of French upstarts. "Big Joy" is succumbing every day~www.readwn.com~ is deteriorating day by day, turning a deaf ear to foreign affairs, and even ignorant of my own destiny quietly changing hands.

　　 At this time, the expansion of the British in North America and Europe was very powerful. For this reason, the French also broke out with the British for Seven Years' War.

However, the rotten French were not rivals to the emerging British. At the end of the Seven Years’ War, the French had a foreboding that the war might fail, so in order to curb the expansion of the British in North America, the French secretly and Spain People have forgotten.

　　 On November 3, 1762, the French handed New Orleans as a political gift secret to the Spanish in a paper of the Fontainebleau Agreement. The poor New Orleans who patronized the happy New Orleans were still in the dark.

　　 However, the Spaniards also saw the weakness of the French. Although they were jealous of the bustling New Orleans, they did not take over the city in the first time. It was not until the French were completely defeated in the Seven Years' War that the governor sent by the Spaniards was long overdue.

　　 When the first Spanish governor arrived in New Orleans, three years had passed since the signing of the Fontainebleau Agreement.

　　In other words, the city of New Orleans has had no parents or mothers in three years.

In addition, half of New Orleans' French Louisiana was sold to the Americans by Napoleon at an average price of $7 per square kilometer in 1803. The city suffered two fires. It was built by the French that year. The buildings were all burned down in these two fires

　　 I have to say that this city was full of tragedy from the very beginning.
