In the cold moonlight, four large ships of fifteen to six meters long and five to six meters wide docked on the banks of the wide Tennessee River.

These four ships docked at approximately the west of Knoxville, where the winding Tennessee River turned north-south. These four ships are docking on the east bank of the river, not far from here is Bison Ridge. The far north.

　　 It was midnight at this time, and the cold night wind made the high-hanging half of the moon in the sky appear colder.

　　 Dozens of oil lamps with glass lampshades were hung high in different positions on the four ships. Because of the barriers of the lampshades, the flames of the oil lamps were not affected by the night wind, and they were still burning vigorously.

　　 But these four ships are too big, even if they are connected end to end, the total length is sixty to seventy meters. These oil lamps can only illuminate some key places, and most of the four ships are still shrouded in moonlight, dim and difficult to distinguish.

There are soldiers of the French Marines on duty on each ship, but in this cold night, even these soldiers on duty can only hold their guns and hide in a sheltered place, relying on the ship board to block the cold night wind. .

　　 Brest, Roscoff, Lorient, and Le Palais are the names of these four inland armed transport ships.

　　 These four inland armed transport ships are all named after several small cities in the French Empire to commemorate their hometowns on the other side of the ocean.

　　 This kind of boat with a displacement of only tens of tons is not qualified to be named after those big cities or big people, but it still cannot stop French soldiers far away in the New World from naming these four boats after their home towns.

　　 This kind of armed transport ship is very useful in the New World. Before the French lost to the British, the entire Mississippi River basin was French territory. Although this was only claimed by them, it is undeniable that it is precisely with this kind of armed transport that French talents can travel on the Mississippi River. The two sides of the strait have a firm foothold.

　　The territory of the New World is too large, and the territory occupied by the greedy French in the New World is also too large. In French Louisiana alone, the straight-line distance from south to north has exceeded 4,000 kilometers.

　　 Such a large territory cannot be controlled by the cavalry, and the Native American Indians in the New World of North America also do not allow Vasicchu's cavalry to operate on their territory.

　　 Fortunately, there is a big river in the middle of the New World, and there is a Mississippi River that can directly lead from the Great Lakes area to the Gulf of Mexico.

　　 Relying on the channel of this great river, the French have completely established a firm foothold in central North America. Although it cannot be compared with the northern Canadian region, dozens of armed fortresses and hundreds of fortresses are enough for the French to control the roaring river steadily.

　　 And the means of transportation that connects dozens of military fortresses along the Mississippi River with hundreds of fortresses is this kind of inland river armed transport ship with a displacement of only a few dozen tons.

　　 Located in New Orleans near the mouth of the Mississippi River, it is the capital of French Louisiana. This city, built during the "Sun King" Louis XIV period, soon relied on the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River and became an important city in North America for the French Empire.

　　 The military fortresses and fortresses far in the north all use these inland river armed transport ships to continuously send all kinds of materials from New Orleans to the military fortresses and fortresses along the Mississippi River.

　　 If the Mississippi River is the main artery of French Louisiana, then these inland armed transport ships floating on the Mississippi River all day are the cells that transport nutrients.

These four inland river armed transport ships were originally pulling supplies to the upper reaches of the Ohio River to transport supplies to several other military fortresses. As a result, at Fort Auclone, the French Marine Corps who led a team to carry out the task of transportation was Constantine. The captain and the four captains were moved by Major Armand.

　　 Everyone knows that a lot of wealth is gathered in the tribes of indigenous Indians. From fur to gold and gems, they are all the favorite things of the French. These treasures are the wealth accumulated by a tribe over hundreds of years.

　　 If you really follow what Major Armand said, unwittingly take away an indigenous Indian tribe, then each of them can get a lot of money.

　　 In addition, the task of transporting supplies was not so urgent, so after discussing with the four captains, Captain Constantine decided to spend about ten days on the ticket.

　　 Ten days is nothing for a long-distance transportation. Starting from New Orleans, going upstream along the Mississippi River, and then transporting the supplies through the Ohio River to the Albany Fortress. The distance is close to 2,000 kilometers, and the whole journey is upstream again. Even if it goes smoothly, it takes 20 days to run this trip. time.

　　 If it doesn’t go well, it’s common to run for a month and a half.

　　 Therefore, it is quite a bargain to set aside ten days to make a windfall.

So Captain Constantine and the four captains who were persuaded ~lightnovelpub.net~ just took a hundred musketeers from Okron Fortress all the way up the Tennessee River, and received two more on the way. One hundred native Indians went deep into the depths of the Appalachian Mountains.

　　 Captain Constantine has no doubt about whether Major Armand can defeat the native Indian.

　　 The two hundred elite fighters of Native Americans will not be mentioned, just relying on the one hundred elite musketeers under Major Armand, Captain Constantine felt that there was no problem with this operation.

　　 That's a hundred veterans. The one that was fired by the platoon was called a slip. How could an indigenous Indian tribe with only a few hundred people resist the Musketeers of Major Armand?

　　 Especially when the soldiers of Major Armand landed in the morning, they encountered resistance from dozens of Native American Indians. Standing on the high deck, watching the Musketeers repelling the indigenous Captain Constantine with a single scope, I was more confident that Major Armand could completely dispose of the indigenous Indian tribe.

　　 Although the French Empire was defeated by the **** British in Europe, the soldiers of the French Empire on the New World are definitely not the ones that backward and ignorant natives can resist!

　　 Captain Constantine thought that Major Armand should lead his team to return at noon tomorrow or tomorrow afternoon. The fleet only needs to wait here overnight, and the next day will be able to make a fortune.

　　 So, after having a good meal with the four captains and a few loyal men in the evening, Captain Constantine arranged the soldiers on duty and fell asleep peacefully.

　　 As for whether you can dream of the bags of gold and gems in your dreams, then it is not known to outsiders...
