Chapter 496: Royal Driving

Because of the preparations made by the logistics camp of the Western Expeditionary Army, there was no trouble in the relocation of the royal court this time.

The tribesmen who moved over quickly entered the designated area. If the future Indian empire can really be established as one wishes, then these tribes will be the first batch of imperial capitals.

With better brick-and-concrete houses, Shi Xiong does not need to engage in any royal tents.

Moreover, there is also an alchemist who is proficient in architecture among the eighteen arhats. Under his leadership, this "giant bear palace", which replaces the Cherokee royal tent, is now being built tensely and methodically. It is expected that this area will occupy The huge building complex with an area of ​​200,000 square meters will be completely completed in two years.

However, part of the buildings in the Bear Palace are now available, so as the chief, the Stone Bear family moved here.

Here, Shi Xiong also met the British alchemist Richardson, who is proficient in architecture.

It's also a coincidence that this Richardson's ancestor was specialized in the construction industry, and his grandfather even participated in the construction of Buckingham Palace. Richardson's father also participated in the construction of many famous London buildings, which can be described as a family origin.

Only in his generation, he has two older brothers above him and a younger sister below him. As the third child in the family, he was trained as a famous architect since he was a child. It's a pity that when he was twenty-four years old, he suddenly became fascinated by the mysterious alchemy and the alchemy of electricity.

According to him, he became fascinated by the alchemy of lightning after seeing the lightning rod test conducted by Benjamin Franklin in Boston in 1752. Especially when Franklin was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, he became more obsessed with this aspect.

In fact, given his wealth, it doesn't matter even if he is obsessed with alchemy. After all, although his family is not a huge wealth, it is definitely a middle-class figure in London.

It's a pity that this kid did too much, he even wanted to follow Franklin's way to install lightning rods in buildings.

If it were other buildings, it was fine, but he aimed at Buckingham Palace.

You must know that Buckingham Palace at this time was not yet the British palace, but it was already the private residence of King George III of the United Kingdom.

But Richardson turned his idea on Buckingham Palace.

He wanted to install a lightning rod in Buckingham Palace without permission, but he sneaked in, and then installed a lightning rod in the west building of Buckingham Palace in the dark.

As a result, I don't know if the wire used as the fluid is too thin or other reasons. In a thunderstorm, the lightning rod did indeed lead the thunder down, but the wire used as the fluid was burned instantly.

This result was that the thunder broke out in the corner of the top of the West Building of Buckingham Palace, which not only shocked George III, who was resting in the palace at the time, but also successfully caused a fire...

Thus, the disaster of innocence landed on Richardson's head in this way.

As the culprit, he was arrested. Originally, according to the law at the time, he would be sent to the gallows, but Richardson's father almost emptied all of the family's property, which bought the justice, and finally Richardson was sentenced to exile in Maryland in North America. It is worth mentioning that before the outbreak of the Independence War, the United Kingdom exiled about a thousand criminals to Virginia and Maryland in North America each year.

This incident happened to be known by William Hank. Hank also knew that the big man far away in the New World needed talents, especially the alchemist, so he paid for Richardson and guaranteed him. Will definitely send Richardson to the New World.

In this way, Richardson became one of Shixiong's eighteen arhats.

After that incident, Richardson also fully understood that some things could not be done too much. It just so happened that the giant bear palace was going to be built here, so he volunteered to undertake the design and construction of the giant bear palace.

Not to mention, Shi Xiong is still very satisfied with Richardson's design. Of course, Stone Bear also combined the styles of many famous buildings in later generations, and gave Richardson some very useful suggestions. Finally, after several months, Richardson came up with this design and passed it. Shixiong agreed.

The main body of the Bear Palace is still under construction, but some annexes have been completed.

In addition to the annex where the Shixiong family lived, the temporary offices of the White City Alliance and the Red City Alliance were also placed in several other completed annexes.

Of course, with the continuous acceleration of the construction of Shangjing and the continuous production of various building materials, the office locations of both the White City Alliance and the Red City Alliance will be replaced in the future. There will be many more distinctive buildings throughout Shangjing.

After the new home was settled down, Shi Xiong worked for a few more days, and finally handed over all the resettlement and replanting matters to the leaders of the White City Alliance. He personally led the 1,000 Guards and carried them. Twelve completed hot air balloons and other materials, take forty inland river armed transport ships along the Mi River south, and turn into the Red River at the confluence of the Mi River and the Red River, and then go upstream along the Red River. Finally arrived at the junction of Texas and Oklahoma.

As for the other 1,000 Guards, they were rushed to the area by land. The main responsibility of this part of the Guards was to transport horses.

This area was originally the junction of the four tribes of Osaki, Kiowa, Comanche and Pueblo (PS: also called Pueblo) in this era.

But now, both the Osages and the Kiowa have been conquered by the First Division, and now the First Division is going south again to deal with the difficult Comanche, so a logistics camp was established in this area. .

The supplies of the soldiers of the First Division, part of the Second Division, and the Third Division were transported here by ships along this route.

Although the road from Shangjing to here is the shortest way~lightnovelpub.net~ can go at the speed of an ox cart, it takes a month to walk over a thousand kilometers! Therefore, it is better to go around the waterway.

Although the water route is five or six hundred kilometers farther than the land route, it can't stand the water route fast. If the waterway goes smoothly, it will be there in ten days, no matter how slow it is, it will not take more than half a month.

The most important thing is that the waterway here is suitable for this kind of inland river armed transport ships, so Shi Xiong will choose to go to the front line by water.

Stone Bear stood on the bow of the ship, with Tep squatting beside him, watching the Green Skylark standing on the pier holding Hekal and shaking his hand vigorously. Although Stone Bear felt reluctant, he waved his hand firmly in the end.

This time, I will take the Comanche and the Apaches in one go. As for the Pueblos living in the later generations of New Mexico, if they are honest, if they are not honest, they can also be taken directly.

As long as the Great Southwest is calmed down, the Grim Bear Army can free up its hands against the tribes in the north!
