Chapter 522: Colonial situation (part 1)

Since the decision to suspend the Northern Expedition in 1771, the Cherokee people have begun to fully develop their internal affairs, but this does not mean that the stone bears are not paying attention to the movements of the Americans, British and French in the northeast.

   Compared with the Americans and the British, the French have become more and more silent in recent years. Moreover, in the original historical time and space, during this period of time, the French did nothing in the New World of North America, so Shi Xiong was only concerned about the French.

The French nowadays are nothing to the stone bears, even if the French, out of revenge for the Cherokee’s occupation of the Mississippi, once sent a fleet to bomb the Norfolk port, but was The Fourth Division stationed in the Norfolk Port sank two Tier 3 sailing battleships with shore-based 76mm mortars and fled in fright.

   But that attack also completely exposed the news that the Cherokee had an artillery with an effective range of more than two kilometers, which immediately aroused the coveting of several major military powers in Europe.

   After all, in this era, an artillery that can easily sink a sailing battleship two kilometers away is really jealous.

   For this reason, the British entrusted Colonel James Jones, who had returned to China, to lobby for the artillery production technology. After being completely rejected by Stone Bear, they sent Patrick Ferguson again.

Of course, as the hard-core brother of Stone Bear, as a true British gentleman, Ferguson, who has been promoted to major after seeing Stone Bear, did not mention it at all. After a few days of delicious food and drink, he took the inland river armed. The transport ship went upstream along the Ohio River and returned to the British colony.

   And the Spaniard shot Lieutenant Colonel Fernando Felisa, also trying to exchange this weapon at a high price.

  For the Spaniards, the bullet-throwing technique previously traded from Shikuma is really something they can’t put down. Although this weapon has a limited range, it is far more powerful than the shipborne artillery they use now.

   The Spaniards did not expect that a native of the New World in North America would be able to develop artillery with a longer range and greater power...

   Felisa's request was also rejected.

   Other weapons can be exchanged, but the mortar technology Shixiong will never take it out. At least in his lifetime, Shi Xiong did not intend to replace the technology of mortars, cannons and howitzers with longer range and more powerful cannons.

   The Prussians are also here, and the Austrians are also here...

   Anyway, the European powers who got the news sent people to lobby. Well, some countries are not here to lobby, but to threaten. For example, the Austrian.

  Although the Austrians at this time are not as powerful as the Habsburg Empire, they are also a prominent military power in Europe. So when the proud Austrian envoy came to the stone bear and wanted to threaten the stone bear, he was directly chopped off by the stone bear.

  Ishikuma's toughness also made European countries helpless.

Everyone now knows that an extremely powerful Indian tribe has appeared in the New World of North America, and this tribe has built a huge territory in just a few years, and the number of people controlled by it is as many as 1.5 million. .

   The most important thing is that this powerful Indian tribe also has an extremely powerful army. Even the most powerful British in North America dare not easily offend this tribe.

   Shi Xiong has begun to show his sturdiness in front of European powers.

   The French were so ashamed that they didn't dare to find fault, and the Austrian was helpless after facing his messenger being chopped off. Although they are strong in Europe, they are beyond their reach. They have nothing to do with the stone bears in the New World of North America.

   Not to mention the Spaniards, they have bullet-throwing skills, and they naturally know how powerful the artillery in Shikuma's hands is. It's just a fool to anger them!

   And the British, although they want to get this artillery technology, they really don't have this energy now.

   Now just the undercurrents lurking in the thirteen colonies in North America have already caused the British to be devastated. Compared with that artillery technology, the importance of the thirteen colonies in North America is obviously higher.

   After the Cherokee had built a huge territory, they went to lobby their original allies, the Shawnees. As a tribe that was originally extremely powerful, but now its strength has fallen a lot, the Shawnees are also extremely embarrassed when facing their allies, the Cherokee tribe.

   fight, scared to death, they dare not do anything with the current Cherokee. They knew very well that the current Cherokee only needed to send a thousand people to destroy them. But if they were to bow their heads to the Cherokee, they couldn't save the face.

   After all, more than two hundred years ago, they were extremely powerful in the eyes of the Cherokee.

   However, the Shawnee’s indecision did not dispel Stone Bear’s idea of ​​annexing this tribe. In the end, when Stone Bear dispatched the first division to the area where the two races bordered and raised more than a hundred hot air balloons, the Shawnees finally lowered their heads.

  Like the Pueblos and Choctaws, they eventually accepted the Cherokee reorganization.

   The Shawnee who was reorganized ~lightnovelpub.net~ became the eyes of Stone Bear in the thirteen colonies of North America.

  Because the Shawnee's sphere of influence includes the major colonies in the Northeast, it is best to let them monitor the British.

   Through the Shawnee people, the news was passed back continuously, coupled with the historical situation that Shi Xiong already knew, this made Shi Xiong very clear that the British now have no time to take care of themselves.

   In fact, starting from 1765 the second year after the stone bear crossed, the situation of the British in the thirteen colonies in North America began to become unsatisfactory.

   Although the Seven Years War with the French ended in the British victory, the war consumed too much energy and strength of the British.

  Under such circumstances, the British promulgated the infamous "Encampment Regulations" in 1765. At the same time, they also promulgated the "Encampment Regulations" which were unbearable to Americans.

   These two regulations ostensibly were laws drawn up by the British to further squeeze the North American Indians, but the actual victims were the 2 million British colonists in the thirteen colonies.

Although these two successive regulations were apparently aimed at North American Indians, when these two regulations were promulgated, all British colonists in the North American colonies discovered that the original family members would be so cruel. .

Quite simply, according to the content of these two regulations, if the Stamp Duty Regulations levied a high stamp duty on all printed materials in the North American colonies and met with all the colonial people’s resistance, then the Camping Regulations simply robbed them. ......
