In order to transfer the huge amount of property lost in the Seven Years' War to the colonists in the North American colonies, the British authorities first promulgated the "Registration Regulations" and sent 10,000 soldiers to the 13 North American colonies under the pretext of targeting North American Indians. .

　　 You said that these ten thousand soldiers are soldiers of your British Empire, and your British Empire should be responsible for the food, drink, and sleep of these ten thousand soldiers, right?

　　No, the weird British Empire is not willing to spend even this little money. The Garrison Regulations they promulgated clearly stated that the ten thousand soldiers are here to protect you, so the houses, food and other living materials of the ten thousand soldiers must be settled locally.

　　 The regulations are simple to put it bluntly, that is, after these 10,000 soldiers come to your North American colony, they can live in the homes of local residents, and the local residents also have to take care of eating and drinking!

　　 Don't care about it, you really think these ten thousand soldiers are muddled...

　　 So, the colonists of the 13th colony, especially those living near Boston, were miserable. They had a very tight life, and they had to provide accommodation and food and drink for these soldiers.

　　 But this is not the end. After these soldiers were stationed there, the British government promulgated the more notorious "Stamp Duty Regulations" to further squeeze and exploit colonial colonists.

　　 This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

　　When these colonists in the colony saw it, the British government was not here to help them, it was simply trying to kill them.

　　 So, in 1765, actions against local tax collectors and tax bureaus quickly spread across the thirteen colonies in North America.

Although due to the resolute resistance of the colonists, the "Stamp Duty Ordinance" was abolished within less than half a year after being implemented, but this also allowed the colonists of the North American colonies to completely open the prelude to the British authorities... .

　　 The British government saw that the "Stamp Duty Ordinance" could not be enforced. Where can I do it? Lao Tzu wants to break a penny and use it as two pennies. You are a group of poor people living so moisturized in the colony. This is not okay. You have to find a way to pay out of your pockets.

　　 So, those lofty politicians turned their minds, and they came up with another bill, the more wicked "Townsend Tax Law."

　　 I want to say that Townsend is also a great figure in this era. He is the Minister of Finance of the British Empire, and he is in charge of the financial power of the entire British Empire.

　　 Under the encouragement of this guy, in the second half of 1767, the British Parliament passed four bills to tax the North American colonies in a row. These four bills stipulate that all paper, glass, lead, paint, tea and other materials exported from the United Kingdom to the colonies shall be subject to high import taxes. The history is called the Townsend Tax Act.

　　 As soon as the "Townsend Tax Law" was promulgated, the colonists in the North American colonies immediately exploded.

　　 Damn, I just abolished the "Stamp Duty Regulations" that you stunned, and you made a **** "Townsend Tax Law", what do you mean? Do you want Lao Tzu to live?

　　 I didn’t say anything, keep on doing it! Isn't it just tearing, ah!

　　 So, the colonists of the thirteen colonies in North America once again united, and vigorously joined the British authorities.

　　 After more than half a year of resistance, the British authorities could not resist it, so they were forced to abolish the Townsend Tax Act again in March 1778. However, in order to show that Britain has the right to tax the colonies, it still retains the tea tax. The tea tax also became the fuse of the Boston Tea Incident in 1773.

　　 However, although the "Stamp Duty Ordinance" and "Townsend Tax Act" were successively abolished by the colonists through violent and uncooperative means, the notorious "Registration Ordinance" has never been abolished. The Red Shrimp Soldiers dominate the colony and cause anger and resentment.

　　 The colonists in the colony have been fighting against these red shrimp soldiers, and their dissatisfaction is getting higher and higher. This kind of dissatisfaction is like a balloon that is constantly inflating. Then, after the balloon was continuously inflated for five years, it finally reached a critical point on March 5, 1770. The result was that the balloon "banged". It exploded...

　　 On this day, the British soldiers stationed in Boston clashed with a local rope maker. As a result, all the rope workers in Boston united and confronted the Red Shrimp soldiers guarding Boston Customs. In the panic, the Red Shrimp Soldier did not control himself and fired. As a result, three people were killed on the spot, six people were injured, and two injured died of serious injuries and then died.

　　 Five killed and four injured in a conflict. This is the famous "Boston Massacre"!

　　The most important thing is that among the five dead, there is also a black leader who was born as a plantation slave!

　　 This time, the British soldier stabbed a hornet's nest. As news of this tragedy spread, the entire North American colony was boiling.

　　 When the British authorities saw that this was not possible, they had to arrest the culprit eight British soldiers and one officer, and were charged with murder.

　　 Then there is a trial.

　　 It turned out to be dumbfounding. These British soldiers and the British officer were acquitted of the British soldier who shot and killed the British officer and the British officer under the defense lawyer's clever defense!

　　 What is even more speechless is that the lawyer who defended these British soldiers and the British officer was named John Adams.

Well, it was the leader of the independence movement and the signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was respected by the Americans as one of the "Founding Fathers", and later became the successor of the first US President Watsonton. Guy...

　　 Although the Boston Massacre did not cause a greater conflict, it caused the colonists in the North American colonies to completely lose confidence in the British authorities. And at this time, the colonists of the North American colonies established a communications committee and began secretly fighting against the British authorities.

　　 Especially when the Boston Tea Incident broke out in 1773, it brought the relationship between the North American colonies and the British authorities into an invisible abyss.

　　 In order to show their strong attitude towards the tea-pouring incident, the British authorities promulgated the intolerable "Intolerance Act" in 1774, which directly led to the outbreak of the War of Independence the following year.

　　 These things, Shi Xiong had already known about these things in his previous life. Shi Xiong knew all kinds of events that happened in the past ten years.

　　 It's just that he had known these things in history books before, but in this life, he got the definite news through the Shawnees and the clansmen in the colony.

　　 And now, it is the spring of 1775. If history hasn’t gone wrong, then after several years of tormenting wars, the relationship between the colonists in the North American colonies and the British authorities has deteriorated to the extreme.

　　 Then, on April 19 of this year, this string that has been tense for several years will be completely broken with the shot of Lexington.

　　 This is the best opportunity Shixiong has been waiting for!
