When Stone Bear and the others passed by Richmond, they did not enter Richmond, but whizzed past Richmond Fortress.

　　 But even so, the British soldiers stationed in Richmond were very nervous.

Richmond is not the capital of the later American state of Virginia. This military fortress, which was established in 1733, has only developed for more than forty years. It has only developed into a small village based on the Richmond fortress. Its scale is not only Not as good as Williamsburg and Jamestown, and even Yorktown, which is at the mouth of the York River, is far inferior.

　　 There are only a few hundred British troops stationed in Richmond. It serves as a bridgehead protruding to the west of Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown to provide early warning for these three important cities to the British.

And now, the independence fire has swept through the entire 13 colonies of North America, especially the Continental Army, which has engulfed some scattered Indian tribes fighting, which made the British soldiers stationed in Richmond think that the stone bears were helping the Continental Army. Native Indians.

　　 Located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the James River, this military fortress is a must pass to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. However, Stone Bear and their destination was not a British city, so after bypassing Richmond, they chose a slower section of the James River on the north bank of the James River to cross the James River, and then continue to the east. Go ahead.

　　Walking along the wider and wider James River to the southeast, reaching the mouth of the river, we arrived at Norfolk, the eastern capital of the Yanhuang tribe.

　　This is actually the location of the Norfolk Naval Port in the later generations of the United States.

　　 When Stone Bear led the Expeditionary Army to the East of the Poitans, Colonel Jones asked for this place at the mouth of the James River. At that time, this place was still a savage area, and there was only a small tribe of Pamanji people here.

At that time, the relationship between the Cherokee tribe and the British was very good, and at that time, the colonists of the thirteen colonies in North America did not have such a rigid relationship with the British, so the Cherokee tribe was building the eastern capital of Norfolk. At that time, I also got a lot of help from the British.

　　 A few years before the construction of Norfolk, the Cherokee people in Norfolk had a very busy transaction with the local British. Cigarettes, refined salt, alcohol, and oils produced in the Gaoshu tribe are extremely popular in this area.

Of course, at that time, the British and the transactions between the colonists and the Cherokees in Norfolk were mostly scattered transactions. It was the Cherokees who took out the salt, cigarettes, and alcohol that they could not use. Vasichu's transaction is not very large.

　　 Large-scale transactions were monopolized by Colonel Jones and later Baron William Hank. Later, as Colonel Jones left Jamestown and the large-scale deal with the Cherokee tribe, Baron Hank was completely in the hands of Baron Hank.

　　 However, when Stone Bear decided to set up a shipyard in Norfolk eight years ago and secretly research new warships, it became a military forbidden area. Although there are more than 30,000 members of the Yanhuang tribe living here, the Fourth Division of the Grim Bear Army led by Dahe has also been stationed here, making it a very large gathering place with close to 50,000 people living, but the Yanhuang here In the past eight years, the tribesmen have never traded privately with the British.

　　Stone Bear’s order is very strict. People living in Norfolk are forbidden from contacting Vasichu. Anyone who dares to violate this prohibition, if not said, will be sent to the mine to serve for five years by soldiers of the Grim Bear Army!

The prestige of Shixiong in the tribe is naturally needless to say. The ban he personally promulgated was complied with by most members of the tribe. However, some tribesmen who were greedy for petty and cheap did not abide by the ban at the beginning, and were immediately taken by the Fourth Division. The soldiers arrested a lot, and then all the tribesmen were honest.

　　 In fact, these people living here can be said to have no worries about eating, drinking and wearing. Although Norfolk, the eastern capital, is close to the sea, the soil and water are fertile. Whether it is growing food or hunting and fishing, there are excellent harvests here.

　　 And in order to build this port city well, when the royal court of the Cherokee tribe moved to the capital, this is the place where the whole tribe fully supplies. It is no exaggeration to say that the supply of supplies in Norfolk is not even worse than that in Beijing.

　　The reason for this is that Shixiong wants to build a seaport city with strong defense and military power here in a short time, and build it into the first seaport of the Yanhuang tribe on the Atlantic coast.

　　 The strong supply of these years has not been in vain. Now the eastern capital of Norfolk has a certain scale, and the defense work has been perfected with the efforts of the soldiers of the Fourth Division.

　　The range of the eastern capital of Norfolk starts from the Nansimund River in the west and reaches the coastline in the east. Its core location is near the Elizabeth River.

　　 The Nansimund River to the west is the first line of defense in the eastern capital of Norfolk, but this line of defense is more of a vigilance. After all, starting from the Nansimund River to the east, the area of ​​this area is close to one thousand square kilometers. Such a large area obviously cannot be fully guarded.

　　 So, with the help of this river located at the mouth of the James River, it is good to establish a cordon.

　　 As for the real defensive core, it is on the banks of the Elizabeth River further east.

　　 In fact, the core of the later American Hampton Anchorage, that is, the Norfolk Naval Port, was built with the Elizabeth River as the core. Since the Americans in the previous life did a good job, Shixiong didn't mind carrying the American practices. After all, the former Norfolk Naval Port is so famous~lightnovelpub.net~ There is a suspension bridge on the Nansimund River, this bridge is used to transport supplies. Because the Yanhuang tribe does not yet have the ability to transport supplies to Norfolk by water, so the transportation of supplies to Norfolk can only be carried out by land.

　　 On this sling bridge, Shixiong met the generals of the Fourth Division who had been stationed in Norfolk.

　　The teacher is Dahe.

　　 Dahe was formerly the Qukui with the highest strength among the four warriors of the Crooked Ear Tribe, Qukui, and later joined the expeditionary army. Because of his steady personality, Shi Xiong was appointed as the logistics supervisor of the expeditionary army.

　　 Dahe did a very good job in this position. Later, after the Expeditionary Army expanded into the Grim Bear Army, Dahe became the commander of the Fourth Division.

　　 are the first group of people who followed Shixiong, and they did a great job. Shixiong has no reason not to use them.

　　Because of his stable personality, Dahe was placed in Norfolk by Stone Bear and guarded Norfolk here.

　　 Although stationed in Norfolk, he could not fight with the stone bears in the north and south, and could only be aggrieved near Norfolk, which is not too big, but Dahe and his Fourth Division have always done well.

　　 For eight years, he was motionless. In addition to completing daily training tasks, he was a good guarantee of the safety of Norfolk.

　　 Therefore, even if the Fourth Division did not participate in the Cherokee expedition, their contribution is not small at all.

　　 Just look at Norfolk in front of you!
