The battle that took place in early August was short and intense, but it really scared the British and the Continental Army.

The British warships used to wander around the estuary of the Elizabeth River twice from time to time. After all, the British knew that the Yanhuang tribe possessed some good things, and they were also wondering what the mighty chief did in Norfolk. So, these The British sailors relied on their own sturdy and fast sailing battleships, always wanting to pry into the secrets of Norfolk.

　　 It’s just that the British know that they can’t have a relationship with that powerful Indian tribe now, especially after the **** Continental Army rebels, they need the help of this powerful Indian tribe even more.

　　 But after that battle passed, the British realized how stupid they were at the beginning.

　　 People don’t even look at their sailing battleships at all.

　　It’s also fortunate that Norfolk, who didn’t rush into the Indian tribe, would have been the first to sink the battleship in the Elizabeth River channel. It would definitely not be the French battleship, but the British sailing battleship...

　　 As for the Continental Army, they were also terrified.

　　 South-central is their base camp. At this time, they are at a great disadvantage in the northern battlefield, so their senior leaders are trying their best to win over that powerful Indian tribe.

　　 It's just that those Continental Army soldiers who are at the grassroots level don't understand. What is worthy of being attracted to an indigenous Indian tribe.

But when that battle was over, a rumor spread quickly among the grassroots of the Continental Army—the native Indians must not be provoked. If you encounter those native Indians, you'd better turn your head and run away, otherwise Your scalp will be cut off by them...

　　 Well, scalping was first done by Indians. When Europeans came to North America, they were often stripped of their scalp by the native Indians.

　　 After the founding of the United States, the Americans began to scalp the Indians in turn.

　　 You stripped you anyway, I stripped mine...

　　 But in this era, the Indians' scalping and deterrence are still relatively powerful.

　　 The effect of this slaughter of chickens and monkeys was good. At least until September, Stone Bear never saw the British warships appear again at the mouth of the Elizabeth River.

　　 Even if there are warships or transport ships entering and exiting the Simbulshur Strait, these British ships will try their best to enter and exit along the northern part of the strait, and no ship dared to cross the center line of the James River mouth.

　　 This has solved Shi Xiong a lot of trouble.

　　 After more than a month of testing, some of the problems that can be solved are basically solved, and the problems that cannot be solved need breakthroughs in other technologies to solve them.

　　 For example, mechanical lubrication and sealing, which requires a breakthrough in the research of petroleum by Bill Gates.

But even if some problems could not be solved, Carlos slipped out of the Chesapeake Bay on a sunny and sparse night in September, and entered the Atlantic Ocean for a real sea trial. .

　　 But the result of this sea trial is not very satisfactory.

　　 Perhaps because of the higher salinity of seawater, the leakage phenomenon in the sea has become more and more serious in the place where the water was only slightly seeped in the freshwater river. Therefore, the Carlos only strolled in the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the night, and had to return quickly.

　　 If you don’t return to the voyage, it is estimated that the engine room will be filled with sea water...

　　 Carlos’s first sea trial can be said to have ended in failure.

　　 But Shi Xiong became indifferent after a brief period of depression.

　　 In this era, it’s great to be able to get a real steam-powered ironclad ship into the water, OK? Do you still expect this ship to reach the level of World War I?

　　 Although Shi Xiong is confident to do this, he also knows very well that this is definitely not something that can be done in the past year or two.

　　 However, there is still enough time anyway. The British and the Continental Army will fight for at least another seven years. If they provoke more of them, the duration of this war will probably be extended.

　　 In other words, there are at least seven to ten years left on my side.

　　 So Shixiong is convinced and convinced that when this independence war is over, it will be the time when the Yanhuang tribe’s iron-clad warships will cross the world!

Stone bear stayed in Norfolk until the end of September, and then returned with a group of guards. After living in the Gaoshu tribe for another half month, he took his wife and children on a boat before the autumn wind cooled down completely. Returned to Shangjing.

　　The ironclad warship is important, but it is not as important as the development of the entire tribe.

　　 In order to conquer the tribes in the Great Lakes region last year, Shi Xiong had not been in Beijing for more than a year to deal with all kinds of things. If it hadn't been for Qiao La Klulu to have the ability, I am afraid that the capital has been messed up by this time.

　　 Now that I know that the ironclad warship can not be completely perfected in a short time, Shixiong calmed down and began to shift his attention and energy to the development of the tribe.

　　 Not long after returning to Beijing, a great news came back from the north.

　　 The soldiers of the first division and several mixed divisions, after more than half a year of conquest, have completely calmed down the north.

　　 The Cree, the largest and most populous tribe on the North American continent, has almost been completely subdued. Except for a very small number of Cree people who continued to flee north, the Yanhuang tribe gained a population of no less than 150,000 in the Cree tribe alone~lightnovelpub.net~Similarly, the people in Blackfoot were also completely destroyed. Conquered, and the Crooks, who had fled to the northwest before, obediently surrendered after dropping more than a thousand bodies.

　　 So far, the entire New World of North America has fallen into the hands of the Yanhuang tribe, except for the thirteen colonies that were scorched by war and a small area on the west coast.

　　 The overall situation is set!

　　 Although there are still Inuit and other Crees who fled northward in the northernmost part of the mainland, Shi Xiong does not intend to attack them.

　　 The conditions in the north are so bad that there is no practical significance for occupation. Although the north produces precious metals such as gold, silver, brass, and oil, it is not something that can be developed now.

　　 So, before the winter, the soldiers of the First Division, who had been fighting outside for nearly two years, returned to Beijing first.

　　 The first division is the main force in the main force of the Grim Bear army. If the Grim Bear army is a great axe, their first division is the sharpest axe blade. The first division was used to attack fortifications. Now that there are no more fortifications in the north, the soldiers of the first division can come back and repair.

　　Shixiong attended a large-scale bonfire dinner for the soldiers of the First Division and personally awarded medals to the soldiers with outstanding merits.

　　 Then, before the winter completely entered, after Shi Xiong arranged the security and defense work in various places, he watched the dog biting the dog in the thirteen colonies while devoting most of his energy to the development of the tribe.
