528 Colonists

America can be said to be a paradise for colonists.

Because there are vast land and abundant resources here, and more importantly, the Indians here are basically unable to resist them.

Whether it is the Aztec Empire or the Inca Empire, they are basically primitive countries that cannot be built without cold weapons, let alone other Indian tribes.

It seems like this is a paradise specially built for the colonists. They can do whatever they want here, and do whatever they want.

Of course, paradise is for the colonists, and for the Indians here, the colonists directly turned their homes into the abyss of hell.

If the Ming Empire had not appeared, their tribes, countries and even civilizations would have been destroyed by the colonists.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is here.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has helped the Sioux and Apache tribes to regain the territory seized by the Spanish, and the Spanish have temporarily stopped and will no longer invade northward.

So, what about the other colonists.

While Lu Xiangsheng was also building a city near the mouth of the New Liao River, he was also inquiring about the strength of the Dutch, British and French.

The Apache tribe, Cherokee tribe and Iroquois tribe knew that the Ming Dynasty was going to help them recover their territory, so they naturally tried their best to help.

Soon, news from the east coast of America began to gather in the new Liaoyang City under construction, and Lu Xiangsheng also continued to report to the city of Lakota.

Taichang gradually gained a rough understanding of the strength of North American East Coast colonists.

At this time, he realized that the most powerful colonists on the North American continent are not the Netherlands, nor the United Kingdom, but France.

The British came early. Around the 16th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the British established the first colonial stronghold on the east coast of North America, which is the so-called New England.

However, until now, the British had three colonial strongholds established in North America, one was Virginia and the other was Carolina. These two strongholds and the New England stronghold were also sandwiched between the Dutch's New Amsterdam stronghold.

In other words, the Dutch and British spheres of influence were only a narrow area of ​​about 300 miles wide and less than 2,000 miles long.

Moreover, at this moment, the British did not have many troops in North America, with a total of less than 10,000, and the Dutch had even fewer troops, roughly two or three thousand.

The French are amazing.

The so-called New France colony they established almost encompasses half of Canada in later generations. Moreover, their power has almost spread throughout the Great Lakes region and has even begun to extend to the Mississippi River Basin, the New Liao River Basin.

How could France be so powerful? Isn’t France a slap in history?

Actually, he made a mistake.

The reason why he thought France was not good was probably because France was fucked by Germany in more than a month during World War II in history.

People in the world may mistakenly think that such a chicken can be so powerful?

Actually, France is not a dish.

At least it was not a dish in France during the colonial era.

Not to mention that the First French Empire, which almost conquered the entire continent, the Bourbon dynasty was not weak at this moment.

France is the core of the anti-Habsburg alliance at this moment. It can be said that if Spain fights on land, it is not necessarily possible to beat France at this moment.

Historically, the Habsburg dynasty in Spain was basically destroyed by the Bourbon dynasty in France.

At this moment, the Spanish king Felipe IV was only known as the king of the earth, while the French king Louis XIV was directly known as the Sun King!

The country that occupied the most colonies in North America in history was actually not Britain but France.

At that time, New France alone accounted for almost half of Canada, while Louisiana, named after King Louis XIV of the Sun, directly accounted for half of the United States.

As for why France was defeated by Germany in more than a month, it was probably because of the common problem of colonists or robbers.

What is the common problem of colonists or robbers?

Simply put, it’s crazy biting!

When a certain colonist or robber becomes stronger, he will catch and bite whoever he wants and bite him.

As they bite other colonists or robbers, they will unite to bite the strongest one down.

Gu Shi

This is how colonial powers in history have been bitten.

For example, Spain.

Spain was really powerful in the early days of the Great Disaster, especially after he swallowed Portugal, it can be said that half of the earth was a Spanish colony.

That guy, when he became strong, he was so crazy to bite whoever he caught.

As a result, the powerful Spain was bitten by almost all countries in the continent.

Next is the Netherlands. It was not ordinary strength during its strongest period, and the reputation of the maritime overlord was not fake. Nearly three-quarters of the ocean-going ships in the world belonged to them. It is conceivable how strong the Netherlands was at that time.

That guy, he caught someone and bites him. After biting Spain, he then bit off the British and French.

As expected, the result was that as soon as Britain, France and Spain joined forces, they bit him over.

Next is France.

When the King of Sun Louis XIV emerged, France was not ordinary.

Spain was bitten over by them, the Netherlands was bitten over by them, and Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, etc. were also bitten over by them.

Later, Napoleon, the emperor of the First French Empire, almost stepped on the entire continent.

As a result, almost all continental countries formed the anti-French alliance and rushed up to bite it to the ground.

Next is the UK.

It is almost everyone knows how powerful Britain was when it was the most powerful.

The Empire that the Sun never set was not blown out. At that time, British colonies were really spread all over the world.

As a result, he was defeated by his American colonies.

At that time, the United States had a total force of more than 10,000 troops, while Britain sent 90,000 troops.

As a result, the defeat was the Empire that never set!

Why?

Because all countries in the continent are supporting the United States!

It is said that during the War of Independence, France sent more troops than Britain. France directly sent more than 100,000 troops to help the United States fight Britain, the Netherlands, and Spain. These overlords who were trampled by Britain in the past could not help but send troops to avenge them.

As a result, the Empire of Sun never set was bitten over.

This is how the colonists are. When they get crazy, they bite them all, no matter who you are!

For the sake of profit, even if it is an irreconcilable enemy, they can join forces, and even their closest allies can be slapped.

The situation is that Spain, the old overlord, has already set in the sun, and European countries such as the Netherlands, Britain and France are rushing to bite them crazy.

The most powerful of these countries is actually not the Netherlands, but France.

Because no matter how many Dutch tower ships, gunboats, warships and armed merchant ships there are, they will be able to be majestic at sea.

On land, France's strength is almost as strong as Spain, and the Dutch are nothing at all.

You know, the Spanish Army is currently equipped with an army of 300,000, while the Dutch navy and army totalled less than 100,000.

As for France, the army has at least more than 200,000!

Taichang also understood the situation in North America when he saw the situation. The Netherlands and Britain seemed not enough. Their biggest enemy should be France at this moment.

Because France has more colonies in North America than the Netherlands and Britain combined.

This is the manifestation of his strength.

This is how colonists are, and their size is determined by their strength. The stronger their strength, the more territory they occupy.

In other words, the stronger the strength, the more benefits you get.
