The war in Northeast India has come to an end for the time being.
The British navy suspended its attack and did not attempt to retake the Lower Burma and Tanah areas.
While negotiating with the British, the Burmese secretly transported the artillery purchased from the Ba'ath Army to the front line.
The British hoped to ransom the prisoners as soon as possible.
In this way, after the reinforcements arrive, they will be able to attack Dhaka City with all their strength and strive to eliminate the main force of Myanmar in the Dhaka area.
After Shi Dakai conducted a sweep of Dhaka City, he left here with hundreds of carriages carrying all the property they collected in Dhaka City.
The city was officially delivered to Galoa.
However, at this time, except for the houses that could not be moved, almost everything else in the city had been evacuated by the Holy Army.
Except for the elderly and those who could not walk, all the people in the city followed the Holy Army.
Bangladeshis have a natural fear of Myanmar people, perhaps because both countries have done excessive things to each other in history.
They seemed to believe that the Burmese would massacre the city after entering it.
In the end, nearly 100,000 Bengalis left with Shi Dakai.
Among them, 20,000 young men were recruited into the Tiger Army.
General Hassan did a good job. Under his management, these Bengalis seemed very orderly.
Even during the really difficult march, there was no trouble.
Hassan's method is also very simple, which is to kill all those who disobey.
The rest of the people will automatically follow the rules.
Some of these Bengalis were responsible for helping the Holy Army drive the carriages, and many more could only carry them on their heads and shoulders.
They also had all the food they needed for the five days on the road with them.
Although Shi Dakai did not care about their food, the British had stored tens of thousands of tons of food in Dhaka.
Because of the need to transport property, all the food could not be transported on the truck. Shi Dakai simply let the Bengalis get the food by themselves as their rations.
In this way, this large team of more than 100,000 people marched toward the northeast.
Fortunately, two to three hundred kilometers to the northeast is the control area of the Holy Army.
They will travel north from Sirjar to the Assam region.
What makes Shi Dakai happy is that there are many craftsmen among these Bengalis.
Originally, most of the Bangladeshis living in Dhaka made a living by crafts.
This is exactly what Shi Dakai needs. Shi Dakai now has no shortage of farmers and soldiers, but skilled craftsmen are very scarce in Assam.
This time we also grabbed a lot of machines from Dhaka. Some of them were left behind by the British and they looked relatively new.
With these Bengalis, there are people who can operate these machines.
After Garaya settled in the Dhaka area, the entire East Bengal east of the river mouth fell into the hands of the Burmese.
The pressure in the southern part of the Holy Army-controlled area is now greatly reduced.
Shi Dakai just needs to do a good job in the area west of Guwahati.
This greatly improved the Holy Army's strategic situation.
The Prussian-Danish War in Europe was almost brewing.
An outbreak may occur at any time. The Kingdom of Denmark has sent its domestic army to the Schleswig and Holstein regions.
They are preparing to face the German Confederate army here. In fact, there is indeed a large army gathering on the opposite side.
Austria alone sent 15,000 soldiers, as well as 15,000 soldiers from other countries, plus 5,000 Prussian soldiers, a total of 35,000 soldiers, advancing toward the northwest in a mighty manner.
The Danes directly gathered 50,000 troops and pressed south.
At the same time, the Danish navy was also gathering in Copenhagen, ready to stab the rear of the German Confederacy from the sea at any time.
In North America, the riverside area between Kansas City and Wichita.
The war has returned to the state of small-scale sneak attacks.
The battle that just passed caused heavy losses to both sides.
Both North and South are using their own explosions to criticize each other's inhumanity.
This made the contradiction between the North and the South even more serious.
Even southern merchants were attacked in northern cities.
In the capital Washington, politicians from the North and the South are also engaged in a constant war of words.
Because of his outstanding performance in this war, Wall now became the deputy commander of the Confederate Army.
He was highly regarded by General Drayton.
Of course, in return, Yangtze Security continued to mobilize troops from California.
The total strength accounted for almost half of the Southern Army.
Anyway, these southerners are rich, and Yangtze Security can now eat and drink here for free and still receive military pay from the Southern Army.
Why not?
Dong Shuheng successfully borrowed chickens to lay eggs and fed an army in North America.
Recently, Yangtze Security even helped the Renaissance Army secure an order.
Fifty thousand f1853 breech-loading guns and 10 million rounds of ammunition. Now this kind of gun is no longer for sale.
Dong Shuheng was not at all opposed to the delivery of weapons to the Southern Army.
To strengthen the strength of the Southern Army, Dong Shuheng must do it.
In this way, the balance of victory will tilt to the south.
What would it be like if the Southern Army won the Civil War?
I believe that not only Dong Shuheng, but also friends in front of the screen will want to know very much.
By observing the operations of the Yangtze River security guards, these southern generals found that this breech-loading gun was more stable and had a faster rate of fire than the Prussian Dresser.
So they decided to order a batch of these guns from China through Yangtze River Security.
This can also be regarded as a reward for the Renaissance Army's always taking care of the business in the south.
In the past year, most of the immigration ships sent by the Renaissance Army to North America purchased agricultural products and industrial raw materials from southern states.
But trade with the northern states almost ceased.
This also allowed northern states to move in Congress and prepare to reopen the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Fortunately, the number of Chinese in the northern states is now very small.
Because the Chinese have already established themselves in California, they can find jobs and be allocated land there.
No Chinese are willing to go to the eastern United States anymore.
There are only some international students in schools in the northern states.
…
In the western part of Canada, groups of Chinese immigrants came here by boat.
Many Chinese were even transferred from Zhuzhou and Dongzhou to the eastern region.
The most prosperous region in Canada is the Great Lakes region on the border with the United States.
In comparison, the western region is much more desolate.
The original Mackenzie River and the area west of the Peace River were still a large swamp.
It was better in the winter, but now that it's summer, it's impossible to get a foothold.
At this time, the Rocky Mountains were still vast stretches of virgin forest, some extending towards the Greater Khingan Mountains in northeastern China.
The mountains here are not high, but they are continuous and all covered by forests.
There are simple trails opened by Indians between the mountains.
The roads were barely passable by horse-drawn carriages, but many sections were washed away by melting snow in the spring.
Many small cross-cutting ditches formed on the road.
The purpose of the road exploration team led by Zhao Xu is to repair these roads.
"Brother Xu, how long will it take us to reach Daze at this speed?" said one of the expedition members.
This is an expedition exploring from western Canada to the east.
They are composed of regular troops, militia, prospecting teams, logging teams, construction teams and hunting teams.
There are not many regular troops in this team of nearly 2,000 people. There is only one company, but the militia has one battalion.
After a settlement is established, the main task of the militia is still labor.
Routine security work can only be done by regular troops.
North America has already dispatched more than a dozen exploration and development teams configured in this way.
Their mission was to explore eastward to the Great Swamp region in central Canada.
The so-called Great Swamp Region is a series of lakes in central Canada after crossing the Rocky Mountains.
The Renaissance Army believed that it would be easier to develop farming there.
Although many places are swamps, the Renaissance Army has experience in managing swamps.
And they know that after these swamps are managed, they will become the most fertile farmland.
All the maps in Zhao Xu's hands were obtained from the acquired Hudson's Bay Company.
This company was originally established in the Hudson Bay in the east. Later, the fur resources there were depleted. In order to pursue fur, the company moved to the West Coast.
They once established a trading post in the central region, and the company has a map of the central region of Canada.
Not only that, the strongholds established by the British are also marked on the map.
With this information, the Renaissance Army's exploratory team sent out this time has a clear target.
The British power is now mainly concentrated along the shores of Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes region on the border with the Americans.
The central prairie and the area west of it are mainly the living areas of Indians.
There were only a few trading posts established by the British.
Further west, there are even fewer British people in the Great Swamp area.
This time the Renaissance Army is trying to establish settlements west of Da Ze.
The occupation of this place has become an established fact.
Zhao Xu is the captain of the expedition team and leads the entire team, including a regular army company and a militia battalion in the team.
"Ali, you are the most impatient. If you do this, I will send you to the front of the road construction team."
"At our rate, we should be there in five days." Zhao Xu carefully compared the map in his hand.
One day further ahead, they would be able to reach the Liard River.
The river was named by the Hudson's Bay Company.
Zhao Xu was going to find a suitable place by the river to build a dock and a transportation station, and then he was going to have the team roll the raft outside.
They can then take a raft and go downstream.
According to the map, this river joins the upper reaches of the Mackenzie River, and the junction is not far from Great Slave Lake.
When the time comes, Zhao Xu plans to build a settlement at the intersection of the two rivers. This place should be considered an important strategic location.
Through here, the Renaissance Army can control the entire Mackenzie River.
This method of controlling land was learned by the Renaissance Army from the Tsarist Russians in Siberia.
The Mackenzie River, like many rivers in Siberia, flows northward into the Arctic Ocean.
As long as the upstream area is occupied, there is no need to garrison in the downstream areas with harsh climate conditions.
In every summer, people would take boats and drift to the downstream areas to trade with the indigenous people and win over these indigenous people, thus effectively occupying these places.
Zhao Xu naturally didn't understand this, but the Renaissance Army had already formulated plans for these exploration teams.
Zhao Xu just needs to follow the plan and everything will be fine.
Of course, as an undeveloped and wild land, there are many unknown dangers.
This all requires team leader Zhao Xu to make an emergency decision.
According to Dong Shuheng, exploring North America is like playing Age of Empires.
The more wild a place like this, the more interesting it is. If it weren't for domestic affairs, Dong Shuheng would have wanted to go to North America and take charge personally.
