The Indians and the Chinese are both of the yellow race, so the Renaissance Army can adopt a strategy of assimilation towards the Indians.
There is no need to exterminate the Indians like the Europeans did.
Just like what was done in Chinese history. Many races living on the land of China cannot be found in reality now.
Records can only be found in history. Where have these people gone?
They were not all dead or moved away, but integrated into the Chinese nation.
The appearance of today's Chinese people is very different from that of the ancients.
What causes this? Is it a mutation in our genes?
No, it's because those disappeared ethnic groups poured their genes into the Chinese nation.
So, we are really a big family.
Zhao Xu led a large force and left the Hebend settlement on a wooden raft early the next morning.
They are racing against the British.
A race is underway to determine the division of land in Canada's regions.
Winnipeg is located in the south-central part of the British Empire's Canadian Governorate. It was a trade war between the British and the Indians in the prairie area.
This is located on the southeastern edge of Canada's central prairie region.
To the east is Ontario, only a few hundred kilometers away from the Great Lakes region.
In 1812, a group of Scots settled here.
Now the population here has reached eight or nine hundred people.
Of course, the British's efficiency in colonial immigration has always been very low.
Moreover, most of these British immigrants were concentrated in the Great Lakes region with better environmental conditions.
There is already enough land there, so who wants to go to remote areas in the north?
However, at this time, there was a team of immigrants gathered here that was similar to the local population.
This was one of the immigration groups that Governor Edmund Walker Hurd managed to put together.
After a short rest here, they will be escorted by a group of soldiers and head north to the Great Slave Lake.
Just two months ago, the British government suddenly sent an order to Governor Hurd by clipper ship, asking him to seize the time to establish a stronghold in the western region.
This order left Hurd a little confused. What's the situation? Now that we don't have enough manpower in the south, where will the people move to the northwest region.
Moreover, it is a bitter and cold place, and who would want to go there?
Now, in order to guard against the Americans in the south, the Governor-General of Canada must maintain a certain deterrent force in the Great Lakes region.
Naturally, such a large army must be supported by the people.
Who will support the army if all the people are moved away?
Not only Hurd, but also the upper class in Canada opposed the development of the Northwest Territories.
If the British were willing to go to the Northwest Territories, Tsarist Russia would have no chance to gain a foothold in Canada's Northwest Territories.
But because of Prime Minister Temple's tough tone in the order.
Sir Hurd still raided all the prisons and gathered together three immigrant teams of less than a thousand people in the name of exile.
They were quickly and simply armed.
These people will be escorted by the army to Prince Albert, Fort Wine, and Fort Reso Luxem on the south shore of Great Slave Lake.
Originally, these places could only be regarded as trading posts.
This time, the British were preparing to officially establish a town there.
"These damn yellow people, are there so many of them? Why are they everywhere?" Hurd complained at the Governor's Palace in Toronto.
"Yes, Mr. Governor, have you heard that in the Kansas area, during the ongoing war between the North and the South of the United States, there was a Chinese mercenary army. It is said that those people performed very well in the Southern Army."
The famous subordinates agreed.
Hurd naturally knew that the Americans were at war.
Although the U.S. government still does not admit that this is a war.
They thought it was just an internal fight among immigrants in Kansas.
Kansas is not yet an official state.
But according to people in Hurd, this war has killed and injured tens of thousands of people.
More than a dozen states from both the North and the South were involved.
They support their own faction one after another, providing money and people.
In the past few months, ships from the southern states sending cotton to England would bring back large quantities of arms.
With so many arms, what are they used for?
Of course it will be delivered to the Kansas area.
Compared to the wild lands in northwest Canada, Hurd pays more attention to the changes in the situation in the United States to the south.
Maybe we can create some trouble for the northern states, involve the power of the northern states in the United States, and give those American southerners an advantage.
Compared with the factory owners and capitalists in the north, the British certainly preferred the slave owners in the south.
There were great complementarities between the plantation economy created by slave owners and the British economy.
Now, a large part of Britain's domestic cotton depends on imports from the southern United States.
The high-quality and cheap cotton produced in these southern plantations greatly promoted the development of the British textile industry.
At the same time, the southern states were also the dumping ground for British goods. The southern states imported a large number of tools, cloth, and of course black slaves from Britain every year.
If the United States were divided between the North and the South, the British would definitely support the South.
At that time, in exchange, the British could even take back the northern states.
By then the entire Great Lakes region will be under the jurisdiction of the Canadian province.
Hurd has been the Governor-General of Canada for two years. If he can defeat the United States in office, it will wipe away the shame of the British's failure in North America for hundreds of years.
Then Hurd's name will surely be engraved in the history of the British Empire.
"Smith, of course I know about this. This Chinese army comes from the California area. In recent years, a large number of Chinese have arrived there. Damn it, it is not under our control. Otherwise, I would never allow so many
Chinese immigrants," Hurd said.
Regarding the current situation of the United States, Charles probably also knows that California has joined the United States, but there is still a desolate and vast central region in between.
The federal government has absolutely no control over it.
Now it is estimated that that place has been occupied by the Chinese.
Originally, the total number of white people in California did not exceed 100,000. But now the number of Chinese mercenaries sent to Kansas alone has exceeded 100,000.
So how many Chinese are there in the entire California?
It is really unimaginable how the Chinese immigrated so many people to the western United States in just one or two years.
Hurd didn't know that China's current population is dozens of times that of Britain itself.
Perhaps more than the entire population of Europe combined.
Moreover, stimulated by the policies of the Renaissance Army, even though so many people immigrated, China's population still did not decrease.
With continuous immigration, China's population has actually increased.
But now there is a problem, that is, the proportion of infants and young children in the total population is too high.
How to take care of so many children has become a problem.
Dong Shuheng posed this question to his daughters-in-law.
Now the Women's Mutual Aid Association of the Renaissance Army is encouraging unemployed women to open home nurseries. Anyway, when raising children at home, they can take care of one child or a group of children.
The mutual aid association will also help them apply for loans and repair the nursery grounds.
In this way, many women can be freed from their families to work in factories.
These families can send their children to those family day care centers.
The Chinese have taken over the sphere of influence of the Tsarist Russians in western Canada, and Hurd already knew about this.
But the geography and environment of the west are obviously far worse than those of the southeast.
At the beginning, the Tsarist Russians could only obtain profits by hunting furs there. The industry there was too single.
And now the high-quality fur resources there have been exhausted.
Although there are still a lot of timber resources there, the British have no shortage of them.
And to transport those things back from the West Coast, it would take a long detour.
Therefore, it currently cannot bring benefits to the UK at all, but will instead become a burden.
Hurd didn't understand why the domestic government would be so sensitive when the Chinese came.
Are they worried that these Chinese will threaten British rule in southeastern Canada?
The British have been operating here for hundreds of years, so how can their status be shaken by the Chinese who have just arrived?
For the several teams that went out this time, Hurd issued them with the best rifles in Britain.
And he told these people that whenever they encountered Chinese people, they would be driven away far away.
As for whether this would create disputes and start a war with the Chinese. Hurd was not afraid of such things at all.
Maybe in North America, the Canadian provinces can't compete with the United States, but if they can handle the Chinese, there should be no problem.
However, the team sent by Hurd was obviously not as fast as the Chinese.
When Zhao Xu led his people to build the Sancha River settlement at the junction of the Liard River and the Mackenzie River, and then went upstream along the Mackenzie River to the west side of the Great Slave Lake, he still didn't see it.
To the shadow of the British.
The order given to them by the headquarters was that they could continue to advance as long as they did not see the British.
So Zhao Xu took people on a boat on the lake and continued to explore eastward.
Finally, we saw a small British stronghold on the Slave River south of the Great Slave Lake.
This was a trading point established here by the Canadian Northwest Company.
The name of this trading point is Fort Reso Luxembourg. It was first established by the French and later transferred to the hands of the Northwest Company of Canada.
As a trading post with Indians, there were obviously not many British people here.
During the entire trade war, there were only a few hundred British people stationed there.
Naturally, they would not take action against these British people.
Similarly, these people will not pose any threat to the Trail Blazers.
"Let's also build a settlement on the south side of the lake." Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said.
After wandering around the lake for the past two days, Zhao Xu discovered that the Great Slave Lake was mostly surrounded by fertile swamps.
As long as you have time, dig drainage ditches and build some dams, these swamps can be turned into good farmland.
As long as food can be grown, more people can move here in the future.
However, although the British here did not pose a threat to the pioneer team, Zhao Xu ignored the prairie Indians living here.
At this time, there were still a lot of prairie Indians in Canada at noon.
They were already able to ride war horses, they grazed cattle on the grasslands, and they forged arrows with iron tools obtained from the British.
They are closely connected with the Central American Indians.
These nomadic Indians once caused a lot of trouble to the Americans who expanded into the central part of the country.
They are very aggressive.
The reason why the British stronghold is allowed to exist here is also for the needs of trade.
In fact, they are the owners here.
Now that Zhao Xu and his gang appear here, can these prairie Indians tolerate it?
Will the British who are familiar with these people sow discord and kill people with a borrowed knife?
