The battle of Pensacola lasted only one morning, and by the afternoon, the limited resistance of the British army had completely collapsed, with more than 600 British casualties and more than 1,100 prisoners. The town of Pensacola also fell into the hands of the Don Army, and the locals were mainly of mixed Spanish and French descent, known as the Creoles. The number of British was relatively limited, and the whole town was only a few hundred people, which was not as large as the number of British troops stationed here.

As the capital of West Florida, Pensacola is what this bird looks like, Liu Fangwu knows that he can't expect much, but he can't help but sigh as the capital of a town in Datang. On the contrary, the Pensacolans did not have much resistance to the occupation of the Don army, they themselves did not have much closeness to Spain and France, and the British were even outsiders, and now they only had another master, which did not prevent them from continuing to live here. Pensacola was a fortress of fixed trading posts where Alabama Indians often traveled south to trade, and whoever controlled the city needed to communicate with the local Creoles who spoke Indian and English, French, and Spanish.

Even the Clio people still have some good feelings towards the Tang people, because unlike the armies of all European powers in this era, the Tang army is really emphasizing discipline and execution, although there is still some distance from the realm of not taking a stitch from the common people back then, but because of the proper restraint, so after the Tang people captured Pensacola, they did not carry out the routine raid of the European army on this town. In order to use local resources for supply, the Tang army bought some fruits, meat and grain from the locals, unlike the British army or the Spanish army directly using the requisition model, the Tang army calculated the value of all the materials very openly, and then paid the local people the Tang peony silver dollar.

At the very least, this army is more reasonable. Moreover, when the Tang army attacked Fort George during the day, the sound and light of the earth-shattering artillery made the locals tremble, and such a war was beyond their normal cognition, so they were also extremely afraid of the Tang people.

Fort George, which the British, had already been destroyed. Except for some military supplies salvaged inside, it is impossible to continue to live in it. On the contrary, the British army still had some simple houses to live in, which were not destroyed in the war. In order to maintain the presence of the Don army in this area, it was necessary to build new defensive structures in Pensacola.

"Although we need to be kind to the prisoners, it is not too much to use the prisoners of war, and there are more than a thousand Britons, so we should organize them into construction teams. Work with us and let them go back when the war is over. Adjutant Liu Zhenlong suggested to his brother-in-law loudly.

For this suggestion. Liu Fangwu did not resist, he nodded and said: "In the final analysis, our manpower is still not enough, the Navy and the Army now add up to more than 2,000 people (two Navy frigates are now in Philadelphia), and the transport fleet has brought a large amount of supplies, but the crew is relatively limited. We need to build a sustaining base in Pensacola, and our troops still have a mission, and we need to destroy several coastal forts around West Florida, and we can't have troops stationed in multiple places, but we can't have the British in Florida at the same time as us. We can only use the captives and locals to build some infrastructure for us. ”

Liu Zhenlong also said: "When the commander was in charge of the Shuai Yin and led the expeditionary force from Los Angeles, you still felt that dealing with the enemy was devastating, but now there is really no difficulty on the battlefield, but except for fighting. Everything else is difficult. ”

Liu Fangwu smiled slightly, and said: "We arrived in Florida first, and there will be a lot of domestic support coming one after another, although it is difficult to open up the situation, but as long as we Tang people have a foothold in Florida, there will not be Westerners." Changing the ownership of the land back and forth, and this can also become the land where our children and grandchildren can thrive. ”

Liu Fangwu is one of the few who came with his family, and he still has a young son at home, and when the young son grows up, he will not have any memories from another plane, and he will be a thorough Tang Dynastyman. Everything Liu Fangwu is doing now has a strong sense of mission. He is working hard for countless descendants of the Tang Dynasty like his youngest son, in order to let them have the best land and best resources in this world, in order to continue the prosperity of this nation, and to carry forward the Chinese civilization.

With this idea, Liu Fangwu has a deeper affection and sense of identity for this country than the average soldier of the Republic of China. Perhaps it was precisely because of these psychological activities that he was extremely trusted to serve as the commander of the expeditionary force.

The first night of the occupation of Pensacola by the British army was absolutely unsteady, because the living facilities were limited, and the Don army occupied some houses, so many British troops had to live in tents provided by the Don. And on this first night, the Tang army was not very relieved, so these British soldiers were tied with plastic handcuffs, and then laid some military stalls, and directly made do with such a night.

Although the treatment was not good, the Tang people still distributed food to the British on time and on time. Perhaps it was because the Anglo-Saxon nation was so face-wrenching in cooking, so the big pot of rice cooked by the army's cooking squad for the captives at night actually made some of the captives so happy that they were about to shed tears. It's no surprise that the UK was the second most popular destination for Chinese students in later generations, but the endless fish and french fries brought Chinese children to tears in the land of food. I don't know how many British foreigners are reluctant to leave after coming to China, mixed with expired visas, preferring to eat boiled fish in gutter oil and skewers with carcinogens.

In general, the feelings of the lobster captives are similar to those of foreigners who are living in China. Why is Nima's food for the captives better than what we usually eat, is Nima really sure that the cooks in His Majesty's army can cook?

Despite the apprehension, the food and tents generally kept some of the British stable. Then the next day, they were disorganized, organized into different squads, distributed tools such as sledgehammers and shovels, and then began to build new fortifications and command posts in Pensacola under the command of the Don Army overseers who were armed with submachine guns.

This is not without problems, these British prisoners will have to be released sooner or later, and letting them build such facilities is a serious leak. However, Liu Fangwu doesn't seem to plan to take long, and when the Tang militia arrives with new immigrants, these things will be rebuilt or even rebuilt, so there will be no big problem.
