Effective quarantine control, systematic and advanced treatment, and finally with the full vaccination of vaccinia, the smallpox crisis in Los Angeles is temporarily over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, this does not mean that the security alert has been lifted, and the outbreak of the epidemic in a large area of Indian tribes in Jiazhou has made the whole country still very nervous.

Some tribes even had more than sixty percent deaths, and even one tribe disappeared from Jiazhou entirely, and the original village became a ghostly ruin. A joint rescue team from the Ministry of Health and the Army began to rescue the Indians here, and some survivors of the completely destroyed village structures were taken to nearby towns and farms after being treated and vaccinated, where they were educated in Chinese and worked as new residents.

As a result, after the smallpox crisis passed, the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly discovered that there were only three Indian tribes in the entire Jiazhou that were still operating on their own, and the total number of naturalized Indians in the whole Jiazhou had reached a very staggering 208546. By the end of 1777, the population of the Tang Republic had increased dramatically, with the total population of the Tang Dynasty exceeding 500,000 to 55, with the addition of new immigrants from China and Borneo, women from Vietnam, and a small number of new immigrants from Siam and other countries. 890,000. From 1774 to the end of 1777, the population of the Tang Dynasty quadrupled in less than five years. Of course, compared to the sharp increase in land area, it doesn't seem to be too much.

Therefore, this smallpox crisis is a great thing for Datang to a certain extent, but the high-level people do not know that it is actually possible that the smallpox crisis will not cause such a large number of Indian deaths. Some extreme Indians single-handedly directed this biomassacre of their own people. At least it played a very important role.

There is a great deal of controversy about this in some later literary works. Some people believe that Bai Nan, who can be called the "No. 1 conspirator in the modern world", is the mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately using the virus to massacre a large number of Indians, which made the Tang society accelerate the assimilation of Indians. This kind of statement is generally circulated abroad, and is regarded as an important evidence of the world-class "hegemonic country" of the Black Tang Republic. There is also a view that the aboriginal ultra-nationalists, who are actually Na/Purists, are described in many novels about this mysterious and terrifying organization, which has become a very important urban legend and wild history in the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty. The organization known as the "Condor Society" has also become a popular topic. It is known as an important mysterious organization in the world along with "Freemasonry". Later, even some orthodox historians believed that the nationalism of the Tang Dynasty did not originate from the so-called "Imperial Han", but originated from the extreme Tang Indian culture.

Although the virus crisis is terrible, the Tang people who have been vaccinated still do business as they do, and the epidemic has indeed had some negative effects on Datang, causing some direct and indirect economic losses, but the GDP of Datang Republic is still calculated in multiples.

At a time when there were all kinds of tensions in the Tang Dynasty because of smallpox, the Tang Expeditionary Force stationed in the three southeastern states finally set off for New England in early summer. Assist the Continental Army in its operations against the British Intervention Army. Of course, long before the Tang Army set out on the expedition. The Datang Navy was not idle at all, a strong fleet of cruisers and three frigates, in the period from January to May, a total of eight encounters with British ships at sea, none of which the British retreated, a total of 21 British warships, including three battleships above the fourth level, sank or captured 15 British merchant ships and transport ships.

All of a sudden, the majesty of the Tang Navy terrified the originally proud English, and some Royal Navy captains even refused to leave the port, saying that it was not that they were not brave, but that no one with brains would go to a war that could not be won.

Even though the Tang Dynasty caused great damage to the logistics and naval support of the British, it did not completely cut off the supply of the British army in the United States, of course, because of the Tang Dynasty's war-breaking operations, the British army in the United States had a shortage of materials, which made the British army have to reduce the number of its own operations, and even began to send soldiers to loot the villages and cities of New England to obtain grain, grass and other military supplies.

This behavior has led to the growing disgust of the locals, some of the locals with royalist tendencies, because of the looting of the British army, immediately turned into "patriots", under the influence of Guo Xin, a consultant from the special forces, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and other places have emerged a group of guerrillas who specialize in sneaking up on the British, they often have no weapons, only two or three guns in a group, but they use everything they can use, such as gunpowder, arson, and even by beating sticks, As a result, the British army continued to suffer damage.

By the time the Tang army arrived in New England at the end of May, the British army had fallen to an astonishing low point - the rear army and large quantities of supplies had not arrived, and the army's morale had fallen to a low point due to successive defeats and repeated sneak attacks and harassment - everything seemed to indicate that this was a good opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the British army.

When Liu Fangwu arrived in Philadelphia, he received the warmest welcome, and in the past six months, New England has been circulating all kinds of news that the Tang Navy has beaten the British Royal Navy, and people have high expectations for the arrival of the Tang Army. Moreover, Major General Liu Fangwu is also the first general of the Tang Republic to set foot on American soil, which is more worthy of the attention of the Continental Army.

Even George. In order to meet Liu Fangwu, Washington personally came to Philadelphia from the front, because the British army was weak so they could not organize any effective attack, so Washington dared to withdraw and return. Moreover, there are several excellent advisers of Datang and Thaksin's subordinates on the front line, which makes him firmly believe that there will be no problems.

Washington warmly extended his hand to shake General Liu Fangwu, and he said: "Hello (Chinese), fortunately, Your Excellency General, thank you for coming thousands of miles to New England to fight for the freedom and justice of the people here." ”

Even if Washington still has some complaints in his heart, under the banner of helping the Thirteen Colonies, Datang pushed all the way from the West Coast and occupied a large area of Florida, and the benefits were a lot. However, despite this thought, Washington still believes that the United States cannot do without the help of Datang now. The Continental Congress received a war loan from the Tang Dynasty to enable it to operate normally, while the Continental Army received a large number of advanced weapons, which enabled them to gradually rely on weapons to gain a certain advantage in the competition against the British army.

Now, more than 1,000 people of the Tang Army, who were pinned on high hopes, have arrived in Philadelphia, which has allowed all patriots to see the dawn of victory. (Explanation of the noun, in English, the patriot in the North American Revolutionary War belongs to a specific reference, and can also be understood as an independent, and the country that loves is the United States, not the United Kingdom, which is not fully independent.) The term is opposed to loyalist royalists/loyalists)

At this time, Liu Fangwu also expressed his goodwill in a friendly manner: "The great spirit of the American people in pursuing freedom and independence is admired and appreciated by our Datang Republic, and we believe that with the sincere cooperation of both sides, Britain, which represents the old forces, will eventually be defeated and swallow the bitter fruit of its own sowing." ”

This kind of talk is honest General Liu himself can't come up with, fortunately, there are political workers around him, diplomatic rhetoric or something has been prepared a lot, and General Liu also reviewed it when he got off the ship. Liu Fangwu went abroad to fight and coordinated with the British and Indian forces in Burma, and his English was still good.

Washington smiled heartily: "I also believe in this. ”

After some politeness, Washington proposed to let the Tang Army rest for a while, and then discuss the things that had been fought.

Liu Fangwu told Washington: "Our Tang army came to New England to fight, not for tourism or leisure. Every soldier is ready for battle and will be able to go to battle tomorrow. ”

Washington was also a dignified, and he sensed that Liu Fangwu was definitely not joking, and any army he had seen in a new environment would take a while to get used to, and the soldiers would have to rest for a few days before they would be willing to fight. However, according to Washington's own observations, the Tang soldiers who disembarked from the ship carried large bags on their backs, still maintaining a neat formation, and their officers would assemble them in a formation after each tactical unit disembarked. The faces of these soldiers are full of solemnity, they may not look strong, but the sense of oppression is enormous.

Judging from the mental state and morale of the Tang Army, Liu Fangwu absolutely did not lie that the Tang Army was really ready to fight immediately.

Washington did not refuse, and took Liu Fangwu, who had just disembarked, and his headquarters to the Continental Army's stronghold in Philadelphia. There is an extremely detailed military map on the huge table, which makes Washington a little embarrassed is that this map is brought by the Tang Military Advisory Group, although it is not accurate in some details, but the degree of accuracy and detail is incomparable to the Continental Army's own map, so that now all the military maps have been replaced with the Tang version, and even the Continental Army attaches great importance to these maps, and it is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of the British army. In the event that the troops are likely to be captured, they must destroy the map first.

"The basic situation now is that the main force of the British army under the command of Clinton is now essentially trapped in New York, because the blockade achieved by your heroic navy at sea has made the more than 10,000 British troops in Clinton's hands face great difficulties. However, Clinton has a very strong fortress in New York, creating multiple lines of defense, and if he attacks head-on, the losses can be very large. The other British army is the troops of Burgoyne in the direction of Quebec, he has less than 10,000 troops in his hands, half of them are British troops and half of them are Hessian mercenaries, if we take into account the strength of the Indians allied with the British and some local militias temporarily armed, the strength should also be more than 10,000 people, and the enemy division in this direction is our main enemy at the moment, and there are signs that they are preparing to go south and cooperate with Clinton to attack us.
