Letting the indigenous people join the army does not mean that they are consuming these indigenous soldiers on the battlefield, but that they find a new way of life by joining the army.

In the Imperial Army, soldiers must be inspected and inspected. Some departments even need political reviews, but there is no such problem in Yingzhou. The armed departments of the African Development Company, as long as their skin color and height are in line with each other, can enter the next process. The only inspection process is to dig ground or move bricks to examine the physical strength of the soldiers. In fact, this level is easy to pass, so there are many older or 14 or 15 years old in the army.

These so-called soldiers will not directly fight with guns and send them to the battlefield, but will go to the jurisdiction of the African colonies after they are grouped together. The task is to reclaim new land and carry out agricultural labor. Sometimes they will even send them to large plantations to participate in cotton picking, sugarcane harvesting and other similar tasks. These tasks will save a certain amount of recruitment costs. Through these processes, the stinky fish and rotten shrimps will be selected, and the eliminated people will not go home, but will become garrisons on the spot.

The troops stationed in the plantation and operated the fields of African development companies. The carefully selected people participated in production and conducted military training, and eventually evolved into the armed forces of African development companies. When there was an empire and needed them, they would also join the imperial army and become foreign legions, such as the Junfu regiment. Usually, there was only one teaching battalion and one artillery battalion. This time, they went on an expedition and directly dispatched two thousand soldiers from the African company to join and organized two infantry battalions.

As long as these soldiers reach their service life or make military achievements, they can receive land and other rewards. Of course, all rewards can only be fulfilled in the jurisdiction of the company on the African continent. In fact, before they reach their service life, these soldiers have settled in the jurisdiction of the company.

They themselves have military pay for their military service. After retirement, their main way out is to go to major plantations to serve as slave supervisors. When their families arrive on the African continent, they will not lack work. The brothers, sisters and wives of these people can easily enter various processing factories, combing, brewing and other work to wait for them with their husbands' military service certificates. Some of the machinery-related jobs in the African company's jurisdiction will also hire these people, because the biggest resistance of the slaves in the plantation is to slacke in work, but if they enter the workshop, they will destroy expensive machinery.

But the free people would not do this. This new policy of joining the army by one person and moving the whole family is acceptable to all parties.

The new policy in Yingzhou area has been implemented for four years. The empire provided only a little subsidy and tariff policies. The African development companies obtained free labor, and the Bantu people and their descendants also returned to the places where their ancestors lived.

When the restaurant was served, Bai Jingyu raised a glass of wine and said to Su Weihua: "General Su, the Governor's Office is fully responsible for your military operations. This is Luo Fei. From the preparation of the materials you need to, to the guide and translator in the military operations, he is responsible for it. I have seen it today."

As soon as Su Weihua came in, he saw Luo Fei. He felt that the young man was very energetic, but he couldn't control it, because today everyone came in military uniforms and official uniforms. Luo Fei was dressed up as a merchant. Su Weihua smiled and said, "Honey, how can I bother Boss Luo? The big battle in Europe is starting, and Atlantic City is coming with the same amount of money as flowing."

Bai Jingyu was stunned when he heard this. Since he patted his head, he said, "Oh, blame me, I forgot to say it. General Su, this Luo Fei is a servant of King Yu. He worked in Prince Yu's mansion with his brother in the early years."

Su Weihua was unexpectedly asked, "Why are Brother Luo not in the attendant's room?"

Luo Fei pointed to one of his eyes. Su Weihua looked carefully and saw that his eyes had no expression at all. It must be a fake eye. He understood. To be honest, disability may not necessarily have to be discharged from the army. For example, Zhao Longcheng, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, had only one hand. At that time, the commander of the African company's naval forces had only one hand and one hand, known as half-dragon, but disability was a good reason. After coming out of the attendant's room, Luo Fei was very rich at a young age and had a bright future.

"So, thank you for your arrangement. Brother Luo will go to the Navy Headquarters tomorrow." Su Weihua smiled and said, "It's not me that I urged you. We said we were going to take over, but Louis XIV in France has never let go, and 80% of them still have to fight. New France is located northward, and if it snows down, it will be difficult to deal with it."

Luo Fei also nodded repeatedly: "I am ready here, just wait for the general to give the order."

After the welcome banquet ended, Su Weihua learned about Luo Fei through Wei Yunfan and realized that Luo Fei was one of the few big merchants in Atlantic City. Not only did his brother work in front of the emperor, Duan Yi, who is now the most favored by King Yu, was also his backstage boss. The Navy said that the supplies required by the Expeditionary Force, except for guns, ammunition, were directly allocated from the naval warehouse, the rest, whether it was canned or mules and horses, were handled by Luo Fei.

Moreover, Luo Fei's company has always wanted to develop trade to New France, which is also the reason why he personally joined the expeditionary army to fight.

Su Weihua originally thought that Luo Fei was just a privileged merchant, who used the expeditionary army to hunt for the first pot of gold and distributed money from military supplies. But what he did not expect was that when he met the next day, Luo Fei provided many useful clues.

"General Su, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Many of the information marked on your map are wrong." Luo Fei temporarily joined the Expeditionary Force as a quarconian. The first military meeting was just a meeting. When Luo Fei saw the combat map, he didn't say anything. After the meeting, he took the initiative to find Su Weihua.

Su Weihua didn't believe Luo Fei's words, but considering his identity, he explained: "Luo Fei, a lot of information on this map was obtained by the military intelligence army from France. If there was a map in front of Louis XIV, it would definitely be similar to this one."

Luo Fei smiled and said, "The roads, villages and military defenses on the map are not wrong, but the information marked in many places is wrong. For example, here, the Cabrian village on the south side of Lake Huron has seventy-five households and no less than three hundred people. This is wrong. In April, my caravan passed by there. The manager told me that there were less than one hundred people in the Cabrian village, and even the Catholic priests left."

"How is this possible?" Su Weihua felt incredible.

Although Cabrian Village is called a village, it is actually a small fortress, which is dealing with the harassment from the Iroquois Alliance and has a considerable agricultural planting area. In the combat plan, the main force will pass through Newfoundland Island and attack Quebec along the Huantong River (St. Lawrence River). Su Weihua will lead an elite force to set off from Atlantic City, go north along the river valley, and enter the Great Lakes Basin.

The Cabrian Village was selected by Su Weihua and the first supply point after entering the enemy territory. If only one-third of the people in the Cabrian Village are left, the supply capacity will be greatly reduced, which means that the army must carry more materials.

In an instant, Su Weihua felt that this would be Luo Fei's plan. After all, he was responsible for logistics and reduced the expectations of supply in the enemy's territory, so he had to buy more supplies from him. But then he thought about it and it was wrong, because this time he went there was not a conquest, but a takeover, which meant that a considerable number of troops would remain in Quebec. These people also needed to hoard supplies in preparation for winter.

"Is it the wrong intelligence obtained by the intelligence personnel?" Su Weihua murmured. If that is the case, the situation will be very bad, because the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau is the most important reference. If it is wrong, the entire military operation will change.

Luo Fei smiled and said, "It shouldn't be. I think it's mainly because all parties don't know much about the inland New France. In fact, I don't think the French people know much about it. After all, for Louis XIV, New France is only the annual fur trade volume in his eyes."

Su Weihua was clear about this. When he made the plan, he also sent people to inquire about the news from merchants, but the news was very little, and many of them were contradictory and speculation. Because the French colonies had only tens of thousands of people, the place where the population was concentrated was the Quebec region that was mixed with the Jiangkou, and the French only allowed imperial merchants to trade in Quebec, and merchants were not familiar with the inland.

It is difficult for ordinary merchants to pass through the Taibai Mountains and the territory that passes through the largest tribal alliance in North America.

Luo Fei was different. His company directly established commercial cooperation with the Iroquois Alliance. Two years ago, Atlantic City and the Navy came forward to help the Iroquois Alliance overcome the disaster caused by the smallpox epidemic. The conflicts arising from the two sides due to the migration of tribal people were resolved. The cannery run by Luo Fei needed a large amount of blueberries. The Iroquois territory was such a thing. Luo Fei was allowed to enter his territory directly and purchase dried blueberries, so he had a relatively good understanding of the situation of the French colony.

"What's going on in New France now?"

Luo Fei sorted out his thoughts and gave a brief introduction.

New France still implemented a feudal lord system. As early as 1598, the French king authorized all those who were willing to participate in colonial defense to establish territory. However, the effect was not good, and no one was willing to go to New France. Three territories were established in thirty years. People only care about the amount of income and did not care about the amount of land at all. Therefore, in 1663, France took back the undeveloped land.

But the local French still don't care, because the most important thing in New France is the fur trade, especially the beaver skin trade.

Because North America is very large, the French have no conflict with the local indigenous Hurons. Instead, the conflict between the Hurons and the Iroquois involved France. Later, the Dutch sold weapons randomly, and then the British joined in, forming a situation where France and Hurons formed an alliance, and Iroquois formed an alliance with the British colonists, and confronted each other.

After a hundred years of colonization of North America, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 New France. These people mainly survived by fur trade, scattered all over the place, hunting various animals that provide trade, and reclaimed land was limited to supporting themselves.

The British competed with them, but mainly in the Hudson Bay to the north. However, after the American War, these British colonies belonged to the empire, and the competition intensified.

The merchants who traveled between the colonies and France were all privileged merchants. The goods they provided were very high, but the fur was very low. After the empire owned the colonies, the Prince Yu's Mansion was also operated by privileged merchants, but there were many people involved. These merchants purchased goods in European countries and traded fur with indigenous peoples, which were more fair than the French and British. Some of them, such as medicines and textiles, were completely uncompetitive for the French.

Therefore, the French fur trade business was bleak, until the rise of cod fishing industry in Newfoundland, the French also participated and became product suppliers of the imperial cod industry. Therefore, a large number of French colonists who had previously engaged in fur trade had withdrawn from inland villages like Cabria, settled in Quebec and even further offshore places, and participated in the cod industry.

According to Luo Fei's words, Su Weihua obviously overestimated the supply capacity of the French colonies and even underestimated the French will to resist. Because of the arrival of the imperial merchants, the New Franchise lost its pillar industry and hated the Empire. At the same time, the French colonists were always wary of Atlantic City.

More importantly, the French and the British had already shown a tendency to merge. In the colonies near Atlantic City, the original British colonists were overwhelmed by various trade, work restrictions and high tax pressures. You should know that before the empire grasped this place, they were colonists and the Indians were colonized. After the empire came, these Anza people became colonized. On the contrary, as long as they joined Atlantic City, the Indians could turn over and become masters.

The French watched the empire seize the remaining British colonies through mortgage loans, and heard the various injustices mentioned by the fleeing British people, and they became even more hated to the empire.

Of course, the large-scale provision of weapons to the Iroquoi Alliance was also one of the reasons why the French were dissatisfied. In recent years, the French discovered that as civilized people, their weapons could not even be compared with barbarians like Iroquoi.

"Speaking of this, the most important thing in the French colony is the river where Quebec is. As long as we master it, we will hold the French's neck. With the strength of our army and the advantage of military firepower, it is not difficult to seize these places. The difficulty is still long-term rule. We must be prepared to fight protracted wars and guerrilla warfare." Luo Fei said.

"Do you have any good suggestions on this?"

Luo Fei said: "In fact, we have fought many similar battles with the Ansar Resistance Army in the south. Overall, the Imperial Army and the Marine Corps are not suitable. The Junfu Group under your command is obviously not good at it. The Cossacks are more suitable for this kind of thing. Over the years of fighting, the Cossacks are best at dealing with those Ansar people.

Moreover, the Governor's Office also prefers to use Cossacks."

"Why?"
