In the previous Savannah landing battle, the White Legion had already demonstrated its unparalleled combat effectiveness. otbnkotgt Although neither the factions leaning towards Briton nor the factions leaning towards the Continental Army recognized William's rule, their "disapproval" was only verbal.
The cavalry sent out by William did not suffer any harm except their indifference.
But then things were different.
William began recording the registration.
His soldiers began to document that the refugees outside Savannah were primarily composed of former residents of Savannah who had been left homeless after Savannah burned.
As well as the population of the various villages, towns and cities surrounding Savannah.
This caused panic among the local people because William had no intention of hiding his thoughts when he carried out this action.
“All Gothic immigrants, descendants of Gothic immigrants, or residents who have Gothic ancestry and are willing to admit that they are Goths will be protected by the Hereford family and the armed white legions to which the Hereford family belongs.
The new Gothic colonial government will provide any help and support it can to the Gothic residents, including tents, clothing and food for wintering.
As long as you admit that you are a member of the Goths, and then swear allegiance to the Hereford family, to the great King Otto I, and to the Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hereford, you can get all this. " That's pretty much it, even though he doesn't quite believe William, and at the same time, he doesn't actually care about his Gothic identity.
But the people of Savannah resigned to the fact that their home had just been destroyed.
Moreover, November is coming, and under this situation, if there is no help and relief, then they will never survive.
As for William, yes, William had already anticipated this.
He wants to destroy, to destroy, and then to build.
He needs a lot of supplies.
Fortunately, behind him stood one of the richest royal families in the Old World.
The Hereford family is willing to spend a considerable sum of money for this purpose.
Not to mention, the Hereford family itself is the largest grain producer in the Old World.
There was a steady stream of grain ships heading to Savannah from the Old World.
In addition, simple tents, as well as leather and wool clothing for winter, are also being transported as quickly as possible.
This was very unfortunate for the colonists in the New World, even though the south of the Thirteen State Colonies was dotted with cotton plantations.
But they had no choice but to turn the cotton into cotton cloth, cotton clothes and cotton shoes.
Some earth-making workshops simply do not have enough productivity to provide clothing for 100,000 or even more people.
Therefore, despite guarding the world's largest raw material production base, they still need to import textiles from other places.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is, no matter what you think in your heart.
Those "Gothic immigrants" received relief from the Hereford family and swore allegiance to the Hereford family.
Although the gold content of this allegiance is not very high, at least it is a good start.
What makes William even more happy is that he has successfully provoked the gap between Goths and non-Goths.
Although, as mentioned before, the vast majority of the colonists knew both Brythonic and Gothic.
At the same time, several generations of living together and intermarriage have also resulted in the vast majority of colonial residents having some Gothic ancestry.
But there are still some stubborn, or stupid, or self-respecting "Britons" who refuse to learn any Gothic culture and language.
And what was more beneficial to William by refusing to intermarry with the Goths was that the vast majority of these people were high-level leaders of the colony, or the "republic."
Rather than marrying colonial bumpkins, they seemed to prefer marrying British nobles, especially those who had noble titles but were bankrupt and had nothing but noble titles.
They are willing to spend a large amount of money as a betrothal gift so that their family can have some "noble aristocratic blood".
This makes them feel good about themselves and superior to others.
At the same time, this kind of intermarriage and marriage gave them some help.
After all, before this, the Thirteen States Colony was "British's overseas territory."
Compared with the mixed-race natives, the British cabinet naturally believed that these "country bumpkin nobles" who were related to the local nobles were more trustworthy.
Therefore, whether it is business, taxes, or the positions of various bureaucrats in the colony, most of these benefits will be taken away by them.
Therefore, they were excluded from the scope of “relief”.
William regarded them as models, chickens killed for the monkeys, and triggers.
"Look at these purebred Britons.
Do you really think they are of the same race as you?
Or do you really think they represent you?

Do you think you are residents of the Thirteen States Colony?
But At the same time, they think they are representatives of the Thirteen States Colony.
Do you think this is true?
Do you think these people can really think about you?"
These well-dressed British gentlemen were marched through villages by the soldiers of the White Legion.
At the same time, the young preachers, young graduates from Hereford College, and young pastors who graduated from Hereford Theological Seminary, were also preaching to the Goths at the top of their lungs.
Do you really think they launched this rebellion for your benefit?
Poll tax, ah, yes, poll tax.
Sir, what do you think of the surcharge of twenty shillings per bag of tea?"
said Here, a preacher suddenly stopped and looked at an old man who was dressed in ordinary clothes and seemed to be watching the fun.
"I can't afford this money.
My life is difficult enough," the old man said loudly.
"So do you know how much money this gentleman has in his family?"
the preacher asked.
"I know him.
He has several large estates around here and has thousands of orc slaves working for him.
However, I don't know how much money he has."
"His family property is four million, four million empire gold," the preacher shouted: "His family property is enough to buy tea for two million people in the entire colony for a year.
The tea can brew the entire Mississippi River. tea" Hearing what the preacher said, the surrounding audience couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although most of these guys didn't know the meaning of this number, and they didn't have enough imagination to imagine an entire Mississippi River of tea.
Of course, in fact the preacher himself doesn’t know.
But he doesn't care.
"Now, guys, do you still think that a guy like this can stand with you and fight for a special tax of twenty shillings?"
The audience whispered among themselves.
Although there was no answer, it was obvious that these guys had been persuaded.
"So, everyone, what do you think they are doing now and what are you doing?
They are driving us Goths to the battlefield for their own ambitions and their own interests.
It is us Goths who die for them in the end. , it was us Goths who were massacred by the British army, and it was these British men who benefited.
If the Continental Army is ultimately defeated, then they will be fine because they are Britons and they are inextricably linked to the Britons themselves.
They only need to introduce some scapegoats and then claim that they were used and exploited.
Blinded.
They can avoid this disaster.
At most, they can just send more money and gifts to the local British gentlemen.
Guess again, everyone, who are the scapegoats being pushed out?
Of course us goths And if the Continental Army ultimately wins.
Ha, they are awesome.
What did you get for the victory that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more Gothic lives?
Take a look at the top leaders of the current republic government.
They are all similar to these guys.
They don’t know how to talk about brother.
Special-speaking Britons.
In other words, the Goths shed blood and tears, but in the end they fought a country of Britons.
Gentlemen, you say that the native Britons are evil because they overtax you.
So you have to help the Britons in the colony, but the Britons in the colony are also Britons.
Do you think they will really treat you well?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Do you think they will really care about you?
Do you think they really will?
Are you the same?
Can your interests be guaranteed?
Can you get your own country?
Can you?
They don't even speak Gothic."
That's it, after hearing what the preacher said, the discussion below became louder.
People gradually became angry, and the expressions they looked at the Britons became more and more cold.
This made the Britons feel cold in their hearts.
They vaguely felt that it was a mistake to agree to the people of the White Legion and to cooperate with them in publicity.
Before this, the people of the White Legion did not say that they were brought here to provoke them. something.
They only thought that the White Legion was letting them, "social elites", help them stabilize the situation.
But now it seems that is not the case at all.
They felt they had been cheated. 160420oshow7:
