The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 70 Betrayal (seeking genuine subscription from the starting point)

Holding up the binoculars, Yuri watched the soldiers in the fortress outside Charleston evacuating into the city one by one, and said to himself with a smile:
"It seems that the effect of the 5000 soldiers of the Qin army is better than I imagined."

Then, Yuri gave the order to move forward.

The garrison of the small fortress outside Charleston was evacuated on the front foot, and Yuri's security group occupied it on the rear foot.

The gunfire in the distant city of Charleston did not stop from beginning to end.

The casualties caused by this melee were terrible, and the duration was also very long.

Almost half a day has passed and the battle is still not over.

Of course, Yuri could afford to wait.

But as soon as Yuri's men occupied the fortress outside Charleston, the sentry sent over a Charleston officer who claimed to be a negotiating envoy.

The other party rushed to the security area under Yuri's headquarters alone. If he hadn't held the white flag, he would have been shot dead long ago...

After Yuri heard that the captured person was someone sent by Jackson, he immediately summoned him to himself.

It was clear to Yuri that taking Charleston alone would not be enough to take over the entire state of South Carolina.

After all, South Carolina has completed primary mobilization. The thirteen colonial states in North America are full of gun-toting mobs, so mobilization is relatively easy.

At least you don't have to train gun-toting mobs how to shoot.

This is also the reason why tens of thousands of armed forces were armed in South Carolina in a short period of time.

The Sauron family faced the British Empire at a great political disadvantage. Except for lunatics and idealists, no powerful person thought that the Sauron family could survive the suppression of the British Empire.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so naturally, the Sauron family fell into isolation.

As for public support...

It's not that Yuri deliberately ridiculed public opinion. In this era when public opinion is still at the stage of newspapers, public opinion is actually a doll manipulated by politicians.

What the common people know is what they read in the newspapers, and what is printed in the newspapers is not what the politicians want to tell the common people?
The concept of freedom of public opinion has not been proposed in this era, or those who dare to raise it have disappeared...

Therefore, public opinion is easily manipulated by politicians. The reason why tens of thousands of armed forces gathered in South Carolina is inseparable from the manipulation of public opinion by the South Carolina state government, that is, the Charleston City Council.

The pleas for the people that are promoted in Georgia are not seen at all in South Carolina newspapers.

On the contrary, they tried their best to promote the ambition of the Sauron family, wanting to establish a dictatorship that belongs to the Sauron family alone, and there were more reports about oppressing and exploiting the people.

The people of South Carolina are dissatisfied with the heavy taxes of the British Empire, and naturally they are unwilling to be exploited and enslaved by the Sauron family. The British Empire is a world empire after all, so what is the Sauron family?
To put it bluntly, even if they are exploited and enslaved, civilians still hope to find a strong motherland to exploit them.

Anyway, safety is guaranteed.

It is a human instinct to worship the strong, especially for those who are insecure.

Therefore, after entering South Carolina, Yuri did not intend to completely conquer here by force, it would be too difficult to do so...

Yuri is very clear about how the Sauron family has been hacked by the other twelve colonial states in North America. After all, this is a kind of political stance, coupled with the noble status of the Sauron family, it is difficult to resonate with the people.

Class hatred is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and public opinion only needs a little guidance to make the Sauron family notorious.

So Urie took a straight-to-the-point approach in trying to take control of South Carolina.

The capture or destruction of Charleston was only the first step, necessary to terrify those in power in South Carolina.

Then came political coercion.

Those ordinary people don't understand the Sauron family, how can politicians not know?
After all, what Yuri wants is not a South Carolina that is in ruins, but a South Carolina that shares the military and political pressure of the British Empire.

Now that the capitalists of the northern colonists have been discouraged by the tyrannical British Empire, the Sauron family can only 'find allies' by themselves through war.

Since the dignitaries of the thirteen North American states did not dare to rebel on their own because they were afraid of the force of the British Empire, Yuri used stronger force to force the dignitaries of the thirteen North American states to stand in line.

South Carolina is Yuri's first experimental site.

This is also the reason why Yuri sent Manid to negotiate before.

War serves politics. Yuri, who comes from a later generation, naturally understands this sentence.

But now that Jackson's negotiating envoy took the initiative to find him, Yuri knew very well that his 'plan' had made a breakthrough.

Manid had already told Jackson about his negotiating conditions before, and at this time Jackson sent someone over for peace talks, the implication is self-evident.

"Dear General Yuri, I am Colonel Cole, and I bring the sincerity of peace on behalf of Governor Jackson."

Cole was one of Jackson's old troops gathered in Charleston. When Yuri dropped 5000 Qin soldiers, he was in charge of deploying the fortress on the outskirts of Charleston, so he escaped a disaster.

Some of the troops that had evacuated before were Cole's men.

Jackson knew that the purpose of this peace negotiation was to give in, so to show his sincerity, he sent Cole, the highest-ranking military officer under his command.

The British Empire in this world already has a prototype of military ranks. The ranks of generals have not yet been subdivided, but the ranks of lieutenants below generals have been separated.

It's just that the number of troops commanded by different military ranks has not been clearly stipulated.

"Manid should have informed Governor Jackson of my wishes, and he agreed to my conditions?"

Yuri cut to the chase.

"Governor Jackson hated the oppression of the people of South Carolina by the British Empire. He decided to lead the people of South Carolina to seek an independent political status, and hoped to form a military alliance with the Sauron family."

Cole replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Haha, Governor Jackson is indeed very wise. I wonder when I can lead troops into Charleston?"

"General Yuri, there are still some people in South Carolina who are willing to act as lackeys of the London government. Charleston is their base camp. Governor Jackson has led people who want freedom to leave Charleston. I hope that General Yuri can help eliminate Charleston. Split South Carolina seeds.

This is a list, and the people of South Carolinians will gather under the banner of liberty if only those on it be exterminated or expelled! "

Cole handed over a list to Yuri. There were dozens of names on it, each of whom was a big shot in Charleston or a politician in South Carolina.

"No problem, but I need Governor Jackson to draft a South Carolina Declaration of Independence."
