Chapter 2006: Fall
Located on the Saint Lawrence River, Charles saw that the French army on the Plains of Abraham had been defeated, and he directed the British Soldiers to launch a pincer attack.
At this moment, the French reinforcements that had rushed to the battlefield, seeing the French troops on the battlefield in a state of complete collapse, wanted to attack the remaining British Soldiers.
In order to hold Quebec City, but they did not know.
At this time, Quebec City had already changed hands.
Having lost its main combat force, General Vaudreuil could not hold Quebec City at all and had long since fled under the cover of his troops.
Just as the supporting French troops wanted to continue their desperate resistance, Charles, who had already sailed to the vicinity of Quebec Port on the Saint Lawrence River, used his Artillery Ship to attack these reinforcements.
Facing the artillery fire and encirclement of the British Soldiers, the reinforcements were unable to resist at all, and eventually, five days after the battle, they and the garrison of Quebec surrendered to the British Soldiers.
The British Soldiers successfully captured Quebec City!
France's beautiful wish to establish a New Zealand in the North America region was completely shattered.
Their Colonial Area no longer had a single port on the eastern coastline.
The French Colonial Zone was locked onto the Pacific Ocean coast, and the vast amount of land they possessed and occupied could no longer provide any support to the French mainland.
At least under the blockade of Britain, there was no way at all.
The news of the fall of Quebec quickly reached the three powers in North America.
Qingyang Shuo, located in Longyan City, saw the news of the fall of Quebec City.
As if he had long expected it to happen, he casually threw such a piece of letter paper into the candlelight.
Not caring in the slightest.
However, after Qin Zhangfeng received this information, he immediately led the Indian troops and rushed back to Longyan City from Yun City.
He looked at Mr. Qingyang Shuo, the excitement in his eyes flowing out.
"Sir, is it time to begin?"
Qingyang Shuo nodded faintly.
After Qin Zhangfeng received the accurate reply, he clenched his fists in excitement; he had long coveted the large expanse of mineral veins and resources in the French Colonial Zone.
He immediately took the Indian troops and set off toward France's current Colonial Zone.
……
And in the British Colonial District, Kelinxi looked at the report from General Astimo regarding this war, which contained only a simple sentence.
Quebec City has been captured, Gelin has rendered great service, and has now been conferred the rank of Major General by the Military Department.
The corners of Kelinxi's eyes twitched, and he fell into silence.
This letter was not pleading with him to promote Gelin, but was clearly telling Kelinxi that Gelin had already been promoted to the rank of Major General.
This was a notification to him.
Although the fall of Quebec City was something Kelinxi wanted to see, looking at the current situation, his fate was not much different from the outcome of Quebec City.
Taking advantage of this combat opportunity, the Military Department had obtained a large amount of aid from his hands and gained power.
His power had already been gradually hollowed out.
The British Colonial District was nominally under the control of their Britain, but it had already shown signs of independence.
This was something that Kelinxi, and even the entire British royal family, did not want to see.
He was not a person who would sit and wait for death; the colonies in America becoming independent from his hands!
This was something he absolutely would not allow to happen.
In the report letter to George III, Kelinxi wrote: Quebec City has fallen, General Gelin has rendered great service, I humbly request he be conferred the rank of General……
……
On the other end, after Richard learned of the fall of Quebec, he fell into despair; that was the capital their France wanted to establish as a New Zealand in the Canada region.
It was a battle used to contain Britain.
But now that this colony was lost, it meant they had completely lost all colonies in the Canada region.
The most profitable fur trade and resources were slipping through their hands.
This was not even the most important thing.
This also marked that they no longer had a single port of their own on the American east coast facing the Atlantic Ocean.
All the resources of the French Colonial Zone could not be transported to the French mainland in the shortest possible time.
The French mainland also had no way to transport its own resources to the French Colonial Zone.
Just as Richard was worrying about what would happen next, his son Ausilige came crawling in.
His fat face was full of terror, and like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, he grabbed the edge of Richard's table.
"Father, Father, the Longyan general Qin Zhangfeng is now leading the Indian troops to surround us all, saying that we must give them land and water, otherwise they will raze the French Colonial Zone to the ground!"
Upon hearing this, Richard stood up abruptly, the chair trembling and hitting the wall, making a violent sound.
Richard stared at his son's face and said coldly: "You say Qin Zhangfeng's troops want us to give them land and water."
Ausilige nodded wildly.
Richard's expression froze, his body trembling, needing to lean on the table to keep himself from collapsing.
It really is when it rains, it pours!
Their French troops had committed all their forces to the war in Quebec, and now that Quebec had fallen, the remaining troops had not even been withdrawn from Quebec yet.
Now the French Colonial Zone did not have many troops left that could be mobilized, and even if there were, the defeat at Quebec would sweep through the morale of their entire French Colonial Zone force.
The French troops now no longer had the ability to fight.
Especially when facing such a powerful force as Longyan.
This was a classic case of Longyan taking advantage of a fire to loot.
After thinking of this, Richard could only hammer the table heavily; they now had no way to endure another battle with Longyan.
He gritted his teeth, the words squeezed out as if from the cracks: "Send someone to negotiate; we cannot endure even the slightest bit of war right now."
Ausilige looked at his father in astonishment, stunned and lost in thought; during the time he had been following his father, although he was good-for-nothing, he had still gained some insight.
He knew what this meant: their French Colonial Area in America would shrink significantly.
A large number of colonies would be occupied.
After thinking of this, Ausilige said blankly: "Dad, you are much better at squandering the family fortune than I am..."
After saying this, Ausilige turned and ran, while behind him came Richard's angry roar.
In Ausilige's words, Richard was indeed much better at squandering the family fortune than he was.
Negotiating with Longyan meant that a large portion of their remaining colonies would be carved away by Longyan.
And they could not even have any complaints; otherwise, Longyan might do something even crazier, such as completely tearing their entire French Colonial Zone to shreds.
After thinking of this, Richard could only make such a helpless Method.
Qin Zhangfeng soon received the invitation from France, and he chuckled; once, they had even worried that France would launch a war against them.
But now, none of this needed to be worried about.
France, once powerful in America, could now only act like a streetwalker begging for mercy.
It was just that that appearance made people feel hateful.
