Chapter 379 (1/2)
For Captain James Jones, what the stone bear said just now is undoubtedly a super big pie falling from the sky, and it's also his sister's pure gold pie!
Although the Powhatans have declined, the Powhatans, with a population of more than 20000, still occupy most of the land in Virginia.
Yes, although Virginia was the first colony of the British Empire in the new world of North America and also a colony directly under the British king, most of the ownership of this large area of land did not belong to Britain. Or its real ownership does not belong to the king of England.
Although Britain's national strength is growing, and even defeated the powerful France not long ago, in the new world, in Virginia, the local Powhatan is the real master here.
Even in this one and a half century, the British took control of a lot of land in Virginia either by fighting or buying. But Colonel Jones knew very well that it was because the Powhatans were now in decline, and they were unwilling to resist.
But if the Powhatans really want to fight, then the whole of Virginia will become very dangerous. After all, although it's not difficult for the British to beat the Powhatans, there are powerful Cherokees in the East and Kerries who have been flirting with the Spaniards in the south.
Who knows if beating the Powhatans will bring these two powerful indigenous tribes here?
Colonel Jones knows that. So, during his years in Jamestown, he has been trying to avoid disputes with the local aborigines.
For Colonel Jones, the Powhatans of Virginia were a thorn in his heart.
In fact, it's not just Virginia, it's all over the other 12 colonies. Most of the sites controlled by the British are near some cities. Far from the city, British control is still very weak.
Of course, Colonel Jones wanted to pull out the thorn of the Powhatans, but it was almost impossible to do so with the strength of his men alone.
But now suddenly there is a more powerful Indian tribe that wants to pull out the power of the Powhatans in Virginia. What is it?
”Lord guardian...” Colonel Jones felt that his throat became extremely thirsty in a moment. He could only swallow several mouthfuls of saliva to relieve the thirst“ Do you mean that if I hand over aruyet, you will give me half of the territory of the Powhatans? ”
”What? Is that not enough to impress you? ” Stone bear's face is wearing a cool smile, but the tone has become a little cold.
For the Cherokee people, the territory of the Powhatans is a chicken rib. After all, they are deeply entangled with the British here. If the Cherokee people rashly put their hands into this land, it will inevitably cause the British to rebound.
