Chapter 576 (1/2)

The court of the Iroquois League is located on the South Bank of Lake Ontario, near Rochester.

But now Rochester is just a small military fortress, built by the French, but now it has been taken over by the British.

The scale of Rochester is not big, but there are two famous cities in this city.

One is Rochester Polytechnic University, the second oldest private Polytechnic University in the United States, and the other is the famous Erie Canal.

Rochester Polytechnic University is not familiar with that university. But the Yili canal is a canal that stone bears care about.

Although the Erie Canal was dug by later Americans from buffalo to Albany, Rochester is the most important hub of the canal.

Although the Erie Canal connects the Hudson River with the Great Lakes, Rochester is connected with the Erie Canal through the jenasi River, which runs through its urban area. Finally, ships can go directly from Lake Ontario to buffalo through Rochester, jenasi River and Erie Canal, and enter Lake Erie.

Stone bear has long had plans to build a canal similar to the Erie Canal, but he didn't plan to build it that long. If a canal is to be built along the route of the later Yili canal, it is still a bit reluctant with the current technology of the Cherokee people.

However, the canal from Rochester to buffalo is not only short in distance, but also much less difficult to excavate. Therefore, the plan of stone bear is to excavate the canal from Rochester to Buffalo first. Later, if necessary, another section of canal from Rochester to Albany via Syracuse will be excavated.

This is an important plan for the future development of Shi Xiong, but he doesn't have the energy to focus on this one.

He is now in the Royal tent of the former Iroquois League, that is, the seat of wahak, the chief of the mohak nationality, to meet the visiting British envoys.

The British ambassador here is Sir Henry coker, the deputy commander of the British army in the United States.

The 46 year old middle-aged Englishman, who fought in the seven-year war 20 years ago, returned to Britain after winning the seven-year war. Now that the war of independence broke out, he was sent to the new world of North America last year as deputy commander-in-chief of the British army.

And the stone bear also knows that in the next year, this guy will become the commander in chief of the British army. In 1794, he will be the most important governor of gibraltarian.

Henry Clinton has a very different family. His uncle was the seventh Earl of Lincoln, and his family was also related to the Duke of Newcastle. Yes, this Duke of Newcastle is the Duke of Newcastle of the Cavendish family.

This kind of family background is better than that of Colonel Alvin Osten that stone bear has seen before.

Although both of them are earls, they are different.
