My British Empire

  Chapter 528 Indians

  According to the colonial tradition, this warm and harmonious harbor was named Edward Bay, and everyone did not have so many objections.

  Even with the sea breeze blowing, Humphrey Gilbert still felt that the weather was hot at this time, even hotter than London.

   Wiping off his sweat, Gilbert, as the captain and the new governor, the governor personally appointed by His Majesty the King, hurriedly waded through the water and came to the pristine white beach, calling everyone together.

   "Everyone, my name is Humphrey Gilbert, the founder of the London Colonial Company, and the first governor appointed by His Majesty the King! This is my letter of commission!"

  Adhering to the principle of openness and fairness, Gilbert spread out the letter of appointment in his arms, waved it in front of everyone, and then asked a few people who could read to read it carefully.

   Regardless of their chirping discussions, Gilbert glanced at them and said in a deep voice:

   "According to the conditions of the commission, we can establish a colony belonging to our United Kingdom north of Spanish Florida. Here, as the governor, I will introduce other officials to you!"

   As he spoke, Gilbert pointed to a kind old man wearing a priest's uniform, and said softly:

   "This is Pastor Gefranc from the State Church, and he will also be our bishop here in the future!"

   "Serve His Majesty and you, as the servant of my lord, this is what I should do!"

  The bishop was very polite and seemed easy to talk to, which made Gilbert and his companions heave a sigh of relief.

  At this time, the crew members who had just left the ship, were depressed and empty, looked at the pastor with a hint of excitement on their faces, and their eyes glowed.

  Obviously, at this moment, these people are extremely disturbed and panicked, and they need religious comfort, and the presence of a priest is nothing better.

   "This Mr. Allen Brady will be our chief financial officer, responsible for managing all taxes and expenses of the colony, as well as household registration management!"

   As he spoke, the middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle appearance came out.

   "This is the judge!"

   "This is the police!"

   "This is the Inspector!"

  ...

  After introducing the officials of these colonies one by one, Gilbert concluded:

   "Although there are not many people at the moment, they still have to abide by the laws from London, which is also part of England."

   Afterwards, Gilbert arranged for people to start exploring this novel land, and then looked for available land to find profits for the company.

   "Clatter—"

After walking west for only a few miles, passing through a jungle and several sections of ravines, a river with a width of tens of feet appeared in front of everyone, coming from the far west, flowing down, tumbling, and into the Atlantic Ocean.

   "So, this river is called the Edward River!"

  Glanced at this wide river in surprise, and then looked at the fat fish with white belly constantly tumbling in the water, and Gilbert fell in love with it all at once.

  No matter how stupid he is, he still understands that the location of the water source is the best place to establish a colony, and it is also a river with abundant water and extremely rich fish.

Moreover, he also saw that this is the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a vast swamp nearby, overgrown with weeds and lush flowers and trees. It is definitely suitable for arable land. If you look up, down, left, and right, at least tens of thousands of acres can be formed nearby. cultivated land.

   "Let's settle here, this is also part of Edward Bay!"

  Alan Brady stared at all this seriously, and then looked at the small animals running nearby. He immediately showed an expression of enjoyment, and then said decisively:

   "Governor, according to my senior colonial research, this place can be used as our forerunner, a temporary settlement, or even a large base!"

   "Oh? My Excellency the Treasurer, are you sure?" Gilbert asked with a smile on his face.

   "Of course, my lord governor!" Financial Officer Allen said firmly without fear of him, but with his chest straightened out, unwaveringly.

  The others looked at the two with worried expressions.

   Just when everyone thought something would happen, the newly appointed Governor-General suddenly laughed out loud:

   "Your vision is very similar to mine. It seems that we have the same level!"

   In this way, the new settlement is determined.

  One hundred and seventy people started logging, mowing grass, and especially building defensive fortresses.

  Because, when they got off the boat, they saw that there were Indians in the vicinity, which was very dangerous.

  Women cook, mow, and log; men dig, carry logs, and build forts.

   "Bob, come on, there's no one here!"

  A young woman in ordinary clothes, even with rough and dark skin, ran into a quiet jungle with her head poking around, and whispered to the rear.

  After the sound came out, a thin man followed cautiously, and then the two sat on the ground and began to hug each other, talking love to each other.

  Of course, physical education classes are not allowed, because the Anglican Church has followed the Catholic standard, and unmarried men and women are not allowed to have **** before marriage.

  So, the two of them could only come here secretly, and engage in some small secret **** activities, and they couldn't be seen by others.

   "Ah!" The man suddenly let go of the bulge on the woman's chest, hugged his ankle, and screamed loudly.

   "Bob, what's wrong with you?" The woman's face suddenly turned pale, and when she saw the long creature slipping away, her face turned gray.

   "Here, here, there is a snake here—" the man said with all his strength, his lips trembling white.

   Suddenly, the two panicked, and the woman could only watch helplessly as the man's life faded away.

  At this time, the woman felt a gust of wind blowing around her, and then, several yellow-brown men with various designs all over their bodies, feathers on their heads, animal skins, and bows and arrows in their hands, walked in front of the man.

  The woman watched these scary brown people approaching in some horror. She suddenly remembered many Indian legends, and moved her **** in a panic to make way for them.

   I saw that the Indian touched the man's throat with two fingers, then looked at the wound, smiled at each other, and after a few discussions, they started looking around.

  In the eyes of women, this terrible behavior is the prelude to their imminent being eaten. The legend of Indians cannibalism has been passed down for a long time.

   Then, an Indian seemed to have found something, and he cried out happily, and several other Indians were also full of joy.

  The woman saw a strange grass.

  After that, the group of Indians chewed the grass with their mouths, and then carefully rubbed the powder on the man's ankle, very carefully.

   At this moment, the woman suddenly felt that the group of Indians seemed to be saving lives.
