Compared with later generations, New York at the end of the 18th century was far from affording the prosperity symbolized by the word "urban".

The Dutch spent half a century building their new Amsterdam at the intersection of the East River and the Hudson River. The British took her away, pushed down the city wall, and leveled avenue at the ruins of the wall.

Wallstr. has become the latitude of New York, with the Netherlands on the south side of the street being the lower city, and the British on the north side of the street being the upper city.

The British did not like the name of Dutch City and British City. In order to declare their sovereignty over the entire New York, they planned three warp lines in New York.

The meridian of the lower town is Broadstr., which connects the port and Wall Street in an arc shape. The starting point is to the port where thousands of sails pass by, and the end point is located in the heart of the city.

The warp line of Uptown is Queenstr., which rises from the Federal Hall on Wall Street to the suburbs.

The third warp is another wide street in New York.

Broadwaystr. is the only open road in New York that spans the upper and lower cities, one end tied to the past Fort George in New York and the other end heading towards the future of New York, the vast unexplored Manhattan wilderness.

After all, villages and forests still occupy about three-quarters of Manhattan's land, and the New York inherited by the Americans is actually just a mere 3,700 acres (about 15 square kilometers).

Americans subdivided their New York into six regions.

The east of Queens Avenue is the Newport District, the north of Queens Avenue is the suburbs, the west of Queens Avenue - Wall Street - Broadway Street is the East District, and the west of Broadway Street is the West District. The middle of the East District and the West District are Wall Street as the boundary, which divides the South District and the North District.

The Mercury Manor of the Drake Chamber of Commerce is located in Lower Town, East Side, located on Wall Street, the intersection of Newport District and the East River, and is located at the East Pole.

The Western Pole, corresponding to it, is the garrison in New York, the starting point of the Broadway Street. It is a stone castle, which is favored and trusted by three generations of soldiers in the Netherlands, Britain and the United States.

Fort George was built in 1625 and was the first artificial building and military facility built by the Dutch on Manhattan Island. At first it was just a square wooden fortress.

I remember that Peter Minuet, the first governor of the New Netherlands, relied on this simple fortress to fight the local Lenape people, repelled the indigenous attacks dozens of times with muskets and cannons, and successfully forced them to the negotiating table, and bought the ownership of the entire Manhattan Island with 60 guilds and some cheap waste.

In 1626, the Dutch officially settled in Manhattan, with only 300 residents in the first batch. In order to prevent the IQ that the Lenapes might appear at any time, they kept strengthening the fortress and spent about 10 years to build the original square fort into the current prism.

However, they did not wait for the attack from the Lenape people in the end. In 1664, the British fleet invaded the Hudson River and used devastating naval guns to dismantle the wooden prism into scorched earth. Peter Stevisant, the governor of the New Netherlands, knew that he could not resist and raised his hand to surrender.

After the change of ownership in New York, the new British also took a fancy to this charred ruin that symbolized the backbone of the Dutch. A large number of Lenape people were arrested as slaves and built a more majestic stone castle on the basis of the original site.

The new fort was built around 1700, including a series of fortifications such as fortresses, city walls, forts, moats, ramps, etc., and is collectively called Fort George.

The new Fort George has since become the core of coastal defense and army garrison in New York. Under the ardent expectations of the people of New York, it was before peace in the early days of the War of Independence, and again at the critical moment when the British army made a comeback.

On the eve of the war and the British evacuation, it was handed over to the Americans in a peaceful manner for the second time, transforming from the patron saint of the British colonists to the National Guard of the Confederacy.

It is undoubtedly magical, never falls when it is not expected, and never fights after being trusted.

The Dutch pioneers at that time firmly believed that it could make them survive safely, and later British soldiers and now American soldiers also firmly believed that it could make them survive safely.

...

Night, north wind.

Standing on the uninhabited castle wall, Stephen Gillard stared at the quiet Hudson River.

There was darkness, and there were waves in the darkness, constantly reminding people that there was an old military port there.

The mouth of the Hudson River was once a military port for the Netherlands, Britain and even Americans. In the early days of the War of Independence, the Hudson River formation, one of the three major fleets of the Continental Army reorganized by free merchant ships, was stationed here.

At that time, there were singing every night, and enthusiastic New York girls gathered on the shore, showing their beauty in front of the excellent naval officers like a pheasant.

And now, the Hudson River formation is still there, but the New Yorkers' attention has long been attracted to the other end of Long Island.

There is a brand new fleet, a patrol ship built by Drake Maritime Group, a destroyer built by Drake Maritime Group, a Brig and Brigentina built by Drake Maritime Group...

The fleet was called the Long Island Fleet, which was the first step in the American Navy's revitalization plan. It carries and carries Americans' ambitions and hopes for the ocean.

However, Americans shouldn't have awakened such unrealistic ambitions so early!

In the plan, the last decade of the 18th century should be the time when the Masonic transformed the United States, and the first twenty years of the 19th century should be the time when the Masonic develops the United States.

It was not until the middle of the year, between 1820 and 1850 that the United States, which had completely accepted the Freemason's ideal, rose up and counterattacked Europe with an irresistible momentum, and reached the top of the world with the guidance of those American brothers in Europe.

This is the Freemason's plan!

Lorraine Drake ruined their great plan...

No, Lorraine Drake is just a dirty pirate and a lowly businessman, and his actions are just driven by interests. The one who really destroys the Freemasonry plan is Alexander Hamilton, his damn revolving door plan!

Not right!

Alexander Hamilton is a creative, Lorraine Drake is a practical person. These two people are just as hateful. Under the avalanche, there are no innocent snowflakes!

They are sinners!

The Freemason will never let such an unforgivable criminal go, and Stephen Gillard has prepared everything for this.

“Just wait…”

"Lord!"

A scream interrupted Gillard's imagination. He turned his head angrily, with a happy look on his face, Zhongzheng and peaceful: "My beautiful brother Eugene, what moved you so much?"

"Lord!" Eugene took a deep breath, "an hour ago, the Gyllenhaal brothers from Wales asked someone to transfer the application for withdrawal from the association. He was the only successful among the three candidates we buried in the Baishang Association, but in the application for withdrawal, he said that Lorraine Drake would kill the traitor, which was a price he was unwilling to pay."

Gillard's eyes suddenly froze: "Lorraine Drake... the dirty Viking bear noticed our existence?"

"It shouldn't be." Eugene took a deep breath. "I went to meet the Gyllenhaal brothers in Misson and felt that he was still respectful to us. He told me that Lorraine Drake saw through our plans, but had not yet noticed our existence."

"He also said Drake was going to join forces with Hamilton, and if we had no countermeasures, we would definitely lose this Christmas dinner."

Gillard's brow frowned into a rift: "Even such important information tells us, why should Gyllenhaal betray us?"

"I guess..." Eugene swallowed nervously, "I guess Lorraine Drake might not mind his intelligence being leaked. Or maybe Gyllenhaal, Misson, thinks that there are enough people in this information, at least not attracting Drake's butcher knife..."

"He betrayed us. He must be afraid of our revenge, so he offered these crucial information and prayed for our forgiveness."

Gillard did not speak immediately.

He was silent and thought, his eyebrows stretched out little by little as time went by, and his face returned to a central and peaceful kind look.

"You unravel my questions, my beautiful brother Eugene." He smiled, "I hope you do two things."

"yes!"

"The first thing, except for Misen Gyllenhaal and Lorraine Drake, we sent people to convince everyone at the Baishang Association. Our Misen may be exposed because of this, so don't choose anyone who is qualified to attend the Christmas dinner."

Eugene focused on the head.

"The second thing..." Gillard made a hissing sound like a snake, "The betrayal must be punished. Leave the matter of Gyllenhaal to the Siwei brothers to deal with. He asked him to design it more exquisitely, and enough topicality will help us persuasion work."

"...Yes, Lord! We will build the temple of Solomon!"

"We will build Solomon's temple, no doubt."
