Lord of Ming Dynasty

After the people and horses have been screened, those who are innocent and willing to return to their hometowns to work in agriculture and no longer come out to resist will be given home allowances and dismissed. Identify the squires and tyrants who committed heinous crimes in the countryside, and even some officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who fled.

Those who committed the most crimes, or those who were still stubborn, and whose thoughts were towards the Jurchens, were thrown into a prisoner-of-war camp, and a small team led them to cut down trees nearby, build camps, repair roads, and help nearby villagers repair their houses.

In half a month, [-] prisoners of war were captured, [-] servants were incorporated, and hundreds of the most vicious gentry, landlords, tyrants, and even deserters from the Ming Dynasty, or officials from the Ming Dynasty were executed.

Yang Yangyang sent people to take away [-] prisoners of war, and at the same time sent supplies, siege equipment, and more than a dozen [-]-pound cannons. These were captured grapes and Dutchmen, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using them to attack the city.

At this time, Milin had been transferred from his previous position, and led the army again. He set off from Puyun County and attacked Shaoxing Mansion from another direction by water along the way.

After Wei Wuji received the battle report, he immediately left a thousand troops to maintain the place, guarded the prisoners, and drove [-] prisoners who were willing to make meritorious deeds to atone for their crimes, and headed towards Shaoxing Mansion.

At this time, Du Ge had already led a large army to fight several times with the Qing army besieging King Lu's forces on the outskirts of Ningbo Mansion, and successfully defeated them. Ningbo Fufu City.

The situation is tilted towards the Nanming side, at least in Zhejiang Province, the situation is beneficial to the Jinhua Rebel Army and the King of Lu forces.

But on Treasure Island, Zheng Chenggong was not so good.

Although he has a large number of people, as the war prolongs, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable to him.

One is the hot climate, the harsh environment of the original form of the treasure island, he can't beat the Dutchman in a short time.

At the beginning, the Dutch only had more than 800 defenders in the city of Zeelandia. They had advanced matchlock guns, advanced rifled guns, and Portuguese Francois machine guns. They made two-pounders and three-pounders, Six-pound guns, twelve-pound guns, eighteen-pound guns, and even the deadly [-]-pound and [-]-pound Caron guns.

The entire city of Zeelandia is in the shape of an irregular rhombus, and the terrain chosen for the Dutch man-made castle is quite favorable. It is surrounded by hills, and there is a moat on the periphery of the hill. There is a parapet at a slightly higher point of the moat, and there are various obstacles behind the parapet The wooden piles propelled by the siege equipment, potholes, barbs, the terrain is rough, and there is a city wall on it.

Behind the city wall is a taller city wall, turrets, archery towers, gun towers, and even a high watchtower. Narrow alleys, a row of houses, warehouses, stables, behind the cathedral, the cathedral is also a slightly smaller castle, and on the diagonal of the cathedral, there are two buildings, one is a garrison building and the other is a warehouse , the three large buildings are distributed in three directions in a triangle.

Then they are connected by stone-built city corridors on top of them. There are archery towers, gun towers, and watchtowers on them. These three buildings form the inner city.

There are three gates in the inner city, all of which are iron gates.

What makes people even more desperate is that there are residential houses, blacksmith shops, granaries, shops, and some rich mansions in the inner city, including Chinese-style, Gothic-style, and Japanese-style. There is even a small Small opera houses, chapels, arenas, shooting ranges.

And the center of these is a governor's mansion, and the governor's mansion is a western Dutch-style castle.

It is more than 30 meters high, and it is on a hill that is ten meters higher than the terrain of the outer city.

Such a defense is simply hopeless.

After hearing Zheng Chenggong explaining the information he got to himself, Zhang Qiang also had a headache. How can he do this? Could it be a street fight with the Dutch?

How many people would it take to level this fortress.

"Your Excellency, what is even more unexpected is that the Dutch enslaved us Han people, they colonized us people, and their missionaries used small favors to make people who cooperate or deal with them think that we are villains and are here to arrest us. Theirs, therefore, my first wave of attack was almost to fight against them, about 2000 Dominic officers and soldiers, and hundreds of Japanese ronin to help them defend the outer wall."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Qiang was angry.

"Yes, Governor, in the past half a month, they have recruited about 3000 indigenous people from another city gate, from the virgin forest and mountain passages behind them, in places that are difficult for us to outflank. Bit people, Ilia people, Ainu people, and Guqiu people brought them into the castle and helped them guard the castle."

"I know those natives on Treasure Island are unreliable," Zhang Qiang said, patting the table.

"Oh, these are the natives. They are all people who migrated from various dynasties along our coast. As for the Guqiu people, I don't know. I heard from the captives that they were people who had been in Baodao long ago. The Dutch said they They are the descendants of early Fujianese and Ainu people. After multiplication, they intermarried with fishermen in Guangzhou area, Malays in Nanyang area, and Brunei aborigines.

Even the Dutch can’t understand what they say, but they still love the Dutch very much. I heard that the Dutch like their appearance, and then some Dutch forced them to have sex with them, and they gave birth to the next generation, the Dutch Called Simi. "

Oh my God, Zhang Qiang was really upset. This relationship gave him too much headache. Compared with high mathematics, it seemed that this race distribution was the only thing that gave him a headache.

"Also," Zheng Chenggong said, "do you still remember that Shi Fu?"

"Shi Fu?" Zhang Qiang frowned.

"Oh, I remembered, it's your father's subordinate, the Qing soldiers came, the one who withdrew his troops from Xianxia Pass, didn't surrender to the Qing soldiers later, after your father was captured by Boluo Belle, he disappeared without a trace. "

"Yes, he is the defender of Chixian City. There is also a Dutch lieutenant with more than 300 people to help him defend Chixian City. He has already joined the Dutch."

"Slave with three surnames." Zhang Qiang said.

"Yes, this scum, if it weren't for him, the court would not have been defeated, and King Tang almost died in Tingzhou Prefecture." Zheng Chenggong said through gritted teeth.

"How's the situation there?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Chixian City is slightly larger than Zeelandia City, with a circumference of about ten miles, but it has more soldiers and horses defending. Shi Fu led two thousand Ming troops, two thousand pirates, three hundred Dutchmen, and about one There are more than 300 Westerners, this is not the Dutch, there are Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Venetians, Greeks, I heard that there are Japanese businessmen, and some Nanyang and Nanyang locals do not know People of what race are defending, with a total force of about 1 troops."

"This Westerner likes to give a code name to the next generation of mixed races and nationalities." Zhang Qiang is not worried at this time, anyway, there will be only one kind of people at that time, the Han people.

"In this way, I will transfer some ships from my fleet to form a task force, and I will personally lead the troops to attack them with you, and turn Treasure Island into the world of our Han people as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiang looked at Zheng Chenggong with strange eyes. He was born of Han Chinese and Japanese, and he didn't know what the Dutch would call him.

Ha ha.

Chapter 197 Chasing the Murder [-]

Suksaha was so anxious that he kept yelling, insulting, and kicking those Goshha followers in the city of Shaoxing Prefecture, but all of those followers were pale with fright, even if Suksaha urged them again, they They also shook their heads one after another, and went out without troops to face the Jinhua rebel troops that Wei Wuji had brought to besiege the city.

Tens of thousands of defeated remnants of the Qing soldiers were hoarded in the city of Shaoxing Prefecture. They were dejected, their soldiers had no fighting spirit, and their generals had no will to fight.

First, it was bombarded, and the iron eggs with the mouth of a bowl flew over from a distance of thousands of meters, and the dense cavalry troops were immediately opened a bloody passage. If there was only one door, it would be fine. They rushed to the front of the Ming army without fear of death, and then used the huge momentum and prestige of the Qing soldiers to fight from north to south, chasing the officers and soldiers of the Ming army, and killing them all the way. But the current Ming army, they are not afraid, they have many guns ah.

Dozens of cannons are blown down, even the most elite Jurchen cavalry and Jurchen warriors, if they have not seen the enemy, they will die on the way of charging. The rushing Qing soldiers exhausted their last ounce of courage.

The piles of corpses and the relentless gunfire made them feel that they would become corpses in the next moment, but the price they paid was completely unrewarded.

That's what they're afraid of.

It’s not that they don’t have muskets. The muskets of the Ming Dynasty are everywhere. The army is equipped with three or four piles of musketeers. They always thought they were fire sticks, but now they don’t think they are fire sticks. They are life-threatening chains of fire. .

The Qing soldiers were not without firearms, nor were they without cannons, but compared with the Ming army, all the cannon and musket troops they sent were wiped out, which only caused a little panic to the enemy. He was beaten down by the infantry of the Ming army guarding the firearms.

One unit, two units, one team, two teams, the Qing soldiers searched all over the place, and the remnants of the Qing army were beaten back. Two battles of tens of thousands of people were organized, and they were defeated. The Jinhua rebels approached step by step. To encircle the city of Shaoxing Prefecture.

Just now, more than 30 enemy Hongyi cannons shelled the city wall, and the cannons on the city wall returned fire a few times, either exploding or being destroyed, or the artillerymen fired one or two shots, and the enemy's shells had not fired yet. When they hit them, they left the gun emplacement and ran away.

Today, the enemy's small cannons have been pushed to the bottom of the city wall, bombarding the city wall non-stop, and the Qing soldiers have no one to go up the city wall, forcing the Han army flag to go up, the Han army flag to force the green battalion to go up, and the green battalion to force the Minzhuang But Min Zhuang died within two hours, and if he went to catch him again, he would never be caught again.

The green battalion had to bite the bullet and go up. It didn't take half an hour to go up, and then retreated with a crash. Everyone was dressed in rags, their faces were full of gunpowder smoke, their bodies were covered in blood, their weapons were all lost, and many soldiers went crazy.

This time the Han army flag had no way to force them to go up, so they had to go up by themselves, and within a quarter of an hour, they all fled down and lost more than half, and then no matter how the Qing soldiers urged them, no one went up.

The Qing soldiers didn't have the guts to go up on their own, because they were already terrified by the bombing outside the city.

So now there is no guard on the wall.

"Block the four city gates for me. If the Ming army wants to come in, just climb in." Suksaha had no choice.

The scouts who had just been sent to ask for reinforcements came back, and they told him that the Hangzhou government had no troops to send, and the Ming army was also approaching the Hangzhou government. The fighting there was more intense, and there were more Ming troops.

Don't count on the scouts sent to Nanjing for help, maybe the city will fall anytime soon.
