Blue Star On May 30, 1866, the Pacific Fleet sailed to the coast of Sri City, preparing to launch an attack.
"The main gun is ready to be recharged, aiming at Sri City!"
Ding Ruchang issued the order slowly. There were not many defenders in the city. This battle may be the easiest sea landing battle in so long.
"Report Captain, something is wrong."
the lookout shouted.
"What?! What happened?"
Ding Ruchang quickly took out his telescope and carefully observed the situation in Sri City.
I saw a big white flag slowly rising in Sri City. The soldiers on the city wall were all waving small white flags and did not carry weapons.
"Could it be a fake surrender by the enemy? We'd better be careful."
The adjutant reminded Ding Ruchang.
"I will go directly to the city to accept their surrender and you will know the truth. If I can't come back, you will help me take revenge."
Ding Ruchang prepared to take the Chinese frigate to land.
The adjutant blocked the way.
"You are the admiral of our country. You cannot take this risk. Let me do it."
"There is no difference between revolution and revolution. It is best if we can win the city without casualties. I have been able to show enough sincerity in the past."
"You make way for me, so that the descendants of China can live a happier life. Even if I really die, it will still be worth it."
Ding Ruchang pushed aside his adjutant and landed on the coast of Macheng on a Chinese frigate, accompanied by dozens of soldiers.
Sri City is located on a huge island. The climate here is hot and rainy all year round, so the city is surrounded by dense forests.
Sure enough, the city gate was wide open, and the Mizi Army was lined up on the left and right, each holding a small white flag.
Seeing Ding Ruchang walking quickly, the commander of Mi Ziguo quickly ran over to greet him.
"Hello, sir! Our soldiers are willing to surrender. I just hope that you can treat everyone here preferentially."
The commander of the Mizi Kingdom lowered his head and handed over his Western sword with both hands to show his sincerity.
"Our country has always treated prisoners favorably. We will provide you with enough food and will not harm anyone."
Ding Ruchang took the Western sword from the commander's hand.
This will be the territory of China from now on, and the accompanying soldiers raised the Chinese flag in Sri City.
All prisoners were transported back to China for reform in the same way, and they were allowed to return after enough study time.
Yacheng also showed no resistance and followed the example of Sri City and surrendered.
However, the situation in Macheng is more complicated. There are not only the troops of the Mizi Country, but also the troops of the Bullfighting Country. The Bullfighting Country has colonized here for many years.
The army of the Mizi country wants to surrender, but the army of the Bullfighting country has never fought with the Chinese navy, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Blue Star On June 5, 1866, the Pacific Fleet arrived near the coast of Macheng.
The commander of the Bullfighting Kingdom was also a real tiger. He prepared 100 cannons on the coast, and every soldier stood ready beside the cannons.
Ding Ruchang used his binoculars to look at the bullfighting country's posture and realized that it would be impossible without a fight.
"Attention all, the main guns are aimed at the artillery on the coast, loaded with shells, and ready to fire."
The soldiers on the "Blue Whale" began to run. The firing of a main gun required 10 soldiers to operate together.
"Report, ready."
yelled the soldier filling the cannonball.
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
boom! boom! boom!
The commander of the Bullfighting Country was stunned. In this era, there were cannons that could shoot such a distance, and they were so powerful.
"Sir, our cannons don't have enough range, what should we do?"
The Bullfighting Soldiers questioned the commander.
"There is no way to fight this battle. No wonder the Mi Country wants to surrender. Run quickly and prepare to surrender."
Yesterday I was still laughing at the general of Mi Zi Country for being cowardly, but I didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face so soon.
After three rounds of artillery fire, the soldiers of the Bullfighting Nation suffered heavy casualties. Of the 100 cannons they brought out, only 20 were left without firing a single shot. It was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.
In the end, all the soldiers in Macheng chose to surrender.
At this point, the Southeast Peninsula and the Southeast Islands were all integrated into China, and a total of 30,000 Mizi troops, 10,000 Gallic troops, and 3,000 Bulldog troops all went to China to study.
Now the situation in Nanzhou is more complicated. Originally there were only more than 500,000 people here. Because gold mines were discovered in Mocheng, a gold rush broke out, which attracted a large number of immigrants. Now the population has reached more than 1 million. The population here is mainly Concentrated in the southeast, the central part is a large area of desert.
The eastern part of Nanzhou is the colonial autonomous government, and the western part is the territory of the Mi Country. In the final analysis, these are all people of the Mi Country. However, after they got here and fought for independence, the indigenous people here were driven out and exterminated.
This is also an important supply point for the U.S. Navy, so in order to achieve future maritime hegemony, this place must be captured.
However, the monarch of the rice country has not yet thought of suing for peace. This is a common weakness of most people. They refuse to stop their losses, just like playing stocks. They fall a little and refuse to sell until they fall to nothing. But he sold it all on his own initiative.
Blue Star On June 15, 1866, Zeng Guofan led five regiments to land in the eastern part of Nanzhou dozens of kilometers away from Xicheng.
Nanzhou now only has a population of over 1 million, but covers an area of more than 7 million square kilometers. It is almost the place with the smallest population density in the world. The number of troops in the entire Nanzhou is less than 100,000. After it is defeated, the Chinese people can come over. Engage in agriculture and breeding.
Blue Star On June 20, 1866, the Chinese 20th Army and the 21st Army began to attack Xicheng.
There is not even a city wall here. Maybe they never dreamed that a country could attack here.
The army here was unprepared. It was the first time they saw such a big scene. There were nearly two hundred thousand people in the two armies, and each person could drown them with spit.
A battalion commander of the 20th Army took the lead in the charge. There was no resistance along the way. After knocking down several enemy troops, he got lost in Xicheng.
It can be seen that the gap is so big.
Blue Star On June 30, 1866, the Chinese army had captured the main city wall in the southeast of Nanzhou. There was not much resistance from the American army and the so-called colonial autonomous government here.
The king of Mizi Kingdom couldn't sit still at all. He didn't expect China to be so ruthless and keep beating. He thought that when he conquered the Qing Dynasty, he would also beat and blackmail him.
What the king of Mizi Country is afraid of is not that Nanzhou will be lost, because Nanzhou was just a place where prisoners were exiled at the beginning. If it is lost, it will be lost.
What he is really afraid of is that Huaxia will go to the printing area, which is a key place for making money in the United States. The annual output value accounts for half of their country's total output value.
The letter that the United States wanted peace talks was placed on my office desktop the next day.
Shi Dakai took the letter and walked straight to the Central Staff Conference Room, summoning the staff to discuss their opinions...
