Chapter 489: Xinxiang in North America

On September 3, 1658, King Olive Cromwell of England died of illness and was succeeded by his son Richard Cromwell. The day after Richard Cromwell succeeded to the throne, he decided to end the Second Anglo-Dutch War, which lasted for three years.

Gu Lingfeng, the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Rites in London, who was recently sent to Britain, asked Gao Junshan for instructions on how Huaxia would deal with the Anglo-Dutch armistice. Gao Junshan sent a telegram to Gu Lingfeng, telling him that the Anglo-Dutch armistice was okay, and that an armistice agreement must be signed with the Netherlands on the side of China and Britain, and that the places occupied by China during the war must be recognized by the Netherlands before the armistice agreement can take effect.

The tens of thousands of troops of the West Bank Army of the Americas landed on the banks of the Casacoquam River, because it was expected to land at Xijing (Bessel), because the river channel in Xijing was too narrow, so the seventeen ships of the fleet anchored on the Casacoquam River and landed in small speedboats from several locations.

The landing force was concentrated on the right bank of the river and landed, after which everyone could be concentrated.

The first speedboat to go ashore was the first company and one squad of the Third Regiment of the Sixth Division, and the squad leader was Sun Cai.

Sun Cai couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, he thought that stepping on the land of America was equivalent to returning home, he didn't know, North America alone, covering an area of more than 2,400 square kilometers, quite more than twice the mainland of China, he is now stepping on the west coast of North America, which is five or six thousand kilometers away from their home in a straight line, not to mention crossing mountains and rivers.

Xizhou, that is, Alaska in later generations, is blocked by high mountains in the north, and the south is affected by the Alaskan warm current, and the temperature is higher; Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the wind is light; There is less precipitation, more sunny days, and well-developed waterway transportation.

Sun Cai led a group of soldiers to the shore, the river bank was flat, overgrown with vegetation, about 800 meters offshore, there was a small hill, the hill was bare, he decided to occupy this hill first, and then conduct a comprehensive search. He gestured to the class and walked first towards the hill bag with his Minnie gun.

A group of soldiers followed Sun Cai in a straggler formation, vigilantly observing the movements around them one by one.

"Strange, why isn't there even a bird?"

Sun Cai, who was striding forward, couldn't help but draw a big question mark in his heart, and he reminded himself that the calmer the place, the more murderous intentions were hidden.

He glanced back at his soldier, then made another gesture to widen the search.

Just as he was approaching the hill, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and he saw an arrow flying towards his faΓ§ade, and he rolled in a carp, avoiding the arrow, and the whole person lay on the edge of a puddle.

"Smack!" With a bang, the soldiers behind him fired a shot at the hill bag, and a man fell from a boulder, and then a noise was heard, and Sun could see a group of people from the mountains and fields running away from behind the mountain bag.

"Indians!"

Someone behind Sun Cai shouted.

He stood up and waved his hand, and the whole class began to run towards the hill, and two soldiers ran directly onto the boulder and fired their guns into the sky, scaring the Indians around them.

Sun Cai came to the Indian who had fallen to the ground, and the Indian was shot in the thigh, and he saw that someone had gathered around him, and he began to scream.

"Wang Hao, bandage this Indian!"

After Sun Cai gave orders to his soldiers, he strode up the boulder.

"Squad leader, the Indians are gone." A soldier who had just released his gun reported to Sun Cai.

Sun Cai looked in the direction of the Indians' escape for a while, and then said to the two soldiers: "You continue to monitor!" ”

He came to the edge of the boulder and looked down, and under the boulder was a slope, from which the Indian who shot the arrow at him fell, and he first fell on the slope, and then rolled down the bottom of the slope, and jumped more than two meters from the boulder, which is why the Indian was not thrown to his death.

Sun Cai saw that there was a bow on the ground, and he picked it up. He asked the deputy squad leader to lead the soldiers to expand the search, and asked Wang Hao and another soldier to carry the wounded Indians back to shore.

Sun Cai returned to the shore, and the company commander Liao Youzhi had just gone ashore.

"How's it going?" The company commander asked.

Sun Cai saluted and said, "We found an Indian on the other side of the mountain bag, we wounded one, and the rest fled." ”

The wounded Indian was laid on the grass and was still screaming.

Liao Youzhi glanced at it and said to Sun Cai: "Go back, hand over this Indian to me, strengthen vigilance, and don't let the Indians approach." ”

Sun Cai handed a bow to the company commander Liao Youzhi: "This is the weapon of this Indian, but he is attacking me with this bow, and it was my soldiers who wounded him." ”

Liao Youzhi took the bow, then handed the bow to the guards beside him, and said to Sun Cai: "Return to your post." ”

"Obey!"

Sun Cai left with two soldiers.

"Medic!" Liao Youzhi shouted loudly.

A medic ran over.

"I'll leave this Indian to you!"

……

After the Marines came ashore, they set up camp on the banks of the river that night, and the next day a dozen urban engineers disembarked from the passenger liner to survey the best place to build the city along the Casacoquaim River.

Originally, the city was built in Xijing, because the river channel in Xijing was too narrow, and the 10,000-ton wheel could not be opened, Gao Junshan, in view of this situation, decided to choose a place near the mouth of the Casacoquam River to build the city, and required that the selected place could build a 10,000-ton ship wharf.

It only took half a day for the engineers to determine the location of the city, and after the location was selected, a large number of urban construction workers began to go ashore.

On the third deck of "Jinling No. 1", Gao Junshan and Marven were watching the busy construction workers on the shore.

"Father, please give this city a name, this is the first city we have built here."

This is the second time Marven has asked Gao Junshan for a name for the city. Gao Junshan has already taken the name of a city, this city can no longer be called Xijing, Gao Junshan thought for a moment, and said: "Do you think it's good to call it Xinxiang?" ”

Marven applauded: "Great, Xinxiang, this is our new hometown, this city is called Xinxiang." ”

Marven was happy, and Zhang Guoyuan, the commander of the Sixth Marine Division, came to report that the wounded Indian could speak.

"Can you communicate with him?" Gao Junshan asked.

Zhang Guoyuan replied: "At first, he was very emotional, and then Company Commander Liao returned his bow to him, and his emotions stabilized, but we couldn't understand what he said, so we could only use gestures to do some simple communication." ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "You should communicate with him patiently, and after you have reformed him, you can let him go back, so that you can reduce the killing of the Indian tribes." ”
