Chapter 461: The City of Geranza

Juyong Pass was captured by the Qing army in one fell swoop when the defenders were defenseless. These disguised Qing troops were originally put into the pass by them, so they were careless.

After Jierharang led more than 10,000 remnants of the Qing army through Juyong Pass, leaving 2,000 Han army flags to guard the original Ming army and defend together, he rushed to Xifengkou non-stop.

After Lu Xiangsheng led the Ming army to Juyong Pass, he immediately ordered the Ming army to rush to the pass, but Juyong Pass was a Xiong Pass, although the Qing army did not have many troops left, but it was not a time and a half to conquer.

The shouting of killing in front of Juyong Pass shook the sky, and the Ming army tentatively attacked twice, and after nearly 1,000 casualties, Lu Xiangsheng ordered to suspend the attack and build siege equipment.

Li Zixuan couldn't stand it anymore in the back, his armored command car drove all the way to Lu Xiangsheng, and after getting out of the car, he saluted Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Li Zixuan, the commander of the third regiment of the Tiance Army, has seen Governor Lu, and the task of attacking the front and attacking the city is still completed by our Tiance Army." ”

Lu Xiangsheng had been captured by the Tiance Army, an unnatural look flashed on his face, and he nodded: "Okay, I will order the officers and soldiers to assist behind." ”

He knew that the Tiance Army had strong firepower and fierce artillery fire, so he just wanted to see how well the Tiance Army was able to siege the city.

The Ming army got out of the way, and the third regiment and the Baoding army drove to Juyong Pass, which was an important pass of the Great Wall, so there was no moat. The mortars of the Tiance Army began to set up artillery positions, and the twelve recoilless guns fired three rounds of shells in a row at the gate, and the shells continued to explode on the huge gate, and finally they were torn apart, and the shells of the recoilless guns swept the city behind the gate unimpeded.

Immediately the mortar "all through!" "Began to shell the defenders on the wall of Juyongguan, and the rate of fire of forty-eight mortars every ten seconds made the defenders on the city wall cry and shout for their mothers and dodge one after another. After a while, it was difficult to see a figure on the city walls.

Li Zixuan gave an order, 36 armored vehicles attacked the pass one after another, the Qing army on the city wall saw the enemy entering the pass, and ran down the city wall to intercept the armored car, and then the dense vehicle machine gun sound sounded in the pass, the Qing army fell in pieces, and the third regiment and the Baoding army also followed and poured into Juyong Pass.

The Tiance army attacked the city so sharply and broke through the pass so quickly, seeing that the Ming army behind it gasped. A Xiongguan like Juyong Pass, in the era of cold weapons, did not take a few days, and it was difficult to overcome several times the number of troops.

After enjoying the siege performance of the Tiance army, and seeing that the Tiance army had all entered the pass, Lu Xiangsheng reacted from the shock and ordered: "Huang Degong's troops will stay behind to guard the pass, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will follow me to chase the enemy." ”

Juyongguan bought some more time for Jierharang, and the remnants of more than 8,000 Qing troops rushed to Dushikou, and the third regiment of the Tiance Army finally caught up with the tail of the Qing army near Zhenning Fort, and more than 1,000 Han army banner infantry.

The remaining more than 7,000 Qing troops are all cavalry, the foot is very fast, this side is a continuous mountainous area, affecting the marching speed of the Tiance army, after two days and one night of pursuit, the third regiment finally pursued to the Dushikou Pass, at this time the Qing army has passed the pass for half a day.

The Tiance Army had no cavalry, pursued through the mountains for more than two hundred kilometers, and taking into account the fuel consumption on the return journey, the 3rd Regiment stopped the pursuit. Although the Ming army had strong troops and a lot of cavalry, no one did such a job as crossing the Great Wall to pursue the Qing army, so the battle to encircle and suppress the Qing army in Guan could only be declared over.

After two days of encirclement and pursuit, more than 13,000 Qing troops were killed, nearly 2,000 were wounded or captured, and about 5,000 escaped.

Chongzhen issued an order to strictly investigate the relevant responsible persons, and the Dushikou guard and Juyong guard were taken down and put into prison, and became a scapegoat, and Xie Baoqing, the secretary of the military department, was punished for one year for the crime of not investigating. Originally, the Xuanda Governorate was also responsible, but Governor Lu Xiangsheng was not in Xuanda at that time, so he was dealt with lightly and was also punished for one year.

This is the result of the court's handling, which can be regarded as an explanation to all parties.

Afterwards, Wang Yue exchanged views with Wang Zhuo, Li Zixuan, Huang Bo and others by telegram, believing that things could not be so simple.

The news obtained from the prisoners that the Qing army should indeed be put in, and the relevant responsible persons were quickly brought to justice by the imperial court, and the specific details of the starting point city could not intervene in the detailed investigation, so it could only strengthen vigilance and investigation.

September 2 of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

In the city of Geranza in southern Taiwan, groups of topless men, mostly Gaoshan and Han Chinese, are walking the streets carrying heavy baskets on their backs.

Although the Dutch came to Taiwan for a much shorter time than the Spaniards, the Dutch at this time were known as sea coachmen, and with their strong national and naval strength, they soon built the city of Geranza and the fortress of Chichi. Among them, the city of Geranza is the most, the whole city took more than ten years to build, and it is also the center of the Dutch rule in Taiwan, which not only houses the Dutch family members in Taiwan, but also has nearly 2,000 Dutch soldiers stationed all year round.

The Dutch governor in Taiwan, Putmans, sat on a spire of the tallest building in the city of Geranza, and looked at the ant-sized crowd below, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

It has been three years since he came to Taiwan, and Putmans has completely changed from the mentality of being "assigned" when he first came to the university.

Taiwan is a good place to visit, there are rice, cane sugar, but also tobacco, hemp, ginger, cotton cash crops.

Every year, more and more people were handed over to the East India Company, and the Dutch government and the East India Company were more and more important.

And while enjoying a paradise-like life here, he also earned a lot of money enough to enjoy his old age, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Putmans can't remember who sent him to Taiwan in the first place, but now Putmans still wants to thank the bastard who sent him to Taiwan, if he hadn't been able to make money in just three years that he couldn't earn in the Netherlands for decades.

"It's a nice day!" Putmans stretched his long waist, reached out and took a sip of his teacup, then frowned and shouted outside, "Edie, get me a hot cup of tea...... Edie...... Damn this slacker is deaf? ”

"It's coming, it's coming......!"

After a while, a fair-skinned Caucasian woman in a long yellow dress walked in from outside with a tray and placed a cup of tea in front of him.

Seeing the visitor, Putmans asked strangely, "Dear Belinda, why are you...... Where did Edie go? Is that slacker lazy again? ”

This charming and plump Caucasian woman is Belinda, the wife of Putmans.
