In less than a moment, the Air Force's 96 flying vehicles had finished dropping bombs and then turned around and returned home.

At the same time as the air force returned, 48 Zheng He-class and Zhou-Yu-class cruisers anchored off the port of Geranza began to bombard the city.

With the rumbling of artillery, the 3rd Division of the Army began to rush to the beach.

Along with the 3rd Division of the Army, there was also the Shen Artillery Battalion.

When Trop, Leyint and other Dutch admirals were escorted to the deck of the Zheng He to watch the battle, the Ming army had already established positions in the port of Geranza.

The God Artillery Battalion also began to assemble and erect God artillery.

Looking at the divine cannons that pointed diagonally into the sky, Trop, Leyint and the others were like ashes.

Before today, Trop and the others had fantasized about relying on a powerful naval fleet to conquer the Ming Dynasty and nip this dangerous opponent in the bud before the Ming Navy became stronger.

But now, they're realizing how ridiculous the idea is.

It was also at this time that they discovered that the Ming Navy was not about to become stronger, but had already become strong, and it was already so strong that they could not imagine it.

The naval guns of the Ming Navy were more powerful than those of the Dutch Navy.

The Ming Navy also has warships that can fly in the sky and can drop bombs from overhead.

There are also the unknown weapons in front of me, just looking at them from a distance makes people shudder.

It didn't take long for the Ming army on the sea paralysis to assemble the unknown weapon, and then, a scene that made Trop, Leyint and others terrified appeared, only to see a rocket roaring into the air from these weapon racks, drawing a parabola in the air, and then falling on the head of the city of Geranza.

Immediately clouds of smoke and dust rose from the head of the city of Geranza and in the city.

The smoke and dust that would rise was much more powerful than the previous aerial bombardment and the shelling of naval guns, and the huge clouds of smoke and dust like mushrooms almost obscured the sky.

Even from afar, the huge sound wave can still shatter the eardrum.

Trop couldn't help but glance at Leinte, a little glad in his heart.

Thanks to their defeat and capture by the Ming army, if they were to defend the city of Geranza, even if they were not killed, they would be shocked to death by the sound wave generated by the explosion, or torn apart by the air wave generated by the explosion.

After about half an hour, after the Shen Artillery Battalion had completed a wave of firepower, the 3rd Army Division dispatched a battalion and began to launch a tentative attack on the city of Geranza.

More than 500 Ming soldiers opened the wavy skirmish line and slowly moved forward with rifles.

With the evolution of rifles, the Ming army no longer needed to rely on line formations in battle.

In fact, the dense line formation was not only not a help for the current Ming army, but a burden.

Because the current Ming army does not need to ensure the density of firepower through dense line formations, with heavy machine guns, only a small number of infantry can ensure the density of firepower.

When it was still seven or eight hundred meters away from the city of Geranza, the machine gun company stopped, and set up the six multi-barreled heavy machine guns and six mortars belonging to the machine gun company, ready to provide fire support to the infantry at any time.

The three infantry companies pulled the skirmish line wider and the front and rear spacing wider.

With the current straggler formation of the Ming army, the Hongyi cannon loading solid bullets in this era basically does not pose a threat, and only the close-range loading of shotguns is still a bit of a threat.

Peng Ada, with his rifle in hand, walked at the front of the line.

Peng Adaa is also a veteran of a hundred battles, he not only participated in the pacification of the Shadingzhou Rebellion in Yunnan, but also stationed in Tianjin, and participated in the Battle of Bali Bridge, and made great contributions.

Nowadays, Peng Ada's small life should not be too comfortable.

However, Peng Adaa is still looking forward to getting back on the battlefield.

Because one of his wives and concubines bore him six sons and five daughters.

Although there are 25 acres of land gifted by the imperial court, Peng Adaa still feels a lot of pressure, so he dreams of being able to set foot on the battlefield again and win a piece of military merit.

The story of the 1st and 2nd divisions

He's already heard.

The 20,000 town soldiers recruited by the 2nd Division are said to have given each of them 10 widows and 200 acres of land.

The 20,000 town soldiers of the 1st Division also divided ten Korean women and 200 acres of land each.

Peng Adaa never thought of marrying an indigenous girl in Nanyang, because the indigenous girl in Nanyang is black and ugly, and she can't compare with a wife and a concubine in her hometown, but his wife and concubine are white and beautiful.

[In view of the general environment,

But Peng Ada's dream is that he wants 200 acres of grace and land.

With these 200 acres of land, his six sons will not have to worry about having nothing to eat when they grow up.

Because of this, Peng Ada's heart was hot, and his steps became extremely brisk.

After a while, Peng Adaa came to the outside of the city of Geranza.

The city of Gelanza is different from those cities in the Ming Dynasty, at most it can only be regarded as a castle, the scale is small, the city wall is not high, at most it is more than three meters, or the inclined wall, you can climb up.

On the periphery of the city of Geranza there was a wide ditch.

The trenches are covered with sharp bamboo thorns and pointed wooden stakes.

There was also a gentle slope protection outside the moat to protect the city walls.

This is a typical bastion, which can effectively resist the direct fire of artillery.

But for bombardment from the air, as well as curved fire from long-range artillery, the bastion was poorly defended, or very bad, as can be seen from the city of Geranza.

The walls of the city of Geranza and the outer foxholes were blown to pieces.

There were large smoking craters everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

Peng Adaa even saw a Dutch soldier with only half of his body left, but he hadn't swallowed his breath yet, and when he saw Peng Ada's slow coming with a rifle, he actually squeezed out a flattering smile on his face.

Obviously, this soldier hoped that Peng Ada's men would show mercy.

Peng Ada did not hesitate to stab down, and as a result, this Dutch soldier was merciful.

Stepping over the outer foxholes, and then over the trenches, Pena stepped through the gaps in the collapsed walls, and was the first to climb the top of the city of Geranza, and then finally saw the Dutch soldiers still alive.

A smoky Dutch soldier crawls towards a red cannon.

It seems that this Dutch soldier wanted to fire artillery to block the attack of the Ming army.

Peng Adaa decisively pulled the trigger, a gunshot rang out, and the Dutch soldiers did not move again.

More Ming soldiers climbed up through the gap and immediately began to search the city.

Eventually, they found more than 500 corpses in the city of Geranza, in addition to a large number of severed limbs, and fewer than 300 captives alive.

Then, the Ming army suffered zero casualties, not even a single wounded.

In February of the 26th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1653), the Ming army occupied the city of Gelanza, killing and wounding more than 1,300 Dutch troops, and the Ming army itself did not suffer any casualties, creating an unprecedented miracle in the military history of China.

……

The military occupation of the city of Geranza and the expulsion of the Dutch were only the beginning.

The next step is to reclaim the treasure island of Taiwan and pioneer a real challenge.

The most important thing is the lack of manpower, and the Ming Dynasty still has the ability to carry out large-scale immigration to Taiwan for the time being.

Since Chongzhen 20 years, with the establishment of women's and children's hospitals in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other large cities, the infant mortality rate in Daming has dropped significantly, so the population has grown explosively, but the time is too short, as of today, the first wave of baby boom children are only six years old.

It will take at least 12 years for this wave of children to become adults.

So now, the local human resources in Jiangnan are not enough, and they have to buy laborers from the Japanese land, North Korea, and even Nanyang, so they have no ability to immigrate to Taiwan.

But you can't do nothing.

So Chong

Zhen thought of setting up a construction corps in Taiwan.

It doesn't take too much, it is enough to leave a regiment of town soldiers in Taiwan.

Chongzhen sent someone to find Peng Ada, and Chongzhen was deeply impressed by Peng Ada.

"Peng Ada, I plan to leave a regiment of town soldiers to garrison Taiwan for a long time, can you take the lead for the imperial court? Of course, I will give you the best conditions."

"Like the soldiers guarding the land and the towns of Korea, each person will be rewarded with 200 acres of land."

"You can also marry a few more concubines like the soldiers of the Japanese land and Korea."

Speaking of this, he said: "Your 25 acres of land in Yuezhou Mansion are still kept, and in the future, your eldest son can go back to inherit when he reaches adulthood.

With the incorporation of Outer Mongolia, Wadi and Korea into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty or Chongzhen has explored a model for how to govern these new lands and the aborigines on the land.

To put it simply, it is to send town soldiers, in addition to farming or grazing, town soldiers also need to cooperate with local businesses to engage in slave trade, the long-term goal is to replace the race of people, the aborigines on these lands one by one replaced, three generations later, in these lands are the people of the Ming Dynasty, speaking are official, writing are also Chinese characters.

After hearing this, Peng Adaa hesitated a little, and whispered, "Holy Lord, of course it's okay for me to take the lead, but can I not take an indigenous woman as a concubine? You don't know, these indigenous women are black and ugly, and sleeping with them in their arms at night will give you nightmares."

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Of course this won't force you, so you might as well tell me where you like the woman?"

Peng Adaa scratched his head and said with a smile: "Our women in Xiangxi are quite good, of course, it is okay to have women in the Japanese land and North Korea, but the indigenous women in Nanyang don't want it."

"Yes, whatever you want." Chongzhen said with a smile, "Then you will go back to your hometown in Xiangxi to find it, but I have said it first, I will not bear the bride price of your concubines, you will pay it yourself, and besides, the court will reward you with the reward field, whether it is in the reward field of Yuezhou Mansion or the vocational field here, you are not allowed to sell it for money."

"Definitely not going to sell the land." Peng Ah was overjoyed.
