Chapter 178 Rio (5)
The chapters that are updated in the middle of the night are usually anti-daoban chapters. I have tried to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching them at this time. Generally, anti-daoban chapters will be modified to the correct content at least half an hour.
It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.
At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.
There are few people reading niche books, and daoban is rampant. There is no way, I can't make it if I don't do this, I'm sorry.
"Open the way!" New Army Captain Xiao Baitu waved his hand and hundreds of soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Island, who acted as a vanguard, embarked on the road with spears and drooped on the road dejectedly.
A heavy rain had just ended in the wild, which made the ground look quite muddy. However, in the eyes of the East Coast people who were entering the East Coast, what is this little difficulty?
The violent northwest wind blew over with a large pile of raindrops. This is the case in this season. Anticyclones from the Indian Ocean retreated to the south, affecting the attenuation, reducing the intensity of trade winds, and increasing instability. At the same time, the southward advance of the equatorial air mass and the expansion of certain low-pressure belts to Mozambique and New China Island bring the so-called summer "monsoon" of westerly wind-north wind to the western and northern parts of the island.
This season is therefore characterized by an instability caused by the alternation of two wind systems, which can be felt even within a day. Especially when the wind blows from the west, it can almost cause storms, and its most violent time is often at night; and when the wind blows from the high ground (usually the southeast wind), the weather is clear, but the sun shines strongly and the evaporation is strong, and its heat is far higher than other parts of the island.
This is the climate of the Daqing Basin in the western half of New China Island. During the hot season, it is like this, so terrifying! Now, Xiao Baitu's troops that marched from Beiping Fort to the Qilibishina River just now lost almost all their supplies because of the bad weather. Several medium-sized fishing boats departed from Mianhe Port originally planned to sail to the anchorage of the Qilibishina River and then handed over a large amount of supplies to Xiao Baitu's troops. Unfortunately, this small fleet was wiped out in the Mozambique Strait due to bad weather. Xiao Baitu was also the news that he had just received from a surviving sailor, which undoubtedly made all the soldiers, including him, extremely frustrated. · 1
However, even though most of the supplies were lost, Xiao Baitu did not intend to stop marching immediately. While sending people to Mianhe Port to organize the second batch of supplies, he ordered the Eight Banners of the Island to continue searching along the Tsilibishina River. His determination to capture the fortress of Tsilibishina City was quite firm.
The city was ruled by Qimaratonna, who had already established himself as the new king of Boyra Kingdom in Marenga. There were more than 3,000 people, but most of them were cold weapons and no one had a single mesh gun. The reason for this situation was that as the Second Fleet of the East Coast Navy increased its patrol in the Mozambique Strait, external interference forces (mainly British, French, Portuguese and other countries, but it was not ruled out that Dutch merchants sold firearms to them) traded with them greatly increased, which made Qimaratonna pay more attention to the stock muskets he had at his hands than at any time. After all, this thing was not enough to be supplemented, and one less was broken, which was very precious. Therefore, more than 2,000 musketeers under his command were now concentrated in Marenga's place and were temporarily unable to take into account the periphery.
As for his elder brother, Qi Malong Galiflo, he took the old and young men of the Kingdom of Menap, and a large number of troops to swear on the banks of the Sophie River north of Marenga, and then flowed upwards and marched eastward along the low valley, conquering a large number of local tribes with his powerful combat power. At present, his vanguard has appeared at the source of the Sophia River, and is very close to Antongier Bay, and has basically breathed the wet air on the east coast - but the future of the Kingdom of Menapia is likely to end there. They are in this awkward position. The east faces the challenge of the Bezimisalaka people, and the south is threatened by the Melina people (the Melina people on the Central Plains Plateau have not yet been unified). In the north, they may also encounter the harassment of the Eight Banners of the East Coast Islands in the future, and life is destined not to be easy.
...
After a day of travel, on April 1, the army arrived at the periphery of the city of Chilibishina. One of the Eight Banners, the island, was the pioneer, fought against the enemy. With the help of superior forces, he won the small victory and returned with more than 30 levels. The Sakaravas also retreated into the city of Chilibishina, which is a mixed structure of civil and industrial structure.
"The remnants of the Monaber Kingdom are now divided into two parts. One occupies the northwest of New China Island and the other intends to develop in the northeast. Our goal is to seize the opportunity to defeat the unstable Boyla Kingdom, namely the Qimaladongna tribe.·1kanshu·cc This guy just defeated Marenjia City, and the wealth accumulated by hundreds of years of locality has fallen into his hands. As the saying goes, wealth is moving, and all of you are old and young. Now let's make a fortune. How about it?" Seeing that the camel caravan carrying so little that it was very easy to carry.
With the poor supplies, Xiao Baitu felt that he needed to come out and boost morale: "Of course, now the navy has blocked the entire strait, and these natives of Sakarava are hard to escape. We are not in a hurry to kill the galloping horse Renga to twist off Qimaladongna's dog head. Since our superiors ask us to take action more steadily and take every step forward, then let's have some fun with these natives. I want to capture the city of Chilibishina, which is close to me and pull out the first nail to go north. Do you have confidence?"
"Wansheng!" The "support" of Hitotaro responded immediately with his officers, followed by Zhai Xiaoshan's troops, and finally, the slightly slow-responsive army of Poland, Ottoman and the Eight Banners of the Island.
After a simple military mobilization, the battle will come! There is no trick to talk about this, because the supply ship sank on the sea, Xiao Baitu ordered the only four artillery and some ammunition to be taken out, and cooperate with the local soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Island to launch a fierce attack on Qilibishina City.
Under the command of the officers, six or seven hundred local soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Island held spears, machetes, bows and arrows and other cold weapons, holding a bright red flag, screaming and rushing towards the city wall that was only one person high. The battle has entered a white heat from the beginning. The two Malay tribes, which were perhaps brothers a thousand years ago, are now their masters, and they each took their weapons to greet their compatriots in their bloodlines. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel, and casualties on both sides were also increasing sharply.
However, perhaps because of insufficient troops or because of insufficient spirit, the Eight Banners of the Islands were irresistible after fighting under the city wall for a while. Even a brave general of Sakarava rushed out of the city gate with a large group of warriors, chasing the Eight Banners of the Islands who were retreating - but he soon paid the price for his frivolous behavior. Xiao Baitu ordered the artillery to replace all four artillery artillery bombs and attack the battlefield where the enemy and us were in a row. Both the Eight Banners of the Islands and the Sakarava people were killed and injured at this moment. The brave enemy general seemed to have been hit by a flying iron nail and fell down unwillingly.
"Let you show off." Xiao Baitu muttered in a low voice, then walked into the battle and watched Hitotaro and others slowly gather the retreating Eight Banners local soldiers of the island. He did not lose his temper, but quietly looked at the panicked servants. After a while, he said weakly: "Change another group of local soldiers and continue the attack."
This time, the generals of the local soldiers were more cautious. When they rushed to the city wall, they did not rush up and attacked fiercely. Instead, they used a group of hundreds of people as a small group and cooperated with each other in a regular manner. At the same time, they also asked the East Coast artillery to push up four artillery pieces, which were not very sufficient, to provide firepower support for them. In this way, the battle was much smoother.
At the critical moment of the fight, the East Coast people decisively invested nearly a thousand Polish and Ottoman musketeers, broke through the Sakarava front in one fell swoop, and quickly expanded it with the cooperation of the local soldiers of the Eight Banners of the island, and then completely attacked the city. The overall situation was settled!
The battle ended at night. Nearly a thousand people of more than 3,000 Sakarava who were guarding the city died in battle, seven or eight hundred were captured, and more than one thousand escaped overnight. The people on the east coast did not pursue it, but let it go. After the enemy evacuated, the city's messy city was not completely stabilized until the afternoon of the next day. After the remaining resisters were cleared, the population and wealth of the city were almost cleared out - there were still six or seven thousand men, women, young and old, and the number of hump cattle was 40,000 to 50,000, and there were also many grain reserves, which made Xiao Baitu and others relieved, and finally did not work in vain.
"Send a message to Xinhua Port..." Sitting on a chair with a large number of gems inlaid, Xiao Baitu said to his adjutant: "Our troops have fought fiercely to capture the city of Qilibishina, a military city of the Sakalava natives. After thousands of enemies were killed, wounded and captured, the entire army was very happy. The war in the western part of the island may turn into a good situation, and the Daqing Basin is now in front of us. However, the Daqing Basin runs thousands of miles across and is not easy to defend. There is no waste in the wild. I am afraid that the enemy will attack us. Therefore, the leader of the pioneer team will send a few new immigrants to the newly occupied areas to garrison. In this way, I can counterattack the enemy at any time, and destroy the country in the future. It is no problem to expand the territory... Su Cheng is requesting to investigate and seize it, and Xiao Baitu, the commander-in-chief of the frontier, is the most important thing."
It is said that since they planned to test the immigration route through Malacca, people from the East Coast have launched substantial actions last winter: two "sprint champion"-level immigration special ships set off from Jiaozhou Port, Shandong, loading more than 1,600 immigrants from Shandong (most of them were Qing army officers and soldiers captured in the tug-of-war years). After docking through Ningbo, Malacca and Galle, they followed the counterclockwise circulation of the North Indian Ocean in the winter and spring seasons and arrived smoothly in early March this year. The entire voyage lasted more than three months.
Currently, two immigrant ships are under maintenance in Xinhua Port, waiting for the arrival of summer in the northern hemisphere, preparing to return to Ningbo along the clockwise circulation of the North Indian Ocean in summer (the southeast wind crossed the equator and the deflection force of the earth formed the southwest wind, and the current in the North Indian Ocean also changed from counterclockwise to clockwise).
Xiao Baitu's idea at this time was to transport more than a thousand Shandong immigrants to the newly occupied city of Qilibishina. By the way, he just gave this place a new name, Qingyang, to celebrate victory, and at the same time, because the city is on the north bank of the Great River, he was named - he believed that as long as the more than a thousand immigrants were transported over, he used the old farmland of the local natives to settle (what? What do you ask the local locals how to deal with it? Of course, they were sent to the plantation to "work"), and they could initially control the place in about one or two years, and then they could go north to continue to approach Ma Renjia City.
