King Su Hu of Wei received news that General Song Kangbo had occupied the port.
He immediately led the fleet to the port.
The news immediately spread among the fleet.
Everyone in the fleet is celebrating the news.
Some impatient people have already packed their packages and are ready to wait for the ship to dock and disembark immediately.
They came here from Dahua and wandered at sea for several months.
Everyone has had enough time on the boat and misses the days of life on the shore.
Except for people who were born in Danhu before, anyone who has been drifting on the sea for so long will suffer from physical discomfort.
King Su Hu of Wei listened to the noise in the fleet, and he could also detect the desire to immigrate.
The immigrants did not cause any trouble on the road, except that the benefits promised by King Su Hu of Wei were large enough.
Most of these people are relatively honest farmers and have strong patience.
But their emotions have been pushed to the limit, and some rumors have appeared in the fleet.
Now knowing that they will be able to go ashore soon, the suppressed emotions can be released.
King Su Hu of Wei planned the various systems and personnel arrangements of Wei State in his mind.
Broken planks floating on the sea hit the ship's hull with a dull sound.
This voice interrupted Wei King Su Hu's thinking.
He looked into the distance and could clearly see the situation on the shore.
King Su Hu of Wei lowered his head and looked at the situation in the sea.
In the sea were the wreckage of armed merchant ships that had been destroyed by cannons, and a few pieces of broken wood floating on the sea.
The surviving naval officers have been rescued by friendly forces, and the bodies of the dead officers have also been collected.
The smell of blood here attracts sharks in the sea, and they are swimming nearby.
When Wei King Su Hu saw this situation, his mood did not change much. He had seen many more cruel scenes in his life.
One general's success will cause thousands of bones to wither, let alone the rise and fall of a country.
In the process of establishing the Wei Kingdom, countless people would sacrifice their lives.
King Su Hu of Wei looked at the sharks on the sea, surrounding the area, with anger in his eyes.
He would never allow the remains of martyrs to be devoured by these beasts.
King Su Hu of Wei immediately issued an order for the fleet to start clearing out the sharks near the battlefield.
He led a large force and continued to move towards the port.
The fleet arrived near the dock, and Qu Xiaolong obeyed the arrangements of Wei King Su Hu.
He began to direct the ships to approach the dock in an orderly manner.
There are also many thousand-ton cargo ships in the fleet, which cannot dock at such a small dock.
The immigrants and goods on these ships can only be connected by small boats, and they move ashore like ants.
Under the command of officials led by Qu Xiaolong, the entire fleet approached the dock in an orderly manner without any chaos.
The tonnage of the steam ship is too large, and it cannot dock directly.
King Su Hu of Wei took a small boat and landed from the pier.
He stood on the land in front of the dock, feeling extremely emotional.
Just to get to this land, he paid a huge price.
His ability to land on this land means that he is not far from the founding of the country.
King Su Hu of Wei looked at the situation around the dock and saw that all the coastal defense forts had been destroyed.
There were also traces of fighting near the dock, with some smoke and blood stains, but they have now been cleaned up.
King Su Hu of Wei immediately arranged cavalry to investigate the situation in this place in detail.
He learned that General Song Kangbo led his army to pursue the Spanish army and had driven the Spanish army into the bastion.
He praised loudly: "General Song Kangbo fought very well in this war, and I am very satisfied."
Before the war, King Su Hu of Wei asked General Song Kangbo to fight quickly.
This war must not be prolonged for a long time.
Even if they block the port, they can't completely block the news.
The situation here was noticed by the Spaniards. Once the war dragged on for too long, they would be attacked on both sides.
It is necessary to clear out the enemies on the shore, build shore defense artillery batteries, and station a large army here.
By the time the Spanish army reacted, they had already built fortifications and trained their troops.
Just give them a certain amount of time to develop and form a basic industry.
This place will be occupied by them forever, and the Spaniards will never be able to take it back.
King Su Hu of Wei received news one after another from the cavalry.
There is a large population here, including the indigenous population, about 150,000 to 60,000 people.
There are a large number of plantations on both sides of the river, and most of them are local indigenous people who work as laborers to grow various crops for the Spaniards.
There were many animals in the plantation. The cavalry saw many pigs, chickens, rabbits, dogs and other animals.
Large livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses are very rare.
The Spanish troops and officials retreated to the bastion.
Ordinary Spanish immigrants were very nervous. When they saw the arrival of the army, they retreated to their homes and plantations.
King Su Hu of Wei soon heard the news from General Song Kangbo.
He led the army and surrounded the Spanish in the bastion.
It is unclear when they captured the bastion.
But the Spaniards inside the bastion could no longer break out.
When Wei King Su Hu received this information, he knew that the situation was determined and that the fortress would not be able to be breached even in a short period of time.
But the Spaniards were trapped in the bastion, and they could not interfere with the situation outside.
King Su Hu of Wei could send officials and a small number of troops to receive the Spanish assets here.
Not only the plantations outside, but also the Spanish civilians will become their slaves.
King Su Hu of Wei looked at the huge river beside the dock and the plantations on both sides of the river.
He ordered with high spirits: "I will establish the Kingdom of Wei here, and this place must be branded as China.
I don't care what the name of the river here is? The name of this city.
From today on, this is Daliang City, and the river in front of us is Wei River.
The land where the Wei River flows is the territory of our State of Wei."
King Su Hu of Wei was a martial artist. He had no literary talent and his names were very random.
He remembered that there was a Wei State during the Warring States Period, and he named Daliang, the capital of Wei State, as the name of his country's capital.
Qu Xiaolong arranged for officials to do a good job in guiding the ships.
Most of the immigrants came ashore, and he went ashore to arrange for the immigrants here at the dock to be assigned to various places to build their homes together.
He was asking Wei King Su Hu about something, and heard that Wei King Su Hu named this river and this place.
Qu Xiaolong thinks that the name Daliang is not the best choice.
But this name was spoken by Wei King Su Hu himself, so it is the most suitable name.
Qu Xiaolong walked to Wei Wang Su Hu and reported on the immigration arrangements.
Wei Wang Su Hu agreed with Qu Xiaolong's suggestion.
Qu Xiaolong looked relaxed and pointed at the Western-style buildings to the west of the pier.
"Your Majesty, we need to raze these buildings and re-plan Daliang City."
King Su Hu of Wei waved his hand and ordered: "This matter is not urgent. It is not over yet. Don't provoke these Spaniards.
They are huddled at home, so we cannot over-stimulate them.
The first thing we need to do is to let the immigrants settle down.
At the same time, people were sent to take over the property left by the Spanish as quickly as possible, and the Spanish must not be allowed to destroy it.
The construction of houses was too slow and the immigrants were forced to live in military tents. It was already very hard for them to come all the way by boat.
We can’t let these people come here, they don’t even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.”
Qu Xiaolong listened to Wei Wang Su Hu and he breathed a sigh of relief. These tasks were not difficult and could be solved easily. He called the officials to start assigning tasks.
King Su Hu of Wei was bored and preparing to go to the front line for inspection.
He saw General Song Kangbo riding a horse and running towards the dock.
King Su Hu of Wei waited until General Song Kangbo dismounted, and he said: "General Song can come to this king, which means that the front line is progressing very smoothly."
After General Song Kangbo paid the military salute, he gave Wei King Su Hu a detailed introduction to the battle situation of his attack on the port and the siege of the fortress.
King Su Hu of Wei listened to General Song Kangbo's story.
He called the guards over with a wave of his hand, and rode to the front line with General Song Kangbo.
Su Hu, King of Wei, praised on the horse: "The military performed very well in this landing operation.
General Song can make an army composed of new soldiers achieve such a record, I am very pleased.
The army defeated the enemies entrenched here at a small cost.
You have bought enough time for the construction of Daliang City."
When General Song Kangbo heard about Daliang City, he was stunned for a moment.
He then came to his senses and said humbly: "The reason why I can win this battle is because the soldiers killed the enemy with their lives.
Our army's opponent is the Spanish colonial army.
Their weapons are as bad as their will to resist.
If this war had been directed by someone else, the outcome would not have been much different."
Su Hu, King of Wei, said: "General Song, there is no need to be humble. Without your excellent command, this war would not have gone so smoothly. No one can take away the credit that belongs to you.
The king will give separate rewards to the army."
General Song Kangbo listened to Wei Wang Su Hu's outspoken praise.
He felt that it would be easier to work under such a straightforward monarch.
King Su Hu of Wei heard that the direction of the front line was very quiet.
He asked: "General Song, our army has surrounded the Spanish bastion.
What is the current situation? When can we break through the defense of the bastion and completely wipe out the Spanish army?"
General Song Kangbo heard the question from Wei King Su Hu, and he immediately replied confidently: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Spanish are just turtles in the urn.
According to humble estimates, after the artillery positions are deployed, the Spanish bastion can be captured in about ten days.
If you want to speed up, you can only use the naval guns on the merchant ships.
This kind of naval gun was more destructive to Spanish bastions, and its firepower was far more powerful than the heavy artillery used by the army.
But in doing so, the armed merchant ships will lose their combat effectiveness.
The navy originally had fewer ships because the cannons of the merchant ships were removed from the siege.
I will worry about affecting the strength of the navy and will not be able to stop the Spanish fleet that may attack in the near future."
When King Su Hu of Wei heard about this situation, he immediately issued an order: "Send an order to arm merchant ships and dismantle more than a dozen naval guns to support the battlefield."
General Song Kangbo was worried that the armed merchant ships would lose their combat effectiveness.
Wei Wang Su Hu wanted to deal with the Spanish fortress as soon as possible.
They can destroy the Spanish army in a short time.
This was a great deterrent to Spanish immigrants and local indigenous people.
Completely eliminate their will to resist and stabilize Daliang City as soon as possible.
These captives will be their best workforce.
Eliminating the Spaniards as soon as possible can also minimize the variables. The most fearful thing in combat is indecision and hesitation.
General Song Kangbo quickly arranged for people to convey the order of Wei King Su Hu.
When they arrived at the front line on horseback, the artillery had basically finished setting up their artillery positions.
They received the news that naval guns were about to be added, and began to re-plan the layout of the cannons.
They waited a long time.
Dozens of mules pulled naval guns from the direction of Wei River and rushed to the artillery camp.
Because the naval guns were too heavy, the baggage soldiers had no choice but to place rocks in front of the wheels to prevent the wheels from sinking into the soil.
King Su Hu of Wei saw that the naval guns had been pulled over, and he ordered: "Set up the naval guns as soon as possible and hit me hard to blast open the gate of the bastion.
The range of cannons is still a bit short now, otherwise we can directly attack the bastion on the river with naval guns."
King Su Hu of Wei was rearranging the camp with artillery.
He went to the grassroots level to understand the performance of each army.
These people are indeed new recruits, and you can see that they are extremely nervous.
King Su Hu of Wei believed that after this training, the army would definitely transform and become a strong army.
The sky gradually darkened, and the smell of food wafted through the military camp.
General Song Kangbo personally brought over a pot of marinated meat stewed with vermicelli and placed it on the dining table with a look of surprise on his face.
He looked at Su Hu, King of Wei, who was sitting next to him, and thought of his special instructions just now not to talk about the war during the meal.
General Song Kangbo swallowed back the words that came to his lips and said: "Your Majesty, our army is open to eating meat, and the soldiers are very happy.
The meat tastes really good, but this way of eating it is too wasteful. I understand that there is not much cured meat left now.
I hope some animals can be raised here in Daliang City."
Plant seeds can be stored for a long time, and they brought many high-yielding seeds screened by the Royal Academy of Sciences.
It is difficult for young animals to survive on long-term ocean voyages. They did not bring any young animals with them.
The living environment in the cabin is relatively poor, there are too few doctors, and there is a lack of medicine.
Song Kangbo knew that some immigrants could not control themselves.
They gave birth to their babies in cabins, and the infant mortality rate was very high.
King Su Hu of Wei picked up a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Don't worry about eating meat.
When the king landed, he sent some cavalry to investigate the situation here.
They found that many common animals are found here.
There is no shortage of pigs, cattle, sheep, dogs, rabbits, and chickens. I don’t know if the Spaniards brought them here or if these animals exist in the Americas.”
When General Song Kangbo heard the news, he smiled happily and said: "The situation here is really good.
I saw Spanish plantations on both sides of the river, and the crops in them were growing very well.
There is no shortage of all kinds of food here, and we will definitely see great development.”
They had dinner happily and talked about some happy things.
After lunch, they began to discuss plans for the siege.
Both the monarch and his ministers believed that they had secured victory in the war, and it would only be a matter of time before the city was defeated.
After King Su Hu of Wei finalized the battle plan, he ordered the artillery to fire.
King Su Hu of Wei picked up the telescope and looked at the situation inside the fortress.
The Spanish army hid in the bastion and looked nervously at the situation outside.
King Su Hu of Wei ordered: "Don't let the Spanish army spend this night in peace.
Let their bastion collapse tonight, and increase the intensity tomorrow to smash this bastion directly."
King Su Hu of Wei issued the order, and General Song Kangbo immediately arranged artillery to carry out the order.
More than a hundred heavy guns, including thirteen naval guns, launched an attack on the Spanish bastion at the same time.
The naval gun shells hit the bastion wall, causing the entire wall to shake.
The fire from the cannon lit up the entire sky.
The Spanish bastion faced continuous shelling. The entire bastion was crumbling and the city walls could collapse at any time.
