So Li Sanduo immediately patted his chest and said to these people that the Pride will immediately set sail to pick up refugees in the Gaozhou area, not only we have to go, but the Australian big iron ship Nicole will also go, please rest assured, the Qing army seems to be menacing, but in fact it is vulnerable.

Then, Dai Xiaoshan solemnly continued, in this situation, if General Chen has the intention of retreating to the island, it is naturally necessary, but do not blindly retreat, but also need to contain the stragglers by the way, rectify the soldiers and horses, listen to the reality of the Qing army, actively deploy defenses, and then look for fighters to meet the battle decisively.

Li Sanduo saw that everyone present was suspicious when he heard it, so he hurriedly added next to him: Now that the Qing army is narrowly victorious, several roads are marching in and plundering, so arrogant and light, it is really a taboo of soldiers, if you can concentrate your forces, annihilate them by surprise, and then take advantage of the victory to attack the rest, the Qing army's offensive against the four states is not indissolvable.

Dai Xiaoshan also nodded and said that there is no need to worry even if the war is stalemate for a while, after all, General Chen still has coastal islands to retreat, and the Qing army has no naval division, once it retreats to the island, it can protect itself, not to mention that if there is really a war, and the Australian army that comes with the ship to respond, at least it can also block the advance of the Qing army, leaving time for the refugees to retreat and board the ship.

Seeing that these people were all listening thoughtfully, Dai Xiaoshan preached again:

"Therefore, the task now is, first, to hold on to important passes and cities and to block the advance of the Qing army, second, to concentrate troops to find one of the ways to encircle and annihilate them, so as to demoralize their troops, and third, to arrange ships as soon as possible, and to determine the concentration of refugees and the docks where the fleet docks, so as to attract refugees and arrange for them to board the ships as soon as possible."

Although in addition to Xue and Huang, the four Chinese businessmen were still a little skeptical about the confidence of the Australians, but they all said that they would immediately convey the meaning of the Australians to General Chen.

As for the third point, several family members immediately responded that the matter had been arranged, and now the four families have confirmed that each will send two to four thousand sailing boats to Gaozhou with the Australians to pick up refugees.

A few days ago, the seven ships of the Xue family's fleet had already transported 600 children from Gaozhou, which was the orphans that Ingres had collected near Gaozhou City, and on the way to send these children to the seaside, she adopted more than 100 children, and now a total of more than 600 children were temporarily arranged in the orphanage of the Church of Mercy, and this afternoon, the Pride sent them all to Xiaowanshan Island for temporary placement, ready to wait for the arrival of the Nicole before sending them away.

In the evening, when the lamp was held, the Liang family received the visiting Ai Rushi in the house, Xiao Ai told the family, I wrote a letter here, asking the family to bring it to General Chen Shengcai, hoping that he would not blindly retreat, but should try to keep the important land in the coastal prefectures and counties, and make plans for the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Ai said, took out an unsealed envelope, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to the family to read, who took it and read:

"The Commander of the Australian Commonwealth Wanshan Island Garrison Commander Iroosh respectfully addressed General Chen's case:

Today's Manchuria, Bensai outside Donghu, repeatedly for the Ming Dynasty border troubles, taking advantage of the Central Plains to destroy our society, dwelling in my artifact, killing tens of millions, forcing me to be a slave in China, its poverty and viciousness, now has run through.

Now the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, the general with the southwest corner, the flag of righteousness alone is not a Tatar, it is admirable, hearing that the recent Lei Lian states are in danger, the army and the people are panicked, and the rest of the period can not be allowed to be dispersed by the army and the people, I hope that the general will try to collect the refugees, clean up the soldiers and horses, and wait for the Australian Federation Iron Ship Brigade to arrive, carrying the south.

As for the offensive of the Qing army, it was actually the end of the crossbow, with the help of the Australian army, and there was no return to the Qing Dynasty.

Another person told the general, although the Australian Federation has lived far away in the South Seas for a long time in the Central Plains, but the Chinese bloodline, the former Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the real situation is introduced, so the Ming Dynasty military and civilians are regarded as compatriots whose blood is thicker than water, and it is also the introduction of today's people who are not doing anything to the Qing Dynasty as comrades, so although Australia is far away, it is still willing to save the people of Australia and assist the general in carrying out the great righteousness......"

……

In the middle of the night, a clipper boat quietly departed from Macau to Gaozhou, and in addition to bringing Chen Shangchuan the news of the Australian's imminent arrival and the advice given to him by the Australian, there was also this letter from the Huotang Club.

Recently, people from the Huotang Club who stayed at home looked up a lot of historical materials in the computer library and concluded that the number of refugees on the Leizhou Peninsula may be much more than the 30,000 that are now claimed.

According to the historical records of Annan, Liaobu and other countries----, the Hebei, Guangnan and Moshi regimes of the Li Dynasty after the secession of Annan once accepted a large number of refugees from Yunnan and Guizhou, and the "Mingxiang people" represented by Chen Shangchuan is only a small branch of the historical materials.

According to historical records, it was also during this period of time that the Zheng lords in the north and the Nguyen lords in the south, who were exhausted by the secession of the civil war, were originally threatened by the Lao Kingdom (Lancang Kingdom) in the east and the Khmer Empire in the south, and the regime was already in a precarious situation.

It is not difficult to find that it is the large influx of refugees from the north that has injected vitality and strength into these countries.

You must know that although these Han people are refugees, they are by no means destitute and lazy jungle tribe savages, this group of people not only have wealth, but also production skills, and are industrious and hard-working, the arrival of these people not only greatly prospered the economy of the Annam countries, but also expanded the source of soldiers, and comprehensively improved the comprehensive strength of these countries.

Taking the Mo clan as an example, it was originally a small secession regime in the mountains, sandwiched between Zheng's Hebei State and the Qing Dynasty, but during that time, it was also a sudden increase in strength, not only to fight against the Lao State, but also to defeat the army of the Later Li Dynasty and force the Later Li Dynasty to recognize its independent status, which has to be said to be a miracle.

As for the Quang Nam Kingdom in the south, it also resisted the attack of the Khmer Empire, not only recovering the lost territory, but also capturing the Mekong Delta, and finally destroying the Cham Kingdom, realizing the turnaround of salted fish.

Obviously, the number of refugees admitted by these countries is by no means a small number, but should be more than 100,000 people, otherwise it will not have such a significant effect on the strength of the country.

Therefore, after discussion, the people of the Huotang Club believe that if the implementation of the sea relocation order by the Qing Dynasty a few years later was a historical opportunity for us to obtain fleeing immigrants, then the wave of refugees caused by the Qing court's military action to invade Yunnan and Guizhou and the coastal areas of Guangxi should also be another historical opportunity for us.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is first of all to stabilize Chen Shangchuan and not let him blindly retreat, but to help him keep the coastal territory, and try to collect refugees, so as not to let these people flee to Annam to cheapen outsiders.

You must know that most of these refugees from Yunnan and Guizhou are Mufu and the military households and squires who fled with Yongli, these people are unwilling to stay as tenant slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are the last remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

The key is that with our image in Australia, we have a natural affinity for the Han Chinese, in short, we have more favorable conditions for refugees than those foreign countries.

That's why the letter came out, and apparently, the people of the Huochi Club began to "play big chess" again......
