Chapter 372: Really Withdraw
Wu Sangui never thought that the Australians would suddenly appear, and they landed from the river, which surprised him too much, in the face of the Australian army in front and back, even if the Guan Ning army was powerful, they couldn't deal with it, after all, the weapons in their hands were more powerful than them.

The king of cold weapons is doomed to fail when he encounters hot weapons, after all, the hot weapons in their hands are more powerful than them anyway.
Wu Sangui's soldiers were defeated and captured, and they were directly escorted to Guangzhou City, waiting for him to be judged, as for those ordinary soldiers of the Guanning Army, Sun Chuanting consulted the imperial court and then reorganized them on the spot, and scattered them into various troops, after all, these veterans are a valuable asset, anyway, for a place like Liangguang where there is a lack of soldiers, these people are treasures.
Treasure to baby, some people who make big mistakes will still get the punishment they deserve, and nothing else, even those refugees who go south have to give them an explanation.
After defeating Wu Sangui, it means that Liangguang has completely controlled Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, and Liangguang, almost half of Jiangnan is within his control, and now he has become the most powerful overlord, and the next task is to digest these places, and then attack Guizhou and Yunnan.
In fact, these two places are almost within the control of Liangguang, and what really needs to be recovered is Sichuan, which is still controlled by Zhang Xianzhong, but at least half of it is still controlled by Daming.
At present, the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the other forces dare not act rashly, even the overlord of the Zheng family with 100,000 armor does not dare to fight with them easily, after all, people are the power of several provinces, but you yourself are a province, how to fight against others, so they are still very cautious anyway.
For the holy decree issued by the imperial court, sometimes I don't listen to it, after all, no matter what, people have a lot of soldiers in their hands, and if you are not convinced, you will be convinced, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have the courage to go south at this time, they were already defending along the coast north of the Yangtze River, and they were afraid that Shen Youlong and the Australians would directly recover the north.
Speaking of which, Shen Youlong really has this plan, taking advantage of this big victory, crossing the river to win a few pieces of territory, and it is equivalent to having a frontier fortress.
But Lao Sun and the Australians both said no, now these three provinces have just been taken, and it will take some time to digest them, if they go to the north at this time, it will not be looking for death.
The Manchus still had elite troops there, and it would cost a lot of money just to defend these cities, and the most important thing was that if he took it, he would have to bear the burden of the people there.
Where to get money and food, it must be from Australia, let Australia support their economy on such a territory, that is a bit far-fetched, after all, Australia is affected by the war, its own economic growth is also very slow, and it is not so fast to win.
So no matter what, it's better to digest these places first, if you don't digest them, it will be a waste for them.
Shen Youlong can't fight a war, but he is still more persuasive, if Lao Sun doesn't listen to him alone, it's nothing, but after all, several people have said so, so he can only give up.
In any case, these military experts are here, and you don't know how to lead troops to fight are not looking for trouble there, so you still have to let them deal with it, and it is very important to listen to their opinions.
If you don't listen to their opinions, you may lose your troops, saying that the Australians have their own rules for fighting, not that you say that you will fight immediately, and everyone is all formulated, so don't get involved if you have nothing to do.
In this case, Shen Yulong still listens to the Australians, the two wars are won by the participation of the Australians, and he also knows that the Australians will fight, and at this stage they still need to rely on others, no matter what, they still have to rely on others to help, and friendly negotiation is the key.
So after they objected, he didn't propose, but the Australians raised a few questions, that is, they hoped that he could expand the army, at least the number of the new army should be expanded to about 50,000, and only when this number reached could it possibly pose a certain threat to others.
After all, the Australians' proposal is a good one, and the strength of the two provinces is indeed a bit small, and if you want to recover the territory of the north, you must expand.
He has seen the ability of the new army to fight, so he still has to expand the army.
According to this situation, he must expand the army, and only by expanding the army can he recover these places, and another important task is to train them, and Australia promised to leave some people to help them train.
From the conversation, Shen Youlong noticed a problem, that is, leaving some people, could it be said that they were leaving.
Commander Chen, it is possible that your army is going to withdraw.
Shen Youlong bowed to Chen Jun very politely.
Considering your current problems, we have decided to leave some soldiers to defend along the Yangtze River, leaving two regiments of troops, and the rest of us will withdraw to the country one after another.
Leaving two regiments, that is, a maximum of 5,000 people here, Shen Youlong knew the establishment of the Australian army, so he immediately calculated the number of people, how can this be done, if this is the case, what should the Manchu suddenly wave over.
No, absolutely not, Commander Chen, you must not go.
Shen Youlong shook his head vigorously and disagreed, let them go at this time, then there are many problems of their own, these places have not been completely digested, and there are still several places where the separatist forces have not completed the incorporation.
Haha, my lord, do you really want us to stay, you are not afraid that we will stay and not leave, and then you will become a sinner for the ages.
In fact, Chen Jun has already heard some news, saying that the war has been fought, and the Australians should be allowed to withdraw part of their troops at present, if so many people stay, it will be a very big problem.
This is a distrust of Australians, otherwise they would not have said that, and judging from the current situation, there are indeed some people who want Australia to withdraw its troops.
Since this is the case, it is just right to reconcile with them and withdraw the troops.
It's just that people who really understand know that the withdrawal of troops is not for Australia, but it is different for the Ming Dynasty, if the army is withdrawn, those people will not jump up immediately, especially the Manchu Qing is likely to make a comeback, and the Australians must not be allowed to go.
