Chapter 388: Dolgon's Thoughts
Re-entering the imperial court is Dolgon's idea, but not now, at this time it can be said that his position is very important, not to mention what kind of pass he controls at this time, once the Southern Ming Dynasty hits the area north of the Yangtze River, it can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty basically has no way out.

Don't look at the fact that it is difficult for Dolgon to enter the customs, it is difficult to come over with the guards of the mountain customs, but in the same way, it is also difficult for them to get out, Dolgon controls the entire area outside the customs, and these places are all under his control, that is, if they want to retreat to the customs gates, they basically have no chance today.
And now with a large army in his hand, he has formed a confrontation with the Manchu forces in the Guan, and it can be said that it has become the largest separatist force within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in order to avoid this situation, certain adjustments have been made within the imperial court.
They decided to compromise with Dolgon, after all, Dolgon is still very powerful anyway, if he is really seized by Nanming's gang, then there is really no way out.
Dolgon can be said to have taken the initiative at this time, he didn't make a move, just waited for the other party to start a war with Nanming, but Shen Yulong probably also had this idea.
Not to mention Lao Shen's idea, the most embarrassing thing at this time is actually those people in the Manchu court, originally they were the party that took the initiative, but now they have become passive.
And another important point is that the secret negotiations between Shen Youlong and Zheng Zhilong seem to be reached, which means that they are about to end the internal war, and it is very likely that they will directly start a war against the north.
This made them very worried, if they crossed the river to fight at this time, it was very likely that they would be attacked on both sides, and it was very likely that Dolgon would attack from outside the pass and directly seize a large area of land in the north.
At this time, the defense forces in the direction north of the Yangtze River have basically been concentrated on the defense along the coast, after all, the Australian navy is still cruising on the river, and it is very possible to launch an attack directly from the river.
At this rate, it is very likely that they will attack from the river, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Australian navy is obvious to all, and they can be said to have performed very well in the previous river battles.
If it weren't for the experience of Dolgon, it is estimated that the Manchus would organize a large army to continue to go south, after all, for them, the strategy of unifying the south is their established goal, but now it seems that it is basically impossible to complete, after all, the army of Sen is very strong, and the Australian army has not withdrawn.
As long as their navy has not withdrawn and is still on the river, it is enough to prove that they have no intention of withdrawing their troops, and if they do, it is really impossible to keep the warships on the river all the time.
According to the current view, the most likely thing at this time is that they want to continue to cross the river and fight, which is very likely.
They found that Shen Youlong's troops were moving very frequently, and they didn't know exactly where these troops went, but it was precisely because of this that they felt scared, and if it weren't for this, they would definitely withdraw their troops.
Speaking of which, Shen Youlong actually didn't plan to attack the north, after all, his people could attack the north anyway, and there was another important factor that the Australians didn't plan to attack the north, and if the north wanted to attack, it would be a big battle.
The main force of the Manchu Qing still has at least 100,000 people, which is the basis of their rule, and there are some other miscellaneous troops, at least one million people, so they do not have this strength at present.
Don't look at the time when blocking Azig, Sun Chuanting's troops were very powerful, but in fact, the main force was still Australians, at that time, there was a regiment of Australian soldiers in Lao Sun's army, and they were the main force there, as for the new troops in Liangguang were just auxiliary armies that fought and fell.
If the really combat-ready Australian army does not participate in the battle, they will not have a chance at all, so the most important point at this time is to closely monitor the Australians, and look at them from all directions to know if they will really not withdraw their troops.
If they really don't withdraw their troops, then they really have to take a closer look, but it seems that they don't plan to withdraw their troops now.
Shen Youlong and Zheng Zhilong have already negotiated the matter of taking over Fujian, and the two sides are already conducting a number of negotiations, and this tone has been basically determined.
Judging from the current situation, Shen Youlong basically agreed to his plan, that is, he could not end his support for Japan until he finished developing it.
Lao Shen must agree to this condition, otherwise they will definitely not leave, Zheng Zhilong's family business in Fujian is so big, it must not be so easy to move there all at once, so he must support his actions.
Although Japan was in the Warring States period at this time, after all, it still had a certain amount of combat power, and the powerful daimyo and feudal lords also had a certain amount of power.
So no matter what, it still needs to have a strong backing support, at least a base that can provide manpower and material resources, Zheng Zhilong needs Fujian as his base, if he loses this base too early, then his actions in Japan will be limited to a certain extent.
Anyway, as long as he agreed to hand over Fujian, then Shen Youlong would not do too much, after all, no matter what, avoiding war was the best thing for Lao Shen.
From various signs, it can be shown that at least Zheng Zhilong should not break his word to Lao Shen, after all, there is the face of the Australians there, if he really breaks his promise, it will be equivalent to thinning the face of the Australians, no matter what, it still needs to be considered from various aspects.
Now one thing is certain that Shen Youlong's army will not go north, at least during this time, it will not go north, after all, it is very likely that Zheng Zhilong will have other ideas when the main force goes north.
Once he goes north, most of the area, including Liangguang, will be empty of defense, which is equivalent to giving Zheng Zhilong a chance, he can send the remaining troops to the defense line south of the Yangtze River, and defend the Yangtze River, and the other has the advantage of having a very strong naval division force.
If you add the blockade of the sailor troops, not to mention it, Shen Youlong's back road is really likely to be cut off by him, and then there will really be no way to retreat.
In order to avoid such a situation, they would not be in such a hurry to mobilize their troops to the north to fight.
After all, a paper contract cannot completely restrain Zheng Zhilong, mainly relying on the Australians, they are the main force to restrain Zheng Zhilong, as long as the Australians are here, then they must not dare to act rashly.
