Chapter 360: Azig who stopped the retreat
Zhou Billy helped Shen Youlong clear the spies and spies is not free, in addition to charging a part of the fee, he must also agree to share intelligence in some places, after all, in Daming is their main battlefield, and Australia will be replaced by them sooner or later.

They know this very well, Jin Yiwei is still very powerful, as long as they get through the current difficulties, they can play an important role again.
According to Zhou's conditions, in addition to paying a large fee, they also had to share information on the confrontation with the Manchus, including the information they had in Southeast Asia, in short, if the two wanted to cooperate amicably, they had to abide by this treaty.
It is acceptable for Shen Youlong to pay a fee, after all, people have contributed, and they can't always think of others helping for free, and this is indeed a lot of money, so I don't feel that there is anything wrong.
Zhou Billy's action directly caused the Manchu intelligence system south of the Yangtze River to be dealt a rapid blow, not to mention, and successfully corrected out some officials with surrender circumstances, these people must not be let go, they must be brought to justice, sent to the border.
For the sudden attack of the Australians, it can be said that he caught Azig off guard, and he originally wanted to continue to retreat according to the information provided by the intelligence, and finally give the Australian army a powerful counterattack.
This is quite dangerous for him, and it would be strange if he did not lose the battle if he continued under this situation, but the idle situation was that he could not continue to retreat, and if he continued to retreat, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the internal morale of the army.
Thinking of these troublesome things, he was angry, and now that Wu Sangui hadn't returned to help, it seemed that he had decided to abandon himself and go alone.
Sure enough, as he thought, Wu Sangui did have an idea when he entered Ganzhou in Australia, that is, to immediately draw a clear relationship between the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, and then look at the situation first.
After so many days of observation, he found that it was impossible for the Manchus to keep the territory in Jiangnan, and there was no need for him to follow them.
So Wu Sangui made a very important decision, that is, to announce a break with the Manchus, the reason why they were released into the customs was completely to avenge the former emperor, but he never thought of giving them his life, but later he was deceived, and he could only follow them temporarily, and now he wants to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the new emperor can receive him.
This whitewashing reason is shameless enough, everyone knows that he did it with the Manchu Qing Dynasty voluntarily, and now he says that others are forcing him, a few people will believe it, not to mention that the officials in the court don't believe it, and it is estimated that those people don't believe it either.
Of course, people choose to surrender, you have to make a statement, after discussing with a group of officials in the court, the condition of everyone is that they must come to Guangzhou and hand over the military power, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
After all, if he didn't even kill the guy who put the Manchu Qing into the pass, how many people would feel cold, and this matter must be cautious, of course, they also knew that he would not come to Guangzhou, and once he handed over the military power, he would have no practical effect.
At that time, people will definitely be killed if they want to, so it is better to follow the Manchu Qing, but now this situation, obviously not good, has announced a break with the expiration date, others on your side don't want you, and when you come back, it will definitely not work.
The Manchus also need to make a chicken killer to show the monkeys, you can't come when you want, you can leave if you want, then don't the other people who surrendered learn from you, so they must be eliminated.
Azig is already surrounded by enemies on three sides at this time, and there is no way to retreat to Hubei, Wu Sangui's rebellion made him fall into passivity, originally he was the main force of the main attack in the south, but now it is good, it has directly become that he is being chased and beaten by others, not to mention, and he has no power to fight back at all, how good is this.
must think of a way to solve it, not to mention that he is in a hurry to do it, even Dolgon is also anxious, this time is a key point, there must not be a little sloppiness, if Azig withdraws from Jiangxi's strategy of basically going south, it will be considered a failure.
Going south is the core policy he pushes, and there must be no mistakes, but now that it is good, it has not been achieved at all, not only did it not exterminate the Nanming forces, but also let them take the opportunity to recover a large area of land, and the most important thing is that Wu Sangui actually surrendered.
This guy has an unusual relationship with Dolgon, he personally surrendered to Dolgon, and then followed him to fight in the north and south, and now he has surrendered, what does that mean, it means that the situation in the south is probably not so good.
There is also a possibility that people will really break through from the front and carry out encirclement, and it is estimated that the south of the Yangtze River can no longer be saved.
Dolgon had already ordered to send a fleet of ships to wait along the Yangtze River, and if Azig could not do it, he would withdraw immediately, at least to keep part of his forces, and at the same time to reduce the counterattack of those people against him.
You must know how many opponents he has in the court, these opponents regard Dolgon as their worst enemy, and they always want to bring him down, and now that there is such an opportunity in front of them, they must all want to give it a try.
Therefore, Azig can't have an accident, and neither can the main southern force he brought with him, and once something happens, he won't have to compete with the other princes and Baylors.
In order to prevent this from happening, he had secretly sent someone to Jiangxi to ask Azig to find a way to evacuate.
But now it is not so easy for Azig to withdraw, not to mention the simultaneous efforts of several enemies, but also from all sides, which makes him a little tired, if a large-scale retreat, it will cause greater casualties at all, not to mention, it may directly lead to the loss of his own troops.
Because when retreating, everyone must be in a hurry to escape, where will they pay attention to what order and other issues, if this is really the case, then there is no need to leave at all, it is basically certain that their own troops are going to be directly annexed.
So he can only retreat slowly, which makes him not know what to do, and now he hopes that everything will turn around, if there is a turn, it may be a different feeling, but now it seems that there is no such turning point.
Azig's main force must be eliminated, if they are not eliminated, they will still have the ability to enter the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, the Australian navy has entered the Yangtze River, ready to cooperate with the army's actions, encircling Azig's retreating troops, so that he can not smoothly retreat to the north.
