Chapter 307: The People of the Country
The Manchu Qing entered the customs, attacked the capital in one fell swoop and drove Li Zicheng away, and pursued all the way, the once powerful Dashun army had no resistance at all after encountering the Manchu army, which had to make people suspicious.

In fact, it can be seen from the clothing of Li Zicheng's troops that although his troops are more numerous than others, they often frighten people with their momentum, and the troops he can fight in the real war are only tens of thousands.
These tens of thousands of people are his backbone, if these people fight him out and Daming loses Sun Chuanting, it will be equivalent to a big bandit or something, and it is not a table at all.
In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he had a big battle with the Manchu Qing and Guanning Army, and this war can be said to have wiped out the elite of Dashun in the past few years, which means that Dashun will soon disappear in the long river of history.
The news of Li Zicheng's defeat also did not escape the coverage of Australian newspapers, and Australia will have a newspaper every week, which talks about some of the things that everyone cares about, and of course, current affairs and politics.
For example, it is difficult to say whether the Manchus will go south, after all, they will have to face Li Zicheng's army first, but a piece of news makes them very angry, that is, the Manchus had a massacre when they were fighting Li Zicheng.
You must know that most of the immigrants in Australia are from the Ming Dynasty, many of them are from the north, how can they not be angry when they see such news, they are itching their teeth one by one, but even so, they can't change anything, let them go back to the Ming Dynasty to resist the Manchus, that's unrealistic, they can't let go of their current life.
Life in Australia can be said to be the life they dreamed of living before, how can they give up so easily.
Of course, you can't ignore this kind of thing, some immigrants are like government petitions, whether it is possible to increase immigration efforts and let more Ming people come to Australia.
In fact, the government agrees with this very much, after all, it is their policy to immigrate to Australia, but they must pass the application, these people do not need to be completely sent to the mainland, Luzon and Malacca are two very good places.
These overseas colonies have a large amount of land vacant there, and it is very fertile and suitable for cultivation, and it would be a bit of a waste not to grow food.
So the government is still very supportive, but the next thing is to actively mobilize everyone's sympathy for Daming.
After all, Australia wants to aid the Ming Dynasty, and the people are indispensable to work overtime, if the people in the country do not support it, then it will be very difficult for Australia to fight.
In order to make everyone actively respond to the call, the government specially organized a number of fundraising activities, the main purpose is to let everyone know the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, although the Southern Ming court has been established, they do not want to recover the north, but think about how to reach an agreement with the Manchu Qing to share the world, this idea is a bit naïve.
If the Manchus failed to take the granary of Jiangnan, the land in the north would be a burden to them, and they would not be able to feed such a population.
It is impossible to do this kind of thing for the slaughter of the city, after all, if they are not an empty city, if it is an empty city, they can do this, and they don't need to think about anything at all, but now it is different, they need to think about more things.
If you want to feed these people in the north, the south must take it, otherwise it will be worthless for them to conquer this country, so they must take Jiangnan.
The newspaper has analyzed the reasons why the Manchus took Jiangnan, and some people feel that it is still very right when they look at the analysis.
Especially when Zheng Sen saw this, he felt that it was very right, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very likely to go south, but it was difficult to say whether the imperial army of the Southern Ming Dynasty would be able to resist it at that time.
Zheng Sen, who has been studying in Australia for a period of time, has no less sense of belonging to Australia than Daming, speaking of which he is a soldier, and he is expected to go back when the Manchu Qing Dynasty goes south.
Not to mention that he would think about going back in the future, now he wants to go back in advance and quickly organize a new army, so that he can deal with the southward movement of the Manchu Qing when the time comes.
As for how many people they have in the hands of the Zheng family, he actually knows very well, after all, he is the future heir of the head of the family, if he can't do this, how can he be this heir.
The people in China were already very dissatisfied with the massacre of the Manchu Dynasty, and some people hoped that the government would send troops to intervene and let Australia interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
These people think that it is quite simple, and it can be said that such a thing will not happen in the future life.
As for whether Australia will interfere, they can also learn through the newspapers that Australia has spoken out about this behavior of the Manchus, and called on young men in the country to join the army, and the troops will be transferred to Hong Kong to ensure that commerce there is prosperous.
After all, it can't be said that Australia should be directly involved in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, which will arouse suspicion from others, and the Dutch have been keeping an eye on the movements of Australians, and what they do is monitored.
At this time, it is still very good to defend Hong Kong, after all, for them, Hong Kong is an overseas territory of Australia, and the safety of the people here must be guaranteed.
It is reasonable to say that Hong Kong is too close to Guangzhou, and it is reasonable for the government to worry about encountering unexpected situations, after all, for them, many things may encounter unexpected situations.
This fundraising is just the beginning, once you really participate in the war against the Ming Dynasty in the future, you must mobilize the strength of the whole country to support.
Without the support of the people, it is difficult for them to achieve victory, after all, if you want people to come out and become soldiers, you always need some reason, and this reason is very good.
Of course, the main reason is that everyone has a psychology towards their homeland, which is very strong even if they have traveled through hundreds of years.
Therefore, whether it is a recent magazine or a newspaper, they are intentionally or unintentionally reporting on the war of the Ming Dynasty, so that many people know for the first time what the current situation is and whether there is a war with the Nanjing Imperial Court.
It is clearly written in the newspaper, and there are comments from current affairs commentators, etc., and the book is usually to analyze where the next stop will be, and what are the reasons.
After all, relying on these things can indeed make a prediction in advance, and the prediction also indirectly hints at which places the Southern Ming Dynasty will cede as bargaining chips in the future.
To say that several predictions were accurate, immigrants even have to wonder if they are true, because every analysis is basically the same as what really happened, and it is certainly that accurate to know that these are real history. (To be continued.) )
