Chapter 355: Coercion

In fact, Lao Sun is still a very great figure in the Ming officialdom, no matter what, his status among these people is still very high, he will work hard, know how to govern the place, and is a loyal minister, but he just put on such a group of pig-like teammates, so he failed in the end.

So when facing Lao Sun, those Ming officials who surrendered were still very stressed, after all, they were not sure that they were going to fight with the other party, and Azig asked Wu Sangui to return to Hunan to help, the purpose of which was to let him deal with Sun Chuanting.

After all, in his opinion, if Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army fights, it will definitely be able to defeat the other party, and the Qin army under Lao Sun is long gone, although there are thousands of Australian soldiers there to send him, but after all, the number of troops is too small.

Naturally, Sun Chuanting also knew this, so he recruited a large number of young and strong people from Shaanxi to join the army among the refugees, preparing to attack Hunan while preparing to train soldiers.

According to the battle plan formulated by Australia, once they expelled the Manchu forces to the north of the Yangtze River, they would withdraw a large number of soldiers, and at this time it was a blank period for the south, which was very dangerous, and if there was no army to come out to receive it, these places would be reoccupied by the Manchus.

Australians can't always send troops to help the Ming Dynasty, he also knows this, after all, the people of Australia will also oppose it, they are different from the Ming Dynasty, there is no emperor, although the nominal emperor is also elected, but it is also out of that part of the people.

This time he helped Daming to persuade many people to finally send troops, he knew that once the Australians left, if Daming did not have his own troops that could fight against the Manchus, it would be very dangerous.

Although the new army of Liangguang has combat effectiveness, after all, the number of people is too small, and if he defends such a large area, it may be exhausting, so he must train a force that can fight by himself.

Of course, this is also Shen Yulong's support for him, after all, he also knows the importance of establishing a new army, relying on his little strength alone can not manage such a large territory, and Sun Chuanting has experience in training the army, and has learned a lot of skills from the Australians, so naturally it would be best if he could train a force that could fight.

At least this can also reduce the dependence on Australians, no matter how Australians are outsiders, if their army is in Daming for a long time, it is still very scary, after all, who knows if they have other ideas.

In case they have other ideas, don't they become sinners themselves, drive the Manchus away here, and the Australians here will not leave, and if there is a sword and soldier meeting in the end, it will definitely be more difficult than dealing with the Manchus.

At least in his opinion, it is much easier to deal with Lao Sun than to deal with Australians, so he will be approved to recruit troops, but the military expenses given are very small, the financial income of Liangguang is not high, and there are still a lot of foreign debts owed to Australians, it is not so easy to build an army, so Sun Chuanting still has some difficulties.

People follow you as a soldier and work hard, if you don't have basic food, then why do others follow you, so it is absolutely impossible to follow you.

As soon as Lao Sun's signboard was played, there were still many people who came to take refuge, and there were also some soldiers he had trained before, and later fled to the south for various reasons, and they were happy to see the old leader.

Through recruitment, he also recruited a lot of people, with a total strength of about 30,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of such a force is still there, after all, Lao Sun is a famous general, if he can't beat those people, it will be too ugly, what will others think, this is a shame, not to mention that Shen Youlong will look down on him, and those soldiers under him will also look down on him.

He has 30,000 troops, but he claims to be 80,000 to the outside world, in fact, when he fights, he will say that the number of troops is large, giving the other party a pressure, so that they dare not fight, and defeat them in the last move.

This method is also called psychological warfare, Australia has talked about it, and Sun Chuanting has also used it in the past, but there is no such word to describe it, this time he is ready to use the method of psychological warfare to defeat the other party without a fight.

After all, he knows that there are not many people in the main force of his army, but it is still a little difficult to win, most of them are new recruits, and they are definitely not as strong as veterans in terms of experience, so he must use a little means to let the other party know, otherwise it will be difficult for him to defeat the other party.

What he wants to use is psychological tactics to let the other party know that his troops are strong and general, and he has the certainty of absolute victory. On the one hand, he showed his force to others, and on the other hand, he also caused psychological pressure on the other party through propaganda.

Through various means, the opponent's momentum was put under pressure, and in the end, some of the Manchu defending troops floated.

After all, Lao Sun's fame is very great, and the people who can defeat Li Zicheng are not vegetarians, and they don't have much to gain from surrendering to the Manchus, and they all do the hardest and most tiring work, so their sense of belonging to the Manchus is not so strong.

At this time, with some propaganda, they naturally didn't want to fight, after all, it was not a good thing to be blamed and scolded, so they finally chose to be passive and slack, just hoping to save their lives.

Most of the ordinary soldiers below have this idea, and there are not many generals above who want to fight, not to mention that they can't fight, the news from the west of Jiangxi is a bit bad, it is said that the Australian coalition forces have broken through the first line of defense, and Azig's army is retreating.

The Australians have entered Jiangxi, which shows that they are indeed very strong.

Inspector Sun came with thousands of Australian elites, and there are troops trained by himself under his hands, so if the fight starts, there is no less certainty that he will be able to win.

It seems that if you accept surrender, maybe you can change to a better position. After all, Sun Chuanting also sent someone to persuade them, saying that they were ministers with the same dynasty at the beginning, and there was no need to meet each other, and everyone was originally a family, but they couldn't be the same as those Manchus.

So some generals really couldn't sit still, and sent people over to discuss cooperation, they decided to take refuge in Daming and return to Daming, just hoping that they would not be purged, of course, this Sun Chuanting could give them assurance.

For these generals who have taken refuge in them, they can arrange some false positions for them, if they are really capable, there is nothing for them to lead the troops, as long as the Ming Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, they will not dare to easily take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty again, and this kind of people who take refuge back and forth will definitely not be pleasant.
