Chapter 364: Good News
Azig never dreamed that he would be captured by life, and even imprisoned in a very humiliating prison, he was a prince of the Qing Dynasty, and he was actually arrested by people from a small country in Australia, which made him embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These Australian elders are indeed not simple, they just used some tricks to successfully annihilate their elites, if they were placed in the past, this kind of thing may not dare to think of it. The Manchu troops were known as elite and had always been victorious, and they had not encountered major setbacks since entering the customs, so they naturally thought that everyone was not their opponent.
But since the fight met the Australians, they realized what it means to meet opponents, Australians are good at using firearms, although the troops are not many, but the combat effectiveness is very strong, this situation they rarely foresee, of course, this is the first time.
It's just that they thought that no matter how strong they were, they should be able to escape easily, at least not all of them will be damaged, but the actual action is not as they thought, but the whole army was wiped out, no one escaped, and those soldiers who fell on the Yangtze River were all fished up by the Australians.
Azig didn't understand what they were doing this for, and why they were trying to save them. It wasn't until he was locked up here that he heard the conversation of the Ming soldiers guarding outside that he learned that the Australians were going to transport them to the Australian mainland, what to do there, mining and road repairs.
In fact, for the handling of Azig and others, Australia and the Ming have different ideas, Shen Youlong's idea is to use this batch of prisoners of war to exchange some people to come over, or territory, after all, a prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very valuable, and most importantly, Azig is Dolgon's brother.
This is the brother born of a mother, and at the same time he is the most powerful in the court, if anything happens to Azig, it will be too big a blow for him.
It's just that things will never be as good as he thinks, and no matter what, Azig's main force going south will be annihilated.
Since it was annihilated, but Dolgon actually wanted to exchange people back through negotiations, after all, he also received such news, it is said that Shen Yulong promised to exchange, as long as he took out some territory in exchange.
These Eight Banners soldiers are his roots, and if they can be exchanged, it will be nothing to take out some territory, for him.
Of course, you have to send someone to talk to Shen Yulong, Lao Shen's idea is very simple, since he can get the territory back through peaceful means, try to do it through peaceful means, it is not good to fight a war after all.
It's just that now the Australians say that they want to transport these people back to their homeland, which creates a disagreement, after all, this war is won by the Australians, and they have the right to dispose of the prisoners, although most of the area south of the Yangtze River has been controlled by Liangguang, but this does not mean that it is safe.
Wu Sangui was waiting for an opportunity to move on the sidelines, and he could directly send troops to attack Liangguang at any time, after all, the Guanning army under his command was still very strong.
Of course, there is another main reason, he is not accepted by King Gui now, he belongs to the local separatist forces, since it is a separatist force, it will definitely be eliminated, so it is better to strike first.
Wu Sangui has always judged the situation, and at this time, he will definitely wait until the time when Liangguang is resting and recuperating, and they will be caught off guard, maybe when he sees him make a move, the Manchu Qing will also carry out a second southern expedition, after all, Dolgon has to avenge Azig.
In the Liangguang Governor's Palace, Zhou Yang, as the plenipotentiary representative, negotiated with Shen Youlong, and all he had to do now was to know what they really thought.
After all, for Shen Youlong, they really wanted to exchange for Azig, and of course the exchange had to be agreed by the Australians.
Whether Australia agrees, but judging from the current situation, it should not agree.
Lord Shoufu, you should know that even if you can exchange some of the land for these captives, it will be difficult to hold them, and the land north of the Yangtze River is difficult to support across the Yangtze River, and there are still Wu Sangui and Fujian and other separatist forces, even if you ask for those lands, it will not be of much use.
Now there is no Manchu power in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and if you want to exchange, you have to take out the land to the north, but the exchange of those lands north of the Yangtze River is actually not very useful.
Australia will not help them defend at all, and now the Manchus still have the strength to move south, as long as Dolgon can deal with the disputes within the imperial court, he can basically complete the reconquest of the south.
Therefore, it is not a wise choice to propose the territory of the north at this time, and Sun Chuanting is actually against it, but because of his relationship with the Australians, it is inconvenient for him to say.
From a military point of view, this is indeed not a wise choice, nor does it have any strategic significance, the most important thing now is to stabilize the territory in the south, as long as the territory in the south is stable, the northern expedition.
Governor Zhou, I understand what you said, but the people still want to recover the land without bloodshed, so you should understand the people's minds.
Lao Shen still wants to continue to fight, but the order Zhou Yang received is that he must not agree, put the person back at this time, isn't it a vain battle, once the person is put back, as long as he rests for a period of time, the people can immediately bring back these places for you, and they can also learn the lessons of the last time and go south again.
Such an exchange will not work at all, if Lao Shen really wants to be tough, then Australia can withdraw its troops now.
Fortunately, Lao Shen still attaches great importance to the opinions of Australian friends, after all, for him, the opinions of Australians are very important, as long as they can continue to stay here, it is a guarantee of safety.
Lord Shoufu, I think you can still agree to this matter, so it is better to let the other party compensate for a sum of materials and military expenses, so that you can also give an explanation to the people, you can also agree to change this person, but don't say the specific time.
According to Zhou Yang's meaning, this is to send people back to serve for a period of time, and when the service period expires, they will be sent back, as for how many years of service, it is completely up to Australia to decide.
At least until Liangguang has a strong strength, these people will be sent back, and of course, they don't have to be sent back.
In this way, it is not really possible to get some supplies and money from Dolgon.
As long as they can be driven out of the customs in the end, Lao Shen is still more accepting in his heart, at least what Zhou Yang said is right, if you put people back too early, it won't be long before people come to attack you again, so you still have to wait, at least for a few years.
