Chapter 337: The Zheng Family's Resolution

Zheng Sen has a strong Australian background, in addition to this, he is also the future heir of the Zheng family in Fujian, so there is basically no objection to him as the commander of the new army battalion, at least at this point, the Zheng family can know that Liangguang's attitude towards Fujian has no malicious intent.

As the two most powerful existences in the southern forces, it can be said that the Zheng family's every move has been observed and noticed by Shen Youlong, and in recent years, because of Australia, the interests of the two sides at sea have been entangled in some ways, but fortunately, there has been no conflict.

In fact, the two sides have always maintained a good cooperative relationship, and when we say that we are cooperating, we are actually talking about non-aggression against each other, and neither of us should use troops against anyone first, so that the greatest degree of unity in the south can be guaranteed.

The two major forces were not united, and it was easy to be used by the Manchus, not to mention that Dolgon offered to hand over Fujian to Zheng Zhilong for management, and was promoted as the king, but at that time, the Manchu army had not yet crossed the Yangtze River, so he did not agree.

Now it is different, now the Manchu troops can almost be said to be at their doorstep, it is difficult to say whether he has the idea of cooperation, after all, Fujian's status has always been relatively independent, and they are the biggest separatist forces.

With their own sailor troops and soldiers, they are the only ones who have strengthened their numbers to tens of thousands, and no one else has so many troops except them.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong always wanted Zheng Sen to go back to help him train the new army, but he was unwilling, the main reason was that he could see those former classmates and comrades-in-arms in the Liangguang New Army, which was the happiest thing for him, if he went back, he couldn't see those classmates and comrades-in-arms.

The relationship between Australia and the Zheng family can be said to be a little unharmonious, everyone knows this, after all, there have been several major frictions between the two sides, and the final victory is Australia, the Zheng family has suffered a lot of losses, on the surface both sides have not said anything, but this has always been a heart disease of the Zheng family, and it is impossible for them to think about letting the Australian army enter Fujian.

Once the Australians come, it is not so easy to let them go, it is easy for the Australians to come, but it is very difficult to send them away.

Of course, they themselves also have the ability to form a new army, as long as the Australians are willing to sell them firearms, through Zheng Sen's relationship in the Australian military, the Zheng family still obtained a lot of weapons, of course, this is also under the instruction of the Australian government, otherwise the military personnel would not dare to sell weapons to the Zheng family easily.

To resist the southward advance of the Manchus, it is completely impossible to rely on the Liangguang family to fight, after all, they have limited forces in their hands, and they must have several allies to defend the place.

The Zheng family was the first ally they chose, and only by allying with the largest forces would the rest of the smaller forces be able to join them, after all, they would think about their own situation.

After all, under the pressure of the Manchu Qing army's southward march, it was absolutely impossible for them to resist alone, not to mention that they were not opponents in terms of military strength, or they could not do it in terms of grain and grass supply.

They chose to join mainly for self-preservation, and of course they could also choose to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but in the face of righteousness, many people would still choose to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, the relationship with the Zheng family is particularly important, so Zheng Sen is a very important bridge for Kuanguang, and many things can be conveyed to the Zheng family through him.

The Zheng family can also take back some of the news from Liangguang through him and make the next step.

This time, Shen Youlong took the lead to support King Gui on the throne, which was a big loss for the Zheng family, they originally planned to support King Tang, but Hongguang who did not expect it ran to Liangguang and he also announced that he would give up his position to King Gui.

In this way, it is equivalent to the Zheng family's army, if Hongguang is dead, it is okay, they can still fight for this position, and now they have to support it if they don't support it, otherwise it will destroy the cooperation.

The two sides have signed a contract to jointly fulfill the treaty to deal with the Manchus, if they can't fulfill the treaty, it will be unpopular for the Zheng family, and even if they can sit in Fujian in the future, they may not be able to gain the support of the people.

Zheng Zhilong is not a pirate, but he knows the importance of the people's heart, so he has always been very good to the people of Fujian, which is the main reason why he can recruit so many soldiers.

The reason is that everyone thinks that he is a very good person and can bring everyone a happy and healthy life, only in this way will everyone be willing to follow you, so the influence of the Zheng family in Fujian is still very large.

If you lose the hearts of the people, then the Zheng family will not gain anything even if they take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, you have no use value, who will reward you with a big reward.

Considering this situation, the Zheng family can only support the actions of Liangguang, at least not to fight with them.

In addition, they know that the Australians have mobilized a large number of troops to come over, and once the war with Liangguang starts, then the Australians will definitely participate, and once the Australians are involved, then there is no need to think about it, they are definitely not opponents.

10,000 people, absolutely capable of beating the Zheng family's 100,000 army, how they fought, Zheng Sen wrote very clearly, some weapons sound very magical, these weapons are not available in the Zheng family.

So far, the Zheng family can only match the heavy firepower with some cannons, and those powerful ones are sold to them by Australians.

Therefore, it is Zheng Zhilong's death order that he can't have a bad relationship with Liangguang, so that Zheng Sen can continue to stay and buy some weapons for the Zheng family.

In fact, this kind of transaction will not suffer losses on both sides, so it will naturally be welcomed, and Shen Youlong also knows Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, as long as he doesn't mess around, he will ignore him first.

Now the most important thing is to push back Azig's army to the south of the Yangtze River, so that at least Liangguang has a chance to breathe, and also has a strategic rear, Liangguang is not in the first line, then the pressure will be reduced a lot, which has a lot to do with economic development and internal construction, and the most important thing is to recover the land south of the Yangtze River is very important.

In addition to increasing the food supply, you can also get some other benefits, such as tea and porcelain, etc., which can be used as payment for goods, so Shen Youlong has a great enthusiasm for attacking Jiangxi and Hunan, and he also invited the Zheng family to work together.

Dealing with the Manchu army here from both sides, forming a two-year flanking posture and encircling them, Zheng Zhilong may still need some time to think, after all, he does not have the direct support of the Australian fire support troops, and they must consider how much benefit they can bring to themselves.
