Since the defeat of Sun Chuanting's Qin army, Li Zicheng was like a bamboo, and successively captured many cities, although Emperor Chongzhen successively requisitioned several large armies to resist, but they were successfully defeated by the other party, and captured a large number of Ming soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

More and more Ming officials surrendered, so that the entire north of the Ming Dynasty fell into a panic, although compared to Li Zicheng is still some distance from the south, but from the non-stop rush to the refugees from the bad news, or let the local government fall into a panic, after all, no one knows at this time will happen.

After Li Zicheng entered the city, the matter of killing people has spread, and this guy killed the officials and gentry, which made those people very afraid and did not dare to stay in their hometown, so they ran south one by one.

At this time, in fact, the capital is not safe, the capital does not have much troops, and it is necessary to defend against the Manchu attack in the north, it can be said that Chongzhen is attacked on both sides, and it is difficult to get rid of the current predicament.

Unless there was an army that could withstand Li Zicheng's attack and successfully stopped his attack, or the Manchu offensive slowed down.

But obviously, at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not think about slowing down, knowing that when Li Zicheng was attacking the city, they also thought about whether to come to get a piece of the pie, after all, it would be very good for them to be able to enter the customs and make a fortune.

Judging from the records in many historical books, in fact, at the beginning, the Manchus did not plan to enter the Central Plains, but later due to various reasons, coupled with Li Zicheng's defeat at Shanhaiguan, they finally decided to enter the Central Plains.

However, the surrender of the Han people played a very big role in this, and it was precisely because of this that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to quickly sit firmly on the throne and raise troops to destroy the Southern Ming.

If he hadn't killed Wu Sangui's family, Wu Sangui would not have surrendered to the Manchus and let them in, so this guy is also ********.

Due to the complex composition of Li Zicheng's troops, coupled with the lack of support from the gentry class, he quickly entered the end of defeat, of course, now he is still singing all the way, no one can see that he will be defeated, thinking that he will be the emperor of the new court, even some officials within the Ming Dynasty also think so, it is conceivable what some other low-level officials will think.

In fact, the real situation in history is that most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty have been waiting for Li Zicheng to enter Beijing, and then seek an official position in the new court, and also be the lord of the change of dynasty, but in fact, they have no ability at all.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he arrested these officials and raided their homes, only a very few of them were not raided, and finally when Li Zicheng was defeated and retreated, these officials surrendered to the Manchu Qing again, but the surrender of the Manchu Qing was much better than Li Zicheng, because they were needed to stabilize the society, so they were treated very well.

At this time, Li Zicheng had not yet entered Beijing, but everyone knew that his goal was the capital, and he would lead the army into Beijing, which can be affirmed, it was only a matter of time, and the news collected from all over the country also showed that the rebel army was very smooth.

So recently, there have been a lot of refugees outside the Hong Kong border, where these refugees come from, all of them are from the north, and there are many gentry classes, and I don't know who they heard about Hong Kong is safer, so they are all waiting here, ready to enter.

Hong Kong's resettlement has been severely restricted, and it is very difficult to get a quota now, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people, to go to Australia and other overseas consulates.

Some refugees have no choice but to choose to enter the Australian mainland and other overseas territories, for them, there is no other choice, after all, at this time it is not their final say, it is completely up to the Australians.

Australians say they can immigrate in, they can, they can't if they can't, but there are special preferences for the gentry to immigrate to Hong Kong, as long as they pay a lot of immigration funds, they can become immigrants.

However, only some rich people have this ability, ordinary people don't have to think about it at all, in order to save their lives, they are naturally willing to pay a little more money.

Hong Kong's overseas consulate is currently stationed again with three warships, and once there is a change, the personnel and equipment on it will be transported away first, which is certain, of course, Hong Kong's defensive measures are also very stubborn, and it is generally not so easy to attack here.

It was not so fast to say that the Manchus were going south, and now the main thing to deal with is to accept the refugees who have fled, and these refugees are still the main objects of discussion.

Malacca and Luzon both regions need a large number of immigrants to reclaim wasteland and build fortifications, and at the same time, they also need a lot of manpower, ordinary immigrants are secondary, and there is also a discussion about these rich people.

Attracting some of the money to participate in local development, and at the same time making them identify with Australia as a country, is the key.

Giving certain political rights to businessmen is not in the Ming Dynasty, but Hong Kong is first implementing it, but relatively speaking, the rights are not very large, but there is a certain right to suggest, after all, the executive committee is worried that once the power is too large, it may cause a certain bad impact.

Not to mention anything else, those gentry class are the foundation of the ruling base in the Ming Dynasty, and whether the court's writing can be promoted or not depends on their propaganda, and naturally Australia does not want this kind of thing to happen in the mainland.

Therefore, the gentry and the merchant class must not be separated from the ordinary immigrants and the same place, and must be mixed to prevent them from forming an alliance of interests because of the village party.

The traversers themselves can form an alliance of interests, but they are absolutely not allowed to allow others to do the same, which will have a certain impact on the traversers themselves.

Therefore, they must be diverted, especially the gentry-level people in a place, it is best to stay in the city, after all, there are many people in the city, and it is very difficult to have a certain influence.

The Executive Committee demanded that in addition to dealing with the variables of the Ming Dynasty, it was also necessary to do a good job in receiving and distributing these gentry, and try to distribute these guys to various places.

In addition, it is necessary to mainly immigrate those skilled refugees, these talents must not be let go, compared with ordinary people, skilled immigrants are more welcomed by the Australian government. It doesn't matter what skills you have, but you always have to have the same, take the shot.

In order to prepare for the next changes in the situation in the Ming Dynasty, the Executive Committee made a decision for the first time to increase the number of troops in Hong Kong.

This decision was not easy at the time, after all, the local forces were also very limited, and the mobilization of troops to Hong Kong would inevitably cause a void in the local defenses. (To be continued.) )
