Chapter 335: Dolgon's Decision
As an important figure in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dolgon can be said to be a very talented person, both in governing the country and commanding the army, he has considerable talent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like other Manchu aristocrats, he loved the Three Kingdoms, and whenever he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, he would take out the Three Kingdoms to see, and he could always find the answers he needed to find from them.
In later generations, the legend that the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on one of the Three Kingdoms to govern the country was not a blind boast by historians, but there was really such a thing.
The main reason for this is that the current situation has become very complicated, and Shen Youlong of Liangguang has cooperated with Li Zicheng, which shows that the Manchu Qing will face a two-sided attack, so it is impossible for him to continue to let the army fight south.
Although Li Zicheng's strength is not as good as in his heyday, the tens of thousands of troops under his command have also been trained through battle, and such troops cannot be underestimated.
In addition, the Zheng family in Fujian had 100,000 male soldiers in their hands, and they could attack the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty from both land and water, and he still did not dare to do such a risky act.
So what needs to be done at present is to find a good way to solve the problem, and it may be a good choice to temporarily exterminate the Lu Wang forces in Zhejiang, after all, he is the weakest side of all the forces.
In addition, Dolgon also noticed the actions of the Australians, and it can be seen from the information released by the two Cantons that the Australians are very good at supporting the two Cantons, not only from all sides, but also sending troops to help them, and it is said that Hong Kong has gathered more than 10,000 elite troops to prepare to deal with the southward movement of the Azig army.
If this is the case, then the threat to Azig will not come from one side, but from several sides, which may cause Azig's southward army to fall into encirclement.
Once it is surrounded, it will be difficult to withdraw, hundreds of thousands of troops will go south, but the people who can really fight are tens of thousands, and once something happens to these tens of thousands of elite troops, basically the other troops will be finished.
After all, for them, those newly attached Ming new troops are not so loyal, and they are likely to defect at any time.
This kind of thing has also happened, and I originally wanted to rely on strong force to dominate Jiangnan, but now it is not so simple.
Now Dorgon saw an opportunity, an opportunity to divide the enemy and kill each other, that is, the abdication of Hiromitsu, the accession of King Gui, this was a good opportunity, and the other major forces did not show support for this decision.
That is to say, this is completely Liangguang's own personal behavior, since it is their personal behavior, then others will not support it, which can just make good use of it, so that they can compete with each other, so that they can benefit from the fishermen and seize Jiangnan at the least cost.
Zheng Zhilong of Fujian did not agree with Shen Youlong to support King Gui's ascendancy, after all, he knew that King Gui must be the one who held the power of the imperial court, and he could obtain limited benefits, so although he did not oppose it on the surface, he actually did not support it in his heart.
Speaking of which, King Lu's forces don't support it, after all, their banner is to supervise the country, and now that King Gui has become the emperor, is he still in charge of the country, there must be no such good thing.
In order to solve this problem, Shen Youlong also took a lot of effort, he had to let people know that King Gui's ascension to the throne was the best for everyone, and at the same time hoped that everyone would start from the general interests of the nation and put their personal interests aside.
That is to say, the current situation of the people in this independent state can be maintained, but they must support the decision-making of a court and maintain a high degree of unity on some issues.
Although such a decision still controls their own territory from the surface, they have actually indirectly admitted one thing, that is, to recognize the actual status of King Gui, this condition is not agreed casually, once agreed, it is equivalent to supporting King Gui, so everyone is waiting to see how the situation is.
At this time, Emperor Hongguang came out and gave a speech, calling on everyone to support King Gui, and showing that King Gui has a certain ability in governing the country, and everyone should support it.
His speech can be said to have played a role, after all, no matter what, on the surface, Hongguang supported King Gui's accession to the throne, whether it was forced or voluntary, but when he came out and spoke, some people would still listen.
Even if those people doubt whether he is under control, they must also consider the current situation, except for a few forces, some other small forces have no way to compare with Liangguang.
The soldiers of Liangguang are strong and strong, whether in terms of manpower or material resources, except for the Zheng family in Fujian, no one else has a way to compare with him.
After all, there are Australians behind them, but it is so easy to deal with, Dolgon also saw this, and knew that the attack on Liangguang was a hard stubble, and if it was not dealt with properly, it could become the biggest defeat since entering the customs.
Therefore, he wants to let the other forces in the south fight against Liangguang together, and only when they fight together against Liangguang can it be possible to minimize the losses.
So Dolgon sent various agents to Fujian, Zhejiang and other places to spread rumors, saying that King Gui was only superficially friendly to them now, and once he sat down, he would take back his military power from them.
In fact, this kind of thing is also possible, and there is no need for him to think that everyone will think of it, after all, it is possible to complete the unification of the south and fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty only if the two Guangxi and Guangxi forces are integrated.
However, while they were still thinking, the 10,000 Australian troops stationed in Hong Kong had entered the city of Guangzhou in a high-profile manner and declared war on the Manchus.
This news can be said to be a little surprising, everyone knows that Australia supports Liangguang, but they didn't expect that it would send troops so quickly, more than 10,000 people entered the defense of Guangzhou City, which will allow Liangguang to free up some troops to deal with others, no matter which side it is aimed at, it is not good news.
But this is good news for Shen Youlong, because the entry of the Australian army means that the unification war between the two provinces has begun, so there is basically no chance for other forces to resist, and the Australians will directly send troops. (To be continued.) )
