Chapter 357: Public Opinion Warfare

Public opinion warfare is a means of psychological pressure on the other side through the transmission of various information, so that it can defeat itself without a fight, but one thing is certain, public opinion warfare needs to be coordinated with actual actions, otherwise it is really difficult to play its practical role, in the words of the Australians, it is necessary to cooperate with some practical small-scale battles.

A small-scale battle determines the final victory of the public opinion war, after all, only by showing your strong side, the other side is likely to accept your terms, otherwise why should they accept your conditions.

In this case, the thing to do is to conduct a campaign by means of war. After all, in any case, the campaign is crucial.

However, Lao Sun didn't need to start a war at all, because someone had already solved this problem for him, the Australian army had captured Ganzhou and was advancing in the direction of Nanchang, during which Azig's troops were simply powerless.

In this case, if the other party does not surrender, it can only mean that they are stupid, even the main force of Azig is not the opponent of others, and you are still fighting with others with your back, isn't this looking for death.

Although Sun Chuanting's troops are not the complete main force of Australia, he himself is not weak at all, this is certain, the weapons in people's hands are much more advanced than yours, not to mention anything else, you can't compare with others in this alone.

So no matter what, you still have to surrender, Azig is not an opponent, Wu Sangui is also waiting to see, where is a small general soldier like himself who is an opponent.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, many Ming troops who had already surrendered to the Manchus came to surrender.

But it can be said that the Azig army that Australia is facing is not easy to deal with at all, these people are elite troops, and Australia really needs a little strength to deal with them, otherwise it really can't be compared with others.

Even Azig, who was defeated one after another, was not so easy to deal with, the army in his hand had not lost anything, and it was very easy to organize a counteroffensive.

Whether this is their strategy is not yet known, judging from the judgment on the battlefield, at least their strength is limited, and they still have a certain ability to engage head-on, and the most important thing is that their morale is high, so that they will not be defeated.

But even so, it is indispensable for other people's speculation, after all, you are still defeated after all, and this defeat is not the same In the eyes of some people, it is a defeat in the war, so on the one hand, the Australian army is still fighting in front, and on the other hand, it is organized to carry out public opinion propaganda.

Propaganda that the war of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was unfavorable, and even said that their troops were not enough, coupled with the continuous transfer of the Australian army, basically a large number of people believed their words, the Australian war is still very powerful, less than half a month has captured Ganzhou, is waving the army north, it seems that there is no problem to recover the whole of Jiangxi.

A grand celebration was held in the city of Guangzhou to signify the victory of the battle, and of course, on the other hand, they were also paying close attention to the battle report ahead.

Judging from various circumstances, the main force of the Manchu Qing has not yet been severely damaged, and even Dolgon is still increasing its troops, in order to be able to win this war, they are indeed fighting enough, after all, they must win anyway, otherwise what awaits them will be an unimaginable surrender.

Those Ming soldiers who had just taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty would soon switch to the side of the Ming Dynasty and act as their helpers against the Manchus.

In such a situation, if he didn't win, he could see what kind of chain reaction would be caused, and Azig would inevitably be punished, not to mention him, even Dolgon himself probably wouldn't be able to escape some accountability, after all, there were many people in the court who looked at him unpleasantly.

There were always people who wanted to put him to death, but because of his military exploits and the absolute strength of Azig and others leading the army, they did not rush to attack him, but this did not mean that they would give up on pulling him off the horse.

Australia knows this situation, after all, it is a person who has crossed over anyway, and he probably knows some of their current situation, and knows that there are many opponents of Dorgon, and at this time, Azig will be caught even if he uses tactics to retreat.

But at the same time, it also gives Australia an opportunity to use public opinion, that is, to use public opinion to reduce their morale.

Azig was questioned more and more in the court, and there were even rumors that he had reached an agreement with the Australians and deliberately withdrew his troops.

But fortunately, Dolgon's support for him is his greatest reliance, and if it weren't for Dorgon, he would probably be replaced, after all, they would have to defeat the Australians.

Although the battle between the Australian Legion and Azig began with an Australian victory, judging from the situation in the General Staff, there was not much joy.

If a force is slowly defeated and consumes its troops, it is better to say, the key is that Azig's troops are not much damaged, which is a big problem for Australia, you are not damaged, what does it mean, it means that your strength is still there, and there may be the possibility of counterattack.

Therefore, the troops fighting on the front line basically maintained a high degree of tension, closely watching their every move, but at the same time did not forget to stop the attack, after all, if the advance was too fast, it was very likely that the support in the rear would not be able to keep up.

In addition, Sun Chuanting's side has not yet taken Hunan to encircle the Australian Army, so it is not a good thing to march quickly.

But the situation on Lao Sun's side is a bit special, because the troops here are basically the Ming troops who defected to the past, and after knowing the news of the successive defeats of Azig, they decisively gave up following the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but chose to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty again.

Coupled with Sun Chuanting's continuous pressure, the final result was that these guys took refuge in him, and basically did not lose any troops in the first battle of Hunan, and almost recovered the entire territory.

This is a big deal, the troops led by Lao Sun actually recovered Hunan without much damage, which made the celebrations in Guangzhou City even more lively, not to mention that the sound of celebration firecrackers alone was put from morning to evening.

It is indeed a thing worth celebrating, and most importantly, they have received tens of thousands of troops, which can be immediately transformed into combat effectiveness and launch an attack on the Manchu Qing, can you not be happy, King Gui also specially ordered to be sent to the front line to reward Sun Chuanting and the soldiers.
