Chapter 651: King Lu's Self-Rescue

The victory of Shaoguan brought a huge negative impact to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and at the same time brought a lot of trouble to the King of Lu in Zhejiang, a war against the King of Lu was continuing, and the regime of King Lu at this time could be said to be stormy, and it had reached the point where it was very difficult to control the situation.

With Hauge entering Jiangnan and occupying most of Fujian, Zhejiang was already surrounded by the Manchus from the map, and he could attack him at any time, in fact, Hauge persuaded him to surrender, and the meaning of attacking Zhejiang was very different from his own surrender.

If one of the princes of the Ming Dynasty surrendered, it would definitely be something that could be vigorously promoted, so they did not think that attacking and solving it by force was the key, but that his own surrender was what the Manchu court wanted.

At the beginning of the establishment of the court of King Lu in Zhejiang, there was a war with the Tang King of Fujian, but the war between the two sides was only a small local friction, and the troops dispatched were not very many, and now they have to face the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they know very well how the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners is.

At this time, King Lu wanted to reach an alliance with the Australians, hoping that they would also help him, but the Australians didn't seem to be interested in King Lu at all, and they never even sent a person to communicate during the period, and only the Australians could save King Lu at this time.

Australia's old cruising fleet on the sea can transport troops to any seaside dock in Zhejiang at any time, but it is only a question of whether they are willing or not.

Seriously, King Lu is a little envious of King Tang and King Fu, how can these two guys be so favored by the Australians, they are both Ming royal families, this treatment is too different, then King Gui has directly won the support of the Australians, if he can get the support of the Australians, then the news of defeating the Manchus now should be from himself.

King Lu felt that something was wrong when Haoge attacked Fujian, and at this time he did not directly attack himself nearby, but chose the powerful Fujian, which shows that they wanted to force themselves to surrender.

As for why you think so. King Lu also knew that once he surrendered, the role of the Manchu rule in Jiangnan would not be as simple as relying on the benefits of force to solve the problem.

As a member of the Ming royal family, how could King Lu surrender easily, surrender is absolutely impossible for him, and for now, he still has more than 50,000 people in his hands, in order to deal with the upcoming war, King Lu has ordered all places to prepare.

At the same time, the recruitment of new recruits is also continuing, and on the other hand, it is also stepping up the dispatch of people to contact the two Guangxi and Australians. However, according to the current situation, it is very unlikely that the two Guangxi can send troops to solve the problem, if not possible.

Their own problems have not been solved, how can they send troops, so they did not take this to heart, and focused on the Australians, hoping to get help from the Australians, of course, it is better for them to send troops.

The myth of the undefeated Australians has spread in the land south of the Yangtze River, and everyone believes that the Australians are the key to defeating the Manchus. Even King Lu himself thinks so.

King Lu was in danger, and the Expeditionary Force Command knew this very well, and even if there was no news from the intelligence, they could guess what the Manchus would do next. At this time, they must save face, it is impossible to continue to attack Liangguang, and they need to make adequate preparations for attacking Liangguang.

Once the attack on Liangguang is not successful, it will have a very great positive impact on the Manchus. In addition to the impact on their dominance, I am afraid that those who surrender will also think about whether to fight back.

After all, when entering the customs, everyone was confused at that time. Many people see others surrendering, and they surrender with them.

In the headquarters of the Hong Kong Expeditionary Force, the envoy of King Lu has arrived, in order to show his respect for Australia, this King Lu did not put on a **** shelf, but respectfully explained his intention to the two chief officers of He Yu Wang Iron Hammer.

"Commander He, the main purpose of my visit this time is to ask the Australian side to send troops to help us resist the attack of the Manchus, according to the information we have received, Hauge is already gathering troops to launch an attack on Zhejiang."

As soon as King Lu's envoy came, he directly opened his mouth to raise troops, and he didn't say anything politely, which shows that King Lu has indeed reached a very critical moment, if the Australians do not send troops at this time, then the estimate waiting for them will be directly destroyed.

"Lord Li, with all due respect, even if our country sends troops to help you resist this attack by the Manchus, they will still launch a second and larger attack, so my suggestion is that it is best for you to directly abandon Zhejiang and turn to guerrilla warfare, which is your way out."

He Yu directly put forward his own suggestion, after all, it is actually difficult for Australia to send troops, Australia's troops are not much, and sending troops to Zhejiang at this time is equivalent to giving up Liangguang, and sending troops at least one regiment or more can fight against Haoge.

Helping King Lu is not cost-effective for Australia, and it is not worth it, in the future, the two Guangxi will unify Jiangnan, at this time, the best place for King Lu is to be eliminated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or to go to Australia to retire, these two are his only way out, as for going to fight guerrillas, what is the deliberate saying.

King Lu is used to living a good life, how can he go to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, so he will never go, but he will not surrender, He Yuzhi hopes that he will go directly to Australia to retire, as for Zhejiang, it will be ceded to the Manchus first, which is also a way to disperse the Manchu troops and contribute to the recovery of Jiangnan by the Australia-Guangzhou coalition army.

Lord Li, you also know the current situation, the crisis between Guangxi and Guangxi has not been resolved, it is difficult for us to send troops to Zhejiang, so we can sell weapons to you to defend the city, as long as you need it, we can ship the weapons to your purpose today.

There is not much investment in Australia for King Lu's regime, and naturally there will be no feelings, but after all, they are all anti-Manchurian, so they decided to help them and sell them some weapons to defend the city, whether they can resist it depends on their own, Australia is impossible to send troops, and this war can only rely on themselves.

King Lu's envoy actually guessed that the Australians were unwilling to send troops, after all, if the other party divided the troops at this time, it would also weaken the defense of Liangguang, and he didn't have much hope when he came, and the order given to him by King Lu was to try to persuade if he could, and if he couldn't convince, he hoped that the Australians could sell some weapons, and if they had weapons, they could at least resist for a while, and when the time came, they were recruiting more soldiers, and the attack on Hauge should be able to resist.

Although the Australians did not agree to send troops, the envoy thanked them for selling weapons to him.
