Fujian Wuyi Mountain generation, Haoge's army and the Zheng family have been engaged in more than a dozen rounds of battles, the two sides won more than defeat, no one took advantage, although Zheng Zhilong mobilized 20,000 people from all over the world, but, in the face of Haoge's army still did not occupy the slightest advantage.

Maybe the Eight Banners were fighting too strong or were on the defensive, in short, Zheng Zhilong's more than 40,000 people couldn't recover the lost ground at all.

According to his estimates, Haoge's food and grass have been exhausted, and the ammunition of the artillery is almost used, but even so, he still does not dare to easily send troops to fight to the death, the Eight Banners Army has a tradition of becoming more and more brave the more they fight, Lao Zheng has heard of this.

The two sides are now basically in a state of confrontation, Zheng Zhilong's strength has reached the limit, and it is impossible to recruit troops to fight here, so it can only be consumed like this, and Haoge's troops are not enough to support him to win completely.

However, all this will soon be over, and more than 10,000 elite troops mobilized from Hunan have already entered Jiangxi and will arrive at Wuyi Mountain in the near future.

For the tea-producing area of Wuyi Mountain, Haoge has announced that he will defend it to the death, and if he loses it, he will apologize with death.

This is a bit off, it seems that he has completely made this the main source of his military spending.

According to the latest tea export price, it has risen by almost one tael of silver per kilogram, which has risen by almost half in normal times, and this price will continue if the war between them has not been decided.

But for the Zheng family, the income in the first month has almost dropped by two layers, some markets in Jiangbei have disappeared, and the tea exported to Japan is restricted by the original goods, so now he buys some high-priced smuggled tea.

Although the export can be guaranteed to a certain extent, the volume is actually significantly reduced, and the profit can only be guaranteed to the cost of running back and forth, which is a loss for the Zheng family.

The only way to change this situation is to recapture the tea-producing areas, but it is limited by the problem of troops. It was impossible for Zheng Zhilong to mobilize the troops of several major cities here, so he could only confront each other like this.

In private, Zheng Zhilong also practiced the Australians, hoping that they could send troops to help the Zheng family fight together, and promised that the tea exported to Australia would be given the lowest price, but the Australians' attitude was resolute, saying that this was an internal affair between the Ming Dynasty, and it was inconvenient for Australia to interfere.

Lao Zheng was a little unhappy with this answer, obviously he didn't want to care, but he actually said that it was inconvenient to interfere in the matter of your increase in troops in Hong Kong. Isn't there some other intention?

After the last increase of more than 100 troops, the strength of Hong Kong has recently increased by another 200 troops, and this force is said to have been the first company stationed in Hong Kong, that is, He Yu's troops.

However, these people are all new recruits, and they are brought back by a very small number of veterans for training.

With such an obvious meaning, I am afraid that everyone can see that the Australian old man must have a big move, not just the whole training, if it is just the whole training, then there is no need to mobilize so many people to Hong Kong. It can be done anywhere.

Some people with a keen sense of smell have clearly felt the silence before the storm, because it is so calm, and the fact that the Australians are so low-key and even without any propaganda or explanation shows that they are indeed doing something.

As for what to do. Many people are speculating, but what is certain is that what the Australians are doing must have something to do with Liangguang, and it is not known what role Liangguang will play in this storm. However, the strength of the two Guangxi forces is shrinking.

The soldiers of the New Army in Hunan, Jiangxi, and other places have all been mobilized back to the city of Guangzhou, and some places have even directly abandoned their garrisons, which is very unusual.

Faced with this situation. Haoge, who was still fighting in Fujian, couldn't guess what Liangguang was up to, but Haoge didn't accept the meaning of these territories, but took the meaning of waiting and seeing, you must know that this is too unusual Haoge is a person who is known for his arrogance, and this time he is so calm.

In addition to the need to transfer troops in, I am afraid that there is another main purpose in it, which is to be afraid of being tricked.

Because once he is calculated, Haoge will face the danger of fighting on both sides, even if his army is more numerous than Zheng Zhilong and Shen Youlong, but the combat power of the new army of Liangguang is not weak at all, and it is absolutely no problem for 5,000 people to resist at least 30,000 troops.

Moreover, the Australian veteran has been increasing his troops recently, and the total number of troops in Hong Kong has approached 1,000, and these people are nominally recruits to the outside world, but who knows whether they are recruits or not.

Once the Australians and Shen Youlong form an alliance to help him fight, then Hauge will not be so sure, the Australian army of 1,000 people is not a problem at all, and the Australian army is known all over the world, not to mention that the army of Liangguang is strong, this is still taught by the Europeans to be so powerful, so isn't it even more powerful when you meet the master.

For Liangguang, Haoge actually has his own plans, Liangguang is the largest of the major forces in the south of the Yangtze River, if you want to deal with it, you can't be in a hurry, you must eliminate the other forces.

If you can't eliminate the other forces, then you are likely to be faced with two enemies, which is not a good thing.

You must know that fighting on both sides is a taboo for soldiers, and Haoge understands this very well, and the purpose of his eagerness to control tea production is to cut off one of the main financial resources of the Zheng family, and at the same time, there is also a purpose to pocket Fujian and slowly deal with Liangguang in the future.

Even if there are Australians supporting Liangguang at that time, he doesn't have to be afraid, at least his back will not be attacked. As for Dolgon, he will also think about the overall situation and send troops to support.

This is equivalent to kidnapping Dolgon, but it is also a last resort, which is a matter of merit for the entire Qing Dynasty, so Hauge does not feel that he has anything wrong.

As long as you do what you want in your heart, you will definitely achieve your goals.

Now all forces are actually observing, among which Li Zicheng, a troll, has not been bubbling for a long time.

Lao Li, who was holding back in Dabie Mountain to fight guerrillas, suddenly didn't speak, but more people remembered him, thinking that he should have some actions, and he was holding back.

I don't know what Lao Li is doing, or what else he is doing, but his food is indeed no longer growing, and I don't know what he's doing recently, but the number of troops is decreasing, but one thing is certain, and he will never be disbanded and go home.

The calmer it is, the more difficult it is to feel the less peaceful, so many gentry and wealthy businessmen have begun a new round of emigration, and the current situation is simply too strange for them. (To be continued.) )
