Since Hauge captured Nanjing, there had been a marked change in the power within the Manchus, and Dolgon was not the only one with the right to speak.

Relying on his military exploits in the south of the Yangtze River, Haoge has successfully regained military power and won the support of a group of aristocratic elders.

At present, the two main forces within the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been divided into the Dolgon faction, which is based on the principle of conservatism, and this faction is mainly composed of the three brothers, and the other faction continues to dominate the radical faction dominated by Jiangnan.

The main members of these Lili were represented by the old Manchu aristocracy, and their greed for gold everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River forced them to support the march, and Hauge was the leader of their push.

Of course, for the little emperor in the palace, in fact, the mutual containment of the two factions is the best for them, if these two factions want to get greater power, they must get it from him, so in the eyes of the woman in the harem, this is actually the best form at present.

As long as there is a fight between them, they will definitely not dare to have any disrespect for her and the little emperor.

Although Dolgon is now contained by Hauge in the court, his power is not small, and the combat effectiveness of the two white flags is still the most powerful force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with about 500 artillery pieces and nearly 2,000 muskets of all kinds.

In the face of the increasing use of firearms on the battlefield, both the Manchu generals and the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty could feel that the power of these weapons was beyond their imagination.

Not long ago, Haoge's army fought a skirmish with the Wuyue army in Jiujiang, and in this war, Haoge's side did not move more than 1,000 people, while the number of the Wuyue army was only a few dozen, and the final victory or defeat was the side with fewer people.

At this time, Hauge realized why Dolgon did not send troops to Jiangnan, and if he encountered the same number of Wuyue troops, there was almost no possibility of victory. Changing the army has become Hauge's first idea.

Naturally, Dolgon had the same idea as him, and Comrade Lao Duo could be said to have an almost respectful attitude towards the weapons of the Australians, and the weapons assembled by the two white flags were almost all made in Australia, but he contacted the Australians many times, and the Australians were quite cautious about selling weapons.

Australians have said that for the sake of the security environment in the region, they cannot easily sell weapons. This disrupts the local security environment.

This reason is not convincing at all, you don't destroy the security of the region, but you occupy Hong Kong and sell weapons to Liangguang, which is obviously against what you say, of course, the Manchu envoys will not say that, they will only say that please think about it more.

Hauge knew the relationship between the Australians and Shen Youlong, and there was news that there was a cooperative relationship between them, and even the army was directly trained by the Australian army.

It can be said that this kind of relationship is not sold to himself, but what makes Hauge angry. The Australians actually sold weapons to Dolgon, which is a little unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that the border between the two wides is not hindered, I am afraid that he would have hit Hong Kong to teach them a lesson.

However, Dorgon was able to buy a large number of weapons from the Australians, and at the same time received guidance from the Australians.

Dolgon, who has absolute superiority in weapons, can be said to be completely unafraid of Hauge, as long as his army has an absolute number of weapons, no one can threaten him.

So when it comes to weapons research, Dorgon has always been very hardworking. The amount of money invested is also huge, and the purpose is self-evident.

He controlled the Manchu firearms factory. If Hauge needs to fight him, the first thing to do is to have a firearms workshop of the same size, and only with such a firearms workshop can he gain the ability to compete.

At present, the weapons used in the war basically rely on firearms, and the distribution is completely controlled by Dorgon, so it can be said that he has the initiative in a war.

Under this premise, Hauge is naturally very afraid.

Accompanying Hauge to the south was the fierce general Aobai, who was said to be quite appreciated by Hauge. Seeing that his boss was so sad about the weapon, he mentioned it to Haoge, saying that Feng Zihai was quite connected with the Australians, and maybe he could get an Australian weapon.

Feng Zihai, Haoge doesn't seem to be very familiar. But as long as he can get Australian weapons, he sent Ao Bai to meet Feng Zihai to discuss with him whether he can get Australian weapons.

As soon as the two met, they first exchanged politeness, and then began to talk about the purpose of their visit this time.

If you want to buy weapons, although you know that there is a tendency to split within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you didn't expect it to be so fast, it seems that Hauge's military exploits in the south have brought him a lot of benefits, otherwise this guy would not have the strength to argue with Dolgon.

Dolgon has the strongest team in his hands, isn't it so easy to defeat, and at the same time, there is another important reason that Dolgon can buy a large number of weapons from Australia.

Except for some particularly lethal weapons, such as the 1640 rifle and 26-pounder gun, which have become obsolete in Australia, he can buy a lot of them, a privilege that Hauge cannot enjoy.

Feng Zihai didn't agree immediately, but said that he would contact Australian businessmen to see if they had a way, and if so, he would help Aobai buy some.

Through the purchase of weapons, Feng Zihai can also see that the contradictions within the Manchu Qing are getting bigger and bigger, and there must be a war between Hauge and Dolgon, and it will be in the near future.

Once Jiangnan is really unified by him, Dolgon's voice in the court will become less and less, and Hauge, who has the military merits of unifying Jiangnan, will inevitably ride on his head.

Therefore, Dolgon will inevitably prevent him from continuing to fight, and it is foreseeable that the internal fighting within the Manchu Qing will become more fierce in the near future, and at the same time, there is a high probability of armed fighting, and Dolgon has this strength, and his troops have slowly all been replaced with firearms.

Feng Zihai needed to negotiate with China whether to sell weapons to Haoge, add a fire to the volatile Manchu situation, and add a handful of oil to make him burn more vigorously.

However, what should be done now is to collect more intelligence, Feng Zihai has already felt that the talents under his command are not enough, and he has already proposed to send additional personnel over like Liu Yun, especially those with certain teaching experience, so that he can cultivate more outstanding and qualified intelligence talents in the local area.

In the end, Ao Bai still asked Feng Zihai to do his best, if the matter is done, he will not be treated badly, of course, Feng Zihai also knows what Haoge can give himself, if he succeeds, it will be equivalent to another protection he has obtained in the Manchu ruling area. (To be continued.) )
