Chapter 552: A Choice

A war determines the fate of two people and two forces, it can be said that whether Hauge can rise depends on whether he can make a difference in the march into Fujian, and whether Zheng Zhilong can finally go to South Vietnam to develop also depends on whether he can resist Hauge's attack.

In order to win the war, Hauge has urgently requisitioned grain and grass from all over the country, and Dorgon can manipulate him in the grain and grass, but it cannot stop his decision to requisition grain and grass in the old land.

In the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's expeditions, when the generals encountered a shortage of grain and grass, they could be requisitioned and transferred from the old land, and the so-called requisition was actually robbery.

For Hauge, robbing the people of the occupied areas of food and finances is not a big deal, as long as you can win the war, no one will care if you do anything, hasn't he Dolgon done this kind of thing before.

Therefore, as soon as Haoge's grain and grass crisis was lifted, he accelerated the route to Fuzhou, and after entering the territory of Fujian, Haoge's army was not attacked much, because along the way, either people went to the city or some old, weak, sick and disabled, and there was no chance to replenish the old land.

However, he was also glad that he had already made a plan, otherwise once he fell into a grain and grass crisis, even if he had strong combat effectiveness, it would be useless, and he would have to withdraw his troops in the end.

Dolgon harshly criticized his brutal requisition, but it was of little use, as both sides knew that they would follow orders from abroad.

What's more, Hauge is now with stiff wings, who will care about Dorgon's words, as long as this war is won, he Hauge can regain everything he lost.

In recent days, he has been in a particularly good mood, and the reason is that Ao Bai has contacted Australian businessmen, and the news obtained from Feng Zihai has confirmed that some Australian businessmen are willing to risk losing artillery and weapons from the country, but the price may be half more expensive than the regular channels, after all, smuggling is a crime.

As long as someone is willing to sell, Hauge thinks it's very good, for him. Possession of Australian weapons means that the odds of winning this war have added a lot of straw, and as long as he has enough weapons, even two white flags will not be able to help him.

Feng Zihai has been in contact with China since he made contact with Australia, and the National Security Council has issued a notice of an emergency meeting.

Everyone agreed that if the situation in the Manchus was to be thrown into a state of partisanship, it was necessary to let Hauge rise and regain power, and only when he gained power could he re-compete with Dorgon.

The current situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty is dominated by the Dolgon family. The aristocratic senators were very dissatisfied with his rule and distribution of benefits, so they urgently needed someone to come out to lead, and this leader was Hauge, who had a long-standing grudge between Hauge and Dorgon.

There are even rumors that Dolgon had an affair with Hauge's concubine, this kind of thing will not be groundless, and the grievances between Hauge and Dolgon's uncle and nephew are almost unknown to everyone, and it is almost difficult to completely resolve them.

The relationship between these two people has reached a point where it cannot be resolved. Therefore, it is a natural hostile force, and it is also the best object to be used.

Australia wanted to use the original discord between them to create internal contradictions within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After entering the customs, the Manchu nobles no longer had the unity they had outside the customs, and now everyone was dazzled by money and interests.

This is also the time when their competition for interests is most intense. As long as you have a good grasp of this degree, you can differentiate them well.

The purpose of selling weapons to Hauge was to increase his capital against Dorgon, and there was also another purpose to defeat Zheng Zhilong, and eventually force him to move his power to South Vietnam to develop and realize Australia's next plan.

If this plan is successful. It will help Shen Youlong, who can help Liangguang, to provide a lot of help when unifying the south in the future.

Now that Zheng Sen has arrived at Liangguang, if Zheng Zhilong does not leave, there will always be a knot between the father and son. Zheng Sen cannot be allowed to use his talents and learning.

Dolgon did not know that Hauge had purchased weapons at this time, and the number of weapons that Ao Bai had obtained from Feng Zihai had already entered the delivery stage, and they would soon be transported to the front-line troops.

Therefore, Haoge is a little more confident in attacking Fujian.

And promised that once Fujian was defeated, not only would Feng Zihai be rewarded, and they would be the biggest contributors to this war.

Feng Zihai can now be said to be a celebrity in the Manchu aristocratic circle, almost no one knows this guy, they all know his magical powers, and he is especially good at being a person.

Almost every time a new shop is opened, a part of the dry shares will be given to local officials, and his relationship with Ao Bai is extraordinary.

Now that he has won Hauge's appreciation, it is conceivable that he will be more prosperous in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future.

Ao Bai has gone to the handover point, this time the artillery lost from Australia is said to be from the Dayuan Island Arsenal, as for the lost merchant used what method to get it, Feng Zihai also said that the merchant family is a very powerful nobleman in Australia, belonging to the army, so he can get these weapons.

This time, the artillery reached 100 and 500 rifles, in fact, Ao Bai still likes artillery, after all, its power is even greater when fighting, and the power of the rifle is limited, so he asked Feng Zihai to get more artillery, this artillery is a good thing.

Of course, Feng Zihai knew the power of artillery, but there were restrictions on this export in Australia, especially the number of artillery exported to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was strictly registered, and the total number of artillery exported each year should not exceed 200 guns, which was half of it at one time, if it weren't for the fact that he was really not Dolgon's opponent, it would be good to have fifty guns.

Feng Zihai could only nod secretly, saying that he would try his best to get this, after all, artillery is a heavy weapon, and it is more troublesome to smuggle, so it is easy to get grenades and rifles, and that thing is small and not easy for others to detect.

Ao Bai patted the other party's shoulder to show that he knew, and told him that Haoge was going to reward him, and asked him what kind of reward he wanted, Feng Zihai smiled and said, there is no idea, just be able to do business smoothly and make money, this is his pursuit.

A person who has the pursuit of money is actually the best to satisfy, if Feng Zihai has other requirements, Ao Bai will feel that something is wrong and start to pay attention to him, and have doubts, after all, his identity is there, and he is not a Manchurian, so Feng Zihai knows how to speak.
