Chapter 593: The Intentions of the Australians
The whole year of 1644 was the most important and busy year for Australia, and various things appeared one after another, so that Australia had to make changes in the original plan.
In order to better adapt to this era influenced by butterfly wings, the number of spies sent by Australia has reached 1,000 people, especially in Europe and the Ming Dynasty.
The surveillance of the Manchu Qing has become the key work of the Ming Overseas Secret Service, which is a task that they must have every day, and they must report every move to the country as soon as possible, which is the rule, and it is also to prepare for the expedition.
The domestic conscription faction has repeatedly proposed to participate in the war, and if the military had not agreed, the Australian troops would have begun to fight with the Manchu army.
The increase in troops in Hong Kong and the meeting between Shen Youlong and He Yu made Dolgon sleep, but this was an important meeting, and he did not believe that it was just a reunion of old friends.
If he didn't guess wrong, Shen Youlong should have gone to the Australians for help, and the Australians kept transporting troops to Hong Kong, and it seemed that they also intended to participate in this war.
The situation is getting more and more complicated, which makes Dolgon hesitate to send troops to Guangzhou, but it is absolutely necessary to go south, and the battle report from the front has been delivered, and this guy Haoge is about to hit Fuzhou.
It's just that Dolgon can't figure out why this Zheng family is so unbeaten, just after such a while, they were beaten to the door of the house, originally thought that they could resist for a while, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, this Zheng family army is also a group of straw bales.
A reckless man like Hauge can actually break the enemy all the way, which is a big blow to Dolgon, this guy shouldn't have such a ability, the more he fights, the worse his position in the DPRK will become.
That's for sure, and there are signs of it. That guy can't sit still, and it seems that he can't suppress it well.
It's just that the news released by the Liangguang Daily is that the Australians may go north, go north, and the warships will sail directly to Tianjin, what are they going to do, this is closer to the capital, can it be said that they are preparing to attack the capital, these Australians are not crazy.
The defense of the capital can be described as impregnable, with an army of more than 200,000, and a few thousand people want to take the capital. This is too risky, it is taboo for soldiers to go deep alone.
Australian soldiers have always had a thorough understanding of the art of war, and the likelihood of committing such a thing is very low, and the only possibility is that they are interested in the land of the north.
There are eight warships in Hong Kong, and each warship can carry at least 300 soldiers, which means that it can transport 2,400 people to the north. Maybe nothing, but if it's the Australian army, then it's a big problem, and the Australian army is famous for its combat power.
Dolgon did not dare to say that his two white flags were invincible. Even the Australian army can be defeated, in case this big word is spoken, provoking the old Australian army to attack the city, it will be difficult to do.
It's okay if the siege can't be stopped. If it is captured, then he will become the target of Wanfu, and the current situation between the DPRK and China is a bit weird. At this time, it is not advisable to cause more trouble.
The troops going south have been assembled, and they can be pulled out just waiting for him to give an order, but the news of the Liangguang Daily makes him dare not be unguarded, you must know that there are not many troops in the north after going south, and he doesn't believe in those Ming green battalion soldiers at all.
If the Australians come to attack, maybe they will help others together, but it's hard to say.
He also wanted to continue to observe the actions of the Australians and make decisions, but immediately some people disagreed, saying that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he no longer dared to kill the enemy in battle.
Although he knows that it is a radical general, he will accept it for celebrities, especially for a young and famous general like Dorgon, he has suffered it, and it is estimated that his subordinates will not be able to stand such insults.
So Dolgon gave the order to go south, and the 300,000 troops of Azig and Wu Sangui went south, but the order given to them was to march slowly and not to accelerate, and he was actually still a little worried in his heart.
After all, there are eight warships parked in Hong Kong, and at present, the total strength of Hong Kong, including the rest of the Dashun army, is at least tens of thousands.
Tens of thousands of soldiers with new weapons, under the command letter of the Australians, not to say that they won all battles, but it is very possible to break through the capital, why do you say that, the artillery used by the Australians is large-caliber, and the power of such a large artillery must not be smaller than the 26 pounds they use.
This is one of the main reasons why Dorgon gave such an order, if he could, he would not give such an order, his purpose was to prevent the possibility of happening, so that the army could return in time.
As long as the army can return in time, he is sure to resist the attack of the Australians, after all, he also has a lot of Australian firearms and ammunition stored in his arsenal, which are used to prevent accidents.
Now it seems that as long as the Australians go north, they will definitely use it, but I don't know if the Australians will do it, and the news of the spies has not been sent back.
Just as he was thinking for a moment, the spies sent the news that there was a change in the army of Hong Kong, the Australian warship had left the harbor at night, and many soldiers from the barracks had also boarded the warship, this news was too important for Dorgon.
The soldiers sailed overnight, which was clearly an action, although it was not determined what their purpose was, but it was very likely to be Tianjin, so Dolgon did not dare to act easily, and hurriedly ordered the army to stand by and wait for the military order.
This move puzzled many people, and Dolgon didn't bother to explain to them, what do a group of guys with no big vision know, in case the Australian old man landed from Tianjin with the remnants of tens of thousands of Dashun troops, and then killed all the way to the capital, he knew how big a blow to the Manchu Qing would be.
Once a two-sided attack was formed militarily, at this time, the Liangguang New Army went into a battle, which could be said to be able to completely drag the Manchu troops southward, and then the Australians could use superior forces to go all the way south from the north to form a flank attack with the Liangguang New Army, and finally the Manchu army would be defeated.
What we have to do now is to let the army stay put, wait and see every move of the Australians, if there is any change, immediately drive back to Beijing, the importance of the capital is much more important than going to fight Liangguang now, I believe that those guys can also see this, if they can't see this, then they are really rotten to the bones.
