If the victory of the Australians gave the Manchus a lot of pressure and mental stimulation, then the decision made by Hauge next can be regarded as a magnifying move in the overall layout of the Manchus.

Although Haoge's main force was pinned down in Quanzhou and could not be turbulent, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and some people were left behind after attacking other parts of Fujian, and these people were still assembled.

It was rare for the Manchu nobles to sit together and reach an agreement, after all, the news of the defeat of the Manchus by the Australians in Shaoguan had spread to the north like snow, and the northern land, which was already too stable, was even more turbulent at this time.

At this time, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still mired in internal strife, it was very likely that the Australian-Guangzhou coalition army would break through the Yangtze River and recover the north in one fell swoop, so for the sake of the overall situation, everyone sat together to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, the contradiction between Dolgon and Hauge has also been alleviated to a certain extent, after all, both sides are Manchu royal families, and if they are really driven out of the pass, they will definitely be the first to be impacted.

The long-term attack on Quanzhou and Shaoguan has already made people feel that the war is not so easy, and it is likely to enter a more difficult moment next.

In order to show his sincerity, Dolgon specially allocated ten cannons to be transported to Hauge's military camp to ease the relationship between the two sides.

Since Dolgon, who held the power in his hands, had made concessions, and the mediation of the nobles behind Hauge's back, it was natural to temporarily ensure that the two sides fought openly and covertly.

In fact, for Hauge to compete with Dolgon for power, he must have enough military merits, and it is true that he has gained a lot of military merits by fighting south, but he is still a little worse than the Dolgon brothers, so he must unify Jiangnan to be equal to Dolgon.

Now these are not the most important things, the most important thing is how to solve the problems that need to be solved at the moment.

Neither Quanzhou nor Shaoguan was defeated, which had a certain negative impact on the rule of the Manchus, and this negative impact had to be quickly resolved. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain stable rule in the north.

The myth of the invincibility of the Manchus was washed away again and again, until the myth of the Australians was refreshed again and again, and finally gave people the feeling that Australia could definitely win the war.

Even some of the generals within the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to fear fighting the Australians, and this was not a long-term solution.

Once the morale is low, it will affect the success or failure of the entire war, and if this problem is not solved well, then the entire Manchu ruling system will be affected.

Therefore, at this time, there must be a victory as propaganda, it is impossible to continue to attack Liangguang, and it is very dangerous to send troops before finding out the details of the enemy. And it is very likely that it will fail again, and if it fails, the impact on the entire battle situation is known.

If you want to boost morale, you must look for an opponent who is not so strong, who is this opponent, and the best object at present is King Lu, King Lu is now in an encirclement, and he can't be turbulent at all, and his troops' combat effectiveness is also the weakest in the entire Jiangnan.

According to the Manchu spies, the number of Lu kings' army was less than 100,000, and at most only 50,000. These 50,000 people are not a complete local army, many of them are temporarily recruited soldiers, and their combat effectiveness cannot even be compared to the Zheng family's army, and such an army is simply sent to abuse.

Although it was decided to attack King Lu. Completely solve him, but it is not so simple to really solve it, and when discussing who to send, there are different opinions in the court. Some said that the nearby Haoge army would attack, while others said that Azig would simply withdraw to attack Zhejiang.

Two different voices are caught up in a debate. In short, in the end, the discussion is to compete for who to attack, although King Lu is a small role, but the elimination of King Lu's regime is definitely a good opportunity, and it is a big military achievement.

In the end, it was Dolgon who let Hauge go, as long as Azig stayed outside the two Guangzhous, he was not afraid that there would be no chance of meritorious service.

Hauge received an order, with dozens of his personal entourage and went directly to Fuzhou, where he had gathered 20,000 people, and there was not much to deal with the troops of King Lu, in his opinion, only 20,000 at most was enough to take the whole of Zhejiang, and as for the task of Quanzhou, he was handed over to Aobai to manage, so that he could take charge of the troops here.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about such an arrangement, as long as Hauge's power becomes more and more stable, it will be a rising tide for him.

When the Manchus made this decision, they had thought about whether Australia would send troops to help King Lu, after all, they were the only ones who could use ships to transport troops to Zhejiang at sea, as for Liangguang, it was simply impossible, and they themselves were still facing the situation of being surrounded, and drawing troops at this time was equivalent to weakening their own defense capabilities.

If the Australians send troops, it is different, they can send troops from the mainland, but according to observation, the Australian ships from the mainland did not transport troops over, so it is impossible for them to rescue the Lu Wang regime, and the Lu King at this time is completely isolated.

The isolated regime of King Lu was the most suitable target for attack, and as long as the troops sent to Zhejiang, they could easily take this place, which was a decision of the Manchu court to study unanimously.

They thought that they would not need much force at all to completely restore the situation and restore the humiliation of the defeat of Quanzhou and Shaoguan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at least to boost morale and prepare for the next attack.

At present, the cannon has been delivered to the military camp in Azig, and Dolgon is waiting for the next batch of artillery to arrive when he intensifies the fierce bombardment of Liangguang, from his awareness of using artillery to fight, the two white flags rely too much on artillery, much larger than Hauge's troops, so at this time he did not give the order to attack Liangguang.

It is precisely because he did not give an order that he won valuable time for Australia, Shaoguan won a great victory, which is the most proud of the people of Shaoguan City, and they will feel proud every time they send the news of a great victory from here, because every time they fight, there will be a lot of people who are requisitioned to carry supplies in the army.

So this victory also has their share of credit, the Australian commander said, the work is not divided into positions, without their help, the Australian army would not have been able to fight such a beautiful battle, so this credit has their share, of course, verbal praise is only secondary, monetary praise is the most gratifying, as long as the people who participated in the work during the war, they will get a part of the economic reward after the war.

This reward is divided into money and materials, among which the special military canned food in the Australian army is their favorite, but they don't understand why these Australian soldiers don't like this canned food so much, how delicious it is, why do they hate it so much. (To be continued.) )
