Chapter 588: Complex Relationships
The year is October 1, 1644
It's another year's National Day, on this day, both local Australia and overseas consulates will hold some grand parties to celebrate, and state units and enterprises will also have a seven-day holiday.
With the start of the holiday, the shops on the streets of Hong Kong under the banner of the National Day promotion are also becoming more and more intense, full of business promotions, some thrifty women, saving a few months of money will be taken out, shopping on this day.
This habit is not only common in Hong Kong, but also in Hong Kong.
The ordinary may seem like a luxury to some newcomers, but it doesn't matter, they get used to it when they start to settle in.
At the Victoria Military Port in Hong Kong, five warships from the Malay Peninsula were docked at this time, and a queue of soldiers walked out of the warships, all of whom were veterans mobilized from the Malay Peninsula.
The number of troops in Hong Kong is close to the size of two battalions, and if you say that there is no action, you will not believe that others will be killed.
Even Dolgon sent people into Hong Kong several times to make contact with the local garrison commanders, hoping to find out what the Australians were going to do.
But the explanation is that Australia is just an ordinary change of defense.
Change the defense of your sister, change the defense of how can there be weapons and cannons continue to be transported upwards, the strength has doubled, what are you doing here, not thinking about hitting me.
Hauge did not say anything about the increase in troops, in his opinion, the Australians would not be able to make a move, but he also had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he was not afraid if there was really anything.
Moreover, the Australians still have business dealings with him, and he believes that the Australian will not send troops so easily.
I don't know whether to send troops or not, but Australia's most experienced officers and combat units have already been mobilized to Hong Kong, and He Yu has been appointed deputy commander of the Far East Military Provisional Command. He was responsible for the mobilization of the entire military forces deployed in the Far East.
If you carefully estimate it, Australia's military strength in the entire Far East is close to 2,000 people, and the Hong Kong garrison alone has exceeded 1,000 people. Looking at this means to be ready to do it.
But the meaning given by the General Staff is that they are not ready to do it now, now is not the time, the Zheng family and King Lu have not been destroyed, and Australia does not want to participate in this.
The increase in troops in Hong Kong is to give Shen Youlong confidence, Hauge and Dolgon have repeatedly proposed to send troops to Guangzhou, with the current strength of Shen Youlong may not be able to resist, so Australia urgently increased troops in Hong Kong.
I don't know if Hauge will use troops against Liangguang, but now he definitely won't. The news that his troops have been assembled and rushed to Fujian, and it is no secret that he wants to defeat Fujian.
But the news that Dolgon might attack Liangguang is true, in order not to let Haoge's military achievements be too great, Dolgon has allowed himself to fight, Azig and Wu Sangui led the army south, preparing to attack Liangguang.
The influence of Liangguang on him can be imagined, and at present, it is known that Liangguang is the most powerful among the southern forces, as long as the others are defeated, his influence in the court is still stronger than that of Haoge.
Recently, the contradictions within the Manchu Qing Dynasty have increased somewhat. Hauge has the support of the old nobles, and already has the capital to re-compete with Dorgon.
The complex relations within the Manchu Qing Dynasty may seem peaceful to outsiders, but in fact there are many factions inside. There was a lot of fighting between the great and small princes of Baylor.
Dolgon opened the door to the pass and led the Manchus into the Central Plains from outside the pass, laying the foundation for Manchu rule in the north, which culminated in the expansion of his reputation and power.
Hauge led his troops across the river. has the intention of unifying Jiangnan, and if it continues like this, sooner or later it will pose a threat to his dominance. So Dorgon had to move his troops to the south.
He must be cautious and understand clearly what the Australians are involved in, the number of troops they have increased in Hong Kong has reached more than 1,000 people, this scale can already withstand tens of thousands of troops, and it is said that they are still increasing their troops.
In this way, Hong Kong will become a military city, and the number of warships in the port will increase to eight.
At this time, Hong Kong's every move was related to Dorgon's troop policy, and once the Australians really got involved, you can imagine what it would be like.
Dolgon's spies have entered Hong Kong, and they have tried many times in the hope of getting news from the Australians.
But the complicated relationship between the Australians still didn't let them know the slightest news.
The arrival of He Yu, the deputy commander, can be said to be the most welcoming to Shen Youlong, because the two sides were originally acquainted, and Zheng Sen also served in the new army, so the communication between the two sides was even smoother.
The Australians' increase in troops in Hong Kong was something Shen Youlong did not expect, and this was an opportunity for him, an opportunity to persuade the Australians to help the Ming Dynasty fight against the Manchus together.
Therefore, Comrade Lao Shen specially rushed to Hong Kong from Guangzhou to meet with He Yu, the purpose of which was to meet this old friend.
If you can carefully observe the Australian military's appointment of He Yu, it is not difficult to find out the next move of the Australian military.
Lao Shen came to Hong Kong with a lot of gifts, and old friends naturally had to bring some gifts when they met, how could they do without gifts, so he brought Zheng Sen over just to get closer to each other.
"General He, I heard that you have been promoted again this time, which is really gratifying."
It is necessary to say some kind words, Lao Shen is a reader, and readers like this, of course, He Yu is not disgusted.
Just don't just be polite, so after a polite conversation, we started talking.
"Lord Shen is here this time for Dolgon's southward journey."
It was no secret that Dorgon was heading south, perhaps to show his determination, so he had already announced his plan to fight south, but the troops had not been dispatched until they were assembled.
At present, the number of new troops in Liangguang has expanded to 8,000 people, and only 5,000 people are really capable of fighting power, and the remaining 3,000 are all new soldiers.
Shen Youlong came to Hong Kong, he must have wanted to hear how the Australians expressed their position, if he could, he decided to ask the Australians to send troops, Australia Chen Bing Hong Kong is estimated to have this meaning, the purpose is to wait for himself to open conditions, as long as the interests are big enough, the Australians will not ignore this matter, Lao Shen is betting on the right this time.
