Chapter 619: Heavy Weapons of the Manchu Dynasty
It is said that Dolgon has successfully created a cannon cannon, this news is not known to be true or false, even Feng Zihai did not find out the truth or falsehood, but judging from the sudden change of Azig, there should be something unknown in the hands of the Manchu Qing.
What is it, the intelligence department is still verifying, but for the sudden change of Azig, He Yu had to make military arrangements, Hong Kong's military strength has reached the limit after increasing by 3,000 people, and the domestic recruits have not yet been trained, and at this time they are transferred to find death.
However, Azig's southward army was unstoppable, and Dolgon seemed to have calculated the lack of Australian troops, and even the arrival of the Sea Blue did not stop them from moving south, which put Australia into a passive state.
The Ministry of Defense held a special meeting for this purpose, and this time the 300,000 troops of Azig to the south can be said to be coming directly to Liangguang without making any stops, and Australia must join the advance operation, and the current number of troops that can be recruited in the Far East is about 3,000.
There are more than 2,500 mercenaries in Blackwater, this is a force with sufficient combat experience, if they join, plus Liangguang's own army, it should not be a problem to deal with 300,000 people, and Australia has lethal weapons.
Nearly 2,000 of the coffee mill machine guns had been mobilized to Hong Kong, and these guns were equipped with 20,000 new troops in Liangguang, and the ammunition was basically sufficient.
The order required Jiang Junbo, a shareholder of the Heishui Company, to lead 2,500 men into the Liangguang Campaign, and the Ministry of National Defense awarded him the rank of major general.
Jiang Junbo has no interest in fighting, but it is indeed a gratifying thing for him to get the rank of major general, and he does not need to join the army.
Soon Jiang Junbo and Tang Wei responded, agreeing to the government's request, and Tang Wei also announced that he would lead his cavalry company into Liangguang.
Liangguang received an official document from the Australian government to participate in the war, and Shen Youlong was so excited that he couldn't speak, what a rare thing. The Australians announced their participation in the war, how difficult it is to find it, the Australians have always been reluctant to participate in the battle, there must be their purpose, but they don't know what this purpose is.
The Australians' sudden entry into the battle also made Shen Youlong fall into thought, could it be that the Australians suddenly thought of something, or had other plans, but no matter how they thought about it, relying on Liangguang's own army could not resist the 300,000 army.
Azig Wu Sangui's army of 300,000 is not vegetarian. Even if he was fighting against 20,000 people under his own command, he didn't feel that he had that ability.
Now that the Australians are in the war, he can safely announce that he is not afraid, at least not so afraid, afraid that he will not be defeated, and finally end up with the same fate as the former Song and jump into the sea.
Well, Australians should be the most empathetic to this, and they will definitely not let this happen, so they must have a good relationship with Australians.
The sudden decision of the Ministry of Defense. also made He Yu almost didn't react, it is actually not a wise choice to participate in the war at this time, if you don't consider the consequences, it will be deep to be stuck in the quagmire of participating in the war in Australia at this time.
But this time I had to fight. It is unlikely that Azig's army will make other changes during its stay, and it is said that Haug's army is already marching towards Quanzhou, and it is believed that this news has stimulated Dorgon.
Once Haoge laid Quanzhou, an important base of the Zheng family, it was equivalent to the end of the Zheng family's status in this region. Hauge's position will also be more secure.
Hauge's position is secure, so what else is there to do with Dolgon, once he is secured. Then he is going to step down, so no matter what, he must let Azig go south.
As for whether the Australians will participate in the war, he has already considered it, and it is impossible for the Australians to go deep into the border alone, after all, the logistics supply of firearms operations is a big problem, and Australia must have a logistics supply, otherwise it will be difficult for them to do it.
No matter how powerful the Australians are without supplies, this time Dorgon has figured out the key, but he also noticed the weakness of firearms, so he must ensure that he does it in terms of supply, otherwise he will also fail this time.
The weapons used by the two white flags have all been replaced with Australian goods, if they are allowed to pick up bows and arrows and broadswords to fight with the new army of Liangguang now, not to mention whether they will win, but at least the combat power will be reduced by half This is for sure, and there is also an important reason that his army has adapted to this way of fighting.
Imagine how a unit that originally relied on broadsword craftsmen to fight now uses a simple and powerful weapon such as a rifle and cannon, how can it be back to the past, so Dolgon is more worried that his people will not be able to accept it.
Under this premise, he must ensure logistical supplies, but fortunately, the weapons purchased from Australia must be stockpiled, otherwise this time the Australians will be in a dilemma if they stop the supply of arms.
In addition to having Australia's stockpiles, in fact, the most favorable news is that the imitation Australian cannon has been made, which is obviously more powerful than the 26-pound gun, and the firing range is also 30 meters away, this distance makes Dolgon very happy, as long as this heavy weapon is made, it will be more certain when attacking the city.
After all, he has a good thing, or a sharp weapon will inevitably make a person feel at ease, Dolgon is such an idea, he has such a killing weapon, he is still afraid of the Australians' dry hair, why don't he fight Liangguang by himself, as long as he fights Liangguang, the Australians will have no way to take themselves.
So judging from all indications, Dolgon has been a little arrogant in the production of cannons, but it's okay, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know why the flowers are so red, and there is a reason to say that it is good, the sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to others, he is on Zhao Shijie.
Where is the power of the cannon that his 26-pounder cannon can be compared with, so He Yu also directly transferred several cannons from Hong Kong to participate in the war in Liangguang this time, just to let Dolgon's dirt bun see what a heavy weapon is, what kind of lethality is incomparable to him, and it is not something that a few blacksmiths can make.
Relying on hundreds of years of accumulation, if Australia's things are really so easy to learn, then Australia's second-in-command engineers can retire at least without mixing, and a craftsman from the Ming Dynasty can easily get your things out, do you still have a face, isn't this a slap in the face.
