Australia has established a complete defense facility in Quanzhou, which began two months ago, when Zheng Zhilong conducted unilateral negotiations with Australia, and Australia wanted to take over Quanzhou, which Zheng Zhilong felt was a very elusive thing at that time.

Quanzhou has been a port of trade since ancient times, although the status is a little different, but in Lao Zheng's view, there is actually nothing different, it is said that the special thing is that it is suitable as a docking ship to have the background of foreign trade there.

But if this is the case, I am afraid it is not the main reason why Australians want to be here, Australia has only spent two months outside the city to build bunker fortifications, etc., these fortifications are Zheng Zhilong himself who feels that he can never attack them, not to mention that Haoge has tens of thousands of troops, as long as there is a lot of ammunition, there is no day to capture the city.

As for the purpose of the Australians to spend so much money on building fortifications, I am afraid it is not so simple, if it is only used for trade and docking ships, Hong Kong should be enough for them, and the construction of Hong Kong is not much smaller than that of Quanzhou.

Haoge's attack on Quanzhou failed, and the cannon fodder piled up many times did not break through the defense line, even at night, Quanzhou City was impregnable, not to mention anything else, to say that the entire defense line that was brightly lit at night could not find a breakthrough at all, even if there were one or two places suitable for a breakthrough, there would be a sound, and the machine gun would shoot convexly.

This time he was really in trouble, Haoge only now figured out why Zheng Zhilong kept fighting and retreating, his purpose was to gather troops and fight in Quanzhou City, now it seems that he is in the middle of the scheme, this Zheng Zhilong is extremely cunning, it is really hateful.

For yourself in the scheme. Hauge can be said to be very angry, but there is no way at this time, if he wants to break the city, he can use more powerful artillery to suppress the opponent except for a strong attack.

The former is no longer good, there are countless casualties, and he can have no scruples about the death or injury of the surrendered Ming soldiers, but if he repeatedly uses force to attack them and send them to death. In the end, it is also very possible to rebel against the water, after all, the main force of his army is only a few thousand people, and if these thousands of people want to suppress tens of thousands of people, it is very enough in peacetime, but if they have to die at this time to attack the city or not, it is estimated that most people will immediately rebel against the water.

So at this time, Hauge didn't dare to forcibly let people attack the city, and he had to find a breakthrough, otherwise if he continued in such a way of attacking the city, his morale would inevitably be affected.

For Zheng Zhilong on the other side. At this time, he was very happy, for no other reason, he counterattacked in his old place, successfully blocked the attack, and let Hauge withdraw his troops, this time he raised his eyebrows, if he hadn't signed a treaty, it is estimated that Zheng Zhilong would not have wanted to leave.

After all, Quanzhou is where he has been operating for many years. There is nothing to give up in other places in Fujian, but he is really reluctant to give up here.

He Yu had already rushed to Quanzhou in person to command the battle. The entire defense and operational map of Quanzhou was set by He Yu himself, and no one knew the terrain and operational deployment here better than him.

Zheng Zhilong, who was in the city, looked at He Yu and asked with a smile, "General He, I don't know if you can tell me why you are in Quanzhou." ”

He Yu glanced at Zheng Zhilong. Pointing to Hauge's camp ahead, "Our purpose is to establish a stronghold here to contain the Manchu army, you know that Dolgon's 300,000 army is already difficult, once the whole of Fujian is attacked by Hauge." It means that they can join forces together, which is too much pressure on the two Guangzhous. ”

The plan He Yu said is the latest plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense to participate in the war, to establish a solid base in Quanzhou, which can not only contain the enemy but also serve as a base for advancement, as long as the Manchus are not stupid, they will send heavy troops to defend this area, and there is no need to be afraid that they will find out that something is wrong, as long as they dare to withdraw their troops, Australia can take advantage of the situation to recover the lost territory, and form an encirclement posture against the Manchu forces that have entered the south of the Yangtze River.

As long as this plan is formed, then the pressure on the two will be reduced to a certain extent, and the same fortifications, Australia has also built in Shaoguan, completely in the form of modern warfare against the 17th century warfare, which is a strategy and an attempt.

After all, the Manchus also had firearms in their hands, but it was impossible to completely compare them with Australian weapons, and there was also a major flaw that their weapons were not very powerful, and the damage caused to Australian soldiers was extremely limited.

He Yu's explanation is finally in the past, after all, this explanation at least proves that the Australians' support for Liangguang is very large.

Zheng Zhilong, who is both envious and jealous, can only watch the city that he has run for many years become Australian-controlled territory.

After the confrontation is formed, Australia will completely take over the city defense of Quanzhou, and the troops mobilized from the country will also enter Quanzhou immediately, along with 500 Blackwater soldiers.

It is completely sufficient for 1,500 men to defend a city, and according to the calculations of the Ministry of National Defense, it is enough to ensure the security of Quanzhou by guaranteeing 1,500 excited troops in Hong Kong and reinforcing them at any time.

The main fortifications of Quanzhou City had been basically completed, and it was almost impossible for the Manchus to attack from the front, and it was even more difficult from the sea.

As for Shen Youlong of Liangguang, he didn't ask much about Australia's capture of Quanzhou, after all, now this place is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and it is impossible for him to think about anything, the most important thing is that the starting point of the Australians is to help themselves, as long as the relationship with the Australians is maintained, the current situation is stabilized, and the lost territory is regained with the help of the Australians, this is a great achievement, and it is not impossible for the Australians to take away a little benefit.

For Shen Youlong, Australians just want a place to trade, as long as this place is given to Australians, there will be nothing wrong, saying that these conditions can also be given by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, why people don't accept it is completely because of blood problems.

Even if there is a dispute over the Quanzhou issue in the future, Shen Youlong thinks that it will be a matter for the future, and now Dolgon's 300,000 troops are going south, which is the most critical, without the defense of the Australian army, it is impossible to rely on the more than 20,000 new troops in Liangguang alone, and the most important thing is to resist Dolgon's attack, so as to establish confidence, let the people of the world see that Liangguang is still persistent, and let more righteous soldiers can be invested in the two vast armies to make a contribution.
