Australia's dispatch of 10 warships to Hong Kong was not intended for war, but to provide a safe haven for the people of Yangzhou at a critical moment, as long as they could escape to the dock, they could get shelter from the Australians.

At present, the army is not ready for war, and the newly recruited soldiers are also being trained and sharpened, so it can be said that they are not suitable for the battlefield at all, and the veterans have many garrison tasks, and the number is small, and once the troops are emptied, it will also be a big trouble for the security of the mainland and several overseas territories.

At this time, it is the most unwise to join the war, Australia also wants to follow the hands of Houjin to eliminate the Zheng family in Fujian and other forces in the south, and finally only keep Shen Youlong of Liangguang to carry out, just one puppet, too much will fall into constant trouble, not to mention that other forces will not willingly obey Australia's arrangement.

Shen Youlong and the Australians can be said to be completely grasshoppers on a rope, there is no room for maneuver, just the unequal treaties signed with Australia are enough for him to eat a pot, not to mention that he is still grateful to Australia in his heart, as far as the current situation is concerned, Daming wants to make a comeback, and it is not possible to rely on external forces.

The number of refugees is huge, Houjin's army is like a bamboo, Li Zicheng's remnants are going south, and there is also a Zhang Xianzhong who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight in Bashu, this guy is ready to pick peaches at any time, as long as all parties fight to the death, this guy will definitely send troops to make up for it without mercy, which is his strength.

At present, three of Hong Kong's warships have formed a formation and sailed to Jiading, which is one of Australia's key defense areas, and the rest of the warships will also sail to Yangzhou in the next few days to stand by.

As the pioneer of the southward movement, Azig could not have been unfazed, and the dispatch of the Australian warships hindered the superiority of the Houjin naval division troops from both sides to a certain extent, and the prestige of the Australian warships was famous in the East China Sea.

Just the black muzzle on the hull of the ship makes people shudder, and most of the sailors in Houjin are officers and soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. They had heard of the naval battles between the Australians and the Zheng family.

With just one warship, a fleet of the Zheng family was suppressed with all its might, and this kind of combat power can be compared to itself.

If you don't want to die, you should walk around the sea a few more times, but don't touch this brow, this Australian is not easy to mess with.

Azig, who was originally besieging Xuzhou, also fell into thinking at this time, it is difficult to say whether the Australians will suddenly send troops to help Nanming, it is rumored that these people can help each other do anything as long as they have enough interests.

Azig didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to send someone to send the news to the capital to be decided by Dolgon, to say that there is also a certain relationship between Houjin and Australia, after all, the Australians' artillery was sold to Houjin, just from the above. The Aussies should not clash with Houjin.

Of course, this is judged from conventional analysis, if it is unconventional, Australians may help Nanming for money.

Dolgon, who received the letter, attached great importance to this issue, it can be said that it was not an ordinary attention, how powerful the Australians were was was predictable, and the artillery equipped by his troops was provided by the Australians, and the power was much greater.

Dorgon wrote back to Azig, telling him to be cautious and not to get into conflict with Australia. Look at what they want to do, and according to his analysis, the fact that the Australians did not land shows that they are not here to grab territory.

Although the Australians are as brave as the Eight Banners, after all, the number is too small, and they are relatively far away from the Ming Dynasty. There will be no unfavorable conditions to grab the land.

To be on the safe side, Azig was still ready to send someone to talk to the Australians, after all, the two sides had cooperated, and Houjin needed the artillery provided by Australia to fight.

The person in charge of this rescue operation was Rear Admiral Sun Yang. He was in charge of all matters of the formation, and although the warship sailed into the Yangzhou River, the soldiers were not only active on the shore. No other arrangements were made, not even camped.

Sun Yang's consideration is to maximize the conflict with the Houjin soldiers, and once the two sides clash, it means that Australia will enter the war in advance.

Reason told him that he couldn't garrison the army, otherwise there would be a conflict, and there were many immigrants from the Ming Dynasty among the soldiers, once they saw the slaughter scene of the Houjin soldiers, they could bear it, I was afraid they couldn't stand it.

Xuzhou was besieged, surrender is a matter of time, so Yangzhou can not hold out for long, if you want to avoid the tragedy is now let everyone retreat like the south, under the persuasion in the early stage, a considerable number of people in the city have taken Zhao De and Zheng Cai's ship to Guangzhou or immigrated to Malacca.

Now the people who have not left are basically some people who are reluctant to their homeland, they think that the imperial court cannot just ignore them, in fact, several regimes in the south really have no intention of making a move, Azig has an army of 200,000, and any one side will hurt their vitality.

King Lu has not planned to make a move recently, let alone Zheng Zhilong, who is still separated by a province, so the Australians don't have much to say, after all, the Australians are much better than themselves.

Azig sent someone to the dock to meet him, and it was a living person, but he looked like a scholar from the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Yang invited the other party to sit down.

The visitor first brought Azig's greetings to Australia, thanking him for providing such high-quality artillery, and then asked why the Australians were suddenly in Yangzhou and Jiading.

Sun Yang did not hide the other party, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and people need to be open, so at present, the war here in the Ming Dynasty is the most suitable for recruiting people to open up the wasteland, so send ships to transport.

After all, there are only more than 100 soldiers from the Australian Navy who come with the ship, and if you really fight against tens of thousands of people, it is useless to use your ship and artillery.

Dispelling the speculation in Azig's heart reduced the conflict between the two sides, which the Ministry of Defense has repeatedly explained, in the rescue operation, we must pay attention not to conflict with Houjin, once there is a conflict, Sun Yang will be sent to a military court.

Don't look at Sun Yang is already a major general, but if he violates military law and is still tried, he will not show mercy at all.

The internal regulations of the army are always more stringent, and this is the same regardless of whether it is a crossing or an ordinary immigrant, and there is no special treatment here, only military regulations.

Therefore, Sun Yang must ensure that his subordinates do not clash with Azig, otherwise he will not only be dismissed but also sent to a military court, and now that the other party knows what he means, everything is easy to say. (To be continued.) )
