After Li He's troops seized the supplies of the French army, they were temporarily out of trouble.
But their marching destination is still a long way away.
At this time, General Li's Long Yan Army fell under his scheme.
Those refugees had obtained cold weapons and attacked the French troops at the port.
Although the refugees captured several French positions that were not important.
However, they were intercepted by the French troops. The refugee army, which had no command and only wanted to plunder, encountered the regular French troops and was quickly defeated.
However, this strategy consolidated Long Yan's army's defense in Sydney City and solved the food crisis in Sydney City.
But the consequence of this is that these refugees no longer trust Xie Fang's government.
A large part of them immigrated here, originally for Australia's free trade and Long Yanjun's leasing, as well as dual citizenship.
For them, Xie Fang's government has no sense of belonging, so they don't have much affection for them.
As for the local residents, their lives were even worse. Xie Fang's government was still a monarchy.
These local residents who are engaged in farming are even more disgusted with Xie Fang's government.
So it doesn't matter if they believe in Xie Fang's government or not.
The key is the Longyan people themselves. Australia is the place they conquered, and there is absolutely no way they will give it to the French army.
This is absolutely impossible.
After Drew learned that the refugees were fighting against them, his nose was almost crooked with anger.
Originally this strategy was used by him to trap the city of Sydney and weaken their power, but now it has turned into these refugees starting to rob their territory.
This forced Drew to send troops to suppress it.
Although he won, it also caused him a lot of losses.
Several small towns inhabited by French people, the industrial areas they had established, were destroyed.
As early as a long time ago, they were planning to attack Australia.
This industrial area can be quickly converted into their logistics supplies.
However, because of the refugees, this industrial area was damaged and it will take some time to repair.
This will cause tension on the front line.
For them, this is not good news.
General Li took this opportunity to quickly build a fortress on the outskirts of Sydney, which is close to the coastline.
It is a vast flat land and there is no danger to defend it.
They needed these fortresses and fortresses to protect the city of Sydney, not only because of the last siege.
General Li must turn the area around Sydney into an agricultural planting area to achieve self-sufficiency to avoid being besieged and attacked by the French army again.
After experiencing this battle, the number of refugees dropped significantly, and the remaining refugees were absorbed into the city by General Li to participate in the construction.
And now that they are relying on such a corroded Dragon Flame Army to fight, they are destined to be swept away by the French army. They must build a force that is not corroded and can still fight.
In the past, the expansion of the Longyan Army was dispatched from Longyan, but now the Australian Longyan Army is independent.
Long Yan will never allow a military leasing policy to exist.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Xie Fang's team is now self-sufficient and can only recruit troops among the Longyan people who have immigrated to Australia.
But in the current situation, if we only recruit soldiers from among the Longyan people.
Most of the Longyan people who immigrated to Australia came to Australia because they couldn't survive in Longyan.
But there are very few such people, and the system has not been reformed.
Therefore, the current Longyan Army is still dominated by the veterans from before, and there has been no new blood added for a long time.
If in normal times, this kind of thing would be slowed down for a while, that would be fine.
But not now.
Now is a special period, and the troops must be replenished. General Li issued an order to expand the troops without consulting Xie Fang.
He also allowed indigenous people and immigrants from Australia to join the Longyan Army, and he also restructured the army.
The Longyan Army in Australia officially changed its name to the Longao United Army.
The government established by Xie Fang was originally a monarchy system, so such an order should be approved by Xie Fang.
But this time, General Li convened all the officials in Sydney City and held a meeting to vote on the plan to confirm it, and it was finally passed.
Many immigrants and indigenous people in Sydney chose to join the army at this time.
This is not because they have any sense of belonging to Australia.
What a hatred for the French team.
The reason why they chose to join the army was purely because the food allocated to the army was a little more than that of ordinary people.
They don't want to suffer the hunger of that bite, so they choose to join the army.
But the news soon reached Xie Fang's ears.
"Nonsense!"
"How dare he change the army's system without my permission!"
"You even expand your troops privately!"
"He wants to implicate the nine clans!"
"Immediately issue an edict and ask Li Des to come see me immediately!"
Xie Fang's furious voice echoed throughout the hall, but no one moved. His imperial majesty was like a joke at this moment.
He looked at his Prime Minister and asked coldly: "You have known about this for a long time."
The Prime Minister came out, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, General Li has informed me a long time ago that although this approach is against the rules, it is not inappropriate!"
"Your Majesty, this is an extraordinary time and we should do something extraordinary!"
Xie Fang was stunned, looking at his Prime Minister and the ministers: "Do you want to rebel?"
Everyone knelt down and pressed, "I beg your majesty for your permission!"
Seeing that these ministers who used to be against each other are now working together to deal with him.
Xie Fang sat on the throne and gritted his teeth: "Are you crazy? Li De humiliated the court and regarded the system as nothing. You actually came with him to force me."
He put his hand on the sword at his waist and let out a cry. Xie Fang pulled out the sword, pointed it at these ministers and shouted: "I really don't dare to kill you!"
The courtiers stood still, stared at Xie Fang and said, "I beg your majesty for your permission!"
The emperor, who has no army and no ability to govern, cannot even suppress these ministers.
When Xie Fang established the Australian City Government, he relied on Long Yan's funding.
But whatever Xie Fang does now, no matter what it is, he is just coveting his own desires.
He didn't care about Australia's development at all.
This time when the French army invaded Australia, General Li He gave Xie Fang early warning, but the other party did not listen to anything and believed Drew, the Frenchman.
Only now did he cause such trouble.
After the war broke out, Xie Fang was only focused on his own escape and ignored Australia's most valuable and core scientists and engineers.
This allowed France to intercept many Long Yan scientists and engineers. These were the most precious resources that Long Yan had aided them in the past.
But now, Xie Fang didn't ask any questions. These people with lofty ideals who followed Xie Fang have now seen Xie Fang's face clearly, and they no longer want to follow Xie Fang and continue to work.
Australia must be allowed to usher in real development.
