The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty expressed great satisfaction with the performance of the coalition forces on the battlefield in Liaodong during this period.
Du Du and his allies knew very well that after the fall of Shenyang's outer strongholds, it was only a matter of time before the main city of Shenyang was captured.
But to everyone's surprise, this day came so quickly.
In late March of the second year of Kangxi and Qianlong, the Qing army besieging the city discovered that the strength of the garrison at each gate in Shenyang was decreasing day by day. The Qi army soldiers behind the crenellations looked disheveled and walked as lightly as dead ghosts.
After careful observation, the Hongmao Yi and the Korean rulers all concluded that the food in the city must have been exhausted, otherwise the morale of the Qi army would not be so low. Several people suggested to the Qing emperor that the coalition forces immediately launch a fierce attack and capture Shenyang in one fell swoop.
The long siege by the coalition forces was like a hanging rope inserted into Shenyang, bit by bit into the neck of the deceased. Now that it was time to finally tighten the rope, how could Du Du bear to let the defenders die so easily?
It is best to tighten the rope slowly, and then slowly, so that the emperor can more carefully observe the death reaction of the deceased.
Coupled with the steady flow of food shipped from the south by European allies, Du Du felt that the Qing army's precarious supply line was safe again.
The defenders in the city were killing each other because of hunger. Du Du speculated that if things continued like this, Kang Yingqian and the others would start eating human flesh by April at the latest.
So at the end of March, with Shenyang within easy reach, Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong said to his allies:
"Although the Qi army was defeated, Kang Yingqian would still fight against the trapped beasts, besieging them instead of attacking them, and then attack the city when they were too hungry to walk."
In order to satisfy his perverted desire for revenge, Du Du refused everyone's request to attack Shenyang.
The remnants of the Liu thieves were already the turtles in the urn, and directly conquering Shenyang and killing all the Liu thieves would be too advantageous for his enemies. Du Du was willing to continue to torture his prey.
If the existence of Liu Zhaosun is the lingering nightmare of the Qing emperor, then these Qi army generals who are still alive in Shenyang City are the monsters and monsters in Du Du's nightmare.
Of course, the emperor did this not just for personal grudges.
He has seen the methods used by Liu Zhao and Sun Yixia to convert the barbarians, so now only by completely wiping out Kang Yingqian, Qiao Yiqi, Wang Huazhen and others (from physical to spiritual) can he truly defeat Qi and the backbone of the Han people in Liaodong can be completely broken. Only the Han people can crawl at the feet of the Qing Dynasty and be loyal slaves for life after life.
The emperor needs to let everyone in the world know about this long and cruel execution.
Only in this way can the emperor be truly satisfied.
Representatives of the British, French and Dutch East India Companies warned Du Du more than once to ask the Qing emperor to end the conflict in Liaodong as soon as possible, lead his troops into the customs, and resume the tea, porcelain, and silk trade between China and Europe. They traveled thousands of miles from Bombay, Manila and Jakarta came to Liaodong not just to watch the cannibal show. They are businessmen, and businessmen have to do business.
The Koreans began to ask for food and grass from the Qing army again, although they had already robbed a lot of supplies across the Yalu River and Liaodong this time.
Du Du turned a deaf ear to the advice and urging of these allies and ordered the Eight Banners army to continue the siege but not attack. At the same time, he ordered people to go to Liaodong and asked Airi why he had not transported grain and grass to Shenyang.
The second day of April.
The merchant Ruprecht Colum, the plenipotentiary representative of the British East India Company, went to the Tartar emperor's tent to meet him and urged the emperor to take the exam as soon as possible.
This was the eighteenth time Coren saw Dudu, and of course the last time.
Colen has lived in Macau for two years. Before that, he was engaged in trading in Nagasaki, Japan for fifteen years. His long experience of living in the East has made this English businessman accustomed to thinking in an Eastern way.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, your army is like leaves, stretching as far as the eye can see. Your food supply system is efficient and powerful, which is impressive. If you are in Europe, you must be an emperor like Caesar..."
Emperor Kangqian and Kelun were already old acquaintances. The two had dealt with each other many years ago, and they had deep feelings in private. When the British opened their mouths, Du Du knew what the red-haired barbarian was going to say. It was nothing more than urging the Qing to implement the plan as soon as possible. various treaties signed.
"If you can't wait, you can attack the city first,"
The total reinforcements brought by the Hong Maoyi were only 500 people, and many of them were sent to the Wuzhenha Chao Artillery Brigade as artillery instructors. The rest were missionaries. It was definitely unrealistic to expect these people to attack the city.
Column saw that the flattery trick was not working, so he immediately put on the face of an English businessman and said to the Qing emperor:
"Your Majesty, due to the presence of pirates in the northern waters of China, the East India Company's cargo ships have not returned to Jakarta for a long time. The company needs to pay the sailors about three hundred taels of silver every day. This does not include the payment this time to the artillery instructor who died in the battle. According to our country's law, the country needs to pay one thousand pounds, which is equivalent to about three thousand taels of silver, to the families of each soldier who died in battle, as well as our deceased missionary, the respected Joseph Babbitt... Your Majesty the Emperor, please allow me to propose that the above-mentioned fees be added to the relevant treaty terms reached between the Kingdom of Britain and the Qing Empire as a supplementary agreement. Is it acceptable to Your Majesty?"
"Okay, all your losses this time will be converted into silver, and I will double it for you and pay it all!"
Du Du was extremely disgusted with the carelessness and profit-seeking displayed by Hong Maoyi.
Every time he interacts with these golden-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, he feels like he has returned to his childhood. At that time, he and Lao Khan set out from Hetuala to trade with the tribe's goods in Haixi. For a period of time, they used wolf skins. When exchanging salt, the cunning Haixi merchant also had the same face every time.
"Dear His Majesty the Emperor, your generosity is comparable to that of the greatest monarch in Europe. God bless the Qing Dynasty..."
Colon hasn't finished speaking yet.
Suddenly, the Qing soldiers' exclamations came from outside.
"The Qi army is coming, the Qi army is coming! The mountains and plains are overflowing,"
"The Zhenghongqi camp has been burned! Go and save the master,"
~~~~~~
The East India Company of the Three Kingdoms immediately sent representatives, or to be precise, envoys, to explain their actions in Liaodong to the aggressive Qi army.
Emperor Wu Ding received them in the suburbs of Shenyang. The emperor behaved very generously.
"We sold some artillery pieces to the Qing Dynasty and had no intention of participating in the war with Da Qi, nor did we have any intention of confronting Emperor Wu Ding."
"Dear His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qi, can we declare neutrality?"
"Can't,"
Liu Zhaosun decisively refused.
"You need to pay for your mistakes,
As for what the price was, the emperor said nothing. What happened next was enough to make these Europeans who pride themselves on civilization collapse.
Psychological breakdown.
Looking at the representative sent by the East India Company kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand:
"Send him to the minister's room and castrate him."
The representatives sent by the Three Kingdoms to negotiate peace were dragged down by the suppressing soldiers. Xiaodao Liu set up a small tent next to the big tent, and the red-haired Yi prisoners began to line up for castration surgery.
Although Xiaodao Liu has been in the industry for many years, his main clients are still eunuchs from the former Ming Dynasty, and occasionally eunuchs from Annan, North Korea. Daqi's power will soon expand to foreign lands, and castration of red-haired barbarians also needs to be practiced in advance.
So the neutral European prisoners were castrated. There were a total of twelve envoys from the Three Kingdoms. Seven of them died on the spot, and only five were left alive with physical disabilities.
