I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 103 It's an old tradition for me to deceive the top and the bottom, this time it's a big victory (please subscribe!)

Three days later, a warship returned to Guangdong and Guangxi to pass the bad news to Li Shiyao.

"Fifty thousand troops, just gone?"

"Yes, my lord, those people are too powerful, the Green Camp Marines don't even have the ability to fight back..."

Hearing their narration, Li Shiyao was extremely depressed.

The anger that had been held back for three days broke out.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.

"grown ups!"

"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

After a flurry of treatment, Li Shiyao woke up quietly.

"5 people are gone again?"

Yesterday he just got the news of the destruction of the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy, and also heard that the fifth elder brother was captured by those who claimed to be from the Dragon Kingdom, Li Shiyao suddenly became very upset.

That's fifth elder brother, Lord Qianlong's darling!

Today, he heard the news of the destruction of his navy, and the successive bad news hit him so badly that he almost doubted his life!
Could it be that this day...doesn't it really bless Daqing?
"My lord, this is a letter from those Dragon Kingdom people."

Li Shiyao suddenly pushed away the maid's embrace, pulled open the letter and read it.

[To Li Shiyao, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty...]

【We came here with peace and justice. We have no intention of capturing Wanwan, but according to the calculations of the great celestial master, there will be red dragons in the future, in order to prevent the evil dragon from escaping and wreaking havoc on creatures.We need to lease Bend for 20 years to get rid of the dragon! 】

[We will offer 1000 million taels of silver to compensate for the loss of the Qing Dynasty, and to compensate the fallen soldiers...]

【…War is brutal and merciless, we have no intention of killing.Our side can return captured soldiers, but we need the families of the following soldiers. 】

[In addition, we can also prepare to spend a lot of money to relocate no less than [-] households of good families to Benwan. In addition, we need several trading ports to ensure the operation of our products, and we abide by the taxation of the Qing Dynasty Law, abide by the trading rules formulated by the Qing Dynasty. 】

Li Shiyao was at a loss.

Dragon haunt?

Came here to slay dragons?

To provide pensions for the fallen soldiers, and they still have to send them there in person?
"Exchange the newly captured soldiers for the family members stationed in Wanwan?"

Looking at the long list below, Li Shiyao fell into deep thought!
"My lord..., my lord?"

The chief envoy Guo Huanyu saw Li Shiyao in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "My lord... what should we do?"

Li Shiyao handed the letter to the other party, and then took the tea from the maid.

"Call together officials from Guangdong and Guangxi, let's discuss what to do!"

Most of the officials of the Qing Dynasty in Fujian and Zhejiang were killed by a wave of waves because they were watching the army going out.

Emperor Qianlong's favorite fifth elder brother was arrested again, and Li Shiyao became the supreme commander of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.

There are not many officials from Guangdong and Guangxi stationed in Guangzhou. After a few hours, everyone gathered together.

The inspector Xin Junai gasped when he saw the document sent by the high school team: "These contents are pure nonsense!"

"Lord Qianlong's favorite Fifth Elder Brother was arrested. They are not going to talk about Fifth Elder Brother. Will we agree to their request?"

"My lord, there must be something strange about this matter!"

"According to the prisoner's interrogation, those people from the Dragon Kingdom speak Chinese, but they can control Westerners."

"Yes, if we provide them with population, the future will be full of tigers!"

Giltai, the Guangzhou defense general, was full of resignation: "Master Cheng, but we can't beat them at all!"

"The Qing Dynasty has [-] million people, we just need to reorganize the new army and continue to attack." A salt transportation department said sternly.

"Everyone, we can't beat the Dragon Kingdom people at all!"

"Those people from the Dragon Kingdom forced the Wanwan people to labor. The Wanwan people must be dissatisfied with their rule. As long as we cooperate internally and externally, we will be able to regain the Wanwan!"

"Everyone, let me say one more thing, we really can't beat the people of Dragon Country!"

"Their firearms are too powerful. That kind of fire bomb can fly for several miles, and the infantry group can't take advantage of the array at all."

bang~
Water transportation made Lu Sibo slap the table angrily: "You bastard, why do you always raise other people's ambitions and destroy my Qing's Tianwei?"

"My surname is Lu, don't label me indiscriminately!"

Everyone speaks a word, and I speak a word.

In short, Daqing can't beat the people of Longguo at this moment.

Most officials from Guangdong and Guangxi demanded peace.

The small department said that it is necessary to develop its military strength and continue to fight after learning the firearms of the Dragon Kingdom people.

They even proposed to capture criminals and farmers together and transport them to Wanwan to replace them.

They think it's worth it to exchange the prisoners of the Eight Banners and the elite of the Green Camp with the criminals with their families!

But Li Shiyao felt that this was a bad idea.

How many people does Wanwan have?
As of the 20th year of Qianlong's census, the population under his rule was 50.

If the family members of the captives from the previous military camp were handed over to the people of the Dragon Kingdom, they might join the Dragon Kingdom in a few months.

Although Wanwan hangs overseas alone, don't the people of Longguo covet the rich Qing Dynasty?

If they learn from Emperor Rensheng (Huang Taiji) to plunder the population from the coast and feed back Wanwan.

Will the future of the Qing Dynasty also become like that of the Ming Dynasty?

He shudders when he thinks that in the next ten or 20 years, Long Guo will lead countless people from the Qing Dynasty to attack Wanwan!

"That's enough, stop arguing. Get this matter sorted out and report to the Long Live Lord. This matter will be decided by the Long Live Lord. Let's deal with the military aftermath well!"

Many Qing officials nodded and said yes!

"However, if we fail in this battle, I will not be able to escape the responsibility, so... let's have a good discussion, how to pass the booklet?"

Many officials of the Qing court looked at each other and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the arrangement of the governor!"

Li Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's work together to tide over this difficulty. I will ensure that everyone's official career will be prosperous!"

"Zha~"

Later, Li Shiyao told these people about the details of the two battles.

In short, the Penghu landing battle in Guangdong and Guangxi was all due to the admiral He Shenger's good ideas and rashly attacking Penghu.

By the way, Vulkan will also take it with him.

And the Battle of Fuzhou...

Naturally, it was because of the wise leadership of the fifth elder brother that it led to...

Ah, no, that's God's punishment!

"Prepare casual clothes for me, I'll go see Master Erondo!"

Originally, Fucha Yingge was in charge of the top management of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Erondo is only the second-in-command at the sticky pole in the south.

But he has already disappeared with the fifth elder brother.

Erondo is Fucha Yingge's deputy. Although his surname is not Fucha, it is considered a proper Manchu surname.It can be regarded as Jane in the heart of the emperor.

Li Shiyao and E Longduo had some discussions and joined forces before writing the letter and asking Babaili to rush Qianlong.

Li Shiyao, on the other hand, ran overnight to meet Huang Shijian, the only surviving Fuzhou in Fujian and Zhejiang, and went to discuss with him.

In a private house in Guangzhou, several investigators were amazed when they heard Li Shiyao's contact with Erondo.

Although it is not the first time they have seen this kind of deceitful style, every time they see the operations of Qing officials, it can make people's eyes shine.

Qianlong's proud intelligence officers colluded with local officials and united to deceive the emperor.

If they hadn't heard it with their own eyes, they would really feel that this is nonsense!
However, this matter is not without precedent in the annals of the Qing Dynasty, so everyone just clicked their tongues and continued to monitor the actions of Li Shiyao and others.

The alien intelligence personnel reported their information to the Wanwan base camp.

Ben Nancheng!
Chen Mu looked at the information from Guangzhou and sneered.

After discussing properly with officials from Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Shiyao hooked up with Elongduo at the sticky pole and handed false information to Qianlong!

They said that the number of enemies killed reached [-], and that it was an evenly matched battle.

Said that the enemy's reinforcements came suddenly, and then the army was outnumbered and gone.

By the way, there is also the navy admiral who is greedy and aggressive.

On the other side of Fuzhou, they praised the fifth elder brother for his bravery.

But the sky did not bless the Qing Dynasty, and the abnormal wind and waves wiped out the [-] troops.

In short, implying that the fifth elder brother led the army, it led to the destruction of the army!

Good guy, Li Shiyao and others insisted on evading their guilt, and even fooled themselves by saying that a small victory over the enemy was meritorious in this battle!

Do we really dare not go to Qianlong for a parent-teacher meeting?

Maybe Li Shiyao and others knew such outrageous things must have made Qianlong suspicious.

But they took that official hat too seriously.

In short, this time, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang insisted on packaging themselves as a glorious image of being evenly matched with Longguo.

The destruction of the more than [-] troops was due to the right time and place.

It was defeated by the sudden arrival of reinforcements from the enemy.

"Sister Li, Brother He, do you think we can threaten Li Shiyao in this way?"

"This……?"

Li Ye frowned slightly: "The difficulty is not small, but the feasibility is very high!"

Their negotiating initiative has been gained on the battlefield.

Li Shiyao and the others deceived Qianlong so much, but you should expect them to act according to Li Shiyao's ideas.

"If we arrive in Guangzhou without anyone noticing, and expose Li Shiyao's petty thinking, we will easily do business in Guangdong and Guangxi!"

Deceived and concealed, and repeatedly regarded defeat as a big victory. The officials of the Qing Dynasty had a lot of criminal records in this regard.

For example, in the first Raven War in the [-]th century, the officials of the Qing Dynasty united to fool the emperor.

Not only did they turn the defeat into a big victory, but they also turned millions of taels of war compensation into business arrears!
Sometimes history is more exaggerated than drama!
Although the news of the complete defeat of the Qing Dynasty could not be kept hidden for so long, they still have Qianlong's favorite fifth elder brother in their hands!
I heard that the old boy Qianlong likes the fifth elder brother Yongqi the most!
As long as you grasp this fifth elder brother and let Li Shiyao become their business partner and ally, there is a great success rate.

This is much better than killing Li Shiyao.

"Okay, let's do that, but we need to delay Qianlong's dispatch of imperial envoys here."

"Don't worry, it's best for Li Shiyao and the others to do this!"

Everyone laughed in unison.

After eating up the [-] troops of the Qing court in one fell swoop, the Qing court was unable to organize a larger force to attack in a short time.

They have at least two months to digest the results of the battle.

"By the way, where is that fifth elder brother? He can't die!"

"Don't worry, he has been well-behaved by Li Zhuo these days."
