Later histories have speculated about Li Jinghuai's purpose in slaughtering Lingzhou, with some believing that he was trying to deter the party, while others believe that he was simply implementing the old Chinese army's rule of killing foreigners—although this old rule of choosing five kills and killing one has rarely been used since the demise of the Jurchen and Pseudo-Jin regimes.

Of course, this is not the point, after all, if you want to say that there are many killings, Feng Sanhu killed more in Fusang during the same period, but the purpose of killing people on his side is very clear, just to deter and suppress the Fusang people, unlike Li Jinghuai, who selectively eliminated party members.

In other words, Feng Sanhu's style in Fusang is more like that of a feudal army.

And Li Jinghuai has some meaning of extinction.

No matter what his original purpose was, anyway, Li Jinghuai Tu Lingzhou did indeed have a scaring effect.

In all the areas around Xingling that had not yet been occupied by the Chinese army, the people of the Dangxiang began to abandon their homes and businesses, and those who supported the old and the young fled further north, and the icy Hetao area was full of Dangxiang people who did not dare to stay at home, and the harsh winter and scarce food made this road of death full of all kinds of tragic stories.

Most of the refugees felt that Lingzhou could not be defended, and neither could Xingqing Mansion, but some still went to Xingqing Mansion to seek refuge with the last glimmer of hope for the Great White High Kingdom.

However, Emperor Dade Li Qianshun ordered Xingqing Mansion to close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter.

The cry of the refugees under the city of Xingqing Mansion shook the sky, and the privy envoy couldn't stand it, so he attacked and asked the emperor to open the city gate to help the refugees.

However, he failed to come out of the palace, and after losing the aid of the two great clans of Renduo and Ye Xiao, a single non-collector could no longer obtain an equal status with the famous family.

So Li Qianshun decided to take this opportunity to cut off these disobedient clans in the country.

The families and property of more than a dozen large and small tribes, including Wuzang, Renduo, and Ye Xiao, were all confiscated by the soldiers of the Wei Ming family, and the men in the family were then all killed, and the women were assigned to the soldiers of the Wei Ming family as slaves.

In this internal purge, the direct death toll exceeded 7,000, at least 20,000 were demoted to slavery, and the defense strength of Xingqing Province was further reduced.

However, after tasting the sweetness, at least the soldiers of the Wei Famous Family do have the consciousness of living and dying with the Great White Gaoguo (in fact, the Wei Famous Family has no other way out).

On March 20, Li Qianshun again sent an envoy to ask the Chinese army for peace talks.

This time, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom brought 1,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, and thirty young beauties with the surnames of Wuzang, Renduo and Ye Xiao.

At the same time, they brought Li Qianshun's new negotiation conditions: Xia was willing to go to the emperor and pay tribute to Huaxia, and the king of Xia called himself a son, respected the Huaxia emperor as his father, and at the same time ceded the territory of ten of the twenty-two states of Xia State, and donated 30,000 horses and camels to China every year as annual coins.

Li Qianshun's only request was to hope that the Chinese army would withdraw and make Xia a vassal of China.

This time, Li Jinghuai did not kill the envoy, but sent all the members of the envoy group, as well as the beauties, gold and silver, and the letter they brought, back to the country, asking His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a holy judgment.

After all, the party members put their posture very low, and the conditions seem to be very good.

Of course, until the new order came from the country, the preparations for the attack on Xingqing Mansion could not be relaxed, and Li Jinghuai planned to take advantage of this time to reserve more artillery shells and supplies for the front line - although judging from the Lingzhou Campaign, most of the supplies were actually unnecessary.

At the end of March, the Chinese army began to clear the outer defenses of Xingqing Province.

On March 29, the Chinese army conquered Shunzhou, on the 5th of April to conquer Jingzhou, on the 8th of the first month of Yongzhou, and on April 11 occupied Huaizhou.

By April 20, the Chinese army had completed the encirclement of Xingqing Province, and Li Jinghuai set up two large battalions in the north and south of Xingzhou, each with 30,000 troops and more than 150 cannons.

At the end of April, Li Qianshun received a new bad news like a thunderbolt from the sky: troops on the northern grassland had finally entered the Xia Kingdom, but it was not the Mengwu reinforcements he had been thinking about for a long time, but the troops led by Qi Nian, the king of horse thieves in China.

This contingent of thousands of cavalry crossed the Yellow River on March 27 and attacked the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division of the Xia Kingdom.

The disheartened Xia army did not put up a resolute resistance, and the city of Wulahai fell into the hands of Wang Qinian, and then the thief commander ran south along the Yellow River for hundreds of miles, and occupied Keyimen on the first day of April.

Now, there are only two cities left in the entire Great White High Kingdom: Xingqing Mansion and Dingzhou.

And Li Qianshun's attempt to delay time through negotiations has become a futile exercise - even the most stupid person can understand that the foreign intervention force that Li Qianshun is hoping for will not come.

Now, the only possibility for the Great White High Kingdom to survive is for the Huaxia side to accept Li Qianshun's surrender.

Emperor Dade, who is already 56 years old this year, seems to have aged ten years overnight, and he is a few years older than the republican emperor Xu Muhe, but if Huaxia accepts the peace talks, Li Qianshun will have to be commensurate with Xu Muhe.

Li Qianshun did not want to accept this shame.

On April 30, 1793, Li Qianshun held a ceremony in Xingqing Mansion, which was surrounded by many people, and transferred the throne to the crown prince Li Renqing, with the year name Daqing.

However, Xia Guo will not live to the first year of Daqing.

On the 2nd day of May, Huaxia sent Li Jinghuai an attitude towards negotiations - refusing to negotiate peace, and the pseudo-Xia must perish.

Li Jinghuai immediately launched an attack on Xingqing Mansion.

On the 3rd of May, the Xia army launched a tentative counterattack against the Chinese army's Chengbei camp, but was then repulsed by the Chinese army.

In the afternoon, the Chinese artillery began to bombard the city wall step by step, and an hour and a half later, the two city gates in the north and south of Xingqing Mansion were blown down.

However, this time, the party members did a rare thing to fight for - they did not deploy a large number of fresh troops on the city wall, only prepared a small number of soldiers and horses to confuse the Chinese army, and let the Chinese army destroy the basically unguarded city wall - they could not hold it anyway.

After the Chinese army entered the city, the party troops deployed in the city took advantage of the opportunity of the artillery ceasefire to quickly move closer to the city wall, and as a result, the two sides directly encountered each other at a distance of less than 50 meters.

The Chinese army opened fire at close range to knock down the party members who rushed to the front, but they also lost the opportunity to reload the second bullet, so the two armies entered a brutal white-knuckle battle.

The Dang Xiang people who insisted on being sharp once took the initiative by virtue of their superiority in strength, and the Chinese army that had just entered the city through the gap in the city wall was driven out by the Dang Xiang people.

But back in the open, the Chinese regained the upper hand, and the musketeers fired into rows of gaps in the wall, bullets knocking down the crowded party soldiers, and the counterattack was easily stopped.

Li Jinghuai originally wanted to suspend the offensive and send the Waibo soldiers in the rear to be responsible for the battle for the gap in the city wall, but the situation on the front line changed rapidly, and before he could wait for his order, the Chinese soldiers consciously launched a second round of attack.

This time, the Chinese soldiers who rushed into the city first threw grenades at the partymen who were rushing from three sides, supplemented by a volley of muskets.

In the melee, the party members thought that the Chinese army had transferred artillery, so they gave up the battle for the gap in the city wall and retreated to the second line of defense in the city.
