For Major General Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, this time not only did he have no fault, but he had merit. At least, that's what Emperor Long Yufei saw. He also believes that the vast majority of the people in the empire will understand Major General Chen Wenjie. After all, if the order had not been given at that time, it would have been possible for the Russian army to break through Shengjing City, which would have caused a crushing defeat for the Empire* army. The two or three thousand ordinary people, although they died tragically, they couldn't complain about Major General Chen Wenjie. Now that the Russians have captured them, they will definitely end up dead. There is no need to hitchhike more people for the sake of these doomed ones. Long Yufei had already decided that after the war was over, he would let Major General Chen Wenjie go to the National Defense University for further study to avoid the eyes of the people, and after the end of the study, he would be awarded a higher position. After all, Chen Wenjie, who was born as a pirate on Flying Fish Island, has a big gap with others in terms of cultural achievements. If he didn't improve, being a military commander would be the end of his life. On the contrary, this incident brought him into Long Yufei's sight, and his future will go further.

The next day, the "Imperial Daily" and other major media reported on the atrocities of the Russian army in Shengjing. The act of driving innocent people to attack the city is simply despicable and miserable. When the people of the empire saw the news in the newspapers, they staged protests one after another, demanding that the empire take revenge on Russia and avenge the death of their compatriots. Because the empire is currently at war with Russia, the Russian embassy in China has been closed, and the Russians in China have left. For a while, the people of the empire could not find anyone to vent their anger. Some bearded foreigners. He was treated as a Russian, thrown a rotten tomato, and even beaten up. It caused many countries to protest against the empire. For these foreigners, they have also suffered unjustified disasters. Because of this incident, many foreigners have reduced their outings so as not to cause misunderstandings. Of course, this is also because the empire is strong, so that the Western powers dare not offend. Otherwise, these minor problems are very likely to turn into major events for the West against China.

Some people with ulterior motives. In particular, the corrupt Confucians, who were still loyal to the Manchus, also jumped out of the situation, accusing the Empire* army of disregarding human life. It should be punished severely! By extension, it is to criticize the foreign policy of the empire, declaring that the belligerent will die. What is it that China will embark on the road to national demise under the leadership of Long Yufei and so on. Such remarks have been strongly opposed by other people. Some rotten people have even become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them. In particular, those young students broke out several times to beat these corrupt people.

Other than that. The security services of the empire also took the opportunity to intervene. To those who are dissatisfied with the Empire. At the same time, the Manchu people with their hearts were charged with threatening national security and thrown them all into prison. Since they still have a memory of the Manchu Qing until now, let's go to the prison to remember the Manchu Qing! Anyway, now the Manchu Qing has also reached the last moment, and it will soon be destroyed.

The enthusiasm of the people of the empire was once again aroused. For this barbaric behavior of the Russian army, the people of the empire expressed great indignation. Governments at all levels received pleas from the populace for retaliation against Russia. Avenge the people who died.

At this time, the speech of the Emperor Long Yufei was published in the "Imperial Daily". Long Yufei demanded that the Russian government and Tsar Nicholas I of Russia apologize to the Chinese Empire for this incident and compensate the Chinese Empire for its losses. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire will retaliate against Russia!

Long Yufei's statement has received strong support from the people. Although there are also some people who believe that harmony should be valued and morality should be repaid. However, this voice was drowned out by the voices of the people in retaliation against Russia, barely making any waves.

Similarly, the behavior of the Russian army has caused a sensation in the world. The Western world, in particular, attaches more importance to human rights. Although they have committed even more severe crimes against black Africans in the history of brutal exploitation and repression of colonial countries, they have now put on the cloak of civilization. Therefore, almost all of them condemned the Russian army's behavior of coercing civilians to attack the city. But, again, some countries have raised doubts. For example, Russia's ally in Europe, the Austrian Empire, which they believe is a forgery of the Chinese Empire. How can Russia, which is also a civilized country, do such a thing?

The Kingdom of France and Spain, the allies of the Chinese Empire in Europe, and the Kingdom of Prussia, a new ally, stood out against it. To think that Russia should apologize for this matter is nothing short of barbaric. However, these are just a war of words. The countries are just talking about it, and they will not take any substantive action to support the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire wants to fight back against Russia, it still has to rely on its own strength.

In addition, the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei claimed that if the Russian government and Tsar Nicholas I did not apologize, the Chinese Empire would retaliate. Some countries, led by the British, called on the Chinese Empire to be calm, and they sternly condemned this act of targeting civilians. At the same time, a joint investigation team was formed to investigate the matter.

Long Yufei didn't care about the British mention at all. These European countries, to put it bluntly, all wear a pair of pants. They simply look down on the Chinese Empire, let alone stand on the side of the Chinese Empire. Even if an investigation were to be conducted, the final result would certainly be biased in favor of Russia. When the time comes, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, those ordinary people have already died, and they have all been buried after the battle, how can this be investigated? In the end, it will definitely be over. This is already a common trick of these Western countries.

Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, specially summoned the Russian representative in China and lodged a stern protest to Russia on this matter. The representative of the Chinese Empire in Russia also urgently met with the Russian Foreign Minister, Count Nesher Rodie, to protest the matter to Russia and put forward a series of demands from the Chinese Government. Of course, these were brutally rejected by the Russians.

Tsar Nicholas I was also very angry about what the Russian army did in Shengjing.

"What the hell is Muravyov doing? Not only did it suffer heavy losses under Shengjing City, but something like this happened! Tsar Nicholas I roared angrily. He gave the order to Muravyov to pacify the capital and avenge the dead Cossack cavalry. However, the Russian army's attack was so unsmooth, and some regular tactics were adopted, not only did not succeed, but they were also leaked out. It's a shame for Russia in front of the whole world!

"Father, did Governor Muravyov really coerce those Chinese civilians? Could this be a conspiracy of the Chinese, who want to discredit the Russian Empire in front of the whole world! Crown Prince Alexander said.

Tsar Nicholas I glanced at Crown Prince Alexander and did not say anything more. None of you are stupid, they will be able to distinguish between right and wrong. However, in any case, Russia will never admit to doing such a thing!

"Yes, Your Majesty! Chen also believes that this matter is a conspiracy of the Chinese from beginning to end! They are here to strike at the reputation of the Russian Empire, and we must not be fooled! Russian Foreign Minister Count Nechel Rody also said.

"Humph! I can ignore all of that. What I want to know is, when will Muravyov be able to conquer Shengjing? Tsar Nicholas I asked. As for what the Russian army did in Shengjing City, as long as they did not admit it, the Chinese Empire had no choice. However, the delay of the Russian army in conquering Shengjing City made him very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Governor Muravyov is trying to figure out a way. However, the Chinese Empire's defenses in Shengjing City were too strong. In addition, they have many advanced weapons for defending cities that the Empire* army is not equipped with. In order to conquer Shengjing City, our army has already paid a lot of losses. "said the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Duke Gorchakov.

"Bastard! Sue Sù Muravyov, if he is not able to conquer Shengcheng, and if he can conquer Shengjing with minimal losses, his post as governor of the Far East will come to an end! Tsar Nicholas I said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Gorchakov nodded.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the arrogant remarks of the Chinese emperor?" Foreign Secretary Count Niechel Rody asked.

"Warn the emperor who doesn't know the height of the sky! If he dared to attack the Russian civilians, the army of the great Russian Empire would have slaughtered all the yellow-skinned monkeys! Tsar Nicholas I said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Niechel Rodie.

The Russian government and Tsar Nicholas I not only refused to apologize, but also issued stern threats to kill all Chinese, which caused an uproar around the world. The Chinese Empire did not flinch from this, and also made a-for-tat counterattack. Emperor Long Yufei said that the army of the empire would avenge the innocent people who had died, and then retaliate against Russia. He wants to see if in the end all the Russians will die, or all the Chinese will die!

The rest of the world thinks that the Chinese Empire and Russia are crazy, is this going to fight a war of annihilation? These are two behemoths! Russia has a population of more than 60 million, while China has a population of nearly 400 million. No matter which country wants to completely destroy another country, it is not so easy! Of course, the longer the Chinese Empire fought with Russia, the better it would be for them! (To be continued......)
