As Sheffield thought, George III did have some opinions about William, but this opinion did not affect the relationship between England and Prussia, and not only that, when George III learned that Prussia had destroyed Denmark, the dinner that day was more delicious than usual.
The reason for this was that Prussia destroyed Denmark, and the queen of Danish King Christian VII was George III's sister Caroline.
Princess Matilda, the princess's final fate was extremely tragic, she was killed by Christian VII's stepmother, Mary.
Juliana was exiled to Celle for adultery and died of scarlet fever at the age of 23.
Although Caroline was thirteen years younger than George III, as the youngest of the siblings, George III was still quite fond of the youngest sister, and when Caroline was exiled, George III once proposed to Denmark to take Caroline back to England, but this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Juliana.
Caroline's death after only two years of imprisonment in Celle makes one wonder if the Danes were secretly working on it, so it can be said that George III hated Denmark quite a lot.
And if we look at blood alone, the royal families of all over Europe have married each other, but the pace of annexation between countries has not stopped.
Just when Sheffield sent people to Hanover to ask for help, the Prussian 1st Division led by Dafilia had already arrived in Hamburg, and after entering the Hamburg border, the Prussian army was not hindered in any way, and the Hamburgers Dafilia saw along the way were obediently cooperating with the Prussian army's actions.
On 20 March 1789, the Prussian army arrived under the city of Hamburg.
At this moment Sheffield had not yet received an answer from Hanover, facing the surging Prussian army.
Sheffield chose to fight to the end.
Sheffield ordered a large-scale conscription of troops in Hamburg, and all young adults of school age were forcibly recruited into the army by the Hamburg City Defense Army, but in this way, Sheffield's influence in Hamburg has further declined, and many Hamburgers have a disgusted expression on their faces when they mention Sheffield.
On 22 March, the 5th Division, which had sailed from the province of Southern Denmark, also arrived at the city of Hamburg, where nearly 20,000 men of the two main Prussian divisions were now gathered.
The next day.
Under the command of Dafilia, the Prussian army of 20,000 launched the first attack on Hamburg, and this attack showed the Hamburgers what it means to be professional, and the Hamburg city defense was not a joint enemy of the Prussian army, let alone the citizens of Hamburg who were forcibly requisitioned.
But surprisingly, Dafilia ordered a retreat when the battle was almost one-sided, when Dafilia saw Clauentz running over in a rage.
Immediately spoke: "Isn't this Clauenz, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go, take a drink!"
Krautz slapped away Dafilia's hand on his shoulder, and said coldly: "What do you mean, Duffia, seeing that we can take the burger with just a little bit of effort.
It's good that you still ordered a retreat, I think you're an old fool!
” Faced with Kraunz's accusation, Dafilia touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and said: "I said Clauenz, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you can say me when we meet.
That's unkind."
"Don't get close to me, if you don't tell me a reason today.
Believe it or not, I'll sue you to the military department at once!
” Looking at Dafilia's friendly attitude, Krautz was very dissatisfied, indeed, seeing that Hamburg could fight down, but Dafilia let the troops be withdrawn, which would have to be put in anyone's hands.
However, when it comes to the friendship between Dafilia and Krauntz, it is also a friendship of decades, when the two of them advanced to the head of the regiment at the same time, but Dafilia was five years older than Krauntz, and then Kraunz stood still for many years, but Dafilia was all the way up.
When Prussia reorganized the twelve standing divisions, Dafilia actually became the commander of the first division, although the ranking of each division did not have any special status, but as the saying goes, there is no first, no second, why can you Dafilia be the commander of the first division, which made Kraunz have a secret idea of competition in his heart.
"Okay, brother, you don't want to go down in a fight, it's not because there are a lot of recruits deployed in the army, although as long as we work hard, we can really fight Hamburg, but these recruits also have to be trained, no, I don't want these recruits to train more!"
"Dafilia, don't tell me about your crooked thoughts, I tell you, the capture of Hamburg is an order of His Majesty the King, if you mess around like this again, I will definitely fight the lawsuit to Sanssouci Palace, forget it today, if it is still like this tomorrow, I can't spare you!"
Saying that, Clauenc snorted and ignored Dafilia and left, and Dafilia, who stayed where he was, had to look at Krauntz's back and smile bitterly.
In fact, there was another reason for Dafilia's order to retreat, after the Prussian army entered the border of Hamburg, Sheffield sent a box of gold to Philia's military tent, and Sheffield's request was simple, that is, to allow Dafilia to delay the attack for a few days.
And Dafilia is five years older than Kraunz, and today he is fifty-four years old, although after the surprise attack on Brandenburg, William only briefly verbally punished Dafilia and Zardol, but this also touched Dafilia's heart.
Seeing that there were no days left to continue to go up, Dafilia thought that he could retire with peace of mind as soon as possible, and now Sheffield's gift of money just made Dafilia's heart move.
It's just that the reason for this is not for outsiders, but who knew that the defenders of Hamburg were so dish-oriented, and the Prussian army only launched two charges to capture two gaps from the Hamburgers, and if this continued, the Hamburgers would not be able to hold out for even a day.
That's why Dafilia ordered a retreat.
But now that Kraunz had raised doubts, if such a situation had arisen again, Dafilia was sure that Krauntz's heartless eye would have sued him as he had said.
Dafilia sighed and walked back into the tent.
Sheffield, who was sitting in the mansion, was secretly relieved to learn that the Prussians had ended the battle in a hurry, and that the box of gold he had come to was indeed not in vain.
Naturally, he wanted to stall for time, and Sheffield was sure that Hannover would not refuse his request.
Of course, Hanover will not ask for it, but this matter is not something that a few left-behind nobles in Hanover can decide, you must know that the other party is the Kingdom of Prussia, so after receiving the news, Hanover immediately sent someone to send the news to London in the hope of asking George III to make a decision as soon as possible.
But it is estimated that there will be half a month at the earliest, and the time that Sheffield hopes to get is exactly this half a month.
But to Sheffield's surprise, the Prussian army outside the city was only on the first day, and the ensuing battle was not adulterated at all, which made the city defense of Hamburg almost crumbling as if it had been swept by a storm.
Sheffield scolded the Prussians for not keeping their promises, and at the same time took out all the family property to reward the city defense army of Hamburg, the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, under the stimulation of gold, the city defense army of Hamburg actually exerted 200% of its strength, and the Prussian army You back and forth is very easy to fight.
But in just two days, the increasing number of corpses of the city guards calmed the hot-headed soldiers who had been stimulated by the gold coins again, and some of the officers and soldiers understood that if this unfavorable situation did not change, their gang would have to be buried with Sheffield.
In the early hours of March 29, 1789, Sheffield was awakened by the sudden sound of shouts of killing, and he put on his shirt and lifted the curtains.
Seeing that a group of soldiers were besieging Sheffield's mansion, and it seemed that Sheffield's guards were about to hold out, Sheffield didn't think much about it, he immediately grabbed a few gems on the table in the room, and then rushed out.

Seeing Sheffield's arrival, the guards in the mansion seemed to have a backbone "Protect me and rush out now" Sheffield gave an order, then jumped on a horse and rushed to the door of the mansion, but at that moment a gunshot rang out, and Sheffield was shot in the chest.
On March 29, 1789, the white flag began to be hoisted over the walls of Hamburg, and Hamburg surrendered!
After entering the city, Dafilia immediately arranged for soldiers to go to various points in the city to take over the city defenses, and at the same time, Dafilia personally led people to Dafilia's mansion to search for incriminating evidence.
After the capture of Hamburg, Kraunz led the Fifth Division back from southern Denmark.
At this time, Locks and the two dukes of Schleswig and Holstein also negotiated terms, and the two dukes were willing to exchange their fiefs with Prussia, but the two had a request, that is, Prussia needed to guarantee that they would not interfere with their rule of Hamburg, and Locks naturally agreed to this request.
The regions of Hamburg and Bergdorf were exchanged for the Duke of Schleswig, while the regions of Mitte, Atona and Norder were exchanged for the Duke of Holstein.
Although the size of the fief has decreased, the new fief is more prosperous than that of Schleswig and Holstein, so the two dukes are naturally happy to exchange.
On April 21, 1789, the Prussian army in Hamburg formally handed over to the Duke of Schleswig, after which Dafilia led the 1st Division back to Prussia.
