1008 Turning the tide

In formal occasions, especially when a large number of people are watching, it is very impolite to call out the official’s name loudly. There is this kind of priority in China, but in fact, the West also has this kind of politeness.

Westerners should at least call the other party’s title in diplomatic occasions. If they are nobles, they should call the nobles. If they are officials, they should call the official name. If they are senior intellectuals, they should also call them a scholar or a certain family.

Of course, China pays more attention to this kind of etiquette. Everyone also has a character for appearance. The name and number are elegant and polite.

Today, Ulangeli actually called the prime minister's name in front of everyone. Such rude and rude behavior is really intolerable.

Xiao Hexin yelled, "Shut up! The rude barbarian, can you call the name of the prime minister? You Russians do diplomacy like this? Are barbaric and rude yours synonyms? Don't be ashamed but proud..."

Ulangeli looked at Xiao Hexin with a sneer, "Our civilization is for those civilized people, not despicable sneak attackers. You inferior nations are not worthy of accepting the courtesy of noble Russians... The only way to deal with you is war!"

Xiao Hexin turned his head and bowed to the people outside Guangqu Gate and said, "The people of Sijiu City have heard it clearly? This is the Russian envoy. You all hear it clearly..."

The people looked at the quarrel between the big shots in horror. Some looked confused, some were angry, and more were insensitive and had no idea what was going on.

However, the intellectuals and officials in the crowd all looked at Ulangeli indignation, and they all shared the same hatred against the foreign enemies, both Manchu and Han.

"Come on! Every word Ulangeli said was recorded for me. This is the evidence of his insulting the leaders of other countries. Do you want to make a big deal? Well, let the whole world see your face..."

Ulangeli was the military officer of Minister Ignatiev. When he signed the Sino-Russia Beijing Treaty in 1860, he was one of the bystanders. At that time, the cowardly and incompetent Qing officials still remembered the faces of him.

This weak Qing Dynasty had no hard bones at all. The powerful Russia cut off millions of square kilometers of land without a single shot and bullet. They were the biggest winners of that war.

It was from that time that Ulangeli looked down on the Chinese people extremely, and these earthworm-like reptiles had no bone in their bodies.

He didn't care about recording evidence or anything like that. He laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha... the weak are really only talking, oh of course you are better, you actually learned to attack secretly! The great Russian warriors died tragically at your hands, and you maggots in hell will sooner or later be burned to ashes!"

"Where is Xiao Letian, a wild dog hiding in the shadow? Let him come out! The timid wild dog comes out..."

Xiao Hexin was furious, "Ulangeli! Are you crazy? I really can't believe that Russia would send someone like you to do diplomacy. Now you must apologize to me, otherwise I will fight and challenge you!"

"Gladiator? Do you dare to fight me? Hahaha... The cowardly Chinese dare to challenge me? This is the ridiculous joke I have ever heard..."

Before Ulangeli's crazy laughter stopped, a pair of white shadows rushed over and suddenly slapped in the face.

A pair of white gloves flew over, which is a typical European gladiatorial ceremony. If you throw away the gloves, you will be a declaration of war.

Xiao Hexin turned over and dismounted, took out the revolver's rotating bullet bay, and then threw his hand like a cowboy in the west. "Barbarian, I want to safeguard the dignity of the prime minister, dismount and accept the fight. One person must die here today..."

With a bang, the entire Guangqu Gate was sensational. It was really a kind of kindness! If someone dared to pull out guns and fight against the Russians, if someone in the court had half of his courage, he would not be bullied by foreigners like this.

The crowd spread out with a loud bang. Xiao Hexin looked at Ulan Geli contemptuously and knew that this irritable Russian would definitely not be able to bear it. The CIA had already conducted a detailed investigation of the diplomatic envoys in Beijing. Ulan Geli was a military officer and was a guy with a bad temper and passionate fight with people when he was in Moscow. Duels were common for him.

Moreover, Russia is one of the most thorough countries in Europe that retains the duel culture. Other countries such as Britain and France have gradually abandoned this barbaric behavior. However, duels in Russia are still a common drama among nobles, and even the great writer Pushkin died because of the duel.

Ulan Geli jumped off the horse with a grim smile, "You cripple, I will help you if you want to die! Xiao Letian is a turtle that shrank, so it's good to treat you as an appetizer!"

Zhang Jingdu from Zongli Yamen was almost scared and paralyzed. He had some luck in encountering such an errand. He would definitely go to Baiyun Temple to pay a visit tomorrow.

"Don't calm down, calm down, don't hurt the harmony if the bullet doesn't have eyes..." Zhang Jing had already prepared, and the guards of the Zongli Yamen behind him rushed forward to form a thick wall of human beings to block the excited envoys on both sides.

The conflict in Guangqumen soon attracted another group of regulators. The American envoy Hua John and British Minister Ai Liguo, who received the news, all arrived at the scene as neutral regulators.

No matter how the conflict happened, as a diplomat, it is very undesirable to learn to curse the shrew or even shoot out guns to duel, and Ulan Geli gradually calmed down.

"Very good, this is your attitude towards Ryukyu? I will report everything that happened today to the great Tsar. You Chinese are waiting for the Tsar's anger! Xiao Letian will definitely be punished..."

Xiao Hexin sneered and replied, "It's a big deal. Nikolaevich probably doesn't have the courage to commit a war that will stun the nation in the Far East, right? Don't imitate his father and end up being forced to commit suicide by taking poison..."

"Ah!" Ulangeli instantly turned wild, "You dare to insult our great Tsar, I'll kill you!" With a crisp sound, the bullet almost wiped Xiao Hexin's scalp and flew out. The gunshot was like God pressing the pause button, and everything in the world was silent.

"Protect the Lord... Counterattack!" The Ryukyu Marines' soldiers pulled the bolts with a thunderous sound. The gun pointed at Ulangeli and was about to open fire. The guard of the Russian minister opposite quickly pulled Ulangeli off the horse and surrounded him behind the wall.
