1009 Public anger outside Guangqu Gate

If Ulangeli's anger was just his nature, the anger behind it was because Xiao Hexin poked the old scars of the entire Russia.

The Crimean War was Russia's biggest failure in the 19th century. Britain, France and China joined forces to block Russia's power in the Black Sea and forced a tsar to death. This was a great humiliation in the eyes of the Russians.

This topic is a taboo in Europe. You can't mention it in front of the Russians. The Crimean War has ended for thirteen years now, but the wounds left on the Russians' hearts have not healed. Xiao Hexin directly touched the scar and even called the Tsar's name. Ulangeli went crazy at that time.

He definitely fired that shot subconsciously, which is because they were just talking in Chinese. If they were using Russian, the Russian soldiers around him understood this conversation, I am afraid that the shot would be an order to attack.

Xiao Hexin shouted loudly, "Did all the old and young men in Beijing hear it? The two adults, the American minister and the British minister, also heard it clearly?"

"Wulan Geli first called Prime Minister Xiao's name and insulted endlessly. In order to safeguard the prime minister's dignity, I made a request for a duel... But this coward dared not fight directly, but fired a cold gun behind his back!"

"Is this the diplomatic literacy of Russian envoys? Are you allowed to name a name and insult our prime minister, but you do not allow us to make any rebuttals? If I refute, I will fire a cold gun! I reserve the right to prosecute all nations..."

The crowd was in an uproar. At this time, even Britain and the United States could not stand up. In fact, Britain and the United States had never been inclined to Russia. They felt secretly happy when they could see the Russians being defeated.

As the oldest diplomat, Hua Ruohan coughed and said, "Two diplomats, please have a little professionalism, okay? If you want to quarrel, the Zongli Yamen will naturally provide a room. Please use civilized methods to solve the problem!"

The British ambassador also smiled, "Yes, Britain does not want any deterioration in the Far East, nor does it want to see new conflicts and wars happen. Whether in the duel arena or at the negotiating table, we are willing to help adjust. Please believe in our sincerity..."

The words of neither Yin nor Yang made Ulan Geli even more angry. He knew that today's battle would not be fought. After turning on the horse, he cursed, "Despicable Chinese, vulgar and shameless Xiao Letian! You will regret it, the Tsar's anger will burn you to death!"

Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Hexin said again, "Mr. Ulangeli, can I understand that this is your declaration of war on our Ryukyu? Or a declaration of war on the Qing Dynasty? If it is a declaration of war, then there is no meaning of negotiation. Please give me a letter of declaration of war, we will each prepare for war!"

"We Ryukyu soldiers and civilians will not provoke wars on their own initiative, nor will they be afraid of wars!" At this point, Xiao Hexin suddenly turned over and shouted, "Justice will win! Justice will win! Justice will win..."

Xiao Hexin also had more than a dozen Ryukyu Marines shouting in the crowd. There was no scene in the film and television works in the future where everyone was shouting together. Except for a few sour scholars who were studying, most of the people were insensitive.

However, Xiao Hexin didn't care. Just as he clenched his fists and roared, a ball of eyes suddenly popped up in the crowd. The camera equipment that had been prepared long ago recorded Xiao Hexin's heroic posture. This is evidence. It can be used to fight media wars in Europe in the future.

Ulangeli could not describe his feelings, he cursed, "Shameless! So shameless. You sneaked into the Russian army in the Far East and killed our soldiers. Now you dare to say what justice is there? The Chinese are all a group of liars and thugs!"

"I protest!" Xiao Hexin shouted, "I protest, you have falsely accused us of provoking a war without any evidence. What about the evidence? Give me the evidence..."

"There is no evidence or physical evidence. Why do you say that we did it? Where is the so-called volunteer army? Have you caught the living? Even if there are one or two living people, how can you guarantee that it is not a farce written and directed by you?"

"I now have a great doubt that the Battle of Sandaogou was made up by you and used as an excuse to provoke China. Your purpose is to continue to go south to try to get involved in the Liaodong and Jiaodong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty... Don't even think of this clumsy trick to deceive us..."

Come on, Xiao Hexin poured sand into the hearts of the British again. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the corners of his eyes twitching in the British Minister Ai Liguo. It seemed that this sand really stimulated the interests of the British.

Ulangeli suddenly felt an ominous premonition from the bottom of his heart. He found that he was too impatient today. He argued about the topic that should have been discussed at the negotiating table under the gaze of public attention. This is a diplomatic taboo.

There is still room for maneuver when talking secretly in the dark room. There is no evidence to turn back and cheat on the other party if you are not nice. However, it is troublesome to speak in front of tens of thousands of people. Not only can you deny it, you will even be misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives.

"Why don't you talk anymore? The old and young men in Beijing! These Russians are speechless. I'm talking about their worries... Their purpose is to provoke, to threaten the Qing Dynasty with war, and to occupy the land of Liaodong and Jiaodong..."

"They are guilty! Eight years ago, they used coercion and inducement to steal the land in Vladivostok and the Far East. Now they are trying to seize more land in the Qing Dynasty... Can we agree?"

This time, there were many people in the crowd who could understand it. What did you tell the numb people in the late Qing Dynasty that they didn’t understand at all in the Far East Vladivostok, and many people didn’t even know what treaties the imperial court had signed with Russia, nor did they know that there was any cedes of land and compensation.

But when it comes to Liaodong and Jiaodong, people are familiar with it. Jiaodong produces good donkey-hide gelatin, and many Shandong cuisine chefs in the capital are from Shandong, and there are also many people in Liaodong doing business in the capital.

When they heard that the Russians were trying to seize the territory of the Qing Dynasty, people immediately stopped doing it. "Don't agree! Never agree! Kill this Russian!"

Ulangeli couldn't imagine that things had developed to this point and he said in a panic, "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense... When will we invade your land... This is a slander!"

But no matter how loud the voices of one or two people were, they could not suppress the roars of so many people at the scene, and no one could hear his defense. Hua Ruohan and Ai Liguo smiled bitterly and sighed in their hearts, "How can this stupid Russian bear open debate at the Chinese home court? The most naive diplomat would not do such a move!"

But at the critical moment, they also have to safeguard the face of the Westerners and the dignity of the diplomats' team. The two quickly smiled at Zhang Jing from the Zongli Yamen and said, "Sir, please quickly escort the Russian minister back to the mansion. We will go to the Zongli Yamen for formal negotiations tomorrow. This matter cannot be expanded..."

"Hey... the two adults understand the truth. I'll send the Russians back now, and then go back now!"
