4538 Good news on the fifth day of May

May 1, 1874! The capital was dawn, and the people woke up in a daze. The city gate was already open. Many vegetable vendors doing business outside the city carried their pickups to the city, selling zongzi leaves, glutinous rice, and red dates.

There are a few days left to go on the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival in the capital is also a very important festival, and no one can slack off.

Just as every household opened its doors to welcome the new day, suddenly there were bursts of noise coming from the street, and the people who had just woken up rubbed their eyes and asked each other.

"What's wrong? I got up early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"I don't know! I'm just messing around every day..."

Women don’t care what’s happening on the street. They are more concerned about whether the ingredients for making rice dumplings have increased prices and whether they are fresh before the festival.

The oil bottle at home is poured and he refuses to help him. What to eat this morning is important!

"My daughter's mother? She doesn't cook yet? She knows to talk about Dashan...Where are the scrambled eggs I want?"

"Eat... I know if I have any fried eggs. I will turn around and deduct one from the chicken's butt!"

"Hey... why are you old lady fighting every day? You have returned all the money to you, are you not happy?"

"Bah! I'm back and let you go to a teahouse. What can you leave at home? Tell me..."

When Mr. Fu got up early in the morning, he started arguing with his wife again. The fried eggs he asked for seemed to be unable to eat. This woman is really fierce.

At this moment, the boy came to the street outside again, "Master Fu!Master Fu... Go quickly, go quickly... There is something big, there is a big happy event!"

"San'er came again. You said you two can be together all day long..."

Master Fu ran to the gate with a bird cage, "San'er, what's wrong? What's the noise..."

"My Master Fu! Isn't you going out yet? Just sleep in every day. You let others know the real good news first. Master Qin has already gone to the teahouse!"

"Go away quickly, there will be a great happy event in the Qing Dynasty!"

The neighbors watched the two of them running out and shook their heads, "Oh... the bannermen are just leisurely and don't have to work for the rest of their lives, just listen to the news and play. What a blessing!"

Turn left after leaving the alley, there is a small teahouse. At this moment, many people have already crowded over. The old acquaintance, Mr. Qin, took out a roll of newspaper from his pocket and said mysteriously.

"Look, I asked you to order a copy of the Qing Dynasty in advance. You just refused to spend money. How about it now? Are you begging me?"

"This little money is not saved!"

"Master Qin! Don't keep it aside. If you have any good news, just say it. It's really good news. I'll invite you to have tea!"

"Okay... this news has to be replaced with a pot of scaryness. Dr. Tea is ready..."

Master Qin looked at Master Fu and Master Fu who were gasping for exhaustion, and smiled and crossed his legs, gently spreading the roll of newspaper.

"Everything is done! The front page headlines of the Qing Dynasty!"

"On April 10, the Zongli Yamen was closed for one day, allowing Tsarist Russian Minister Ulan Geli, our Qing Dynasty and the Chinese to discuss the ceasefire together. Do you all know this?"

"I know! That day, most people in the Zongli Yamen took a day off, and no one was going home to rest... Just say it directly, it's not a day or two for us to negotiate with the Rakshasa ghost. We negotiate once every few days, and it's not new!"

"Haha... it's not new? Today I will give you something fresh!"

"The newspaper has been announced today. April 10th is not a negotiation, but a treaty was signed directly, and the armistice agreement has been signed!"

"The Qing Dynasty, the Chinese and Tsarist Russia, signed the "The Final Treaty of Qing and Russia's Border Exploration"! These Rakshasa ghosts... gave up!"

With a bang, the crowd was in anger. Master Fu rushed over to support the table and said, "I gave in to lose? Did I hear that right? During the Chinese New Year, didn't the Yili River Valley fight twice? He gave in to lose so quickly, what are the conditions?"

"Listen! Tsarist Russia gave up all the land in the Ili River Valley and retreated to the west of Lake Balkhash. The most fertile valley pastures on the east were all from my Qing Dynasty!"

"Okay! Long live the Qing Dynasty, long live the emperor!" The crowd suddenly became excited.

"There is good news! The land of the outer Xing'anling that our Qing Dynasty ceded during the Kangxi period was also taken back! Even Lake Baikal, which is what we call Beihai, was taken back one-third!"

"The land that the Rakshasa ghost snatched away in the past two hundred years has been vomited back, and all of them have been vomited back!"

This was really shocking news. When everyone heard the news of the expansion of territory, they shouted like crazy. The teahouse was full of long live the emperor and the Qing Dynasty!

Master Fu's tears fell down, "Where are other conditions? Are there any? How much money did we pay in the Qing Dynasty?"

Master Qin glared at him, "What money should I pay? No need to pay a penny! The Rakshasa ghost is defeated in the battle, do you still have the attitude to ask for money? No penny will be paid!"

People are crazy, crying, laughing, and stupid! Jingying** doesn’t know how to deal with this news!

At this moment, a crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly came from afar, "Oh, set off firecrackers! Why did you forget this! Let's set off too..."

On May 1st, the capital kept ringing from the morning when the firecrackers were heard. The people spontaneously bought all the firecrackers in the city and set them off, just to vent their joy in their hearts.

This ended up making people laugh and cry. Many families who were preparing to get married couldn't buy firecrackers!

All the restaurants were full, and all the wine in the capital was sold out in one day, and the amount sold for ten days in the past day was sold in one day!

The major wineries outside the city began to work overtime to transport them to the city, and all the festivals and great events were gathered together.

The day chosen by Emperor Tongzhi was really good to release the news, which made the festival atmosphere even stronger. He invited all the ministers to celebrate the signing of the treaty at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Not only that, at the banquet, he ordered all officials to pay an additional half a year of salary, which is called happy money!

The hardcore crops of the Eight Banners also went on for half a year at once, which made everyone feel happy!

If the Han people in the capital cannot give money, then no one over the age of 60 can have a bottle of wine and ten kilograms of meat, which is considered a wish!

Celebrate together and congratulate the capital!

By the Dragon Boat Festival, this news had spread to all counties and counties in the Qing Dynasty. Except for the mountains that were too remote, as long as the plains had developed transportation, the people received this good news.

This is a rare victory for the Qing Dynasty when the Opium War came! After the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty never won the battle against foreigners, especially against foreign devils, and always ceded land and paid compensation!

But today, it is simply unimaginable ecstasy to be able to take the land from the mouth of the Rakshasa ghost!

The entire Qing Dynasty was thrilled. The governors and governors from all over the country organized celebrations and gave all the gifts to the court to the accompanying court!

"Have you heard it? Have you heard it? Ulan Geli committed suicide by jumping into the lake!"

"Great news! That Rakshasa ghost who has been rampant for many years jumped into Kunming Lake and drowned!"

On the fifth day of the fifth month, Dragon Boat Festival! Ulan Geli, who was completely desperate, finished all his errands and reached the end of his life!

Before signing the contract, he had already sent a telegram to the Tsar, and he decided to take all the responsibilities with his life!

He is using his own life to safeguard the dignity of the Tsar!

When the Qing Dynasty received this news, it was even more like a carnival like cooking oil!
