1008 Turning the tide of the situation
It is very rude to shout an official's name in a formal setting, especially in front of a large crowd of onlookers. In China, there is this kind of politeness, in fact, the West also has this kind of politeness.
Westerners should at least call each other by their titles in diplomatic occasions, if they are nobles, they will be called nobles, if they are officials, they will be called by their official names, and if they are high-level intellectuals, they must also call someone a scholar, a certain family, and so on.
Of course, China is more particular about this kind of etiquette, and everyone has a table character, and it is very elegant and polite to call the character and number.
Today, Ulan Geli actually called the prime minister's name in front of everyone, this kind of rude and rude behavior is really intolerable.
Xiao Hexin shouted: "Shut up, rude barbarian, you can also call the name of the prime minister? You Russians conduct diplomacy like this? Is barbarism and rudeness synonymous with you? Don't be ashamed, but proud......
Ulan Geli sneered and looked at Xiao Hexin, "Our civilization is for those civilized people, not despicable sneak attackers, you inferior people are not worthy of the courtesy of noble Russians...... The only way to deal with you is war!"
Xiao Hexin turned his head to the people outside the Guangqu Gate and said, "The people of Sijiu City have heard clearly, right? This is the envoy of the Russians, you have heard every word he said......
The people watched in horror at the quarrel between the big guys, some with blank faces, some with resentment, and more insensitive and insensitive at all.
However, the intellectuals and officials in the crowd all looked at Ulan Geli with righteous indignation, and they all became angry with the enemy in the face of foreign enemies, both Manchu and Han.
"Come on, I'll record every word Ulangori said, it's evidence of his insult to the leaders of other countries, do you want to make a big deal out of it?" Okay, then let the whole world see your face......
Ulangori was a military attache to Minister Ignatiev, and he was one of the bystanders when the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing was signed in 1860, and he remembered the cowardly and incompetent Manchu officials at that time.
This weak Qing State did not have a hard bone at all, and the powerful Russia cut off millions of square kilometers of land without a single shot, and they were the biggest winners of that war.
Since then, Ulangori has looked down on the Chinese extremely, and these earthworm-like reptiles do not have a single bone in their bodies.
He didn't care about any documentary evidence or anything like that, he laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha...... The weak really only talk about it, oh of course you are a little better, you have actually learned to sneak attack in secret! The great Russian warriors have died tragically at your hands, and you maggots in hell will be burned to ashes sooner or later!"
"What about Xiao Letian, the wild dog hiding in the shadows, let him come out! The cowardly wild dog get out......
Xiao Hexin was furious: "Ulan Geli, are you crazy? I really can't believe that Russia would send such a rude person as you to engage in diplomatic work, now you must apologize to me, otherwise I will challenge you in a gladiatorial fight!"
"Gladiatorial fighting? You dare to propose a gladiatorial fight to me? hahaha...... How dare a cowardly Chinese challenge me? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard......"
Ulangori's wild laughter had not stopped, and suddenly a pair of white shadows pounced directly, and they were caught off guard and hit their faces with a snap.
Flying over was a pair of white gloves, which is a typical European gladiatorial challenge ritual, and throwing away the gloves is a declaration of war to be played.
Xiao Hexin turned over and dismounted, took out the revolver's revolving bullet bay, and then flicked his hand like a western cowboy, "Barbarian, I want to maintain the dignity of the prime minister, dismount and accept the gladiatorial fight, someone must die here today......"
With a bang, there was a sensation outside the entire Guangqu Gate, and there was a kind of real thing! Dare to take out a gun and fight against Lao Maozi, if there were people in the court who had half the courage of their families, they would not be bullied like this by foreigners.
The crowd dispersed with an uproar, Xiao Hexin looked at Ulan Geli with contempt, he knew that this irascible old man would definitely not be able to bear it. The CIA had already conducted a detailed investigation of the diplomatic envoys in Beijing at present, and Ulangori, a military attaché from a military position, was a short-tempered and combative guy when he was in Moscow, and duels were commonplace for him.
Moreover, Russia is one of the countries that has preserved the duel culture most thoroughly in Europe, and other countries such as Britain and France have gradually abandoned this barbaric behavior, but in Russia duels are still a common drama among the aristocracy, and even the great writer Pushkin died because of the duel.
Ulan Gray smiled and jumped off the horse, "You dead cripple, if you want to find death, I will fulfill you!" Xiao Lotian is a shrunken turtle, so it's not bad to use you as an appetizer!"
Zhang Jingjing of the Prime Minister's Yamen was almost paralyzed with fright, what kind of bad luck did he have to meet such an errand, and he must go to Baiyun Temple to worship Ming'er.
"The two adults are angry, don't be angry, don't hurt your eyes if the bullet doesn't grow, don't hurt your ......" Zhang Jing had already prepared, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Yamen behind him rushed up in a swarm to form a thick human wall to block the excited envoys on both sides.
The clash at Guangqumen soon attracted another group of mediators, and the American envoy Warren and the British minister Ai Liguo all arrived at the scene as neutral mediators.
No matter how this conflict happened, as a diplomat, it is very undesirable to learn from shrews and scold the streets, or even dig out a gun to duel, and Ulangori gradually calmed down.
"Very good, this is your attitude towards the Ryukyus? I will report everything that happened today to the great Tsar, you Chinese wait for the Tsar's wrath! Xiao Lotian will be punished......"
Xiao Hexin sneered and replied: "It's a big deal, it's a war, Nikolayevich probably doesn't have the courage to fight a war in the Far East, right? Don't follow his father's example and be forced to commit suicide by poisoning himself in the end......
"Ahh
"Protect your ...... Counterattack!" The Ryukyu Marines made a noise of pulling the bolts of their guns, and the guns were about to open fire when they pointed their guns at Ulangori, and the guards of the Russian minister on the opposite side hurriedly pulled Ulangori off their horses and crowded behind the human wall.
Bang Bang Bang ...... A barrage of bullets grazed the scalp of the human wall and flew out, hitting a string of Saturn on the wall of Guangqu Gate.
