The third gift was to please the general public, 50,000 palm-sized, a small round mirror with the portrait of Princess Sissi printed on the back, and 50,000 white handkerchiefs, of course, there were only some flower embroidery patterns on the handkerchiefs, which were gifts for ordinary citizens and women.

Fifty thousand stainless steel cigarette cases with portraits of Princess Sisi and Emperor Joseph, and of course ten filter cigarettes in the cigarette case, are a gift that any man will love.

10,000 folding umbrellas that Princess Sissi will ride on the umbrella surface as if she were alive as if she were alive and galloping on the umbrella surface, and 3,000 stainless steel gasoline lighters that will make a crisp "ding" sound when the flip is opened, which is a gift for gentlemen.

The children, Gao Hongsheng, did not forget that pencils were expensive consumables at that time, and scented erasers were good things that the bear children had never seen. 500,000 pencils and 100,000 erasers were packed in 20 large boxes, which were packed in a small flat cardboard box with the portrait of Princess Sissi in five pencils and one eraser, and were given to every child or their parents who came to visit.

There is an old saying: "The mouth of the eater is short, and the hand of the taker is short." "Gao Hongsheng gave so many gifts to those ordinary citizens of Vienna, and the fundamental purpose was that these ordinary people would have a good opinion of him and the people of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

At that time, the image of Chinese in the West can be described as miserable, and the image of smearing Chinese began with the British, and most of the Europeans imagined China through the content of Marco Polo's travels, a rich and huge empire full of gold, and ordinary people in the impression of Europeans could even wear clothes made of silk that only their aristocratic class could wear.

So why did the image of the Chinese become so ugly later? In fact, if you think about the simplest truth, you can understand that if you want to hit someone, you have to make everyone think that you should hit that person, what should you do?

The easiest way is to smear the person you want to beat, make that person a person who is hated by everyone, and a person who is not upset will become, so that you will get the right to beat him openly, which is why the West smears China.

The declining Qing Dynasty government could be described as indifferent to the fact that the Western society smeared the Chinese, and it would not spend a sum of money to invest in journalism at that time to manipulate public opinion, but only used a high-minded and blank attitude to completely ignore all actions to smear the Chinese.

In contrast to the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese began to use a special fund to bribe European newspapers long before the First Sino-Japanese War, firstly to cover up their ugly deeds in the war, and secondly, to manipulate Western public opinion to conceal their purpose of occupying Korea and plotting against China.

The First Sino-Japanese War, called the Sino-Japanese War by the Japanese, was propagated by the Japanese as a war of civilization, liberation, and salvation.

The war of civilizations was a war between advanced civilizations and backward civilizations, the Qing Dynasty was a decadent and declining civilization, while Japan represented the modern advanced civilization, and the replacement of backward civilizations by advanced civilizations was salvation rather than aggression.

The War of Salvation is the most familiar to the Chinese people, expelling the Tatars and restoring China, and the people are here to help us expel the rule of the Manchus and restore the dominance of the Han people. The War of Liberation refers to Korea, which is a vassal state of China, and it is a just war to help Korea become independent from China as a vassal state, and to liberate all the working people of Korea from the dark rule of the Qing Dynasty.

The Japanese had the upper hand in the war of public opinion in the First Sino-Japanese War, especially the most successful cover-up of the Lushun Massacre, which was the first in the world to disclose information about the "Lushun Massacre" on the afternoon of November 21, 1894, but the British Times published a telegram on November 26 that the Lushun Massacre occurred, which was the first time in the world to disclose information about the "Lushun Massacre".

On the Japanese mainland, long before the Lushun Massacre, Japan made careful arrangements to cover up the truth of the war, and Japan implemented a "review" system for reports on the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Japanese people did not know about the "Lushun Massacre" at all; after the fall of Lushun, many places across the country paraded and held banquets, shouting long live to celebrate the victory, and the Tokyo stock market also rebounded and soared, and the base camp then transported a large number of "war trophies" plundered by the Second Army in Lushun back to China and displayed them at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. There are more people visiting the exhibition than visiting Asakusa and Ueno, and the name "trophy" has become fashionable in Japan.

After the Lushun Massacre, the British Central News Agency and Reuters were successively bribed by Michinoku Munemitsu and the acting Japanese minister to the United Kingdom, Yasuya Uchida. "Whenever an unfavorable [Japanese] story is published in the local newspaper," the two news organizations usually immediately go out and counter-advertise. Reuters "promptly stopped" the telegram sent by our reporter from Shanghai exposing the "barbaric tragedy" of Lushun. The Central News Agency argued: "Except for legitimate wartime killings, [the Japanese army] did not kill a single Chinese." Similarly, the Washington Post in the United States, the Japan Post and the Japan Weekly Post in Japan, and a number of newspapers and periodicals in Italy and other countries.

Of course, history cannot be concealed, when the Lushun Massacre was exposed, the Japanese began to deny it in every possible way, first Ikeguchi denied the fact of the massacre, followed by rumors that the Qing army's "humiliation of corpses" caused by the Japanese army's spontaneous "revenge feelings", and then framed the Qing army's defeated soldiers to take off their military uniforms and put on them to hide in residents' homes. The Japanese army could not distinguish between the defeated soldiers and the residents during the sweep, so all the strong men and probably the soldiers were killed mercilessly, and the massacre of prisoners in large numbers was a violation of national law, but the plainclothes of the regular soldiers of the Qing army was also a violation of international law.

In this way, the Lushun Massacre ended in the end, and it was in the First Sino-Japanese War that Japan successfully learned how to manipulate public opinion, how to supervise the press internally, and how to deal with Western public opinion.

This is one of the reasons why the Japanese have repeatedly committed massacres in the course of their aggression against China and other Asian countries in the future, and the result of the manipulation of public opinion is that all the truth can be concealed, and even if it is discovered, it can escape punishment with another powerful reason that "history is written by the victors".

However, the Lushun Massacre was finally exposed, which had a great impact on Japan's international image, which was the main reason why the Japanese army suddenly became mild-mannered when the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked China.

That's right, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the biggest difference between the Japanese occupation zone and other occupied areas was that Japan made meticulous preparations before the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, and brought tens of thousands of small national flags with the army and distributed them to the citizens of Beijing in the occupied areas. It has become the preferred refuge for Beijingers.

In other areas, it was not so lucky, the Eight-Nation Coalition army looted in Beijing for eight days, and it was recorded at the time that "within the boundaries of the Russian army, only dogs survived, and within the borders of the French and Italian armies, there was a shocking depression and almost no traces." Within the boundaries of the German army, the tragic situation was doubled, although there were people in the boundaries of the British army, there were very few people, and within the boundaries of the Japanese army, it was bustling and bustling, and the city was like a city, while within the boundaries of the American army, the city was as safe as before, and the market was fully open.

In this way, it was called "civilized Japanese", and Japan successfully reshaped itself into a gentle gentleman in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China.

In history, the massacre carried out by the Eight-Nation Coalition after the invasion of China and occupation of Beijing can be close to the later Nanjing Massacre in terms of tragedy and destruction, but who told the Qing Dynasty to offend the entire Western society, the result is that there is not even a person in the whole world to help speak, people all over the world selectively forget this tragedy, and the Qing government is so frightened that it does not even dare to let a fart go.

And after watching the massacre carried out by these Western powers in Beijing, Japan also has a full understanding of the faces of Westerners. Don't you think people in the West are also engaged in massacres? You can see that the government doesn't even dare to ask questions after that, and it seems that the West also has two-sided standards.

This is also the reason why Japan dared to commit repeated massacres in the future, people are one of the great powers, and there is no need to have any mercy for the weak. Especially after World War I, Japan regarded itself as the leader of Asia, and its self-confidence was inflated ahead of its time, and breaking away from Asia and joining Europe was not just a simple four words, but a subconscious understanding of its own position in the world.

Now public opinion warfare has become a specialized discipline, and since there have been human beings on the earth, there has been public opinion, and the ancestors summed it up best, "teachers are famous"; "People are upright, God is right, and the name is right." This is the role of public opinion, and the public that manipulates public opinion is actually manipulated in disguise, and if it gains the support of the public, it is invincible.

Who is most likely to get together? Who is most likely to communicate with each other? Of course, it's fans and fans. The same hobbies, the same topic, it is easy to resonate with everyone, Gao Hongsheng just wants to take advantage of the Viennese people's love for Princess Sissi, dress himself up as a fan of Princess Sissi, give some small gifts to express his love for Princess Sissi, and at the same time praise Princess Sissi, it will also enhance the image of the Qing Kingdom, after all, there is basically no such thing as fans scolding fans.

Princess Sissi was also very interested in these small gifts, and watched and played with them carefully, and even took a step ahead to leave some good gifts for herself, Gao Hongsheng was of course happy to please Princess Sissi, and chose some direct boxes to be sent to her later.

She won't do it in person, even if she wants to do it, Gao Hongsheng doesn't do it, there is a good effect that he sent his own people to send to everyone in person, but these gifts will not be distributed today, there are other activities today, this is just one of the gifts he gave to Princess Sissi, but the rest of the gifts Gao Hongsheng can't give to Princess Sissi in person, he is very depressed to receive a bad news that must be solved immediately, Spain has a big problem with the sale of the island.
