The entrance to the Prime Minister's Office opened into an alley, and two Far Eastern survivors, Wang Gui and Ding Si, were pushed in from the outside as if in a dream. At first glance, these two were dressed like men from outside the customs. In the autumn of Beijing, people have just put on jackets. , these two people were already wearing old sheepskin coats, and Ding Si couldn't stop gushing when he opened his mouth.
The Northeastern accent is very familiar to men in the Forty-Nine City, because there are frequent exchanges between bannermen outside the Pass and bannermen inside the Pass, so if you hear an authentic Northeastern accent on the street, don't underestimate it, it may be a big shot in the Eight Banners.
However, these two people were obviously not included. Just by looking at their eyes, looking around, as if they couldn't see enough, you knew that this was their first time in Beijing and they hadn't seen much of the world.
"Greetings to you adults..." The two of them walked into the hall and knelt down to kowtow to the two princes. These were really obedient people of the Qing Dynasty. They could tell at a glance who was the master and who was an outsider.
Xiao Hexin looked around and said coldly, "Please record every word and sentence I say below carefully. These two are the survivors of the Far East Dynasty, Wang Gui and Ding Si, survivors of the Qingdao gold mine..."
"Qingdao Gold Mine?" Everyone around was confused. Even the two princes looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea where that place was. Only Ulan Geli's expression changed drastically.
"Qingdao! Many people don't know where this place is at all, but I can tell you that it is an island off the coast of Vladivostok, and there is a gold mine on it that the Chinese have mined for a long time..."
In Xiao Hexin's story, the ins and outs of Qingdao are clearly explained. Wang Gui and Ding Si were survivors after the massacre. They took a small boat and drifted on the Sea of Japan until they reached the Tsushima Strait before being rescued by a North Korean fishing boat. , and was sent to the branch of Lotte Bank in North Korea.
Wang Gui and Ding Si had made a lot of preparations before. Although they were a little bit frightened at the moment, they finally finished the story. When the people present heard that more than two thousand Chinese survivors were massacred in the gold mine, everyone was shocked. He glared with righteous indignation.
Ding Si pointed at Lao Maozi and cursed, "What the fuck, these Rakshasa ghosts should be treated like beasts by our fellow villagers... burned, beheaded, disemboweled, tortured... those who were hidden in the cave were smoked alive by them." They choked to death, and in the end only more than 300 people escaped, and a group of people fell into the water and froze to death on the sea!"
"What the fuck, we've been mining that gold mine for more than ten years. Why do you just shut it down? Why do you kill people when you come up..."
Wang Gui was a little more rational than Ding Si. He looked at the prince and the special envoy in the hall and choked with tears, "We are the remnants of the dynasty. No one cares about us. We live like weeds... We have never provoked anyone and have not offended anyone." No matter who, as long as there is a chance of survival, we will not fight against others..."
"You want to collect taxes, you want to collect heavy taxes! Then collect them. If we can get a mouthful of food, we will bow our heads and accept our fate. But in the end, you don't even give us a mouthful of food. Do you just want to starve us to death?"
"You said the gold mine is yours, is it yours? If you said the forestry farm is yours, is it yours? Everything has become yours. I'm asking how we can survive. We must have a bite to eat..."
"Slander, this is slander! I want to protest, you are changing the subject..." Ulan Geli shouted.
"This is not a slander, and you have no right to protest. Do you dare to say that you were unaware of the massacre at the Qingdao Gold Mine? Do you dare to say that you did not? Then I will apply for Britain, France and the United States to jointly form an expedition team to personally board the island and go to the Far East to investigate. Fan, do you dare!" Xiao Hexin immediately pushed back.
Ai Liguo and Hua Ruohan are so beautiful in their hearts that they can interfere in Russia's internal affairs and make the other party feel disgusted. This is definitely the highlight of their diplomatic careers, and it is also a great achievement when they return home to report on their work!
The 19th century is not the 21st century. There was no United Nations at this time. The most taboo thing among Western powers was to interfere in each other's internal affairs. No matter how stupid Ulan Geli was, he would not let other countries interfere in his own internal affairs.
He said forcefully, "These things have nothing to do with our negotiations. They are our internal affairs in the Far East. What we are talking about now is the Battle of Sandaogou, and what we are discussing is the cause of death of Russian soldiers!"
Xiao Hexin slammed the table with a bang, "It doesn't matter? I think it does. I must let the whole world know what you Russians are doing in the Far East? You are like bandits, robbing all the gold and silver mines, and taking the best." The forest farm was taken away, and the best nomadic land became your property..."
"Then let me ask you! How should the people who lived there in those days live? What did they eat and drink? Did they starve to death..."
"Shut up..." Xiao Hexin didn't give Ulan Geli a chance to speak at all. "You said that is your internal affairs? I asked Prince Gong to check the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty to see if there is anything against it. Special provisions for the remnants? If there is nothing wrong with my mind, it says in black and white that wherever the Chinese live, Russia is strictly prohibited from expelling them and must maintain the status quo!"
"Have you done it? You betrayed the treaty and triggered a civil uprising. Are you going to fight back now?"
Wulan Geli banged the table angrily, "These are two things, completely unrelated. You, you, you... you are just exchanging concepts!"
"I secretly changed the concept? You took a box of broken bullet casings, and then made a so-called confession without any witnesses, just to accuse us of groundless charges? Let me tell you, this is a dream..."
Yi? and Yixuan almost burst into applause. This is what negotiation is like, tit for tat and absolutely not losing momentum and reason. Why is there no such talent in the court? Where did Xiao Letian dig out these treasures?
How did they know that the talents in Ryukyu are all cultivated bit by bit and do not fall from the sky at all.
The negotiations immediately reached a deadlock. Ryukyu refused to accept Ulan Geli's confession evidence because there was no witness. Britain, the United States, including France, also helplessly shook their heads at the Russians and sighed.
Xiao Hexin's reasons are also very good. None of us saw the process of obtaining your confession. There is no third-party evidence at all. This is a flaw in itself legally, because you can't prove the authenticity of these confessions in the first place. Then It is completely untenable to accuse others with confessions of unknown origin.
This is like writing a casual IOU and then asking someone for money: "This is the money your dead grandfather owed my family. I have no guarantor, no witnesses, and I can't compare your grandfather's handwriting. Anyway, I'm just asking you for money, and you owe me money anyway..." Isn't this a scoundrel?
Ulan Geli was completely deceived. Only then did he realize that the so-called confession was really a joke, but this confession was obviously true! We really didn’t fake it!
At that moment Wulan Geli really felt more unjust than Dou E!
