This sudden fight was completely prepared and unprepared. Xiao Hexin's plan last night was to anger the Russians and make them take the initiative to punch. Under the circumstantial testimony of the ministers of Britain, the United States and France, Ulan Geli was justified and finally It became unreasonable.
Swearing in diplomatic situations is very common and not unusual. But it is a bit too shameful to start a fight. When human beings entered the 19th century, Europeans already regarded themselves as civilized people. Although they were just as despicable and shameless as murderers and hustlers off the stage, they must not act like barbarians on the stage. set.
Ulan Geli must not be able to stay in Asia this time. After this battle, the Tsar will have to recall him even if he is unwilling. However, it will take at least three or four months for the new minister to come to Asia. This is still It must be said that Moscow will send someone immediately without delay.
If Moscow cannot find a good candidate for a while, then the time may be delayed to more than half a year, which will be the spring of 1869. God knows what changes will happen to the international situation in such a long time.
Maybe the Franco-Prussian War will be brought forward. This is not impossible.
The most important point is that Xiao Letian had already set the tone for Xiao Hexin before leaving. He must be tough and not give in, both civil and military.
Just to let the loyal ministers and obedient people of the Qing Dynasty take a look at how the Qing Dynasty conducted diplomacy? How does Ryukyu conduct diplomacy? There will always be people who are quick-thinking and will think more deeply. Only through comparison can there be any differences.
Therefore, Xiao Hexin temporarily adjusted the members of the guard last night, and specially selected a group of masters with kung fu skills, and not those rangers who like to fight alone. He asked that the next day's fight must be as cooperative as possible and be ruthless. To suppress the enemy's arrogance.
This means being prepared and unprepared. The Russians are better because of their good physical fitness and strong individual combat capabilities, while the Chinese soldiers pay more attention to fighting skills and cooperation. Compared with the two, the young men of the new army have the advantage.
Bang bang bang... Doors and windows were smashed one after another, and the tall bodies of the Russian soldiers were thrown out. The frightened people in the yard hurriedly moved away.
The clever servant quickly locked the doors and windows of the left and right wing rooms. There are weapons in there. If someone is so red-eyed and uses a knife or a gun to kill one or two Qing Dynasties, they will not be able to follow suit. !
Sure enough, the soldier who had been thrown out four times and charged four times finally remembered that there was a gun in the room. He ran into the side room angrily, only to see that the handyman had just locked the door.
After chattering in Russian for a while, he rushed towards the handyman. The thin and withered handyman screamed in fright, turned around and ran away.
The Russian soldiers roared and chased after them, and the frightened servants darted back and forth among the crowd, relying on their familiarity with the terrain to make a run for it in the Prime Minister's Yamen.
Passing through one room after another, breaking one piece of furniture after another, and finally even knocking over the water tank in the back kitchen.
They ran from the front lobby to the flower hall at the back, and then ran back to the front. When they saw the main battlefield again, the servants discovered that the soldiers of the Nine Admirals had finally rushed in, and had used a human wall to block both sides. of separation.
"Help... Old Maozi wants to kill me!" The handyman swooped into the group of soldiers.
"You, you, you... stop..." These soldiers rushed forward, but the bear didn't slow down at all. Like a bison charging into the crowd, he fell down in large pieces with a loud bang, and the leading officer fell down. It was like being hit by an iron plate, and the bridge of my nose was broken.
The clay figurine was also very angry, "Catch him! If you dare to resist, beat him... Stacked Arhat!" He ordered all the surrounding soldiers to pounce on him, and two, three or four Stacked Arhats pressed forward.
Unexpectedly, this furry bear was so strong. With five soldiers on top of him, he roared and stood up again. He even lifted one soldier and threw him out through the gate.
"Wow... I'm so angry. Where are the guards from Shuntian Mansion? Are your chains tied to your crotch?"
At this time, the servant of Shuntian Mansion finally woke up from his boredom. Is that right? Our Shuntian Mansion is expert at dealing with fights. "Brothers, get on the chains..."
There was a clanging sound of iron chains. These guards had skills passed down from father to son for three or four generations. They definitely had a way of arresting people, and they were no problem dealing with such fights.
Three chains were wrapped around the bear, and the three officers circled around him, but they could not subdue the bear. Finally, seven or eight more officers came, and everyone was holding on to the chains like pulling out carrots. , desperately trying to regain strength.
Immediately afterwards, the stick of water and fire hit the socket of his knees, and the bear knelt on the ground, unable to move.
"One, one, one two one... one, one, one two one..." At this moment, there was a burst of neat footsteps outside the Prime Minister's Office. The door opened into an alley, and a team of people wearing dark clothes ran in from the inside. Soldier in gray western military uniform.
"Xishan Camp! Oh my ancestors... Look, young and old, our Xishan Camp has sent out troops..." The crowd suddenly became excited.
The French instructor at the front shouted in weird Chinese, "The whole company is here...obey my order! The rifle is tilted upward at 45 degrees...fire!"
Bang bang bang... More than a hundred Xishan recruits raised their guns and pointed them at the blue sky. When they pulled the trigger, there was a burst of gunfire. The sound of the gun shocked everyone present, and the hall suddenly became quiet. No one took action.
Soon Yi? was helped out by Yi Xuan. Someone hit Guiziliu's left eye socket with a black circle. He stared at the black eye like a panda. He shouted angrily, "Who told you to shoot?" ?What kind of shots did you fire to maintain order? Who gave the order..."
However, when he turned around and saw the French instructor looking at him indifferently, he had no choice but to wave and say, "Separate the Ryukyu envoy and the Russian envoy and escort them to their respective residences... The remaining people clean the Yamen, you see." Look what this has become!"
Hua Ruohan and others also came out to comfort Yi? At this moment, Wu Langeli came out with a heavy head and roared, "Let go of my soldiers, let's go back to the embassy! This negotiation can no longer proceed. Already..."
"Prince Gong... and the scoundrels from Ryukyu! Let the war begin! Be prepared to face the wrath of the Tsar! We will wash away all the shame of today on the battlefield, and I will not have any dialogue with you again... "
Xiao Hexin looked indifferent, playing with his cane and smiling at the ministers of Britain, the United States and France, "It's such a pity. I didn't expect that a good negotiation would turn out like this... But we in Ryukyu are still polite. The door to negotiations has always been open, and Russia is welcome to restart negotiations at any time..."
"But I have to remind Mr. Ulan Geli that you will have to apologize for today's use of force. You are really ungrateful! People have to be reasonable and cannot always talk about violence! Just say so. …”
"Ah..." Ulan Geli looked up to the sky angrily and roared, "Rogue, you are a rogue!"
