1017 Public opinion warfare in the new era

A negotiation between the prime minister's yamen finally broke up, and the people on both sides went back to their respective homes, leaving only Zhang Jing, the secretary and the miscellaneous servants in the yamen sighing.

"Hey...... It was a large pastel tray from the Qianlong Dynasty, and I thought about it and put some fruit for the adults to eat, but it was all smashed......!

"Qianlong pastel is a fart, and the Yongzheng blue and white vase is also broken...... Look at the window lattices of this old red sandalwood, how much does it cost to repair it all after it is smashed!"

"Oops...... Ancestor, the prince's favorite Xuande furnace was also broken, this is over, let's go back and wait for bad luck......"

Later, according to incomplete statistics, the Prime Minister Yamen lost 40,000 taels of silver in this brawl, but the strange thing is that when the Prime Minister Yamen applied to the Ministry of Household for rebuilding funds, the 40,000 taels of silver became 85,000 taels.

As an aside, in this brawl, all the errand clerks of the Prime Minister's Yamen were reprimanded and punished, but one handyman was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, the handyman who was holding the key and running around the courtyard to avoid the pursuit of Russian soldiers.

Fortunately, this guy thought of the people who locked the wings, otherwise in that chaotic situation, once the Russian soldiers who lost their minds got their hands on the weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There are no secrets in Sijiu City, and all the restaurants in Beijing were full that afternoon, and people happily gathered together to talk and talk, and the red-headed faces who drank stood on the stools and sang the play.

This has not been such a high-spirited thing for many years, and it happened right under his nose, when Xiao Hexin shouted in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Yamen, "If you have J8, you are a QJ criminal", this famous saying spread.

"Hatred ......relief! That Xiao Da spit lotus flowers and fought with his tongue, and he could only swing his fists and use force when he squeezed the old hair, but he didn't expect that the use of force was not our opponent, so that the group of new troops would be beaten by the head of the rats......"

"I think you still dare to bully our Qing Dynasty? If you dare to bully the dynasty again, Lao Tzu will beat you...... I saw that Ulan Geli was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands and begging for mercy, and he only smelled the smell of urine in the room, and it turned out that this old hairy man had peed his pants......"

Hahaha...... The people in the tavern burst into laughter, and the copper around the storyteller was thrown over like rain, and it turned out that it was less than half a day, and the storytellers in Sijiu City had already noticed the business opportunity, and they used the fastest speed to adapt this lively negotiation into a small paragraph, to put it bluntly, it was a combination of storytelling and stand-up comedy, and then took turns in the major restaurants in Beijing.

is really not afraid of big things when she sees the excitement, especially Chun Shisanniang, she even released her words through underground channels, all the storytellers and cross talk artists in Beijing, who adapted this incident well, the adaptation is wonderful, and the adaptation is most liked by the people, so she pays out of her own pocket to reward them.

Tanhua rewarded 500 dragon pattern silver coins, Bangyan rewarded 800 silver coins, and as for the first champion, the huge reward of 2,000 silver coins was even more dazzling.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and all kinds of craftsmen who run the rivers and lakes to eat in the overpass, teahouses, and restaurants are all crazy, and they know that if they want to get this reward, it depends on who can get more support from the people, in the final analysis, that is, in those famous restaurants and teahouses, see who gets the most reward, and who gets the highest applause.

The result was the storyteller's big transfer event that night, the same thing was said by different craftsmen, but it was different, and only two or three sentences were coaxed off the stage by others, and those wonderful celebrities could get thunderous applause every time they said it, and there were copper coins like raindrops.

Chun Thirteen Niang calmly jumped out of these versions, jumped out of the three most excellent, and then copied them on paper and began to spread them through the CIA's telegraph channels.

This was a way of transmitting information that no one in the late Qing Dynasty could have imagined, and the next morning all the cities of the empire that had telegraph lines had received the latest news of the negotiations, along with three of the most popular commentaries of the Jingshi.

Zhili, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan...... In just one night, the most prosperous cities of the Great Qing Kingdom exploded.

At first, people's thinking was only about the emotional release of this single incident, and people were angry at the shamelessness of the Russians, applauded Xiao Hexin's eloquence, and danced excitedly in the ferocious fight.

But when the excitement wears off, people think deeper. Why? Why is there so little voice from the imperial court in the whole affair? Why has there been no reaction to the tragic plight of those remnants of the Far East? Why has there not been even a single statement?

What happened to the imperial court? Did they really want to give up the people of those dynasties? Aren't the remnants of the Far East who are still fighting even though their land has been ceded away deserve the support of the imperial court? Even if it is only verbal encouragement.

"Hey...... If one day our hometown falls into the hands of the enemy, will the dynasty also turn a blind eye?"

This is a completely asymmetrical war, when the people have already generated countless doubts, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Sijiu City are not even aware of the generation of such doubts, and the long reflex arc makes them simply not know how to deal with the rapid and changeable public opinion.

When the speed of human information transmission reached the age of telegraphy, the brains of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still filled with fast horses, post stations and layers of letters, a group that was completely eliminated by the times, helpless in the face of the great changes in human society.

In the following days, the Ryukyus and Russia really terminated all negotiations, and Britain, the United States and France came to the door many times to adjust, among which Xiao Hexin has always politely said that the door to negotiations has never been closed, and he hopes to continue negotiations.

But Ulan Geli was completely out of control, and he sent telegrams to Vladivostok almost three times a day, from the city of Beijing all the way to the Cheongjin region of North Korea, and then went straight to Vladivostok by clipper and fast horse, which was already the quickest way of communication between Beijing and the Far East.

In the telegram of the past few days, the Supreme Military Commander of the Far East, Tiyachenko, reluctantly told the ambassador that although the number of Volunteers is decreasing, there are still sporadic outposts attacked, and an average of three or four Russian soldiers are hunted and killed every day.

Yes, they are hunted like prey, but the vile enemies are nowhere to be found.

Ulangori angrily told Britain, the United States and France that he would never trust the Chinese anymore, that Russia would prepare for war, that it would pour its strength into war in the East, and that it would absolutely not let go of these despicable criminals!
