Chapter 149 National Carnival

Immediately afterwards, they began to light a bonfire and place a large amount of meat around the bonfire, such as washed and skinned pigs, sheep, etc.

Spirits, barbecue, and bonfires are three things that symbolize festivals and carnival for all Russian soldiers.

With these things in front of us, and a prestigious old guy like Yelmorgen controlling the situation, it was obvious that the turmoil and hostility were eliminated in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, two more carriages drove in from outside the camp, and clowns appeared directly on the carriages, as well as a simple band. They were playing cheerful Russian folk songs on the accordion and flute, such as Katyusha and Red Plum Blossoms.

Open, Moscow suburbs at night, etc.

The final highlight was pickled cucumbers, big ribs, and pickled fatty pork Salo placed on more than a dozen tables. These local dishes were fatal temptations for these Russian soldiers.

Yelmorgen even raised his arms and shouted:

"Sing, dance, children, this is the reward you deserve, drink for our relatives, drink for our comrades, drink for the damn blizzard! Today is your Maslenitsa!"

Meat Shelen originated from the customs of the Orthodox Church. There is a forty-day Lent period, during which people are prohibited from eating meat and entertaining. Therefore, one week before the start of Lent, every household begins to eat Husse.

, this is the origin of Maslenitsa.

However, later on Lent ceased to exist in name only - how can we not eat meat or have fun in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero - but the carnival habit of Maslenitsa was retained.

Under this circumstance, the military camp quickly turned into a carnival venue, and carriages continued to come in to ensure an adequate supply of food and spirits. All of these things were willingly provided by local Japanese businessmen in Nagasaki

.

Because someone told them clearly, do you want these out-of-control soldiers to rush into your store, kill your clerks and then forcibly take away these things and set them on fire, or do you want to take the initiative to send the things there to ensure safety?

Obviously, any normal person will know how to choose. Of course, there are always those who like to go against the trend. However, such people will of course be severely punished by reality. Otherwise, those who are honest will

Don’t people who have money become fools?

There is no doubt that after the wine, meat and music, most of the people in the military camp started to get high. The only one who was unhappy was probably Romansav! He even gritted his teeth watching this scene!

For him, it can be said that he has been strategizing for a long time, but when the time came, he was suddenly kicked out of the cauldron!

What's even more exaggerated is that when the aroma of barbecue began to waft, many people started to walk in from the gate. If these people had walked in twenty minutes ago, they would definitely have been beaten by these violent and crazy guys.

torn into pieces.

But now, most Russians have been lost in the smell of alcohol, barbecue, tap dancing, and pickled cucumbers, and these people are simply ignored.

And this group of people quickly entered the carnival venue, as silently as dense rain falling from the sky and blending into the sea. They should have chosen their targets early, and then came to some people:

"Mr. Philadimir, can I buy you a glass of scotch?"

"Mr. Ye Luoxin, I heard that your fiancée likes Fabergé eggs very much. Are you satisfied with this Czar Sapphire pendant egg?"

"Mr. Makarov, you are a fearless warrior. I admire your courage very much on the battlefield. This is my personal opinion."

"I was introduced by Mr. Pang Ning. Mr. Alexei, I am an efficient person. I heard that your mother is seriously ill?"

"Mr. Zobnin, I would like to talk to you about the weather in Vladivostok, and of course, the commission for hiring a warrior like you."

"..."

These people look ordinary, and what they say is the same cliché. If someone looks more carefully, they will even find that their language is templated, and they only need to change the name to a different person.

However, what these people are doing is causing the last force of the expeditionary force to begin to break down, like a strong fortress. First, the outer coating begins to change color, sand falls, then another brick falls, and then another

piece......

There's less sand and soil outside, it doesn't matter,

A few bricks fell,

It’s nothing.

But quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. If the sand and bricks are gone, can a fortress with only the skeleton still be called a fortress?

It can only be described as a ruin.

After seeing this scene, Romansav's whole body stiffened, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Only now did he realize one thing:

If you choose to be the enemy of that damn Hu Zhiyun, you will have to face the huge capital behind this guy, and the power of capital can make even a space warrior miserable!

***

Two days later,

The Yoshino and Matsushima, which had returned one step ahead of schedule, slowly docked in the ice-free port of Vladivostok.

At this time, there were many heavyweights standing at the port of Vladivostok. In addition to the Russian envoy, there were also Song Yuren, Tan Sitong, and the heads of the bank headed by the second master of the Qiao family. All of them were excited, and Tan Sitong's eyes were even more intense.

It's full of tears.

"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and I will never return it if I don't break Loulan! Brother Hu, you really go through life and death, and you do what you say!"

"How many years, how many years has it been? How long has it been since our country has seen such a scene of a large army going out for an expedition and returning home with a full load?"

"Boys, welcome back to our beautiful hometown. The scars on your bodies will become medals sought after by girls!"

"Send a telegram, send a telegram, no! Directly send a telegram to the whole country. Our expeditionary force has landed in Japan, broke into the Japanese port of Nagasaki, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and made countless gains!"

"...."

Even though communications were relatively backward at this time, the telegraph, which was invented in 1837, had been in use for almost 60 years. In 1866, there was even a transatlantic telegraph!

Even for the corrupt and ignorant Qing court, it was popularized in the country in 1871, and it took more than 20 years to build.

Therefore, the request that the second master of the Qiao family shouted loudly and wildly was quickly forwarded word for word by the Vladivostok Poster Bureau.

Then this astonishingly long message, which was not concise and concise, was spread all over the country and abroad in just half a day!

Many newspapers, including Shenbao, immediately published special issues. One of the most famous articles was written by Xie Zhengyue, the number one scholar who lived in Shanghai, and used the preface of Du Fu's poem "Wen Guanjun took over Henan and Hebei".

Two sentences: "Suddenly spread outside the sword to accept Jibei, and when I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears." This is the title.

This article introduces in detail the composition, origin, and current achievements of the expeditionary force--of course, it has been artistically processed.

Li Qinglian wrote the famous sentence "White hair is three thousand feet", which has been passed down through the ages. So what's the problem if I add an extra zero after the number of kills and seizures?

This special issue was also sold out in just two hours. The price of paper in Luoyang was so high that the whole government and the public were excited and shocked. Of course, Xie Zhengyue did not expect that he had received 500 taels of silver to write it.

The gun manuscript that came out was so sensational.

Xie Zhengyue himself is also a bit of a mathematician. The readers of all the articles he has written in his life combined are probably not as many as the Rainbow Fart Gun manuscript with a polishing fee of 500 taels!

So he later took the initiative to find the Qiao family to refund the money. Of course, the Qiao family, which was already so famous at this time, would definitely not accept it, and even added an extra five hundred taels of silver to polish the pen.

Of course, such news shocked many people and made them extremely unhappy, especially Ye Zhichao and others who were beaten like dogs on the Korean battlefield.

They are also very skilled in internal fighting. They immediately put people in the newspapers to denounce them, and directly complained that Song Yu was a fake and lied about military intelligence!

Just when some people believed their words and began to angrily complain about the fraud, the second telegram was sent out from Vladivostok again.

"At this time, the Yoshino and Matsushima captured by the Japanese Combined Fleet have arrived in Vladivostok. Such a great news should be informed to all the people in the country!"

If the previous power supply was like a storm sweeping across the land of China, then this current power supply is completely like a tsunami, coming directly to cover the sky and covering the earth with a fierce impact!

Ye Zhichao and his gang suddenly became idiots! Including the unscrupulous literati who were bribed by them, the newspapers and periodicals also fell into silence!

How the hell can you question this! Two Japanese battleships were captured directly and docked at the Russian port. Can you lie about this kind of thing? How dare you lie about it?

Every word on the power line turned into a big mouth and slapped them hard in the face.

For a time, the whole country was shocked, and after a short period of silence, there was a big explosion. The people in the country seemed to be celebrating the New Year. The streets in the capital and Shanghai were decorated with lights and colorful, and firecrackers were set off. Everyone who participated in the Qiao family

The status of the businessmen group under this plan has skyrocketed at the same time!

In such a precarious season, the Chinese people have been suppressed for too long.

When the old man of the Qiao family, who had retired, was traveling in the provincial capital, he met the governor of Shanxi. The governor actually took the initiative to avoid him and showed respect.

Not to mention the uncle of the Qiao family who is still staying in Shanghai. Consuls and envoys from various countries in the concession have sent messages, inviting him to cocktail parties and the like, and his status has skyrocketed.

What's more, there are many wealthy businessmen who have also extended their olive branches. I hope that when the Qiao family is planning to plan such an action again, they must bring them with them! For this purpose, they can even pay a sum of money in advance.

This kind of behavior of directly visiting the door to deliver money without any plan really shocked the Qiao family!
