Subtitle of this chapter: What's the matter of duel

……………………

"Brother Qingzhi, you are back, how is the situation?"

"Brother Hongjian, fortunately, the British agreed."

"Hahaha, I'll say they'll agree."

Our Master Yuan held Major Cao's shoulder and walked into the living room, sang to the group of people inside, saying, "My friends, the British have agreed to the duel!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Hahaha!"

"Smack!"

In the small living room, cheers, laughter and applause suddenly sounded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Someone opened several bottles of champagne to celebrate.

Since that "high pressure" accepted this duel under the pressure of public opinion, Yuan Yan suddenly began to arrange the funeral... Well, what happened next.

"David Lillian, is your filming team ready?"

The two film workers looked at each other, and the big star smiled and said, "Just just on the phone with Victor, he has now taken the train with his staff and equipment, and he will probably arrive in the evening."

How can you record Master Yuan’s great heroic posture, noble spirit and happy victory without making a documentary?

In the future, these will be historical materials, and they will be spread to the important historical materials when human civilization ends. So the first thing he has to ask is this.

"Very good." He turned his head and asked Miss Pulitzer, "Have the press conference been arranged after the duel?"

Emma smiled and said, "Neo, don't worry. My father and I must have arranged it properly."

After the duel was settled, Yuan Yanshu naturally had to disclose the ins and outs of the duel in front of the media, so that the people of the United States could understand that he was not fighting for himself, but for justice and for his motherland. For the Irish people, how could he miss this opportunity to win reputation? In addition, he could also step on Britain hard.

"Emma, ​​thank your father for me." He then asked, "Louis, John, are your 10,000 check ready?"

These two people also laughed and said, "Neo, your Chinese friend Mr. Meng helped us find a painter, and they are now in the process."

The "check" they mentioned is not a real check, but a large "check" made of cardboard taken at the winning ceremony in later generations. There has been no laser printing these days, so it can only be painted by hand.

At the press conference, our Master Yuan will donate 10,000 US dollars to the producer of the film "The Lonely of Famine" in the name of the winner... Well, it's just right hand to left hand.

"Xiangzi, is the New York market open?"

Luo Puxiang nodded immediately and said, "Okay, okay, we made preparations yesterday. Xiao Lu and Xiao Yang are quite reliable in doing business now."

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat. No matter how many thousand dollars or tens of thousands dollars, it will not bite your hands with a small amount of money.

Yuan Yan smiled and looked around everyone, raised the wine glass in her hand with pride and said, "Friends, CHEERS!"

“CHEERS!”

"In the early morning of May 30, 1832, a young man was unconscious near Lake Glassell in Paris. The passing farmer judged from his gunshot wound that he was seriously injured after the duel, so he carried the unknown young man to the hospital. At ten o'clock the next morning, the poor young man passed away, and the youngest and most creative mind in the history of mathematics stopped thinking. Later, some famous mathematicians said that his death delayed the development of mathematics for decades. He was Evariste Galois, who died at the age of twenty."

"Many outstanding figures like Galova died in stupid duels in history, but some of them added a lot of fun to history."

"In 1808, France staged a high-altitude duel. Frenchman Grandep and Pique had a dispute over a dancer. To put it bluntly, it was actually another story of two boats. It was probably because hot air balloons became popular at that time, and the two finally decided to ride a hot air balloon to have a duel at a high altitude. On May 3, in full view of everyone, the two gentlemen rose to 2,000 feet of air respectively. Both sides started shooting at 80 yards. Mr. Pique, who was unlucky, shot the first bullet and missed the target. Grandep's counterattack effectively hit the opponent's balloon, and the balloon was out of control, and the hanging basket fell over. Pique and his assistant fell from the sky and died in a house in Paris."

"In 1843, there was a "billiard duel" in France. Two French gentlemen, Levante and Melfante, had an argument while playing billiards. The two sides finally decided to use 12 steps to get together to throw billiards in turn. Mr. Melfante was lucky to get the first move, and he also put down his harsh words: he wanted to kill Levante with one blow. As a result, he was hit by him. The first billiard ball with amazing arm strength hit Levante straight on Levante's forehead, and the latter died on the spot. However, as the winner, Mr. Melfante was not happy for long. He was immediately arrested by the police who arrived and was accused of murder and was eventually imprisoned for the crime of accidentally hurting a person."

"In August 1892, in Waduz, the capital of Liechtenstein, Princess Pauline Metternich and Countess Kielmannsegg had a dispute over the way the upcoming concert placed vases. The two sides decided to resolve the issue by a duel. The duel was arranged, presided over and handled the damage caused by the duel."

"Before the duel began, the Baroness believed that the reason why many irrelevant minor injuries caused by duels often caused rot was because the tip of the sword brought the cloth strips of the clothes into the wound. So she proposed a "fashionable" suggestion: In order to prevent this danger, all clothes above the waist of both sides should be taken off during the duel. It is said that this duel was the only duel in history, and it was also the first duel that was not restricted by men, because everyone involved in both sides, including the two victims and assistants, were women."

"On the day when deciding, in the duel arena, all etiquettes were observed, including trying their best to mediate first. After the mediation was invalid, the two ladies began the duel. After several feint attacks and stings, the princess's savage chop made the countess' nose bleeding a little. Seeing the other party bleeding, the princess was frightened, and covered her cheeks with her hands in a female posture. At this moment, the countess suddenly rushed towards the princess and stabbed her with a sword.

Her right forearm, seeing the blood flowing down again, both assistants fainted. The servants and coachmen who were ordered to stand in the distance and faced their backs to the duel scene, rushed over to help when they heard the shouts. However, Baroness Lubinska determined that they were more of a lustful motive, so she beat them with her umbrella and shouted: 'Take your eyes away, and take your eyes away-you lustful people!'..."

"The most famous and interesting duel in history did not happen in Europe but in America. However, neither side of the duel was American. The challenger was Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander, while the challenge was Chinese, Yuan Yanshu. They had a conflict at President Warren Harding's inaugural dance, and then they made an appointment to hold a duel to resolve their conflicts."

"This duel caused a stir in Washington, DC and even the entire United States. Not only were newspapers competing to report that it was a 'War of the Century' or 'East-West War' or 'Sino-British War', but residents near Washington, especially the people of New York, drove or took trains to Washington. Some people joked that it was a 'duel carnival'."

"March 6, 1921, this day was March Sunday, and the weather was quite good, it was a beautiful day to travel."

"At 11 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Yuan Yanshu, surrounded by his friends, left the Rosewood Hotel where he was staying, got into the car he had prepared long ago, and drove towards the duel arena - Fort Myer Racecourse, Virginia. At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander also embarked on this duel with colleagues and expatriates from the British Embassy in the United States."

"After them there were more than one hundred vehicles of various colors, most of which were journalists from major newspapers and a small number of enthusiasts. But as the convoy advanced, more and more vehicles joined in. In the end, the convoy was more than ten miles long. At the same time, several convoys drove from Washington to their destination. According to incomplete statistics, more than 20,000 spectators were present on the day of the duel, including President Harding and his wife and many cabinet officials. In addition, there were many celebrity officials. It was really crowded with people."

"At around 2:30 pm, Yuan Yanshu and Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander arrived at their destination one after another. This was originally a training ground for the Fourth Battalion of the Fort Myer Cavalry. Because Mr. Yuan had a good relationship with Major Barton, who was then the commander of the Fourth Battalion, the latter generously lent the ground to them as a duel field."

"Due to the reason why someone was late due to the traffic jam, they had to wait there for a while. At three o'clock, the host of the duel, the first-class military officer of the Imperial Japanese Empire in the United States, Navy Dasanomura Yoshisaburo, and the invited lawyer of the duel, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, finally arrived at the scene."

"The two sides signed various legal documents under the witness of several lawyers and nearly 30,000 audiences on the scene. Then Nomura Yoshisaburo began to read out the duel rules as the host. This set of rules was invented by Mr. Yuan Yanshu himself."

"Since many people borrowed this set of rules to fight in the future, they were called the 'Yuan Rules'..."
