I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

【Popular science continues】

【Steam locomotives were introduced to China during the Qing Dynasty】

【But the journey is not difficult!】

【In 1878, Li Hongzhang prepared to establish the Kaiping Mining Bureau】

【This large-scale new coal mining enterprise is located in Kaiping Town, Tangshan, Zhili Province】

【Li Hongzhang appointed Tang Tingshu as the general manager】

【Three years later, the Bureau of Mines went into operation, employing more than 3,000 people, and coal production increased significantly year by year.】

【However, the means of transportation are extremely backward and mainly rely on livestock trucks and ships. The efficiency is low and the cost is high, making it difficult to compete with imported foreign coal.】

【To improve transportation conditions】

【Li Hongzhang petitioned the imperial court to build a coal railway between Tangshan and Lu】

【Empress Dowager Cixi believed that building the railway in the mine would not cause any adverse effects, so she approved it.】

【Unexpectedly, the news of the accurate performance has just spread】

【Memorials of opposition came one after another】

【Empress Dowager Cixi's determination to build the railway was not firm in the first place. She could not withstand the overwhelming opposition and soon withdrew her decision.】

【Railway construction was stopped】

【Helpless, Tang Tingchou had to find another way】

【He decided to dig a canal between the mining area and 1u】

【The canal was dug from 1u to Xugezhuang, 35 kilometers long】

【However, when he arrived at Xugezhuang, Tang Tingshu was dumbfounded.】

【Because the section from Xugezhuang to Tangshan Mountain has high mountains and steep slopes, there is no possibility of digging a canal.】

【After repeated consideration, Li Hongzhang and Tang Tingshu decided to build an"express road" between the Tangshan mining area and Xugezhuang."】

【Li Hongzhang reported to the court that he only wanted to repair"roads", but Empress Dowager Cixi reluctantly gave the report accurately.】

【What Li Hongzhang built was not a road, but a real railway】

【He hired a Chinese man as the chief engineer to build the roadbed, lay sleepers, and erect rails. It took 5 months to build a railway about 10 kilometers long.】

【The low-key Li Hongzhang dared to use a small locomotive with minimal power as a locomotive】

【However, when the rumble of the train sounded on the Tang-Xu Railway, the opponents of the imperial court still exploded. Some even claimed that the loud noise of the train would disturb the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty.】

【But in fact, the imperial mausoleum located in Malanyu is nearly 100 kilometers away from the Tangxu Railway】

【To come up with such a reason is simply laughable.】

【But at the time, this really frightened Li Hongzhang.】

【Under the opposition of the Qing court, a funny scene finally took place:】

【Coal carts pulled by mules and horses swayed between the rails】

【The Tangxu Railway has really become a"horse road""】

【...】

Good guy, even though I was prepared for it, it was still an eye-opener!

The operations of the Qing government are always refreshing!

The ancients could not suppress their desire to complain

"Darling, I thought it was the foreigners who were unwilling to sell, but I really didn’t expect that the Qing Dynasty was unwilling to buy it."

"Deeply shocked! Today is an eye-opener"

"It’s too outrageous! Such a convenient thing, if the Qing Dynasty had not bought it earlier and used it, he would have worried that the sound it would make would disturb the imperial mausoleum!"

"Railways were transformed into roads, and mules and horses were used to pull trains. The Qing Dynasty was really able to"

"Um, why did the officials of the Qing Dynasty listen to a queen mother? Where was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Um? Brother, you have a unique vision, I am also a little surprised"

"..."

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was no longer able to complain.

As the last feudal dynasty in China, the Qing Dynasty was really unbearable.

After Qianlong, the entire Qing Dynasty began to completely isolate itself from the country.

Forget it.

Even when he saw the interesting things played by foreigners, he turned a blind eye.

There is a minister who wants to do something for the country, but is blocked by many ministers in the court. Even the reasons are so ridiculous!

The most important thing is that the emperor cannot even take power!

Being ostracized by a queen!

Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang looked a little shocked

"Such a huge steam locomotive, pulled by mules? ?"

First of all, whether we can make the steam locomotive move is a question.

Furthermore, even if it does move, the speed...

Through this incident, we can see the general situation within the Qing Dynasty. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Liu Bang shook his head with a wry smile and commented:"The entire imperial court is in a state of decay. It can't hold on for many years without foreign enemies attacking."

Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin looked a little anxious

"this..."

"I don't understand. Even if your interests are affected, there is no need to come up with such a ridiculous reason."

"Also, did this actually happen?"

He could easily see that the officials who came out to dissuade the railway construction were either taking advantage of them or not dealing with Li Hongzhang. Just because of these people's shortsightedness!

The project that benefited the country and the people was forced to be terminated.!

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the light curtain and cursed:

"'Bah! The Manchu Qing Dynasty Hall was filled with smoke and smoke!"

"Even if a good thing like building a railway is to be built, some officials who are short-sighted come out to block it."[]

"If we were in power, we would definitely punish the officials who blocked it!"

"Ask them what their intentions are?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a glimpse of the hidden dangers. Through the construction of the railway, he could guess how corrupt the Qing Dynasty was already! What made him most angry was that the Queen Mother came to power!

The emperor became a puppet.

It was hopeless.

Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi was so angry that he coughed (Hao Wang Hao) Get up.

Still coughing and shouting

"Descendants are incompetent! The descendants are so incompetent that they let a queen mother stand alone"

"Other ministers are also in a quarrel and want me to destroy the Qing Dynasty!"

He was so angry.

He could even think of the scene where people from other dynasties laughed at the Qing Dynasty after seeing it.

Another period.

Qianlong's expression was stagnant and he couldn't laugh at all.

If he said it, the water would be poured out. Go ahead.

All the lofty words were released.

He refused the foreigners' things in the first place, but now he couldn't save his face and asked for them again.

What's more, now everyone in the world knew about it.

Let him beg the foreigners to bring them again, and he still I really couldn't bear the grievance.

Qianlong could only complain in his heart that the steam locomotive was mediocre.

The officials at the time gave good advice!
