Chapter 168: The Tall Church Spire

In the vast desert prairie, there is a line of riders galloping wildly, their faces are smeared with grease, although the spring breeze is no longer cold, but the north is very dry, especially the riders, if they do not apply grease, their faces will be easily cracked and injured. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The dress of this team is very strange, the outermost is the green military uniform of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the inside is a fancy robe. The feet are worn with riding boots, which are made of industrial rubber soles, which are much lighter than the previous combat boots, but not as durable as the previous combat boots, fortunately, each soldier can issue three pairs or more, so the soldiers can still accept it.

Each of these warriors carried a wolf submachine gun on his back, and a rifle and a knife were inserted on each side of the horse. Behind each rider is followed by two to three spare horses.

The group began with more than a hundred people, but as they moved deeper into the grasslands. The team slowly dispersed. One of them, a burly middle-aged man, was separated from his companions at a tributary of the river.

Outside the middle-aged man's green military uniform is a white rabbit skin cape, and with the horse's hooves swinging up and down, two military medals can be seen rising and falling on his left chest. The man's face was tanned and red, and his emaciated face had an anxious look in his eyes, and he had not been home for four months.

A small white dot appeared in his field of vision on the edge of the sky, and he couldn't help but clamp the horse between his legs, and the horse felt the master's command, and the speed increased.

As the sun sets, smoke rises. On the other side of the yurt there was also a herd of cows and horses, and behind the herd were several young children, shouting trumpets and ordering the herd to go to the river to drink.

At this time, the middle-aged soldier and the young man saw each other, the middle-aged man began to shout his son's name, the young man rode a horse to his father's side, the middle-aged man threw his luggage to his son, the son took the luggage steadily, and followed behind the father, the middle-aged man did not stop, but continued to run towards his own yurt on horseback!

Just when I was about to get home, a 7 or 8-year-old girl rushed out of the yurt, and at this time, the middle-aged man jumped off the horse and limped towards his daughter!

The little girl rushed into her father's arms, and the middle-aged man lifted the little girl above her head, and the little girl let out a cheerful and hearty laugh. At this moment, an old man with gray hair and a long beard came out.

After the middle-aged man saw the old man, he put down his daughter, respectfully came to the old man, took the old man's hand with both hands, and then dipped the wine with his right index finger, and took it out like a bullet in the sky.

Dip the wine with his hand again, flick it to the ground, and drink the remaining barley wine in the bowl in one gulp, when the old man took the middle-aged man's hand and came into the yurt together.

The middle-aged son, outside for his father, unloads the horse's belongings and feeds the horse!

Entering the yurt, the old man asked; "Menlubatu, how long can you stay when you come back this time! Are your legs better! Will it still be able to serve? ”

The middle-aged man took off his cloak and revealed his medal of merit, and at the same time his rank, on his shoulders were a day bar, two stars, which was the rank of a lieutenant officer, but these bars and stars were embroidered with silver thread, and it was clear that this was the rank of the militia system.

Menlubatu said; "Abba! Don't worry about my legs, the four legs of the horse are the legs of Batu, I fight on a warhorse, it doesn't matter at all! ”

The old man said; "Your brother is twenty-two years old, he can also join the army, you take him with you!"

At this time, a person came in from outside the door, this person was two meters tall and weighed more than two hundred pounds, so he must come in from the door sideways, otherwise he would get stuck on the door frame!

Menlubatu said; "That horse can carry my sweet brother!"

The little girl also spoke at this time; "Uncle is a big stupid bear!"

Hahaha!

Everyone's laughter rang out in the yurt!

The fat man didn't care about everyone's laughter at all, but sat down by himself, then picked up the milk tea on the table and began to drink it, and then looked up and said; "Brother! I found out in the north that there were also Cossacks! You're leaving me some more ammo! ”

Menlubatu said; "The ammunition and guns you have stored can be armed with a squad, what do you need ammunition for!

And now the provincial government and Lord Sengelin have ordered not to kill these people casually, Ulan-Ude and Uriya Sutai are building railways, and a lot of workers are needed, as long as they can be taken wherever they go, someone will recruit them.

The construction of the railroad is a major event of the Empire, and you must find a way to support it! Got it? ”

The big fat man looked up at his eldest brother, who had been wounded many times in the war and was lame, and asked him to retire, but he himself did not agree. Obviously he doesn't understand what a railroad is!

Menlubatu said; "Now Heilongjiang Province is forming a marine corps and militia division, and personnel are being transferred from Mobei Province and Mongolian Province, this time I was sent to Heilongjiang Province to form an armed police force, and I am going to be promoted again!"

Ahem!

The middle-aged man's coughing did not affect the atmosphere of the scene, and the old man was very happy to see his son's successful career.

Then Menlubatu said; "This time I'm going to stay in the 'broad mountain'. If I want him to go to school to be literate, I will be illiterate, and if I can write letters to others, then I can lead more soldiers to war! ”

Then the little girl pushed her father and said; "Daddy! I'm going too! I'm going too! ”

Menlubatu said; "Good! Good! When you're older enough to take care of yourself, let you go to school! ”

At this time, an old lady came in with her two daughters-in-law, and they came in with hot milk, shortbread, cheese, etc., and began a sumptuous dinner!

Menlubatu stayed at home for only two nights, and on the third day he got up early, packed his bags, and prepared to take his son to Ulan-Ude, where he would first drop him off at boarding school, and then assemble his team to continue eastward.

At this time, the other brothers of Menlubatu also came to see him off, but they just couldn't see his loveliest brother!

As soon as Menlubatu counted the ammunition he had brought back and was ready to distribute to the other brothers, okay! Let this kid steal more than 500 rounds of ammunition, according to the past practice, this kid must be hidden, if Menlubatu doesn't leave, he won't appear!

Menlubatu has no choice but to give the rest of the guns and ammunition to the other brothers, less is better than nothing!

Then Menlubatu set out with his son, heading for the place where the meeting had been booked.

。。。。。。

In Ulan-Ude City, it is said to be a city, but this city is very special, because it has no city walls, which is completely different from many big cities in the interior.

Originally, the mayor thought that everyone would support the construction of the city wall, but he didn't expect that these people had no intention of building the city wall at all.

The mayor's intention to discuss the construction of the city wall turned into a meeting for the construction of railways and roads, and these dignitaries all started by studying the minerals, and the current mode of land transportation is too slow.

Especially after Zhan Tianyou released the whole map of the railway development of the Chinese Empire and announced the standards for railway construction, these big miners couldn't help but build their own railways. Because the investment in the railway was very large, it was obviously unrealistic to rely on government investment, so the Chinese imperial government liberalized the policy of building the railway.

Local governments and companies and enterprises across the country can contract to build railways, but they must be built in accordance with the planning area and the standards set by the government, so as to ensure that after the completion of the railway construction, the whole country will be opened to traffic.

The standard is an international general standard, and the width of the two tracks is 1435 mm, which is the same as that of Europe, so that it can be better linked to Europe. There can be multiple forms of property rights, with the imperial government only expropriating them in wartime and the government maintaining limited control over the railroads in peacetime.

So now the Chinese Empire is setting off a boom in the construction of railways!

In the city of Ulan-Ude, near the central square, an Orthodox church was built, and many Slavs celebrated this joyous occasion, which was not very large and could hold 300 people to pray at the same time.

Coming to the celebration today is Gabry. Mironov, Chirasimov, etc., they were originally important ministers of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, but now the entrepreneurs of the Chinese Empire, their construction companies undertook a very heavy part of the railway construction work in China.

Lumberjacks and laymen, the Slavs did not feel any difference, their lives were much better now than before, they used to eat potatoes every day, but now they can finally change their tastes!

At this time, not far away the mosque sounded the sound of firecrackers, originally in the center of Ulan-Ude Square, there are many other religious churches, mosques, Taoist temples, Buddhist monasteries. Christian churches and even synagogues.

The spires of every church are high, and in the minds of every denomination, their God is "the highest!" ”。

All the races gather! Hundreds of schools of thought contend!

。。。。。。

May 1, 1893, today is the Labor Day stipulated by the Chinese Empire, and the workers of the whole country have a day off, which is the second Labor Day of the Chinese Empire.

It is important to note that workers are reluctant to take time off, as most of the wage system at this time is piece-rate or hour-based. One day off is equivalent to one day less money earned by the workers, and the income of the workers at this time is twice that of the peasants, and the life of the whole family is on the body of a worker, and the life pressure is very high, so the workers themselves are not willing to rest.

More importantly, there were few jobs, and if you could get a job in a factory, you would have a chance to enter the middle class, because the wages in the factories were very high at that time.

However, with the development of the Chinese Empire's economy, especially the acceleration of the country's industrialization process, after the issuance of the Dragon Yuan, after the property rights of the sleeping assets, this injected a lot of liquidity into the empire's economy.

Money is the most watery thing in the world, he must flow to the place with the highest returns, the imperial government completely believes in the policy of economic freedom, even the emperor is to open a company to make money, and low tax rates are also the secret weapon of the imperial government.

After Guangxu was in power, there was no such thing as a treaty port, and as long as there were people in the country, there was a place of free trade, which made the industrious and bold Chinese people begin to be the most shrewd, and practice proved that the Chinese people's earning ability would not be defeated by the Jews.

According to the calculations of the Nanjing government, the total trade volume of the Chinese Empire has now reached 11.3% of the world. The data only calculates the import and export trade volume of the empire, and a large part of the data of foreign joint ventures is not counted, so what kind of economic aggregate the current Chinese Empire has, I'm afraid only a few people can understand.

Due to the large increase in jobs, the workers of the Chinese Empire have a certain bargaining power, and it is obvious that many workers are now daring to fire the boss's squid, if you are not satisfied with the wages you give, I will go to work in other people's factories.

This makes Labor Day, many workers start to have a holiday, and the streets are full of people who come out to play.

Now that the Chinese Empire has completely liberalized its population policy, any nationality, any country, any age, any class of anyone around the world, as long as you come to the Chinese Empire's embassies and consulates abroad and swear to the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire, you will be loyal to the Chinese Empire in the remaining time of your life, and then say loudly, Long live the Chinese Empire! Long live the Emperor of the Chinese Empire!

Congratulations! You have become a citizen of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire will guarantee your property and personal safety.

This made many stateless people in the world come to the Chinese Empire to register the nationality of the Chinese Empire, many of whom are well-known people, and they have been expelled from many European countries, so the Chinese Empire has become their final foothold.

Among them, the Jews who came to the Chinese Empire the most, and the Chinese Empire gave special preferential treatment to these people, and when they returned to China, they could take any merchant ship that could bring them back. Their shipping and food expenses were borne by the government of the Chinese Empire, but it was required that these people be brought to the Chinese Empire alive so that the living could receive the transportation fee.

Therefore, the merchant ships of the Chinese Empire were very willing to come to these Jews who were driven around, and of course there were rich people among these people, and they would also bring their caravans to the Chinese Empire to do business.

They took the merchant ships of the Chinese Empire and brought their families to the Chinese Empire, many of them went to the Grand Duchy of Israel, but more people came to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Tianjin, these coastal and economically developed places.

Now the coastal city is the country of rainbows, where you can meet people of any color, in the beginning, those black people will scare the children who run around crying, but now the Chinese people know that these are very smart.

A black man came to the bun shop, and he wanted to sell steamed buns, and the black man spoke in fluent Chinese; "The hostess! I buy ten buns, can you give me two? ”

But the owner of the bun shop didn't mean to give him a discount at all, the proprietress said; "No, you can't! The rest of your money is going to gamble again! Why don't you give it to me, and I'll give you two buns when you're starving to death!" ”

This black man said; "The hostess! You're so nasty! ”

At this time, on the Wanguo Square in Shanghai, there were a lot of firecrackers, a large crowd of people were rushing towards the square, the fireworks rose one after another, all the people watched the wonderful fireworks show, at this time in the center of the Wanguo Square, the armed police, militia, and royal guards on standby began to disperse according to the established route!

The crowd was constantly crowded backwards, and at this time a convoy appeared, Prince Xiao Alcohol got off first, and saw that he was wearing a white dress, which he had thought of, the same crowd of people, and the blessing of relatives.

But the most important man was different, and the captain of the guard who opened the door said; "Your Highness! You've gotten off instead! ”

At this time, the little prince stepped out of his legs, and after getting out of the car, he raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who made him heartbroken, intoxicated, and heartbroken.

But the woman did not look at him squarely, but spoke very indifferently; "You're a man! Don't be like a woman! ”

The little prince closed his eyes helplessly and clenched his fists. Turn around and head down the hall!

At this time, the crowd next to him cheered, this little prince is handsome, and his status in the Chinese Empire is very transcendent, seeing the angel on the day he and Princess Xenia got married, in this way, he is the first royal family member to marry a foreign princess.

This has made countless Chinese men see the goal of life, and we are also going to marry a foreign girl!

came to the center of the hall, in front of the little prince was an old man, this old man was Guangxu's teacher Weng Tongyi!

The little prince came to the old man and knelt on one knee!

Weng Tonggong unfolded the holy decree and recited!

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!

Prince Wu Di, very respectful, sharp and open-minded, right and wrong, tolerant of people, good heart, wisdom of people, can be of great use!

I hereby crown my brother Prince Alcohol as "Prince of Fuguo Alcohol!" ”

He crowned his son "Prince of Israel!" Open the National Government! ”

Crowned his biological mother Scarlett as the regent queen of the Kingdom of Israel!

Chin this!

The little prince's heart is like a knife at this time, and he forgot to thank him!

At this time, Scarlett pushed the little prince in the back!

The little prince just said; "Minister! Thanksgiving! ”

Weng Tongyi put the edict in the hands of the little prince and said; "Little prince! The old man has been an emperor for three generations! I know the pain of royalty! Please be able to understand the emperor! ”

The little prince took the edict with both hands and said; "Li Zhongtang! How dare this king make a mistake! ”

At this time, Scarlett snatched the edict from the little prince's hand, and then said; "Go to church right now! Don't keep people waiting! ”

At this time, the little prince's eyes were already full of tears, but he looked at Scarlett, but Scarlett didn't pay attention to the meaning of the little prince at all, but opened the edict and looked at the information on it, is it true!

Scarlett didn't look up, she spoke in a tone of indifference; "Let's go!"

The little prince held the saber at his waist in his left hand, slowly lowered his head to wipe away all the tears, and then raised his head to his guards; "Go to church!"

At this time, the road from the square to the Shanghai Orthodox Church has been guarded by the armed police, the army, and the militia, and the little prince's motorcade drove very slowly, and the little prince stood on the car to accept the cheers of the people of Shanghai.

The convoy behind Xiao Wang Ye is the advertising vehicles of various factories and enterprises, and the first in line is the tobacco advertisement "White Horse Cigarettes, Follow the Soul to Travel!" ”。 There is also a line of small print underneath that reads: "Century Friendship Wedding, Royal Designated Cigarette!" ”

The year after tomorrow is the advertising car of the car, clothes, shoes, kerosene, securities company!

After coming to the Orthodox church, the little prince came to the presiding officer and bowed deeply to the priest's position!

The one who presided over the wedding was the queen of the Chinese Empire!

The empress did not wear traditional clothing, but wore the most popular costume in the Chinese Empire, which was very gorgeous, with a long white pleated skirt, a corset, broad shoulders, and a long cloak that mopped the floor.

Wearing a phoenix crown studded with diamonds on her head makes the queen look very noble and elegant, solemn and not sexy!

The queen said; "I'll officiate your wedding, you won't mind!"

The little prince said; "Thank you for your love!"

The queen smiled!

That's when the music starts and the bride is about to appear!

In the sound of music! Princess Xenia, under the leadership of the imperial princess and Princess Rong'an, walked slowly towards the little prince!

The precious concubine handed the princess's hand to the little prince, and the two faced the queen!

At this time, the eyes of the two were full of tears!

Their feelings are very complicated, so complicated that there are no words to describe them. But all this makes people think that they are excited because they can finally stay together for a long time.

The queen asked; "Prince Alcohol of the Auxiliary Kingdom of the Chinese Empire! Will you marry this woman beside you?

Whether it's setbacks, difficulties, illness, or aging, will you ever love her? ”

The little prince said in a choked voice; "I am willing to marry her, I promise, I will always love her!"

The queen asked again; "Princess Xenia! Would you like to marry the man next to you?

No matter setbacks, difficulties, illness, or aging, will you ever love him? ”

The princess's voice was also choked, and she spoke; "I am willing to marry him, I will always love him!!"

The queen said; "According to the rights granted to me by the Huaxia Empire, I now declare that you are already a legal husband and wife, and you can now exchange rings!"

The two exchange rings, and after wearing them!

The queen said; "Do you want the groom to kiss the bride?"

The crowd shouted!

Want! Kiss her! Kiss her!

The little prince was very embarrassed to kiss the princess!

After the little prince got married, he first went to Beijing to meet the benevolent queen mother!

Then I will visit the Americas, which is a future adversary and partner, so keep it up often!

。。。。。。

In Jilin Province's Gongzhuling, this is a small basin-like area surrounded by mountains and inaccessible to people. It is not easy to find such a mountainous area in the vast Sanjiang Plain.

A base of the Quantum Research Institute of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Imperial Academy of Sciences is located here, and it is very strictly guarded on the periphery of the scientific research institute, and there is a battalion of regular army guarding the research institute. Inside a large concrete building. There are a lot of people in white coats who seem to be in a hurry.

In the middle of the central hall is a large pool, and inside the pool is a large iron guy, this guy looks like it's full of rust, but it's very strange that this thing moves.

The liquid in the pool is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, and their ratio is 3; 1. That is, the ratio of "aqua regia", this proportion of strong acid is already the strongest corrosive acid that can be used now.

The acid in the pool is circulating, and the acid in the pool reacts with the steely guys and turns into neutral salts, so the liquid is drawn out. Then re-add the strong acid. This process has been going on for three months, and since Yang Naiquan brought him back from the Arctic Circle, he has started using this method to soak this thing.

But now more than ten tons of sulfuric acid have been consumed, and these acids can dissolve ten Mustang cars, but even the iron lump in this Mustang car has melted, which is very strange, and many researchers now know that they are facing something that they cannot understand.

But Yang Naiquan is very calm, he watches the data records every day, he said; "It won't last long, continue to increase the concentration and let him open it as soon as possible!"

At this time, the lights in the hall suddenly flickered a few times!

Yang Naiquan suddenly shouted; "Power on! Power! Power up! ”

So the researchers were stunned, what was the dean going to do at this time!

At this moment a bald officer of the army major began to look towards a console that had been placed near the window, where there was a large electric switch, to be moved by both hands, and where ordinary people were not allowed to come!

I saw that the major officer took a big stride, and in less than five steps, he rushed to the side of the electric switch, put his hands on the electric switch, and was about to move the electric gate upwards and close the electric switch! His bald head actually hit the iron sheet of the control box, and then he began to roll on the ground with his head in his hands.

At this time, many other staff members also collapsed, some began to vomit, and some struggled a few times before never moving again. Yang Naiquan, the dean of on-site processing, all fell.

At this time, the alarm lights outside were already flashing, and the battalion commander in charge of the guard saw the signal he least wanted to see, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to ignore the explosives on the periphery of the research institute, and all the weapons and muzzles were aimed inside.

Unless the red alarm light outside goes out and the green safety indicator light turns on, no matter what comes out of it, it must be resolutely eliminated! Even if the dean comes out on his own, he will be killed!

The officers and soldiers outside are nervously preparing!

The situation inside is also very dangerous, at this time the person closest to the pool spoke, the voice was very vague, but Yang Naiquan could still hear it clearly!

The voice spoke; "! You're doing this to me unfairly, I've done nothing, why are you doing this to me!

This person shouted loudly to Yang Naiquan!

It's not fair! It's not fair!

Yang Naiquan ignored this person, but slowly walked from the stairs to the electric switch, and he talked as he walked; "When you have the strength to do it, we won't be able to stop you, so we have to act in advance!"

Again, the man spoke; "You let me go! I'm going to get out of here! Never coming back! ”

Yang Naiquan ignored his voice, but closed the electric switch very firmly!

At this time, the staff member seemed even more painful, he crawled over to Yang Naiquan and said, "It's so painful! Let me go! I'm leaving right away and never coming back! ”

Yang Naiquan raised the current to the maximum, and at this time the staff member was no longer moving, and there was no sound, but the pool in the middle was energized. So the liquid inside is boiling.

At this point, all the staff began to gradually regain consciousness, but none of them remembered what had just happened, only that the dean yelled to open the switch. When I woke up, I saw that the dean himself was turning on the electric switch!

The researcher who had just been transformed had fallen into a deep coma!

Yang Naiquan said to everyone; "Just rest for a while!"

At this time, the green safety light outside turned on, and the battalion commander knew that the alarm had been lifted, so he put away his gun and ordered the soldiers to immediately move the explosives around the institute back to the arsenal and try to avoid the scientists!
