Chapter 684: The Great Drought in Guanzhong
Cixi fled here in the west, and naturally wanted to see Wei Guangtao, the governor of Shaanxi, because there was a foreigner killer on the road, in order to be in case she was not easy to reveal her identity for the time being, she sent someone to the governor's yamen to inquire but learned that in broad daylight, the governor was not there.
It is said that the factory was built?
Let the convoy stop near the yamen, Cixi still wore coarse cloth clothes, and the two lamas around her changed into cloth clothes as bodyguards, and went to see for themselves what Wei Guangtao was doing with this old thingβnow she was angry.
Guangxu's body was placed in the car, the weather was hot, the smell was quite bad, and it couldn't be thrown away.
As a result, Cixi was surprised to find that in the distance, a worker (the nobles of the Qing Dynasty after the Westernization Movement also knew the word worker) were busy up and down, building a huge steel tower, these workers were in full swing to erect the steel, splicing together, many of them were shirtless with sweat beads flowing on their bodies, and they were still shouting and singing:
"We workers have power, hey! We workers have power! Busy at work every day, hey! I was busy with work every day, built high-rise buildings, built railways and coal mines, and transformed the world into a different place! Hey! The machine rumbled and the hammer clanged! caused the plough hoe to produce well, and caused the guns to be sent to the front! β
"Hey, hey, hey! Our faces glow red, and our sweat beads are dripping down! Why? For liberation! Why? For liberation! Ay! Hey! Ay! Hey! For the complete liberation of China! β
The songs "We Workers Have Strength" and "Unity is Strength", "Agrarian Revolution Song", etc., are all songs written by Yan Luo for the "Five Elements League" in the mausoleum palace after cultivation, the tune is simple, and the lyrics are also catchy, and ordinary people have no entertainment at all in this era, and these songs immediately spread.
I have to say that singing this song when I am working, it is quite emotional.
Cixi's hidden strength as a Lafayette is actually very strong, as a ruler is very contemptuous of workers and peasants, but seeing the scene in front of her, and hearing such lyrics, a sense of fear rose in her heart for no reason, she gritted her teeth, and her face behind the veil had become iron-blue.
"Great rebellion, great rebellion!"
Angry and fearful, Cixi looked at an old man who was directing the workers to work in the distance, she recognized it as Wei Guangtao, the governor of Shaanxi, and wanted to kill him immediately, and kill all these workers, but she saw a "foreigner" (Tesla) standing on the iron tower, and Cixi, who was now afraid of foreigners, still held back this idea.
Wei Guangtao, who was watching the workers build the second Woden Crevo Tower on a big rock, was also quite emotional, these workers of the Five Elements League who came out of Xi'an City, showed this kind of masculine spirit and strength, which he could not see in the common people in the past, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the bureaucrats and gentry were arrogant one by one, and the workers and peasants were submissive.
Now, he saw a high vigor in his singing and labor.
"Let's go!"
Cixi didn't dare to look at it more, these workers and the rebellious songs made her afraid from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't want to stay for a minute, and at the same time she also realized that what was definitely going on in Shaanxi Province, the iron tower built by these workers couldn't understand plus there were foreigners, plus Qin Shi Huang was out of the Lishan Mausoleum, in her inference, it was likely that the Seven Nations Alliance and Qin Shi Huang reached an agreement after the first battle in the Forbidden City.
She already knew about the Forbidden City Treaty, and maybe there was an additional agreement, and the foreigners must have been sent to help build the factory.
Xi'an City is not afraid if it is the old nest of Qin Shi Huang, Cixi is not afraid, because the Qin Dynasty ruled the world by law, and the second died, why? Is it really because of the harsh laws and the project that the people are miserable? I'm afraid not necessarily, but one thing is certain that under the law, the gentry will definitely be unhappy, and for thousands of years in China, the nominal emperor is actually the bureaucratic gentry who rule the world.
Confucianism was also a representative of the scholar clan and hated Qin Shi Huang to the extreme.
The local tyrants and landlords and gentry of Xi'an, can they let a tyrannical person like Qin Shi Huang be the emperor?
But if it is foreigners who support it...... I'm afraid the gentry didn't dare to resist.
After returning to the convoy, Cixi immediately ordered: "Go, leave Shaanxi." β
"Aren't you going to Xi'an?"
"No, as soon as he entered Guangxu, Shaanxi, he was assassinated by foreigners, and now the foreigners are building factories here and engaging in the east and west, and there must be dangers in Xi'an! I'm afraid I'll be caught there. β
"Then Lafayette, where are we going?"
Seeing that her subordinates were waiting for instructions one by one, Cixi thought for a long time and said, "You can't go back to the capital, and you can't stay in Xi'an...... Then go to Hefei! β
"Hefei?"
Hearing Cixi's decision, these people were a little puzzled, but immediately some people understood: "Hefei, neither south nor north, neither east nor west, we have the next place to flee if someone attacks us in any direction, and it is the hometown of Lord Li Hongzhang, run by Lord Zhongtang, Hefei is not as barren as other places, Lafayette has chosen a good place." β
"Yes, Lord Zhongtang is wholeheartedly for the country, and he has some hope for defecting to him, and he will not be displaced."
"Relying on the financial resources of Lord Zhongtang, I can also build the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible and let the emperor be buried."
Everyone praised it.
The convoy turned around and no longer headed for Xi'an, but towards Hefei.
Not to mention that Cixi and his entourage changed the target, Yan Luo exploded with a shot Guangxu and rode a battery car leisurely, the appearance of this heroic soul clone is more special, too eye-catching, so he specially changed into a black robe with a hat, which is the kind of death cloak that even covers his head, of course, even if he does not show his face and rides this Tesla electric car, it is also very eye-catching.
The current mountain road, thanks to Qin Shi Huang is mercury body body, for ordinary people, the bones will be torn apart, and there is no highway, plus it is an electric car is not necessarily much faster than a horse, it is estimated that it will take 5 to 7 days to arrive.
But on the second day of riding, Yanluo sensed that something was wrong.
The dragon vein was beheaded, and it was not only the Qing Dynasty that was unlucky, after all, the Qing Dynasty now ruled the whole of China, which means that China's luck was cut off by the Tiancong Cloud Sword, and natural disasters immediately broke out!
In the entire Yellow River Basin, the Guanzhong region ushered in a severe drought.
The road is full of cracked earth, the loess that has cracked countless holes is as if Yanluo has seen it in the world, those terrible scenes in the propaganda film of the African famine, some of the fleeing people struggle with sticks, hoping to escape from this deadly land, and the road is full of dead bones.
"Even if the dragon vein is cut down, there shouldn't be such a big drought breaking out immediately!"
Yan Luo looked at the sky and felt a surging aura, and in the distance of the horizon, there was a scorching red glow of flames.
"There's a demonic spirit!" Qin Shi Huang Yan Luo said lightly.
