Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"No, no, no …" This can't be shown to you. This is my personal diary. It records all the trivial things that happened in my family... "This has nothing to do with archaeology..."

I don't know how to bite the left side of his mouth, but I can't just tell him that I spied on you last night and the night before yesterday, and you've got a lot of sketches of the artifacts in your diary!

Yes, one of them was the design of the stone sculpture of the god of victory, Zoroaster!

He couldn't say this out loud. If he said it out loud, wouldn't he admit that he was a petty person who was peeking?

He was so angry that he complained to Shang Tai a few times, but Shang Tai was after all, a King himself, he did not have the same pettiness as the merchants of Liu-Li Factory.

"Don't be angry, I have other people's secrets, it's fine if you don't give it to me …" "Mr. Samuel has also shared a lot of clues regarding cultural relics. I should thank him!"

"Thank him? Aiyo, my good prince! You are too easy to talk to. He was the one who took advantage of us … we should not have brought him on this trip to the Dunhuang! "

Unable to get any support from Shang Tai, the left side turned around and reported to the back angrily … It turned out that this month, Fu Qing's Great Clear Telegraph Office finally managed to master the telegraph line that led from Xi'an to Lanzhou. At this moment, the telegraph line was doing its best to cultivate westwards along the ancient silk road.

Not to mention that Qing Government was corrupt and not corrupt, incompetent and not useless … In fact, as long as any government was willing to spend money and place the strictest military order, the efficiency of the task would not be reduced.

Cultivating telegraph line was not a complicated high-tech industry, how could ordinary people not know how to dig wooden stakes? What's so hard about carrying rolls of wire on a pole?

If you want to be fast, then go ahead with your troops! Of course, Zuo Zongtang knew the benefits of telegraph line, so when the army followed the ancient route to the Guizhou, he had already ordered the troops to first dig out the poles, and had done half the work.

This is also due to the transport conditions, hundreds of tons of imported wires hoarded in Xi'an have to be transported westward by the most backward means of transport.

Otherwise, as long as the electricity was supplied fast, Zuo Zongtang's troops could even cover the whole area!

Right now, the Western Army and the Great Clear Telegraph Office had already formed a very efficient coordination.

The telegraph office staff spread the wires all the way up. Each town had an old staff member who could send and receive telegrams. His job was to manage the telegraph office and he had to train a few apprentices within a year.

Zuo Zongtang and Fu Qing were all high-ranking officials who truly did things, not those princes and officials who just ate and waited for their deaths. Under their management, the Northwest Army information was gradually being teleported.

After asking around, at the end of December this telegraph line would be able to cultivate to the Gu Lang River, and after three months it would be able to cultivate to Jiayuguan, and after four months it would be able to reach Guizhou.

As a result, it was much easier for him and the people behind him to send messages, especially the one on the left who was responsible for the construction of a large museum of the Führer.

He was registered in the CIA, and on the left side, he had even secretly become a member of the outer sect cooperation team.

If he wanted to report this to Xiao Letian, he could ask for help from any of the CIA branch offices, and this telegram would naturally be forwarded to the Patriarch in his stead.

The left side of the road, on the eve of Expedition's departure, wrote down the information of Sai Mouerbeike, the Englishman who had cut in line, on a thin silk silk, and used CIA's carrier pigeon to fly to Lanzhou.

"This subordinate suspects that Sai Mouerbeike is a thief who has come to China to steal the most valuable cultural relics …"

"In urgent circumstances, I hope the Führer will give us instructions to keep our own treasures!"

After all, the left side did not realize the danger that Samuel was in. From the very beginning, this Liu-Li Factory's Emissary had treated this English explorer as an antique thief.

In fact, whether it was the left wing or the Shang Tai King, they were both cultural thieves in nature, and had collected a lot of European works of art on the left side of Europe.

However, in Egypt, Shang Tai had directly driven into the King's Tomb, pulling all the treasures that he dug out out like a cart!

The Enlightenment period of human history and archaeology was so barbaric. Those scholars were robbers and thieves, and no country in the world had a law on cultural relics.

The treasure from thousands of years ago belonged to whoever found it!

After the complaint, Guizhou finally set off. Before Zuo Zongtang left, he even advised them to rest for a few more months until the spring flowers blossomed.

However, these people could not wait any longer, especially when they heard the guide say that many of the caves in Mogao's cave had already been covered by yellow sand, and that the sand and wind would erode the frescoes every day.

At the end of December 1871, more than a hundred Expedition left the Guizhou, and headed southwest straight for the Dunhuang!

Dunhuang belonged to the ancient Guizhou. Before the Han Dynasty, this place had always been the resting place of nomadic peoples.

After the Silk Road was formed, this was an important place for merchants to enter and exit Lou Lan's ancient country. At one time, it was bustling with activity!

During the last years of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Li Guang's descendant, Li Hao, was able to establish the Western Lion Country, which was the capital of the Western Lion Country.

In the period of the sixteen kingdoms after Wuhu Chaohua, the people of Central Plains did not live in peace. At that time, a large part of the Han people in the north moved to the south, and the Han civilization was preserved in the East Jin Dynasty.

However, there were also a small number of Central Plains Han people who chose to flee to the west, following the ancient Silk Road into the west.

It was these Central Plains intellectuals and artisan farmers who brought back their culture and new technology. In a short period of time, the economic and cultural development of the Dunhuang was like a geyser.

Many of these Central Plains intellectuals worshipped Buddha, and the Dunhuang was the only path that Buddhism had to take to reach the Central Plains.

With the popularization of culture, as well as the high-tech architectural carving skills of the Central Plains craftsmen... Most importantly, these people allowed the economy of Dunhuang to develop.

Rich, skilled and supported by a wide range of people!

Under the initiative of Monk Le Zun, the Mogao's cave finally excavated the first cave, and this project continued from the 16 countries all the way to the Yuan Dynasty!

No matter how the dynasty changed, the Dunhuang never stopped being renovated and excavated. It was simply more prosperous times for more construction, more maintenance in troubled times, and the rulers of the various empires, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, all supported or did not interfere with the Dunhuang's construction projects.

Until the Ming Dynasty, when the fate of the Mogao's cave changed!
