What joke did Cixi make when she first took the train? Even foreigners are speechless.

During the Qing dynasty, the rulers of the imperial court always pursued the policy of closing the country to the outside world. This policy eventually made the Qing Dynasty accomplish nothing for many years. Until modern times, with the arrival of the era of great navigation, the policy of closing the country to the outside world was broken.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was already in a very backward position in the world, and Empress Dowager Cixi showed an alternative side to these new inventions, which truly reflected what was called feudal backwardness in front of foreign friends. During the Westernization Movement, Empress Dowager Cixi was fortunate to be the first person to get on the bus.

After all, trains have not been popularized in this period, and Empress Dowager Cixi, whose mind is solidified, made a lot of jokes when she first took the train. 188 1 year, Empress Dowager Cixi, who originally agreed to build expressways, learned that these expressways were all built into railways after completion. The pride of Empress Dowager Cixi was a performance art that Zhou Sinong rejected very much.

She thinks the noise of the train is too loud, and the sound of the train scares Cixi, so she thinks the train is an unlucky thing. Then, Empress Dowager Cixi "boldly innovated" and ordered people to take the motorcycle apart and replace it with a horse. A dozen horses pulled the train, and then she went on her way.

Cixi took such a "carriage" for the first time. In fact, foreigners were speechless at that time, but Cixi insisted on this rule for several years. After several years, she changed her attitude and changed the horse-drawn train to normal. However, many jokes were made when she took the train.

The worst is the driver driving on the train. Cixi not only asked the driver to dress up as a eunuch, but also asked the driver to kneel down and not to sit and drive. I have to say that Cixi's move really embarrassed drivers, but there are still many such problems.

Even so, Empress Dowager Cixi could not change her feudal conservative thought, so she played so many jokes on many new things!
