A year has passed, but Cixi still failed to solve this problem.
Now Cixi is always thinking about solving this big problem quickly.
It was at this time that the county Wang Yi came running.
After Yi came to Cining Palace to pay tribute to Cixi, Cixi asked, "What can I do for Yi to see me in Cining Palace?"
Yi hurriedly said, "Lafayette, the Boxer Rebellion in Zhili Shandong has become more and more outrageous. Some time ago, they captured Zhuozhou and drove all the official departments in Zhuozhou magistrate’s office away. The foreign religions in Baoding were greatly rushed, which caused great dissatisfaction among the powers. What do you think we should do with the Boxer Rebellion?"
Cixi looked impatient and said, "How to deal with it? Without a thing like this, you also come to ask me, can’t Manchu Chao Wu even endure a small boxer? A bunch of waste! "
Without a word, she hurriedly bowed her head. Cixi has been very angry these days. Be careful when you see who scolds who doesn’t even escape Li Lianying.
Yi said carefully, "Lafayette is a great boxer now. I heard that all of them are invulnerable and have the protection of the Virgin. Even foreigners can’t resist them with guns and guns!"
Cixi took a deep look at Yi and said, "Yi, what are you trying to say?"
Without a word, he quickly replied, "Lafayette is a slave. Do you think we can enlist these Boxers? If all these boxers can do what we can, it will be a powerful guarantee for us. I’m afraid that Zhang Yi in the north, Russia in the east and Japan in the east can’t stand the invulnerability of these boxers. Besides, they are now more than 100,000 people. Some people say that the number of Boxers has exceeded 200,000, which will be a huge force, even stronger than Beiyang!"
Cixi nodded and said, "It seems that you have a good heart. If the Boxer Rebellion can really serve the imperial court, it is indeed a good boost. These people are all ignorant of manners and loyalty. Once something goes wrong, it is also a great disaster. Ai Jia has not made up his mind what to do. It is really a headache to suppress or caress."
Two people were talking when a little eunuch broke in and said, "The Ministry of War of Galeries Lafayette is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Cixi frowned and said, "It’s really a restless day to invite him in."
After a short time, the priest came in and kowtowed, saying, "I received an urgent report from Shandong Province that the Boxer Rebellion in guanxian, Shandong Province gathered people to make trouble and expel foreign priests to burn the church. Recently, I even besieged the Anglican priest Bux to death. The governor of Shandong Province, Yuxian, dared not ask the court for a decision!"
Cixi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How did such a big thing happen? How did this Yuxian do something in Shandong? It turned out that the Boxer killed foreigners, which would cause international disputes!"
He whispered, "Lafayette Yuxian sent the boxers to the local Boxers in the Ministry of War because they supported the righteous people of the imperial court and the local foreign religions in Shandong Province. By virtue of the power of the great powers, they could not oppress the people and the local people could not bear to be humiliated. Finally, the conflict intensified, which caused such bad things."
Cixi asked, "Xu Qing’s life has died now. Do you think this matter should be handled like this?"
Xu Yi replied, "In addition to this, the Lafayette minister is afraid that the British minister’s protest will come soon. Now we have to appease the British first, otherwise it is not good for us to entangle!"
Xu Yi had just finished saying that the little eunuch came running in a hurry and said, "Let’s start talking about Lafayette’s prime minister’s affairs, and the deputy minister of the yamen, Qixiu, asked for an audience."
Cixi rubbed her forehead. What happened today? One by one, this man came to the court and said, "Tell him to come in."
Qixiu walked into the room and knelt down and said, "Galeries Lafayette recently burned down the English church because of riots by a generation of boxers in guanxian, Shandong Province. His colleague killed the Anglican priest Bux, and the British minister John Newell Jordan met with me and submitted a note to me, expressing his serious protest and demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished and that all losses be compensated to the British."
Cixi’s face is gloomy, but it never rains but it pours.
Cixi asked, "Just tell me what we should do?"
Xu Yi replied, "After all, we don’t make sense about Lafayette. We killed the British, even if we didn’t give a definite account."
Cixi asked, "What to explain?"
Xu Yi hesitated and said, "Lafayette minister, we must severely punish the perpetrators and send troops to annihilate the Boxer Rebellion, and at the same time reprimand Shandong Governor Yuxian for transferring." Qixiu also quickly echoed, "Lafayette slave Xu Yi said that it is reasonable, and we must give Britain a definite answer, otherwise we are afraid that it will lead to international disputes and war!" Cixi sighed and said, "Hao Qixiu went to Yuxian Shandong as governor and ordered Feng Guozhang to temporarily act as Shandong governor to send troops to destroy the Boxer Rebellion!"
Chapter six hundred and nine The Boxer Rebellion
After hearing Cixi’s words, I felt a shock in my heart, and the tunnel was not good. How can this Lafayette recruit the Boxer Rebellion? How to drive away foreigners? How to push the baby to the big treasure?
Without a hurriedly kneel replied "galeries lafayette slave have something to say.
Cixi looked at Yi and said, "What happened to Yi?"
Without a word, she replied, "For such a thing as Lafayette’s slave, we will transfer Yuxian and then compensate the British for the loss and punish the perpetrator. The Boxer has openly played the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries. It is the court’s help. If we just destroy the Boxer because of such a thing, we will be afraid that it will get cold. The slave is still wooing us, and now foreigners’ appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It is not a good idea for us to compromise blindly. It is better for us to enlist the Boxer and let them fight with foreigners to the death. We need to sit and watch and see what
Cixi was lost in thought when she heard the words. Xu Yi said, "Galeries Lafayette, Lord Yuxian is also trying to impress the Lord in public. I think we can also try to see if the Boxer Rebellion can do what we want …"
Cixi said, "Do you recognize the Boxer Rebellion?"
Without a word, he hurriedly replied, "Galeries Lafayette has openly played the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries. Those boxers are simple people, and some martial arts experts have formed the leaders of the Boxers. They are also warm-blooded and benevolent people. They will definitely support them, and Galeries Lafayette, as you can see, the western powers have now developed to directly interfere in our affairs, and they are acting like emperors …"
Without saying anything, Cixi’s face became gloomy and she shouted "unbridled!"
Without a word, I also felt some ambiguity in my speech, so I stopped at once. Yes, Galeries Lafayette is the queen mother, and foreigners are too emperor. Can’t it be two people? Without a word, I can’t wait to give myself a loud mouth, so I can make mistakes.
Cixi angered, "Don’t pay attention to your dog’s mouth, so I will take your head off if I don’t care about my family!"
Yi quickly pleaded guilty and said, "I don’t want to say anything to death. Please ask Lafayette to deal with it!"
Cixi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, foreigners are really cruel. We can’t be so bossy. After all, it’s our family. They foreigners can’t impose interference, so they do it. The purpose is to go back to Beijing to report to the Shanxi Governor’s Boxer. At the same time, Feng Guozhang transferred the Beiyang New Army to put pressure on the Boxer. We should not only give them sweet dates, but also show them. Otherwise, they won’t just listen to us. Foreigners should also crack down on their arrogance!"
Qi Xiu heard this and said in great alarm, "The Queen Mother is afraid that it will arouse the anger of the great powers, especially the British Empire."
Cixi firmly replied, "Don’t say that it is aimed at appeasing the Boxer. You are responsible for summoning the leaders of the Boxer to settle down and give them some financial assistance. Just teach the Qing Dynasty to make all kinds of troubles. Now it is time for them to pay the price!"
I was overjoyed to get Cixi’s will and kowtowed quickly. With Cixi’s will, I will use the power of the Boxer to deal with the powers, and then I will be famous!
The crowd dispersed from the DPRK.
Yi hurried back to his own house and Lan returned to wait for him. When Yi came back, he quickly asked, "What happened to Brother?"
Without a big laugh "brothers become things become! I have successfully told Lafayette that he also allowed us to recruit the Boxers to use the power of the Boxers to deal with the powers and ask us to drive them away. Then there will be no obstacles for Pu Yi to ascend to the throne. Just relying on Zhang Dong, Liu Kunyi and other old guys will definitely not stop our strength! "
Lan smiled. "B-brother, it’s best to involve Prince Qing in this matter. He has always been dissatisfied with westerners, so we can draw it over. His prestige in the DPRK can make us rely on it a lot."
Without a word, he nodded and said, "Brother Qing, I will personally contact you, and a few close officials will immediately rush to all places to recruit the Boxers to organize the Boxers to tear down foreign churches and punish foreigners. Let’s brothers have a big fight this time!"
After getting the true will of Cixi, Yi never had any worries. He personally said that the celebration of the Prince Xun was unanimous, and then he personally went to Shandong Lan to go to Baoding to recruit the Boxer Rebellion.
Boxer leaders have long been looking forward to their slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries being recognized by the court, and they are naturally overjoyed to see the court appealing.
After many consultations, Yan Qin, Sanduo Zhao and Zhu Hongdeng, the three leaders of the Boxer Rebellion, were ordered by the imperial court to be in charge of leading the Boxer Rebellion in Zhili, Shandong Province, and the leaders of the local altar leaders were also ordered to be guerrilla generals and other positions to directly introduce the Boxer Rebellion into the army establishment department for reorganization.
After two months, the further integration of the Boxers broke out with even more amazing destructive power. After all, although these people have certain organizations, they are just a group of refugees who have no discipline. They wantonly destroy churches, burn and kill parishioners and priests, and at the same time bring disasters to local people.
However, at this time, Yi Yi has fallen into madness, which directly led to the recruitment of some boxers from Zhili to the capital to enhance their strength. What’s more, now the Boxers have been supported by the imperial court, and many ordinary people have joined the Boxers. Not only that, but the local green guards of the North Korean Armed Forces have joined the Boxers, making the Boxers more and more powerful, and the trend has already crossed the mountains and seas and poured into Mukden! It was not until the year approached that something terrible finally happened. In January, a boxer of the Boxer Regiment mixed with many Dong Fuxiang Ganjun directly attacked Dongjiaominxiang, and three foreign diplomats were beaten to death by boxers. At the same time, several foreign priests and dozens of parishioners were beaten to death. At that time, national uproar and dissatisfaction finally broke out in China!
Chapter six hundred and ten Ministers’ Meeting
The British Empire legation in Dongjiaominxiang Now, ministers from all over the world have come to John Newell Jordan, the British Minister, for advice. Beijing and John Newell Jordan are the big brothers among the foreign ministers, and his own skills are handy among the John Newell Jordan ministers.
Korner, the French minister, said urgently, "Mr. John Newell Jordan, now we can’t go in silence. Look at them. These mobs have already attacked the embassies of various countries. I don’t know what the chaos has become. The citizens, property and lives of our country have been greatly threatened. We must make a definite response. Otherwise, if more news comes back to China, we will face increasing pressure!"
On one side, Russian Minister Mu Dan also said, "Yes, Mr. John Newell Jordan, we must decide. Together, we will send an international note to the Qing government to let them dissolve the Boxer Rebellion and compensate us for our losses. We must severely punish the perpetrators and hand over all the ministers who safeguard the Boxer Rebellion to us!"
John Newell Jordan sink a way "is that we must act now. We will make an appointment with the Prime Minister at this time and ask him to give us a definite statement. If the Qing government doesn’t come up with a definite attitude, let’s give them a hard time! If you don’t clean them up for some years, they will become more and more arrogant! "
Cleander, the German envoy, replied, "Mr. John Newell Jordan, you also know that the Republic of China will not sit idly by and let us send troops. Once the Chinese tiger of the Republic of China moves, it will cause great trouble. His hand is now stronger than Ma Zhuang!"
John Newell Jordan sneer at a said "zhang yi? He is not so bold, and no country in the world dares to compete with us. Don’t say that he is a small Chinese Republic, and even our British empire dare not take advantage of natural enemies! Just because of him, he can’t afford to turn over such a big storm. Let’s see that we suddenly tore up the warship trade contract six months ago. Does he dare to fart and not compromise with us? "
Cleander heart a sneer at didn’t answer John Newell Jordan darling compromise? You guys are so stupid! Didn’t you see that many benefits of the Republic of China were taken away by us and the Americans? Didn’t you see that Zhang Yi took this opportunity to poach a large number of naval engineering talents from your British empire? After all, you are a group of idiots!
Korner went on to say, "Mr. John Newell Jordan protested and asked the Qing government to give a definite answer. On the one hand, what we have to do is to send troops immediately! Now our legation is facing a strong threat from the Boxer Rebellion, and we must have enough troops to protect us! I suggest mobilizing your country, ahava, to recruit mercenaries and rush to Beijing. At the same time, all countries coordinate and organize an army to safeguard our interests. If the Boxers dare to mess up again, we must resolutely give them a beating and hurt them! "
John Newell Jordan sneered, "Well, now there are more than a dozen warships in our countries off the coast of Tianjinwei. Please ask your envoys to unite the warships of various countries and ask them to immediately organize troops to land from Tianjin and rush to Beijing. We must let the Great Qing Dynasty know that our powers are inviolable!"
Korner went on to say, "Only those dozen warships are still too few, only a few hundred people, and because there is no war against them, we may not have enough weapons and ammunition. We must organize an army of at least several thousand people. I suggest that a joint force of various countries should be formed immediately and that a truly good general should be appointed as the commander to command our war!"
Zhu Erdian nodded and said, "Although our troops are not sufficient, the commander is ready-made. Now, General Seymour, commander of the East Asian Fleet of the British Empire, is staying in Hong Kong. I immediately sent him a letter asking him to lead us in this operation!"
Mu Dan replied, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Russian empire still has 100,000 troops stationed in the Far East at any time to support other countries. We want the Russian army to take the Pacific fleet warships for ten days to occupy Tianjin, and then the whole Qing government will not be kneaded by us."
John Newell Jordan glanced at Mu Dan coldly and said, "Mr. Mu Dan, don’t forget that the bottom line of our British empire is to maintain the status quo of the Qing Dynasty. I hope that your Russian empire will not break through our bottom line. No country in China can take it for itself. Neither can our British empire, nor can your Russian empire. China is still an independent country!"
