Was the Boxers anti imperialist and anti feudal? What was the significance of the Boxer Anti Imperia

The purpose of anti-imperialism is even greater, and as a violent movement spontaneously initiated by the people, the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners" put forward cannot be talked about in anti-feudalism.

After the fall of Dagukou, the Qing army and the Boxers actively resisted the foreign invaders. Cao Futian and Zhang Decheng, the leaders of the Boxers, led the Boxers into Tianjin to attack the invading army. The governor of Zhili, Yulu, is still in exchange.

With the help of the Qing army, the Boxers fought against Zizhulin and Laolongtou. The governor of Zhili, Yulu, also mentioned the achievements of the Boxers in the memorial.

But at the same time, the Allies rapidly increased their forces. The Japanese attacked Jijiazhuang, defeated the Boxers, and then attacked Nie Shicheng with other allied forces. Nie Shicheng's department failed because it was outnumbered. Nie Shicheng died in Baritai.

After Nie Shicheng's death, Ma Yukun and other Qing generals changed their attitude towards the Boxers. Ma Yukun asked the boxer to fill the void in the vanguard, but shot the boxer in the back. For example, in the battle of attacking the concession at night, "the Chinese soldiers were in the back, the boxers were in the front, and the foreign soldiers attacked the concession together."

Foreign soldiers shot to defend the concession, and at the end of the day, they planned to kill more than 2,000 boxers with knives with their fists, and the foreign soldiers opened fire, killing all the soldiers in front and shooting the officers and soldiers in the back. So there are so many dead people in Xiquan, not all of them were killed by foreign soldiers. Later, Song Qing, who arrived in Tianjin, was also "killed by a group".

As a result, "within half a day, all those who had been on the altars and the flags inside and outside the city were scattered," which greatly weakened their power. However, the Allies, having made adequate preparations, launched a full-scale attack on Tianjin. After the end of the bloody war, the allies, under the guidance of traitors, bombed the city walls, attacked the city, and Tianjin fell.

The Allies established the "Tianjin Metropolitan Yamen" to colonize Tianjin.

The Boxers' way of resisting the Eight-Nation Alliance was very simple and crude, relying simply on brute force and not giving up.

After the establishment of the Boxer Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty agreed to the establishment of the Boxer Rebellion under a very difficult situation. The Boxers demolished the railroad and blocked the path of the invading army. At that time, they were all very brave and gave everything for their country.

The Boxers were very scarce at that time, and they mainly used ordinary knives, spears, earthen cannons, and hoes used in farmers' homes.

He demolished the railway to Beijing, led his troops to attack the Seymour coalition army, and also besieged the Zizhulin Concession in Tianjin, using oxtail to tie firecrackers into the concession and occupy many places. At the same time, they also began to attack the old dragon head station.

The Boxer Rebellion had a strong feudal superstitious overtone. For example, the Boxers believed in "drawing talismans and chanting spells", "possession of gods", "invulnerability" and so on.

These can only be truly explained by the characteristics of the labourers who have produced since childhood: they need a force of faith as a spiritual support beyond the limits of their own narrow experience; And God seems to be omnipotent in these people who have limited knowledge and are closed and backward, and his own magic power is boundless after that.

History and reality have shown that belief in superstition did not only happen to the Boxers, and that all previous peasant uprisings also relied on God. What is more special is that the Boxers not only believe in one God, but rely on "multiple gods", such as some important characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", etc., as well as famous characters on the opera stage and some supermen in folklore, such as Zhuge Liang, Jiang Taigong, Sun Wukong, etc. This practice of inviting gods from the widely circulated popularity**, opera stage, and folklore just reflects that cultural inferiority is the most fundamental reason for the superstition of the Boxers.

Of course, "gods" do not exist, and it is even more absurd to "draw talismans and chant mantras" to "possess the body" in order to "be invulnerable." The actual situation is that in every war, those who believe in guns and bullets are not injured "race to the front, the coalition forces use foreign guns, and the dead are like the wind driving grass".

The lesson of blood made the people realize that the spell was difficult to control the enemy, and the body could not test the cannon. So, why do they always insist on "drawing talismans and chanting spells" to charge into battle? The answer can only be:

The Boxers did not pray for spiritual liberation in religion, but mostly in their form; The reason why they persistently recited the mantra and went into battle, just like the future generations who fought and would "swear to live and die with the position", was to enhance their confidence in winning the victory. That is, behind superstition, there is a real revolutionary fanaticism. In other words, it is also a manifestation of the spirit of patriotism that puts life and death out of the way.

The main thing was the armed struggle in the form of a peasant uprising.

There is an error in Manchuria**.

One point of view is that any mistake of the populace is the fault of the people.

In the Boxer Rebellion, there were also careerists, **, hooligans, hooligans, and hooligans who mixed together and wanted to make a profit.

However, I don't know if it is equivalent to a part of the Boxers. I am a good and upright citizen. At best, they are fools.

They founded the Boxers because they found life hard and could barely survive.

Have you noticed a phenomenon?

The Boxers were from the north, and the southernmost only went to Shandong and Henan. There were no Boxers south of the Yangtze River.

Why? Life south of the Yangtze River was not bad at that time. No one wants to make a noise.

The most serious Boxer riots were in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei provinces. In the province, which suffered successive natural disasters that year, there were a large number of displaced people.

The life of ordinary farmers is also very hard.

At the same time, at that time, the Manchus were stuck in a semi-colonial society and had to pay all sorts of reparations to foreigners.

To establish a powerful Beiyang naval division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only 10 million taels of silver were needed.

These huge indemnities were finally transferred to the people.

At the same time, in the face of the commercial war of foreigners, it is completely imperfect and does not develop capitalism in its own country.

For a long time, life has become more and more difficult for Chinese, especially northerners.

The solution to all of this is simple. Reform, transformation, learning from Japan, and making the country rich and strong, and making people's lives easier.

However, in order to protect the interests of the Manchu power class, no power reform can be compromised.

Well, the Qing Dynasty could not naturally change the status quo.

The Qing Dynasty was very difficult to deal with the dissatisfaction of the people.

While severely suppressing them, they crusaded against the twisted army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, fought the revolutionary party in succession, and on the other hand, transferred the domestic contradictions to the Westerners.

Just as it is today, North Korea blames US imperialism for all its problems, and this is a rule.

For the Boxers, they were just graduates who were used by the Empress Dowager of the West.

The original composition of the Boxer is complex, for example, Zhao Sanduo, the founder of the Boxer, was originally a rebel against the imperial court. In the last 1901, under the banner of sweeping the sea again, he was defeated by Qing ** and was killed.

However, in order to use the Boxers to confront foreigners, the Manchu Qing resolutely eliminated all the rebellious Zhao Sanduo and other Boxers. The rest listened to his orders and were under his control.

From the point of view of the Empress Dowager of the West, if she could not defeat the Westerners in the army, she would use the chess piece of the Boxer Fist to deal with the Westerners, and put forward conditions after negotiating with foreigners.

If you really can't play, you can exclude the Boxers.

After all, even if there were no Boxers, could they stop the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Eight-Nation Alliance was premeditated and would not have prevented it from happening because of other incidents.

It's notThe Boxer Rebellion was just a pretext for the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China. The Chinese nation has a vast land and countless treasures, and the Eight-Nation Coalition has coveted them for a long time, and there must always be an excuse for waging war. For the cowardly and corrupt late Qing court, it was powerless to stop it, and could only blame the Boxers.

No wonder the Boxers, it's Cixi's loser who is at fault! Declaring war on the eleven nations is crazy enough! He also killed the German Chin Chaklint in Beijing, which annoyed the powers, and the Eight-Nation Coalition fought all the way to Beijing after coming ashore from Tianjin Tanggu, and there was no way Cixi ran all the way to Taiyuan with Guangxu, and then the German and French forces chased after him, and he could only flee west to Xi'an!

No, in fact, the root cause is that they want to plunder profits.

The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the peasant class. The Boxers were originally known as Boxers, and their participants were called "boxers" and derogatorily called "boxers". Yihequan was originally related to traditional folk secret religions such as the White Lotus Sect, which had long been popular in Shandong and Zhili (present-day Hebei Province).

Objectively, the Boxer Rebellion prevented the imperialist powers from carving up China and promoted the awakening of the broad masses of the Chinese people. In October 1898 (September of the 24th year of Guangxu), the Yihequan of Guanxian County, Shandong Province, headed by Yan Shuqin, and Zhao Sanduo of Zhiliwei County, gathered a crowd to burn down the Hongtaoyuan Church and occupy Liyuantun, which shook the adjacent areas of Shandong and Zhizhi provinces and became a signal for the rise of the Yihequan anti-imperialist struggle.

The anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the Boxer Rebellion, which broke out at the end of the 19th century, was a large-scale anti-imperialist struggle among the Chinese people.

The Rise, Development, and Outcome of the Boxer Rebellion (1) Rise: In 1898, Zhao Sanduo of Guanxian County erected the banner of "Supporting the Qing Dynasty and Destroying the Foreigners" and attacked the local church, opening the prelude to the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the Boxer Rebellion. (2) Entering Beijing and Tianjin:

In the summer of l900, the Boxer Rebellion developed into the Beijing-Tianjin area; The Qing ** switched to the method of "appeasement" and acquiesced in the Boxers as legitimate militias, and the Boxers poured into Beijing and Tianjin. (3) Resist the Eight-Nation Alliance: Langfang Sniper Battle, Tianjin Defense Battle.

The Boxers besieged the Xishiku Church and the embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane. (4) Failure: On the way to the west, the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the Qing army to brutally suppress the Boxers.

Under the joint strangulation of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, the Boxer Rebellion failed.
