Cixi, who knew that the Boxers were unreliable, why did she blindly indulge them in the early stage?

<> the Boxers at that time, what they did was very excessive, the origin of this Boxer Rebellion, was in Zhili, Shandong in some places of the Boxer people, at that time, because of the slogan of helping the Qing to extinguish the ocean, the Qing ** at that time looked at this line, just help me, at that time the Qing ** was very collapsed, and then there was no way to have better than nothing, so I recognized the Boxer at that time, at that time the Boxer was recognized by the imperial court at that time, and it was a cow at that time. <

At that time, the Boxers entered the capital, and it could be regarded as doing things, and they beat the foreigners at that time, no matter who they were, as long as they were foreigners, and burned down some foreigners' churches, which angered foreigners. What was the essence of the Boxers at that time, that is, some people, to put it mildly, were all for food, for themselves, and there were a few people who really worked for the country, and they did a lot of outrageous things at that time. At that time, the ruler of the Qing **, the Empress Dowager Cixi accepted the Boxer Rebellion, recognized them, and they went to the front to fight, and she also said later, this is no way, the words have been spoken, at that time, the behavior of the Boxers has already let Cixi know the ability of these people, but it is not easy to say anything, if he comes out to face them, if it is useless, his face will not be able to hang up, so just like this, he admitted them, and they will never do anything to themselves, will also give face, to the person who gave them face, no wonder the Empress Dowager Cixi was able to take power, this is all skills, skills to grasp the situation.

The Boxer Rebellion, in fact, was unreliable, because it was initiated by the main force of the peasants. However, the reason why Cixi had been pampering them in the early stage was because they could play a role in restraining the Western powers.

Although she knew that the Boxers were unreliable, Cixi still wanted to use the Boxers to block the ranks of foreign powers. Because the Boxers fought to "help the Qing and destroy the foreigners", because of the Fuqing, Cixi connived at its development in the early stage, and even wanted to "extinguish the prestige of the foreigners" through the Boxers.

Because at that time, the Qing Dynasty was running out of energy, and foreign forces were eyeing it, and it would be good if there was someone who could resist foreign forces at this time, so even if the Boxers were a rabble, Cixi was unwilling to let go.

The reason why the Empress Dowager Cixi colluded with the foreign powers to suppress the Boxers was mainly because the strength of the Boxers was too strong, and it was difficult to suppress them by relying on the power of the Qing Dynasty alone.

The Boxer Rebellion originated after the First Sino-Japanese War, when the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the war and the great powers began to carve up China on a large scale. At the beginning of the rise of the Boxers, the slogan was "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty", which broke out all over the country, posing a huge threat to the rule of the Qing court, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was also very alarmed and sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Boxers, but the Boxer Rebellion was never suppressed.

Because the Boxers wantonly killed foreigners, but also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Western powers, the Western powers accused the Qing court of encirclement and suppression, and proposed to the Qing court to send troops into Beijing to encircle and suppress the Boxers, although at first the Qing court did not agree to encircle and suppress the Boxers with the Western powers, but with the passage of time, the Qing court became more and more clumsy in the battle with the Boxers, and had to accept the proposal of the Western powers to jointly fight the Boxers. After that, the Western powers sent more than 2,000 regular troops into Beijing to encircle and suppress the Boxers.

Under the double blow of the Western powers and the Qing court, the Boxer Rebellion was effectively suppressed, however, the Boxer Rebellion developed later, the Qing court's attitude towards the Boxers changed, for the Qing court, because the Boxers were against the foreigners, the Qing court could use them to deal with the foreigners, under such a psychological effect, the Qing court decided to appease the Boxers. After that, with the support of the Qing court, the Boxers developed rapidly, and their slogan also became "help the Qing to destroy the foreigners", and soon after the Qing court declared war on foreign countries, due to the backward equipment, the Qing court finally lost miserably in the war with the foreign powers, and even Beijing fell into the hands of foreigners. The Empress Dowager Cixi had to sign the "Xinchou Treaty" with the foreigners to appease the anger of the foreigners.

All in all, the reason why the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to collude with the foreign powers to suppress the Boxers was mainly because the Boxers were so strong that they could not suppress the Boxers with the strength of the Qing court.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was worried that the power in her hands would be snatched away by the Boxers, in order to make the power in her hands more stable, she could only find the powers to help her kill the Boxers.

Because Cixi knew very well that it was completely impossible to suppress the Boxers by relying on the power of the Qing Dynasty alone, she came up with a way to use her strength to fight with her strength, but she didn't expect that she would eventually lead the wolf into the house.

She was afraid of the power of the Boxers, and she had no way to clear the **, which was already corrupt at that time, and there was no way to resist the attack of the Boxers, so she could only collude with the foreign powers to suppress the Boxers.

The appearance of the Boxers had obviously caused some damage to the Qing Dynasty, but at this time, the Qing Dynasty alone could not suppress the Boxers, so the Empress Dowager Cixi simply colluded with the foreign powers in order to keep the Qing Dynasty and her position.

The Eight-Nation Coalition launched a war of aggression against China, and the power of the Eight Nations was so strong, although Cixi and the Boxers cooperated very well in the early stage, but with the expansion of the Boxers' power, Cixi felt the danger, and one day, the Qing ** will be eradicated by the Boxers, plus the strength of the powers is stronger than the Boxers and the Qing **, and finally the arms can't reach the thighs, so they collude with the powers and betray the Boxers.

The first reason is that the late Qing Dynasty was too corrupt, and the domestic army was not only corrupt but also had low combat effectiveness; The second reason is that the power of the Boxers during that period was too strong.

I am afraid that the Boxers and ** will not be compatible.

** It is definitely inseparable from thieves like the Boxers, and only by defeating the Boxers can we maintain national stability. That's why she gave the crazy order to strangle the Boxers.

Introduction to the Boxer Rebellion:

The Boxer Rebellion was a civil organization in the late Qing Dynasty, which was organized by Shandong and Zhili.

The boxer of the belt.

Folk secret societies and organizations for the practice of boxing and martial arts developed.

The Boxer Rebellion.

Also known as the "Gengzi Incident", in a sense, it was a general outbreak of various contradictions in Chinese society since the 40s of the 19th century.

At the end of the 19th century, a completely spontaneous folk movement with a strong and simple patriotic ideology took place in China under the slogan of "Helping the Qing Dynasty and Exterminating the Foreigners", which mainly aimed at the Western invaders and their vassals in China, as well as the scientific artifacts and related people related to the achievements of Western civilization. Facing the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The invasion of the Boxers was cleared.

and put up a heroic resistance.

At the same time, objectively, it has also caused serious damage to the closure of China's modernization achievements since the 60s of the 19th century. Destroying railways and demolishing electric lights. The Boxers had a strong mysticism and used "spells" such as drawing talismans and reciting spells and asking the gods to possess themselves to mobilize the masses, and widely publicized the "holding talismans and chanting spells, and the gods possessing the body" to boost their fighting spirit.

In addition to Buddha and Taoism, there are also gods and monsters and characters in **, operas, and folk tales. The Boxers distributed all kinds of leaflets, unveiled posts, and carried out propaganda in the form of plain language and songs to expel the invaders and defend the country.

The Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China.

Let China completely degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, Qing **.

It also became a tool of the great powers. During its invasion, the Chinese inhabitants did not resist either, most notably the Boxer Rebellion.

In the beginning, the Boxer Rebellion also won Cixi.

But when the Boxer Rebellion had a certain effect, the snake and scorpion ordered to strictly suppress the Boxer Rebellion, and even exterminate the Boxer Rebellion. The two diametrically opposed actions of this hunger were linked to Cixi's own interests, and they were basically to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty. <>

The Boxer Rebellion was originally a non-governmental organization in Shandong Province that studied martial arts, and there were many martial arts masters. Later, the national aggression became more and more profound, and these people began to resist, under the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreigners", while supporting the Qing **, while suppressing the foreigners. This activity attracted the attention of Cixi, who believed that the Boxers would be able to contain the forces of the Western powers and maintain their rule.

Later, Cixi decided to declare war on the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Boxers became part of the army, so Cixi naturally chose to support the Boxer Rebellion. <>

In the early days, the Boxer Rebellion did achieve some results, but as it grew in size, the quality of the inhabitants could not be guaranteed, and some people chose extreme methods, not only setting fire to churches, but also killing the German ambassador to China. This sparked the wrath of the Western powers, who rallied to invade the Qing dynasty and quickly occupy Beijing. Cixi hurriedly fled in a panic and fled to the Xi'an area.

The Western powers also knew that they could not exterminate them all, so they told Cixi that if they wanted to demand peace, they had to suppress the Boxer Rebellion. In order to maintain her rule, Cixi immediately agreed and began to exterminate the Boxers, but in the end the Boxer Rebellion failed. <>

Cixi was the supreme ruler of the feudal Qing Dynasty, and always represented the interests of the feudal landlord class, no matter what she did, in the final analysis, it was to safeguard the interests of her own class, maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and keep herself at the forefront of power. Of course, her act of losing power and humiliating the country also made her stinking for thousands of years, and for a long time after that, she was spurned and abused by later generations.

Because the Boxers later threatened the rule and discourse of the Qing Dynasty, they wanted to exterminate the Boxers.

The Boxers fought against the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Cixi began to support it, but why she argued to exterminate the Boxers was because Zao Qinghan thought that unanimity was beneficial to her rule at the beginning, but she was afraid that the Boxers would damage her own interests, so she laughed and finally exterminated the Boxers.

In fact, it was Cixi who thought about her own interests, essentially to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

As the representative of the landlord class, Cixi was fundamentally opposed to the peasant class, and she used the Boxers, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, the Boxers had no use value.

Because the foreigners wanted to destroy the Boxers, in order to curry favor with the foreigners.

Currying favor with foreigners It's a substitute for the dead.

Because at that time, the Boxers were the only army that organized a resistance, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the army led by the Empress Dowager Cixi was already there. There was no too high combat effectiveness, so Cixi was against the Boxers. That's when attitudes shifted.

The Boxers were known to be invulnerable, and Cixi listened to their lies and thought that she could defeat the Eight-Nation Alliance, but was defeated with a single blow, and Cixi had to deal with the Boxers in turn for her own power.

It may be that after the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, she found that these people were very ** and plundered a lot of property, so the Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude towards the Boxers changed a lot later.

Because at the very beginning, the Boxer Rebellion was born out of opposition, and Cixi had to use the great powers to suppress them.

Because the foreign powers put pressure on Cixi and the Boxers affected the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they suppressed the Boxers.

Because at that time, the Qing Dynasty had become a tool for the great powers to rule East Asia, and although the Boxers were under the slogan of "supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners", they threatened the interests of the foreign powers in China, and the Qing **, as the spokesman, naturally wanted to suppress it.

First, the Qing ** was defeated in the war with the Western powers, and under the pressure of the Western powers, the Empress Dowager Cixi chose to attribute the fault to the Boxers; Second, the Boxer Rebellion covered a wide area of activities, and it was difficult for the Qing ** to suppress it alone, so the Empress Dowager Cixi colluded with the foreign powers to suppress it.

The Boxers claimed that the members were invulnerable and could defeat all the foreigners, but Cixi listened to them, so she chose to support the Boxers.

In order for the Boxers to get their own use. Empress Dowager Cixi turned to the side of the Boxers in order to be able to use the Boxers to maintain her rule.

Because Cixi wanted to use the Boxers against the foreigners, Cixi also hated the foreigners at that time, hoping to use the power of the Boxers to fight the foreigners.
