Chapter 78 Lafayette wants to single out the world

Shandong is happy, and other places are tragic. If the Boxers couldn't stay in Shandong, they had to find another way out.The "righteous people" at that time hated everything foreigners had, so naturally they didn't know how to take trains or ships. If they wanted to move their homes, they could only walk or "walk on donkeys." If the means of transportation are not strong enough, it will not be far.Where can I go?Hebei!Hebei is the first choice for the Boxers to relocate! As a result, by 1900, the number of Boxers in Hebei had grown to millions.Hebei is so close to Beijing that even Empress Dowager Cixi was impressed by the invulnerability of the Boxers!

Cixi was not a particularly enlightened figure, and she was also bullied by the foreign powers. She was repeatedly forced to pay compensation and cede territory to seek peace. The millions of boxers who "helped the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the foreign countries" gave Cixi the hope of counterattacking against the big powers. But many years of political career has taught her to be cautious. She still can't fully trust the Boxers, so she has to send a few courtiers to find out the truth before making a plan! Therefore, Cixi sent Zhao Shuqiao, the mayor of Beijing (Shangshu Zhishuntianfu) who is resolute and a minister-level conservative party leader, to investigate.

What Cixi didn't expect was that the results of this investigation had been written before the two buddies left Beijing, and then the two traveled around with Cixi's investigation funds at public expense.After returning, the two reported to the Queen Mother that the Boxers were patriotic and loyal people, and they were indeed not afraid of any guns. Cixi is really old, she actually believes that a Boxer fan like Gangyi can make a fair investigation! Next, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the Boxer Regiment to march into Beijing to personally meet their leader (big brother) Cao Futian. At this time, Zhu Hongdeng had been killed in Shandong.After Cao Futian used his invincible body protection skills to perform the stunt of "invulnerability", he confidently assured the Empress Dowager Cixi: My magic can kill all foreigners in the world.

After Cixi watched and listened to it, she was deeply satisfied. I don't know if Cixi was dazzled by the "excellent situation" or if she was really old and confused.Although you don't understand science, you should understand that it is possible to be invulnerable with a knife, but it is impossible to be invulnerable with a gun!At least Lafayette, you can do an experiment, let Cao Futian shoot his ass with a gun after reciting the mantra, and see if Mr. Cao's buttocks can withstand the impact of the bullet! There is also a completely opposite possibility.Cixi is very smart. After watching the performance of the Boxers, she found out that it was tricky, but she didn't tell it.Because she believes that although Kung Fu is fake, but people's hearts are real, she can use the Boxers to fight against the foreigners, and bargain with foreigners through "the power of the masses".

When Cixi was studying how to use Cao Futian and others, the big powers no longer planned to give her time. The big powers couldn't wait for Cixi to suppress the Boxers, so they decided to do it themselves: first they sent troops to Beijing to station foreign embassies, and then assembled fleets to enter Beijing Dagukou, the gateway to Tianjin, asked Cixi to hand over the Dagu Fort. The situation is critical, the great powers are bullying people too much!What should Cixi do?If you don't do it, you will never stop, let's fight with the great powers! On June 21, 1900, the Empress Dowager Cixi, the de facto supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty, issued a shocking edict, declaring war on all the powers in the world that had diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty.It must be emphasized here that the edict did not specify the specific countries that declared war, but used a contemptuous pronoun "they".

The Guinness Book of World Records has since been rewritten, and China's Empress Dowager Cixi has become the only person in history who singled out the world, and she is still a woman!How many men are really ashamed! All countries in the world couldn't believe their ears at first, and they were all taken aback when it was confirmed that such a strange thing really happened. After the ignorant madness, the body must be smashed to pieces. Cixi, who suffered from madness, led the Chinese nation to a catastrophe... For a time, the chaos was exposed, and the country had no peace. The incident happened in the Gengzi Year, known as the "Gengzi Incident" in history. .
