Just when the fight started on the Fu** side, many people saw one thing, that is, the big bosses in the imperial court, that is, the capital, they seemed to have not paid enough attention to this matter!

If this is also a major military and national event, it is still necessary to subvert your Qing Dynasty. Then, as the central government of the Qing Dynasty, the investment level of this Qing Dynasty is far inferior to that of the past. New...

Basically, some of the Qing court's actions were to command remotely. The central government did not provide much guidance. All the local officials came to quell the chaos, and even a military eunuch, were not there this time.

It's so strange, it's really strange. You know, this is really not in line with the usual practices of the Qing court, and it goes against the ancestral system. But I learned from the Ming Dynasty. Didn't the Qing Dynasty respect the Zhu family as the late emperor?

What does this mean?

Many politically sensitive figures can understand it!

To put it bluntly, the Qing court's current control over local governments is no longer possible, and there is almost no control. The local officials, governors and other people are the real people in power.

So is this true?

Of course it is true, and this state has actually formed very early!

Let’s say that after Zeng Guofan pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he went to the capital to meet Cixi and Prince Gong. There are naturally many stories here, but the most important thing is two words, reimbursement.

What is reimbursement? Most people can understand. According to ordinary people, even if it is Li Mengyang, it is naturally reimbursement.

Reimbursement is not about spending your own money. It’s great if there is a company or a public company to pay for the bill, right?

So, for ordinary people, reimbursement is a good thing, but there is a problem here, that is, reimbursement, so it is not reimbursement at will. When reimbursement is made, you always have to take out the invoice?

In other words, no matter who reimburses you, you always have to know how your money is spent. Then this is actually a right, which can control your rights!

So now, what the Qing court told Zeng Guofan is that they will not reimburse you!

What's this? This is a major event to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Such a major event will naturally cost countless money, but the Qing court will not reimburse this money, so...

What a good thing!

As far as Zeng Guofan and his subordinates are concerned, the governors, officials and staff, it is a great thing, and there is no better thing than this!

Yes, no one gave them the money spent. But this is also telling them that you can handle the money by yourself and go to the place to make money by yourself. What will happen? The Qing court and the others will ignore it.

This is financial power. The local financial power can no longer be controlled by the Qing Dynasty!

This matter is actually exactly the same as some loss of rights in the concession, but it is not that the Qing court is lazy. It is because the Qing court has no choice.

No money!

Not only did he have no money, but he also did not dare, because the Qing court had to rely on Zeng Guofan and these officials who quelled the rebellion.

Besides, there is nothing to do, because there is really a lot of chaos in the local area. Even if the local governors deceive the central government, the central government of the Qing court would have no way to do it at all.

The power was lost like this. This happened a few years ago, but this incident did not show up. After all, on the surface, the Qing Dynasty was good. The Westernization Movement began, and the chaos in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was put down. The people could live a stable life again. So let's continue like this.

However, this time, the revival of ** was lifted up, which was not very tight, and everyone could see clearly what was inside!

It doesn't matter if this reveal is revealed. You should know that the Qing Dynasty was still orthodox in China at this time. Many Chinese people thought so. In other words, most people still recognized the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Now everyone has seen the weakness of the Qing Dynasty. Many people, especially Qingliu, have written some things, and some knowledgeable people in the local area, and everyone is talking about one thing, that is, they hope that the central government of the Qing court can take back the power.

Anyway, everyone thinks that you are still orthodox in the Qing Dynasty, and we all accept you, so it is normal for intellectuals to come out to speak out, but they do not come into contact with real politics.

Among these individuals, there are some who are more famous later, such as Yang Shenxiu, and Chen Sanli... Although they are young, they are rarely talented and have the innocence of young people.

As for Chen Sanli, his father also had the same idea. His father was Chen Baozhen, but Chen Baozhen was deeply appreciated by Zeng Guofan before, and he is now in the capital, so there is something hard to say.

For example, if I say that I want to collect power to the Qing court, then Cixi must be happy, but can they be happy with other governors and other governors?

So his son came out to say that the child was ignorant...

Just say that the current Qing Dynasty public opinion is very strange. On the one hand, the Qingliu who controls public opinion should advocate that the Qing Dynasty central government should gather power, and the local governors should be relegated to power. However, these Qingliu are afraid of offending people, and even many Qingliu are Zeng Guofan's people, and they are not easy to say.

This matter is very contradictory. As for Cixi, she also hoped to take over local power, but she knew that she could not take over it. She had to rely on these local officials. Now there are 18 provinces, which are simply 18 vassal states, and it is difficult for the central government to intervene.

Western powers also knew about such a situation, but their interests were not directly touched. They said that they were talking about business with the Qing Dynasty. They used to go to the central government and now they went to find the local government, and the local government was more active and could talk about many things.

Therefore, Western powers came out to suppress the revenge, and there were soldiers from the former United States of America!

Only when the war is over will the soldiers of the United States realize that their motherland is gone. What should we do?

So, they became mercenaries...

And now the situation of the entire Qing Dynasty, the people at the bottom of the people have also seen what this is?

The pills of the Qing Dynasty!

Originally, public opinion was controlled by Qingliu, but this time they spoke out, so the lower-class people gradually understood. They were worried, so a movement came out.

Help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries!

This slogan is not someone else's, it is from the Boxer Rebellion.

Nothing else, the Boxer Rebellion was born early, but in fact, if you look at this movement in depth, what is it?

Royalist Party!

This is the Chinese version of the Royalist Party, and many aspects show this nature. Not to mention anything else, it is exactly the same as the Wandai rebels in the French Revolution.

Are the main people all the people at the bottom?

And when they came out, they felt that something was going to happen to this country, so we had to help the emperor.

There are some ignorances in this, and there are almost the same things, but when this movement comes out and the power of the people is rising, who should I fight? Why is it going to destroy the foreign countries?

The people are not stupid. Although they were fooled by the Qing rulers and regarded them as orthodox, the people would also calculate it. The Qing Dynasty has become like this today, and the court cannot control the place. Isn’t the cause of the foreigners?

So, go and settle the score with foreigners!

Before, the whole situation was still relatively normal, and it could even be said to be able to control it, because it was the internal affairs of the Chinese people, whether it was against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty or supported the Qing Dynasty, everyone did it themselves, but when the Boxer Rebellion came out, they defined the goal as "supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreign countries", which was interesting!

The reign had also fought against foreigners before, but in the quelling of the rebellion, the foreigners still took action. They still felt that they could be good friends with the Qing Dynasty. However, after the Boxer Rebellion came out, you should know that the Boxer Rebellion was a royalist party, which means they were towards the Qing Dynasty. So the Aisin Gioro family could not express any disgust with such good people. Of course, it was just commendation and encouragement, and it also needed to promote something.

Once the Boxer Rebellion grows, they will feel that it is almost done. At this time, let’s go to war with the foreigners!

After the resurgence and destruction, the entire incident took half a year until the Boxer Rebellion rose. In other words, it was not until 1870 that the Boxer Rebellion was really strong and it really started to work!

Then there is no need to say how to fight this whole process. The Boxers shouted all kinds of messy slogans, such as invulnerable swords and guns, and the great immortals were rushing forward, and the foreign devils were definitely not ruthless when they killed people.

The result of the war was very simple. The Boxer Rebellion did achieve some results, but it was not an opponent of the foreign devils. After all, these Western powers were very strong, and in the end they formed an Eight-Nation Alliance.

As soon as the Eight-Nation Alliance came out, it was interesting. When Empress Dowager Cixi saw that it was amazing, she began to suppress the Boxer Rebellion!

To suppress the Boxer Rebellion, we still need local governors and those who are in charge of the army.

So, under the suppression of both sides, the Boxer Rebellion was suppressed!

But however, the foreigners had formed the Eight-Nation Alliance, and many foreigners in the Qing Dynasty were dealt with by the Boxer Regiment, especially some missionaries, who were throwing blood and essence. Anyway, they had used all the blood you could think of, and they were just a little bit of killing and other things, and setting fire was even more convenient.

So who should I ask for this loss, military expenditure?

The target is naturally the capital, and this time it is even more interesting. Some governors and governors in the south are smart. When they see this situation, they directly negotiate with foreigners. Soon they came up with a treaty called "Southeast Mutual Protection". Everyone is in peace. You go to the Qing court and live whatever we should live in our local area!

Then, in this way, the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to enter the capital!? (To be continued.)
