According to the wishes of foreign invaders. It is to change the Prime Minister's yamen to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ranking above the six ministries, and let the Qing government implement a traitorous foreign policy according to the will of foreign invaders. The Foreign Affairs Office of the Prime Minister, referred to as the Prime Minister's Office, also known as the General Affairs Department or the Translation Department, is responsible for westernization and foreign affairs. Its officials are divided into two levels: minister and Zhang Jing, and the official department is located in Dongtangzi Hutong, the capital.
The Xin Chou Treaty is an unequal treaty with the largest amount of compensation, the most serious loss of sovereignty and the deepest spiritual humiliation in China's modern history, which has brought unprecedented disasters to the people of China. The Qing government was established as a loyal running dog of the imperialist powers. Since then, the Qing government has completely become a tool for the capital and imperialist powers to rule China.
The treaty of Xin Chou was signed in Beijing. The signing of the Xin Chou Treaty further strengthened the empire's overall control and plunder of China, indicating that the Qing government completely became the tool for the empire to rule China, and symbolized that China was completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
On the other hand, under the influence of factors such as the livelihood difficulties caused by the dumping of goods by foreign powers and the frequent religious plans caused by the increasing activities of priests, the opposition and hatred of ordinary people in China towards foreign invaders are rising day by day. This led to the boxer movement. The movement put forward slogans such as "helping the Qing dynasty to destroy the foreign countries", adopted universal xenophobia and was superstitious.
The Influence of the Xin Chou Treaty
The huge indemnity aggravated the treasury crisis in Qing Dynasty. The serious loss of China's sovereignty has brought a series of unequal treaties to the people. The Qing government became a tool for western capitalist countries to rule China, which further intensified the political and military control of western powers.
The amount of compensation was huge, and the Qing government had to squeeze the people to collect all the money, and the people's lives were unbearable. In addition, western countries also suppressed China's railways and mines through investment and usury. Further deepened the semi-colonization of China. The number of foreigners coming to China has gradually increased, which has accelerated the process of "Western learning spreading to the east" and promoted the development of Sinology.
The disaster was unexpected.
