However, by the end of 19, the Boxer Rebellion, which had been suppressed by the Qing court, had evolved into the Boxer Rebellion under the command of the Qing court, and its slogan had changed from "opposing the Qing dynasty and restoring the Ming dynasty" to "helping the Qing dynasty to destroy the foreign countries". What is the reason?
First of all, under the protection of extraterritoriality, not only the western clergy of the church were not under the jurisdiction of the Qing government, but ordinary China believers were often sheltered by the church. And many villains, riffraff and beggars who used to bully and do evil for a while and caused public outrage often took advantage of this to be baptized into Christians and accepted the protection of the church after making trouble. Local governments are often afraid of the extraterritoriality of the church, and officials are even more afraid of getting into trouble, so they are unwilling to beat foreigners and fail to deal with them openly, resulting in frequent religious plans.
Secondly, most churches were confiscated because religion was banned in the Qing Empire during the Yongzheng period. A century and a half later, some of these properties have been demolished and rebuilt and used for other purposes; Some have changed hands many times, which is quite difficult to find. However, foreign missionaries, relying on the imperial edicts of the Qing court and the authority of diplomatic envoys of various countries, often only rely on the documents and credentials held by their churches, and do not know where to look, and ask for the real estate of that year, regardless of the actual situation. And these properties are likely to become offices, halls, academies, temples and so on. It is respected by local gentry and people. Later, it developed into forced buying and selling of land, extortion at low prices, and even seizure of land, which aroused the resistance of the people of China.
Finally, a considerable number of foreign missionaries have lost the flexibility of Jesuits in those days, completely disrespected China tradition, belittled and discriminated against China culture and Chinese folk beliefs, and opposed or even banned the tradition of ancestor worship that has been circulating in China for thousands of years. This not only aroused the dissatisfaction of China people, but also caused the direct hostility of China people who believed in their ancestors. Frequent natural disasters in the late Qing Dynasty also aggravated these contradictions.
These responsibilities are naturally described by victims and gentry who hate foreigners as the result of "foreigners" spreading cults and blaspheming gods. With 1894- 1895' s fiasco of the Qing Empire in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1895, the achievements of the Westernization Movement in the Qing Empire for more than 20 years have been swept away, and the dream of becoming a rich country has been shattered, and it has completely become a fish to be slaughtered. Not only did the Qing court grieve inexplicably, but the people also felt the sense of national subjugation. In this context, violence rooted in people's hearts will continue to accumulate until it erupts like a volcano.
Most importantly, since the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, western countries have generally sympathized with Guangxu, and some western countries even openly demanded that Cixi not depose Guangxu. Cixi's attempts and actions to establish another Chu Jun have not been recognized by the West. This made Cixi increasingly dissatisfied with the powers and adopted a connivance and acquiescence attitude towards the Boxer Rebellion.
1899, Yu xian, the flag-bearer of the Han nationality in Shandong province, put forward that "the people should be available, the regiment should be appeased, and the bandits should be eliminated", and adopted a appeasement method to the Boxers who supported the rule of the Qing Empire, recruiting them to form militia, so the Boxers became the Boxers, and the slogan of the Boxers changed from "opposing the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight" to "helping the Qing Dynasty and eliminating the Qing Dynasty"
