Cixi originally opposed the Boxer Rebellion. After all, she is a domestic reactionary. However, watching them play the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty", I also hope to use it against western powers. On the other hand, foreigners are really cruel to others, and Cixi can't bear it anymore, thinking that such a team can be cultivated.
When Cixi first met with the leader of the Boxer Rebellion, she showed all kinds of amazing stunts, which can be said to be all kinds of tricks. What a silver spear pierced the throat and was possessed by a fairy. Cixi was very happy after reading it and ordered a reward.

But after the performance, some ministers began to whisper to each other. Can such a group of spies really be useful in the war? Cixi expressed her innermost thoughts in one sentence. These people saw through their tricks at a glance, but their bodies were really great. Although they didn't receive formal training, once they started fighting and went to the battlefield, they could still consume a lot of foreigners' bullets and gunpowder and gain more time for the regular army of the Qing Dynasty.
Sure enough, as soon as Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China started, the Boxer Rebellion went to the battlefield and resisted many bullets. Foreigners also wonder why they rushed up when they knew they were dead. Because they know that someone has invaded their territory, they want to drive this group of people away, even if they pay their own lives. It's important to drive them away. The patriotism shown by this group of people deserves respect and admiration.
But later defeated, Eight-Nation Alliance adopted the Boxer Rebellion. In order to save her life, Cixi promised foreigners to kill the court ministers who colluded with the Boxer Rebellion. Naturally, the Boxer Rebellion gradually disintegrated.
