At that time, the people's thoughts were pedantic, and some lower-class people simply could not get in touch with the so-called "higher education." At the same time, they didn't know how to resist. In the end, the situation became "If you want to behead, I will stick my head out and let you have a good look."

So the people in that class couldn't help anything. They are like a machine. They believe what the commander said and respect it.

At the same time, at that time, some people were Manchu, and most Manchu people advocated riding and shooting, but rejected the use of firearms in their hearts, and felt that using firearms was shameless. The north belongs to the traditional sphere of influence of Manchu, and most of the people guarding Beijing belong to the Eight Banners green camp, which is unique to Manchu.

However, the Eight Banners soldiers at that time were not as brave and good at fighting as in the late Ming Dynasty. They have long been corroded by the feast of the Central Plains and have no fighting capacity at all. What really corrupts people is opium. Therefore, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were defeated by the enemy directly before trying to fight. More than 200,000 people were beaten out of the water by tens of thousands of Eight-Nation Alliance. This kind of thing even humiliated their ancestors.

There is also a part I mentioned above, which is called "opium". Those ministers were addicted to opium, and finally got something, wearing the cloak of "drug addiction" and giving money to other countries to make a grand slam.

No one wrote to persuade the whole Qing government officials to immerse themselves in such an environment of scraps of paper and gold fans, as if they were happy with opium.

At the same time, at that time, it was a direct loss of head to dispatch troops without the permission of those in power. Who dares to mobilize troops to support such a strict law, and they are afraid that their heads will fall to the ground before they are ready.
