The Boxer Rebellion was a mass organization that rose spontaneously in the rural areas of Shandong Province in the north of China at the end of last century (1898- 1900). It was originally called a boxer. The boxer's anger is because some hooligans entered the church, and then the church surrounded the land and taught people to bully others ... After the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, it changed to the Boxer Rebellion with the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries", which marked that the nature of this non-governmental organization had changed, indicating that it had been used by the Qing government and became a group of domestic slaves and rude thugs of this corrupt government. This is a fundamental change from the Boxer Rebellion to the historical tragedy.

The Qing government always severely suppressed and banned the spontaneous organizations and secret associations of the domestic people (such as the White Lotus Society and the Heaven and Earth Society) and regarded them as enemies of the political power. However, they treated the Boxers with appeasement, which is very intriguing. Obviously, it meets the appetite and needs of those in power. This is undoubtedly a surprise in despair for suppressing the Cixi clique, which has fallen into a dead end due to political reform. If we don't take the road of modernization and political reform, is there really no road and will we really be defeated by imperialism? You see, isn't this a heavenly soldier who came out of the yellow land at the foot of Lafayette? At this time, people's hearts will be there. Why not create a historical miracle? Cixi just caught this. She shamelessly talked about "always putting people's hearts first".

Cixi used the boxer movement to kill foreigners. It can be said that there were three beauties at the beginning: first, she could take advantage of the situation and transfer the peasants' hatred of the Manchu regime to xenophobia; Second, foreigners can be taught to make less irresponsible remarks about China in the future; Third, in case of trouble and farmers lose to outsiders, they can also be blamed on "mobs" After all, they are not government troops, and the Qing court can shirk its responsibility. However, Cixi completely miscalculated the abacus and greatly misjudged the power of "invulnerability".
