/kloc-At the end of 0/9, China was carved up by western powers, and Shandong rose. The Boxer Rebellion in Zhili put forward the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries", calling on Chinese people to resist western aggression, gaining the support of the imperial court and gradually developing. By 1900, the Boxer Rebellion had developed into Beijing and Tianjin, with great momentum. In Tianjin, there is a special organization belonging to the Boxer Rebellion called Red Lantern.
The special feature of the red lantern is that all the members are women, and the members are commensurate with "sister" and "sister". The leader of the red lantern is called "Big Sister" and "Huanglian Shengmu", and Lin Heier is the "Huanglian Shengmu" of the red lantern. Under the leadership of Lin Hale, Red Lantern took Tianjin as its base to fight Eight-Nation Alliance.
There are three theories about the origin of Linhale:
One is Lin Heier, originally a prostitute in a brothel in Tianjin, who joined the Boxer Rebellion because she did not give in to fate.
One is the boatman's daughter Lin Heier, who lived in poverty since childhood. Her father was killed by foreigners for no reason and joined the Boxer Rebellion out of hatred for foreigners.
Another is Lin Heier, a roadside entertainer. Her later husband was arrested and killed for violating foreign religions. In retaliation, she joined the Boxer Rebellion.
No matter which statement is true, one thing is certain, that is, Lin Heier's background is not good, and it is precisely because she comes from the bottom of society that she realized the darkness of society at an early age and witnessed the ugly faces and crimes exposed by foreigners in China that she embarked on the road of resisting foreigners.
After joining the Boxer Rebellion, due to Lin Heier's excellent organizational leadership, Red Lantern soon became a Boxer Rebellion organization that cannot be ignored in Tianjin. They not only collect intelligence on weekdays, but also often attack local foreign churches and societies, and jointly fight with the Boxer Rebellion, which has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of foreigners. So foreigners hate red lanterns and Lin Heier.
Later, in 1900, western powers launched Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China on the grounds of "suppressing the Boxer Rebellion". Eight-Nation Alliance landed in Tianjin and gathered to attack Beijing by train from here, so in Tianjin, he was jointly resisted by the Boxer Rebellion and the Qing army, including the Red Lantern.
However, due to the disparity in weapons and the backwardness of operational thinking, Tianjin soon fell. Most boxers, including Red Lantern, were arrested and killed, and many hanged themselves.
After the fall of Tianjin, Lin Heier was seriously injured and tied to the boat by some people with ulterior motives. In order to get a high reward, they gave Lin's heir to foreigners, who put him to death out of hatred for Lin's heir. In the face of a busy life, Lin Si has no hesitation.
It is said that after Lin Haier's death, foreigners made a specimen of Lin Haier in order to insult him and vent their anger, and brought it back to Europe for westerners to visit. As for whether this rumor is true or not, there is really no way to verify it, but I think everyone of us should remember this history!
