After eating, Gao Jun went to find Qin Zheng again, because Qin Zheng said that if you don't understand something, you can come to him.

After the establishment of the Provisional Executive Committee, the members lived ashore, because the conditions on the shore were certainly worse than on the ship, and in this era, the leadership naturally had to play a leading and exemplary role.

However, when Gao Jun came to Qin Zheng's room, he found that Qin Zheng was talking to his wife Zhou Ping, although the medical staff could stay on the Changbai Mountain ship, Zhou Ping still decided to move ashore to live with Qin Zheng.

Of course, Gao Jun knew Zhou Ping, so he only said hello to Zhou Ping. was about to leave, not wanting to disturb Qin Zheng and his wife at this time, but was stopped by Qin Zheng and said, "Comrade Gao Jun, if there is anything you don't understand, just say it, don't bring the problem to tomorrow." ”

Zhou Ping also smiled: "Yes, Xiao Gao, don't be polite, just say something." ”

Seeing that Qin Zheng and his wife said this, Gao Jun was not polite and told Qin Zheng about Gong Jinyan.

After listening to Gao Jun's speech, Zhou Ping said: "Speaking of which, this girl is very pitiful. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Comrade Gao Jun, when you come to tell me about Gong Jinyan, I'm afraid it's not just to show your sympathy for her. ”

Gao Jun nodded and said, " Commissar Qin, I think her experience is indeed sympathetic, but some of her practices I think are too much, for example, she said that when she attacked the church, she not only killed the priest who sheltered the scoundrel, but also killed a nun, but the nun did not do anything to hurt her, and later after she joined the Boxer Rebellion, she also killed many foreign missionaries, parishioners, and burned down some churches, I don't know if these foreign missionaries are all bad people, but there are indeed some innocent people among the parishioners, even Gong Jinyan herself said, some people just have a few foreign goods at home, and they were killed by the Boxers, which is too much。 So I don't know what to do with her. ”

Zhou Ping smiled: "Didn't you appoint her as the team leader?"

Gao Jun was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Director Zhou, I didn't think about it at that time, I appointed her as the team leader as soon as my mind was hot, and I always felt that something was wrong, so I came to find Political Commissar Qin." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Comrade Gao Jun, the question you reacted to is very important, and it is also something that we will inevitably face in the future, that is, the nature of the Boxers. After a pause, he said, "Comrade Gao Jun, how much do you know about the Boxers. ”

Gao Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just remember that when I was in school, it was mentioned in the history textbook, and it seems to say that the Boxers are a patriotic movement." ”

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about it." Generally speaking, there are two evaluations of the Boxer Rebellion: First, the Boxer Rebellion was a patriotic movement, a spontaneous anti-imperialist patriotic struggle of the Chinese people, which allowed imperialism to see the strength of the Chinese people and thus avoided the fate of China being carved up by the great powers. Backward representatives, the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, the Boxer Rebellion should pay the main responsibility, causing great harm to China, this kind of statement generally comes from the Internet, but some scholars also have this attitude. ”

Gao Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "How can there be these two completely different evaluations?"

Qin Zheng said: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with these two evaluations, but they have different positions, and from Gong Jinyan's experience, these two completely different natures can be fully reflected." Because the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, lost its power and humiliated the country, and there was an article in the unequal treaties signed with the great powers, that is, the great powers had the right to freely preach in China, and I do not deny that there were no good people among the missionaries, and they did not do anything good in China, but these foreign missionaries also had considerable privileges in China, and in the process of mission, they naturally used these privileges. Some missionaries took advantage of these privileges to encroach on the fields, amass money, and even interfere with the decrees of local governments in China, which of course caused dissatisfaction among the Chinese. ”

In order to attract Chinese people to believe, missionaries often shield these religious scoundrels, so after disputes between the people and the church, the government is afraid of the power of foreigners, and this kind of activity is called a lesson plan by the Qing government, and in the 40 years before the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Alliance, there were more than 800 recorded cases of various types of teaching cases in the country。 In addition, China has been bullied by foreign countries for more than 60 years, and the teachings of the European Church are different from the customs and habits of the Chinese underclass, which has caused serious contradictions and antagonisms between the people at the bottom and the church. When this contradiction and opposition reached an irreconcilable level, the common people would solve it in their own way, that is, they would organize themselves to deal with the church violently, and the Boxer Rebellion was born in this context of the times. They gathered to kill missionaries, kill parishioners, burn churches, and even confront the government, saying that it was a rebellion. ”

First of all, the scoundrel used the power of the church to forcibly occupy their family's land, and the church put pressure on the government in order to protect the people, and the government was afraid of the power of foreigners, so when the verdict was judgmental, Gong Jinyan could only use the power of the Boxers to take revenge, and finally she herself joined the Boxers, opposing the church and foreigners, so it is absolutely reasonable to say that the Boxer Rebellion was a spontaneous anti-imperialist patriotic struggle of the Chinese people。 ”

Gao Jun nodded and said, "Then what's the matter with the other evaluation?"

Qin Zheng sighed and continued: "Since the Boxer Rebellion was a spontaneous anti-imperialist struggle of the Chinese people, there was no advanced ideology, correct program or capable group leadership, on the one hand, there were a lot of feudal superstitions mixed in this movement. The reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, from this point of view, is indeed somewhat similar to cults, and there is a reason not to fail if this set of things is used to fight against the loaded guns of the Eight-Nation Alliance; on the one hand, it is the infinite expansion of revenge; at the beginning, the Boxers only attacked churches, expelled missionaries, and punished lawless people, but soon expanded to oppose everything related to foreign countries, and those involved with foreign countries became the targets of attacks, resulting in many indiscriminate killings of innocents, not only some innocent missionaries, Innocent nuns were killed, and many Chinese were killed simply because they used foreign goods at home. And so the other assessment is not wrong. ”

Gao Jun asked again: "Then what does this have to do with the Eight-Nation Alliance? Does the Boxer Rebellion have to bear the main responsibility for the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China?"

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance has a more complex background, and the Boxer Rebellion can only be regarded as one of the fuses, but if there is no Qing government to help it, the situation will not be bad to the end, so I personally think that during this period, the Qing government's actions are also difficult to shirk, and even greater than the responsibility of the Boxer Rebellion." ”

Gao Jun said: "What's going on?"

Qin Zheng said: "It's a long story, I'll be simple, let's start with the Wuxu Change, Comrade Gao Jun, how much do you know about the Wuxu Change?"

Gao Jun shook his head and said, "It's similar to the Boxer Rebellion!"

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "I won't go into detail about the Wuxu Reform, to put it simply, the Wuxu Reform finally failed, Kang Youwei and Liang Qiliang, who led the change, went into exile with the help of foreigners, and the Guangxu Emperor was imprisoned in Yingtai by the Empress Dowager Cixi, do you know these?"

Gao Jun nodded and said, "I know these things, it seems that the Empress Dowager Cixi launched a coup d'état." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Well, in short, after the coup d'état, although the Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor, she was still not satisfied, and wanted to abolish the Guangxu Emperor and replace it with a new emperor, but what the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't expect was that all countries opposed the Empress Dowager Cixi's behavior and united to put pressure on the Empress Dowager Cixi, so that the Empress Dowager Cixi failed to abolish Guangxu." ”

Gao Jun was a little strange and said, "Why should countries oppose the Empress Dowager Cixi's abolition of Emperor Guangxu?"

Qin Zheng said: "On the one hand, it shows the strength of various countries, and on the other hand, it is also uncertain about the foreign policy of the new emperor after he came to power, and the Guangxu Emperor's behavior of presiding over the Wuxu Reform Law is still supported by foreigners." ”

Gao Jun was even more strange, and said: "Why do foreigners support the Wuxu reform, aren't they afraid that China will become strong after the reform?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Of course, foreigners will not have such good intentions, they really hope that China will become strong, and they agree with the Wuxu reform, because they hope that after China changes the law, it will use the same political system as the West and fully open up to foreign countries, that is, integrate China into the Western system, so that they can more conveniently plunder China's wealth by means of trade. ”

Gao Jun said: "Is this also a peaceful evolution?"

Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping both laughed, Qin Zheng said: "It can also be understood in this way, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi, foreigners are obviously supporting Guangxu and opposing themselves, so foreigners are their enemies, note that the Empress Dowager Cixi regards foreigners as enemies, not from the position of the country and the nation, but because of personal self-interest, if foreigners support her to abolish Guangxu, then she will also regard foreigners as friends." ”

Gao Jun said: "Political Commissar Qin, I understand what you just said, but what does this have to do with the Boxer Rebellion?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "I'm about to say that although the Empress Dowager Cixi regarded foreigners as her enemies at this time, she also knew very well that it was impossible to resist foreign countries with China's strength, so she didn't dare to abolish Guangxu in the end, so she had to appoint her niece-in-law Pu Jun, the son of Prince Duan Zaiyi, as the 'eldest brother', which is equivalent to the crown prince." But she couldn't bear this breath in her heart, and at this time the Boxer Rebellion happened, because the spearhead of the Boxer Movement was directed at foreigners, which was very much to Empress Dowager Cixi's appetite, and as we said earlier, the Boxer Movement was mixed with a lot of feudal superstitions, and what kind of magic performances were made? And the Chinese of this era are also very superstitious, so many officials believe it, so they suggested to Empress Dowager Cixi that the Boxer Rebellion could be used to deal with the foreign guns and foreign artillery of the Eight-Power Alliance. ”

Gao Jun said: "So the Empress Dowager Cixi believes it?"
