Originally a medium-sized church, the church is now home to more than 20 people, including 12 Chinese, and the bishop is a fanatical and devout religious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the Boxer Rebellion, the church received more than 100 foreign nationals and Chinese parishioners, and during the Boxer attack on the church, the bishop led the congregation to resist and defended the church, but more than 80 people were killed and wounded in the church.

Moreover, an incident that happened during this period left a very deep impression on the bishop, that is, when the situation was at its most dangerous, the guards of the church were also in danger, there was not much ammunition left, and the food in the church was insufficient, so several Chinese Catholics could not bear it and decided to go out and surrender to the Boxers, and under their instigation, as a result, more than a dozen Chinese Christians and two foreign businessmen decided to surrender to the Boxers despite the bishop's dissuasion. The Chinese believers believed that they were Chinese, and the Boxers would not poison themselves, while the two foreigners, based on their own experience of doing business in China, were Chinese who loved money and hoped to use money to buy their lives.

But as soon as the dozen or so people walked out of the church, they were immediately arrested by the Boxers, and after a brief inquiry, they were killed in front of the church, and the other members of the church saw it, and they also completely died of the illusion of surrender, and swore to defend the church to the death, but fortunately, within a few days, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing and saved the remaining people in the church. And the bishop was even more excited, believing that it was a miracle caused by God that allowed him to survive.

After being rescued, the bishop immediately launched a crazy revenge, and the object of revenge was not limited to the Boxers, but all non-religious Chinese, because in his opinion these eastern pagans should die, and he had lived in Beijing for five or six years, could conduct basic conversations in Chinese, was familiar with the city and streets of Beijing, and knew the location of several Boxers in Beijing, so he led the eight-nation alliance army to exterminate one by one.

These halls were all set up in the mansions of officials and magnates, and during the Boxer Rebellion, it was not surprising that not to mention officials and magnates, even in the palaces of princes and county kings, there were also Boxer halls. At this time, some officials and powerful families still remained in the mansion, and although some had fled, they still left a large number of people in the mansion.

The remnants of the church led by the bishop joined the Eight-Nation Alliance, invaded the mansions of these officials and magnates, not only robbed all the treasures and property, but also killed all the people in the mansion, regardless of men, women and children, sometimes although the Eight-Nation Alliance had withdrawn, the bishop still led the congregation to continue to kill, in just more than ten days, they had killed hundreds of people, of course, they also looted a large number of treasures, and then even other churches were a little unable to look at it, so they persuaded each other, which was somewhat restrained.

After the Battle of Beijing began, the bishop also sensed the danger and believed that the second Boxer Rebellion was coming, so he immediately collected guns, stockpiled food, and fortified the church, preparing to fight a second battle to defend the church, and firmly believed that God would protect him again.

In the eyes of the bishop, this was nothing more than a ruse to deceive him into opening the doors of the church, and once they were let in, it would be a catastrophe, so when the KPA came to inspect the church, the church closed the door, and the head of the church himself guarded the church with a gun and opened fire.

Qin Zheng was also quite shocked after receiving the report, he didn't expect that someone would dare to resist the People's Army by force, so he immediately ordered *** to lead a company of troops to attack this church immediately, but at the same time, he also asked not to expand the scale of the war.

The church was naturally unable to withstand the attack of the People's Army, and the door of the church was blasted open with only a few cannons, and the bishop was commanding the parishioners to guard on the wall, and was killed on the spot with several parishioners, the bishop died, and the others also lost the backbone of the main body, and also lost the will to resist, and the People's Army then attacked the church, and the rest of the people surrendered, and the whole process took less than 10 minutes, the People's Army killed a total of 11 people and arrested 14 people, including 2 foreign priests, 3 nuns, and 9 Chinese Catholics.

Of course, there is only one church like this, and most of the churches and bishops are still able to clearly understand the current situation and dare not prevent the People's Army from entering the church to search.

But in the end, the treasures that had not been handed over were found in all seven churches. In fact, almost all churches have a little bit of private collection, including all embassies, but these churches and embassies only keep some small and high-value, easy-to-collect treasures, but the churches that were searched were hidden a large number of treasures, even gold and silver, and some even only symbolically handed over a little, and the reason for them were all hidden in the church, so there is a reason why they were still found.

And the embassy collection is mainly treasures, but the church is not refused, treasures, gold and silver, but also a large collection of copper coins, which also made the visit of Davidott, Charistine very embarrassed, although the two of them are not considered Christians, but due to the education and cultural influence they received since childhood, they still have a good impression of the church, and in the old time and space, the two will also go to the church to participate in worship and other ceremonial activities. Seeing that the church was also involved in the looting, the two of them did not believe that the church in this era would be like this.

After all the inspections were over, Qin Zheng ordered that Dongjiaomin Lane was still temporarily blocked, and the personnel of the embassies of various countries could only operate in Dongjiaomin Lane, while other churches that had passed the inspection were also temporarily restricted from going out, but the churches that were found to be hidden were sealed, and the bishops, priests, and believers were expelled from the church, and all the property of the church was confiscated by the People's Army because they were confined to the palace. The church that was fighting against the People's Army was ordered to be demolished, and the 14 people who were arrested were escorted to Tianjin to serve their sentences.

In the days that followed, the People's Army found a large amount of gold and silver buried in the palace in the ground. It turned out that when the Empress Dowager Cixi left Beijing, she had divided some of her private treasures, gold and silver into several places and buried them in the underground of the palace, with a total value of about 15 million pounds, and later after the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, several places were dug up in the palace, and in the old time and space, after the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing, the remaining treasures were taken out, which was still about 9 million pounds.

Qin Zheng is familiar with history, so he naturally knows this historical fact, and he will not leave this treasure to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and for the traverser, it is not difficult to find this wealth, just use a few metal detectors, and as a result, several buried treasures were dug up in the palace.

The final statistical work took more than a month to complete, and the results greatly exceeded the expectations of all the traversers, only silver reached more than 9,300 taels, and gold also has more than 200 taels, about 60 tons, and other kinds of ancient jade, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming calligraphy paintings, Song and Yuan ceramics, enamel, lacquerware, gold and silverware, bamboo and wood tooth horns, gold and bronze religious statues and a large number of emperors and concubines costumes, clothing; in addition, there are a large number of books, classics, documents and archives, etc., as many as more than 100,000 pieces. It can be described as gold, jade, rare and rare treasures, all gathered here. Moreover, more than 5,000 treasures and cultural relics have been damaged to varying degrees.

The silver and gold seized were naturally unceremoniously taken by the Crossing Group, but how to deal with the other treasures is a difficult problem, because although these treasures are valuable, they are all precious cultural relics in China, and it is basically impossible to realize them. Some travelers suggested that all the treasures should be transported to Tianjin or Qingdao, and that the crossing group should collect them themselves, and even establish a museum for people to visit.

But there are also people who have strong opposition to the collection and the construction of museums, because whether it is a collection or the construction of a museum, it is an extremely large project. Management also needs to invest a lot of human and financial resources, and now the crossing group is the beginning of the founding, when all the waste is waiting to be revived, all the human and financial resources need to be invested in infrastructure, as well as the development of industrialization, there is really no energy to take care of this batch of treasures, even if it is forcibly transported to Tianjin or Qingdao collection, it will also cause a large number of cultural relics damage due to poor management, so that it destroys the precious cultural relics of the Chinese nation, and the ultimate goal of the crossing group is to replace the Qing court, the establishment of the republic, and so after the crossing group has obtained power, the palace will definitely be like the old time and space, changed to the Palace Museum, then these treasures and cultural relics still have to be sent back to the Forbidden City for preservation, then it is better to keep these treasures in the palace.

After the crossing group obtained the silver and gold, it has obtained sufficient development funds, and there is no need to realize these treasures at all, so the actual significance of collecting these treasures is not great, and the collection of these treasures in the imperial palace can be better kept, and the probability of damage is much smaller; second, it can also show that the people's army forcibly searched the embassies of various countries only to protect the treasures of the Chinese nation, not for their own selfish interests, so that the crossing group can occupy a high ground morally.

Later, the crossing group also had many discussions on this issue, and the two factions had their own opinions and disputes, and these treasures were kept in the Beijing Imperial Palace, and were not transported away with the gold and silver. In the end, it was not until the end of 1901, after the new leadership team of the crossing group was formally established, that the final decision was made to still leave this batch of treasures in the Beijing Imperial Palace, but the crossing group could select a part of it, about 3,000 pieces, and transport it to Qingdao for collection, which was counted as the property of the crossing group.
