At the beginning of the year, Rong Lu drafted an edict to the Empress Dowager Cixi to punish the head of the fist, and was sent by Cixi to Beijing to inquire about the news in the capital, and now that the overall situation in Beijing has been decided, he rushed back to Xi'an and reported to Cixi.

Rong Lu entered the house, knelt down, saw the salute, and did not speak, Cixi asked, "How is the situation in the capital?" ”

"Lafayette, since Lafayette killed and punished the head of the fist, the spirit of the foreigners has gradually calmed down, and the atmosphere of the negotiation has eased a lot compared to before, but the foreigners are extremely cunning and really difficult to deal with, so ****** and Li Zhongtang tried their best to mediate, and the overall situation has been decided.

China accepted the "Outline of Peace Talks" and signed peace treaties with 11 Western countries. The foreigners withdrew from the Beijing Division, and most of them have already withdrawn from the Beijing Division. ”

When Cixi heard that the foreigners had withdrawn their troops, her heart was much relieved, and she asked again: "How is the situation in the palace?" ”

"Some palaces in the palace were destroyed by foreigners, but most of them were intact, and the destroyed palaces, Li Zhongtang was rushing to repair them!"

Now the Empress Dowager Cixi was relieved, the situation in Beijing was stabilized, and the imperial palace was being repaired. As long as the foreign soldiers withdraw from Beijing and the treaty is signed, she can return to Beijing as a national princess.

In fact, it was really long and arduous for Yixuan and Li Hongzhang to negotiate with foreigners. Starting from August of the 26th year of Guangxu, it has been intermittent, tight and loose. The purpose of the foreigners to Beijing is very clear, that is, to carve up China, plunder resources from China, and thus destroy China.

They entered Beijing, occupied the imperial palace, and waited for the Qing government to send someone to negotiate with them. The Qing government immediately sent ****** Yixuan and Li Hongzhang as plenipotentiary ministers to negotiate with the eleven Western countries.

At first, Yixuan and Li Hongzhang had a tougher attitude towards foreigners, but they realized that if they did not deal with the ministers of the main battle faction, the foreigners would never give up, so they reported the situation to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Cixi gradually changed her attitude towards Zaiyi, Zaixun, Gangyi and others.

At the beginning of October, the envoys of Spain, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, and other countries put forward the "Outline of the Peace Conference," the conditions of which were extremely harsh, and Li Hongzhang did not dare to make his own claims, so he forwarded the "Outline of the Peace Conference" and the list of Chinese officials who had been listed by the foreigners to be punished.

Cixi had no choice but to issue an edict at the end of the year, and the so-called "fist head" was executed at the beginning of the following year.

In this way, the way was paved for negotiations, and the Western powers agreed to reconcile with the Qing government. After receiving the letter of reconciliation, Rong Lu hurriedly rushed back to Xi'an from Beijing to report the good news to Lafayette.

July 25, the 27th year of Guangxu, is a day of shame for the Chinese nation. On that day, the plenipotentiaries of the Qing government, Yi Xuan and Li Hongzhang, on behalf of the Qing government, signed the final protocol with the ministers of 11 countries, including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, the United States, France, Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Russia, and the "Xinchou Peace Treaty" was signed.

This treaty can be said to be an unprecedentedly humiliating servile treaty, and the foreign devils extorted a huge amount of compensation from the Qing government, and China wanted to compensate the foreign powers with 450 million taels of customs silver, and demanded that it be repaid in 39 years, with an annual interest of 4 percent, and the total principal and interest were more than 980 million taels.

In order to protect the safety of foreign envoys, it was required to designate Dongjiaomin Lane as the embassy area, and it was stipulated that Chinese could not live there. How can it be reasonable that Chinese are not allowed to live in China's places!

Moreover, the Qing government was asked to allow it to station troops along the railway line from Shanhaiguan to Beijing, and to prohibit the import of weapons and ammunition into China.

The hateful foreigners demanded that the Qing government ensure that the Chinese people would no longer be hostile to the foreigners and kill the foreigners, and demanded that the Qing government send people to Germany and Japan to apologize. At the same time, foreign devils are slaughtering China in diplomacy, trade and other matters.

In this way, all our coastal areas have been occupied by foreigners, most of the railways have been occupied by foreigners, and the freedom to do business has been deprived by foreigners...... Our nation is groaning, our land is falling apart, and our motherland is silently weeping......

Zaifeng sent by Cixi apologized to the Emperor, and Na Tong also apologized to the Emperor of Japan, the Qing Empire was benevolent and righteous, and the "Xinchou Treaty" was signed.

Although the foreigners have seized a lot of our power, and they can run rampant in China, after all, the large army of the foreigners has withdrawn, and we have gained temporary peace on the premise of losing a lot.

In August of the 27th year of Guangxu, the Eight-Nation Coalition withdrew from Beijing one after another. This news spread far and wide, and soon spread to thousands of households.

After Lafayette got the news, she was overjoyed, because now she didn't have to be afraid, she would become the master of the palace again, so since she got the news, her old man was like an arrow, and she had to pack up her things and go back to Luan.

The Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled from Beijing as a last resort, and moving from Taiyuan to Xi'an was also a last resort, so although she and he were in Xi'an, Taiyuan, they still missed and longed for Beijing. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not hesitate to exchange the sovereignty of the country for the peace of the Jingshi.

After the negotiations in Beijing were a little eyebrows, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked the Guangxu Emperor to send an edict on May 21, the 27th year of Guangxu, saying:

"I serve the Empress Dowager temporarily in Guanzhong, and she is about to pass the years, and she often cherishes the sect, and she is always guilty. Today's peace situation has been decided, yesterday to the Minister of the Interior today, sweep away the palace, the same day back to Luan, but because of the hot weather, the Virgin is old, it should be guarded to live, to Zhao Yi, since the Ying Jun Festival after a little cooler. On July 17, he returned to Beijing from Henan and Zhili, and made respectful preparations in advance with all yamen. ”

This edict made the whole country and the hearts of the people feel reassured, and everyone looked forward to peace. However, since the date of Huiluang has not been finalized, the matter of Huiluang has become more and more faint with the passage of time, and it has become more and more distant, and it is unexpectedly far away.

As a result, the situation that had been peaceful became turbulent again, so that the people were terrified. It was not until the first day of the seventh month that the Guangxu Emperor issued another edict, saying:

"According to the recital, it was rescheduled to return to Luang on August 24." However, as soon as this edict came out, it was tantamount to a small stone that hit a thousand waves with one stone, and the whole country was in an uproar, and rumors spread for a while. Some people say that Galeries Lafayette and Long Live do not want to return to Luan Beijing.

It turned out to be July 17, but it was changed to August 24, I heard that this time it may not be able to go, and it can only go in September, and I don't know if it can be started in September, and then the tenth day of October is Lafayette's birthday.

If you can't go in October, it will be cold on this day, and it seems that there is no hope for returning to Luang this year, or it depends on how the spring of next year goes. Some people also said that Lafayette didn't dare to go back to Beijing, because it was she who declared war at the beginning, and this time she went back, she was not afraid that foreigners would trouble her?

Some people also said that Li Lianying, the head of the palace, was afraid that Lafayette would lose power after returning to Beijing, and he would have no power, so he strongly advised Lafayette not to return to Beijing. And so on, and so on, and so on, for a time, all the Chinese and foreign newspapers and periodicals took this as the central issue, expressed their own opinions, and caused a storm in the country.
