At the same time, he published notices throughout the province. Insider: The state has signed treaties with foreign countries to allow foreigners to set up churches to preach, and recognized the responsibility to protect churches. If a common man gathers a crowd to make a fuss and seek revenge for himself, he will not only cause the country to suffer losses, but also violate the royal law, and reason will become unreasonable.

In the event of a civil lawsuit, the missionary should abide by Chinese law and must not interfere with the trial of the case by the magistrate. Religious believers are still Chinese people, and they must abide by the laws and regulations of their own country, and if they commit evil acts, they must be punished according to law and will never be forgiven.

At the same time, officials at all levels are urged to handle litigation cases regardless of civil and religious education, but they are straightforward and handled equally. If foreigners and missionaries intervene, they should be refuted separately in accordance with the treaty charter, and no favoritism should be heard. If the missionary is not in his duty, ask his supervisor to approve it. Extortion by the servants, punishment to the fullest.

Immediately afterwards, the constitution of the Chinese and foreign treaties was published, and officials were ordered to give lectures, educate the people, and protect the church. All apportionments are shared by the common people, and the parishioners are no exception.

On 19 July, Yuan Shikai sent a draft notice on the people's education and a draft of the encyclopedia to officials at all levels, together with the 146 teaching cases that occurred in Jinan, Dongchang, Tai'an, and Linqing, to the premier's yamen, so that they could understand the actual situation of the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi smashed the Wuxu Reform Law and re-disciplined the government, she wanted to abolish Guangxu and set up a new monarch. She was extremely sad that the "son" who was helped up to the big position by her wanted to hurt her.

Because it was condemned by various countries externally, and strongly opposed by the governor of Erjiang and other feudal officials, he gave up.

But she has not given up, to October 199, she thought that her position in the discipline has been very consolidated, decided to abolish Guangxu on New Year's Day, Liduan County Wang Zaiyi's son Pu Jun as the emperor, changed to Yuan Puqing.

Rong Lu, the chief assistant of the military aircraft, was afraid of bearing the notoriety, so he proposed to put Pu Jun in the position of the eldest brother for the time being, as a buffer, and he could also test the reactions of all sides.

The Empress Dowager Cixi thought this method was not bad, and on January 24, 1900, she summoned the prince, Baylor and the ministers, and ordered Guangxu to read out the edict of Li Pujun as the eldest brother.

It is clear that Pu Jun will inherit the Tongzhi unification in the future and pre-establish the crown prince.

The history books call this "Yihai Jianchu".

Originally, Cixi was constantly opposed when she came out to discipline the government.

Such a reserve was tantamount to abolishing Guangxu, violating the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, and was immediately opposed by unanimous opposition at home and abroad.

Yuan Shikai felt that this was an opportunity for him to perform in the Empress Dowager Cixi, and immediately folded the Empress Dowager Cixi "Congratulations to Shengxi" and Guangxu to "Congratulations to Tianxi". Sure enough, he liked Cixi very much, but Guangxu hated him even more.

Obviously, Yuan Shikai's submission of the information to the Prime Minister's Yamen has yielded results.

On 19 February, the imperial court issued an edict on the basis of the performance of the Prime Minister's Yamen, strictly prohibiting the Boxers and handling the teaching case impartially.

Compared with the previous edict, this made Yuan Shikai feel that there were two attitudes towards the Boxers within the imperial court, and the top decision-makers were swaying left and right.

Yuan Shikai believed that it was necessary to seize this favorable opportunity and immediately ordered someone to draw up the "Provisional Regulations on the Prohibition of Boxing and Bandits" and post it together with the edict to publicize it widely.

The charter was drafted entirely according to Yuan Shikai's intentions, and the main content was: Prefecture and county officials must seriously visit and investigate and prosecute them, and if there are those who set up factories to teach in the territory under their jurisdiction, they should "strictly investigate and deal with them according to the rules of arsonance and banditry."

The chief, the chief, and the local security officer must report at any time, and if they do not report it, they will be imprisoned, and if they communicate with the bandits, they will be corrected. The father and brother listened to their children learn evil boxing, and in addition to correcting the law, the father and brother were imprisoned for three years.

All boxing factories will be destroyed, and if a factory is set up, its family property will be confiscated. Accuse a family of setting up a factory, and reward half of the family's property to the person who informed. The person who set up the factory and sent the head of the robbery to the case was rewarded with all the family property of the criminal.

If the neighbors who set up the factory are afraid of the revenge of the boxers and dare not come forward to denounce them, they should immediately notify the head of the village, the chief officer, and the local security officer, and report to the official in secret, so that they can handle it. Those who know but do not report will be dealt with strictly, and those who harbor will be guilty of the same crime as bandits.

In the past, except for the famous bandit leaders and those who had committed serious crimes of burning and robbery, they should still be investigated, but the rest of the people who were threatened were able to repent and rehabilitate themselves, and they were all exempted from prosecution. If there is a false accusation of revenge, and the person who wants to share the reward will be guilty of the crime of anti-sitting and will not be lenient.

On the one hand, Yuan Shikai ordered officials and gentlemen at all levels to go to Sixiang, spread information from house to house, and report the traces of the Boxers every day.

On the one hand, the Wuwei Right Army was dispatched to pursue and suppress it with all its might, setting off a ** to exterminate the Boxers throughout the province.

The Boxers hated Yuan Shikai to the core, saying that everyone wanted to kill him, eat his flesh, and sleep on his skin.

They distributed posters everywhere, scolding Yuan Shikai as "Yuan traitor", and "killing Yuan turtle eggs, we have a good meal" ballads circulated everywhere in Shandong.

Someone also secretly drew a big turtle on the wall of the governor's yamen. With a red-topped flower feather on his head, he was lying on the back of the foreigner's ass in a servile manner to show his hatred.

At this time, Shandong and Zhili happened to be hit by a major drought. In order to survive, the hungry people joined the Boxer Rebellion one after another, and the Boxer Rebellion, which shocked China and the rest of the world, broke out.

On March 14, the imperial court officially appointed Yuan Shikai as the governor of Shandong.

In order to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, which had become a prairie fire, Yuan Shikai asked the imperial court to agree to merge the original 24th battalion of the brave brigade in Shandong.

Twenty battalions, totaling 15,000 men, were left behind, renamed the Vanguard of the Armed Guard Right Army, re-trained, and replaced with new Mauser guns.

Subsequently, the other 10 battalions were reorganized into the Left Wing Defense Army, the Right Wing Defense Army, and the Coastal Defense Army, and deployed in key areas throughout the province.

In less than two months, dozens of the main leaders of the Boxers were captured and beheaded.

The Boxers could not stay in Shandong any longer, and fled to Shanxi and Zhili one after another.

Especially after Yuxian went to Shanxi as a governor, Shanxi became a paradise for the Boxers.

Shandong is making a fuss about righteousness and boxing, Yuxian is the initiator, as for his related actions in Shanxi, we have already mentioned it earlier.

After the establishment of Yihai, the government of the Qing Dynasty gradually fell into the hands of the stubborn and conservative military ministers Gangyi, Zhao Shuqiao, Qixiu, Xu Tong, a university scholar, and Zai Yi, the father of the eldest brother.

In order to strive for the recognition of the heirs of various countries, Zai Yi ordered people to go to the legations of various countries and asked the ministers of various countries to congratulate him.

But the ministers of various countries ignored them and were bored with themselves.

Zai Yi knew that if there were no foreigners who were in the way, Guangxu would have been abolished long ago, and his son would have already become the emperor, wouldn't he be the emperor?

Zai Yi already hates foreigners, and now he hates them even more, and he can't wait to kill these foreigners.

When he heard that the Boxers were able to protect their bodies from invulnerability, he was overjoyed when he saw that the Boxers had raised the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty and extinguishing the foreigners.

So he started to use the Boxers to drive away the foreigners and achieve his goal of abolishing Guangxu and establishing a new monarch, so he tried his best to praise the Boxers in front of Cixi.

At this time, Cixi was angry at herself for being controlled everywhere in front of foreigners, and she was even more angry when she thought of the chaotic parties such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who were sheltered by foreigners. also wanted to use the Boxers to work for herself, and she wanted to incorporate the Boxers into an official-run regiment, but there was a lot of controversy in the court.

Each of these opinions has its own reasoning, and Cixi can't make up her mind.

Although I don't have a lot of contact with Yuan Shikai, I can feel that Yuan Shikai has a brain and has unique insights when encountering problems. In the matter, he sought Yuan Shikai's opinion.

From the inquiry, Yuan Shikai already felt Cixi's intentions, but he did not follow Cixi's words this time, but directly raised opposing opinions.

I killed so many Boxers, if these people have the momentum, will they spare themselves?

"The fist will gather in crowds and march to rob property hundreds of miles away, which cannot be said to protect the wealth; burning, killing, captivity, ransom, resisting officials and resisting soldiers, shall not be said to be a traitor; Plundering civilians and harassing localities cannot be called hatred of foreign religions. ”

In the end, he said without question: "It is advisable to strictly prohibit prevention, and it is not advisable to accommodate it." ”

was mastered by these **** Qing **, how could he listen to Yuan Shikai's opinion.

With the connivance of Zai Yi and others, in early June, the Boxers of Zhili poured into Beijing in large numbers, claiming to attack the embassies of various countries.

On 10 June, the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen was also in charge, and he was originally opposed to Zaiyi's nonsense. But he would look at the direction of the wind, and when he saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was so positive, he quickly closed his mouth.

Afraid that he would be implicated in the future, he simply hid at home and said that he was sick.

Zai Yi was unable to ask for it, and took advantage of the situation to obtain the power to manage the affairs of various countries.
