Just when the Fuguo Army started fighting, there were many people who saw a thing, that is, the big leaders in the imperial court, that is, the capital, they seemed to pay a little bit less attention to this matter!

If you want to say that this is also a major military event, or to subvert your Qing Dynasty, then the level of investment as the central government of the Qing Dynasty is far less than before.

Basically, some of the actions of the Qing court were remote command, and the central government did not do much guidance, and all the people who came out to quell the chaos were local officials, and even a eunuch or something in charge of the army, this time there was no such thing.

It's weird, it's really strange, you must know that this is really not in line with the consistent practice of the Qing court, it violates the ancestral system, the matter of supervising the army and eunuchs, but they learned from the Ming Dynasty, didn't they still respect the old Zhu family as the first emperor?

What does this mean?

A lot of politically sensitive people can see it!

To put it bluntly, the current Qing court's control over the local area is no longer complete, there is almost no control over it, and these local officials, supervising and appoverning, are the real people in power.

Is this true?

Of course it's true, and in fact, this state was formed very early!

Let's just say that after Zeng Guo pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he went to Beijing to meet Cixi and Prince Gong, so there are naturally many stories in it, but one of the most critical things is two words, reimbursement.

What is reimbursement, this is something that ordinary people can understand, according to ordinary people, even if it is Li Mengyang, it is naturally a good reimbursement.

Reimbursement is not your own money. There is a company or a public government that pays for it. How good is that. Right?

Therefore, for ordinary people, the reimbursement is a good health and a good thing, but there is a problem here, that is, the reimbursement is made, so it is not a casual reimbursement. You always have to take out the invoice when you make a reimbursement, right?

In other words, no matter who reimburses you, you always have to know how your money is spent, then this is actually a right, which can govern your rights!

So now, what the Qing court said to Zeng Guofan is that they won't reimburse you!

What's going on? This is a major event to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and such a major event will naturally cost countless money, but the Qing court will not reimburse these money. What about this......

What a good thing!

From Zeng Guofan and these governors and ministers under him. For the staff, it's really a great thing, and it doesn't get any better than this!

Yes, no one gave them the money spent, but this is also telling them that you can handle the money yourself, and you go to the local government to make money by yourself, so how to do it, what the consequences will be, the Qing court doesn't care.

This is financial power, the local financial power is no longer controllable by the Manchu Dynasty!

In this case, in fact, it is exactly the same as the loss of some rights in the concession, but it is not that the Qing court is lazy, but that the Qing court has no choice.

No money!

Not only did he have no money, but he also didn't dare, because the Qing court still had to rely on Zeng Guofan and these big people to quell the chaos.

Besides, there is no way, because the local government is really a bunch of messy accounts, even if the local governor fools the central government, then the central government of the Qing court has no way at all.

The right was lost like this, this happened a few years ago, but this thing did not show it, after all, on the surface, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was good, the Westernization movement began, the chaos of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also calmed, and the people could live a stable life again, so go on like this.

However, this time the uprising of the Restoration Army lifted the lid of this already not very tight, and everyone saw what was inside clearly at once!

It doesn't matter if this revelation is revealed, you must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still Chinese orthodoxy at this time, and many Chinese people think so, that is to say, most people still recognize the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, so now everyone sees the weakness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Many people, especially Qingliu, have written some things out, and some learned people in the local area, and everyone is like this, all of them are saying one thing, that is, they hope that the central government of the Qing court can take back the power.

Anyway, everyone thinks that you are still orthodox in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we all obey you, so it is normal for intellectuals to come out and shout, and they do not touch real politics.

Some of these individuals were later more famous, such as Yang Shenxiu and Chen Sanli...... Don't look at their young age, but they are rarely talented, and they still have the innocence of young people.

As for Chen Sanli, his father also thinks the same, his father is Chen Baozhen, but Chen Baozhen was deeply appreciated by Zeng Guofan before, and he is now in Beijing, so there are some things that are difficult to say.

For example, if the Qing court said that it would take over power, then Cixi would definitely be happy, but the other governors or something, can they be happy?

So, his son came out and said that the child is not sensible......

On the one hand, these Qingliu who control public opinion, they should come to advocate the central government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to gather power, and the local governors should be in power, but these Qingliu are afraid of offending people, and even many Qingliu turned out to be Zeng Guofan's people, and they are not easy to say.

This matter is very contradictory, as far as Cixi is concerned, she also hopes to collect the local power, but she also knows that she can't collect it, she still has to rely on these local officials, just now 18 provinces are simply 18 vassal states, and it is difficult for the central government to intervene.

And such a situation, the Western powers are also aware, but their interests have not been directly touched, so they say that they are now talking to the Manchus about business or something, before they went to the central government, and now they are looking for places, and the local activities are greater, and many things can be discussed.

That's why the Western powers came out to suppress this Restoration Army, and among them are the soldiers of the former United States of America!

When this battle is over, the soldiers of the United States know that their homeland is gone, what can they do?

So, they became mercenaries......

And now the situation of the entire Qing Dynasty, the people at the bottom can also see it, what is this?

Great Qing National Pills!

Originally, public opinion was controlled by Qingliu, but this time they spoke out, then the lower class people slowly understood, they were worried, so a movement came out.

Help clear and extinguish the ocean!

This slogan is not someone else's, that is the Boxer's.

Nothing else, the Boxer Rebellion was born in advance, but in fact, if you look at this movement in depth, what is it?

Royalists!

This is the Chinese version of royalism, and in many ways it shows this nature. If nothing else, it's exactly the same as the Vendée rebels in the French Revolution.

The main body is all ordinary people at the bottom, right?

And when they came out, it happened that they felt that something was going to be wrong with the country, and we had to help the emperor.

There is ignorance in this, and there are some things, which are almost the same, but however, this movement has come out, and the power of the people has risen, so who will it fight? Why is it to destroy the ocean?

If you want to say that the common people are not stupid, although they were fooled enough by the Manchu rulers to recognize them as orthodox, but the common people will also count, the Qing Dynasty has become what it is today, and the court can't control the place, isn't that the reason why the foreigners came?

So, go to the foreigners to settle accounts!

To say that before, the whole development of the situation was still relatively normal, and it can even be said that it can be controlled, because it is still the internal affairs of the Chinese themselves, whether it is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, or to support the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everyone will do it themselves, but when the Boxer Rebellion came out, and then they defined the goal as 'helping the Qing to destroy the ocean', this matter is interesting!

The Restoration Army also fought foreigners before, but in the quelling of the rebellion, the foreigners still took action, and they still felt that they could be good friends with the Manchus, but when the Boxers came out, you must know that the Boxers were royalists, that is to say, they were towards the Qing Dynasty, so the Aixin Jueluo family could not express any disgust to such good people, of course, it was a reward and encouragement, and it was also necessary to promote something.

As soon as the Boxers grow, then they feel that they are almost there, and at this time they will go to war with the foreigners!

After the collapse of the Restoration Army, this whole event, until the Boxers rose up, half a year passed, that is to say, in 1870, the Boxers really grew stronger, and they really started!

Needless to say, the Boxers are shouting all kinds of messy slogans, what invulnerability, what immortals are possessed to rush forward, and the foreign devils are definitely not soft when they kill people.

The result of the war was very simple, the Boxers did achieve some results, but they were not the opponents of the foreign devils, after all, these Western powers were very strong, and in the end they still formed an eight-nation alliance.

As soon as the Eight-Nation Alliance came out, it was interesting, and the Empress Dowager Cixi saw that this was terrible, so she began to suppress the Boxers!

If you suppress the Boxers, you still need local governors, and you still need those who are in charge of the army.

So, under the suppression on both sides, the Boxer Rebellion was also suppressed!

BUT BUT, THEN THIS FOREIGN DEVIL ENGAGED IN THE EIGHT-NATION ALLIANCE, AND MANY FOREIGNERS IN THE MANCHU QING WERE CHOKED BY THE BOXERS, ESPECIALLY SOME MISSIONARIES, WHAT KIND OF DOG BLOOD, JING BLOOD, ANYWAY, WHAT KIND OF BLOOD CAN YOU THINK OF, THEY HAVE USED IT, KILLING PEOPLE OR SOMETHING IS TRIVIAL, AND ARSON IS EVEN MORE CONVENIENT.

Then who do you want for this loss, military spending?

The target is naturally the Beijing Division, and in the locality, this time it is even more interesting, some governors in the south are smart, they see this situation, directly negotiate with foreigners, and soon come up with a treaty called 'Southeast Mutual Insurance', everyone is safe, you go to the Manchu court, we can live how we should live in the local area!

So, the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to enter the capital!? (To be continued......)
