Why did the local government leave no room when the Boxer Rebellion was founded in the first place? That's because the local government also needs an opening to support itself.
In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, foreign religions could already be openly preached, and foreign religions could be found all over the country. Chinese cultural people are all influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, and some of the Chinese believers who join the foreign religion are hooligans. The purpose of their entry into the religion was to expect foreigners to cover them, and when they saw zhixian county, they could not kneel, they could run rampant in the townships, and bully men and women. Sometimes the local government did not dare to take care of them, after all, behind them were foreigners, and foreigners were people who did not even dare to offend the imperial court.
The oppressed neighbors, full of hatred, found an outlet, and they targeted the foreign religion, and then pointed it at the foreigners. This simple psychology developed into the slogan of the Boxers, which was "to help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreigners."
After the early development of the Boxers, they began to distribute leaflets everywhere, which were printed: "God helps the fist, the Boxers, only because the devils are making trouble in the Central Plains." Persuade the gods, be confident in heaven, do not believe in God, and forget your ancestors. Males are unscrupulous, females are adulterous, and ghost children are born to mothers and sons. If you don't believe it, if you look closely, the devil's eyes will turn blue. There was no rain, the ground was scorched and dry, and all the churches stopped the sky. The gods were angry, and the immortals were angry, and together they went down the mountain to preach the Tao. It is not evil, it is not a white lotus, it is chanting mantras, it is true that it is true. Rise yellow, salute cigarettes, please go down to the cave gods, immortals out of the cave, gods down the mountain, attached to the human body to pass the fist. The art of war and the art of war are all learned, and it is necessary to calm the devils without difficulty in dismantling the railway, pressing the poles and urgently destroying the steamships. Great France, fearful, Anglo-American and Russian. The foreign devils, after all are eliminated, the Great Qing dynasty unifies the Jingjiang Mountains. "
Since the local government could not deal with the foreigners and continued to make a mouth, it also opened one eye and closed one eye to the Boxers who pointed the spearhead at the foreigners.
