In June 1900, when the German minister was killed by the Qing army, and the minister's wife insisted that Cixi pay for his life, even Li Hongzhang was helpless, a savior appeared.....

Dissatisfied with the imperialist aggression against the mainland, the Boxer Rebellion, which was mainly based on "supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the west", took place at the end of the 19th century. Boxers burned the church when they saw it, and killed the priests when they saw them.

The threatened foreigners hated the Boxers to the bone.

On June 20, a palanquin slowly came to the door of a certain state affairs gate, and the palanquin sat in the palanquin with the German minister Klinder, who had shot and killed 20 nominal and regiment members a few days earlier.

No, a "bang" of a gunshot, the Qing army Tiger God Camp sharpshooter Enhai shot him dead in the palanquin.

Klind was killed, his wife was extremely uncomfortable and angry, and at the time of the incident, both the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi fled Beijing, but Lady Clinder made a condition that she not only make Guangxu atone for her sins, but also let Cixi die.

Hearing this fatal condition, Qing officials panicked from top to bottom, and even Li Hongzhang was helpless. At this time, thanks to Sai Jinhua's mediation.

Sai Jinhua is the wife of Yuan hongjun, who was the envoy of the qing dynasty to the four countries in Europe, followed her husband abroad for many years, and is not only good at socializing, but also speaks German.

After learning that Lady Clinder wanted Cixi to pay for her life and to wash the city of Beijing in blood, Sai Jinhua took the initiative to find Count Wadsi, the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance who knew himself.

With Wadesi in tomass, Sai Jinhua met Mrs. Klind. At first, Mrs. Clinder closed the door, but was accompanied by Wadsey before the conversation began.

Mrs. Clinder said: "Beijing is so chaotic, my husband was killed for no reason, the responsibility of the empress dowager and the emperor cannot be shirked, they must pay the price, they must pay Klinder's life." The empress dowager did not pay for her life, so she was replaced by an emperor. Got to avenge Klinder anyway. ”

Sai Jinhua did not hesitate to respond: "Madam, you should have heard that there is an old Chinese saying called killing to pay for life, and debts to pay off." It was a soldier who killed the minister, not the empress dowager and the emperor. The soldier could pay for it, but how could it be possible for the empress dowager and the emperor to pay for it? ”

Wadesi nodded slightly.

Looking at Mrs. Klinder, who was full of anger, Sai Jinhua continued: "Madam, the condition of letting the empress dowager pay for her life is indeed too high, and it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to agree." I think it would be better to let them build a arch like the Triumphal Arch in Europe and apologize to the German government in this way. What do you think? ”

Mrs. Clinder hesitated.

At this time, Vadsi hurriedly said: "This idea is good, since the minister has passed away, build a archway of the arc de triomphe, engraved with the minister's name, he will always let us remember him." ”

Hearing Wadesi say this, Mrs. Klinder was shaken.

In 1901, the Qing court was forced to sign the Humiliating Treaty of Xinugu with eight countries, and in addition to apologizing to Germany, the Qing government also built a memorial arch in the place where Klinder was killed as previously agreed.

Enhai, who shot and killed Klinder, was forced to be beheaded by the Germans for public display.

With Sai Jinhua's mediation, he not only saved Cixi's life, but also saved the people of Beijing from retaliation from the Germans.

Sai Jinhua stepped forward to save the country and the people, and was praised by all beijingers, people called her "Second Master Sai of the Minister of Peace", and some people called her "Nine Heavens Protector of the Country".

Two years after the signing of the Treaty of Xinugu, the Klinder Arch was built across Dongdan North Archway Street. At the inauguration ceremony, Prince Zaifeng was sent by the Qing court to celebrate. Sai Jinhua was also invited to participate in the unveiling ceremony.

She was 28 years old.

That's it, and the next thing is not over. After the Eight-Nation Alliance retreated, Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing, and instead of being grateful for Sai Jinhua's rescue of her, she blasted Sai Jinhua out of Beijing and warned her not to come back in this life.

The same is a woman, the two are compared, high and low.

Cixi's approach has made the world criticize, and Sai Jinhua's wisdom, courage and open-mindedness have become a good story.
