As the supreme ruler of the country at that time, Empress Dowager Cixi was very skillful in politics, but it really made people angry in front of national integrity. At that time, the country had reached the point where it had to be changed. However, out of selfish desire, she succumbed to Nuo Nuo before the foreign powers. In the end, China signed many unequal treaties with foreign countries, lost a lot of silver, and people lived in dire straits. But perhaps the most correct thing he did was to reuse Li Hongzhang.
When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi fled with Emperor Guangxu and her party. The following year, Li Hongzhang made peace with Eight-Nation Alliance on behalf of the Qing government. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in the world doesn't know Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang was an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. During the Qing dynasty, many treaties were signed by his representatives through consultation, which shows his strategy. Li Hongzhang is a controversial figure in history. Some people say he is a traitor, others say he is a national hero. Despite the historical controversy, Li Hongzhang was indeed one of the best people in China at that time in terms of personal ability. Although he did something wrong, he was scolded by the people. But if you understand it from the perspective of the country, maybe he also has his own helplessness.
After Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, the powers began to negotiate with China. So Empress Dowager Cixi sent Li Hongzhang to sign the treaty. At that time, the great powers planned to carve up China. At the meeting, Li Hongzhang did not say a word. Finally, he said that if you want to carve up China, the people of China will not agree. The powers scoffed. But Li Hongzhang finally said that if you try to carve up China by force, the people of China will resist and you will repeat the mistakes of the Boxer Rebellion. When the power heard this sentence. I was silent. In the end, China will not be divided.
