What is the biggest fraud case in history? The country paid 10 million lives and 45 million taels of silver.
The biggest in Qing dynasty? Fraud case? It was because Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on foreign countries after receiving false secret reports that Eight-Nation Alliance finally invaded the Qing Dynasty. The secret report of Empress Dowager Cixi at that time was Guarga, which she trusted very much. Rong Lu gave it to Empress Dowager Cixi and Rong Lu, but what they didn't expect was that this tip-off letter was actually written by a newspaper, but it caused Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China and caused great losses to the Qing Dynasty.

Rong Hong was born in an officer's family, and was later appreciated by Empress Dowager Cixi and became an important official around her. His daughter Guaerjia? Youlan is not only the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Cixi, but also the biological mother of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Thus, the relationship between Rong Lu and Empress Dowager Cixi is extraordinary. It is not easy to know that Empress Dowager Cixi was so trusted at that time.

During the period of foreign aggression, Rong Lu personally led the Boxer Rebellion. Help clean up the ocean? There are chaotic slogans everywhere; Empress Dowager Cixi mistakenly thought it was Howard the Duck, and thought that the Boxers were invulnerable, but in fact almost all the Boxers had no real skills. In front of the guns and ammunition of the great powers, they are like glass bottles, which are broken at a blow.

Until one day, Rong Lu received a secret report from his subordinates, which showed that the powers intended to support Emperor Guangxu and restore the power of Empress Dowager Cixi. Rong Lu knew that once Guangxu regained power, he would lose his life, so he presented this secret letter to Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi was very angry and decided to take the initiative. So Empress Dowager Cixi rewarded all the Boxers. Finally, the Qing government declared war on the great powers.

In the end, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the Qing government suffered a crushing defeat. Finally, it was forced to sign an unequal treaty. This war not only caused the Qing government to lose tens of millions of silver, but also caused heavy casualties to the people. It's all because of that fake tip-off.
