After eating the rice, Gao Jun went to find Qin Zheng again. Because Qin Zheng had been there, he could come to him for something he didn't understand.

After the establishment of the Interim Executive Committee, all members lived on the shore because the conditions on the shore were definitely worse than those on the ship. In this era, leaders naturally had to take the lead in demonstration.

However, when Gao Jun came to Qin Zheng's room, he found that Qin Zheng was talking to his wife Zhou Ping. Although the medical staff could stay on the Changbai Mountain ship, Zhou Ping still decided to move ashore to live with Qin Zheng.

Of course, Gao Jun knew Zhou Ping, so he only said hello to Zhou Ping and said goodbye. He didn't want to disturb Qin Zheng and his wife at this time, but was stopped by Qin Zheng and said, "Comrade Gao Jun, if you have anything you don't understand, don't bring the problem to tomorrow."

Zhou Ping also smiled and said, "Yes, don't be polite if you have anything to do."

Seeing that Qin Zheng and his wife were like this, Gao Jun was not polite and told Qin Zheng about Gong Jinyan.

After listening to Gao Jun’s words, Zhou Ping said, “This girl is very pitiful.”

Qin Zhengze said: "Comrade Gao Jun, you are afraid that you are not just about expressing your sympathy for me Gong Jinyan."

Gao Jun raised his head and said, "Political Commissar Qin, I think her experience is indeed sympathetic, but I think some of her actions are too excessive. For example, when she attacked the church, she not only killed the priest who protected the rogue, but also killed a nun. But the nun did not do anything to hurt her. Later, after she joined the Boxer Rebellion, she also killed many foreign missionaries and religious people, and burned some churches. I don't know if these foreign missionaries are all bad people, but some of them are indeed innocent people, even Gong Jinyan herself. Some of them just have a few foreign goods at home and were killed by the Boxer Rebellion. This is not too excessive. Therefore, I don't know how to treat her."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Didn't you appoint her as the captain?"

Gao Jun was also a little embarrassed and said, "Director Zhou, I didn't think about it at that time. When I was so angry, I appointed her as the captain. I always felt something was wrong, so I came to find Political Commissar Qin."

Qin Zheng bowed his head and said, "Comrade Gao Jun, the problem you responded to is very important, and it is also something we will face in the future, that is, the nature of the Boxer Rebellion." He paused and said, "Comrade Gao Jun, how much do you know about the Boxer Rebellion."

Gao Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just remember that when I was in school, I said it was said in the history textbook. It seems that the Boxer Rebellion was a patriotic movement."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you something. Generally speaking, there are two evaluations of the Boxer Movement. One is that the Boxer Movement was a patriotic movement, a spontaneous anti-imperialist patriotic struggle by the Chinese people, allowing imperialism to see the power of the Chinese people, thus avoiding the fate of China being divided by the great powers. This is an official law. The other law is that the Boxer Movement is just a mob atrocity, which promotes cult ideas, a representative of feudal, ignorant, and backwardness. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invades China, the Boxer Movement has to pay the main responsibility, causing huge harm to China. This law generally comes from the Internet, but some scholars have the same attitude."

Gao Jun was stunned and said, "How could there be these two completely different evaluations?"

Qin Zheng said: "In fact, neither of these two evaluations are wrong. It is just that they have different positions. These two completely different natures can be fully reflected from Gong Jinyan's experience. Because the Qing government was incompetent, lost power and humiliated the country, one of the unequal treaties signed with the great powers was that the great powers had the right to preach freely in China. I do not deny that there were no good people among the missionaries and had never done good things in China. However, these foreign missionaries also had considerable privileges in China, and in the process of preaching, they would naturally use these privileges. Some missionaries borrowed these privileges to occupy fields, accumulate money, and even interfered with the government orders of Chinese local governments. These practices will of course cause dissatisfaction among the Chinese people."

"The missionaries are facing the lower-class society in China. Therefore, some social rogues saw Kong Jie, joined the church, and rogues were rampant in the villages with the help of the church. In order to attract Chinese people to believe in religion, missionaries often shielded these religious rogues. Because after the people and the church had a dispute, the government was afraid of the power of foreigners and was frank and frank. This type of activity was called the lesson plan by the Qing government. In the 40 years before the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, more than 800 recorded lesson plans occurred across the country. In addition, this For more than 60 years, China has been bullied by foreign countries, and the doctrines of European churches are different from the customs and habits of the lower class society. This has caused serious conflicts and opposition between the lower class and the church. When this contradiction is irreconcilable, the people will resolve it in their own way, that is, organize violence to deal with the church on their own, and the Boxer Movement was born under this era background. They gathered together to kill missionaries, kill religious people, burn churches, and even confront the government, causing rebellion."

"Gong Jinyan's experience is a typical lesson plan, which is very representative in this era. First of all, the rogues use the power of the church to occupy their land. In order to protect the church, the church put pressure on the government, and the government is afraid of the power of foreigners. Therefore, when the judgment is made, the rogue is frank and framed their family. In this case, Gong Jinyan can only use the power of the Boxer Rebellion to avenge her. In the end, she herself joined the Boxer Rebellion, opposing the church and foreigners. Therefore, the Boxer Rebellion was a spontaneous patriotic struggle against imperialism by the Chinese people, and it makes absolutely sense."

Gao Jun raised his head and said, "So what's going on with another evaluation?"

Qin Zheng sighed and then said, "Since the Boxer Rebellion was a spontaneous anti-imperialist struggle by the Chinese people, there was no advanced idea, correct program or capable group leader. On the one hand, there was also a lot of feudal superstitious things in this movement, just like Gong Jinyan, the Boxer Rebellion claimed that he asked the gods to come to earth, what magical powers were invincible, what Holy Mother, and what Holy Spirit reincarnation. From this, it is indeed somewhat similar to the cult. Use this set of things to fight against the Eight-Nation Alliance's guns There is a reason for not failing; on the one hand, it is the infinite expansion of revenge. At the beginning, the Boxer Rebellion only attacked churches, expelled missionaries and punished illegal religious people, but it soon expanded to oppose everything related to foreign countries. People involved in foreign countries became the target of the attack, causing many innocent people to kill. Not only some innocent missionaries and innocent nuns were killed, but many Chinese people were also killed just because they used foreign goods at home. And so another evaluation was not wrong."

Gao Jun asked again: "So what does this have to do with the Eight-Nation Alliance? Will the Boxer Rebellion have to pay the main responsibility for the Eight-Nation Alliance invade China?"

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "The Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China has a more complex background. The Boxer Rebellion can only be regarded as one of the fuses. However, if the Qing government did not contribute to the fire, the situation would not be bad to the end. Therefore, I personally think that during this period, the Qing government's actions were also to blame, which was even more responsible than the Boxer Rebellion."

Gao Jun said: "What's going on?"

Qin Zheng said: "This is a long story. I will start with the reform of 1898. Comrade Gao Jun, how much do you know about the reform of 1898?"

Gao Jun shook his head and said, "It's almost the same as the Boxer Rebellion!"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "I won't go into details about the reform of 1898. Simple, the reform of 1898 was ultimately failed. Kang Youwei, who led the reform, Liang Qiliang was exiled overseas with the help of foreigners, and Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai by Empress Dowager Cixi. Do you know these?"

Gao Jun raised his head and said, "I know these things. It seems that Empress Dowager Cixi launched a coup."

Qin Zheng said: "Well, after the coup, although Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, she was still dissatisfied and wanted to abolish Emperor Guangxu and replace him with another new emperor. What Empress Dowager Cixi did not expect was that all countries opposed Empress Dowager Cixi's actions and joined forces to put pressure on Empress Dowager Cixi, so that Empress Dowager Cixi could not abolish Guangxu."

Gao Jun was a little surprised and said, "Why should countries oppose Empress Dowager Cixi's abolition of Emperor Guangxu?"

Qin Zheng said: "On the one hand, it shows the strength of various countries, and on the other hand, it is also inaccurate the foreign policy after the new emperor came to power. Emperor Guangxu's behavior of presiding over the reform of 1898 was still supported by foreigners."

Gao Jun was even more surprised and said, "Why do foreigners support the 1898 Reform? Aren't they afraid that China will become stronger after the reform?"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Foreigners will certainly not be so kind. They sincerely hope that China will become stronger. They agree with the 1898 Reform Movement because they hope that after the reform, they will adopt the same political system as the West and open up to foreign countries in a comprehensive manner, that is, they will incorporate China into the Western system so that they can more conveniently use trade means to plunder China's wealth. In addition, China will use Western model reforms to hire a large number of foreign consultants and purchase foreign machines, which will also have a lot of profitable interests."

Gao Jun said: "Is this a peaceful evolution?"

Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping both laughed, and Qin Zheng said, "It can be understood this way, but in the eyes of Empress Dowager Cixi, foreigners are obviously supporting Guangxu and opposing themselves, so foreigners are their enemies. Pay attention to Empress Dowager Cixi regards foreigners as enemies, not from the standpoint of the country and nation, but because of personal self-interest. If foreigners support her to abolish Guangxu, then she will also regard foreigners as friends."

Gao Jun said: "Political Commissar Qin, I understand what you just now, but what does this have to do with the Boxer Rebellion?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I'm coming soon. Although Empress Dowager Cixi regards foreigners as her enemies at this time, she also knows very well that it is impossible to resist foreign countries with China's strength. Therefore, she did not dare to abolish Guangxu in the end, so she had to make Pu Jun, the son of Prince Duan Zaiyi, the son of Pu Jun, the eldest prince, as the "big prince", which is equivalent to the prince. But she couldn't bear this breath in her heart. At this time, the Boxer Movement took place. Because the Boxer Movement's spearhead was directed at foreigners, this was very appealing to Empress Dowager Cixi. Moreover, we have passed the previous period. The Boxer Movement was mixed with a lot of feudal superstitious things, and what kind of magical performances were performed? The Chinese in this era were also very superstitious, so many officials believed it, so they suggested to Empress Dowager Cixi that the Boxer Movement could be used to deal with the foreign guns and cannons of the Eight-Nation Alliance."
