Opium War is a matter between the court and foreigners

The Opium War broke out because of opium, and banning smoking was the court's affairs, and the people basically did not respond. Instead, they opposed the ban on smoking, some were smokers, and some were smokers, opposing the ban on smoking by the court. Foreigners believe that opium itself is a medicine and there is no problem in other places. . Qing Dynasty people were addicted because they could not control themselves and had nothing to do with cigarette trafficking. Therefore, when the court fought with foreigners, the people were watching; when the foreigners fought against the court, the people provided food, worked hard labor, and did business with foreigners. As long as you give money, the people will actively do business with foreigners and sell things to foreigners. Therefore, the British did not lack the source of materials at all.

At that time, there was no national concept formed. There was a huge crack between the court and the people, weakening China's power. When Westerners expanded in the early days, they basically took advantage of the division within China. During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court encircled and suppressed pirates and eliminated maritime power. When Spain and Portugal came to the coast of China, there was almost no maritime power in China. When Britain came to China, 2,000-7,000 troops invaded the 400 million empire, not only relying on the advanced weapons, but in their opinion, the people welcomed their arrival very much.

After the Opium War in Mainland China, the opium trade became legal, and opium was flooded, becoming an open and legal commodity. Foreign religion also entered the mainland from the coast and entered the hometown of Kong Fuzi . When it comes to foreign medicine, I like it from top to bottom. In the face of foreign religions, the people are also extremely opposed. The reasons for opposition are generally: 's impact on the order of ethics. Confucianism is based on filial piety, while Christianity has only God; the impact on the order of political order is false, and it is true to regard foreigners as the backstage for doing evil, disrupting the local order; the impact on the economy, missionaries become local privileged people, occupy a large amount of land, shelter the offenders, and despise the government.

Both the upper and lower levels of the foreign religion

foreign medicines only harm the body, while the foreign religions impact order, which naturally causes dissatisfaction among the upper and lower levels. In the eyes of the people, churches and missionaries are something that officials dare not provoke. The existence of privileges has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. So lesson plans continue to occur, lesson plans occur frequently in Shandong, and lesson plans occur frequently in other provinces. The Sichuan Dazu Uprising proposed "Shun Qing to destroy the foreign countries" , and later Shandong Yihequan proposed " to support the Qing to destroy the foreign countries " . The court faced Yihequan , and was both afraid and wanted to use it. Yihequan killed the people and burned churches. Foreigners could not afford to offend them, but their hatred of foreigners was the same as that of the court. When the court faced the lesson plan, the weak court's fist for Yihe went from suppression to support.

The consequence of the Boxer Rebellion was that Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, civil society forces and radical nationalism began to generate , and the Boxer Rebellion composed of ordinary people became the main force to resist foreigners, which had never appeared before. While the court was hesitating whether to support or not, the Boxer Rebellion had become a prairie fire. The Boxer Rebellion entered Beijing city , and was ordered to destroy foreign countries . The court chose Yihe Box between foreigners and Yihe Boxes, and the official army and Yihe Boxes together blocked the foreigners.

The court recruited Yihequan in June, declared war on foreigners in July, and fled Beijing in a hurry in August.
