Life


A boy named Li Liu was the son of a rebel named Li Mao-tz'e (Li Maozi) who rebelled on the border of Henan (Honan) and Anhui (Anhwei) provinces in 1872. Li Liu was captured when he was 6 years old by Qing government forces in Anhui (Anhwei) and handed over to Yulu (Yu Luh), the governor of Anhui. He was imprisoned in the office of the district magistrate of Huaining (Hwaining) until he reached 11 years old in 1877 and was then ordered to be handed to the Imperial Household Department for castration. His case appeared on 28 November 1877 in the Peking Gazette.
In 1900, when the Boxer Rebellion expanded from Shandong to Zhili, Yulu sent troops to encircle and suppress it, adopting the method of "executing everyone regardless of their leader". At that time, there was a folk song among the people: "When you encounter Mei Dongyi, every family has no food to eat; "With Fan Tiangui, every family is a master." Mei Dongyi and Fan Tiangui were both officers of the Qing Army under the direct control of the Qing Dynasty. Under Yulu's suppression, the Boxers continued to suppress more and more people, and Qing army deputy general Yang Futong was attacked and killed by the group members. The Boxers were supported by conservative officials Prince of Duan Zaiyi, Gangyi, Zhao Shuqiao and others in Beijing . They entered Beijing to attack foreigners in churches. This led to the ministers of various countries asking Seymour, the commander of the British army in Tianjin, to lead a coalition of various countries to Beijing to protect the embassy. On the one hand, it requires all countries to send more troops to China.
It is remembered that Huanglien Shengmu garnered respect for the Red Lanterns after a confrontation with Zhili Governor-General Yulu. Yulu was resistant to Boxer intervention against foreigners. After resisting Boxer efforts even when fighting had already begun in Tianjin, Huanglien Shengmu confronted him. She argued for his support and condemned him for his opposition to the Boxers. In a triumphant success, he conceded to the Boxers and promised his future support to the Rebellion. Historian Paul Cohen notes that Huanglien Shengmu's confrontation is significant because she was both a working-class person talking up to a ruling-class person, and also a female in a highly patriarchal society talking down to a male with unusual success.
On June 17, the coalition forces attacked the Dagu Fort, and the fort guard Luo Rongguang fired back. On June 18, Dong Fuxiang's Gansu Army and Seymour's Army fought fiercely in Langfang . Seymour's Army retreated to Tianjin, and the war actually broke out. On June 19, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Yulu: "Foreign soldiers from various countries want to occupy the Dagu Fort. The situation is urgent and the war has begun. The governor must urgently recruit volunteers, consolidate the people's hearts, and help the officers and soldiers defend and resist. , Don't be afraid to look around and let foreign soldiers come in."
Starting from June 17, Yulu commanded the front army of Nie Shicheng's armed guards and the left army of Ma Yukun 's armed guards to besiege the Tianjin concession area, intending to put pressure on the Western powers and force them to withdraw their troops. On June 27, Dagu reinforcements and Seymour's army gathered in the Tianjin Concession and turned from defense to offense. On July 9,Nie Shicheng was killed in action. On July 13, Yulu and Ma Yukun were defeated and fled to Beicang. On the 14th, Tianjin fell. They fled in early August . He went to Yangcun and committed suicide by taking poison.
Manchu banner garrisons were annihilated on 5 roads by Russians as they suffered most of the casualties. Manchu Shoufu killed himself during the battle of Peking and the Manchu Lao She's father was killed by western soldiers in the battle as the Manchu banner armies of the Center Division of the Guards Army, Tiger Spirit Division and Peking Field Force in the Metropolitan banners were slaughtered by the western soldiers. Baron von Ketteler, the German diplomat was murdered by Captain Enhai, a Manchu from the Tiger Spirit Division of Aisin Gioro Zaiyi, Prince Duan and the Inner city Legation Quarters and Catholic cathedral (Church of the Saviour, Beijing) were both attacked by Manchu bannermen. Manchu bannermen were slaughtered by the Eight Nation Alliance all over Manchuria and Beijing because most of the Manchu bannermen supported the Boxers in the Boxer rebellion. There were 1,266 households including 900 Daurs and 4,500 Manchus in Sixty-Four Villages East of the River and Blagoveshchensk until the Blagoveshchensk massacre and Sixty-Four Villages East of the River massacre committed by Russian Cossack soldiers. Many Manchu villages were burned by Cossacks in the massacre according to Victor Zatsepine.
Western and Japanese soldiers mass raped Manchu women and Mongol banner women in the Tartar Banner inner city of Beijing in siheyuan hutongs in the city. Sawara Tokusuke, a Japanese journalist wrote in "Miscellaneous Notes about the Boxers,": 268  about the rapes of Manchu and Mongol banner girls like when Manchu bannerman Yulu was killed in Yangcun and his seven daughters gang raped in the Heavenly palace.: 268  A daughter and wife of Mongol banner noble Chongqi of the Alute clan were gang raped.: 266  Multiple relatives including his son Baochu killed themselves after he killed himself on 26 August 1900. (Fang 75).
Manchu royals, officials and officers like Yuxian, Qixiu, Zaixun, Prince Zhuang and Captain Enhai (En Hai) were executed or forced to commit suicide by the Eight Nation Alliance. Manchu official Gangyi's execution was demanded but he already died. Japanese soldiers arrested Qixiu before he was executed. Zaixun, Prince Zhuang was forced to commit suicide on 21 February 1901. They executed Yuxian on 22 February 1901.
On 31 December 1900 German soldiers beheaded the Manchu captain Enhai for killing Clemens von Ketteler. Posthumous dishonour was conferred upon Gangyi.
