Mages are invulnerable? Yuan Shikaiyan pilot test, what is the result?
After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing court suffered a heavy setback and decided to carry out reforms to improve its military strength. A group of ** advocates learning Western military technology and management methods, and conducts recruit training.
At this time, anti-Qing and anti-foreign sentiment was rising among the people, and the Boxer Movement gradually rose. Yuan Shikai conducted recruit training at the Tianjin Station and contributed to the modernization process of the Qing court.
The ** master in the boxers boasted that he had a charm, reciting a spell to make himself invulnerable, not afraid of the shooting of foreigners, he used the banner of "Fuqing to destroy the foreign", killed foreign priests, burned churches, and the people were also killed.
After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Cixi seized power, and Pu Jun, the son of King Zaiyi, was the eldest brother in an attempt to abolish Guangxu. But all countries did not agree, and Cixi had no choice but to give up.
However, Zai Yi and others did not give up, and when the Boxers arose, the imperial court also began to pay attention and began to explore how to deal with the matter. The ministers of the DPRK and China had different attitudes towards the Boxers, and there were constant debates.
Therefore, the will of the imperial court was to suppress the bandits for a while, appease them for a while, and encourage them for a while, trying to fight the foreigners with the help of the power of the boxers. The local ** could not see the political trend of the Qing Dynasty clearly, and some people thought that the eldest brother would replace the Guangxu Emperor, so they began to move closer to Zaiyi and his gang.
Yuan Shikai also thought that the eldest brother would replace Guangxu, so he began to find a way to join Zaiyi's faction. Therefore, in terms of attitude towards Yihequan, Yuan Shikai also wanted to support Yihequan.
In the winter of 1895, Yuan Shikai heard that there was a man in the barracks of Cheng Wenbing, the governor of Fujian, who claimed to be a spell master, who could avoid guns and artillery, and was invulnerable. Yuan Shikai asked Cheng Wenbing to hire this person as a teacher in his barracks.
Cheng Wenbing thought it was just child's play, but Yuan Shikai insisted on it. Cheng Wenbing had no choice but to send this person to Yuan Shikai's barracks. In Yuan Shikai's barracks, this ** division claimed that he could dodge bullets, so Yuan Shikai let him conduct an experiment.
As a result, the soldier *** shot at him, and he was unharmed.
Yuan Shikai tried to test the spell of a ** master with a gun, but the ** master was still unharmed, which shocked his soldiers and regarded him as an immortal. Yuan Shikai had great respect for the ** master, and asked who taught his spells, and the ** master said that it was taught to him by an immortal Buddha, and said that he still had more than a dozen fellow disciples scattered all over the place, and they would recruit a wide range of disciples and eliminate foreigners in the future.
Yuan Shikai was very happy after hearing this, and promised to be the guest of the ** division's banquet, observe his miraculous skills together, and play the Zhili Governor's Mansion to reward him with an official position. Yuan Shikai summoned more than 150 local civil and military personnel in Tianjin to come to the small station barracks to prepare for the performance of the first division.
One of the guests offered to make a life and death statement, and Yuan Shikai agreed, and hired a fellow villager of the mage to act as a guarantor. In the presence of all the guests, the ** division was shot with breech guns by thirty soldiers, but he did not die immediately, but just fell to the ground.
Yuan Shikai told everyone that this was a lie, and it would be fine. However, after waiting for a long time, the ** division still didn't stand up, and even the corners of his mouth were bleeding. Yuan Shikai asked people to check the chest and abdomen of the ** division, and found that he had seventeen holes and was dead.
Only then did the guests find out that the ** teacher was a fake.
Yuan Shikai sent away the family of the ** master with five hundred taels of silver and arranged a funeral. It's not that he doesn't know that the magic of the ** master is fake, but he wants to use the ** master to support his political strategy.
After the banquet, he asked his henchmen to deliberately not aim at the ** division during the test with a gun to ensure the safety of the ** division. However, due to the negligence and lack of skill of some people, the ** division was still injured by mistake and eventually died.
This incident reminds us that bragging too much can be counterproductive, and that there is always a risk when gambling on life. Although Yuan Shikai finally handled it decently and settled down the family of the ** division, we cannot ignore the lessons of this tragedy.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty used their fists to fight against the advanced ** of the foreigners, undoubtedly using eggs to smash stones, which eventually led to the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Yuan Shikai did not support the Boxer under the advice of his staff, and rose step by step after the Gengzi Incident, and later forced Xuantong to abdicate and become **great**.
Although he was the emperor for a few days, he could not escape death after all.
