Li Hongzhang refused to sign the treaty between Xin and Chou, and only wrote one word. What kind of scheming is hidden?

When it comes to Li Hongzhang, everyone does not hesitate to think of the signing of the Xin Chou Treaty, and naturally associates him with traitors? Let's talk about the historical background at that time. When Cixi was in power, the late Qing Dynasty was already teetering. Later, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo and Zhang Zhidong, the "four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty", appeared. Of course, Li Hongzhang was the biggest contributor and had the greatest influence on modern history.

Li Hongzhang's participation is well-deserved, regardless of the merits and demerits of the late Qing Dynasty, the pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the signing of a series of unequal treaties with foreign powers. Western powers called him "Oriental Bismarck", and Cixi was the most valued. Of course, he bears the greatest responsibility. At that time, there was even a saying among the people that "without Li Hongzhang, the treaty could not be signed". In this way, Li Hongzhang, who is over half a century old, was pushed to the forefront by the tide of the times.

As early as the 20th century, Li Hongzhang knew that he was in a dilemma, which was caused by the rebellion and instability of the national rebel army and the hegemony and humiliation of a series of foreign powers. When Eight-Nation Alliance approached China step by step, Cixi, who had always been conceited, didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and went to war without thinking. Of course, after Cixi made this decision, she threw the burden on Li Hongzhang, an 80-year-old man. He was burdened by the country and forced by the powers, so he began to write in desperation.

The word "Su" in the Xin Chou Treaty was his font name when he was blocked in the Qing Dynasty. If the name of Li Hongzhang, the minister of the Qing Dynasty, is written out, it is mourning for moral integrity and it is a kind of patriotic heartache. The last face of the Great Qing Dynasty will also be lost, and it will also preserve our last dignity in the late Qing Dynasty.
