You should know that Empress Dowager Cixi was very corrupt and incompetent when she became the ruler of the Qing Dynasty. She led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Japanese army attacked China, and the Qing government was defeated repeatedly. Li Hongzhang was a diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. After the defeat of China War, he could only sign many unequal treaties with other countries. It is because he signed treaties with these countries that people have been very dissatisfied with Li Hongzhang since then. But what he did was actually very helpless, because according to the situation at that time, someone had to stand up and sign a treaty with the country.

In the process of Li Hongzhang's signing the contract, there was an assassination of the Japanese. Japan is unforgivable in this incident. Japan itself didn't want the Qing Dynasty to bargain at the negotiating table, but it was because of this that it agreed to reduce the silver by 65.438+200 million taels. So in fact, Li Hongzhang's experience, although unfair to himself, also helped the Qing government recover a lot of losses.
