Russia captured Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan. Germany occupied Baoding and Zhangjiakou. During Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, the behaviors of Germany, Russia and France were the worst. They raped, robbed and burned people in the city. They did whatever they wanted in Beijing, killing them if they wanted, and taking them if they wanted. In name, Germany robbed for three days, but in fact it robbed for eight days. Then some local missionaries gave guidance to the enemy, telling them where to get it and where to get things.
The missionaries also took the looted things to the church and kept them for private use. The invading army did whatever it wanted in Beijing, and a large number of treasures in the Palace and Summer Palace were robbed. According to records, the invading army even scraped off the gold plating on the iron cylinder filled with water in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and took it away. At that time, I was crazy to a certain extent, and I was red-eyed. The most hateful thing is that some precious literature classics were also destroyed and plundered by them, such as Yonghe Grand Ceremony and Sikuquanshu, all of which were masterpieces written by our ancestors. It is unbearable that Russia still plays its national anthem in the palace, which is a very serious insult to China and an infringement on China's sovereignty.
During the three days of public robbery in Germany, countless precious cultural relics in China were seriously damaged, which was an unprecedented catastrophe for them. According to records, a Russian commander plundered dozens of treasures made of gold and precious stones from Cixi. Those invading troops who have no bottom line not only rob jewels, but also kill people everywhere, including women, the elderly and children.
