Old photo: the Qing court spent 600,000 taels of silver for him to set up a house of cards, the country's anger, 15 years later how to push down?

September 7, 1901, the Qing court and the powers signed the humiliating "Xinjiao Treaty". Do you know what the first article of this treaty was? It is not the cession of land, not compensation, but apology and commemoration.

The treaty said, because the minister was killed and murdered, the Qing emperor sent to Germany to express regret, and in the place where he was killed to erect a monument of remembrance, listing the Qing emperor regret the murder of the purpose. The so-called? K minister? , is the German Minister Klindt.

Klind.

We first briefly described the cause of the matter. 1900 June, China and foreign conflicts are becoming more and more acute, war is imminent. June 19, the Qing dynasty in charge of foreign affairs, the Premier of the Yamen note to the embassies of various countries, limited to the ministers of various countries to leave the capital within 24 hours, after the expiration of the period is not responsible for their safety.

In the morning of June 20, Klindt took his interpreter Kodak to the Premier's Office and asked for a delay in leaving Beijing. When he arrived at the west entrance of Xishangbu Hutong on Dongdan North Street, he met Zhangjing Enhai of the eighth unit of the Timing Character Squad of the Divine Mechanism Battalion, who was patrolling at the rate of soldiers.

The place where De was killed.

In that thick atmosphere of xenophobia at the time, En Hai shot Clinder and wounded Kodas (it is also said that Clinder shot first).

Clinde's grave.

Clinde pursued a ? Big Stick Policy? , flighty and notoriously bad in Beijing. He once ordered the Boxers in training to be fired upon, killing seven or eight on the spot. He himself was a criminal murderer and died not in vain.

After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, Enkai was arrested and beheaded by the Germans on Dec. 31, 1900, at the site of Clint's death.

Today we talk about the Qing court for Clinde erected ? Monument of Inscription? Clint's monument.

The Clinder Monument is actually a pagoda, the construction of which began more than two months before the signing of the Xinchou Treaty.

The whole pagoda adopts the traditional four-pillar, three-bay, seven-floor form, hipped roof of Chinese alabaster and blue glazed tiles, about 4.7 zhang in width and 2 zhang in height, and spans the bustling Dongdan North Street from east to west.
