On this day 125 years ago, on August 15, 1900 (July 21, 1900 in the lunar calendar), the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations entered Beijing, and Cixi Guangxu took refuge in a hurry. On August 14, 1900, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who fled in a hurry, summoned the military minister Wang and others five times in a row, and decided to "leave Beijing" as a "temporary escape plan". Wang Wenshao wrote in his diary: "I was summoned five times, and until the moment I was summoned, only Gang and Zhao were with me. Empress Dowager said: There are only three of you left, so you must follow me. The rest of them go home and have left my mother and son behind. "Except for Fortitude, Wang Wenshao, and Zhao Shuqiao, who were on duty, the royal ministers and other ministers were all scattered and went back to their private houses. Cixi said to Wang Wenshao:" You are old, and I feel uneasy about eating this hard. Er Ke came later. Fortitude and Zhao Shuqiao can ride horses, and they must go with them. "At 6 am on the 15th, Cixi led Guangxu and his eldest brother Pujun to flee in a hurry. When the sky was not yet clear, Zailan flew into the palace, saying that the Yi soldiers had attacked the Donghua Gate. The empress dowager knew that the matter had reached the last minute and wanted to dive into the water to commit suicide. Zailan grabbed her clothes and said," It is better to avoid it, Xu is the last plan. "The empress dowager then left the palace crying, unable to send a hairpin, and Guangxu followed in plain clothes. Longyu, Concubine Jin, and the eldest brother boarded the carriage together, and the princes and ministers either rode horses, or walked, and staggered, forming a squadron of more than a thousand people. From Jingshan West Street, Anmen went west, and left Xizhimen at 8 am. It suddenly began to drizzle, and none of the followers carried rain gear, and they were all drenched and embarrassed.? The followers were Zaiyi, Pujun, Yikuang, Shanqi, Zaixun, Zailan, Zaze, Puxing, Pulun, Gangyi, Zhao Shuqiao, Yingnian, and Li Lianying, the internal supervisor. In the evening, when they arrived at Changpingguan City, "It has been a day since the emperor and the queen mother did not eat, and the people may offer corn and eat it with their hands. The queen mother wept, and the emperor also wept. When the weather is cold, I can't ask for bedding, the village women are brought in with cloth, and the washing is still not dry. Burning a bean dustpan at night, people are lying on their pillows. "Gansu government envoy Cen Chunxuan came to see from Changping," Empress Dowager wept bitterly ".
