Why is it said that after Cixi held a birthday party, China lost half of its country and started being beaten?

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a woman who had a profound influence on the development of our country. Although like Wu Zetian, she controlled the government only as a daughter, played with power in the palm of her hand, and made all the people in the world The men are all subservient, but they are quite unwilling to make progress and are extremely greedy for pleasure. They only think about the little Jiujiu of some women's families. The two wars more than a hundred years ago, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and the Eight-Power Allied Forces' War of Invasion of China, were all closely related to this old lady. I believe everyone has guessed who this person is. Yes, she is Cixi.

What do the two wars mentioned above have to do with Cixi? Look down. In 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War against my country. At that time, the whole country was shocked. Everyone thought, could a small country like Japan be able to defeat our great empire with a population of 40 million? But Japan really defeated us, which was even more surprising than when he provoked us.

Let’s put aside the warlike nature of the Japanese. With the national power of the Qing Dynasty at that time, was it really that vulnerable? How did Japan win? This is about Cixi. The direct reason why China lost the war was that the national treasury was empty and all kinds of war materials were not in place. So where did the money in the national treasury and the military salaries used for the war go? It is impossible for a huge country with a vast territory and abundant resources to be inferior to the national power of small Japan. Here comes the key point. It’s not that there is no money, there is a lot of money, but it was all used to raise money for the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

In order to celebrate her 60th birthday, the Qing government spent countless amounts of money to get a lot of good things for the Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi liked to watch plays, so local officials invited the best theater troupes from various places to the capital. Prince Shiduo even collected people's wealth and anointing to build a stage with archways along the dozens of miles of avenue from Xihua Gate to the Summer Palace for Empress Dowager Cixi. Watch. Of course, this matter did not happen in the end. After all, Cixi was also afraid of being scolded, but the money had already left the treasury, and no one could find out where it was spent. Just like that, even the extra taels of silver in the national treasury could not be used, let alone any supplementary military supplies. It would be difficult for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 to fail.

The war of aggression against China by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces was entirely caused by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Once Cixi heard that the Western powers were going to take her down, so she panicked and brazenly said that there was nothing to be afraid of these yellow-haired ghosts. Declaring war with 11 Western countries majestically. They won't be polite if you declare war. Eight countries together joined forces to fight. Before even launching his ultimate move, Cixi was frightened into fleeing Beijing, and China suffered the most humiliating burning, killing and looting. In this way, China suffered the most ruthless looting.

It can be seen that this old guy Cixi really did a lot of harm to China. An interesting thing happened when Cixi celebrated her 60th birthday. At the last stage of her birthday, birds needed to be released to promote Cixi's imperial grace. After opening the bird cage, we found that the parrots in the cage were all wealthy birds. They enjoyed eating, drinking and being warm in the cage, but refused to fly away. These birds may be indicative of the court bugs headed by Cixi!
