1 The Boxer Rebellion, 1900 During the late 1800s when powerful western nations (Britain, Germany, France, United States, etc) were engaging in imperialism, China found itself a prime target of western attention. European powers imposed themselves in China with the intention of gaining an upper hand in trade, having access to resources, and partly to make inroads civilizing the Chinese. Part of England s operations in India and China led to the Opium Wars which, with China losing the wars, resulted in an increased degree of foreign influence and control over China. America tried evening the playing field with John Hay s Open Door Policy. Its intention was to give western nations equal trading rights without carving China up. China was not given a say in this policy, nor did many of its people appreciate having their way of life pushed aside. A Chinese group called the Righteous Harmony Fists, or Boxers as they are more commonly known today, formed with the goal of ridding China of foreigners and foreign influences. Foreigners attempting to exert political or economic influence were not the only targets of the Boxers. Chinese Christians and foreign missionaries were also subject to attack and murder. In 1900, the situation was so dire that the rescue of foreigners and Chinese converts was called for. The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austro- Hungary, Japan, and Russia joined together and attempted the rescue. The Relief Expedition of almost 20,000 soldiers from 8 nations fought in Peking and its surrounding areas during the summer of Ultimately the Western (non-boxer) forces were victorious. Though the Boxers believed they Western bullets would not harm them because of their physical and mental preparations and exercises, they were overpowered by the combined, modern, international forces. After much fighting, siege tactics, and negotiations, the Boxers lost and China had to pay $330,000,000 in reparations to the winning powers. Adding insult to injury, the foreign powers were given certain territorial rights in China. "Kill the foreign devils.. Kill Kill Kill Luella Miner was among the foreigners besieged by the Boxers in Peking. She was a professor at the American College at Tungchau, China located at the outskirts of Peking. We join her story as the Boxers attack her compound: June 15: About ten o'clock the most horrible noise began in the southern city, just on the opposite side of the city wall. It was a horde of Boxers going through their rites, burning incense, crying, "Kill the foreign devils Kill the secondary foreign devils (Christians). Kill Kill Kill" They called other things, but I could only distinguish the "kill" There may have been from twenty to fifty thousand voices, not all Boxers, swelling that mad tumult. After two or three hours the noise suddenly ceased. The Boxers in their indiscriminate pillaging had looted a Mohammedan bank. The Mohammedans gathered a band of three hundred, pursued them, and got back their money, after which the mob dispersed. Our lines of defense have been extended to include all the streets bordering on this mission property - three or four streets and alleys being under martial law - and all passers-by are challenged. The same conditions prevail on Legation Street - stray Boxers are captured and passers-by are challenged. The missionaries and Chinese who have weapons all help in guard duty. There are barbed-wire barricades at the end of each street Now, in the compound and adjoining streets we have barricade within barricade of barbed wire or brick, all the walls and some of the small buildings having been torn up to get brick. This is said to be the best fortified place in the city now, thanks to the free labor of our numerous refugees, and if we had a Gatling or machine gun we would feel quite safe....
2 Evening. - This forenoon ten Americans and twenty Russians went to the south cathedral, where the Boxers were looting, burning, and killing, killed seventy Boxers, captured ten, and took Catholic refugees to a place near the British Legation. In the afternoon twenty-five Germans and an equal number of French went to the same place, with much the same result, though not quite so many Boxers were killed, I think. June 18: We have now spent ten full days in this place, and may be obliged to spend many more, for we can get no word from our foreign troops who left Tientsin a week ago yesterday. We are more effectively cut off from the world than ever, for no couriers can now be found to carry mail to Tientsin for the Imperial post-office... We have been surprised that they have succeeded in keeping up the service so long. We hope that in two or three days communication will be open again. We hear that vast numbers of Boxers attacked the railroad station in Tientsin and were repulsed with great slaughter. It is rumored that the relief army is now only ten or fifteen miles from us, but we cannot be sure. Placards are being distributed everywhere in the city commanding that this place and Legation Street be destroyed today...over seventy of us American missionaries live, eat, and sleep in the little church at the British Legation, though a few of the ladies sleep in Lady Macdonald's ballroom, two or three in the billiardroom, and some of the men outdoors. In the church we all sleep on the floor or on the church seats. There are thirty-five in our Congregational crowd, about twenty Methodists, and sixteen Presbyterians. We eat by denominations, but there is only one tiny stove to cook over, so we cannot cook much. If we are besieged long, we shall have to go on short rations. In fact, we are now leaving most of the canned meats for the men, who are doing hard work outside, watching and fortifying.... July 18: About two o'clock this afternoon - four weeks to an hour from the time when we took refuge in this Legation - we received our first authentic message from the outside world. On June 30 a Methodist young man was sent by the Japanese Minister as a messenger to Tientsin, and he has just returned, bringing a letter from the Japanese Consul in Tientsin, stating that foreign troops numbering 33,300 will leave Tientsin about the 20th, day after tomorrow, for the relief of Peking. August 14: At last our ears have heard the sweet music for which we have been listening for two months - the cannonading of the relief army - so plainly that we know that intense desire and imagination are not deceiving us, as so many times before. Our deliverance is at hand. Last night was a fearful one. There were at least six distinct attacks, the first beginning about eight in the evening, and there was almost incessant firing between these attacks. Our implacable foes seemed determined to use to the utmost this last chance to wipe us out. Our garrison returned fire more than at any other time, for now they are not afraid of exhausting their ammunition.... It was a little after two in the afternoon, as I was sitting writing under the trees in the tennis-court, where I have spent so many hours during these past weeks, when an American marine from the city wall ran into the yard shouting, "The troops are inside the city - almost here" There was a wild rush for the south end of the compound, and there, sheltered by the barricades, we stood and saw the first of the relief army straggling up the streets. And who do you think they were? Black-faced, highturbaned troops, Rajpunts from India - great, fierce-looking fellows, but their faces were beaming with joy, and they hurrahed louder than we did. There were British officers with them, and one of them stooped in passing and kissed a pale-faced girlie who looked as if she needed to be rescued by a relief army. All that afternoon the troops came streaming in, Sihks, Bengal Lancers; English soldiers, and, most welcome of all, our American boys.
