The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing and accidentally opened the Qing army's equipment warehouse. The invaders were stunned on the spot!

 The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing and accidentally opened the Qing army's equipment warehouse. The invaders were stunned on the spot!

Cixi fled in a hurry. Without the leader, these sloppy Qing troops had no motivation to fight. The great powers once thought that the Qing Dynasty was weak and lacking any strength, but they were shocked when they opened the Qing Dynasty arsenal. There are powerful Krupp cannons, machine guns, and Mauser rifles, and there are many in number. Seeing these Western troops can not help but breathe in cold air. If these are all used, they may not even be able to step on.
In the Qing Dynasty's Hyogo, 84 Nordenfeld quick-fire machine guns, fifty-two 37mm artillery guns and thirty small-caliber rapid-fire machine guns were found. To say that this Krupp cannon, before the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the Warlord Zhang Huaizhi sent troops to surround the foreigners' embassy. It took several hours to use 4,000 shells and more than 1 million rounds, but only 66 foreigners were killed.
When the Eight-Power Allied Forces came, only a few soldiers were equipped with advanced weapons, and most of them were armed with cold weapons. Even if it is temporarily taken out of the warehouse, it will not be used without training. As a result, most of the weapons were left unused in warehouses and were seized by the Allied Forces of the Eight Nations. The Qing army, which was five times the enemy, retreated steadily. The Old Summer Palace was looted and burned by the Allied Forces of Britain and France.
