义和团运动时期,清政府根据自身利益的需要走上了对外宣战的道路,而地处东南的督抚们根据地方实际需要和全局形势采取了完全不同于中央的对外政策。这种全新的自主外交方式虽“背经离道”,但对历史的发展产生了重大影响。 During the Boxer Rebellion, the Qing government embarked on the road of declaring war on the basis of its own interests while the governors located in the southeast of China adopted a completely different foreign policy from the Central Government according to the actual needs of the place and the overall situation. Although this completely new form of independent diplomacy has “gone its own way”, it has had a significant impact on the development of history.
