The local people were very angry when they learned about this incident, and then organized to kill the Catholic Church together, killing many foreigners and Christians in China.
After the religious incident in Tianjin, the consuls of various countries were very dissatisfied and asked the Qing government to come up with a reasonable solution. Originally, these foreigners were looking for an excuse to plunder the Qing Dynasty. But after the incident, the Qing government sent Zeng Guofan to deal with the matter.
At the negotiation site, in the face of great pressure from foreigners and in order to save the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan agreed to all unreasonable conditions put forward by foreigners. After all these things were known at that time, Zeng Guofan was called a traitor. Zeng Guofan really succumbed to such pressure and retired, so the Qing government sent Li Hongzhang to deal with this matter. Li Hongzhang handled it skillfully and was praised by the people of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
