dc.descriptionDong Fuxiang (1839-1908) commanded the second army of the North China military forces reorganized by Grand Councilor / Grand Secretary Ronglu (1836-1903) in c. 1898. His forces consisted of soldiers from Gansu and were stationed northeast of Peking. "... Tung Fu-hsiang and his unruly Mohammedan soldiers from Kansu who were staioned in or near Peking were openly anti-foreign, and on June 11 murdered a secretary of the Japanese Legation. This was two days before the Boxers were invited into Peking by order of Empress Hsiao-ch'in and Tsai-i ... Later Tung's soldiers in Peking joined the Boxers in pillaging, buring and murdering.... On June 20, at a council of princes and officials - from which Jung-lu was absent - Empress Hsiao-ch'in and Tsai-i, overruling the opposition from more enlightened officials, declared war on the foreign powers and initiated the attack on the foreign Legations in Peking. As commander of the army, Jung-lu had to issue the orders to the soldiers under Tung Fu-hsiang who made the attack ...." Hummel (1943) v. I p. 406-7. "...Imperial troops from Kansu commanded by the Moslem General Tung Fu-hsiang..." Diana Preston (1999), p. 48.en_AU
