SIMONE SOMMERLAND ist die erfolgreichste deutsche Interpretin von Kinderliedern, Musikerin, Mutter von 3 Kindern und Mensch. Ihre Songs sind aus Kinderzimmern nicht mehr wegzudenken, über 70 Alben hat sie unter der Reihe „Die 30 besten…“ bereits veröffentlicht und ihr Album „Die 30 besten Spiel- und Bewegungslieder“ hält sich seit unfassbaren 533 Wochen in den offiziellen deutschen Charts. Ihre Tourneen für Klein und Groß sind regelmäßig ausverkauft, in 170 Ländern wird ihre Musik gehört und 2,9 Mio. Eltern und Kinder schauen sich regelmäßig ihre Videos auf YouTube an. Seit diesem Jahr ist auch ihr erstes Buch „Mach mit, Mausi Maus!“ erschienen.Wir sprechen mit SIMONE SOMMERLAND über ihre Anfänge als Studiomusikerin, ihre musikalische Arbeit als Schlumpfine, ihre Passion fürs Singen und die Stimme, was Erfolg für sie bedeutet und warum der manchmal im Verborgenen liegt, den (männlich geprägten) Kindermusik-Markt sowie ihre Liebe für die Kindermusik und das Unterrichten.Es geht ums „Miteinander-Singen“, musikalische Früherziehung, Kopfstimme, gute Erinnerungen schaffen, Family-Entertainment, die Bedeutung von Mentor*innen und guten Gesangslehrer*innen und warum wirklich jeder Singen kann.Wenn SIMONE SOMMERLAND nicht gerade ihrer Liebe fürs Heimwerken nachgeht, denkt sie an ihr Jazz-Studium zurück oder das Groß-werden auf dem Bauernhof mit 5 Geschwistern.Bühne frei für SIMONE SOMMERLAND: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:Hier findet ihr uns auf YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heretogetheardSIMONE SOMMERLAND:https://www.simonesommerland.livehttps://www.youtube.com/@kinderliederhttps://www.facebook.com/simonesommerlandofficial/?locale=de_DETHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-buehne-frei-fuer-staffel-4-des-musikpodcasts/SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-podcast-creator-gear.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

BRUCKNER – das sind die beiden Brüder Jakob und Matti Bruckner. Aufgewachsen in einer großen musikalischen Familie am Chiemsee mit viel Sport, Natur und idyllischer Dorfjugend, zieht es sie nicht nur als Brüder gemeinsam auf die Bühne, sondern auch in eine große WG unweit von München. Ihr Debüt-Album „Hier“ erschien 2020, das zweite Album „Zerrissen“ 2023. Ihr Musikstil wird als Indie-Pop 2.0 beschrieben. Neue Mucke steht für 2025 in den Startlöchern.Wir sprechen mit Jakob und Matti über ihr WG-Leben, was es bedeutet als Brüder gemeinsam Musik zu machen, wie sie zu BRUCKNER wurden, die Überforderung und Zerrissenheit ihrer Generation, den Fluch und Segen von Social Media, ihre Arbeitsaufteilung im kreativen Prozess und wer von Beiden eigentlich der „Träumer“ und wer das „Arbeitstier“ ist.Es geht um guilty pleasures, GenZ, Leben in Gemeinschaft, das Aufbrechen musikalischer Genres und gute Sommergetränke.Wenn Matti und Jakob sich nicht gerade damit beschäftigen, was ein „sinnvolles Leben“ ausmacht und ob es das überhaupt gibt, machen sie zum Ausgleich gerne Sport (Jakob) oder töpfern ne Runde (Matti).Bühne frei für BRUCKNER: They are HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:Hier findet ihr uns auf YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heretogetheard BRUCKNER:https://shop.bruckner-musik.de/merchhttps://www.instagram.com/bruckner/?hl=deTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-buehne-frei-fuer-staffel-4-des-musikpodcasts/SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-podcast-creator-gear.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Yipiiieee! Willkommen zur 4. Staffel von HERE TO GET HEARD. Meine erste Gästin für die neue Staffel hätte keine tollere sein können als die großartige STEFANIE HEINZMANN!Stefanie gewann mit 18 Jahren die Casting-Show von Stefan Raab „SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD“ (Stefan sucht den Superstar, der singen soll, was er möchte und gerne auch bei RTL auftreten darf“). Es folgten Tournee, Gold- und Platinauszeichnungen, der ECHO, 6 Alben, „Sing meinen Song“ und noch so vieles mehr. Ihr 7. Album „Circles“ steht in den Startlöchern, ihre aktuelle Single „POWER“ ist diese Jahr erschienen. Wir sprechen mit STEFANIE HEINZMANN über ihr Aufwachsen als Gastro-Kind in einem Schattendorf im Wallis in der Schweiz, ihre ersten musikalischen Auftritte in Mundart, ihre Zusammenarbeit mit Stefan Raab, Demut & Dankbarkeit, mentale Struggles, Wut gegen sich selbst und welche Tools ihr dabei helfen mental gesund zu bleiben.Es geht um Selbstfürsorge, „zu sich stehen“, emotionale Ehrlichkeit, den GAP zwischen Generationen, die Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem Team, persönlichen Wachstum und die Kraft der Worte.Wenn STEFANIE HEINZMANN sich nicht gerade mit Spiritualität beschäftigt, würde sie sich gerne an andere Orte beamen können und denkt an die Zeit zurück, als sie heimlich in ihrem Kinderzimmer die „No Angels“ nachsang.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 565 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian reveals a deep dark secret and will robots ever play the blues?Blake has an evil plan and the guys caution him against it and check his credentials for podcasting. Richard saw an ai powered robot on TV and it has scared him so the guys discuss it and Brian makes a confession. He also asks some questions about the future of humanity and Richard has a foolish plan. Richard and Blake have had some late night DAW issues which caused them much anguish and woe and swap tales. Richard also has stupid podcast jokes. Brian questions Blake about his DAW of choice and Richard has a new album to listen to which Brian is unimpressed with.There have been some major moves in the corporate world of music with Samsung buying a number of HI Fi brands and closer to home, Thomann appear to have bought Hughes and Kettner. Blake bursts a bubble when he reveals the source of a musical legend. The guys then talk about band load-outs and why modelling might be the future again. Brian then reveals one of his lifelong goals. Daleks, Oregon batteries, Mullets, Rob Hubbard, Clibbings, Logic JR, Richard Sounds...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastAwesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Contact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Ich nehme euch heute mit nach Treppendorf bei Bamberg zu thomann. Dort sitzen Flo und Robert und planen den letzten großen Ausbau des weltgrößten Stores für Musikerbedarf. Wenn man das Ziel hat, der geilste Musikladen der Welt zu werden, wie geht man da vor? Wo fängt man an und wo holt man sich Inspiration? Und was ist das eigentlich für ein Ort, den jeden Tag über 2000 Leute aufsuchen?

Heute mit Paul Thomann, der in Österreich eine kleine Handwerksbäckerei betreibt, "Das Tho" in Wien. Ursprünglich hat er Marketing studiert und nebenbei zuhause Brot gebacken. Als er dann in der Verwaltung von Joseph-Brot anheuerte, kam er auf den Geschmack, auch professionell Brot zu backen. Seinen ganzen Weg und die Hürden bis zur eigenen Bäckerei erzählt er in dieser Podcast-Folge - auch, ob die Regelungen für Quereinsteiger in Österreich anders sind als in Deutschland. Infos zur Quereinsteiger-Reihe: Wer abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade als Quereinsteiger eine eigene Bäckerei eröffnen möchte, hat es in Deutschland schwer. Um Meisterzwang und das veraltete Ausbildungssystem zu überwinden, braucht es Nerven, Willensstärke und viel Freude am guten Brot. In dieser Reihe nehmen uns Quereinsteiger mit auf ihren Weg.

Der politische Stammtisch meldet sich wieder zurück, in einer hübschen Hütte irgendwo in Süddeutschland, umgeben von Kanonenschlägen und Gewehrschüssen. Und die Unterhaltungen biegen auch gerne mal in eine völlig unerwartete Richtung ab.

Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner discusses Illinois football landing a commitment from three-star Olney (Ill.) offensive lineman Casey Thomann and the Illini promotion of Art Sitkowski to co-quarterbacks coach. Then Mike LaTulip joins Werner to discuss Illinois basketball's 93-73 win at No. 15 Michigan, what the re-emergences of Kylan Boswell and Tre White mean for the team and what he thinks of Friday's home matchup against Purdue in the regular-season finale.

PAULA ENGELS ist ganz frisch im Musikbusiness und startet als Newcomerin gerade so richtig durch. 2024 hat sie ihre ersten eigenen Songs veröffentlicht und war u.a. mit „Provinz“ und „Ennio“ als Support-Act auf Tour. Mit dem Rapper „grim104“ hat sie das gemeinsame feat. „Ende der Nacht“ released. In ihrer Musik kombiniert sie Dark-Pop mit deepen Texten und hat damit ihren ganz eigenen Sound kreiert. „Here To Get Heard“ gibt sie ihr erstes Podcast-Interview und verrät so einiges. Wir sprechen mit ihr u.a. über ihren Einstieg ins Musikbusiness, wie sie sich als Newcomerin fühlt, ihre Pläne für ihr erstes Album, warum sie keine Frühaufsteherin ist, was ihre Generation gerade beschäftigt und die fehlende Sichtbarkeit von Frauen auf Playlisten und Venues.Es geht um viel Fühlen, Struggeln mit dem Erwachsenwerden, Abgründe zeigen, ihre Liebe fürs Live-Spielen, den Support ihrer Bandkolleginnen und die Gleichzeitigkeit von Gefühlen.Wenn PAULA ENGELS nicht gerade mit dem Skateboard durch Berlin fährt, kalte Pizza isst oder die Nächte mit Malen verbringt, sucht sie dringend ein neues Hobby oder hört sich durch ihre Lieblingsalben von Billie Eilish.Bühne frei für Paula Engels: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:PAULA ENGELS:https://www.instagram.com/paulaengels/Live-Termine:https://chimperator-tickets.de/paulaengels/THOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Joris Ramon Buchholz, alias JORIS, ist Musiker, Liedermacher, Familienvater und zählt zu Deutschlands erfolgreichsten Popsängern. Er studierte zunächst Ton- und Musikproduktion in Berlin, wechselte dann an die Popakademie in Mannheim und jobbte nebenbei als Roadie auf Konzerten. Fortan entschied sich JORIS für eine Karriere vor dem Mikrofon statt am Mischpult. 2015 erschien sein Debüt-Album „Hoffnungslos hoffnungsvoll“ und eroberte auf Anhieb die Charts, sein Mega-Hit „Herz über Kopf“ wurde gleich mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Genau 10 Jahre später, 2025, veröffentlicht der gebürtige Ostwestfale nun sein mittlerweile 4. Album „zu viel retro“ und gibt damit tiefe Einblicke in seine Gefühlswelt, thematisiert zeitgeistige Themen und hat seine ganze Band für einen authentisch klingenden Live-Sound im Studio versammelt. Wir sprechen mit JORIS über den Entstehungsprozess seiner neuen Songs, warum er sich gerne im Kreativprozess mit anderen austauscht, politische Haltungen und Themen, die ihm wichtig sind, warum ein Song „rund und nicht kantig“ sein muss, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in der Musikbranche und warum er gar nicht so gerne im Mittelpunkt steht. Es geht um Rituale vor Album-VÖs, Diskrepanzen, Schreibblockaden, ein privilegiertes Leben, Local Friends, ein Fliegenschiss im Universum und warum zu viel Retro das Herz schwer macht.Wenn JORIS nicht gerade an seinen ersten Song zurückdenkt, den er für Emma Watson geschrieben hat, träumt er von einem Leben auf dem Land und freut sich auf die bevorstehende Tour mit seiner Band.Bühne frei für JORIS: He´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:JORIS:https://www.instagram.com/jorismusikhttps://www.jorismusik.deMail Local Friends: localfriends@jorismusik.deTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Im Jahr 2000 nimmt die damals 18-jährige an der Casting-Show „Popstars“ teil und startet mit den anderen Mädels richtig durch: Sie erobern den deutschen Musikmarkt, es folgen unzählige Hits, diverse Gold- und Platinauszeichnungen, Konzerte und eine beispielhafte Karriere mit Höhen, Tiefen, Trennungen und Reunions. Alles zu vereinbaren ist für die damals alleinerziehende, junge Mutter ein herausforderndes Unterfangen.Nadja ist auch HIV-positiv und hatte mit einer Suchterkrankung zu kämpfen. Seit vielen Jahren ist die gebürtige Frankfurterin eine starke Stimme in der Aufklärung um HIV, setzt sich für mehr Bewusstsein und Akzeptanz ein und hilft das Thema aus der Tabuzone zu holen. Musikalisch wandelt Nadja auch auf Solopfaden und schreibt aktuell an neuen Songs.Wir sprechen mit NADJA BENAISSA darüber, was es bedeutet Mitglied einer Girlgroup zu sein, warum sie beinahe nicht Teil der Band geworden wäre, über ihren Umgang mit ihrer Sucht- und HIV-Erkrankung, was ihr hilft Krisen zu meistern, die Vereinbarkeit von Mama- und Popstar-Sein, ihre Solo-Pläne und News zu den No Angels. Es geht um Heilungsprozesse und Annahme, Lost-Sein, Rebellion, Kreativ- und Songwriting-Prozesse, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in der Musikbranche, KI und Wünsche für Künstler*innen in der Musikbranche.Wenn NADJA BENAISSA nicht gerade ihren aktuellen Lieblings-Song „Change Me“ von Tamela Mann hört, denkt sie an ihre rebellische Grunge-Zeit in der Schule zurück oder geht ihrer Liebe für den Sport nach.Bühne frei für NADJA BENAISSA: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:NADJA BENAISSA:https://www.instagram.com/nadjabenaissa/https://www.facebook.com/nadja.offiziellTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Ingo Pohlmann, alias POHLMANN, ist Musiker, Singer-/ Songwriter und seit einer verdammt langen Zeit in der Musiklandschaft unterwegs. In seinen Songs kombiniert er Leichtigkeit mit Melancholie, persönliche Geschichten sind verpackt in ausdrucksstarken und deepen deutschen Texten. Sein Sound ist eine Mischung aus Folk, Pop und Soul und sein Megahit „Wenn jetzt Sommer wär“ legendär. Ingo hat als Maurer gearbeitet und hätte beinahe das Bauunternehmen seines Vaters übernommen. Wie er die Kurve zur Musik bekommen hat und was eine Hamburger Bar auf der Schanze damit zu tun hat, erzählt uns Ingo. Wir sprechen außerdem über seinen engagierten Einsatz für den Umweltschutz, das Hamburger Nachtleben, „Rocker vom Hocker“, seine Vaterrolle, den EINEN großen Hit, Songwriting in „Fantasie-Englisch“, warum er flunkern musste, um seiner Leidenschaft für die Musik nachzugehen und philosophisch wird's mit Fragen wie „Was ein guter Mensch ist?“ oder „Ob die Welt noch zu retten ist?“.Es geht um Widersprüchlichkeit, Band-Rituale, kultige Kneipenstories, sein Flexitarier-Sein, Star-Besuche in der Bar, die Herausforderung des heutigen Songwriting, Gleichberechtigung in der Musikindustrie und Gendern.Wenn POHLMANN nicht gerade der Erste morgens beim Bäcker ist, denkt er darüber nach, wie er das Rauchen ganz weglassen kann und was wir noch tun können, um den Planeten zu retten.

Catharina Schorling, alias CATT, ist Singer-Songwriterin, Multi-Instrumentalistin und Produzentin. Kürzlich hat sie ihr eigenes Indie-Label „Wild Heart Music“ gegründet. Aufgewachsen in einem kleinen niedersächsischen Dorf im Wendland und umgeben von viel Natur und Musik, zieht es sie mit 19 Jahren nach Berlin. Sie studiert Musikproduktion, arbeitet zunächst für andere Künstler*innen als Live- und Studiomusikerin, bevor sie 2018 beginnt ihre eigenen Songs zu veröffentlichen. Für Writing-Sessions zieht sich CATT gerne mal zurück – in eine Hütte weit draußen in die Natur. Ihr einzigartiger Musikmix aus Pop, Jazz und einer guten Prise Experimentierfreude begeistern auch ein internationales Publikum und führen sie für Konzerte durch Europa. Mit ihrem Team hat sie ein alternatives solidarisches 3-Kategorien-Ticketsystem entwickelt.Wir sprechen mit CATT über ihre Vorliebe Independent unterwegs zu sein, ihre musikalische Frühprägung durch Kirchenmusik und Blechblas-Instrumente, Stipendien- und Förderprogramme für Künstler*innen, alternatives Ticketing und warum sich Streaming revolutionieren muss.Es geht um ein nach Innen hören, den Mut „Nein“ zu sagen, bahnbrechende Erfahrungen, sich Raum geben und an Grenzen kommen.Wenn CATT nicht gerade mit alternativen Instrumenten wie einem Besen herumexperimentiert, freut sie sich über ihren erdenden Umzug nach Weimar.Bühne frei für CATT: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:CATT:https://www.instagram.com/catt/THOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Ela Steinmetz, alias ELA, ist Musikerin und Songwriterin mit eigenem Label und eigener Edition. Mit ihrer Band ELAIZA hat sie nicht nur die ESC-Bühne in Kopenhagen gerockt und „die schönsten und zugleich schlimmsten Momente ihres Lebens erlebt“, sondern sich auch einen Namen als Songwriterin gemacht. 2018 startete sie auch dann auch solo voll durch und blickt auf zwei bisher veröffentlichte Alben. Die begnadete Songwriterin liebt alle Genres und passt definitiv in keine Schublade - ob Schlager, Pop oder Rap, ELA findet immer die richtigen Worte für diverse Künstler*innen (u.a. Helene Fischer, Florian Künstler, Kool Savas).Wir sprechen mit ELA über ihren kürzlichen Umzug in die Schweiz, was sie über den ESC denkt, ihre ukrainisch-polnischen Wurzeln und musikalischen Einflüsse, ihre Zusammenarbeit mit Sarah Connor, ihren kurzen Ausflug als Beraterin für ein Musiklabel, warum sie es „liebt, sich ins Studio zu verkriechen“ und sich als „starke Frau in der Musikindustrie“ fühlt.Es geht um Vielseitigkeit, grenzenlose Musik, den kreativen Austausch mit anderen, Leute miteinander connecten, sich trauen, die „richtige Verpackung“ und einen wertvollen Rat ihrer Mutter.Wenn ELA nicht gerade mit irgendeinem weirden Song morgens aufwacht, hört sie privat viel Punkrock oder nimmt uns mit „ein kleines bisschen glücklich“ zu sein.Bühne frei für ELA: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:ELA:https://www.instagram.com/elasmusik/https://www.tiktok.com/@elasmusikTHOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Wer kann das schon von sich behaupten: Einen exklusiven Deal mit Thomann in der Tasche zu haben und über 1 Millionen Follower bei TikTok. Das ist ganz Köln!!! Nachdem mein Mund wieder zu war, ob des Staunens über so große Zahlen bei einem Drummer, der quasi gerade erst mit seiner Schlagzeugkarriere angefangen hat, purzelten dann doch einige Fragen aus meinem Mund... Und dabei fing Marvin fast an zu verstummen. Denn, wie er mir im Vorfeld erzählte, ist er total firm darin Videos für ein Millionenpublikum zu erstellen, hat aber noch nie Fragen in einem Podcast beantworten müssen. Aber das ging, so finde ich, ganz gut. Und so haben wir locker und heiter darüber gesprochen, was der Unterschied zwischen den Social Media Plattformen ist, überlegt, ob ein Studium immer das richtige wäre und einen Deep Talk über das Schützen der Privatsphäre abgehalten.So ist aus diesem Talk ein sehr interessantes Interview geworden über einen jungen Schlagzeughhelden, der gern Bertram Engel die Hand schütteln würde, dem wiederum Millionen von jungen Drummer*Innen die Hand schütteln würden, der aber trotz all des Hypes im Endeffekt lieber auf dem Boden bleibt, was durchaus eine Bemerkung wert ist. Prädikat: Eines der sympathischsten Gespräche, die ich hier so führen durfte. PS: Über mehr als eine Millionen TikTok Follower darf sich der Special Guest im Februar zwar nicht freuen, dafür ist er wohl eine der Ikonen der Schlagzeugwelt. Ich hatte die einmalige Gelegenheit, Steve Gadd exklusiv zu interviewen. Das gesamte Interview hört ihr nur hier im Trommel-Talk von Einfach Schlagzeug ab Februar!

Hans Thomann hat schon als Kind im elterlichen Musikhandel mitgearbeitet – und daraus den weltgrößten Musikhändler geformt. Musikstars aus aller Welt kaufen beim Musikhaus Thomann ein, täglich werden allein 1000 Gitarren verkauft. Nicht mal Amazon reicht an Thomann im Segment Instrumente heran. Im OMR Podcast spricht Hans Thomann über die Anfänge, seinen frühen Fokus auf das Online-Geschäft, den Aufbau eigener Instrumente-Marken und die Frage, warum er nie externe Investor*innen an Bord geholt hat.

EVA BRIEGEL steht mit ihrer Band JULI seit 25 Jahren erfolgreich auf der Bühne. Mit Songs wie „Die perfekte Welle“ oder „Geile Zeit“ haben sie den Sound der deutschsprachigen Popmusik maßgeblich mitgeprägt und wahre Hymnen geschrieben. Aber Eva ist nicht nur Frontsängerin einer Band, sondern auch Mutter, studiert Psychologie und singt in einem katholischen Kirchenchor. Wir sprechen mit EVA BRIEGEL über ihre Anfänge bei JULI, ihre Entscheidung in deutsch zu singen, ihre Rolle als Frontsängerin, Mama-sein in der Musikindustrie, mentale Gesundheit, Psychologie, veränderte Frauenbilder in der Musikindustrie und warum sich „live spielen mit JULI wie eine lange Klassenfahrt und jeden Abend Geburtstag haben“ anfühlt.Es geht um Wahrhaftigkeit, veränderte Prioritäten, implizierte Erwartungen, fehlende Geschlechtergerechtigkeit, Mutterschaft, Verbundenheit und ein „langer Schmerz, der endlich aufhört“.Wenn EVA BRIEGEL nicht gerade an ihre Anfänge auf der Heimorgel und ihre Grunge-Phase zurückdenkt, trinkt sie am liebsten ein kühles Bier mit ihren Bandkollegen.Bühne frei für Eva Briegel: She´s HERE TO GET HEARD!Dies ist eine Produktion von SENTAHOOD in Zusammenarbeit mit THOMANN supported by SHURE.LINKS:EVA BRIEGEL:https://www.instagram.com/evabriegel/JULI:https://www.instagram.com/juli/THOMANN:https://www.thomann.de/de/index.htmlhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thomann.musichttps://www.instagram.com/thomann.musichttps://www.youtube.com/@ThomannMusicBLOG:https://www.thomann.de/blog/de/here-to-get-heard-de/ (DEUTSCH)https://www.thomann.de/blog/en/here-to-get-heard-en/ (ENGLISCH)SHURE:https://www.thomann.de/de/social_shure-gear-fuer-podcaster-und-creator.htmlSENTA-SOFIA DELLIPONTI:https://sentamusic.de/SENTAHOOD:https://www.sentahood.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Vor allem seine unzähligen Alben und Musikstücke für Kinder prägen seine musikalische Karriere.

In dieser Folge spreche ich über das Riemann-Thomann-Modell. Dieses Modell zur Überprüfung der sogenannten „Grundausrichtung“ eines Individuums wurde bereits 1961 von Fritz Riemann und Christoph Thomann entwickelt und liefert auch heute noch interessante Learnings über Teams und Teamdynamiken. Neben einer Einführung in die Funktionsweise des Modells erkläre ich anhand von Beispielen die konkrete Anwendung in deinem Team.

Last time we spoke about the battle of the Taku Forts and the siege of Tientsin. The allied admirals gave an ultimatum to the Qing to hand over the Taku Forts, which they declined. The western navies attacked the Taku Forts officially beginning a war with the Qing dynasty. The seizure of the Taku Forts led the Qing to fully support the Boxers who raised a siege against the foreign legations in Beijing and the foreign settlement in Tientsin. The foreign community at Tientsin found themselves surrounded by 30,000 Boxers and 15,000 Qing with only 2400 troops of various nationalities to defend them. The siege was grueling and the Chinese forces nearly overran them, but the allies were able to hold out until reinforcements arrived from Taku. Despite receiving extra troops and restoring communications to Taku, the allies were still greatly outnumbered and now those in Beijing were in more severe danger.    #64 The Boxer Rebellion part 4:Darkest Days before the Dawn in Peking   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. Much of China's national library, the Hanlin Academy and other buildings had been burnt down by the Boxers. The firefighter teams did their best to stop the fires, which threatened to spread towards the British legation. Countless, irreplaceable books had perished in the fires. Within the legation quarters, they all awaited Seymours rescue force eagerly, none knowing the truth that he had been forced to withdraw. On June 24th, Qing forces deployed a 3 inch krupp gun on the charred Chien Men, the gate opposite of the Forbidden city. They began firing shells into the legation quarters, some managing to hit the British legation. Then the Chinese turned their attention to the Fu Palace being guarded by Lt Colonel Goro Shiba with a small force of Japanese soldiers. A part of the Fu's walls was breached allowed Boxers and Qing soldiers to swarm in. They were met with Japanese riflemen behind loopholed barricades who unleashed volleys upon them. The Japanese were vastly outnumbered, prompting Colonel Shiba to request urgent reinforcements as the Christian Chinese began fleeing the Fu in panic. The fleeing Christian Chinese soon realized it was even more dangerous outside the Fu than in and quickly scrambled back. A detachment of Americans and Germans dashed along the Tartar Wall behind their legations, scattering the enemy before them back towards the Cheinmen as they made their way to help the Japanese at the FU. The Americans under the command of Captain John T. Myers with aid from Christian Chinese managed to build a breastwork across the width of the wall while the Germans built their own fortification. There positions were 500 yards apart, a critical defense to deny the enemy access to the Tartar Wall. Just yards in front of them were Chinese barricades. Boxer corpses lay in heaps with the hot sun just feet away from most of the legation defensive lines. The stench was putrefying, gangs of Chinese laborers would risk their lives tossing corpses over walls when they could. During the evening of the 25th, as the sun was dying down, British author Bertram Lenox Simpson recalled this “The sun . . . was sinking down slowly towards the west, flooding the pink walls of the Imperial City with a golden light and softening the black outline of the somber Tartar Wall that towers so high above us, when all round our battered lines the dropping rifle-fire drooped more and more until single shots alone punctuated the silence.... All of us listened attentively, and presently on all sides the fierce music of the long Chinese trumpets blared out uproariously—blare, blare, sobbing on a high note tremulously, and then, boom, boom, suddenly dropping to a thrilling basso profondissimo.” Gunfire suddenly ceased and created an eerie silence. The foreign troops watched with suspicion from their barricades as the Chinese departed their barricades. A giant white placard then appeared on the north bridge. It was an imperial edict announcing “in accordance with Imperial orders to protect the foreign ministers, firing shall be stopped at once”. The placard also stated a dispatch should be delivered to the Imperial canal bridge, so the defenders sent one extremely nervous Chinese laborer with a written note over. The man was so scared, when the Qing troops began chanting at him, he simply bolted back. The foreigner community were baffled, why was there now a ceasefire? Was it some sort of hoax? Was Seymours force here? Some felt safe enough to go atop the walls and look out into the city. Lenox Simpson was one of them who had this to say of the scenery. “Just outside the Palace gates were crowds of Manchu and Chinese soldiery—infantry, cavalry, and gunners grouped all together in one vast mass of color. Never in my life have I seen such a wonderful panorama—such a brilliant blaze in such rude and barbaric surroundings. There were jackets and tunics of every color; trouserings of blood-red embroidered with black dragons; great two-handed swords in some hands; men armed with bows and arrows mixing with Tung Fuhsiang's Kansu horsemen, who had the most modern carbines slung across their backs. There were blue banners, yellow banners embroidered with black, white, and red flags, both triangular and square, all presented in a jumble to our wondering eyes. The Kansu soldiery of Tung Fu-hsiang's command were easy to pick out from amongst the milder-looking Peking Banner troops . . . but of Boxers there was not a sign.”The foreigners looked on to see the Chinese were busily fortifying their positions, at midnight the firing resumed. Meanwhile the Qing Court had been tossing out quite a few imperial edicts as the conflict escalated. On the 21st of June an imperial edict told the Chinese “with tears have we announced in our ancestral shrines the outbreak of war”. This edict wa accompanied by some words describing the Boxers as patriotic soldiers and that they were being incorporated into the militia's and rewarded for their bravery with silver and food. On the 23rd another decree “ the work now undertaken in Peking by Dong Fuxiang should be completed as soon as possible, so that troops can be spared and sent to Tientsin for defense” It should be noted the word used for “work” “shih” was intentionally vague and a euphemism for a swift massacre, obviously of the foreigners. No one in the foreign legations were aware of these edicts, nor did they know of the plight of their comrades outside Beijing. The one thing the foreigners know in the legation quarter was that they did not just face Boxers, it was obvious to all that the Qing government was now helping them. On June 29th a message from the legations managed to sneak out via a Chinese courier. He slipped out all the way to Tientsin with two messages in hand. The first was from Sirt Robert Hart “Foreign community besieged in the legations. Situation desperate. MAKE HASTE!” The second was from a missionary, telling the tale of what happened to Von Ketteler. The allied admirals were in despair for they all knew Seymours mission had failed and Tientsin was again under siege. The first child born inside the legation quarter since the conflict began was named Siege in the hopes he might actually be raised. Over five Qing armies were now in Beijing increasing the ferocity of the attacks on the legations. The foreigners estimated that on a single night over 200,000 bullets were fired at them by riflemen, but what baffled them all was why the riflemen aimed so high? Casualties should have been massively worse than they were. Some began to theorize the Qing were keeping up a barrage to force them to surrender or flee. By July 3rd 38 legation troops had been killed with 55 wounded. Every window was bricked up to protect occupants from bullets and shrapnel. Doctors and nurses struggled to keep pace with the number of operations. They had no X-rays to help find shrapnel or bullets in patients making it gruesome work. Several ministers' wives were working as nurses, everyone was trying their best to survive. Dysentery was becoming rampant. As bad as things seemed for the foreigners, it was terribly much worse for the Chinese Christians at the Fu. On July 1st, British civilian Nigel Oliphant wrote this in his diary  “the Chinese Christians were dying like sheep from smallpox, we do not reckon Chinese converts in our casualty lists and that he could not therefore be more precise. Morrison went to inspect the Fu, where the Chinese refugees were crowded like bugs in a rug, and was appalled. His doctor's sensibilities were outraged by conditions that were stinking and insanitary . . . children ill with scarlet fever and small-pox, with diptheria [sic] and dysentery.” MacDonald was directing the defensive efforts as the Boxers and Qing assaulted their barricades. Gaps were continuously being made and plugged up. On June 30th, another major attack was directed at the Fu. The 3 inch Krupp gun was battering the Fu's walls prompting the commander of the Italian forces supported the Japanese, Lt Paolini to led a brave sortie against it. Captain Poole had this to say of Paolini's sortie ‘Paolini appeared to have lost his head and taken the wrong turnings.” Yes the poor Italian Lt had led his small party through some alleyways and it seems they got a bit lost. They also ran into Qing forces who fired upon them, Paolini was hit. They desperately tried to escape, finding a small gap between a wall and the Fu. The most desperate fight would be for the Tartar Wall, which if it fell, all hope was lost. On July 1st, Qing soldiers were spotted creeping up the ramp to its top. The Qing surprised the German barricade who according to Nigel Oliphant “fled before the Chinese had fired a single shot, and without having had a man even wounded” The flight of the Germans left the American barricade 500 yards away exposed. This prompted the Americans to pull back, the situation was extremely dire. MacDonald called for a war council and it was decided a mixed force of British, Russian and Americans would storm back up the wall to reoccupy the American position. Fortunately for the foreigners, the Qing had not pressed home their advantage to bolster the barricades. On July 3rd the men gathered under a bell tower and Captain John T Myers who would lead the assault made a speech as told to us by Nigel Oliphant. ““because it was so utterly unlike what a British officer would have said under similar circumstances. He began by saying that we were about to embark on a desperate enterprise, that he himself had advised against it, but that orders had been given, and we must do it or lose every man in the attempt. He then explained what we had to do—viz. line up on the wall and rush the covering wall . . . then follow up that covering wall till we got to the back of the Chinese barricade. He ended up by saying that . . . if there was anyone whose heart was not in the business he had better say so and clear out. One man said he had a sore arm and went down—not one of ours, I am glad to say.” At 2:00am on July 3rd, the mixed force of 26 British, 15 American and 15 Russians stormed up the Tartar Wall led by Captain Myer's. The Americans were hollaring like natives from their homeland as they they caught 20 Qing soldiers sleeping who they butchered and sent survivors fleeing in panic. Two American marines were killed and Captain Myers tripped over a spear wounding himself in the thigh,  but the wall was recaptured. Retaking the wall was the key pivotal moment of the fight. For the rest of the siege the barricade atop the Tartar wall was nicknamed Fort Myers. It was a fitting action to be a prelude to the American celebration of July 4th the next day. The American marines celebrated the 4th with som well earned drinks atop the Tartar wall, must of been hella awkward for the Brits.  Meanwhile Colonel Shiba was struggling to keep the assaults upon the Fu at bay. By late June nearly a third of the Fu had to be abandoned forcing the Japanese to pull back to their second line of defense. All the other nations forces agreed, Colonel Shiba was an outstanding commander and led his small but efficient force to their admiration. Late June brought in some rainstorms that made everyones guard life hell. Many of the Chinese beleived thunder and lighting was a signal from their gods. Temperatures reached 43 degrees, in freedom units thats 110. Black flies were everywhere because of the corpses. The men began smoking cigars from morning till night to overcome the stench and bugs, even the women began chain smoking cigarettes. The situation was becoming worse and worse, taking a toll on everyone. Apparently the French Minister Pichon began pacing around telling everyone who was near him ‘La situation est excessivement grave; nous allons tous mourir ce soir.' [“The situation is exceedingly grave; we are all going to die tonight.” I can be quite annoying with my french, if any francophones listen to this podcast I am actually releasing a episode in french on my youtube channel about France's role during the Pacific War and you will be happy to know I got my wife to narrate it instead of my anglophone accent self.  By the way apparently by this point most of the ministers were doing pretty much nothing to aid the situation. As one of my sources put it, the Russian Minister de Giers took walks between his legation and the British making himself look like he was working. The Spanish minister Senor Cologan was extremely ill. The Dutch Minister Knobel offered his services as a sentry, but also acknowledged he did not know not know how to fire a gun and was extremely shortsighted. The American Minister Conger just walked about, taking a cue from his Russian counterpart. The Japanese minister Baron Nishi, kept silent as he spoke only Japanese and Russian, and the Japanese and Russians were certainly not friends. The German minister, Von Below went into his legation and began playing Wagners Ride of the Valkyries on the Piano, apparently he was determined to die in a storm of music. Thus MacDonald had his hands full and had this to say of his colleagues “The Russian Minister asks, twice, that the British should remove a sandbag barricade which is blocking his withdrawal route to the British Legation. . . . Sir Claude replied that he is being heavily attacked from the north and can spare no men for this duty. ‘Indeed I may have to call upon you and Mr. Conger for help to repulse this attack—so please have some men ready.' . . . Mr. Conger's comment is: ‘We are having the heaviest attack we have ever had here and every man is engaged.' . . . At 2:30 P.M. Sir Claude writes again: ‘It is absolutely essential that the Fu should be held at all hazards. I hope therefore you will order over as many men as possible.' . . . The Russian Minister complies: ‘I am sending you my last ten men, but I must have them back as soon as you no longer need them.'” Being the middle man to all was certainly not the best logistical setup.  At one point the Chinese turned their 3 inch Krupp gun upon the Union Jack flying over the British legation's gateway. Three shells hit the gateway and one went over hitting the tennis court. It was decided the flag was too provocative and MacDonald had it hauled down. Luckily for British pride, the Chinese turned their attention to other targets, thus Mcdonald canceled the order to haul it down. Aside from mediating between all the other nations, MacDonald was greatly frustrated by the lack of news from outside the legations. A young Chinese boy from Shandong province volunteered to carry a message out on July 4th. The message was directed to the British consul in Tientsin and was put inside a rice bowl filled with rice. The little boy was the first messenger to reach Tientsin since late June, he got there on July 21st after a hard and long journey.  Meanwhile casualties were piling up, the French consul general in Shanghai's son was shot dead during an attack against the French legation on July 1st. On July 5th David Oliphant if the british consular service and brother to Nigel was shot while trying to cut down a tree in the Hanlin. David died of his wound and would be buried shortly after. On the 8th Austrian captain von Thomann, the chaos maker, was hit by a shell burst that took him in the chest killing him instantly. Funerals were becoming a daily thing whenever the enemy let up their attacks. By early July the shelling began to concentrate upon the French legation. To make matters worse there were rumors the Qing were sapping mines towards the French legation. Two Qing were then caught and interrogated by Paul Pelliot an archeologist and member of the French volunteer corps who recounted “We killed two prisoners with rifle shots and with bayonets. One said little of significance . . . the other revealed without being asked the existence of a mine being dug in the East.” The Qing began aiming 4 and 8 pound guns at the British Legation, some shot piercing its walls.  After the first week of July, the defenders were in despair finding the ammunition running low. They had 14 shells left for the Italian one pound artillery piece that had been deployed all over the legation. In desperation a munitions expert from the HMS Orlando began melting down pewter vessels, teapots, candlesticks, vases and such to make conical shot fitted with old copper shell casings. The defenders also began filling fireworks with nails and scrap iron, pretty innovative stuff if you ask me. By this point the Qing had only brought to bear 10 artillery pieces into the siege and they were antiquated at that. They most definitely had larger and more modern pieces, but they were not deploying them, puzzling the defenders. Some of the foreigners questioned the Qing gunnery as well, it was as if their riflemen were all at Tientsin and the Beijing troops were all novices. Many of the Qing were able to fire on the outer walls of the Fu at point blank range, but they were not hitting anyone. The Qin barricades were getting closer and closer and the defenders could physically see them mining. On July 7th the defenders came across a rusty old muzzle gun which looked like it came from the 2nd opium war, most likely it was just an old Qing iron cannon. To everyone's surprise it still worked and a American gunner, Sergeant Mitchell cleaned it up and outfitted some Russian shells to it which fired! The new gun was not very accurate, had terrible recoil and made a ton of black smoke when it was shot. But it was another artillery piece and could fire upon the Qing barricades to great effect. Allegedly, Empress Dowager Cixi would go on the record stating to a minister that the cannon was so noisy it kept her awake during her afternoon naps. The rickety old cannon was nicknamed “the international'.  Meanwhile over in Tientsin, Boxers were continuing to terrorize the Chinese Christians and any unfortunate Chinese who had connections to foreigners. The river nearby was said to be clogged with mutilated bodies and human limbs. In early July a photographer named James Ricalton was sent to China to record the Boxer uprising and he had this to say of his travels over to Tientsin “Many mud villages were passed . . . from most of which the inhabitants had fled back into the country. We were constantly passing dead bodies floating down, and on either bank of the river, at every turn, hungry dogs from the deserted villages could be seen tearing at the swollen corpses left on the banks by the ebb tide. It was forty miles of country laid waste, deserted homes, burned villages, along a river polluted and malodorous with human putrefaction.” When Ricalton made it to Tientsin on July 5th he saw buildings in shambles, barricades, smoke and corpses floating in the river. The Qing continued their bombardment of the foreign settlement at Tientsin and snipers made pot shots all day long. The reinforcements from Taku had reached Tientsin on June 23rd, but they were not nearly enough to lift the siege. The Qing were firing 3 and 4 inch quick firing guns from within the Chinese part of the city. Casualties were mounting to around 20 a day. The foreigners stuck within the siege heard rumors that there was conflict between the force of Nie Shicheng and the Boxers, apparently they were not a united front. According to one reporter, Nie Shicheng had deliberately put himself in danger because he believed the orders coming from the Qing Court were impossible to fulfill. Vice Admiral Seymour was no longer in command at Tientsin and a lot of disorderly conduct would be found. Take for example one instance where some French sentries left their position, exposing the position of some nearby British Indian Sikh guards. Herbert Hoover had this to say about what they did “Not knowing what it meant for other than traitors to run under attack without orders, the Sikhs set about exterminating the squad of Frenchmen, which only the most frantic commands of the English officers prevented.”  With the arrival of over 10,000 reinforcements to Tientsin from Taku people were breathing easier, but these were by far not crack troops, many were sailors. The new forces managed to seize two Qing arsenals nearby Tientsin aiding their situation significantly. But all knew their job was to lift the siege and lift it quickly for their comrades in Beijing were in much more peril. By July 9th, with Seymours rescue party still not in sight, the foreigners in Beijing began to doubt it was still coming. In fact that very day a Christian Chinese messenger was sent into the city and returned with some bad news. He told them all Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi were still in the capital and that nothing was known about approaching foreign forces. Everyone fell into despair. Also on that day the British government sent a warning to the Qing envoy in London that his government would be held personally guilty for any damage to the foreigners in Beijing. July the 13th, which yes was a Friday, was a truly grim day for those under siege in Beijing. As dawn rose, the Fu Palace was met with shell fire from the Krupp gun. The Japanese and Italian guards were dodging a hailstorm of shells and shrapnel. The buildings all around were burning and collapsing. Colonel Shiba was forced to order a retreat, he had originally set up 9 lines of defense, but they had fallen back to the last one. No one could blame him, he had led his men fanatically. Captain Poole went on the record to say “I put Colonel Shiba . . . on a golden pedestal for endurance and perseverance.” At 4pm, the Qing attacked from all sides. The alarm bell went off as MacDonald frantically gave our orders for men to dash to the most vulnerable positions. MacDonald was about to order the Russian marines over to the Fu when he received word from Colonel Shiba that he had regained his hold over it again. It was at that exact moment the German second secretary Von Bergen screamed the German Legation was nearly overrun. The Russian marines rush over in the nick of time to meet some Kansu troops charging in. The Russian and Germans led by Lt Von Soden counter charged with bayonets driving them off in melee combat. Then as evening was coming up them a tremendous explosion was heard and the earth around them shook. Two mines had been exploded under the French Legation. The blast completely destroyed the second secretaries house and the ministers house and killed two French sailors as they collapsed. But it would be the Qing who suffered the most, as they had misjudged the force of the blast. The foreigners would watch throughout the night as they were frantically digging the tunnels out trying to save countless who got buried alive. Qing carts carried away perhaps 30 bodies from the crater. With the legation so battered, many predicted the French would be forced to pull back to the Hotel de Pekin.  In the meantime in the Hanlin area, Captain Poole led a small group through some broken down walls to take up a position in the ruined library. The men grabbed bricks and sand bags to create new defensive positions. They were so close to the Qing soldiers, they could hear them complaining to another about terrible rice rations. Although there was no breakthrough and many Qing had died in the blast, the French Legation and Fu Palace had shrunk considerably, 5 men were dead and 10 wounded. The most important position, the Tartar Wall had Captain Newt Hall replacing the wounded Captain Myers to command the US Marines. The Marines were all suffering from diarrhea and drank far too much.  On July 14th, a Chinese messenger who had been sent out on the 10th returned. He had been captured by the Boxers and beaten quite badly, before he was grabbed by some Qing forces working on behalf of Prince Qing. They helped him recover and Prince Qing gave him a message that blamed the attacks on the legations actions and that of the foreign soldiers at Taku. It advised any ministers alive to come take the protection of the Zongli Yamen, promising them safe conduct as long as they did not bring armed guards to accompany them. As you can imagine the message was not trusted one bit. However two days later the French took a Qing soldier prisoner and he told them there was conflict between Prince Duan and Prince Qing. This led some to think perhaps Prince Qing could be trusted. MacDonald sent out a messenger to tell the Zongli Yamen that they would not stop defending themselves and if they wanted to negotiate, they should send a official with a white flag.  While they waited for a response, Colonel Shiba sent word that all his sailors and volunteers were exhausted. They had been on duty since June 20th and not a single man had even changed his clothes, nor any had taken more than 3-4 hours of consecutive sleep. Shiba asked that his men be taken off duty for 24 hours to recuperate and if the British could sent help. MacDonald could only agree as all knew the Japanese had fought like lions for weeks. On July 16th, Captain Strouts led a relief party to the Fu, accompanied by George Morrison who recalled a traumatic event “we were caught in a shower of bullets. I . . . felt a cut in my right thigh. At the same moment, ‘My God,' said Strouts, and he fell over into the arms of Shiba, who was on his left. Shiba ran for a surgeon while I tried to apply a tourniquet but it was no good. The thighbone was shattered and Strouts's body was “soaking in blood.” Both myself and Strouts were carried by stretcher to the hospital, under such heavy fire that a bullet passed through Shiba's coat. It was immediately obvious that nothing could be done for Strouts, who had a severed artery in his thigh. He died three hours later”. Captain Wray replaced Strouts to command the British Marines taking up the Fu position. MacDonald figured by the end of July, there would be nobody left to oppose Dong Fuxiangs forces from storming in and killing men, women and children all. The night they were burying Strouts, the messenger they had sent to the Zongli Yamen was returning with a letter. The message was stated to be from Prince Qing “and others”. It begged the ministers to refrain from attacking the Qing soldiers and promised their government would “continue to exert all its efforts to keep order and give protection”. The messenger also carried a cipher telegram for Conger the official from the United States. It read “communicate tidings bearer” it had no date and no indication of who it was from, but it was the first communication received from the outside world since mid june. Conger wrote a cipher response stating “For one month we have been besieged in British Legation under continued shot and shell from Chinese soldiers. Quick relief only can prevent general massacre.” The next day Conger found out the telegram had been sent on June 11th and was transmitted by the Qing envoy to Washington Wu Tingfang. When Washington received Congers message, they assumed it was a forgery and that all the foreigners had been massacred.  By mid July, most of the world assumed the foreigners in Beijing were dead. In fact many newspapers wrote of how everyone had died and even made obituaries for some of the ministers. Many news outlets would be embarrassed come August when it became known the foreigners were alive and fighting still. MacDonald replied to the message from Prince Qing et al, by suggesting a ceasefire might be a goodway to show some goodwill. Prince Qing agreed and gave the ministers assurance there would be no fighting and a truce would begin on July 17th. The foreigners were in shock, what was to happen next?

The foreign defenders within Beijing were barely holding on losing men, food and ammunition. Then as if a miracle, the Qing provided them a truce…or was it all some foul trick to finally deal the killing blow?

Last time we spoke about the Qing - Boxer siege of Beijing and the 8 nation alliance expedition led by Seymour. Baron Von Ketteler was murdered by Kansu soldiers, ushering in a real siege of the foreign legation's in Beijing. The situation was dire, communications were cut and soon the railways also. The foreign ministers called for aid and thus came an expedition of 8 nations led by Seymour to the rescue. Seymours expedition started out quite well, but soon the Boxers disrupted the tracks stopping them in…well their tracks. To the dismay of the westerners it turned out the Qing were joining the Boxers in battle against them and Seymour's force had to make a fighting withdrawal back to Tientsin. They fought all the way to a secret arsenal where they dug in, until another relief force rescued them! Now they all marched back to Tientsin as gunfire could be heard.   #63 The Boxer Rebellion part 3: The Siege of Tientsin & Battle of the Taku Forts   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. When Seymour set out on his expedition a lot of events had unfolded. I mentioned it a few times, but gunfire could be heard by his expeditionary forces coming from Tientsin. When thousands of Boxers began storming the region looking to kill christians and foreigners, many flocked to Tientsin. Tientsin consisted of two adjacent but quite different subdivisions. To the northwest was an ancient high walled chinese city around 1 mile per side. 2 miles southeast along the Hai River were the foreign settlements around half a mile wide. The chinese city held around a million Chinese, the foreign settlements around 700 foreign civilians with their thousands of Chinese servants. The Boxers came at first to the railway station carrying placards and chain letters stating “Those who see this sheet and distribute six copies will deliver a whole family from calamity. If ten sheets are circulated they will save an entire district. If any see this hand-bill and fail to disseminate it they will certainly be beheaded.” Within mere hours of Seymour's expedition departing, reinforcements were landed at Taku to head over to the foreign settlements at Tientsin to defend them. On June 11th, Commander Beatty of the Royal Navy had 150 sailors, marines and 2 Maxim machine guns with him. He would be joined a few days later by 1600 Russians who rushed to the scene from Port Arthur, before their railway lines were cut by Boxers. Alongside the other nations forces, Tientsin had roughly 2400 troops to defend the foreign settlements, facing a force of 30,000 Boxers and 15,000 Qing soldiers camped nearby.  On June 15th the Boxers began burned down all the missions outside the Chinese city like the Notre Dame Des Victories. They stormed the streets attacking Chinese christians, massacring as they went. They destroyed all christian and foreign goods or property they could find. The foreigners in the settlement watched this unfold in horror from a distance, then at 2am on the 16th they were attacked. Beatty recalled seeing Boxers “came in great strength, setting fire to all the Houses and outlying Villages they could. . . . They came on quite heedless of the Volleys we opened on them, never replying because the poor beggars had no arms to reply with, and coming up to within 300 and 400 yards armed with swords, spears, and torches. So there we squatted, knocking them over as they came along.” Chaos ensued in Tientsin, as the Admirals on their warships off the Taku Fort bar became more and more anxious.  The western navies had received no word since June 10th, Tientsin was clearly under attack and Seymours expedition force was gone. Seymours last message to them came on the 14th and all evidence suggested the Boxers and Qing would block the way between them and Tientsin. The Qing naval forces were seen priming torpedo tubes on their warships and laying mines in the rivers mouth. The entire situation looked like a trap. If the Peiho river was closed, the naval squadrons would be unable to rush up it to rescue the civilians of Tientsin and Beijing. On the 16th the Admirals met aboard the Russian flagship. They all formed a multinational ultimatum that was issued to the Qing, the Taku forts had to be surrendered by 2am the next day or they would attack. A russian officer was sent to deliver the message to the Taku Fort commander who responded “I would be glad to surrender the Forts, but I am here to obey orders”. The French consul general in Tientsin then took it upon himself to telephone the local viceroy and advised him to surrender the Taku Forts or face the consequences. The Admirals knew their actions were tantamount to declaring war on China and that taking the Taku Forts would not be easy. The Taku Forts were 4 forts with pairs of 2 on each side of the river mouth. They had been recently rebuilt and reinforced by German engineers. The walls were made of mud mixed with chopped straw, which might sound silly, but this made them impervious to shell fire. Their garrison was around 3000 men, equipped with quick firing Krupp guns and other heavy pieces. Approaching from the sea was the most hazardous and would see men fighting through oozing mud flats surrounded by sharpened stakes. The Qing Navy held 4 new German built destroyers equipped with rapid fire guns patrolling near the forts. To attack them by land was also not favorable it would see men clamoring over small canals, irrigation works and behind the forts were the Boxer infested towns of Tongku and Taku. Another issue was the Taku mud bar, it only allowed shallow water vessels to pass, the allied navies only had 9 ships that could pass; 3 British ships the HMS Algerine, Fame and Whiting; the German Iltis; Russian Gilyak, Bobr and Koreytz; French Lion and Japanese Atago. 900 men consisting of 380 British, 300 Japanese, and the rest Russian, Austrian and Italian were loaded aboard the 9 ships as the allies, we shall call them that from now on for simplicity by the way, awaited the deadline on June 16th for the Qing to respond. All the warships arranged their broadsides aimed at the Taku forts with a bombardment order to commence at 2am if the Qing did not respond. However the Qing did respond, by opening fire at 12:50, as a eye witness recalled ““A shell shrieked over the Algerine in unpleasant proximity to her topmasts”. To this 7 of the 9 allied ships opened fire. The Russian gunboat Gilyak made the poor decision of turning her searchlight, turning her immediately into the most prominent target, she was nearly sunk by shell fire. The HMS Fame and Whiting pulled in close trying to capture the Qing destroyers and within the mayhem the two ships managed to slip upstream abreast of the 4 Qing destroyers. At Lt Keyes aboard the Fame recalled “The shells were literally shrieking around us; several fell just short and splashed muddy water right over us; several pitched just over; we really had a charmed existence.” The British destroyers cast out whaler ships holding dozens of men to board the Qing destroyers. The British sailors and marines boarded the Qing destroyers with ease, capturing all 4 without firing a shot and receiving no casualties. Lt Keyes gave explicit orders to hit men not to fire upon the Qing who were in the process of escaping up the riverbank. Meanwhile the Russian gunboat Korietz was severely damaged by the opening salvo; the Monocacy despite being at quite a distance holding many women and children aboard took a far flung shell to her bow, luckily not hurting anyone. The Qing fort guns were very accurate managing hits on the HMS Whiting, SMS Iltis, French Lion and Giliak was forced to ground  herself lest she be sunk. Giliak had 18 deaths and 65 wounded. Meanwhile at 3am landing parties began their advance upon the forts, struggling through thick mud. The first fort was on the north bank and the landing forces came at it with bayonets pointed. British and Japanese troops were the first to scale its walls and they were even racing another. British officer Cradock recalled “I was frantic at the idea of the Japanese getting in first; they were very keen and in better condition than anyone else.” The union jack was soon hoisted followed by the rising red sun, the defenders of the Fort made a symbolic defense, but fled quickly.  As the men cheered, suddenly two Qing soldiers burst out of a gateway 20 yards away with bayonets fixed firing their rifles as they marched forward from the hip. A Lt emptied his revolver at them and pulling out his sword to defend himself. The allied troops raced towards the second fort on the northern bank as allied shells struck its walls. The air was filled with dust and smoke as the Qing soldiers fired their guns until the last minute upon which they fled. There was to be barely a need to seize the southern forts. The Qing commander was seen galloping away on a white horse and as the Shanghai Mercury put it “The forts were a mass of ruins, rivers of blood, with headless and armless bodies everywhere, which the blue-jackets were gathering together and cremating in heaps.”  The allied troops in the northern forts turned their guns on the southern forts. One shot hit a powder magazine exploding a part of the southern fort walls, creating a large fire. Through the smoke and dust the Qing defenders could be seen abandoned the forts. By 6:30am the battle of the Taku fort was done. By 8am many of the allied troops were coming back aboard their ships, the allies had suffered 172 casualties. Rivers of blood were seen around the forts. The survivors of the carnage aboard ships or the forts ate tinned beef, salmon and ship biscuits reflecting on their good fortune to be alive. With only 9 ships the allies had secured the mouth of the river. All in all it was a brave action helped considerably with some luck. Many questioned its necessity as it undoubtedly would increase the attacks upon the foreign legations in Beijing. Herbert Hoover recalled “it was this act of aggression which marked the downfall of the moderate party in Peking, unmasked the gigantic plot of the powerful party behind the Boxers, and turned the Government over definitely into their hands . . . no more favorable moment could have been chosen by our Admirals to precipitate a general massacre.” At the same time it was happening, MacDonald had been sending assurances to Empress Dowager Cixi that Britain wished to remain on friendly terms with China. Cixi was literally receiving reports of the attack on the Taku Forts as MacDonald's letters came in and when he found out he wrote “this would put the old buddha in a good temper”. Back over in Tientsin's foreign settlement, people could hear the loud gunfire coming from the Taku Forts. At 8am Tientsins foreign community received word the Taku Forts had been taken and now all wondered what would happen next. As recalled by Lou Hoover in Tientsin “All the forenoon at Tientsin there was an ominous silence, nothing doing on either side, each waiting for the other to play the next card, neither knowing the result of the attack at Taku, and yet both sides knowing that now we were committed to a war, if not with China itself, with Northern China and the Manchu Dynasty.” At 3pm Qing artillery began to open fire upon the foreign settlements. Shells were hissing overhead, explosions followed everywhere. An alarm bell began to ring on the Municipal Hall as foreign residents ran through the streets. Rifle fire was cracking against brick walls as civilian dived for cover. It looked like a hopeless situation, 600 foreigner civilians were trapped in a mile long by quarter mile wide area bounded by a river on one side and a flat plain on the other. It was a maze of narrow alleys and single storied Chinese houses, perfect conditions for snipers. The whole was enclosed by a mud wall around 15 feet high and wide enough for 4 people to stand across. As Midshipman C.C Dix recalled “The prospect was hardly brilliant; inside the settlement was a mixed force of 2,400 men, with nine field guns, and a few machine guns; outside were 15,000 Imperial troops, with immense numbers of quick-firing guns. Their ammunition was of the best, and practically unlimited, and they had the dreaded Boxers at their back.”  The most senior officer in Tientsin at the time was Russian Colonel Wogack who took control of the multinational force of Americans, Russians, Australian, Germans, French, Japanese and Italians, the except of course were the British who chose to be led by Captain Bayly of the HMS Aurora. The Russians deployed in a very exposed position trying to defend the railway station on the opposite side of the river from the foreign settlement. They were in close proximity to a Chinese grave site, some houses and ditches, places Qing snipers could hide in. With the Russians were the French who took up a position in front of the French concession at the north end of the settlement near the Taku road. The Americans defended a stretch with the British along the eastern side of the entire settlement; it was a very thin line. The Germans, Austrians, Japanese and Italians deployed along the mud wall near the riverbank. Civilians who were capable were given the task of policing, sentry, engineering and medical duties. Herbert Hoover and his men were the only engineers in Tientsin, Colonel Wogack asked them to get people building barricades. Hoover and the men frantically searched for Chinese laborers to help and any materials that were sturdy enough for barricades. As Hoover recalled “Soon we . . . had a thousand terrified Christian Chinese carrying and piling up walls of sacked grain and sugar along the exposed sides of the town and at cross streets.” Within the first hours of battle it seemed the Qing and Boxers would overrun them. Hoover had this to say “With the smoke of many burning buildings pouring over the settlement, with the civilians erecting barricades across the streets for the final rush, the terrific bombardment, the constant sound of rifle-fire in the distance, and the knowledge,—if not the sight,—of the scores of wounded brought in from the lines—it all seemed bad—very bad. It was really the climax of terror, of the black fear, as it was of the fighting. And this was the ‘black fear,' not that the siege would be successful and we should be compelled to lower our flag and surrender to an honourable enemy,—but that, if every man fought to his utmost strength and was beaten, there were without,—Chinamen, —mobs of Chinamen, at their very worst,—barbarians who knew no quarter.”  The women, children and non combatants huddled in fear within the catacombs beneath Gordon Hall, the most robust stone municipal building available. The Qing assault was first directed at the railway station. Upon seeing this Commander Beatty formed a bridge of boats and took sailors across to reinforce the Russians, but they soon became pinned down. The sailors tried to hide amongst some Russian artillery horse carriages as Chinese artillery and snipers fired hell upon the area. The allied forces had to allow the Chinese to approach closer, because their artillery and snipers were wielding an enormous advantage, no one could stand up right unless they wanted shrapnel or sniper bullets to hit them. Those who did advance were armed Boxers who were driven off by volley fire from the defenders. The defenders could not know this, but the Boxers and Qing despite appearances were not really coordinating together. The Qing troopers were awaiting orders from Beijing whether they were to support the Boxers or the protect the foreigners! It was only a result of the attack upon the Taku forts that finally led the Qing government to officially take the side of the Boxers and orders began to trickle over to support them. Despite the official orders, there were many moderates counter ordering and commanders out in the field who did not support the Boxers and were only putting up symbolic efforts at battle. General Nie Shicheng led the forces in the field overall and he had his artillery fire constantly, it is reported nearly 60,000 shells would be fired upon the foreign settlements. These shells however, much akin to what occurred during the first sino-japanese war, were not all exploding upon impact. Corruption was still rampant and the shells were quite lackluster in their results. The Boxers who did advance were quickly met with volleys at close range, and Beatty noted this of the Russians s “they worked their guns like men, scorning to build up protection with the bales of goods that were there and which we utilized for our riflemen.” Beatty was less impressed with the Germans who continuously sent messages stating they were under heavy attack and required reinforcements, lest they be forced to abandon their positions. According to Beatty the Germans were crying wolf and he made it clear they would receive no reinforcements from the British. Sailors and marines pushed through against Qing and Boxer infiltrators tossing them out. The allied forces formed a closed ring around the civilians as Hoover described it “It was in the center that the melodrama and comedy were played—the rim was nearly all tragedy.” Sniper fire was coming from within the settlements prompting wild hunts. Chinese Christians within the settlement numbered 3-4 thousand were prime targets for Boxer attacks. Hoovers wife Lou Hoover volunteered at the hospital using a bicycle to move between alley's and had a sniper bullet hit her tire once. The hospital saw around 200 wounded brought in a day, people requiring bandages, bedding, dressings, disinfectants all of which were in short supply. Tientsin was under siege. Herbert Hoover bicycle around the defensive perimeter braving the streets to see his barricades were working. The situation was incredibly stressful for the civilians, cooped up together while artillery and gunfire raged outside their buildings. According to Herbert Hoover many friendships ended because of the stress and he recalled ““No one will again dare to organize a dinner party in Tientsin without consulting an inmate of Gordon Hall, for how could Mrs. E. ever sit at meat again with Mrs F., who slapped Mrs. E.'s Peking pug?” So…someone slapped a pug? War never changes. By the 22nd of June things were becoming critical. Commander Beatty had been shot and was losing a ton of blood after the attempted seizing and enemies gun in a narrow escape when a shell burst near him. The men fighting in the barricades were mutilated by shellfire and gunshot. Contact with Taku had been lost on the 17th, casualties were piling up and the settlement was completely surrounded, there was no escape. The only reason the settlement had not already been overrun was because the Qing and Boxers were not working in concerted efforts to simultaneously hit all fronts. The Russians sent word that if the fighting continued the way it had been for the past 4 days, their ammunition would run out and they advised preparing a night time escape. Their recommendation was for the women, children, wounded and sick to be escorted by the Germans, Austrians, French, Japanese and Italians while the Russians and British would perform a rearguard. Upon hearing this, the very injured Beatty remarked “it was the maddest, wildest, damndest, rottenest scheme that could emanate from the brain of any man. Doing this would mean abandoning Seymour to certain destruction”. Beatty made it known to the Russians the British would not comply. Unbeknownst to them all, help was on its way and quite close by. On June 19th, my birthday random factoid, a young British volunteer, James Watts set out with 3 Cossacks in an attempt to make contact with Taku. They men rode through hostile villages as Boxers tried to attack them. Watt carried a message from Captain Bayly stating “Hard pressed, heavy fighting; losses, 150 killed and wounded; Chinese Imperial Artillery shelling the Settlement; women and children all in cellars; fires all over the Settlement; every one worn out with incessant fighting.” A rescue force of Russian infantry and American marines had already been dispatched but they were pinned down near the outskirts of Tientsin. According to one American Gunnery Sergeant “We fell into a trap . . . we laid on our faces with the bullets coming like hail not knowing what to do . . . we fell and got up, staggered, crawled—but got out. I never saw such a tired party in my life and yours truly was on the hog!” The force was 131 US marines and 400 Russians who got ambushed 2 miles from the city. The Americans suffered 3 deaths, 13 wounded before they withdrew back to Taku. Bayly's message made it clear a more substantial force was required.  Taku and her forts were left with just 1000 men as a garrison as the allies prepared an expeditionary force. Luck was theirs again, as two new warships arrived, the HMS Terrible from Hong Kong carrying 300 Royal Welch Fusiliers and a Russian troopship from Port Arthur carrying hundreds of Russian troops. On June 23rd a multinational force 2000 men strong set out which also held the British 1st Chinese regiment from Weihaiwei, so even some Chinese troops were in their ranks. They rushed up to Tientsin reaching it the same day and upon seeing them the Qing and Boxers dispersed into the east. Lou Hoover described the scene of their arrival to Tientsin as such “A good many hundred civilians and a couple of thousand troops sat still and repelled faint hearted charges while 10,000 or 15,000 Chinese troops and 20,000 Boxers plunked shells of all sizes into us for exactly one week without a sound or a word from the outside reaching us. Then the first relief cut their way into us . . . enough to get in but not to do anything more than we could when they got there.”  With the Chinese siege lifted momentarily, the lines of communication and supplies from Taku to Tientsin were quickly restored. However Tientsin's battle was nowhere close to be over as the Qing and Boxers would quickly remount their siege.  Back over in Beijing the foreign legations work up to their first day of siege on the 21st. The first hours of the siege brought panic, the Austrians from the offset abandoned their isolated legation to fall back upon the French barricades leaving the northeast sector in enemy hands. The next day, Professor Huberty James who had been working with missionaries at the Fu Palace calmly walked up to the north bridge going over the canal. He gave the appearance of someone trying to parley, but Qing troops on the other side shot him dead upon the bridge. They all awaited Seymours rescue party, but it was not to be seen. A letter from Captain McCalla, Seymour's second in command dated June 14th managed to pass through to the American legation. The letter had been written 35 miles from Beijing and whose contents were nothing more than small chat, indicating nothing about when they would arrive. On June 22nd, by 9am the Italians, Austrian, French, German, Japanese, Russian and American detachments suddenly abandoned their positions and frantically ran to the British legation. Three-quarters of the legation quarters defenses were left undefended, including the Fu Palace, which held nearly the entire Chinese christian population that had fled into the legation quarters. Everyone was in a tremendous panic, it turned out a single man had caused it. Captain von Thomann of the Austrian cruiser Zenta whom from the offset of hostilities had been trying to take command of the defenses for the legations went into a panic when he reportedly was told the American legation had to be abandoned by a random American marine. Von Thomann lost his wits at the news and without verifying it to be true began screaming to everyone that all forces east of Canal street had to retreat immediately to the British legation. So yeah, everyone blindly began running. Once everyone figured out what had happened all the troops were ordered to retake their positions, but in the mayhem the Italian legations was already being burnt down. Boxers and Qing forces occupied the allied barricade in the Customs street, but had failed to press their advantage further. Von Thomann was relieved of command and now it was MacDonald in command. MacDonald was an ex-soldier, but held little experience in the guerilla style warfare they faced. MacDonald also had no official control over any non British forces. MacDonald would write orders and give it to the respective ministers who would arrange them to be carried out. It was a terrible system, but it was all they had it seemed. One of MacDonalds first orders was to dispatch the Italian guards who had no legation to guard to help the Japanese with the Fu Palace defenses. If the Fu Palace were to fall, the French, German and Japanese legations would be cut off from the British legation which was the last stronghold. MacDonald took a stock of the legations defenses: over 400 men, 20 officers and 389 men of 8 differing nations. They were supplemented by two bands of armed volunteers. The first were 75 men with some military experience, such as Nigel Oliphant of the Chinese imperial Bank who had served with the Scots Greys, Captain Poole of the East Yorkshire Regiment and Captain Labrousse of the Infanterie de Marine. The second group were more amateurish, titled the carving knife brigade because of their variety of weapons going from elephant rifles to fusil de chasse. Professionals and amateurs alike were all short of ammunition and each nationality used differing weapons with differing types of ammunition making it a nightmare logistically. The legation had only one piece of real artillery, the Italian one pounder and that too held little ammunition.  Their lines of defense had shrunk alarmingly after just the second day, they only had 7 legations to defend. The outliers such as the Belgian and Dutch legations had been abandoned at the beginning, the Austrians shortly after and the Italians lost theirs during the Von Thomann confusion. The area they defended was now 700 yards east to west from the Russian and American legations and 750 yards north to south from the Fu Palace and British legation to the north and the Tartar Wall in the south. Sandwiched between these were the Japanese, Spanish and German legations alongside some other buildings. All the legations, excluding the British one, were on Legation street. The Germans and Americans were on the south side of the street overshadowed by the massive Tartar wall. MacDonald knew the Tartar wall had to be held at all cost, if it was taken anyone from its top could lob incendiaries down, spelling doom. The British legation grounds quickly became the place everyone congregated searching for further information, everyone was starved to know what was going on outside. Meanwhile the Chinese Christians were doing their part helping with labor an invaluable aspect to the defenders plight. There was also the issue of having to watch over them, lest the enemy infiltrate using them as cover. The foreigners and Chinese likewise were introduced to the hazard of fire which constantly was an issue. Boxers would toss torches and firecrackers at all hours trying to burn the legations out. It was all to easy for the Boxers to dip rags in kerosene attach it to the end of a long bamboo pole and lit it ablaze. On the 22nd, many buildings in the western sector were lit of fire and it took the defenders a long time to put it out. The first casualty for the British was to be Private Scadding who was shot dead as he stood watch while the fire committee went to work putting out fires. The very next day was the same, the Chinese tried to burn them out again, this time they aimed for the Hanlin Academy just due north of the British legation. Thousands of silk covered books were there, it was a tremendous tragedy to try and burn the place.  On the morning of the 23rd, the enemy was spotted running through the four acre compound tossing torches soaked in petrol around. The foreigners were stunned the Chinese would burn such a place, but burn it they did. The fire teams tried to put the flames out, but the Chinese were firing down upon anyone who would go near the academy. Eventually MacDonald sent some royal marines to go through a hole in the wall getting into the academy where firefighting efforts were organized. Scholars among the foreign community were in despair knowing the academic treasures being burnt. Morrison had this to say  “the combustible books, the most valuable in the Empire, were thrown in a great heap into the pond round the summer house . . . a heap of debris, timber in ashes, sprinkled with torn leaves, marked the site of the great library of the Middle Kingdom . . . what can we think of a nation that sacrifices its most sacred edifice, the pride and glory of its country and learned men for hundreds of years, in order to be revenged upon foreigners? It was a glorious blaze. The desecration was appalling.” By the night time the fire was still burning as soot covered fire fighters struggled.  Other fires were seen that day, the Russo Chinese bank containing 80,000 dollars of cash was burned down, many officials houses alongside it.

Time was of the essence if the allies were to reach the foreign legations in Beijing to save their countrymen.
