Those Boxer fellas are massing in Beijing and Tianjin, so someone's gotta rein them in. Therefore, Prince Zhuang Zaixun and Grand Councilor Gangyi were appointed to take charge, with Left Wing General Yingnian, Right Wing General Yingqi, and Acting Right Wing General Zailan assisting. In addition, Captain Wen Rui was sent over as a deputy. So, you Boxer brothers, stick together, serve the Emperor, and fight for the cause! That's the order! The decree states that the court is taking direct control of the Boxers to stop letting them run amok. Prince Zhuang Zaixun, Gangyi, and other court officials will oversee the Boxers, while generals like Yingnian, Yingqi, and Zailan will assist in specific matters, with Captain Wen Rui supporting command and operations. The decree also emphasizes the critical importance of unity and perseverance—unite the Boxers and fight to the end for the court. And let's be clear, failure is not an option.
