拳亂啟釁，曾植與盛宣懷等密商保護長江之策，力疾走江、鄂，決大計於劉坤一、張之洞，而以李鴻章主其成，所謂「畫保東南約」也。 When the Boxer troubles began, Cengzhi joined Sheng Xuanhuai and others in secretly planning to protect the Yangzi; despite illness he hurried to Jiangsu and Hubei, settled the great decision with Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong, and had Li Hongzhang bring it to completion—the so-called "Southeast Mutual Protection Pact."
