More than ten years after the signing of treaty of nanking, foreigners want to modify the contract and add terms such as "ambassador to Beijing, military parade in mainland China, Yangtze River trade". Among them, the minister was stationed in Beijing, and the Qing court would never agree. Because foreigners dare not kowtow when they see the emperor! This is disobedience! Therefore, the Qing court resolutely disagreed with the "Minister in Beijing". Foreigners knew that the Qing court only recognized artillery, so they had already prepared the army, so the foreigners went to war.
When the British and French allied forces invaded Tianjin, Xianfeng sent people to negotiate with foreigners. As a result, I still can't talk about those projects properly. However, the arrogance of the Qing court directly detained 39 foreign negotiating delegations. Parkes and his secretary were detained in the prison of the Qing court punishments; The other 37 people are in Yuanmingyuan. It is a bad thing to lock these 37 people in Yuanmingyuan.
As soon as the foreign devils heard that the negotiators were detained, they immediately went to Beijing. At Baliqiao in Tongzhou, more than 39,000 Qing troops fought against more than 20,000 British and French troops. A massacre, the Qing army was wiped out, and foreigners were killed or injured by 5 1 person.
When foreigners rescued 37 people trapped in Yuanmingyuan together, they were dazzled by the babies in the park. Foreigners forget what they are doing here. What hostage companion? Let's go hold the baby first. British and French allied forces burned and looted bronze ritual vessels in the pre-Qin period, down to famous paintings and calligraphy of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures, totaling 6,543,800+0.5 million pieces, which were taken away by foreigners.
From 1860,101October 6 to 17, I used 1 1 day, and I haven't finished yet! Foreigners are worried. Why are there so many treasures? I really can't take them away. Foreigners think that even if they can't take it away, they can't leave it to China people! Set a fire and destroy the evidence on the way. Animals are animals! So, foreigners set fire to Yuanmingyuan! Burn the rest of the treasures that you can't take away!
At the same time, there are more than 300 eunuchs, maids and craftsmen. The Anyou Palace hiding in Yuanmingyuan was also burned alive! Burning Yuanmingyuan and blood debts. The fire burned for three days and nights and fireworks filled the whole city of Beijing. This "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", which lasted for more than 150 years, was burned by British and French invaders.
