Recommend "The Secret Story of Martial Arts of the Republic of China" and "Youth Living on the Assembly Line" When Emperor Xianfeng learned that Yidao was preparing to open the city, he did think that opening the door was a thief, and the harm was beyond words, so he immediately sent a decree to ask, motivate people, and stick to waiting for reinforcements. However, by the time this belated edict reached Beijing, the Anglo-French army had already entered the city, and Andingmen was covered with British and French artillery.

The black muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the thick walls and tall towers of the imperial city. Yixun was very angry at the behavior of opening the door to the righteous road with Xianfeng's edict and reprimanding them: "Under the false intimidation of the people, I know that I am a gain or a loss for my own reasons, and I don't think about the overall situation of the country." But the matter has come to this point, and peace can only be negotiated unconditionally.

So he said to Emperor Xianfeng quite sadly: "At this time, the family and country have been broken, if there is another accident to threaten, how can the ministers deal with themselves?" The younger brother is the monarch and the minister, and the love is the flesh and blood, and if he can settle the overall situation with a death, what can he care about.

However, there is no clue about the discussion, and the blood has been all over the capital, seeing the destruction of the garden, the difficulty of repairing, the bitter cold of the thought of the line, and the unsuccessful welcome, so I hesitated in the middle of the night, crying and dipping my ......"

More than 20 people, including Yidao and Seng Greenqin, also asked Emperor Xianfeng to urge Yixun to enter the city and quickly settle a peace agreement. Xianfeng had no choice but to think that if the stalemate with the British and French invaders continued, he would not even be able to protect the Forbidden City, so he ordered Yixin to enter the city quickly, negotiate with the Yiren to renew the treaty, draw a seal and exchange the eight-year Tianjin Treaty, order him to withdraw from the capital, and then agree on the regulations of the station.

On the third day of the ninth month of the tenth year of Xianfeng (October 17), Yixun returned to Tianning Temple outside Guangning Gate, and the next day he sent a note to the British and French ministers, expressing his agreement to the exchange of the contract in the capital and requesting the appointment of the exchange date. The British and French envoys respectively issued ultimatums to the Qing government, and in a note from the British envoy Ergin, he claimed 300,000 taels of "pensions," which were due to be paid by 22 October.

On the 23rd the old covenant was exchanged and the new covenant was signed. In the note, in addition to asking for a pension of 200,000 taels, the French envoy Gro also demanded that the Qing government return the confiscated property of the French Catholic Church, and at the same time stipulated that the above request should be limited to 23 days to reply.

At the end of the note, both countries unanimously threatened: "If the above conditions are not met one by one, the palace will be immediately captured, and the grain will be cut off, and customs duties will be intercepted until the whole country is attacked." "On October 22, after receiving Yixun's copy, the British and French ministers made unreasonable demands.

Britain also proposed to cede the Kowloon Division and allow Chinese workers to go abroad; In addition to the requirement that Chinese workers be allowed to go abroad, France also added a para-military and civilian practice of Catholicism. In the face of the unreasonable demands of Britain and France, Yixun was unable to refute it with reason, and since the British and French troops entered the city, the Qing army had no power to resist, which caused the arrogance of the barcelonature, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no further trouble, so they were all allowed.

On the 22nd, Yixun stayed at Fahua Temple in the city. At 24 p.m., the hall of the Ministry of Rites was brilliantly lit and beautifully furnished, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the British Minister Pasha Li led 100 soldiers to the outside of the hall of the Ministry of Rites by horse-drawn carriage, and Heng Qi took Prince Gong to see him and go to the hat as a courtesy.

At four o'clock, Erjin took 16 to carry the golden top green around the shoulder, belatedly came, the drum music was leading, about 1,000 people with horse infantry, all holding instruments, from the east four archway to the Ministry of Rites, there was an endless stream. Prince Gong walked forward to greet him, but the British ambassador pretended not to see it, and walked straight to the signing hall without even looking back.

Then he did not say a word to the prince, but sat down on the seat prepared for him. Ergin's arrogance was unreasonable, and Yan zhòng stabbed Yixun's self-esteem, but he could only hold back his anger.

After the two sides signed the agreement, Ergin shouted, and then all the foreigners stood up, and Yixun, who was puzzled, and all the other Chinese officials were startled and hurriedly stood up. At this time, a British photographer walked out of the hall and took a picture of this scene with a "click".

The Qing officials, who didn't know what the camera was, were all stunned. Only Yi Xun had a gloomy face, and his eyes radiated the light of hatred. This great humiliation caused a great stab in the young prince's heart, left a deep imprint on his heart, and also had an important impact on his later thoughts.

Since then, we have vigorously advocated the Western-style self-improvement movement, all of which have been deeply affected by this matter!

The two sides signed the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing and the Sino-French Treaty of Beijing.

The main contents of the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing are: first, the Treaty of Tianjin continues to be in force; second, to open Tianjin as a commercial port; Third, China has "apologized" for the "Dagu incident";

Fourth, the amount of compensation was changed to 8 million taels (4 million taels stipulated in the Treaty of Tianjin); fifth, the British Minister in Beijing; Sixth, China ceded the southern part of the Kowloon Si Peninsula to Britain.

The Sino-French Treaty of Beijing consisted of 10 articles, the content of which was roughly the same as that of the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing, with the addition of an item that "China shall return Catholic property and allow French Catholic priests to purchase land and build houses in the provinces".

The signing of the "Beijing Treaty" has caused China to lose more sovereignty and further deepened China's semi-colonial status, which has undoubtedly made the already profound suffering of the Chinese people, who have suffered from foreign insults, even worse.

At that time, over the city of Beijing, the thick black smoke from the burning of the Old Summer Palace by British and French robbers was still unstopping......
