Song Haiping said that if Lao Tzu came to this trip, if he didn't reverse the outcome of these wars, it would be better to buy a piece of tofu and die of it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As in history, the greedy French sent Father Marais to sneak into Guangxi to die, and then he died. Britain sheltered the Yarrow occupied by pirates, and while Britain and France gave the Qing Dynasty an ultimatum, they gathered warships and soldiers to prepare for the invasion of China.

The British and French invaders did not know where they learned that the capital had built a Qing royal fleet composed of ironclad ships, and the ultimatum demanded that the Qing Dynasty give up coastal defense, and that the ships of the Qing royal fleet composed of ironclad ships should be managed by the British and French (including the ironclad ships of the inland river fleets in various places under the Qing governor's governor), and the batteries of Jinwei should also be dismantled to facilitate the invaders to land and fight.

The ultimatum was brought to the capital by Pashali, and by this time the Anglo-French forces had already fought several battles with the troops of Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, but the progress of the British and French invaders was not satisfactory.

After the Eight Banners Green Battalion in Guangdong served the Oriental Vigorous Scattering given by the Holy Lord, their spirits were better, the training time was longer, and the newly bought Oriental guns and Oriental artillery had a longer range, fast reloading, and no worse accuracy. The Cannai River Ironclad Fleet was far from being impressed by the British and French sailing warships and paddle wheels in the Far East, and as soon as the Inland River Ironclad Fleet came forward, the fast guns on it hit the British and French warships with sawdust flying and suffering heavy casualties.

However, the aggressor was in an offensive position, and if he could not fight, he would dodge, and even if the two sides fought a battle, there were quite a few casualties on each other, and there was almost no advantage against the fleet of the British and French forces in the shooting.

In October 1856, the temporarily retreating Anglo-French forces had no choice but to ask for help from China, asking China to send the latest cutting-edge ironclad ships to complete the cause of aggression against the Qing Dynasty.

Since he repelled the British and French invaders, Ye Mingchen naturally wanted to report a great victory in Guangdong, and after coming and going, the imperial court also knew that the British and French alliance forces were strong and middle-class, and that was nothing more than that. But he rudely sent someone to the capital to issue an ultimatum, and this ultimatum was simply to let Xianfeng be arrested.

Emperor Xianfeng's Ninety-Five Emperor had never suffered this anger, and Na Pa Xia Li and others refused to kneel and kowtow, and their attitude was so arrogant, which affected Xianfeng's mood and was very bad, and the consequences were extremely serious - so Xianfeng sent an edict to Monk Gelinqin to kill all Pa Xia Li and others.

Although the two countries do not kill the envoys, they are talking about the envoys, not the uncles. Of course, there are two countries that do not fight to make it say, but there is also a saying that the king wants his ministers to die, and the Pasha Li is not even Xianfeng's courtiers, so Xianfeng let him die, and Pasha Li deserves to die.

Because some time ago, in order to test the bottom line of the foreigners, the heart of the Qing Dynasty was not dead, and some conditions were lowered in the treaty negotiations, and the United States at this time did not have the strength to invade China. The Qing court also thought that this was good news, and the success of the treaty exchange did not mean that the Four-Nation Alliance was one less arm.

The British commander-in-chief Ergin and the French commander-in-chief Gro laughed when they saw the heads of Pashali and others: "There is no reason not to send reinforcements in the country this time." ”

As for the death of two consuls, a couple of journalists, and a dozen bodyguards - even if there are no dead people in Europe for any year. In Britain and France, whether it is tuberculosis or bayberry sores, I don't know how many people die every year. How many good people can come to the Far East and the New World to make a living now? So it's still the same sentence, death is death.

However, the diplomatic personnel were killed, and the increase in domestic troops was certain. Now that the Anglo-French forces had just defeated Russia in the Crimean War, it was the time when the world was invincible and powerful. If someone cuts face, it is absolutely unbearable, the king can bear it, the parliament can't bear it, the parliament can bear it, and the people can't bear it.

Now Europe has made a lot of money after hundreds of years of maritime colonization system, and foreign wars for European people are to grab money, grab the market, make reparations, and cut colonies to build concessions. You have to fight when you have everything, and you have to fight even more if you have something. Of course, almost all European royal families are relatives, and although they often fight to the death, they often leave a line in the end.

But foreign wars are not so easy to say, Francisco. Pizarro is such a ruthless, cruel and untrustworthy guy who has been hailed as a pioneer hero in Europe for hundreds of years.

This time, after being frustrated in the attack on the forts outside Guangzhou, Ergin and Ge Luo, as commanders-in-chief, had a heavy burden on their shoulders. After the fort battle, the two men later discussed that in fact, it was to capture Guangzhou, and the Qing court might not admit defeat. It's better to wait for the reinforcements to arrive and go directly to the north, directly into the capital, if you can catch the Manchu emperor Xianfeng and destroy the Qing Dynasty, then Ergin and Gro can fight with the Spaniard Francisco. Pizarro is famous.

In the past three years, Sijiu City has not changed particularly much as before, but the long-haired people in the south have declined, and they have been beaten by the southern landlords who have collectively obeyed the Dongyang vigorously scattered. Although there are also some talents in the Taiping Army, they are all goods that remember to eat and not remember, and they may be able to win a few battles, but it is extremely difficult to turn the tables around.

The most important thing is that since the king of heaven entered the palace of the king of heaven in Nanjing, he began to work hard to talk to the heavenly father and brother every day, and the eastern king Yang Xiuqing was in charge of the power and falsely passed on the holy decree of the heavenly father, and was beheaded in September last year (1856), and the family deployment was also slaughtered cleanly. The Tianjing incident is also a landmark event in the transformation of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom from prosperity to decline.

After all, the previous things were all done by Yang Xiuqing in the fake teaching, no matter what, Yang Xiuqing still did things. It is not the same thing as the kind of divine stick that invites the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother to come up every day. After Yang Xiuqing's death, Nanjing was in turmoil, and finally Wei Changhui became a scapegoat - he was ordered by Hong Xiuquan to be deployed by his family to kill him cleanly.

Weng Xin's court officials seem to have the ability to turn decay into magic, and after the foreigner Pasha Lillai Beijing gave an ultimatum and was beheaded, he really raised a silver salary of 10 million taels of silver. You must know that now the grain and salary in the south are not enough, and the imperial court cannot receive much silver taels in the north -- the local government also has to spend money, and the large number of soldiers, officials, and disasters in the northern region has always been a financial hole for the imperial court.

After the New Year, the morale of the court was greatly boosted, and they waited to die with the foreigners. Left and right, it has been three years since the foreigners began to change contracts and find faults. The 200,000 children of the Eight Banners in Beijing have also been training for three years, and they are really used for a thousand days to raise soldiers.

May 1857. There were 215 British and French warships, including four steam-powered ironclads (at this time, European ironclads were still wooden hulls covered with ironclad several inches thick, but they were already ironclad ships). More than 100 wooden sail battleships with more than 72 guns almost brought these obsolete goods to the Far East.

There were more than 13,000 officers and men in the navy, carrying 28,000 marines -- including servants transferred from the colonies, 3,800 men from Baotou in India were attached to the British army, and 3,500 men from the African barefoot nigger army were attached to the French army.
