"On the way, the British army attacked Zhapu, and 1,700 soldiers of the Manchurian Eight Banners defended Zhapu in this battle, leaving the British dead and wounded more than 60 and 16 captured, and the performance of the Manchurian Eight Banners left a deep impression on the British army."

"After the Battle of Zhapu, the Qing Dynasty's minister Qiying sent Iribu to propose an armistice, but the British army refused."

"The British army abandoned Zhapu and reached Wusongkou."

"This place was garrisoned by Chen Huacheng, the governor of Jiangnan, and he governed the army strictly, making the defense of Wusongkou strong."

"On the eighth day of the first month of May, the British army launched an attack on Wusongkou, Chen Huacheng fought back bravely, and after two hours of hard fighting, several British ships were damaged, and more than 20 British soldiers were killed and wounded."

"However, Niu Jian, the governor of Liangjiang, fled in battle, causing the East Fort to be captured."

"Chen Huacheng held on to the West Fort to counterattack, which lasted 5 hours, and finally died."

"After the Battle of Wusongkou, Shanghai fell."

"In June 1842, more than 60 British warships and more than 10,000 troops began to attack Zhenjiang."

"Hailing, the deputy commander of Jingkou, led the 1500 Eight Banners Army to hold on, and should bravely counterattack and inflict heavy losses on the British army."

"After the British army entered the city, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat until the whole army was annihilated."

"The Qing army suffered 648 casualties and missing in this battle, and the British army suffered 165 casualties, including 4 officers killed and 15 officers wounded."

"Hai Ling saw that the city was broken, and hanged himself."

"On June 26, the British army Chen Bing Jiangning. At this time, the Qing Dynasty's peacemakers took the lead, and Emperor Daoguang had to compromise. ”

"In July, Emperor Daoguang sent his minister Qiying to Jiangning, negotiated with the British, and finally signed the Treaty of Nanjing, which officially ended the First Opium War and began the humiliating history of the modern era of the Flower Planting Country."

"There are a lot of contents in this "Nanjing Treaty", and I will let you take a look at it in detail." Zhang Yanxi turned on the computer and let everyone see how unequal this matter is.

Meng Yi: What kind of stuff is this, it is land cession and compensation, and these conditions for losing rights, you can also sign this in the Qing Dynasty!

Song Huizong: How is this more outrageous than our Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin: Why are you more proud than others?

Guo Shengtong: This Daoguang Emperor still has some reason with her.

Yang Yong: Even if this Daoguang Emperor is not smart, the weapons on both sides cannot be compared, and he can't beat others.

Li Shimin: Growing the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige, how can it have nothing to do with Emperor Daoguang, although the failure has a powerful reason for his own weapons and no one's family, but it is by no means the fundamental reason.

Judging from the process of the war, there was no shortage of heroic and warlike troops in the Qing Dynasty, and there were also officers who fought fiercely to the end, but many officials in the Qing Dynasty were weak and incompetent, and even fled from the battle, and they themselves could not lead the victory of the war.

The reason for the Qing Dynasty's defeat was itself the result of its own corruption.

Qin Shi Huang: Well said! It mainly lies in the internal reasons of this Daoguang Emperor and the imperial court.

Everyone should be able to hear that this Daoguang Emperor's position is not firm enough at all, he has lost confidence after several defeats, and he has no belief in fighting to the end.

I think the need for people should be able to see a problem, the more places the British occupy, the more dispersed the troops, the more difficult it is to supply, and it will eventually fail, but this Emperor Guang is impatient, and he can't see such a big problem, and finally chooses to negotiate, making the early efforts in vain.

Di Renjie: The level and ambition of Emperor Daoguang are actually nothing more than that, although he is not a faint monarch, it is difficult to be included in the ranks of the Ming monarch and holy lord.

"More importantly, this compromise by Emperor Daoguang opened up the Qing Dynasty's tradition of seeking peace with the West."

"Just like Da Song, it should be even more powerful than Da Song."

"A compromise has dealt a serious blow to the self-confidence of the Chinese nation, causing countless compromises and humiliating treaties to follow, and the Chinese nation has fallen into a serious crisis."

"Most people understand the extent of corruption within the Qing Dynasty, which is really unimaginable."

"For example, in the army, many Qing soldiers rushed to the front line and fled halfway, not to mention the main generals, who were impassioned before the war and slipped away with oil on the soles of their feet after the war."

"Until the summer of 1842, seeing that the British navy broke through Nanjing, Emperor Daoguang had no choice but to choose peace."

Thus, there was the Treaty of Nanjing, which was characterized by the "Five Ports of Commerce" and the "Cession of Hong Kong". ”

"Although the defeat of the Opium War of the Qing Dynasty was not the fault of Emperor Daoguang alone, Emperor Daoguang's vacillating attitude has an unshirkable responsibility."

"If we fully support the national hero Lin Zexu, perhaps the Opium War will be another outcome."

"Because Lin Zexu has brought a huge deterrent to foreigners from the beginning, the foreigners will be at a disadvantage, and Britain will carefully consider whether to meet the Qing Dynasty by force."

"As a result, Emperor Daoguang's weakness fueled the arrogance of the British, and their appetite grew."

"After Qishan's pre-war military comparison intelligence, the Qing Dynasty has lost the psychological advantage of war."

"If the emperor's ability is not good, it doesn't matter, if the high-ranking officials of the court are outstanding, it is estimated that there is still room for recovery in the situation."

"In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor didn't care about anything and was very mediocre, the country still ran well because there was a group of super bullish cabinet chiefs."

"Yang Tinghe, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, etc., are all famous politicians, and one person can handle state affairs."

It is a pity that during the Daoguang period, there was no "famous minister" in the Qing Dynasty, and the chief military minister was either a wine bag or a straw bag, and he had no ability at all. ”

Cao Zhenyong, an important minister, pursued the principle of "kowtowing more and talking less", and had no spirit of responsibility. ”

Mu Zhang'a, known as "reigned for 20 years, also loves talents, and is not greedy, but he is clever and deceitful." ”

Not to mention the local officials, "the language is auspicious, and the disaster does not dare to be reported", and the famine is reported every year. ”

"Daoguang's own ability is limited, and the officials under him have no sense of responsibility and responsibility, if the Qing Dynasty does not perish, it will be unreasonable."

"It can only be said that Emperor Guang was forced to agree to sign the Sino-British "Treaty of Nanjing", ceding land, compensating huge sums of money, opening ports, and sweeping away the majesty of the Qing Empire."

The status of the "Celestial Empire" has been impacted, which can be described as "a change unseen in a thousand years". ”

"Since then, our country has entered a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society and has become the object of domination by foreign powers."

All in all, in addition to being relatively lucky to become the emperor, Daoguang's life can be described as "very unfortunate". ”

"What we inherited was a mess where poverty, corruption, conservatism, ignorance, and superstition were rife throughout the country."
