"When attacking Tianjin in the early stage, Emperor Xianfeng wanted to escape, but he was stopped by the people."

"Emperor Xianfeng saw that the barrier of Tianjin was about to be lost, and he was even more panicked in his heart, and convened the ministers to discuss relevant matters."

"Emperor Xianfeng is a generation of emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and in front of the ministers, he is naturally embarrassed to say that he wants peace, but he does not dare to go to the British and French forces."

So some ministers suggested that the emperor might as well go to the "northern tour" at this time, Emperor Xianfeng felt that this method was good, and when he was about to travel, he found that the people in Beijing could not sit still, thinking that the Emperor Xianfeng wanted to escape before the army came. ”

"As soon as Emperor Xianfeng heard this kind of news, the ministers all looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything."

"Emperor Xianfeng was so angry that he hurriedly ordered someone to announce another holy decree, which was to the effect that I would retreat at the moment when the enemy was present, I did go to the north to inspect the people's feelings, and even if I wanted to escape, I would flee in a bright and bright way."

"In this way, the hearts of the people of Beijing were gradually appeased, and Emperor Xianfeng's plan for his northern tour was also ruined, so he had to give up."

"This time the Bali Bridge is not good, this is eight miles away from BJ, and the next day, Xianfeng went to Chengde."

"Originally, Emperor Xianfeng's strategy at the beginning was to force peace with war, and fought several battles one after another, and then when Tongzhou negotiated peace, he secretly ordered that if the negotiations broke down, he would take Pa Xiali and others as hostages."

"As a result, Monk Grinchen captured twenty-six English, led by Pashali, and thirteen French, a total of thirty-nine."

"In order to invite merit, Shengbao killed two people on the spot, and the others were brought back to BJ and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department."

"One of the Times reporters who followed the report was on death row, then one after another, and in the end nineteen of the thirty-nine survived and twenty died."

"This Emperor Xianfeng really wanted to fight, but he didn't fight, although he didn't like it because he ran away, even if he didn't run, he was not a god, although the pro-conquest can boost morale, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty pro-conquest you have also seen, so it's not a matter of pro-conquest or not, in the final analysis, it's a matter of strength."

"In addition, the society at that time was a family world, and the common people did not have any sense of the country, as for the loyalty of the monarch, the common people did not have any consciousness, and loyalty to the monarch was the business of the minister, so you can see that the war at that time, although there were also spontaneous resistance to the British army like Sanyuanli, but it was very rare."

"To put it bluntly, expecting Xianfeng to fight to the death, and then hoping for a chance of winning, is actually just a fantasy."

"The main reason is that the strength was not good at that time, and Xianfeng's ability was not good."

"From the beginning of the Taiping Army, because there were too many enemies at that time, the main force was all attacking the Taiping Army, resulting in no one to treat these people from foreign countries, and at that time a "Tianjin Treaty" was signed to lose power and humiliate the country."

The treaty stipulates that 10 cities, including Niuzhuang, Dengzhou, Tainan, Tamsui, Qiongzhou, Hankou, Jiujiang, Nanjing, and Zhenjiang, will be opened as treaty ports. It has set a record for the largest number of treaty ports opened in recent history. ”

"This was only the beginning, as the treaty provided favourable conditions for further pressure on the Qing court by the British through their embassy in China, and from then on, the aggressive forces of capitalism gradually spread to the Yangtze River valley and the northeast region."

"There are a large number of unsalable goods produced by the capitalist countries, which are further dumped into China through these zones, and a great deal of wealth has been seized of the people of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The following treaties are one after another, all of them are humiliating and humiliating, Emperor Xianfeng reigned for 11 years, and signed at least 9 unequal treaties, so that the entire Qing Dynasty was in dire oppression."

"Emperor Xianfeng, known in history as the "four no" monarchs, hesitated when dealing with state decisions, indulged in wine every day, completely laissez-faire the government, and lived a debauched life. ”

And the name of the "four nos" refers to his lack of vision, courage, talent, and inaction, which are the most important qualities of a ruler. ”

"Emperor Xianfeng died in the summer resort of Chengde, only thirty years old, he held the scepter of the Qing Empire, he spent his short life in chaos and internal and external troubles, and his son Zaichun succeeded to the throne at the age of six, called Tongzhi."

With the death of Xianfeng, his queen naturally became the queen mother, and was given the title of "Ci'an", known as the empress dowager of the East. ”

The biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi, although she was only Xianfeng's concubine, rose to the queen mother because of her son's status, won the name of "Cixi", and was respected by the world as the queen mother of the west. ”

"This Empress Dowager Cixi really makes people hate her teeth, and she has to say something about it."

Wei Zifu: This Cixi is still the woman of Emperor Xianfeng, this woman is really hateful, what she does is really notorious, as a member of the royal family, how dare you sell the country.

Xiaozhuang: It turned out that the Empress Dowager Cixi appeared at this time, and Xianfeng hurriedly killed this woman for me.

Qin Shi Huang: Not all women have the capital to be emperors, and at least you know how to govern the country, this Cixi directly divided half of her country and gave it to other races, and she couldn't understand her hatred with a thousand cuts.

Liu Xiu: Haha! After Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, the ambitions of the women behind him have become bigger, they have no ability, and they all want to be kings!

"This Cixi hates it, but let's get to know this Tongzhi Emperor first." Zhang Yanxi hurriedly interrupted, and continued to taunt, he was about to be besieged by women.

"Emperor Tongzhi is the tenth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the youngest emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty."

"He was only six years old when he succeeded to the throne from his father, Emperor Xianfeng, but in reality, his life and decision-making have always been under the close control of his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, and his uncle, Prince Gong, Yixun, and he has never really had the opportunity to take power."

"Emperor Tongzhi has rightfully inherited the throne, and there is no such thing as seizing the throne."

"Xianfeng has a soft spot for Cixi, and Cixi gave birth to a son for him."

"Xianfeng had only three children in his life, including a princess who died young, a short-lived emperor, and a prince who died at birth."

"Among them, his eldest daughter, Princess Rong'an, died young after only living to be twenty-two years old, and his son Jae-chun, although he inherited the throne, also died at the age of nineteen, and his second son died on the day he was born."

"In other words, the only son of Emperor Xianfeng who survived to adulthood was his heir, Zaichun."

Fusu: Died at the age of 19?

"Yes, Emperor Tongzhi began to rule in person shortly after coming of age at the age of seventeen, but his reign was extremely short, only a little more than a year later, when he died on January 12, 1875, when he was only nineteen years old."
