Emperor Xianfeng sighed when he heard this, and issued an edict: Discuss peace matters with Yi, let the imperial brother handle the camera, the matter is urgent, and there is no room for it, and I am not remote; The general period and the situation have been completed quickly, the peace agreement has been changed, and the national letter has been handed over, so I can return to Luan as soon as possible and calm people's hearts.

Emperor Xianfeng sent an edict and replied to Zeng Guofan: Now that the soldiers of the Beijing division are gathered bravely, the discussion is gradually ready. Southern Anhui was in a tight situation, and Bao Chao's army came with Beiyong. It is important to order the town and Zhang Yunlan to aid Ning County and sweep away the thief atmosphere.

In late October 1860, Yixin negotiated with Erjin and others again and again, and exchanged the "Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin" and signed the "Sino-British Treaty of Beijing" in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing.

The treaty said: The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Great Monarch of Great Britain agreed to reconcile and ensure that their heirs would not lose peace, so the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty sent Prince Yixin of Heshuo Gong and the Earl of Ergin of the Great British Monarch to the same meeting, and each of them would pay tribute to the plenipotentiary ministers of the Imperial Mission, and the edicts and edicts of each country should be read by each other, and they were all in order. The agreed renewal treaties are listed on the left:

Paragraph 1, the original treaty made in Tianjin in May of the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858 AD) was originally set up for the peace between the two countries, and then in May of the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859 AD), the British minister entered Beijing to exchange the treaty, and arrived at the Dagukou Fort, where the guard blocked the road, so that there was a gap, and the Qing Emperor was very sorry for this loss.

Paragraph 2 1, Concerning the September of the eighth year of Xianfeng, Gui Liang and Hua Shana, the ministers of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Erjin, the Minister of the Great British Mission, hereby declare as a rejection of the section on where the heirs of the Great British Ministers in China should reside. In the future, whether the Great British Envoy should stay in Beijing for a long time, or whether he should come and go at any time, shall still follow the decree of the Governor of his country in accordance with the express text of the third paragraph of the original covenant.

Paragraph 3 1, Xianfeng eight years of the original contract attached to the end of the special article as waste paper, contained in the compensation, the Qing Emperor allowed to exchange eight million taels.

Paragraph 4 (1) On the date of the renewal of the treaty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty allowed Haikou, the county town of Tianjin, to be the port of commerce, and all British and civilians who came here to live and trade were to be drawn in accordance with the proportions of the regulations of each port opened by the approved articles.

Paragraph 5 (1) After the exchange of contracts in the eighth year of Xianfeng, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty allowed to send an edict to the governors and officials of all provinces on the same day, so that all those who were willing to export to the country, or to undertake work in various parts of the United Kingdom, or in other places abroad, were allowed to enter into a contract with the British people, whether they were single or willing to bring their families together to the ports of commerce and disembarkation of British ships, without any prohibition. It is also advisable for the provincial officials to check with the ministers of the Great Britain at the right time, and to draw up a constitution in order to preserve the intention of the Chinese workers in the preceding paragraph.

Paragraph 6 1: On February 28 of that year, Lao Chongguang, the Governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty, handed over the first district of the Kowloon Division in eastern Guangdong to the British Minister in Guangdong, Pasha Lidai, for the approval of the permanent lease of the state. Within the boundaries of the port.

Paragraph 7 1, Xianfeng eight years of the original contract, except for the current renewal or change, the rest of the sections, after the exchange, all day by day, there is no discrepancy. The renewal of the treaty shall be carried out immediately from the date of the pledge, and the two countries shall not need to ratify it separately, but shall be deemed to be the same as the original treaty and shall abide by it in one form.

Paragraph 8, 1, in the eighth year of Xianfeng, on the day of the exchange of the original covenant in Beijing, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty allowed to send an edict to the governors of all provinces outside Beijing on the same day, and sent copies of the original covenant and the renewal of the covenant to the reader, and ordered the publication to announce the passage, and the Xian envoy was informed.

Paragraph 9 (1) Once the Treaty of Renewal has been stamped and sealed, and the peace treaty of the eighth year of Xianfeng has also been exchanged, it is necessary to renew the Treaty of Paragraph 8 which contains the decree of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it is announced that all British troops stationed in Zhoushan shall immediately leave the country, and the army outside Beijing shall immediately depart for Jincheng, and shall go to Dagukou Fort, Dengzhou, Beihai, Guangdong City, etc., and shall return to China only after the total amount of compensation of 8 million taels contained in Paragraph 3 of the renewal shall be paid, or shall leave early, and the decree of the Commander-in-Chief of Great Britain shall be implemented.

The above articles have been added to each article, and now the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and the British are stamped and painted at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites in Kyoto to show their trust.

September 11 of the 10th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty

October 24, 1860

After the treaty was signed, Yixin angrily reprimanded Gong Cheng: "You are favored by the country, why do you act for the tiger?" ”

Gong Cheng said: "My father is not allowed to enter Hanlin, I am poor and dependent on foreign countries, and the court is in my Gong family, how can I have it?" I am a good citizen, the road to progress was blocked by you, and I was reverted to being exploited by corrupt officials, with no food and clothing, so I had to beg for food, and now you scold me for being a traitor, but I see you as a thief. ”

Gui Liang hurriedly said: "Gong Zizhen has been upright all his life, and has served as the secretary of the cabinet, the director of the Zongren Mansion, and the director of the Ministry of Rites. Although you yourself are shallow, you don't have to send food to foreign countries. ”

The next day, Prince Gong Yixin exchanged the Sino-French Treaty of Tianjin with the French envoy Gro and signed the Sino-French Treaty of Beijing.

Emperor Xianfeng heard that the contract had been signed, and said: Now the British and French have exchanged peace treaties this month, and the discussion is gradually ready. When the minister went north, it was difficult for the rebels to take advantage of the false thoughts, and disturbed the perfect area, Jiangxi and Hubei were all worried. Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi both came to Beijing with no means. As for Bao Chao's first army, he had already informed Zeng Guofan yesterday and ordered him to come to Ningjun's aid quickly, and he did not come.

Su Shundao: My emperor Shengming, the disaster has been extinguished today, and the trouble in Guangdong will not be long in coming!

Emperor Xianfeng said: Guangdong has been suffering for more than ten years, and it is invincible; Only the army of Hu Chuxiang can stifle its flames; If you are not in a hurry, I will not move at all.

At the end of the month, the Russian envoy Ignatiev paid a visit to Yixin and said: The British and French envoys signed the contract happily, but because the army of the country had arrived close to the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, they were looking at it; I, the Russian Empire, are not as despicable and shameless as England and France, and ask your country for eight million taels of military expenses; Our Tsar's decree is that only if your country agrees to the provisions of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihun and the undetermined boundary of the western frontier, then it should follow the mountains and rivers and the permanent residence of your country in Karen, and in the year 1,728, that is, from the end of the boundary monument erected in the sixth year of Yongzheng, to the west to the Lake of Zaisangnaoer, and from then on to the southwest to the Temutunauer of the Tianshan Mountains, and to the south to the border of Kokand. This is a draft treaty, which your country must accept unconditionally, and not a word for word.

Yixin said: "This draft, compared to the British and French covenant, is a thousand shots!" I need to ask my emperor to make a decision. ”

Ignatiev said: "Our country's troops and this draft must be kept secret; If Britain and France find out, it will not be difficult for the war to rise repeatedly, and your country will inevitably fall back into dire straits. In addition, my Tsar's decree is that on the day the agreement is signed, the contemptible country can send troops to help your country and eliminate the Cantonese bandits. ”

After Ignatiev said goodbye, Yixin's father-in-law Gui Liang said: "This Russian cannibalistic flesh does not spit out bones, which is extremely hateful. ”

Yixin sighed: "It has been nearly 20 years since Lin Zexu banned smoking and had a dispute with the Yiren. The Yi people are still strong ships and guns, and my Qing Dynasty is still rope guns, copper cannons, big swords and spears; If our ship is strong, there is no such trouble! ”

Emperor Xianfeng took over and said abruptly: "This Russian is really a rakshasa!" Cannibalism is terrifying! However, the disaster will not be extinguished, and the Guangdong bandits will not be extinguished, so it's just that. That is, Nuo Yi, once the disaster is extinguished, I will drive back to Beijing and revitalize the dynasty. Zeng Guofan and Hu Lin's winged soldiers have been in Anqing for nearly half a year, only besieged and not attacked, neither rescued southern Jiangsu, and King Qin was also negative. ”

Su Shun said: "Qi my emperor, Prince Gong has not yet submitted his credentials, don't be impatient, wait for the Haiyan River to clear, it's not too late to start." Anqing is also a city, and gains and losses have nothing to do with the overall situation; Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi and the official documents, or waiting for work, surrounded the point to send reinforcements, completely suppressed Chen Yucheng's rebels, and swore to remove a major disaster for the saint. ”

Emperor Xianfeng said: "If I order the governor of Zeng to lead ten thousand troops and go north to King Qin, the Zeng family will come immediately?" Do you want to take the opportunity to postpone? Fengyang practiced Miao Peilin, held 100,000 soldiers, and said chiseledly; As soon as there is a repetition in the capital, it is a holy edict, which is very hateful! ”

That night, Su Shun privately met with his brother, Prince Zheng Duanhua, and said: Fuyi is decided, my emperor is comfortable, wine, sex, Ling, and cigarette are not falling, and if you don't listen to persuasion, you will be annoyed by re-persuasion, so you don't lose your mind!
