Speaking of the late Qing Dynasty, we really can't say the taste in our hearts, in 1834, two British warships broke into Humen and shelled the Qing army's forts, in order to deter the Qing Dynasty by force, the Qing court was furious after learning the news, and immediately sent Guan Tianpei as the admiral of Guangdong to fight with the British army, this victory and defeat is of great importance, whether it is the Qing court or Guan Tianpei attaches great importance to it.
On the way before Guan Tianpei took office, he had already reported that he was willing to repay the country with his death, strengthen the coastal defense of the Qing Dynasty, and definitely live up to the trust of the emperor.
And he also knew that this actually had a lot to do with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, that officials in various places were corrupt and had no real ability at all, that there were many officials who bought them and then used them to amass wealth, and that when they really encountered a crisis, where these people could still take care of any country, it would be good to survive.
Therefore, after Guan Tianpei took office, he ordered that no one was allowed to send money, and it was also not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful, Zhang Yutang, the former camp of the Humen Association, naturally knew the news, in fact, he was also more entangled, in fact, he had issued such an order when Guan Tianpei took office several times before he took office, but in fact, it was still the same in secret.
In the end, he still decided to explore the tone of the admiral, so Zhang Yutang secretly gave it to Guan Tianpei with some money, which caused Guan Tianpei to be angry and demoted him to 3 levels in a row, this news spread very quickly, and officials at all levels did not dare to come back to give gifts after hearing about it.
After Guan Tianpei went to the front line to inspect, for this war, this is the most important thing, when he arrived at a fortress, he found that the soldiers here had strict military discipline and high morale, just when he was hungry, he was ready to eat here before continuing to work.
Wang Patrol, who was in charge of the fortress, quickly asked people to cook, and answered some questions from Guan Tianpei, and after a while Wang Patrol's men prepared a bowl of noodles and a plate of small dishes, Guan Tianpei's entourage was furious and even let the admiral eat only these, but Wang Patrol replied: "We have used all the money for coastal defense, this is already the best food." When Guan Tianpei heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was very happy, and he directly found someone to promote Wang Tour two levels, saying that the country needed talents like you.
After Wang Tour was reused, he also worked very hard to lead his army to repel two British attacks, while Guan Tianpei died in the fort in this war, and it has to be said that it is very difficult for the two of them to maintain a patriotic heart in the corrupt Qing court, and it is also worthy of our admiration.
