In 1816, the British emissary Amistad asked to see the Qing Emperor Jiaqing, and wanted to change the treaty agreement in order to enter China to develop the economy. At that time, Western countries had begun to usher in the Great Industrial Leap Forward, and it was imperative for them to open the door of China. Unfortunately, this Amistad was thrown out before he met the Jiaqing Emperor, because he did not want to kneel. At that time, China was in the feudal period, the emperor was the biggest, you did not want to kneel to the emperor, and it was expected that you would be thrown out.
Amistad was very angry after being thrown out, thinking that since it could not be properly discussed, it could only be solved by force. In any case, the Qing government was inferior to Britain in all aspects, and after returning to Britain, he consulted with the Queen of England and unanimously decided to forcibly open the door of China by force. However, it is not easy for Amistad to bring an army to China, after all, he wants to cross the ocean, and who can say clearly what happened inside?
In 1817, Amistad's ships encountered pirates at sea, and after hitting the reef, they moved to St. Helena, where Napoleon was imprisoned. This was the founder of the First French Empire, very powerful in military and political terms, and if it were not for the defeat at Waterloo, it would not have fallen into this fate.
When Amistad knew that Napoleon was imprisoned in this place, he didn't think about it, and immediately went to him to ask him how to deal with China. I thought Napoleon would give him a lot of advice and methods for attacking, but I didn't want this former king to say to him: China is a sleeping lion, and when it wakes up, the world will tremble for it.
In his eyes, Chinese is not easy to mess with, and cannot be confused by its superficial indisputable. Perhaps for this reason, his iron horse never set foot in Chinese territory in his lifetime. After knowing why the Negotiations between China and Britain failed, he also advised Amistad to follow the customs, that is, he should perform three prayers and nine prostrations, after all, this is a kind of respect for others.
But at that time, Amistad was full of self-confidence, and did not pay attention to Napoleon's reminder, after all, China at that time was already very unbearable, or perhaps because he only listened to the second half of Napoleon's sentences.
After saying that China would make the world tremble, Napoleon added that it was now asleep, hoping that it would never wake up. Perhaps it was precisely because China was asleep at that time that Amistad decided to take the opportunity to rob and directly make China unable to wake up before it woke up. After the outbreak of the Opium War, China's door was completely opened, and China at that time was closed to the country for a long time, even if Britain developed rapidly, it was not an opponent in the face of foreign guns and cannons, and it was precisely because of this that China became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.
Although China used to be asleep, it is obviously unrealistic not to wake up. Facts have also proved that as long as China does not wake up, once it wakes up, it will indeed shock the world. Through the hard work of the Chinese people, we have not only shaken off the situation of aggression and oppression, but also developed and grown rapidly in just 70 years. It stood in the east of the world and became a country that no one dared to despise. We also believe that in the near future, the pattern of the world will eventually change dramatically because of China, and China's rise has long been unstoppable!
