Deeply disgusted with opium, he smoked it himself
Will the emperor punch himself in the face again?
As mentioned above, in the thirty years of Daoguang, the Daoguang Emperor gave the throne to the Xianfeng Emperor. Xianfeng Emperor's original name was Ai Xin Jueluo. Yi Xu was the ninth of the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, but it is worth mentioning that he was the last emperor in the history of our country to hold real power, and after the Xianfeng Emperor succeeded to the throne, like his father, he wanted to save the national crisis and stabilize the turbulent situation of the country through reform.
Jintian Uprising
However, domestic uprisings and foreign invasions have always affected the reform process of the Xianfeng Emperor. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement grew stronger and stronger at home, and the Second Opium War abroad made matters worse. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originated from the Jintian Rebellion. In 1844, Hong Xiuquan, the spiritual leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, came to Guilin and established a worship of God in this place, and when I heard the name, I knew that it should be the image of a foreign country, and there was a partner named Feng Yunshan. They gathered more than 10,000 people in jintian, most of them were low-level people's names, there was no culture, listening to their flickering, they began a vigorous Jintian uprising.
Taiping heavenly kingdom
At this time, the common people were looking forward to a good life, and Hong Xiuquan promised to give them a good life, coupled with the two major defeats of the Jintian rebel army, the prestige grew, and the common people also joined this team. In 1851, Hong Xiuquan saw that the time was ripe and announced the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his army was called the Taiping Army. In 1853, the capital was Nanjing.
The fate with Hong Xiuquan
It is said that this Xianfeng Emperor is also unlucky, he has just become emperor for the first year, Hong Xiuquan established state power on his own turf, is this not a block with the Xianfeng Emperor? It is said that this Xianfeng Emperor and this Hong Xiuquan are together, which is the arrangement of heaven in the underworld, why is that? It turned out that the Xianfeng Emperor was born in Jifu Hall, and at that time there was a plaque with the words Hong Fan Wufu in the hall. Everyone noticed that there is a word "Hong" on the plaque, which means something, which is called fate, but it is estimated to be a bad fate. Otherwise, in the first year of Xianfeng, Xianfeng had just become emperor, and Hong Xiuquan would have gathered a crowd to make trouble. In the end, our Xianfeng Emperor had a flash of inspiration, and finally activated Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others, and finally suppressed the arrogance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fought for a breath. But there is also a fate that the Xianfeng Emperor reigned for eleven years, and as soon as the front foot left, the back foot Zeng Guofan completely annihilated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Hong Xiuquan died, but he also became the emperor for eleven years. God's arrangement is really fate.
Foreign forces invaded
But there was more than one unfortunate thing, after the Opium War, foreign forces had infiltrated, the Daoguang Emperor did the hand-throwing treasurer, and the Xianfeng Emperor took over the mess. Just when Xianfeng was six years old, the Western foreign devils such as jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards were getting fatter and fatter, and their appetites were getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits they had gained could not fill his greed. So if you want to make opium trafficking legal, what is opium, it is a drug! Once legalized, the state is finished, and the more people who smoke it, the greater the loss of national strength, financial resources and manpower.
Second Opium War
Xianfeng knew this truth, so he directly refused. How the foreigners were willing to give up, they directly launched a war, which is called the continuation of the "First Opium War (Sino-British War)", the "Second Opium War". In the eight years of Xianfeng, the Qing army was already unable to defeat the British and French allies, and requested peace, and signed four unequal treaties, namely the Sino-British Tianjin Treaty, the Sino-French Tianjin Treaty, the Sino-US Tianjin Treaty, and the Sino-Russian Tianjin Treaty. This was another faceless treaty signing, and many people asked why they did not rise up to resist, but in fact, the Qing Dynasty really could not move.
Burning the Yuanmingyuan
After ten years in Xianfeng and the signing of so many treaties, the British and French allies, without stopping the pace of attack, fought until They reached Beijing, at which time Xianfeng had already fled to Rehe. The foreigners soon occupied the Yuanmingyuan, compared to the next story everyone knows, burning and looting everything, in order to destroy their crimes, after the robbery, a fire burned for three days and three nights, burning more than 300 people, robbing more than 1.5 million cultural relics. This is the famous burning of the Yuanmingyuan, in fact, not only the Yuanmingyuan, the park around it has not been spared, known as a rare atrocity in the history of world civilization. Although it was partially repaired, the Eight-Power Alliance's war of aggression against China destroyed it.
Xianfeng died of illness
This was the bad thing that the Xianfeng Emperor encountered during his reign, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Second Opium War, and incidentally burned down the Imperial Forbidden Yuanmingyuan. Although he smoked smoking, he unexpectedly smoked opium, and there was nothing to eat Dan medicine, drink deer blood, originally his physical fitness was weak, so it was even weaker, and it was no wonder that he died of illness after eleven years of reign. What should be gossiped about is that he is also greedy for beauty, so who do you know he loves the most? That's right! It is our famous Old Empress Dowager Cixi.
Xianfeng died in Rehe, and before his death, he made Zaichun crown prince and found eight assistant ministers to assist Zaichun. So what's the result? We'll talk about it next time.
