"Burning the Old Summer Palace"
Today, let's talk about the burning of the Yuanmingyuan
Why did the British and French allies burn the Yuanmingyuan?
It's both Britain and France
Imperialist countries
It is the nature of the imperialist countries
External expansion
They are power politics
Increase the stick policy
Aggression against backward countries
Aggression, plunder, war
It is a good play of imperialism
Tiger Wolf Side,
It allows others to sleep soundly
So the disaster in the Yuanmingyuan is sooner or later
There is another reason for this
Kowtow diplomacy caused
The British envoys represented PashaLi
Led 39 people to the Qing Dynasty for diplomatic negotiations
Propose a series of unequal treaties
The Qing government was forced to agree one by one
But Pasha Li was not given to the Xianfeng Emperor
Prostrate yourself diplomatically and kneel
Broken the rules of the Qing Dynasty
The Xianfeng Emperor was furious from the bottom of his heart
Evil is born on the side of the guts
The dragon was furious
All 39 people were immediately arrested and brought to justice
Detained in the Yuanmingyuan for the most brutal humiliation
Torture and dismemberment of corpses
This is the end of diplomacy without kowtowing
Of these, 21 were tortured to death
The British government expressed strong dissatisfaction
It is believed that people were really killed in the Yuanmingyuan
The Xianfeng Emperor liked to go to the Yuanmingyuan the most
Only by burning the Yuanmingyuan can the hatred in your heart be lifted
Achieve the purpose of venting anger and revenge
So on the evening of October 18, 1860
The British and French troops came to the Yuanmingyuan
I was amazed by the Scene of the Old Summer Palace
amazed
Not far from the Yuanmingyuan
Gold and silver treasures, piled up like mountains, shining with gold
Ruby sapphire, pearl onyx, crystal porcelain
Dazzling, a thousand rays of qi, a thousand rays of light
Pavilion loft, towering ancient trees
Waterfalls fall from the sky
It's flowing down, and it's a thousand miles
The Anglo-French coalition couldn't help it
Can't help myself
Greed cannot be controlled
The order was chaotic, barking like a mad dog
Swarming, scrambling, you chase me
Grab, grab
Fight each other, fight each other,
Money often unmakes the men who make it
Brother, brother, hurry up and grab it
If you don't grab it, it's too late
After this village, there is no such shop
Now or never
It's enough to grab it once in a lifetime
Grab it! Grab it!
The gold and silver treasures of the Yuanmingyuan were looted
The fire burned for three days and three nights
The treasures of the palace are burned
Kangxi built the Yuanmingyuan
Xianfeng bullying section ruins
The wind blows in the sleeves
October 18, 1860
The Anglo-French forces howled like wolves
Break into the Yuanmingyuan in the evening
Loot the treasures and burn the homeland
3500 people with yellow hair and blue eyes
The momentum is raging
Pearl agate snatch
Emerald collar neck cover
Ruby and silk
I can't grab it in a hurry
Fight each other and have a carnival
Fill cart after cart
Smash wild slash wild gun
A lot of treasure can't be moved
All smashed without a trace
Cultural treasures are precious
From the pre-Qin to the Ming and Qing dynasties
The Anglo-French monster is called amplifying fire
Devastated
Eunuch palace maids and craftsmen
More than 300 were burned alive
Yellow hair and blue eyes grinned
A raging fire soared into the sky
You're done with a full load
The barbaric atrocities were shocking
The first of all gardens, the Yuanmingyuan
Skilled craftsmen are amazing
Jiangnan famous water is collected
Wan Fang Yong and Heavenly Wish
Peony Pavilion in the middle of the wonders
Pengdao Yaotai raises the heavens
The magnificent majestic hall towers over the mountain
The square pot is full of praise
Leave the palace to fulfill the world's dreams
It is also true and illusory
A fire burned clean
Nightmares wake up broken heartstrings
The sound of geese chirping flew south
The devastation of the four seas is vividly remembered
The vicissitudes of great change and glory go
The sins of England and France are too numerous to count
Come on
Revisit the history of humiliation in the Yuanmingyuan
Please remember this history of the Great Qing Dynasty
