Which two robbers ransacked the Old Summer Palace

One of the two robbers was named France, and the other was England.

1.For the first time, in 1860, the French army occupied the Old Summer Palace on the 6th of the month, after which the British and French forces began to sack the Old Summer Palace. On October 11, the British army sacked the Old Summer Palace again.

On October 18, British troops burned the Old Summer Palace. During the Second Opium War, the Anglo-French alliance invaded Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty fled in a hurry. The invaders had long heard that the Old Summer Palace was a cornucopia, so they invaded the garden and looted it.

They loaded valuable treasures into carts and transported them back to their own countries. They set fire to the garden again, and the fire lasted for several days, and many buildings in the garden were destroyed, which was the "fire robbery" of the Old Summer Palace.

2.The second time, in 1900, after the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the remnants of the Old Summer Palace were looted again, but the real damage was the demolition of the Eight Banners Guard Barracks of the Old Summer Palace stationed on the periphery. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing and looted the Old Summer Palace.

After that, some bandits and ruffians took the opportunity to commit crimes and looted all the property that the foreign devils had no time to rob. Then, they sawed off the building timber and the piles of the wooden bridge, or pulled them down with large ropes, and cut down all the trees in the garden and pulled them to the market to sell for money.

Subsequently, some people took away all the stones of the Old Summer Palace, especially those exquisite jade carved with various patterns and patterns, and then either sold them or built houses, yards and pigsties. So, what is left of the Old Summer Palace of value? That's the soil.

Many people began to build houses on the ruins of the former palace of Chabusheng in the Old Summer Palace, and leveled the mountains, filled the lakes, and planted wheat and rice, without any shame! After all kinds of hardships, the world-famous Yuanmingyuan was finally completely destroyed.
