The Old Summer Palace was not burned by the British and French forces? What is the truth?

It was the British army who burned down the Summer Palace alone. Britain later admitted the facts. Before the war, the British army successively sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty for negotiations, because of the arrogance of Emperor Xianfeng, he directly arrested all British envoys and executed them.

This move angered the British, who hated the Xianfeng Emperor, so they joined the French in waging war against China

According to an old Englishman, at that time, France did not approve of burning, and Britain advocated burning, and later France retreated first, and the British army burned the Old Summer Palace. Whether it was burned by Britain and France together, or by Britain alone, their crime of sacking the Old Summer Palace is unforgivable.

The Old Summer Palace is a very famous royal garden in China, which marks the wealth of the country during the Qing Dynasty. However, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded our country, looted a large number of cultural relics without entering, and burned the Old Summer Palace. This fire burned for several days and nights, and we have never forgotten this historical humiliation.

Although the Old Summer Palace was later restored, it was not as magnificent as it was originally.

For the Chinese, this fire is heart-wrenching, and the treasures of history have disappeared in this fire. At that time, the Qing ** was incompetent and did not dare to make any resistance to the Eight-Nation Alliance, not only ceding land and paying compensation, but also finally burying his own country. The shame of history has been recorded.

Although it has been a long time, when people mention burning the Old Summer Palace, we still can't help but be angry in our hearts. The hard work of the ancestors was ruined. And the initiator of this arson is constantly mentioned.

At that time, the Anglo-French forces were the main arsonists. Condemned all the time. There are different voices in the international community on this matter today.

According to historical records, it was the two major countries that set the fire, Britain and France, but this is not the case. According to the descriptions of the personnel at the time, the French coalition forces were only constantly looting the treasures, and it was the British who actually set the fires. So it is possible to go wrong.

But the crime of their robbery is indelible.

It is said that after the seizure of this place, a dispute arose between the armies of the two countries. The British believed that the place should be burned and the evidence of the crime should be destroyed. But the French army did not agree and persuaded many times.

In the eyes of the French army, this thing is done, even if it is set on fire, it is meaningless, so why bother to do more of this? It is said that at that time, the British and French forces were still arguing over whether to burn the Old Summer Palace, and the French felt that they had already obtained the treasure and did not need to burn the garden again. But the British insisted on going their own way.

Even Beijing's Three Mountains and Five Gardens are not spared.

Later, people gave an answer to why the British soldiers did this, it turned out that at that time, Qing ** captured a group of British soldiers and killed them. This made the British feel very angry, so they wanted to teach the Chinese a lesson. But hearing such an answer, many netizens angrily said, could it be that foreign powers invaded our country, and we could only be arrested?

The British are simply barbarians in this statement.

At that time, the British and French forces did rob the precious cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, but in the end, it was the nearby people who went in and looted it, and the defeat of the Old Summer Palace was caused by the people of the Qing Dynasty.

The words of the aggressor believe that in any case, without the invasion of our country by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Old Summer Palace would not have been burned, who is writing such a broken article? Who published this kind of article? Some of the Chinese people have been poisoned! It's still making it up!

I really want to sail the Liaoning into the British Channel.

Speaking of the cowardice of the late Qing Dynasty and the barbarism of the imperialist powers, there is one thing that is the most representative, and this incident is the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces. In 1709, this courtyard began to be established, because Kangxi rewarded Yongzheng's garden, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the scale of the garden expanded step by step, in the Qianlong period, the Wanchun Garden was incorporated, and then after various dynasties, there were repairs, and finally there was the title of the garden of ten thousand gardens.

This kind of garden, whether it is economic, cultural or historical value, is unparalleled, and to a certain extent, the Old Summer Palace is already a world heritage site, and people all over the world should not destroy it. However, as a royal mausoleum, after the decline of the Qing Dynasty, it became a place for looting by imperialist powers, and in 1860, after Emperor Xianfeng took Cixi Ci'an to the summer resort, the Old Summer Palace became a place for self-collection of gold, silver and jewelry in front of the robbers.

However, for some unknown reason, the British and French forces were angered, and after they looted countless gold, silver and jewelry, they also burned down the Old Summer Palace on October 18, which can be called a great loss of human heritage. This century-old cemetery was burned down, and to this day, countless Chinese sons and daughters feel sad and sorry for it, and even some foreigners feel sorry for it.

<>So, what was the Old Summer Palace, which is known as the first garden in the world, before it was destroyed? In fact, before the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, there was a British photographer who photographed the precious Old Summer Palace before the destruction, although the technology at that time could only be black and white, but once announced, it still made people feel shocked, and the architectural style and characteristics inside all made people sigh exquisitely.

Before the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, the starting price was 200,000 pounds at Sotheby's auction. It is really impressive, in 1860, the British and French forces obtained a lot of treasure by looting the Old Summer Palace, and more than a hundred years later, they were able to make a lot of money by auctioning off the ** before the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, and the Old Summer Palace, which was completely built by the Chinese, became a cornucopia of those who destroyed the Old Summer Palace.

<>And those restored **, people will only increase their pain and regret when they see it.

The Old Summer Palace is an architectural museum that integrates the essence of all the major civilizations in the world, and the main building is a series of civilization fusion buildings built on the basis of the Jiangnan garden, which I think can be the capital of the earth.
